Still in Palm Springs, Don rolls the clock back to share a moment of what happened earlier in the week. Rochester joins Jack for a swim. With, or without his water wings, Jack splashes in the pool. Mary is sure to point out Jacks swim suit, and other frailties to tease him. Mr Billingssley has just flown in on his magic carpet, then Jack and Mary take a sun bath together. Dennis Day arrives to play his song on Jack’s victrola, It All Comes Back To Me Now.
Jack is looking forward to the rest of the gang getting here, so they can all hike to Taquitz Falls. Mary isn’t keen on the long walk, but as soon as the Indian guide arrives, the hike can begin. Phil plays some jazzy traveling music to get the hike going.
Commanding the march, Jack learns his guide, Eagle Puss is off the beam. Phil has his snake bite meds ready. And the palefaces continue. What does that mean for Rochester? As Jack admires the rock formations, a mysterious movement in the bushes could mean danger, but our gang marches on. The scenery, communing with nature, fun with echos is enough to inspire Jack. What if he should find an outcropping of gold nuggets?
