00:00Ropes Pierre's fast asleep. Now let's speak in.
00:03Snooks!
00:04What are you doing with your light on?
00:05I'm... I'm looking for my ball, Daddy.
00:10Ball? What ball?
00:12The one I lost on the porch.
00:18If you lost your ball on the porch, why are you looking for it here?
00:22There's more light here.
00:28Snooks, what's the matter with you?
00:30It's way past your bedtime.
00:31Well, I can't sleep.
00:33The chicken hurts my tummy.
00:36Chicken?
00:37You didn't have chicken for dinner tonight.
00:40No, I mean the chicken in my bed.
00:44What's the matter with you?
00:45There's no chicken in your bed.
00:48Ain't that?
00:50Of course not.
00:52Well, I can feel them.
00:53Oh, nonsense.
00:54It's just your imagination.
00:56Now go to sleep.
00:57Oh, my daddy.
00:59Daddy!
01:00What?
01:00My imagination just laid an egg.
01:05Good heavens!
01:07You have got a chicken in there.
01:08I got an egg, too.
01:10Look at this.
01:11Where did that come from?
01:13From the chicken.
01:15I know that, but how do you happen to have this...
01:18this livestock in bed with you?
01:20I'm hiding it for red, Daddy.
01:22He stole it.
01:24Red?
01:25Why does that little roughneck make you cover up his crimes?
01:28I don't know.
01:28If he stole the chicken, why do you hide it?
01:31Of course.
01:32He's hiding the one I stole.
01:34Now, what is all this chicken stealing?
01:38Who started it and where did you get them?
01:40Tell him, Red.
01:42No, you tell him, Snook.
01:44Come on!
01:44Come on to that bed!
01:45Hello, Mr. Higgins.
01:49Yeah, hello, Mr. Higgins.
01:50This is definitely the last straw.
01:53What are you doing here?
01:54Well, I...
01:55Take those chickens and leave this house at once.
01:57Yes, sir.
01:58Don't send him away, Daddy.
02:00He ain't got no place to sleep.
02:02I don't care if...
02:04What do you mean?
02:05Can't he go to his own bed?
02:07No, Daddy.
02:09Oh.
02:10Oh, I...
02:12I didn't know.
02:13So you have no place to sleep, eh, Red?
02:16No, sir.
02:17My bed's full of chickens.
02:21I don't understand this whole chicken business.
02:24How many have you got?
02:25Twenty-six.
02:26Yeah, and they all lay eggs.
02:29Don't they, Red?
02:31Uh-huh.
02:31And I got a rooster, too.
02:33A rooster?
02:34Yeah.
02:35He's the bookkeeper.
02:40But where did you get them all?
02:43It is impossible you stole so many.
02:46It's possible, Daddy.
02:48Now, you keep quiet.
02:50How did you manage to steal that many chickens, Red?
02:53Well, I can't tell you, Mr. Higgins.
02:55Why not?
02:55It's a trade secret.
02:57Yeah.
02:57This is incredible.
02:59Mm-hmm.
03:00How long have you been engaged in this nefarious traffic?
03:03Huh?
03:05When did you start this foul swiping?
03:08Oh, I've been doing it for years.
03:10Yeah.
03:11He started when he was only a kid.
03:15Kid?
03:15Yeah.
03:16How old are you now, Red?
03:18Nine.
03:19Mm-hmm.
03:19Now, that's enough.
03:20Go home at once, young man.
03:22Take your chickens with you, and don't come around here anymore.
03:24Yes, sir.
03:25Goodbye, smugs.
03:27Goodbye, Red.
03:28He's another age.
03:30You can have it.
03:31Goodbye.
03:32Never heard of such goings-on.
03:34Lucky for you, I'm busy tonight.
03:36But I'll take this matter up with you again in the morning.
03:38Good night.
03:39Good night, Daddy.
03:40Daddy!
03:41What is it?
03:42Where are you going?
03:43I'm going down to my lab to make synthetic rubber.
03:46And you're not going to watch.
03:47You understand?
