Yahya John. A fence is plane used by carpenter works that can be attached to the plane on either side, to give different results, depending upon which side the fence is placed. Green carpentry plane used by carpenter works in the use of environmentally friendly, [29] energy-efficient [30] and sustainable [31] sources of building materials for use in construction projects. It's a very difficult plane to describe how it's used in words, but I'll take a stab at it.

Thanks again,Reg Watt in Australia. From your guide, it looks like a type 7 with a date of This in my native England. In fact in has made in England on the inside of the blade. Does this make it rarer in the US? I Would like to sale it a collector. Roger Jackson. Rarer, perhaps, but not more desirable. What could it be worth? Bill K. Market prices vary significantly depending on condition and supply.

Check eBay for recent selling prices. I have a plane which my late husband had. What I can read on one of the ornate knobs is Stanley Rule. It is is the larger if the two. Looks like patent one 17 79 or Would like to be able to send you a picture. I have a Bailey No. Could you give me more info to this and how old it may be?

Thank you!!! Thank you for your knowledge. Can you tell me what I have? Sounds like a Stanley made plane of some sort. Impossible to provide more details without a lot more information about the plane.

Hello, I have a later model with a plain lever cap. No Stanley or Bedrock markings. Is the lever cap non original? Cheers Anthony. You are commenting using your WordPress.

It's impossible to say whether the plane was plated at a later date or whether someone in New Britain was goofing around with some leftover nickel at the end of the day.

An inexpensive floor scraper, which I've included only as filler. Forget it - it's ugly and worthless, now that we have those 'lectrical floor sanders at our renting call. Still, the chef in you might find it very useful for scraping your cast iron griddle clean of pancake crusties. The tool is a very simple construction - a wooden handle unfinished maple until the mid's, and from then on red painted hardwood until it went belly up is attached to a japanned casting.

On the backside of the casting is a maple block. Through both the maple block and the casting a bolt passes with a large washer and thumb screw to tighten the two pieces together.

The chunk of wood helps to dampen the blade as you pull the tool toward you. The wood often becomes all beat to hell or split from years of hard floor scraping.

The blade is normally fixed into the holder so that the blade's cutting edge is parallel with the casting's leading edge. However, the blade can be pivoted somewhat by turning the wood block toward one side and then tightening it. This is another wierd invention of Stanley's, which really should have sold more than it did.

It's a tough tool to find. A turned tropical hardwood the few I've owned are either mahogany or cocobolo has a geared cast piece fitted into its business end.

The geared piece accepts a similarly geared cast piece. Together, these two pieces are screwed together with a wing nut to allow the scraper blade to be adjusted forward or backward.

The scraper blade is held in place by another wing nut, and allows the blade to be tilted from side-to-side. Because of the two degrees of freedom, the scraper can be configured for the hard to reach, awkward areas. It was also advertised as being useful for floor scraping, which I suppose is a good thing for those who are given to fits of living on their hands and knees.

The scraper blade is the typical blade used in the 12 -type scrapers, except it has a hole drilled through its center so that it can be attached indirectly to the handle. The Stanley logo is stamped off-center, toward one of the long edges of the blade. If you see one that has the logo situated elsewhere, be suspicious of it being a replacement. A wooden grip, as wide as the blade is wide, is kerfed to fit over the top edge of the blade.

The grip has a metal strip screwed to it. The strip of metal extends below the grip and is curved so that it acts like a pressure spring to keep the grip from falling off. The grip can be pulled off so that the blade can be sharpened.

The grip is often missing on the tool. A washer-like cast iron piece is notched to fit around the strip of metal. This cast piece is what puts pressure on the blade when the wing nut is screwed tight. This cast iron piece has the number " No. Because of the length of the metal strip attached to the grip , and the fact that it fits into the notch in the cast iron piece, it's impossible to use anymore than approximately 1. The metal strip could be shortened by cutting it, but doing so decreases the amount of tension it offers to keep the grip in place.

It's perhaps this design flaw, along with the myriad of other scrapers Stanley offered, that killed this tool soon after it left the drawing board. The wing nuts have wings that are higher than normal - sort of what you'd expect if Mickey Mouse's ears paralleled Pinoccio's nose whenever Mickey said he likes the The wing nuts are nickel plated, and the cast iron parts are japanned. Several other manufacturers made a tool that looks practically identical to this one.

