01:40Well, his friend, the strong man, waits outside with a car to get Gregory away.
01:45Let me go.
01:46Let me go.
01:47Let me go right there, you.
01:48Let me.
01:49I don't belong.
01:50You can help me.
01:51Get the motors farther.
01:52I'll hold these boys up.
01:53Come on.
01:54We've got to stop Gregory.
01:55I hold these boys up!
01:59Come on, we've got to stop Gregory.
02:11Come on, we've got to stop Gregory.
02:18Come on, we've got to stop Gregory.
02:48Beat it around a corner. I'm going back to help Craig.
03:11Go on through, Gene. If we stop, they'll get us.
03:18Don't stop. Go on.
03:20It's no use. We've had a blowout.
03:26There's still a chance, Daddy. Let's run for it.
03:28There's still a chance, Daddy. Let's run for it.
03:36They've taken to the brush.
03:38They've taken to the brush.
03:47They've taken to the brush.
04:08They've taken to the brush.
04:17Before we can put the spare on, they'll be halfway to town.
04:19Well, change it as quick as you can.
04:20Pick me up at the drugstore.
04:21I've got to report to the Eagle.
04:24What do those fellows mean by coming here and creating a disturbance?
04:27Boy, what a sock in the jaw I got.
04:29Sure, we'll have a fight while it lasts.
04:30I don't think it was.
04:32One of the men didn't get away.
04:33He must still be in that room.
04:35Let's find out.
04:36Okay, let's look.
05:01In another minute, we'd have been too late to revive him.
05:03Get me a wet claw.
05:13You needn't bother anymore.
05:14I'll take charge of him.
05:18We're going to bring this fellow, too, and turn him over to the police.
05:20Oh, yeah?
05:33Go get the keys.
05:40Yeah, Gregory got away.
05:44But McCoy is still in the hospital.
05:51Yeah.
05:52Okay, boss.
05:53I got you.
06:03The boss has got a great idea, but we've got to get a hold of a leather coat somewhere.
06:07What's the matter with the one on the back of the car there?
06:13McCoy's own flying tog.
06:16What could be sweeter?
06:18Back to the hospital, quick.
06:19Beep.
06:20Just a minute, big boy.
06:22Just a minute, big boy.
06:44You're going in the wrong direction.
06:45Take him out the car at the curb.
06:46And don't think that you're going to be here.
06:49Take him out the car at the curb.
06:51And don't think I'm kidding.
06:55One of these days, I make you eat that top gun.
07:19I'll be right back to the flying field while I get McCoy ready.
07:42Hi, Skipper.
07:50We stole a couple of minutes between acts just to sneak in and say,
07:54Howdy.
08:01Gee, it's good to have you back with us again, Mr. Gregory.
08:04And it's good to be back again too, Billy.
08:10But I'm worried about Craig.
08:12Why doesn't he come back?
08:14You don't even worry about him as long as he has that human Derek with him.
08:19Well, what happened?
08:21Where's Craig?
08:22They got him away from me.
08:23Why, what are you doing, you big palooka?
08:26Picking feathers off a duck?
08:29See, you quit picking on me.
08:31I did my best I could.
08:34But they had a gun on me.
08:36Ah!
08:37You're still a big palooka.
08:40That settles it.
08:41None of you are safe as long as the eagle continues his attacks on me.
08:46Daddy, what can we do?
08:47There's only one thing to do.
08:49Give myself up to the police.
08:50The police?
08:51Why, Skipper, they'll arrest you for the eagle's crimes.
08:53I know.
08:54But if they have me in jail and the crimes continue, it will prove my innocence.
08:58Your father is right, Gene.
08:59It'll not only prove his innocence, but he'll be safe from his enemies.
09:02When do you think you're on doing it?
09:03There's no use putting it off.
09:04I'll do it.
09:05I'll do it.
09:06I'll do it.
09:07I'll do it.
09:08I'll do it.
09:09I'll do it.
09:10I'll do it.
09:11I'll do it.
09:12I'll do it.
09:13I'll do it.
09:14I'll do it.
09:15I'll do it.
09:16I'll do it.
09:17I'll do it.
09:18I'll do it.
09:19I'll do it.
09:20Your father is right, Gene.
09:21It'll not only prove his innocence, but he'll be safe from his enemies.
09:23When do you think you're on doing it?
09:25There's no use putting it off.
09:26Arrest him.
09:34I got a warrant for your arrest, Gregory.
09:37You're not so smart.
09:38Mr. Gregory was on his way to jail.
09:40Where would he be safe from you, Bird?
09:42That's a pretty thin story.
09:43But it's true.
09:44What?
09:45Give yourself up with all the eagles' crimes against you?
09:49My father is not the eagle.
09:51And no one knows it better than you.
09:53What do you mean by that?
09:54What do you think she means, you lame brain?
09:56Ah, cut out the round.
09:58If Mr. Gregory was on his way to the station,
10:01I don't guess he's got any objections to going along with us.
10:10We are not sure.
