Bill and Billie hear and then see a search plane slowly circling overhead at low altitude. Realizing that the others inside the church will not hear the plane's engine, they rush back and awaken them. The group hurriedly builds a signal fire, which the plane's pilot sees. He parachutes a box of provisions to them with a note saying that help will be sent immediately. The next day the group sees a rescue party heading toward the church. While awaiting their rescuers, Dan observes Bill and Billie sitting together on the floor. From his coat pocket Dan pulls out Billie's extradition papers and a "wanted" notice that includes a photograph of Bill and information about his being a fugitive from Saint Paul. Dan walks over to the stove, now cold from no fires, and tosses both papers into it. Bill and Billie see him discard the papers, and they look at one another. Bill then gets up, retrieves the papers from the stove, gives them back to Dan, and asks him to drop him off in Saint Paul on his way back to New York with Billie. Cast William Boyd as "The Boy" (Bill) "Carol" Lombard as "The Girl" (Billie Davis) Owen Moore as "The Detective" (Dan Egan) Phillips Smalley as "The Banker" (J. Milton Hendrickson) Billy Bevan as "The Driver" (Gus) Diane Ellis as "The Kid" Cast notes The opening credits of High Voltage give Carole Lombard's first name as "Carol," her preferred spelling for her name up until that time. However, the year after the release of High Voltage she performed in Paramount Pictures' production Fast and Loose. In her credits for that film, the studio mistakenly added an "e" to Carol. Lombard liked the spelling, so she decided to keep "Carole" permanently as her screen name. Reception In July 1929, the entertainment trade paper The Film Daily gave a generally positive review to the "All-Talker Version" of High Voltage, as well as high marks to William Boyd's performance. With regard to "Carol Lombard", the New York publication identifies her only in the film's cast listing; it never refers to her by name within the body of its review, just as either "the blonde prisoner" or "the girl": References External links 1929 films 1929 drama films American black-and-white films American drama films Articles containing video clips 1920s English-language films Films directed by Howard Higgin Pathé Exchange films 1920s
