At first, it appears that the planet is completely desolate, but they look for signs of life anyway. They discover that it has life when they see a small plant growing in the desert. They pull it up -- go figure. "Where there's one, there must be more!" so, hope renewed, they keep looking. And, indeed, more hardy plants and grasses do appear and become larger and more numerous. |

Eventually, they run into a line of "scarecrows" set on the top of a cliff. They climb to investigate, but their leader, Taylor (played by Charlton Heston), sees something much more interesting at the top -- life! In abundance! They find fresh water, [[Gone Swimming Clothes Stolen|go skinny dipping, and get their clothes stolen]] by wild, naked, mute humans, whom they chase after. The mute humans toss aside the remaining supplies, wrecking them. |

Our crew is still mingling with the humans when a band of apes -- clothed, armed, and on horseback -- hunts and captures them. Neither they nor we can see who is attacking at first. One of the astronauts is killed; Taylor is shot in the throat, which renders him mute and bleeding profusely. He is among the captured, and taken back to the apes' mostly pre-industrial city. |