10:16So you think I'm the eagle, do you?
10:18Then how do you explain that skyrocket?
10:21Another message from the eagle.
10:23Standing.
10:24Look.
10:25Look, he has written your name.
10:28And now he's drawing a line through it.
10:31It means I'm a marked man.
10:33And it also proves that Mr. Gregory is not the eagle.
10:37Nothing of the sort.
10:38It means that somebody's doing the writing for him.
10:41Probably young McCoy.
10:43Look, the plane's in trouble.
10:45He's going to make a forced landing.
10:50I'm going to see who's in that plane.
10:52You take charge of the prisoner, gentlemen.
10:55Yes, and we'll stay and see that you don't get rough with him.
11:08He's making his landing all right.
11:10Yeah.
11:12Here comes the police car.
11:13Everything is working out. It's figured.
11:25There's another car ahead of us. What does it mean?
11:40There's another car ahead of us. What does it mean?
11:43There's another car ahead of us. What does it mean?
11:47There's another car ahead of us.
11:48Very, very, very experienced.
11:49Pirate of us.
11:50What do you say?
11:51There's another car?
11:52What do you say?
11:53What does that mean?
11:54What does it mean?
11:55Come and lean.
11:56What does it mean?
11:57He's gone.
12:00Untie his hands.
12:06I hear something for him to find when they search him.
12:23I hear something for him to find when they search him.
12:27Oh, my God.
12:34Hold it.
12:38Sure was a close call.
12:40Ten seconds late, and he got away from us.
12:42Craig, you, the sky rider.
12:46That's not true, Gene. I wasn't in that plane.
12:49The whole thing's a frame-up.
12:51Keep quiet.
12:53How did you two men happen to be on the plane?
12:55Why, we're a couple of private detectives working on the case of the airplane company.
12:59It's a lie. He's working for the Eagle.
13:01Looks to me like you're working for the Eagle.
13:03We'll find out more about this when we get back to the carnival grounds.
13:06Can you drive my car?
13:07Yes.
13:08You two men stay here with the plane. Come on.
13:10Come on.
13:25Hello, Mr. Green. I've been looking for you.
13:30How did you know I was here?
13:32I phoned the office, and Mr. Ward told me.
13:35I've made some important discoveries.
13:38I see you've got the Eagle.
13:41And I've got clues that lead to McCoy as his aide.
13:44The fellow who's been writing his, uh, messages into the sky.
13:47What have you got to say about that, Gregory?
13:49I am not interested in the stupid lies of your paid thugs.
13:52What's that?
13:53You heard what he said.
13:55So you caught the sky writer.
13:57Red handed, just as he was trying to make his getaway from the plane.
14:00Did you find anything on him that shows he's working with Gregory?
14:02You know he didn't.
14:03You frame me, but you can't drag Mr. Gregory into this.
14:06I'm not so sh... I haven't searched you yet.
14:10Did you find anything on him that shows he's working with Gregory?
14:12You know he didn't.
14:13You frame me, but you can't drag Mr. Gregory into this.
14:15I'm not so sh...
14:16I haven't searched you yet.
14:20You're not sure.
14:21I'm not sure.
14:22I'm not sure.
14:23I've searched you yet.
14:33Stand by.
14:34When the directors reach the carnival grounds, write Danby, and draw a line through it.
14:40Gee.
14:41I suppose it's useless to deny writing that.
14:44Certainly, it's useless to deny anything.
14:46They framed their plot too well.
14:48You can arrest me, but not till after I've told my friends the truth.
14:52The frame-up was perfect.
14:54They planted these flying togs on me,
14:56planted the forged note in my pocket,
14:58and planted one thing more on me
15:00that you haven't found yet.
15:02One thing that I can use against you.
15:04They planted this.
15:06We don't stand a chance, Mr. Gregory.
15:08Make a run for us.
15:10Make a run for us.
15:12Drop that gun.
15:14Gene.
15:16Drop it.
15:18Hold him.
15:20You talk of frame-ups,
15:22after what you've done to my father.
15:24You used that skywriting in your own crooked game.
15:26You planted that note to make it appear
15:28that you were only an agent of my father.
15:30Then you urge him to flee,
15:32branding him,
15:34your best friend,
15:36as guilty.
15:38We'll see that he gets what he deserves.
15:40Stand where you are.
15:42We carnival people have our own way
15:44of dealing with traitors.
15:46Take him.
15:48And peg him out.
15:50Peg him out?
15:52Gene, you don't mean...
15:53You know what I mean.
15:54It's a trick,
15:55to get him away from us.
15:56You think it's a trick, do you?
15:58Well, see for yourselves.
16:01Take him outside.
16:18I can't stand in trouble.
16:23Bring him out.
16:39We may be mistaken, Gene.
16:41Hadn't we better stop them,
16:42before it's too late.
16:43Stop them before it's too late.
16:45He's guilty.
16:46Let them peg him up.
17:13Gene! Gene!
17:15I swear I'm not guilty.
