THE CAST
For those who will climb it, there is a ladder leading from the depths to the heights—from the sewer to the stars——the ladder of Courage.
In the slums of Paris—under a street known as The Hole in the Sock——
"Look, Chico!"
"That's Monsieur Gobin, the street-washer."
"That's what I should be, Rat——a street-washer! Up there in the sunshine—among people——"
"After all, you know, I'm a very remarkable fellow!"

"They're on our heels! The whole French army—in taxicabs!"
"Run, fools! No army in the world can beat the taxi drivers of Paris!"
"My poor Eloise! She gave her life for France!"
"Colonel Brissac, I wish you wouldn't come here."
"Listen to me, Diane. The world is upside down—ideals, beliefs, traditions, all in the discard!"
"What do the old rules matter now? Each day may be our last. Let me take care of you!"
"Chico fights at the Front—I fight here in a munitions factory—"
"—We are shoulder to shoulder—that is all that matters."

"Couldn't I stay at your house until the police come? Then I'd go away."

"Crank up Eloise!"
"Crank up Eloise!"
"Optimist!"
"Allow me the honor of presenting you to Madame Chico, my good wife!"
"Get in before Eloise changes her mind!"
"Remember, you mustn't take this seriously. You're not going to take advantage of me?"
"Make a tour of the boulevards——then home. Tonight I am the Bank of France!"
"Not bad, eh? I work in the sewer—but I live near the stars!"
