03:02We've got it all but $97, and we can raise that easily if you'll give us another day or so.
03:09I'm afraid it can't be done because...
03:11Oh, go on. Be a regular, won't you, Cap?
03:17What's a couple of days amongst pals?
03:19I haven't any choice. It's tough, but if you haven't got the money, I've got to take the equipment.
03:25Oh, Daddy.
03:27There, there, Gene. It wasn't much of a show anyway.
03:32But it was all we had. It's been home to all of us for so long.
03:38I know, dear. I know.
03:40Mr. Gregory, look what I've got.
03:46A $100 bill. Oh, Craig, you saved the show.
03:51Saved the show?
03:53Well, not too fast, Gene. After all, the $100 is Craig's, not ours.
03:59Sorry you said that, Skipper.
04:05After all you've done for me, you know that everything I own belongs to you.
04:11I don't know why I said it, Craig. I knew the answer.
04:15Why, it's real. Where'd you get it?
04:20Ah, that's the secret.
04:22What do you mean?
04:24Watch my act today. I'm introducing a new stunt.
04:27Come along, Gene. We're on next.
04:30Right. So long.
04:45Watch your way.
04:46You're making it up.
04:47You're making it up.
04:48Let's go, ladies and gentlemen, come along.
04:50Come along...
04:52-"Come back, honey!"
04:54-" Israeli machine tecnologia!"
04:57-"Hi, Pablo!"
04:58-"Pare?
05:02Gracias, Pablo!"
05:06-"Poing ME!"
05:09-"Hey, get out under my feet, you little squirt!
05:13-"Don't get italic policy, you big maluca!
05:16-"There's guys like you that make birds like me...
05:19-"Hey, guys like you!"
05:20Yes, Andrew.
05:21Oh, let's go.
05:50She's getting ready to bail out.
06:20Look, the plane isn't firing.
06:34No, he's skyrocketing.
06:39That must be the new stud he was talking about.
06:42Gee, ain't he the greatest fly he ever saw?
06:45I've only known one as good.
06:49An army flyer.
06:52They call him the Eagle.
06:54He was shot down May 23rd, 1918.
07:00May 23rd.
07:03Gee, that's funny.
07:19In the far corner is where I suggest directing the new addition to the plan.
07:24Well, why not?
07:25I don't think we have enough space.
07:28Oh, the space is all right, but I would prefer the north side.
07:32Think.
07:33Doesn't that date mean anything to you?
07:47Why, that's the date the Eagle was shot down.
07:51Look.
07:52The Eagle.
07:54Well, that's all very interesting, gentlemen, but now to get back to the new addition to the plan.
08:10Back and wait.
08:11Get back to the carnival, quick.
08:17Get back to the carnival, quick.
08:33Come back to the carnival, quick!
08:45What is this all about, gentlemen?
08:47Just who is this eagle person?
08:49Well, the eagle is, or at least he was,
08:53the crack flyer of my squadron during the war.
08:55That is until...
08:56Look!
09:03You shot down the eagle and stole his invention.
09:19His shadow has returned.
09:21Prepare to pay.
09:22Signed, the eagle.
09:27That note hints that this factory is founded on crime.
09:30And as your manager, I demand an explanation.
09:33Well, you see, during the war,
09:37we five were members of the same flying unit.
09:41Our ace pilot was known as the Eagle.
09:45On May 23rd, 1918,
09:49he was flying a captured enemy plane over their line,
09:53trying to land a spy.
09:55One of our own planes brought him down,
09:57thinking he was an enemy.
09:59The Eagle.
10:00What does he mean when he makes reference to...
10:03the stolen invention?
10:05We have no more idea than you have.
10:12Whoever is responsible for those messages can easily be traced.
10:15There's a stunt flyer that arrived in town yesterday
10:18with the carnival company.
10:19Good idea.
10:20Follow through on that green.
10:21I'll go down there now.
10:22You know, I didn't like to mention it because...
10:24it was Green who shot down the eagle.
