00:30Directors of an airplane factory have been menaced by mysterious threats, written on
00:59the scene.
01:00Circumstances cast suspicion upon Nathan Gregory, owner of a small carnival show, who claims
01:07that the directors stole from him an invention that is worth a fortune.
01:13Gregory's daughter Jean, convinced of her father's innocence, is fighting hard to clear
01:18him of the charge.
01:20Meanwhile Craig McCoy, stunt flyer with the carnival, is trying to recover the plans of
01:26Gregory's invention from an agent of the mysterious eagle.
01:30You may have something in your pocket that will tell me the truth.
01:46Mr. Gregory's stolen plans.
01:48Well, one of it.
01:50Whoever stole these plans is working for the eagle.
01:53I didn't steal them.
01:54Well, you'll go to jail.
01:55I should rather tell who did steal them.
01:57Okay.
01:58I'll tell you.
01:59Look.
02:00A message from the eagle.
02:01Look, Major Evans.
02:03Why, it's McCoy fighting with that stranger.
02:05That's no stranger to us.
02:06It's our boss.
02:07Your boss?
02:08What?
02:09What?
02:10What?
02:11What?
02:12What?
02:13What?
02:14What?
02:15You see, you're not doing anything.
02:16Why, it's McCoy fighting with that stranger.
02:17That's no stranger to us.
02:18It's our boss.
02:19Your boss?
02:21Your boss?
02:41Come on.
02:55Quick, a big envelope with Mr. Gregory's plans in.
02:59Help me find it.
03:05Give me those plans, I tell you...
03:06Get them to me.
03:08Say the word, boss, and I'll unscrew these things and see what makes them tick.
03:13Just hold on to them till I search them.
03:15Try to have anyone searched against his will and I'll have this cheap show closed up and everyone in it arrested.
03:20Oh, yeah?
03:23Hey, Rube!
03:25Hey, Rube!
03:26Hey, Rube!
03:27Hey, Rube!
03:28Hey, Rube!
03:29No rough stuff now, fellas.
03:31They'd like nothing better than a chance to close this show.
03:34One of you men has those plans, but we'll find a way to get them back.
03:37What plans he's talking about?
03:39You know what I mean.
03:40The plans to Mr. Gregory's invention.
03:42The invention you men stole from him.
03:44The invention you're building your fortune on.
03:46That must be crazy.
03:47No, not crazy.
03:48Just crooked.
03:50That's a story that he and Gregory have concocted to try and extort money from us.
03:55That's a lie.
03:57Oh.
03:59Come on, let's get out of here, fellas, before I get us all in trouble.
04:01And it's guys like you that make birds like me hate guys like you.
04:11And when I got into the tent, I found Clark on the ground, dead.
04:27And this young lady covering the prisoner with this gun.
04:31He admitted to killing in the presence of myself and other witnesses.
04:34You will verify that statement, I suppose, Miss Gregory?
04:39Why, yes, I suppose.
04:42That is.
04:43Go right ahead, miss.
04:44You needn't be afraid he'll start anything.
04:46Oh, it's not that.
04:48It's because I've known Pat since I was a little girl.
04:50And it's, it's, oh, Pat.
04:52Oh, go ahead, kid, and do your stuff.
04:54I started something, now you finish it.
04:56If you don't, I will.
04:58Sure, that story's okay.
05:00Just as his knob sprung it.
05:01Well, where's me boudoir?
05:05Knock him up.
05:07Right that way.
05:15Is this all you want with me?
05:17Not quite.
05:18As a matter of form, do you identify this gun as the one Clark was killed with?
05:31Yes, that's the gun.
05:34That'll be all.
05:36Could I speak to the prisoner before I leave?
05:39Well, yes, I guess so.
05:43Look, take the young lady back to Kelly's cell.
05:51Miss Gregory wishes to see the prisoner.
05:53You may be out of here before we expect it.
05:56I've just found out something.
05:59Do you know whose gun that was?
06:00I know whose.
06:01Mine.
06:02Yours?
06:02Yes, the one those men took for me in Gardner's office.
06:06That means that one of them did the killing.
06:08It's a cinch.
06:09Exactly.
06:10And I'm going to their office and search for evidence to put them behind the bars.
06:13So long, Pat.
06:14Don't worry.
06:15I won't.
06:16Bye-bye, kid.
06:17I'll be back.
06:18I'll be back.
06:19I'll be back.
06:20I'll be back.
06:21Bye-bye, Jeannie.
06:29It's certain that they're holding Mr. Gregory prisoner so it'll make him appear guilty of the eagle's crimes.
06:35Didn't Clark say anything before he was killed so that you can guess who the eagle is?
06:40Only that it was one of the directors.
06:43And how are you going to tell which one it is?
06:51Maybe we can find out which one it is.
06:58How?
06:59We'll get them all together at the factory.
07:02And then we'll send word that Gregory is escaping.
07:06Yeah?