Starrett, Miller Falls, and others were cranking this thing out in greater numbers than Stanley ever did, and examples by manufacturers other than Stanley are not valuable other than for use.

This is one of Stanley's nicest planes, in my not so humble opinion. It's sort of a hybrid between the 78 and the It looks more like the common 78 , except with the noticeable difference in the cutter's width and that the cutter is skewed. There are also the two scoring spurs, and a depth stop and fence that can be positioned on either side of the plane, like the 's capability.

The lever cap's screw, the depth stop's thumb screw, and the fence's thumb screw are the only parts that are nickel plated on this tool. The sides of the plane are machined flat so that it can be used on its side.

This plane can also be found with an improper fence. A proper fence has web-like additions to the casting for strength where the portion for the rod meets the fence proper; the rod slips through the fence's opening for it roughly about mid-way along the fence's length.

An inordinate number of these planes turn up fitted with fences from a It seems odd that so many of them would have lost their fences over time. Perhaps Stanley ran out of fences and sold 78 fences as replacements for those guys who either lost or broke the original fence. It's hard to say for sure, but one thing is certain - the 78 fence is not designed to work well on this tool when the plane is configured for left-handed planing.

The fence has two holes, one front and one back, so that an auxilary wooden fence can be added to the plane. One thing to check on this plane is that the arm unscrews easily and fits onto the right side of the plane. The arm has a hole drilled through its end so that a nail can be inserted through the hole to tighten the arm. The arm's diameter of this plane is larger than that of the 78 's; the rod fills the hole in its original fence, so if you see a noticeable gap around the arm and the fence's casting it's a good bet that the rod isn't original.

This isn't fatal to the plane's function, but if you're a collector you might experience a brain spasm over it. Each spur fits into a milled recess, one on the left and one on the right, and they are not interchangeable with each other.

Many of the spurs are filed short so that they no longer can protrude below the sole of the plane. For a very brief time, Stanley made some of the planes with the three-lobed spurs that are identical to those used on the 78 and similar planes; this is the model to find, if you can.

The lever cap, along the righthand edge can sometimes be found with a large chip out of it. You should also make sure that the lever cap is really a proper one for the plane, and not one that was lifted from a 78 or similar plane as a replacement.

A proper lever cap has an S-shaped reinforcement ridge along its right edge relative to its position in the plane. The lever cap also has the unusual feature in that it must be pulled upward so that the lever cap fulcrum screw can engage the cap.

Nearly all the other planes that use a similar lever cap slip down over the lever cap fulcrum screw, taking efficient use of gravity. Perhaps the designer of the 's lever cap was from the southern hemisphere, the moon, or some place like that. The earliest models of the plane have the patent date embossed in the area just behind the cutter's bed. While you're looking for that date, to see if you have an early one, be sure to check the area of the casting that spans between the handle and body proper as it can sometimes crack.

More filler for this rag. A cheap scraper used on floors, for removing paint, etc. It did come with a leather pad, under the blade, to eliminate chatter, if that's important to you. Yup, a plane designed to remove fur, and a favorite among the PETA rank and file.

Not from animals, you chucklehead, but from wood, as it came off the saw mill. How would you like that job, planing wood as it came off the saw? Too bad What's My Line is off the air. I woulda loved to hear Kitty Carlisle or Nipsey Russell try to crack a fur planer's rough exterior when giving him the third degree. Judging by the length of time that this plane was offered, you can tell that fur planing was a popular pastime. Now, what is fur, in the lumber sense?

It's the rough, fuzzy surface left from the sawing. Oftentimes, the lumber was chucked onto the ground before it was stickered. So, it was like a dirt magnet. Thus, some genius at Stanley, Rule and Level, Co. Or one woulda thought so. This plane is bizzare looking.

When viewed from its side, the plane's sole makes contact only at its mouth and heel; between these two points, the sole arches upward. The toe is above the surface from just forward of the cutter to the toe's end. This wierd sole configuration, designed purposely to minimize the amount of contact with the wood, makes sworn members of the Flat Plane Society recoil in horror. If you ever stumble across one of these planes, don't bother trying to lap it, ok?

