00:01:30Just a moment, Daddy.
00:01:32Joe, you've made your decision, have you?
00:01:34Well, yes, Dad.
00:01:36I couldn't stick around here any longer under the present circumstances.
00:01:39Besides, I figure we owe the Canadians a helping hand.
00:01:42But we're not involved in this war at present.
00:01:44We will be. I've taken that into consideration.
00:01:47You always have more consideration for strangers
00:01:50than you have for me or your mother.
00:01:52I wish you wouldn't continue to call her my mother.
00:01:54But her marriage to me makes her your mother.
00:01:57Well, let's forget it, Dad.
00:01:59I dropped your name when I invented it.
00:02:01Gary! Gary! Gary! Gary! Gary!
00:02:07Why, Mickey, what's wrong?
00:02:11The lightning! Gary, I'm scared!
00:02:15Go on, tell me. I have a brother who's afraid of a little storm.
00:02:18I am!
00:02:20Here, I'm going to tell you all about the lightning.
00:02:23Once there was a beautiful princess of the sky
00:02:26who was killed by a cruel god named Thormund.
00:02:29Yes, and then what?
00:02:31Well, there was a brave knight who loved the princess.
00:02:33So he went into the sky and asked Juno to help him.
00:02:36Who won?
00:02:37Juno made him knight of the flaming sword
00:02:40and gave him a thousand horsemen to help him
00:02:42get the wicked god out of the sky.
00:02:45So you see, Mickey, there's nothing to be afraid of.
00:02:48Whenever you see the lightning, just think of yourself as the flaming sword.
00:02:52Thunder is the host of a thousand horsemen
00:02:55driving the cruel god from the sky.
00:02:59Golly, that's a good story.
00:03:01He's a brave guy.
00:03:03And so are you.
00:03:06Thanks.
00:03:08And now we're going to take off to bed.
00:03:11The propeller's broken.
00:03:13If that would have been a real crash,
00:03:15the guy in it would have been killed.
00:03:17I'm afraid he would, Mickey.
00:03:18That does happen.
00:03:20They're brave, like that knight who was telling me about.
00:03:23Yes, it does happen, and they are brave.
00:03:25Would you like to hear the aviator's favorite toast?
00:03:28Sure.
00:03:31Here's to the roaring motors
00:03:33and planes in the shell-torn skies.
00:03:36Here's to the men gone west today.
00:03:39And here's to the next man to die.
00:03:41That's a good toast.
00:03:43Will you learn it to me?
00:03:44Well, I will when I get back.
00:03:45You're going somewhere?
00:03:47Well, just for a little while.
00:03:49Mama's gone.
00:03:50Now you're going.
00:03:51But you have a new mother.
00:03:53But she ain't my real mother.
00:03:55I know, Mickey, but she loves you.
00:03:58And I want you to promise me one thing.
00:04:00You'll always do just what she tells you to.
00:04:02I promise you.
00:04:04Because we're pals.
00:04:08All right, time to go to bed now.
00:04:10Oh, no, no.
00:04:12Stay here until I go to sleep.
00:04:14Now, you must go to bed.
00:04:16No, no, stay here, please.
00:04:18Stay here.
00:04:20Please.
00:04:37Stay here.
00:05:08Listen, I'm telling you, those new motors are turning out.
00:05:10And the DTs, they're terrible.
00:05:12Well, Mickey Broom, you assume me a full-fledged flyer.
00:05:15I hope so, Sergeant Phelan.
00:05:17Well, you will if you listen to Captain Horton.
00:05:19Because he's one of the best flyers we have in the service.
00:05:21Well, that is except you, Sergeant Phelan.
00:05:23Now, you know, that's true.
00:05:25I remember the time when planes was first invented.
00:05:27Yeah.
00:05:28Wilbur Wright came to me and said he'd leave.
00:05:30Of course, you invented it.
00:05:31Well, I did.
00:05:32I invented it.
00:05:34Wilbur Wright came to me and said he'd leave.
00:05:36Of course, you invented it.
00:05:38Well, no.
00:05:39But I helped him.
00:05:42Attention!
00:05:49Good morning, men.
00:05:50Good morning, sir.
00:05:58The grades of your final meteorology examination will be posted after class.
00:06:03This is your last day in ground school.
00:06:06It's my last day with you.
00:06:09Mr. Broom.
00:06:10Mr. Michael Broom.
00:06:12Yes, sir.
00:06:15Would you tell us what you think of the weather today?
00:06:18It looks pretty bad, sir.
00:06:20Bad?
00:06:21Is that all this course has taught you?
00:06:23Whether it's rather good or bad?
00:06:26We should be able to determine accurately what to expect from the elements.
00:06:30But unfortunately, no matter how careful a student is, he might sometimes be caught.
00:06:35For example, electrical storms often occur without warning.
00:06:39In which case, you have to rely on your judgment and experience.
00:06:44Now, I might add that the 150 young men of your class who have been eliminated from training
00:06:52are unfortunately found to lack the essentials required like an army flyer.
00:06:58But that's no discredit to them.
00:07:00Remember that.
00:07:02And remember this.
00:07:04That you still have two weeks of intensive training on the field before you take your final test.