10:27I saw it all through my field glasses, but I...
10:29I was unable to help.
10:33Well, that's that.
10:34I'm sorry.
10:35It's the one who shot down the eagle.
10:36I saw it all through my field glasses, but I...
10:39I was unable to help.
10:41Let's go.
11:02Well, that's that.
11:05I don't want to start the ball rolling.
11:09The eagle.
11:12Hello?
11:13Green's on his way to the carnival.
11:15You know what to do.
11:17Okay, boss.
11:18Things have started.
11:20Green's on his way to the carnival.
11:34What was the meaning of that message you wrote, Craig?
11:36Well, just an ad of some sort, I suppose.
11:38But who paid you to write it?
11:39Well, I don't know.
11:40It came in a blank envelope with a $100 bill attached to it.
11:44What's troubling you, Gene?
11:45Oh, don't you know who the eagle is?
11:47No.
11:48Why?
11:52Gene, wait!
11:53Gene, did you see the sky message Craig wrote?
11:56Yes.
11:57Well, what did it mean?
11:58I...
11:59I don't know.
12:00Where can I find that sky rider?
12:02Well, there he comes now.
12:04Are you the fellow that did that sky riding?
12:06Well, I'm the fellow.
12:07What can I do for you?
12:08You can tell me the meaning of that message you just wrote.
12:09You can tell me the meaning of that message you just wrote.
12:13What do you want to know for?
12:14Never mind that.
12:15I'll do the questioning.
12:16Oh, yeah?
12:17Well, you can tell me the meaning of that message you just wrote.
12:20What do you want to know for?
12:22Never mind that.
12:23I'll do the questioning.
12:24Oh, yeah?
12:25Well, you'll do your own answering, too.
12:26Wait a minute.
12:27Are you going to answer my question, or would you rather answer the police?
12:30Police?
12:31No.
12:32No.
12:33No.
12:34No.
12:35No.
12:36No.
12:37No.
12:38No.
12:39No.
12:40No.
12:41No.
12:42No.
12:43No.
12:44No.
12:45No.
12:46No.
12:47No.
12:48No.
12:49No.
12:50No.
12:51No.
12:52No.
12:53No.
12:54No.
12:55Right.
12:56No.
12:57No.
12:58No.
12:59I just wanted to know.
13:02Who are you, and what are you talking about?
13:04I'm talking about blackmail.
13:05Blackmail?
13:06Yes, this.
13:07You shot down the eagle?
13:09And stole his invention.
13:10His shadow has returned.
13:11Prepare to pay.
13:12The eagle.
13:15What is it, Jean?
13:16Who is this gentleman?
13:19Why, you're...
13:20Why you're aren't you green of my old flying unit
13:26Gregory we we thought you were dead. Are you act as though you're sorry? I'm not
13:33Gregory the Eagle
13:38Just a shadow of the old Eagle you knew
13:41Shadow of the Eagle
13:43So you are back of these threats against your old war buddies, huh? That's a lie
13:48Why should he threaten you to try and make us pay for an invention? He says he has I had such an invention green
13:56And I've still got the plans to prove it
13:58And you suspect your old friends are stealing it
14:02No, I hadn't suspected until today
14:05But now I'm going to see this through. Yeah, well if you think you're going to blackmail us. I think you better get on a lot while you're still in one piece
14:16All right
14:19But I'm warning you Gregory you'd better forget this scheme or you'll find yourself behind bars
14:24Go on
14:33Gregory's plans mean much to you. They're in an army trunk in his tent
14:36Big one over there
14:39It's not true is it daddy? You're not threatening those men
14:41Oh why shouldn't I threaten them? Didn't they try to kill me?
14:45I see the whole plot now
14:47Evans ordered me up in an enemy plane
14:49Green and Dandy shot me down
14:51With a perfect alibi
14:53Daddy, please!
14:54And now they've built a fortune on the invention they stole from me
14:57While we live from hand to mouth
14:59Poverty's drink and carnival trooper
15:01Daddy, please jump
15:02I just saw a man sneaking into your tent, Mr. Gregory
15:20Your plans!