Looking at the plane from the top, the plane swells around the cutter's position, and tapers both toward the toe and heel so that the plane is lighter in weight. It certainly is a unique looking chunk of metal.

The entire bottom casting is japanned, save for the flat sections of the sole below the tote and around the mouth. The plane's model number is embossed right behind the knob. The knob and tote are beech, and each is held to the main casting with a one-piece steel screw, and not the two-piece brass nut and bolt that's used on the common bench planes.

The knob has a unique shape to it, where it tapers in diameter where it sits atop the casting. Stanley must have thought that this shape would lessen the knob's chances to split about the base, but many of the planes show splitting there.

A single, thick cutter is used, and is held in place by a simple cap and screw. The cutter rests on a simple fin-like projection that arises out of the main casting. Since there is no mechanical adjustment means for the iron, the backside of the iron is smooth. Any milling in the backside of the iron means it's a replacement.

You only want to own one of these if you're a collector. Many of them are found in very tough shape since they did suffer hard work.

Finding the planes in anywhere near new condition is very tough. One woulda thought that Stanley had exhausted every possible design for a plane to make the cuts for weatherstrip installation. But no, the New Britain think tank was in overdrive, and nothing could stop it from polluting the hardware shelves of America with more offal. First the 78 , then the , and now the , with this one is designed specifically to cut the rabbets for metal weatherstripping on meeting rails of sash and for general rabbetting within its capacity.

Wonder why there was never a - maybe they had one on the drawing board, but it frightened its designers to death and thus never got into production? Although it is , Martha, her husband Aaron, their children Debbie, Lucy and Ben, and their adopted son, Martin Pawley, have not seen Ethan since he left them to fight for the Confederacy during the Civil War. Because Martin, an earnest but friendly young man, is part Cherokee, Ethan treats him coldly, even though it was he who rescued the lad when his parents were massacred in an Indian raid years earlier.

Soon after Ethan's arrival, Rev. Samuel Johnson Clayton, a captain in the Texas Rangers as well as an old family friend, announces that the cattle of local rancher Lars Jorgensen have been stolen. Although Ethan is somewhat contemptuous of Sam, he joins Martin and a posse in pursuit of the thieves. When they find that the bulls have been killed with Comanche lances, Ethan declares that what the Indians really wanted was to lure the men away from home, thereby leaving their ranches open to attack.

The men head back, but it is too late, for upon their arrival at the Edwards home, they discover that everyone has been brutally murdered except for Lucy and Debbie, who have been taken by the Comanche. The posse then sets out to find the girls. On finding a fresh Comanche grave, the men unearth the body but are shocked when Ethan shoots out its eyes. According to Comanche belief, Ethan explains, this will prevent the dead man's spirit from entering the spirit lands and force him to wander forever.

The next day, the Comanche raiding party, led by Chief Scar, surrounds and attacks the posse, but the rangers drive them off. When Sam refuses to pursue the Comanche, explaining that they should be allowed to bury their dead in peace, Ethan explodes, and storms away from the men, intending to continue the search on his own. Both Martin, who endures Ethan's insults for the sake of his missing sisters, and young Brad Jorgensen, who loves Lucy, insist on joining him.

One day, Brad returns from a scouting mission and joyfully announces that he has seen Lucy's blue dress at a nearby Indian encampment. Ethan reveals that he found Lucy's body and covered it, then angrily warns Brad never to ask him to reveal more.

Wild with grief, Brad rides into the Indian camp and is shot to death while Ethan and Martin look on in horror. One year later, Ethan and Martin visit the Jorgensen ranch, and Ethan admits to Lars that they have lost the war party's trail.

Lars replies that a Texas merchant named Futterman claims to have knowledge of Debbie's whereabouts. Meanwhile, Martin confides in Lars's daughter Laurie, who is in love with the young man, his fears that Ethan may kill Debbie because of her long association with the Comanche. To Laurie's dismay, Martin then leaves to follow Ethan, who has departed without a word. The two give Futterman money in exchange for the news that Debbie is held captive by Scar.

That night, Futterman tries to shoot Martin and Ethan, but Ethan kills him and his henchmen, then retrieves his money. Time passes, and Laurie, who is now being courted by the bumbling Charlie McCorry, receives her only letter from Martin. In it, he confesses that he inadvertently "bought" a squaw he named Look, who trembled when he asked her about Scar, but left him an arrow fashioned of rocks before leaving him during the night.