00:07:11But I'm proud of you all.
00:07:13And I hope you'll win your wings and cherish them.
00:07:17And never forget that you're officers and gentlemen.
00:07:22Happy landing.
00:07:24That's all.
00:07:29Well, it won't be long now, Mickey.
00:07:31Horton is a great guy, Cecil.
00:07:33And we won't let him down.
00:07:34No.
00:07:37Remember, Michael Broon?
00:07:39You are now an officer and a gentleman.
00:09:56Let's shoot, sir.
00:10:00Congratulations.
00:10:03Cadet Dunbar, sir.
00:10:09Congratulations.
00:10:18Cecil Dunbar, you are now an officer and a gentleman.
00:10:23Happy landing.
00:10:25Oh, snap out of it, Mickey.
00:10:28You had a tough break, but listen to the...
00:10:30Go on, out with it.
00:10:31Tell me how sorry you are.
00:10:32Regrets.
00:10:33Condolences.
00:10:34What are you waiting for?
00:10:36You're letting it get you, huh?
00:10:38What do you think?
00:10:40You're lucky to get out of it.
00:10:42You're just saying that to make me feel good.
00:10:44For years I've made up my mind to wear those wings.
00:10:46And ten days before I'd get them, I'm washed out.
00:10:49The instructor said I was flying mechanically, but I was flying, wasn't I?
00:10:53Oh, sure you were.
00:10:55You're a good flyer.
00:10:57The best I know.
00:11:00Hey, listen, you haven't forgotten your promise, have you?
00:11:02What promise?
00:11:03About going to the party at the club tonight.
00:11:06You know, the one that Raoul is giving for his sister Molly.
00:11:16I wouldn't take it too hard, young fellow.
00:11:18At least you're out of the service with a whole body.
00:11:21Which is better luck than I had.
00:11:23Well, it's sporting of you to say that, Maguire, but...
00:11:26I can't see it that way.
00:11:28I've lost my privilege of serving in the Air Corps.
00:11:31Sure, that's a tough break, too.
00:11:33Sort of breaks your heart.
00:11:35But let me tell you, Brun,
00:11:37that between a broken hip and a broken heart,
00:11:41you choose the latter.
00:11:43It doesn't last so long.
00:11:45You must have had many experiences during the war.
00:11:47I wish you'd tell me about them.
00:11:49One subject I don't care to discuss.
00:11:54Oh, Mr. Brun.
00:11:56Pardon me, sir.
00:12:00He had a terrible crack-up during the war.
00:12:02Any reference to it upsets him.
00:12:04I understand.
00:12:08Important news from the ranch.
00:12:10I've got to get there right away.
00:12:12You stay here in San Antonio until I send for you.
00:12:21Will you forgive me, Jo, if I run along?
00:12:23Important business.
00:12:25Of course, if you must go.
00:12:27I'll leave my sister in your care.
00:12:29Don't worry, I'll take good care of her.
00:12:31Good night, folks.
00:12:32Good night.
00:12:33Good night, Rose.
00:12:35Well, you sorry you came, Mickey?
00:12:37Well, of course not.
00:12:39If you'll pardon us, I have something to say to Mr. Brun.
00:12:42Sure.
00:12:46What is it, Miss McGuire?
00:12:48Trouble?
00:12:49May I help?
00:12:50No, I'm afraid not.
00:12:52Michael.
00:12:53May I call you Michael?
00:12:55I wish you would.
00:12:56Or Mickey.
00:12:57Well, Mickey, then.
00:12:58Will you tell me about your brother who was killed in the war?
00:13:01Trouble is, we never heard anything definite.
00:13:04Dad never believed he was dead.
00:13:06All he ever told me was that he disappeared.
00:13:09I was only a kid then, but I worshipped him.
00:13:12You know, kid stuff.
00:13:14I know.
00:13:15I bet he was a great pal.
00:13:17That's why I was in the Air Corps.
00:13:19He was a great flyer.
00:13:22I can see him fighting a dozen ships single-handed.
00:13:26And if he's dead, I know that his spirit is maybe riding the skies alone.
00:13:34That's why I wanted to carry on.
00:13:38You think that's a strange fancy?
00:13:40I think it's beautiful.
00:13:42I think it's beautiful.
00:13:43And somehow, I know you'll make good.
00:13:47Mickey, I need someone to play brave knight for me.
00:13:51I'm worried about Raoul.
00:13:53He's become mixed up in something illegal.
00:13:56Criminal, I'm afraid.
00:13:57Well, what do you mean, Molly?
00:13:59I don't know, really.
00:14:01But something strange is going on at our ranch.
00:14:03Raoul has brought a number of hard-looking men to the place.
00:14:06One of them, Moran.
00:14:08I'm sure he's a criminal.
00:14:10Has your brother told you about it?
00:14:12No.
00:14:13Obviously, he's trying to keep me here so I won't find out anything.
00:14:17Now the telephone.
00:14:19I've just got to get back.
00:14:22Well, I'm a pretty poor excuse for a brave knight,
00:14:25but I'm sure you're a princess.
00:14:28Would you like me to drive you?