15:22I just saw a man sneaking into your tent, Mr. Gregory
15:24Your plans!
15:25Your plans!
15:26Your plans!
15:27Your plans!
15:28Your plans!
15:32Your plans!
15:36How many years?
15:38You have to be a perfect alibi
15:40Give me a perfect alibi
15:41We want to be a perfect alibi
15:44Now let's go!
15:47Alright!
15:49Come on
15:51Everyone is going to be a perfect alibi
15:56The most reasonable
15:58Morning
15:59The most reasonable
16:01You're trying to take your car a bit.
16:03You're giving up.
16:15What?
16:15Just a moment.
16:17Oh, come here.
16:18Take your car a bit.
16:18Look at that.
16:20He's on the side.
16:22He's on the side.
16:24Come on, man.
16:25Oh, hello.
16:25Now you're on the side of the car.
16:27Hey.
16:28I've got to go home.
16:29Hey, mighty.
16:30You're getting a big race.
16:31Oh, my God.
17:01Hello, Danby.
17:03This is Green talking.
17:05Call a meeting at the office tonight.
17:07Yeah.
17:09And get this.
17:11Gregory is alive.
17:13We've got to act quickly.
17:15Goodbye.
17:17Did she get what you wanted?
17:19I think so.
17:21My friend there gave you the tip.
17:23How about slipping up the side of the door?
17:25I'm sorry.
17:27This is Green talking.
17:29Call a meeting at the office tonight.
17:31Yeah.
17:32And get this.
17:34Gregory is alive.
17:36We've got to act quickly.
17:38Goodbye.
17:41Did she get what you wanted?
17:43I think so.
17:45How about slipping us some change?
17:47I don't know why not.
18:05Sure.
18:06We get the papers.
18:08Green gets the blanks.
18:10Thank you, boy.
18:11Well, I'm Marshall.
18:12I'll say you are.
18:14The carnival grounds, quick.
18:16Say, who's going to pay a fair, little boy?
18:18Who are you calling little boy?
18:20You big palooka.
18:22Oh, excuse me.
18:24And make it snappy.
18:40See that, gentlemen.
18:41See that?
18:42Look at that man.
18:43Aha!
18:44Right there.
18:45Look at that man.
18:46No, he says it doesn't.
18:48Where's Gene?
18:50Inside.
18:51Thanks.
18:52Huh?
18:53I got him.
18:54Oh, let's tell Dad.
18:55All right.
19:00Daddy!
19:01Daddy!
19:02Oh, Daddy!
19:08Oh, Craig, he's gone.
19:09They've gone.
19:10They've taken him.
19:11They couldn't have taken him off the lot.
19:12Hey!
19:13Shipper!
19:14Where's the shipper?
19:16Why, what's happened?
19:17Daddy's been kidnapped.
19:18Kidnapped?
19:19That's what that big palooka was phoning about.
19:22What do you mean?
19:23We're all meeting at the factory tonight.
19:24The factory?
19:44Don't squirm, Green. You might break your arm.
20:05So it's you, eh?
20:07Well, what's your game?
20:09I'm here to find out what your game is.
20:11We have to find out what your game is.
20:13We're going to that meeting together.
20:15Please, don't worry.
20:41Well, who is this man, Green?
20:43And what does it mean?
20:45It means Gregory is behind these threats,
20:47and this fellow is working with him.
20:49That's a lie, Green.
20:50You men are out to get Mr. Gregory.
20:52You're holding him prisoner now,
20:53and I want to know where he is.
20:55You needn't lie.
20:56You've got Mr. Gregory, and I want him.
20:58Yeah?
20:59Well, come on.
21:00You better start.
21:01Hold him, Clark.
21:02I've got it.
21:03You've got Mr. Gregory, and I want him.
21:05Yeah?
21:06Well, come on.
21:07You better start.
21:08Hold him, Clark.