Later, Martin and Ethan discover that Look joined the Comanche but was killed when the band was raided by the U. Ethan and Martin examine the prisoners taken during the raid, but do not find Debbie among the several white women found living with the Indians. His voice tinged with loathing, Ethan watches the women and remarks, "They ain't white anymore.

They're Comanche. Emilio takes them to Scar's village, where they finally meet their elusive enemy, who explains that because his two sons were killed by white men, he has taken many white scalps in revenge. One of his wives, a young white woman, then displays some of the scalps on a pole. Later that day, Ethan and Martin are visited by the woman, who, although admitting she is Debbie, begs them to leave and states that the Comanche are now her people.

Disgusted that Debbie has been "living with a buck," Ethan aims his gun at her, but Martin steps between them. Ethan eventually recovers from a gunshot wound received during the encounter, and the two return to the Jorgensen ranch, just as Laurie and Charlie are about to exchange marriage vows.

Laurie is thrilled at the return of the man she really loves, but Charlie is angry and challenges Martin to a fight. The altercation ends amicably, and Charlie calls off the wedding. Clayton, who was planning to marry the couple, assumes his role as the local lawman and arrests Martin and Ethan for the apparent murder of Futterman. Just then, cavalry lieutenant Greenhill arrives with orders from Col. Greenhill, the flustered young officer's father.

The rangers are to join the colonel in the field for a "joint punitive action" against the Comanche. Greenhill brings in Mose, who has been held captive by Scar. Injured and shaken, Mose reveals Scar's location, whereupon the men immediately prepare for a surprise attack.

Worried that Debbie will be killed in the coming battle, Martin sneaks into Scar's camp to rescue her, even after Ethan reveals that one of the scalps on Scar's pole belonged to Martin's mother. When Martin enters Debbie's tent, she screams but admits that she wants to leave.

When Scar appears, Martin shoots him, and Sam and the rangers attack the camp. Ethan finds Scar's lifeless body and scalps it, after which he begins to chase the frantic Debbie. As the battle rages around them, Martin tries to stop Ethan, but Ethan catches Debbie and, instead of killing her, suddenly lifts her into the air, tenderly cradles her in his arms and says, "Let's go home, Debbie.

Ethan delivers Debbie to Mrs. Jorgensen's tearful embrace, and Laurie joyfully greets Martin, while Mose, looking on from his rocking chair, smiles. Ethan surveys the scene from the door of the house, turns around and slowly walks away. Composer: John Williams. During an interstellar civil war, rebels battle against an evil empire, led by Darth Vader and a villainous governor named Grand Moff Tarkin.

Unable to recover the plans, Darth Vader discovers that an escape pod was launched during the attack, and orders the droids detained.

However, they are captured by cloaked scavengers called Jawas and sold to young Luke Skywalker and his Uncle Owen. As the boy refurbishes the droids, he complains that Uncle Owen has thwarted his dream of becoming a pilot and following in the footsteps of his deceased father. Storming away, Luke discovers that R2-D2 has escaped. The only person equipped to retrieve the data is her Jedi father, so the droid must be escorted to Alderaan immediately.

Back on Tatooine, Luke discovers his family murdered by stormtroopers and vows to become a Jedi. He joins Obi-Wan and the droids in their search for a pilot at the spaceport town of Mos Eisley. In a seamy tavern, they hire rugged outlaw smuggler Han Solo and his first mate, a tall, hairy Wookiee named Chewbacca. Meanwhile, Vader tortures Leia to discover the whereabouts of the rebel base, but she remains resolute.

Although Leia claims the rebel base is on planet Dantoonine, Tarkin incinerates Alderaan. At the same moment, on the Millennium Falcon, Obi-Wan feels pain in his heart. Upon their arrival aboard the Death Star, Han Solo and Luke kill several stormtroopers, don their armor, and capture a nearby outpost.