03:49Yes, Daddy.
03:50Go right to sleep.
03:51Mm-hmm.
03:51Good night.
03:52Can't understand these kids.
03:54Always up to the sun.
03:57Hey, Red.
03:59Is he gone?
04:00Yeah.
04:01What'd you do with the chicken?
04:02I stuck him under an orange crate in the cellar.
04:05To sell us?
04:06Yeah, your old man won't find him.
04:10That's his lab.
04:12What is?
04:13The cellar.
04:15I think he's cooking rubber down there.
04:19Cooking rubber?
04:20Yeah.
04:21Oh, and I thought it was the chicken.
04:26It smells awful, don't it?
04:28Yeah.
04:29What's he cooking rubber for?
04:31Is he nuts?
04:32Yeah, I think so.
04:33You know what?
04:36What?
04:37He eats it.
04:41Yeah?
04:42Mm-hmm.
04:43Let's go down and watch him.
04:45Okay.
04:46But don't make any noise.
04:48Now, be quiet.
04:49Now, hang on to my hand.
04:51I've got it.
04:51It's dark, isn't it?
04:53Let me open the cellar door.
04:55Be careful now.
04:57There's a lot of steps.
04:58I know where the cellar...
04:59Oh!
05:02What's that?
05:03Hello, Daddy.
05:07I fell down the steps.
05:09Me too.
05:10What are you doing back here?
05:12I came to get my chickens.
05:14Chickens?
05:14More chickens!
05:16Can't you let a man work in peace?
05:18What are you cooking in that pot, Daddy?
05:20I'm developing a formula for synthetic rubber.
05:22Yeah?
05:23See that mixture?
05:24Mm-hmm.
05:24I'm going to pour it in a form.
05:26And when it cools off, I'll have a balloon tire.
05:30Does balloons have tires?
05:31Nobody has tires.
05:35That's why I make tires.
05:42I'm making rubber out of rags, paper, soybeans, peanuts, and arrowroot.
05:48See?
05:49I told you he was smart, didn't I, Ray?
05:53Yeah.
05:53He sure did.
05:55Oh, I know what I'm doing, all right.
05:57A lot of people might think I'm crazy.
05:59Yeah, a lot of them.
06:01But wait till they see this.
06:03I know which way the wind is blowing.
06:05I wish it was blowing the other way.
06:07Now, listen, Red.
06:09If you want to help me, go out and see if you can gather some old rubber.
06:13Hot water bottles, rubber boots, any old stuff with rubber in it.
06:16Okay.
06:17I'll bring you a load, Mr. Higgins.
06:18Good.
06:20And, Snook, you stir this pot while I make some chemicals.
06:22All right, Daddy.
06:26Daddy?
06:27Yes?
06:28What's these two big lumps in the pot?
06:32Lumps?
06:33Oh, probably becoming elastic.
06:35Keep stirring.
06:35Has rubber got feathers in it?
06:40Of course not.
06:42Will you look under the orange, correct, Daddy?
06:45What, this one?
06:46Yeah.
06:48Is there anything there?
06:50Why, no.
06:51Oh.
06:52Are you sure you didn't put feathers in this pot?
06:55Certainly I'm sure.
06:56I know what I've got in that pot.
06:58Me too, Daddy.
07:00Now, look out.
07:02I want to pour this in.
07:03A little melted celluloid and some apple peelings.
07:08When red comes with the rubber, we'll put that in too.
07:12Yeah.
07:13I got a big load, Mr. Higgins.
07:14Did you?
07:15Here.
07:16Oh, fine.
07:17This is going to mean the end of my tire worries, kids.
07:20Dump it in the pot, then.
07:21Yes, sir.
07:22Where'd you get all this rubber?
07:24From your car.
07:25My car?
07:29Yeah.
07:30I cut up your spare tire.
07:32Oh, I'm a cook.
07:34Show it a tip, Daddy.
07:36Stop running, Red.
07:37Out of my way.
07:38You can't run.
07:39All of my way.
07:53You can trust me.