00:14:30Would you?
00:14:31It's 300 miles, you know.
00:14:33When do we start?
00:14:35Right away.
00:14:40Good morning, Molly.
00:14:42Good morning, Mickey.
00:14:45Where are we?
00:14:46Oh, just a few miles from our destination.
00:14:49Then I must have been sleeping for hours.
00:14:55Say, Molly, your brother has a Spanish name.
00:14:59I don't know what that means.
00:15:01I don't know what that means.
00:15:03I don't know what that means.
00:15:05I don't know what that means.
00:15:07Say, Molly, your brother has a Spanish name and you have a...
00:15:11Well, we're quite Spanish.
00:15:13Then your name should be Dolores.
00:15:15Well, my mother was Spanish and my father was Irish.
00:15:18You know how the Irish fight.
00:15:20I look like my mother.
00:15:22And fight like your father?
00:15:24If I think I'm right, I do.
00:15:26Will you fight if I call you Dolores?
00:15:29Then you don't care for Molly?
00:15:32Oh, yes.
00:15:34I care very much for a certain princess.
00:15:37I'll get off at home.
00:15:39We live on this road about ten miles out of town.
00:15:42I'll call you at Cecil's as soon as possible.
00:15:46You will trust me, won't you?
00:15:48Always.
00:15:51Well, we'll soon be there.
00:16:05Hello, Bob. Hello, Jack.
00:16:07Good morning, Miss McGuire.
00:16:09Has my brother passed yet?
00:16:11About two hours ago.
00:16:13Thanks.
00:16:17Hello.
00:16:23His telephone. It was all right a moment ago and now it's gone dead.
00:16:27I don't know what's the matter, senorita.
00:16:30If you're trying to get a connection, you won't have any luck.
00:16:34I just had the wire.
00:16:44What are you doing here?
00:16:46Well, I'm not a child. This is my house as much as yours.
00:16:50Why did you come back?
00:16:52Because I realized that something's going to happen.
00:16:55Why did you come back?
00:16:57Because I realized that something's going to happen.
00:17:01And just what is going to happen?
00:17:04That's what I intend to find out.
00:17:12You're being childish.
00:17:16Don't think I've been blind to your bringing this gang here.
00:17:20And all the secrets.
00:17:22I tell you, Molly, you're letting your imagination run away with you.
00:17:26There's nothing to fear.
00:17:28Then why did you cut the telephone wire?
00:17:31To prevent you from doing something foolish.
00:17:34Now...
00:17:36who were you calling?
00:17:38If you refuse to be confident of me, I must pretend the compliment.
00:17:42Very well.
00:17:44Supposing I tell you that the thing that you fear may come true
00:17:48and place me in grave danger.
00:17:50Then you have been lying.
00:17:52Why don't you admit it?
00:17:54I'm admitting nothing.
00:18:08Listen, Molly.
00:18:10It will soon be all finished.
00:18:12Then everything will be all right.
00:18:15Now...
00:18:17why did you phone?
00:18:19To warn someone.
00:18:21Warn someone? Who?
00:18:23Michael Broome.
00:18:25Oh. Oh, yes.
00:18:27The cadet.
00:18:28I had forgotten about him.
00:18:30Is he coming?
00:18:32He was coming.
00:18:34Oh, I see.
00:18:35You cancelled the engagement.
00:18:38I won't involve an innocent man.
00:18:41Splendid.
00:18:42But remember...
00:18:44no one must come here until...
00:18:47afterwards.
00:18:49Until after.
00:18:51I understand.
00:18:53Insensible girl.
00:18:56I must see Jim Lofton at once.
00:18:59That's Jim Lofton's plane, isn't it?
00:19:18Where has he been?
00:19:20Just making a test flight.
00:19:21Department of Commerce Air Regulations, my dear.
00:19:24They're examining the plane today.
00:19:26Indeed.
00:19:28Will you have them serve breakfast?
00:19:30Jim and I will be in shortly.
00:19:32Very well.
00:19:45Well...
00:19:46tonight it's do or die.
00:19:47I'll just give another final check-up.
00:19:49Careful, Jim.
00:19:52Look here, Raoul.
00:19:54Why don't you get out of this crooked game while you still have time?
00:19:57Why don't you?
00:19:58Well, things are different with me.
00:19:59I'm on my own.
00:20:00There's no one depending on me.
00:20:02No one cares a continental whether I'm straight or not.
00:20:05But you've got Molly to look out for.
00:20:06Oh, that's just it.
00:20:08This ranch has been owned by Maguires for generations.
00:20:11It's all that Molly and I have left.
00:20:13I've got to save it for her.
00:20:15You mean you're really dead broke?
00:20:18Financially, physically and morally, I guess.
00:20:21Look here, Jim.
00:20:23If that's to me...
00:20:24you'll look out for Molly.
00:20:26You know I will.
00:20:28The least I can do to repay...
00:20:29Don't say that, Jim.
00:20:31What happened in France doesn't matter now.
00:20:34Well, it does with me.
00:20:36Otherwise...
00:20:37Otherwise you'd quit, eh?
00:20:38No.
00:20:40I mean to get both you and Molly out of this mess.