Luke convinces Han Solo to join him on a rescue mission with assurances of a bountiful reward. As they release the princess, a gunfight ensues, and Leia orders her rescuers into a garbage chute to escape. There, Luke is pulled underwater by a tentacled monster, but the creature suddenly disappears when the dump walls begin to compact. However, Obi-Wan warns that the prospect for peace will become infinitely more powerful if Darth Vader succeeds.

The friends escape a firefight, and Leia warns that the Millennium Falcon has been fitted with a tracking device. The Death Star follows as they proceed to the rebel base on the planet Yavin. The pilots must navigate down a narrow trench and fire into a two-meter-wide thermal exhaust port, causing a chain reaction.

As Luke mans his ship, with R2-D2 as his navigator, Han Solo ducks away with his reward money, claiming the battle is a suicide mission. Meanwhile, the Death Star comes within firing range of Yavin and the Imperial leaders anticipate their decisive victory. Rebels race toward the battleship and attempt to dodge their pursuers, including Darth Vader, who pilots a deadly imperial fighter. The Death Star takes aim at Yavin just as Luke speeds toward its vulnerable portal.

On a Friday afternoon in Phoenix, Arizona, Marion Crane and her lover, Sam Loomis, are having a romantic rendezvous at a hotel when Marion complains that she is tired of meeting Sam under such sordid circumstances. Sam, who runs a hardware store in Fairvale, California, assures her that they can marry after he pays his debts, but Marion longs for immediate respectability. Upon her return to the real estate office where she works as a secretary, Marion learns that her boss, George Lowery, is with oil tycoon Tom Cassidy.

Lowery, worried about leaving the money in the office over the weekend, tells Marion to take it to the bank, and Marion asks to go home afterward. After rebuffing Cassidy again, Marion departs, but at her apartment, stuffs the money into her purse and leaves with a suitcase. Driving until exhaustion forces her to pull over, Marion falls asleep on a lonely stretch of road. She is awoken on Saturday morning by a highway patrolman, who is suspicious of her irritable manner.

After the policeman dismisses her, Marion, afraid that he will remember her, goes to a used car lot and trades in her vehicle for one with California plates. Later, during a fierce rainstorm, Marion misses the turnoff to Fairvale and stops at the Bates Motel, where the proprietor, Norman Bates, welcomes her and offers to fix her dinner at his home, a looming structure on the hill behind the motel.

Marion accepts, but as she hides the cash in a newspaper she had purchased, she hears an old woman loudly berate Norman for attempting to bring a girl into her home.

Marion chats with the shy Norman, who confesses how alone he is, except for his mother. Norman relates his belief that everyone is in a trap of some kind, and that his mother is mentally ill due to the deaths of his father and later, her lover.

When Marion suggests that Norman could lead a life of his own if he put his mother in an institution, he reacts bitterly, stating that his mother is harmless and that he could never abandon her. Marion then goes to her room, unaware that Norman is watching her undress through a peephole. While Marion writes a note calculating how much of the stolen money she has spent, Norman strides to the house, resolved to assert himself. As Marion enjoys her shower, a shadowy female figure enters the bathroom and repeatedly stabs her.

A few minutes later, in the house, Norman screams out to his mother about the blood, then rushes to find Marion, lifeless on the bathroom floor. Norman also tosses in the newspaper, which he does not know holds the money, then sinks the car in a swamp behind the house. A week later, as Sam is writing to Marion, he is interrupted by her sister Lila, whom he has never met. Promising Lila that he will find her sister, Arbogast then spends two days searching the area.

When he reaches the Bates Motel, he interrogates Norman, who stammers that he has never seen Marion. When Arbogast sees Mrs. Bates sitting in a window of the house, he wants to question her, but Norman orders him to leave. Unsettled, Arbogast calls Lila and relates everything that Norman said, then states that he will return to Fairvale after interrogating Mrs.

As Arbogast climbs the stairs in the house, however, he is stabbed to death by a woman. After Chambers telephones Norman, who confirms that Arbogast left suddenly, Norman confronts his mother, telling her that she must hide in the fruit cellar for her own protection. Over her loud objections, Norman then carries her downstairs. After sneaking into the room in which Marion stayed, Lila finds a piece of the paper on which Marion had written.