07:07I don't see how you're going to get them all together.
07:09Ah, you ain't supposed to do anything, you big palooka.
07:13You'll pay to Ben Horshoes.
07:15Quit picking on Heine, will you?
07:16He's got plenty to do.
07:18Now, your job's all set.
07:20Oh, yeah?
07:22Yeah.
07:23Be at the factory when the noon whistle blows.

08:08What's on your mind?
08:09I've got big news about the eagle.
08:11I don't dare say any more.
08:12This is a public phone.
08:14Call the others and meet me at the factory in half an hour.
08:16Very well.
08:17We'll be there.
08:21It worked, didn't it?
08:22He thought it was Green talking.
08:26Why shouldn't it work?
08:28What's the use of being a ventraliquist
08:30if you can't imitate someone else's voice?
08:32Then we'll have to step on it to get out there ahead of them.
08:34We'll have to step on it to get out there.
08:35We'll have to step on it.
08:36We'll have to step on it.
08:37We'll have to step on it.
08:38We'll have to step on it.
08:39Hello.
08:44Okay, boss.
08:45I got you.
08:46Right away.
08:47We've got all up to head for the factory and stand by.
08:49The directors are meeting.
08:50There's something in the wind.
08:51Come on.
08:52Let's go.
08:53The directors are meeting.
08:54There's something in the wind.
08:55Come on.
08:56Let's go.
09:13Colfax 4141.
09:14Send a taxi to 241 Water Street.
09:21Quick.
09:44.
10:01Is everything all right?
10:02Will they show up yet?
10:03Yes.
10:04We'd better get set before they do.
10:06That's not the director's room.
10:08I know it isn't, but I'm going to wait in here
10:10where I can hear everything.
10:36Now, you fellas scatter out and hide.
10:40Wait a minute.
10:42You NY's me up to the plan.
10:44Well, one of the directors is holding Mr. Gregory prisoner.
10:46Now, I'm going to make them think that Gregory is escaping.
10:49And the one that's guilty will make a beeline to stop him.
10:54I got you.
10:55One of us will tail one of them.
10:57Right.
10:58Now, try not to gum up the works, you bitch, Toluca.
11:01Right.
11:06Here are the keys to the back gate.
11:08You two fellows scout around while I go upstairs and wait for the boss.
11:32Better leave the gate unlocked.
11:33We might have to clear out of here in a hurry.
11:36Okay.
11:37I heard a little more.
11:38I know.
11:39I could do that as well.
11:40Now, we're off a tense, right?
11:41I'm going to do that again.
11:42I'm going to try out by here in a hurry.
11:43For the next fin in the morning, the second point.
11:45And the second point.
11:46We'll try and do it again.
11:47That's good.
11:48You mean the next question.
11:49You can do it again.
11:50You can do it again.
11:51Good?
11:52Come on.
11:53Come on.
11:54Home.
11:55Now, I don't want to get you.
11:56Time.
11:57You can do it again.
11:59You can put a mutter.
12:01You can't do it again.
12:02You can do it again.
12:03I won't make it.
12:04You can go on the phone.
12:35Who are you, and how did you get here?
13:04The strong man from the carnival tied me up and took my badge.
13:09The strong man?
13:10Yes.
13:10That means McCoy's up to something.
13:13We better get upstairs and get Gardner off quick.
13:34Well, how do you like your accommodations, Gregory?
13:40You can't keep me here much longer.
13:43Don't worry.
13:44Your friends will never find you.
13:46Don't be too sure about that, Gardner.
13:52But Craig, my boy.
13:54We'll have you out of here in no time.
14:03Look.
14:04Let's go.
14:05Let's go.
14:06Let's go.
14:07Let's go.
14:08Let's go.
14:09Let's go.
14:10Hello.
14:11Hello.
14:12Hello.
14:13How are you, Green?
14:14Pretty good.
14:15Well?
14:16What do you mean, well?
14:18Didn't you phone me that you had something important to tell us?
14:22I did not.
14:23Didn't you phone me to meet you here?
14:25You stand in the shadow of the eagle.
14:27Gregory has escaped and is on his way to the police.
14:31Who said that?
14:32There's no one in this room.
14:33There must be someone in the hall.
14:34Or on the fire escape.
15:01There must be someone in the hall.
15:03This way, James.
15:04Quick!
15:11Those birds will take care of her.
15:12We'll go on up and report to the boss.
15:31Shhh.
15:32The eagle.
15:33Get to the street, Mr. Gregory.
15:34I'll hold him.
16:01Let's be.
16:27Father!
16:28Gene.
16:29Gregory!
16:31Gregory!
17:00I will call it a little later.
17:03I will talk to you later, as you are the first day.
17:06I will talk to you later.
17:08You are the only one.
17:09You guys will see your new moon!
17:12I am looking to a new moon!
17:13I am looking to the moon with my new moon!
17:17Your moon is open.
17:19The moon is opened.
17:22It is ready for my moon!
