(37,615 posts)Film of Captain Fortune Swagger down the gangplank of the Balclutha, catches a cable car, hangs on the outside with one arm with his ditty bag over his shoulder, up the hill, hops off the moving cable car in front of the station on Van Ness (creative license), runs inside...cut to the live show inside! Magic!