Convinced that Norman hurt Marion to steal the money, Sam detains him in the office while Lila searches for Mrs. Meanwhile, Lila has been exploring the house, in which she finds Mrs. Returning to the first floor, Lila sees Norman running up to the house and hides downstairs. As Norman goes upstairs, Lila creeps down to the fruit cellar, where she finds Mrs. Bates sitting with her back to the door. Lila inches forward to tap the old woman on the shoulder, but when she swings around, Lila is horrified to find herself staring at a decaying corpse.

Later, as Sam and Lila wait with Chambers and other officials at the courthouse, Norman is examined by a psychiatrist, Dr.

Richmond explains that Norman, who suffers from a split personality, has been taken over by the dominant personality, that of his mother, and that Norman himself no longer exists. Richmond states that after the death of his father, Norman was overwhelmed by his domineering mother, and that when she took a lover, Norman killed them both.

Believing that his mother would be as jealous of him as he was of her, Norman subconsciously allowed the Mother side of his personality to murder any woman whom he found attractive. As they discuss the case, Norman sits in a nearby room, huddled in a blanket, while the Mother side of his personality thinks to herself that she could not allow her son to brand her a killer. Noticing a fly on her hand, Mother cunningly declares that she will not swat it, so that anyone observing her will know that she would not even harm a fly.

At the dawn of mankind, a colony of peaceful vegetarian apes awakens to find a glowing black monolith standing in their midst. After tentatively reaching out to touch the mysterious object, the apes become carnivores, with enough intelligence to employ bones for weapons and tools.

Four million years later, in the year , Dr. Heywood Floyd, an American scientist, travels to the moon to investigate a monolith that has been discovered below the lunar surface. Knowing only that the slab emits a deafening sound directed toward the planet Jupiter, the U. During the voyage, HAL predicts the failure of a component on one of the spacecraft's antennae. Bowman leaves the ship in a one-man space pod to replace the crucial part; the prediction proves incorrect, however, and when Poole ventures out to replace the original part, HAL severs his lifeline.

Bowman goes to rescue him, but HAL closes the pod entry doors and terminates the life functions of the three hibernating astronauts. Forced to abandon Poole, who is already dead, Bowman reenters the Discovery through the emergency hatch and reduces HAL to manual control by performing a mechanical lobotomy on the computer's logic and memory circuits.

Now alone, Bowman continues his flight until he encounters a third monolith among Jupiter's moons. Suddenly hurtled into a new dimension of time and space, he is swept into a maelstrom of swirling colors, erupting landscapes and exploding galaxies. At last coming to rest in a pale green bedroom, Bowman emerges from the nonfunctioning space capsule. A witness to the final stages of his life, the withered Bowman looks up from his deathbed at the giant black monolith standing in the center of the room.

As he reaches toward it, he is perhaps reborn, perhaps evolved, perhaps transcended, into a new "child of the universe," a fetus floating above the Earth. Composer: Franz Waxman. Early one morning, police arrive at a large house on Sunset Blvd. Gillis is living at the Alto Nido apartments in Hollywood, California.

While in Sheldrake's office, Joe encounters studio reader Betty Schaefer, who pans the script as formulaic. Sheldrake then refuses him a personal loan, as does his agent. Despairing, Joe makes plans to return to Dayton, Ohio, where he worked as a newspaper copy writer. While driving down Sunset Blvd. He coasts into the driveway of a dilapidated s mansion and hides the car in an empty garage.

Joe then enters the house, where stoic butler Max von Mayerling orders him upstairs to consult with "madame" immediately. Joe soon discovers that he has been mistaken for a mortician, who is due to arrive with a baby coffin for "madame's" dead pet chimpanzee. Joe recognizes the faded woman as Norma Desmond, once a famous silent movie star. When she rails against modern talking pictures, Joe tells her that he is a screenwriter.

The next day, Joe awakens to find that all his belongings have been moved from his apartment, and that Norma has settled his debts. Although he is angry at Norma for her presumption, he acquiesces because he so desperately needs a job. Joe soon learns that Norma's fragile but enormous ego is supported by the scores of fan letters she still receives, and two or three times a week, Max projects her silent pictures on her living-room movie screen.

