Both issues eventually become apparent to Miss Fiske, who cannot tolerate how Emily and Louisa disrupt her home life. However, Ellen "convinces" Miss Fiske to take an extended leave from the house, while Ellen tells her sisters that she bought the house from Miss Fiske, which the sisters are not to tell anyone else.

As he sets off across the harsh terrain, he discovers he's not merely transporting a battered vehicle, but an old touring cinema.

If the films are boring, they face death in the outback.
