The setting is Austria in the late 1930""s just before the annexation of Austria with Nazi Germany:Salzburg, Austria, in the last Golden Days of the Thirties.He then sent a detachment to retrieve the escaped pod (without life-forms onboard) and recover the plans: "There""ll be no one to stop us this time!"The escape pod crash-landed on the planet Tatooine - a backwater, desolate, arid, desert-like planet with rolling sand dunes, but the droids weren""t injured.[Views of soldiers on guard, and then standing on parade and marching in a square.]Oh, I was gonna tell you, wait, I was gonna tell you about Holly Martins, an American.Came all the way here to visit a friend of his.The name is Lime, Harry Lime.Now Martins was broke and Lime had offered him some sort - I don""t know - some sort of a job.Anyway, there he was, poor chap, happy as a lark and without a cent.[Anyway, I was dead broke when I got to Vienna.A close pal of mine had wired me, offering me a job doing publicity work for some kind of charity he was running.He accidentally sneezed (with blood splatters) on neighboring Hunsiker who came out to confront him - infecting him."At the same moment, a doddering, tardy Mr.Charles Chipping (nicknamed "Mr.Chips") (Robert Donat), the retired master who still lives on the school grounds, ignores his doctor""s orders and is glimpsed shambling along in full academic garb (with mortar board and walking stick) toward the assembly.