21:09I've got him, Clark.
21:10I've got him.
21:11Get him.
21:12Get him.
21:13I've got him, though.
21:14Somebody's searching me.
21:15He may have a gun on him.
21:19Gregory's fake plans.
21:29Blank paper.
21:30What have you done with the plans?
21:32Wouldn't you like to know?
21:34You'll tell before we're through, will you?
21:36Well, you men are in no position.
21:38to make me tell anything.
21:40Oh, yeah?
21:41Listen.
21:46Look.
21:49Another scimed.
21:55Quiet.
21:56That's about Clark.
22:00He's drawing a line from Clark's name.
22:02I wonder what's happening.
22:05Well, it looks like I'm a marked man, doesn't it?
22:13The eagle has struck.
22:15Turn off the lights.
22:20He's struck Clark down.
22:21Don't let him escape.
22:22Don't let him escape.
22:44No luck?
22:45No.
22:46Not a trace of him.
22:47No.
22:50Quiet.
22:51The body's gone.
22:52Well, who could have taken it?
22:54Probably the man that shot it.
22:55Gregory's behind all this.
22:56Why, we're in none of the safe.
22:57I'll call the police.
22:59Wait.
23:01Quiet.
23:02We can't afford to have the police in on this.
23:05All right.
23:06Then we'll take matters in our own hands.
23:07Did you find him, Frank?
23:08Well, what's the matter?
23:09A man was killed at the airplane factory tonight.
23:10A man was killed?
23:15What, what is that to do with father?
23:16Well, it was murdered, Jean.
23:17And I'm almost certain I saw your father running away.
23:18Oh, but you must be mad.
23:19Father's crippled.
23:20He hasn't walked for years.
23:21I know it, and yet...
23:22Look, Jean.
23:23Father!
23:24Can't be!
23:25Daddy!
23:29So you can walk.
23:32I saw your father running away.
23:34Oh, but you must be mad.
23:35Father's crippled.
23:36He hasn't walked for years.
23:37I know it, and yet...
23:38Look, Jean.
23:41Father!
23:42Can't be!
23:46Daddy!
23:47Oh, you can't walk.
23:50He's scared.
23:51Oh, why did you keep it from?
23:53Well, I only meant to wait until I was fully recovered.
23:57So it was you I saw at the factory.
23:59Yes, I was there.
24:01But I didn't kill Clark.
24:03Then why did you switch the lights out?
24:05I only did it to save you.
24:07So, you did it to save him, huh?
24:18Well?
24:20You'd better try and save yourself, Gregory.
24:23Take him.
24:24What are you going to do?
24:26Do?
24:27What do they generally do with murderers?
24:29Oh, but he hasn't killed anyone.
24:31I know he hasn't.
24:32We heard what he said.
24:34He's a self-confessed killer.
24:37Here, stand aside, McCoy.
24:39We're going to take him.
24:40Over my dead body, you big palookas.
24:46We've got to work fast.
24:47They'll be in here after 30 minutes.
24:49Get to the off lane, Skipper.
24:50It's your only kid.
24:51Hey, Rube.
24:52Hey, Rube.
24:53Hey, Rube.
24:54Hey, Rube.
24:55Get away from here.
24:56Get out of here.
24:57Get out of here.
24:58Get out of here.
24:59Get out of here.
25:01Get out of here.
25:06Get out of here.
25:15Oh.
25:17Daddy! Wait for me!
25:24Tim, that's the way!
25:26Give it to a good!
25:47Help, Craig! Help!
26:11What's the matter, Jean? Has your father gone mad?
26:14But it isn't Daddy, Craig. It's no one disguises him.
26:19Are you hurt?
26:20Oh, I twisted my knee when I fell.
26:24Look, Craig. What does it mean?
26:26The tents will take fire. We've got to help.
26:29Oh, we can't walk, Craig.
26:32Look! He's headed this way!
26:36We're in a crisis!
26:38Oh!
26:39Oh!
26:40Oh!
26:41Oh!
