Introduction of Larry Keating as Emory, manager of Carson enterprises, on the phone, who has no idea that secret lovers Gerry (Rhonda Fleming) and Joe (William Lundigan) have seized the unexpected opportunity to leave her husband and their boss (Robert Ryan) to die in the desert, early in Inferno, 1953.

First scene for Robert Ryan as cranky hard-drinking wealthy mine owner Carson, voicing his internal monologue, not aware that his unfaithful wife and trusted employee (Rhonda Fleming, William Lundigan) have improvised a plan to leave him to die after a riding accident, early in Inferno, 1953.