Nilsson and H. Warner, are playing bridge one night, two men arrive and tow away Joe's car. To appease the distraught Joe, Norma arranges for Max to refurbish her old Isotta-Fraschini, an extravagant Italian sports car. The once reclusive Norma becomes increasingly controlling. After a rain storm soaks Joe's room, she has him moved into the bedroom adjacent to hers, where her three former husbands slept. When Joe notices that none of the bedroom doors have locks, Max explains that Norma's bouts of melancholy are often followed by suicide attempts.

Joe then realizes that Max has been writing Norma's fan letters so that she will not feel completely forgotten. On New Year's Eve, Norma stages a lavish party for herself and Joe, but he flies into a rage because he feels smothered. Feeling rejected, she slaps him, and he leaves the house. At a lively party at the home of his friend, assistant director Artie Green, Joe again meets Betty, who is engaged to Artie, and is excited about one of Joe's stories.

Joe asks to stay for a few weeks, and Artie agrees to put him up. When he calls Max to have his things sent over, however, Max tells him that Norma slit her wrists with his razor blade. Joe returns to the house at midnight and finds Norma weeping at her own stupidity for falling in love with him. She pulls him to her and they kiss. After Norma recovers, she has the pool filled, and announces that she has sent her script to Paramount's director of epics Cecil B.

DeMille, with whom she made twelve pictures. Although Betty tells him she has nearly sold one of his stories, Joe says he has given up writing, and leaves.

Norma later gets a call from Paramount, but refuses to take the call because DeMille has not called her himself. Finally, Norma visits the studio unannounced. While Norma receives the long-awaited attention she craves on DeMille's set, Max learns that the earlier call was an inquiry about her car, which the studio wants to use for a film.

While on the lot, Joe sees Betty, who is busy revising his story, and agrees to collaborate with her on the script in her off-hours. Norma misinterprets DeMille's pitying kindness for a deal, and a staff of beauty experts descends on her house to ready her for the cameras. Betty and Joe, meanwhile, meet repeatedly in the late evenings, and he begins to care for her, but keeps his other life with Norma a secret.

One night, Max reveals to Joe that he was once an influential Hollywood director who discovered Norma when she was sixteen and made her a star. After he became Norma's first husband, she left him, but when Hollywood abandoned her, he gave up his prosperous career to return to serve her as a butler.

Eventually, Norma, suspicious that Joe is involved with another woman, finds his and Betty's script and goes into a deep depression. Meanwhile, Betty receives a telegram from Artie, who is filming in Arizona, asking her to marry him immediately. She confesses her love to Joe, and he admits he wants her, too.

When he arrives home that evening, however, he catches Norma calling Betty to expose him as a kept man and giving her the Sunset Blvd. When Betty arrives, Joe bitterly explains that he is Norma's companion. Betty urges him to leave with her immediately, but he tells her he is bound to "a long term contract with no options" and allows her to leave. He then packs, with the intention of moving back to Ohio, and returns all of Norma's gifts.

Shouting that "no one ever leaves a star," Norma shoots Joe twice in the back and once in the stomach, sending him to his death in the pool. A throng of reporters and policemen surround the house, but the police are unable to get Norma out of her bedroom, until Max directs the Paramount newsreel crew to set up their equipment at the bottom of the stairs, and tells Norma that the cameras have arrived.

At the bottom of the stairs, Norma announces, "I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. Benjamin Braddock, filled with doubts about his future, returns to his Los Angeles home after graduating from an Eastern college.

His parents soon have a party so they can boast of their son's academic achievements and his bright prospects in business. Robinson, one of the guests, persuades Ben to drive her home and there tries to seduce him, but her overtures are interrupted by the sound of her husband's car in the driveway.

Blatant in her seductive maneuvers, she soon has the nervous and inexperienced Ben meeting her regularly at the Taft Hotel. As the summer passes, Benjamin becomes increasingly bored and listless; he frequently stays out overnight and returns home to loll around the pool.

When his worried parents try to interest him in Elaine, Mrs. Robinson's daughter, Ben agrees to date her to avoid having the entire Robinson family invited to dinner. At first Benjamin is rude to Elaine and takes her to a striptease club, but realizing how cruel he has been, he apologizes and the two begin dating.

Outraged, Mrs. Robinson demands that Ben stop seeing her daughter; instead he blurts out the truth to a shocked Elaine, who returns to college in Berkeley.