00:20:44By the way, you haven't yet told me who this mysterious Mr. Jones is.
00:20:48Curious, eh?
00:20:50Well, it's still plain Mr. Jones.
00:20:57Morning, Chief.
00:20:58Hello, Broome.
00:20:59Have you seen the morning papers yet?
00:21:01No, not yet.
00:21:02I just took them from the ranch when Baxter took me off.
00:21:04He wanted to see me.
00:21:06Sit down.
00:21:10Well, all of the big oil companies are demanding a grand jury investigation.
00:21:16They want to know why the interstate shipment of hot oils isn't stopped.
00:21:20They claim that millions of barrels of oil are being tapped at the border every day.
00:21:24And it's up to us to arrest the racketeers.
00:21:27We will.
00:21:29And you have a lead.
00:21:30My hunch was...
00:21:32Yes, the racketeers are working for McGuire's ranch.
00:21:35Moran, eh?
00:21:38Is McGuire involved?
00:21:40I'm afraid so.
00:21:42The man makes it tough for you.
00:21:45He was a buddy of yours, I understand.
00:21:47Yes, we met in France during the war.
00:21:50We both belonged to the Flying Corps.
00:21:51One evening during the dawn patrol, he cracked his ship trying to save me from certain death.
00:21:56I'm afraid his injuries left him mentally ill.
00:22:00Well, would you like for me to assign someone else to the case?
00:22:03Oh, no, I...
00:22:04I appreciate your thought, however, but I'd rather go through with it.
00:22:08There's still a chance I might be wrong.
00:22:11And if you're right?
00:22:14I'll arrest McGuire.
00:22:17One thing is certain, Chief.
00:22:19Moran and McGuire are working under orders of one man known only as Jones.
00:22:24Jones.
00:22:25What an uncommon name, eh?
00:22:29Does McGuire know you're in the Federal Service?
00:22:32No.
00:22:33He doesn't even know my real name.
00:22:35I joined up with the Canadians under my mother's name of Lofton.
00:22:39For family reasons and so forth.
00:22:41All right, Jerry, that's your business.
00:22:43As a matter of fact, actually, McGuire's working as my aide.
00:22:47How?
00:22:48When he introduced me to this fellow Moran,
00:22:51a supplier wanting to pick up some easy money and vouch for me,
00:22:55Moran got Jones' okay.
00:22:58I'm now a member of the gang to all intents and purposes.
00:23:02When do you expect to get the break?
00:23:04Any day now.
00:23:06Moran got McGuire to allow the Army to hold their annual maneuvers on his ranch.
00:23:11What's the big idea?
00:23:14Well, my guess isn't wrong.
00:23:18Under the noise and confusion of the mimic warfare,
00:23:20they'll pull their last big job,
00:23:22use the plane ranch to make their getaway over the border.
00:23:26Moran thinks I still believe the planes are to be used as decoys
00:23:29to lure the border patrol on a wild goose chase,
00:23:32and I'm playing right into their hands.
00:23:34Well, what about McGuire's sister, Molly?
00:23:37She knows nothing about what's really going on.
00:23:40Anything else, Chief?
00:23:42No, I think that's all.
00:23:44I'll have Baxter keep in touch with you.
00:23:47Good luck, Jerry.
00:23:48Thank you, sir.
00:24:05Let's go.
00:24:18Give a million bucks to know who that guy really is.
00:24:22He's been getting away with this hot oil for months,
00:24:24and we haven't been able to pin it on anybody yet.
00:24:28Operator, give me the border patrol headquarters.
00:24:32Hello.
00:24:34Speaking.
00:24:35Laughlin had his plane up this morning.
00:24:37Be ready with yours.
00:24:38Something's going to break.
00:24:41Yeah, I'll keep in touch with you.
00:24:44You were right about that phone.
00:24:46That line's dead.
00:24:48All right.
00:24:49All right.
00:24:50You've made arrangements for the war maneuvers
00:24:52to take place on your ranch, huh?
00:24:54Yeah.
00:24:55All right.
00:24:56Now, we'll go over this thing once more
00:24:58so there won't be any slip-ups.
00:25:00When the barrage starts,
00:25:02we'll dynamite the company's line right here.
00:25:05Then we'll connect our line
00:25:07with the city's abandoned water main,
00:25:09open the valve, and load the ship's cargo there.
00:25:13Red Johnson is going to fly out with the dough,
00:25:15if you don't mind, Laughlin.
00:25:17Then you, occupied, will start up with your plane
00:25:20with the dummy cargo aboard.
00:25:22The authorities will probably think
00:25:24that it's dope and start up right up after you.
00:25:27Is that clear?
00:25:28Right.
00:25:29Now, let's not have any slip-ups in this.
00:25:43Cecil gave you my message?
00:25:45Yes, but the phone went dead before you finished.
00:25:47I figured something was wrong, and, well, here I am.
00:25:50Oh, I'm so glad, Mickey.
00:25:52My hunch was right about the telegram.
00:25:54There is something wrong.
00:25:56I'm only wondering if it's right to involve you.
00:25:59Raoul has forbidden any visitors to come on the ranch
00:26:01until it's all over.
