Slate Shannon, owner of Shannon's Place, a hotel and nightclub in Havana, and a 60 foot sloop, the Bold Venture, is hired by a man named Bullock to take him from Havana to Key West at night. Slate, along with Miss Saylor Duvall, Shannon's ward, are walking with Mr. Bullock toward the Havana harbor to get aboard. Bullock says "You won't regret this, Mr. Shannon". Saylor says "Mr. Shannon hardly ever regrets anything, do you Slate?" He says "That's because I lead such a clean life". Saylor says "See, Mr. Bullock? Where else could you have found a 100% fellow like Slate here to take you all the way to Key West in his own boat?" Bullock says "Oh, how well I know. Oh, that reminds me, the passage money". Slate says "You can pay me when I land you at Key West". Bullock says "And when you do that, you'll get a nice plump bonus". Saylor says "Plump, huh? You're a nice man, Mr. Bullock". He says "Well, thank you. I've got the money right here". Bullock pulls out a large roll of bills and says "I'll peel off any part of it, just say when". He peels off a few bills and Slate says "When". Saylor says "What did I tell you, Mr. Bullock? You finally found an honest man". Slate says "It means a lot to you to get to Key West, doesn't it, Mr. Bullock?" He says "Oh it does. I'm just not cut out for this excitement in Havana. I'm strictly a home body. How much farther to your boat, Mr. Shannon?" Slate says "A couple of minutes". About that time, two guys in a car coming up quickly from behind slam on their brakes. Slate says "Watch it, Saylor. Hey, what's with you guys? You know better than to drive in Havana with your headlights off. You could have .... " One of the guys says "Keep it polite, friend. We just want to ask directions". Bullock says "Mr. Shannon, look out! They're the men who ...." Just then, several shots rang out!
