06:20Get the bill of sale.

06:21It's in the wastebasket.

06:22Wait.

06:23Whoever put it in there will be back together.

06:25Now is our chance to find out who's at the bottom of all this trouble.

06:55Don't move.

07:00I've got you covered.

07:02I knew the guilty man had come back for that paper.

07:05So you're behind all this, are you, Major Evans?

07:08No.

07:09You're all wrong.

07:10I knew the bill of sale was hidden in the basket.

07:13And I...

07:14I came back here for the same reason you did.

07:16To catch the thief when he returned.

07:18Then why were you reaching into the waste paper basket?

07:21Well, I just wanted to be sure.

07:23Look!

07:24The wastebasket!

07:32Wait a minute.

07:33I know who got it.

07:34It was Green.

07:35I recognized the ring on his finger.

07:37Oh, that clears you.

07:38Yes, but they'll never believe it until you get the bill of sale back.

07:44The police.

07:45I'll have to make a run for it.

07:46But I have a plan to get that bill of sale back.

07:48Now listen.

07:49This gives us two chances.

07:51If the first one fails, I'll be there to make my play.

07:52And we're bound to win.

07:53Get your butt in the car and get the motor running.

07:54I'll be there.

07:55I'll be there.

08:19Get your butt in the car.

08:20Come on.

08:23Let's go ahead...

08:40I've got him.

08:41It's me who's got you, fool!

09:43Did you catch him?

09:45No.

09:46He got away in the car.

09:47Which way did he go?

09:48He went with Gregory and his daughter.

09:49You can catch him at the carnival.

09:50No lights.

09:51Well, that's funny.

09:52I thought sure the troop would keep the show going.

10:27Well, what's the matter?

10:28Why isn't the show going on?

10:29The show's closed, Skipper.

10:30This measly double-crosser has trapped an attachment on it.

10:34For the two, we have to pay your own.

10:35Mr. Gregory?

10:36Yes.

10:37Good night.

10:38Good night.

10:39You rat.

10:40Hey, Sheriff.

10:41You rat.

10:42Hey, Sheriff.

11:13Your hat.

11:14Give it to me.

11:16Wise guy.

11:20Oh!

11:21Never mind, Daddy.

11:22We'll get the show back somehow.

11:23But it's...

11:24It's all I had.

11:26No it isn't, Mr. Gregory.

11:36You're still an inventor of an airplane attachment that's making a fortune.

11:41Yes.

11:42For the directors of the Evans Airplane Company.

11:46Yes.

11:47But Major Evans is on our side now.

11:52Yes, but Major Evans is on our side now.

11:56What good does that do?

11:57Plenty.

11:58Green turned off those lights and snatched that bill of sale away from you because it's a forgery.

12:03And I'm going to prove that to Major Evans.

12:05But what good does that do, Father?

12:07Well, when Major Evans knows that Green's claim is a fake,

12:11he'll recognize your father's rights and give him a square deal.

12:14You could buy a dozen carnivals then, Dad.

12:22I'm leaving in a minute to go after that bill of sale.

12:25And I think, with your help, we can get it.

12:28You can always count on me, brother.

12:30Sure.

12:31Well, now, here's what we'll do.

12:34Well, Skipper, I think our troubles are about over.

12:37Well, Skipper, I think our troubles are about over.

12:40You can always count on me, brother.

12:42Sure.

12:43Well, now, here's what we'll do.

12:49Well, Skipper, I think our troubles are about over.

12:51Come on, Henry.

13:21I'm glad you've come.

13:23I'm tired of running from the law.

13:26The directors have withdrawn their charges against you, Gregory.

13:29It's Craig McCoy we want.

13:31He's not here.

13:33Okay, but he's on his way here, and we'll wait till he comes.

13:51Major Evans, to see you, sir.

13:52Major Evans, to see you, sir.

13:53Major Evans, to see you, sir.

13:58Major Evans, to see you, sir.

13:59Major Evans, to see you, sir.

14:05Have you got the bill of sale, Green?

14:11Major Evans to see you, sir.

14:22Have you got the bill of sale, Green?

14:24Why, what makes you think that...

14:26Oh, come on, don't stall. We've got to work fast.

14:29Gregory and his gang are on their way here to get it right now.

14:41We'd be crazy to take that out of there.

14:43They'll never know where to look for the safe.

14:45They'll ransack the whole house.

14:47Don't take any chances.

14:53McCoy!

14:55Housebreaking, huh?

14:57Phone the police, Major.

14:59The line's dead. Somebody's cut the wire.

15:17Oh, yeah.

15:18Why did you come sneaking into my house?

15:19To get the bill of sale.

15:21I see.

15:23And how did you plan to get that bill of sale?

15:25No, I can't.