00:26:02What's all over?
00:26:03Oh, I don't know, Mickey.
00:26:05I wish I did.
00:26:07Thank goodness this will soon be over.
00:26:10And by dawn, we'll be able to split
00:26:12a few hundred thousand amongst us
00:26:14while they're piping the oil aboard the ship.
00:26:16I'll keep the attention of the government men on me.
00:26:19All you have to do is to keep far enough ahead of them
00:26:21to keep out of the range of their guns.
00:26:23Well, judging from the bunch I just saw around the hangar
00:26:26who look like a small addition to the rogues' gallery,
00:26:28and the fact that they have a plane on the place,
00:26:30my guess is that their game is smuggling.
00:26:32But what could they be smuggling?
00:26:34Oh, might be liquor, maybe China drugs.
00:26:37Oh, you don't think that my brother's...
00:26:39Oh, no, not that, Molly. I'm sure of it.
00:26:41Thanks, Mickey.
00:26:43But those government men,
00:26:44we've got to do something before it's too late.
00:26:49We'll be stationed at the old fort
00:26:51adjacent to the McGuire Ranch.
00:26:53The Blue Army is in the adjoining woods.
00:26:55Maneuvers start sometime after sunset.
00:27:19Listen, Moran.
00:27:28You can see how this affects him.
00:27:30We can now.
00:27:32I've been trying to persuade him to go back to town.
00:27:34Oh, you have.
00:27:36Well, he's taken orders from Jones through me.
00:27:39And so are you.
00:27:41I don't see it that way.
00:27:42You don't? Well, see it this way, then.
00:27:45We need McGuire as our front.
00:27:47He'll do the soft-surfing to these government agents
00:27:49if they come nosing around here again.
00:27:51We need you because you're the best flyer we could get
00:27:55that would take the pay and keep his mouth shut.
00:27:57Jim said that you could do that.
00:28:00See that you do it.
00:28:05Well, the road will soon be jammed with soldiers
00:28:09and the ranch is going to be overrun with them.
00:28:13I gave them access to the ranch to get water and supplies.
00:28:18You know why.
00:28:19That's the idea.
00:28:20The more noise and confusion, the better.
00:28:23It'll cover our movements.
00:28:25I'll be glad when it's all over.
00:28:27You went into it with your eyes open?
00:28:29Yes.
00:28:30But I talked you into it.
00:28:32No one talked me into it.
00:28:33I need this boost desperately, but innocently enough.
00:28:38Now it's too late.
00:28:40It is too late.
00:28:41And no funny business?
00:28:42Moran, he followed your instructions, but here I am.
00:28:46Just how much do you know?
00:28:49That what he told me isn't true.
00:28:51Listen, once and for all,
00:28:53I do not intend to have you interfere in my business.
00:28:56And now that you are here,
00:28:58you're not going to leave without my permission.
00:29:01And I'm going to see that you don't.
00:29:04Paul.
00:29:08Why, Mr. Broome.
00:29:10Miss McGuire, I hope you'll pardon my unceremonious entrance,
00:29:13but, well, the spirit of battle being in the air,
00:29:15I couldn't resist the temptation to charge.
00:29:17You can cut out the kidding, Mr. Broome,
00:29:19but it happens to be mighty inconvenient for us to have guests just now.
00:29:24This is my home as much as yours.
00:29:26Michael is my guest.
00:29:28Thank you, Miss McGuire.
00:29:30Thank you, Miss McGuire.
00:29:31You must be tired after your long trip.
00:29:33I'll have Maria get you some refreshments.
00:29:36Maria.
00:29:39Bring some wine and some glasses.
00:29:41Si, senorita.
00:29:44Is that crater yours, undercover?
00:29:46I'm not a fool, Moran.
00:29:47You go on outside and talk to them in case they set that ship down.
00:29:50I'll get the men out of sight.
00:29:53Oh, Captain Loftin.
00:29:57Oh, Captain Loftin.
00:30:02I'm sorry, but in the excitement I forgot my manners.
00:30:05Nicky, this is Captain Loftin, Michael Broome.
00:30:07How do you do?
00:30:08Howdy.
00:30:13Will you join us, Captain?
00:30:14With pleasure.
00:30:16Will you join us, Captain?
00:30:17With pleasure.
00:30:27Nicky, give a toast.
00:30:29Oh, I'm not much good at it.
00:30:31Perhaps Captain Loftin.
00:30:33All right.
00:30:36Here's to the roaring motives and planes in the shell-torn skies.
00:30:41Here's to the men gone west today.
00:30:45And here's to the next man to die.
00:30:53Why you gave that toast?
00:30:55It was a favorite toast of my buddy.
00:30:57Hearing your name brought back memories.
00:30:59His name was Jerry Broome.
00:31:01We were in France together.
00:31:03What became of him?
00:31:05Shot down two days before the armistice.
00:31:08Poor fellow.
00:31:09You didn't know?
00:31:11Not positively.
00:31:12We just heard that he disappeared.
00:31:14And I've always hoped that...
00:31:15Oh, I'm sorry.
00:31:16I thought you knew.
00:31:20Have a drink?
