A collector thinks he may have a clip of the first talking
picture. HISTORY DETECTIVES host Gwen Wright tracks down the origin
of the "Lauste Film Clip." Wes Cowan explores Gold Rush territory
in search of the facts behind "Baker's Gold" - sketches of five-
and eight-pound gold nuggets. Then, a Cape Cod beachcomber stumbles

"Transatlantic Cable"? Tukufu Zuberi is on the case.
