Even the sixth-place Giants have come on so fast that their fans are talking of 1951, when a midsummer spurt shot them all the way to the top. And all the while, on the edge of the pack, ready to drag down the first team to falter, the trailing Pirates and Cubs are giving none of their betters an easy inning...

In fact, Wilde distrusts the whole safari-even the coy lady anthropologist (Donna Reed) and her missionary uncle (Leo Genn), and certainly the natives, as shifty-eyed a pack as ever whetted spears. The snail's pace direction makes it seem they will never find that blasted mine...