00:31:23Isn't it strange?
00:31:24I seem to know you, and yet I can't explain why.
00:31:30I've got it.
00:31:31Your picture is in our day room.
00:31:33Yours and Lieutenant McGuire's.
00:31:35Oh.
00:31:37Sort of a rogues gallery, eh?
00:31:40The fellows call it our who's who.
00:31:42They're pictures of a lot of the men you must know.
00:31:44No doubt.
00:31:45I dare say things have changed a lot since my time.
00:31:48Oh, yes, sir.
00:31:49That is according to the old timers.
00:31:52Things do change sometimes.
00:31:54I've sort of lost track of time.
00:31:57People you know are at Children's Day and growing up tomorrow.
00:32:02You're in the flying service, aren't you?
00:32:05I was.
00:32:06I was.
00:32:07Got washed out in the final test.
00:32:09What?
00:32:10Because I was afraid of a storm.
00:32:13Afraid to trust a brave knight and his thousand horsemen.
00:32:17Oh, but you wouldn't understand about that.
00:32:20Perhaps I do.
00:32:23Oh, well, it doesn't matter so much now that he's dead.
00:32:27Gee, he was a great guy.
00:32:28That's why I wanted to carry on.
00:32:32Does Molly want you to quit?
00:32:35Molly?
00:32:37Yes, what?
00:32:40I believe I will have another drink.
00:32:43Oh, of course.
00:32:53Here you are, Mickey.
00:33:02Sit down.
00:33:05Just wait until you see the thugs we have around here.
00:33:08Am I included in your list of thugs, Miss McGuire?
00:33:11I know, Captain Lawson, that you fought side by side with my brother in the war.
00:33:16And that you're standing by him now in this trouble.
00:33:19Why don't you get him to give it up?
00:33:21Well, if you don't mind, I'd rather not discuss that now.
00:33:24Perhaps later.
00:33:34Funny world, Molly.
00:33:36Lawson was my brother's buddy, too.
00:33:39Yes, it's true.
00:33:41He said he was shot down.
00:33:43Dead.
00:33:49Is the phone fixed?
00:33:51Si, senor. Our phone is all fixed.
00:33:53We ought to be getting a message any time now. Where's Lawson?
00:33:56He was at the hangar.
00:33:58He asked for an extra dome of ammunition.
00:34:01He'll need it.
00:34:04What's the idea of coming in here?
00:34:06Miss McGuire has something to say that'll be worth hearing.
00:34:10All right, boys and girls, let's hear it.
00:34:13How would you like to have all this for yourself?
00:34:16All of what?
00:34:18All this smuggling business.
00:34:20You hear that, Fernando? We're smugglers now.
00:34:23Come on over to the house. I want your brother to hear this.
00:34:26No, you mustn't.
00:34:28My object in offering you this plan is to secure his safety.
00:34:31And that goes for Lawson, too.
00:34:32What, do you think I am crazy?
00:34:35We're not asking you to do this for nothing.
00:34:38But the senorita is making a big joke for us.
00:34:41No, I'm not joking, Fernando.
00:34:43I want every particle of contraband and equipment taken off this ranch tonight.
00:34:47You can have it all.
00:34:49I want Captain Lawson and my brother held captive here until it's all over.
00:34:54And you must promise that neither of them will be injured.
00:34:57It's a silly idea, and I don't like it.
00:35:00Wait, amigo. Maybe it is not so silly.
00:35:03I'd say it's still a silly idea, and I don't like it.
00:35:06If they mop it, we're going to be the goats. Dead ones.
00:35:10Perhaps the senorita does not wish anyone to know what she wants us to do.
00:35:14That's right, Fernando. No one but you and Moran.
00:35:17See?
00:35:19We'll think it over.
00:35:59Shit!
00:36:30Mr. Muro.
00:36:32What's the idea?
00:36:34Well, I tell Mr. Moran that Senor Lawson was going to shoot up Mr. Jones,
00:36:39and Mr. Moran does not like it.
00:36:41Send me that button to be done, I'm going to do it.
00:36:44Double-crossing.
00:36:46You heard me. We're going to take what's coming to us now.
00:36:49This is our game, Moran.
00:36:51And you're not thinking about it.
00:36:53I'm thinking about it.
00:36:54I'm going to do it.
00:37:04Oh, Mickey, I'm afraid he's dying.
00:37:06And it wouldn't have happened if it hadn't been for my silly plan.
00:37:12I'm going to do it.
00:37:14I'm going to do it.
00:37:16I'm going to do it.
00:37:18I'm going to do it.
00:37:20I'm going to do it.
00:37:22I'm going to do it.
00:37:24I'm going to do it.
00:37:50Oh, Mickey, do you think you'll pull through?
00:37:52Dr. Clayton's a wonder, Molly.
00:37:54All the boys at the field swear by him.
00:37:57Then why can't I go to him?
00:38:04All of this terrible noise.
00:38:07Why can't something be done to stop it?
00:38:15Well, something bad has happened, Senor.
00:38:18You mean the border patrol?
00:38:19No, no. It is Senor Raul.
00:38:21They have him in the house.
00:38:23Who has him? Government men?