On a spring day in when Jonnie visits Annabelle in Marietta, Georgia, he learns that Confederate troops have fired upon Fort Sumter and joins the throng of Southerns attempting to enlist in the Confederate Army. When he is rejected because his skill as an engineer is deemed vital to the cause, Johnnie attempts to enlist under various disguises.

When Annabelle confronts Johnnie about enlisting, Johnnie tells her the truth, but Annabelle tells him not to speak to her until he is in uniform. A year later, in a Union encampment just north of Chattanooga, General Thatcher and his chief spy, Captain Anderson, make plans to sabotage the Confederate railroad: They will enter the South posing as civilians, steal a train then proceed North, burning every bridge along the way to cut off supplies to the southern troops.

Union General Parker will advance to engage the Confederates in a surprise attack on day they steal the train. Meanwhile, in Marietta, Annabelle, who still shuns Johnnie, boards The General en route to visit her father, who has been wounded in the war. When all the passengers disembark at Big Shanty for dinner, except Annabelle, who is in the luggage car searching for her trunk, the disguised Union spies remove the pin to the passenger cars and steal the engine and luggage car.

While Johnnie chases The General with a hand-operated car, the Union soldiers discover Annabelle and tie her up. Johnnie is than derailed and continues on a penny-farthing bike until he reaches the Confederate encampment in Kinston, where he convinces an officer to help him find the train. After Confederate troops are loaded into several railroad cars, Johnnie leaves the station piloting an engine called The Texas; however, he is so preoccupied with the chase that he fails to look behind him until miles down the track, where he realizes that the troop cars are not attached to the engine.

Deciding to fight for The General alone, Johnny attaches a car with a canon he finds on the tracks. As he approaches The General, Johnnie attempts to load and fire the cannon, but he accidentally jostles it in the direction of his train.

As Johnnie rushes to the front of the train to protect himself from the blast, the train rounds a bend causing the cannon to fire at the Union soldiers instead. The Union soldiers, now fearing for their lives, disconnect their last car in hopes of stopping The Texas.

Johnnie spots the slowing car and tries to switch it onto another set of tracks; however, the Union soldiers then drop a log across the tracks,which derails the car. Johnnie, having just turned his head, is baffled when he finds the car has suddenly disappeared. As the Union soldiers throw more logs across the tracks, Johnnie runs to the cow-catcher at the front of the train and cleverly pushes the logs off the track. At a changing station, the Union soldiers switch tracks to divert Johnnie, but Johnnie connects back to the main rail.

When he finally realizes he is crossing into enemy territory, Johnnie abandons his train and runs into the woods to hide. During a rainstorm that night, Johnnie sneaks into a home for shelter, but finds himself trapped under the dining room table when a group of Union officers seat themselves to discuss their battle plans.

Johnnie learns that Union soldiers are planning a surprise attack for the following morning and that Annabelle is their prisoner. Later, as the others sleep, Johnnie manages to escape the dining room, change into a Union uniform and rescue Annabelle.

The next day, Johnnie decides they must warn the Confederates about the attack. After stuffing Annabelle into a sack, Johnnie loads her onto a freight car attached to The General and then takes off towards the South. When Johnnie leaves the train to move a crosstie, Annabelle, unable to work the gears, runs the engine forward and backward, leaving Johnnie behind, until he finally catches the train. As they reach Rock River bridge, Johnnie sets the bridge on fire to hinder their pursuers.

When Annabelle accidentally puts a burning log between Johnnie and the train, Johnnie tries to leap onto the train, but misses the track and falls straight in to the water below. Upon reaching southern territory, they rush to the Confederate headquarters, where Johnnie informs the commander of Union plans and Annabelle is reunited with her father.

Soon after, the Confederate troops arrive at the bridge just as the Union soldiers attempt to drive the supply train over it. As a car plunges into the water, the Confederate Army fires at the approaching Union troops who are fording the river.

Johnnie attempts to help by firing a cannon, but aims it in wrong direction. The blast breaks a dam upstream, flooding the river and washing out a whole line of approaching Union soldiers. Victorious, Johnnie returns to southern headquarters, where he is commissioned as a lieutenant and thus wins the love of Annabelle. When passing soldiers salute the new officer, Johnnie embraces Annabelle with his left hand, freeing his right hand to salute.
