Erstwhile East Coast "thousand dollar a day" hotshot reporter Kirk Douglas (already "fired from eleven papers with a circulation of eight million"), reduced to working for an Albuquerque rag and covering the local snake hunt, smells Big Story when he stumbles on an Indian relic hunter trapped in a cave-in. And so do gawking tourists, radio and TV reporters, a travelling carnival, and tough tomato Jan Sterling, who scorns the role of tearful wife. But what happens if the rescuers get there in time? Inspired by the actual 1925 Floyd Collins case, Billy Wilder's venomous attack on American vulgarity and greed made studio head Y. Frank Freeman so nervous that it was re-titled 'The Big Carnival' to make it sound fun.