00:38:25He's hurt. Maybe he died.
00:38:27What happened?
00:38:29There was a fight.
00:38:31Who with?
00:38:33Maybe Fernando and Moran.
00:38:35Oh.
00:38:37Say nothing to anyone else.
00:38:39I'm going to the house.
00:38:41Hold everything till I get back.
00:38:43Muy bien.
00:38:45Do you hear that, Colonel?
00:38:47They've found the rage.
00:38:49Yes, Lieutenant. Here I am.
00:38:51Where are you?
00:38:53It's Horton.
00:38:55It's Captain Horton, will you?
00:38:57Yes, he's here.
00:38:59Let's stop that noise out there.
00:39:01Easy, easy.
00:39:03Stop it.
00:39:07Nothing will stop it.
00:39:09Not until we're dead, I tell you.
00:39:12Death.
00:39:15We're going to go on the non-patrol.
00:39:17The patrol's called off.
00:39:20Oh, the patrol's called off.
00:39:26Then I can sleep.
00:39:28Yes, you sleep.
00:39:50Is there a chance?
00:39:53Perhaps.
00:39:55I didn't know you were in these parts, Captain.
00:39:57I haven't seen you...
00:39:59All right, Sergeant.
00:40:01I'm going to ask questions, not answer them.
00:40:03I understand Moran did it.
00:40:05That's true, Captain.
00:40:07It seems like there was some kind of a scuffle
00:40:09and he let them have it.
00:40:11Does Miss McGuire know?
00:40:13She sent four men.
00:40:15Where's Mickey Broom?
00:40:17He's with her.
00:40:19I thought it best.
00:40:31Watch him.
00:40:33Yes, Colonel.
00:40:36He said we couldn't fail, Mickey.
00:40:38But we have.
00:40:40We have.
00:40:42It's all my fault.
00:40:46Stop it.
00:40:47Stop it.
00:40:49Easy, my girl.
00:40:51May I go to him now?
00:40:53Not now.
00:40:55Perhaps in a few moments.
00:40:57He's resting quietly.
00:40:59Lofton calmed him.
00:41:01Lofton? Is he still with him?
00:41:03No.
00:41:05He went out after some fellow named Moran.
00:41:07Moran?
00:41:09Oh, Mickey, we must something.
00:41:12There, there, my dear.
00:41:14I want you to tell me how this all happened.
00:41:18You said you'd bring her here.
00:41:20Where is she?
00:41:22Why doesn't she talk?
00:41:24Mimi!
00:41:26Mimi!
00:41:28Mimi!
00:41:30Mimi!
00:41:32Mimi!
00:41:34Mimi!
00:41:36Mimi!
00:41:38Mimi!
00:41:40Mimi!
00:41:42Mimi!
00:41:44Mimi!
00:41:45Why doesn't she talk?
00:41:47Mimi! Mimi!
00:41:49Oh, Mimi.
00:41:51I'm so glad you came.
00:41:53There's something I want to explain to you.
00:41:56Where's Molly, Doctor?
00:41:58She's with her brother.
00:42:00Just a moment, Michael.
00:42:02I'd like to have a talk with you.
00:42:04Yes, sir.
00:42:06There's no use in evading matters now.
00:42:08An immediate operation is necessary
00:42:10if her brother's life is to be saved.
00:42:12You mean here at the field hospital?
00:42:13No.
00:42:15I wouldn't have the facilities here.
00:42:17The operation is a delicate one,
00:42:19and I'll have to have all the assistance and...
00:42:21But San Antonio is more than 300 miles away.
00:42:24I'm sorry, but there's nothing else I can do.
00:42:27To attempt an operation of this nature here
00:42:30would only hasten what I know would happen.
00:42:33Is that the only...
00:42:35The only one.
00:42:37Well, could he be moved?
00:42:40I mean, could we get him aboard a plane?
00:42:44That would be dangerous, but...
00:42:47Perhaps it could be done.
00:42:50Is there a plane here?
00:42:52There's one here at the ranch.
00:42:54Oh, I'm so sorry, Rob.
00:42:57It's all my fault.
00:43:02I think I could get you up, sir.
00:43:05Very well.
00:43:07I'll examine the patient and give you my final decision.
00:43:44You must be brave.
00:43:46But it is true. He is going to die.
00:43:48No.
00:43:50There is a chance that he can be flown to San Antonio for the operation.
00:43:53And I promised the colonel to get a pilot.
00:43:55You?
00:43:57Why, Mickey, don't you worry. We've got the very man right here.
00:43:59Captain Lofton. He was the worry.
00:44:01I'll go and tell the colonel.
00:44:07Lofton.
00:44:09Oh, Mickey.
00:44:11Lofton.
00:44:13And he can't do it.
00:44:16Get out.
00:44:20Hold that ship. We are ready.
00:44:22Rondo!
00:44:41Hello.
00:44:43Hello!
00:44:47Listen, we're turning the valve.
00:44:50Is everything ready?
00:44:52Good.
00:44:54This oil's hot.
00:44:56Tell him I was right. Lofton is the federal dick.
00:44:58If you want the dough, it's range.
00:45:00Here she comes.
