Page "The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming" Paragraph 6

With the rising tide, the submarine frees itself, and the Russian captain ( Theodore Bikel ) sets out in search of his missing men.

He finds Rozanov and Kolchin in the harbor and threatens to blow up the town unless the other seven are returned to him.

Chief Mattocks arrives with the rest of the armed villagers who threaten action against the sub's crew on deck with rifles and pistols.

As tension mounts, a small boy ( Johnny Whitaker ) falls from his perch on the church steeple and hangs perilously from a gutter.

Forgetting their differences, islanders and Russians unite to form a human pyramid and rescue the child.
