In the bottom left corner is Adams being held in a loving embrace by Calhoun. The title of the movie appears diagonally from the bottom left corner to the right in large yellow print. Above the title in the black print reads, "Trapped on a mountain of gale-lashed rock... / FIVE DESPERATE / MEN... and a girl / who didn't care!" The card is trimmed in white. The movie is about a rescue team sent out to find survivors of a plane crash and $250,000 in cash that was also on the plane.