00:45:02Goodbye.
00:45:10Goodbye.
00:45:30Turn her up, Perez.
00:45:32Si, senor.
00:45:34Well?
00:45:36What is it now?
00:45:38We're going to fly Maguire to San Antonio if we can.
00:45:40There's no pilot.
00:45:42And you know that Lofton's out.
00:45:44There'll be a pilot. If he doesn't go, the doctor says he'll die.
00:45:46That is tough luck.
00:45:48It is also ours.
00:45:50The bargain we have made with the senorita is in.
00:45:52Fernando, if Maguire talks in the hospital...
00:45:54By the time he's ready to talk, it will be too late.
00:45:57Son, I'm going to hold Lofton here.
00:46:00And if Maguire does talk, well...
00:46:03You wouldn't dare.
00:46:05I wouldn't?
00:46:11Where is he going?
00:46:13I don't know, senor.
00:46:15Perhaps he's going to see Lofton.
00:46:17Maybe he wants to find out that the captain did not get beat.
00:46:21I'm going to see Lofton. I don't trust Moran.
00:46:23Thanks.
00:46:25Wheel the plane out into the wind.
00:46:37I'm certainly glad it's you.
00:46:38Thanks, captain.
00:46:40But there isn't a moment to lose.
00:46:42I can't go through with it.
00:46:44Go through with what?
00:46:46Everything. Our plot.
00:46:48What plot?
00:46:50Molly and I figured if we could hold you and her brother prisoners...
00:46:52until after the smuggling was over...
00:46:54we'd save you both from jail.
00:46:56But Raul was shot.
00:46:58So, you went to Moran and Fernando.
00:47:00Yes, we had to risk it.
00:47:02But they agreed that nobody would be hurt.
00:47:04Did Moran really shoot Raul?
00:47:06Sure.
00:47:08He knew.
00:47:10And there's something else.
00:47:12Raul dead?
00:47:14No. Doc Clayton says he has a chance...
00:47:16if he can be flown to San Antonio for the operation.
00:47:18All they need is a pilot.
00:47:20I told you I was washed up and afraid of storms.
00:47:23So, if you give me your word that you'll make the trip...
00:47:26and your buddy...
00:47:28I'll stay here and take the bus.
00:47:30You're far from being washed up, Mickey.
00:47:32I'm proud of you.
00:47:34But before I agree, there's something you must know.
00:47:36I lied when I told you your brother was shot down.
00:47:38You wondered why I gave that toast.
00:47:40The real reason was...
00:47:42I taught it to you.
00:47:46You're...
00:47:48Jerry Broom.
00:47:50So, that's why you told me you were dead.
00:47:53You're a crook.
00:47:59Well...
00:48:01it doesn't matter now.
00:48:03The thing is with Molly...
00:48:05Mickey, you don't understand.
00:48:06You don't understand.
00:48:08So, you're double-crossing me now, huh?
00:48:10You're as bad as a captain...
00:48:12and you're worse.
00:48:14You framed him and now your nerve is failing you.
00:48:20Never play, Mickey.
00:48:22Take Raoul and Molly to the field.
00:48:24All right, Jerry.
00:48:26Copy that, Mickey.
00:48:36Sorry, sir.
00:48:38Lawson's left the ranch.
00:48:40I'm Michael Broom.
00:48:42You signed my report which washed me out.
00:48:44It said fear of storms.
00:48:46I've flown this route on practice flights
00:48:48and I can do it, sir.
00:48:50I know it.
00:48:52But I didn't want to fly without telling you the truth.
00:48:54Please trust me.
00:48:56Everything depends on this flight.
00:48:58What is your answer, sir?
00:49:00Contact, Michael.
00:49:06Don't cry.
00:49:18Now, get back here.
00:49:21I'd like to see you squirm for what you did to Raoul,
00:49:23but I can't.
00:49:25You're my prisoner, Moran.
00:49:36Get back here.
00:50:07Hello.
00:50:09Hello.
00:50:11Give me W2376.
00:50:37Captain Lawson has made for you the double cross.
00:50:40He lost his plane, senor.
00:50:42It has left.
00:50:44And now, Lawson, he's living with all the money.
00:50:48They sent Red Johnson up to blast him out of the air.
00:50:51He'll never make San Antone.
00:51:07Get ready to leave.
00:51:32V-7 calling V-1.
00:51:34V-7 calling V-1.

00:58:48Give me one of my cigarette kits.
00:58:50All right, Jerry.
00:58:52How are you feeling?
00:58:54Oh, I'm going to be all right.
00:59:10Boy, that tastes good.
00:59:16I'll bet it does.
00:59:18An application has gone to Washington for your full reinstatement, Mickey.
00:59:24For exceptional bravery on the fire.
00:59:26And the colonel thinks there's no doubt...
00:59:28What are you trying to do?
00:59:30Tell me another one of your stories about the brave knight?
00:59:33The brave knight's all right.
00:59:35This isn't a fairy tale this time.
00:59:38You've come through, boy.
00:59:49Do you think that the likes of you could be taken to the likes of me?
00:59:52Sure, Mike.
01:00:08Happy landing.
