Scene 12 (shot with two cameras and inter-spliced)

Ariella: "Who’s there?"

Shopkeeper: (from behind the door) "You were seeking information about some one this morning…some one missing…I have information."

Ariella opens the door cautiously. She sees it is the shopkeeper and lets him in.

Ariella: "Tell me."

Shopkeeper: "This morning…My wife was afraid…I am afraid too…"

Ariella: "Afraid of what? What happened to my sister?"

Shopkeeper: There are rumors."

Ariella: "Rumors about what?"

Shopkeeper: "There are rumors that some one, your sister perhaps, perhaps others stole, ah, maybe found, a great jewel. The Jewel of Doom it is called."

Ariella: "The Jewel of Doom?"

Shopkeeper: "The Jewel brings death, horrible death to those who try to possess it."

Ariella: "Oh, I’ve heard that one before. That’s what they said about the Hope Diamond. Bad luck to its owner."

Shopkeeper: "Your sister was seen in the village near where the Jewel was part of a great statue. She was there the day it disappeared. And there were footprints leading into the jungle."

Ariella: "Footprints? Plural?"

Shopkeeper: Yes. Those of your sister and of the Jungle Girl, Synda. And two others, the Baroness and her assistant. None of them has been seen since."
