00:01:14Oh, idiot!
00:01:17Oh, Father, what's the matter?
00:01:20It's libel.
00:01:22I'll have him fired.
00:01:23I'll have him arrested.
00:01:25I'll kill him.

00:02:40Hello, Betty.
00:02:41Hello.
00:02:42What does this mean?
00:02:43Lovely twin boys.

00:02:56Read it.
00:02:57Read it.
00:03:00Harrison's merchandise.
00:03:01Where prices are high and quality is low.
00:03:04What does that mean?
00:03:05Huh?
00:03:06It means where prices are high and quality is low.
00:03:09See?
00:03:10He did it on purpose.
00:03:11No, he didn't, Father.
00:03:12I'm sure he didn't.
00:03:13It should be where prices are low and quality is high, Uncle.
00:03:17Shut up.
00:03:18Ha.
00:03:19I made a mistake, didn't I?
00:03:20You, I'll fix you.
00:03:22Please.
00:03:23Father, Elmer will apologize.
00:03:25Sure, Mr. Harrison.
00:03:26I'll apologize.
00:03:27He should have just let Elmer explain.
00:03:28Where's Bob?
00:03:29Boy, he went fishing.
00:03:31When he gets back, tell him to see me.
00:03:33I want to have you fired.
00:03:34Yes, sir.
00:03:35You're taking it all too seriously, Father.
00:03:38Well, sure, Mr. Harrison.
00:03:39There's no harm done.
00:03:40Nobody ever sees the ad anyway.
00:03:42What?
00:03:43I mean, hardly anyone.
00:03:45I mean, nope.
00:03:46I mean...
00:03:47You better hush, Elmer.
00:03:48Believe him, little father.
00:03:49You know mistakes will happen.
00:03:52We certainly will.
00:03:58Oh, Betty.
00:03:59Betty.
00:04:00Betty, I...
00:04:01I didn't do it on purpose.
00:04:03Honest.

00:04:05I understand.
00:04:06Gosh.

00:14:16I think so.
00:14:17Help me out, will you?
00:14:19I think my ankle's turned.
00:14:22Somebody go for a doctor.
00:14:26There's nobody here.
00:14:30I hope it ain't broken.
00:14:37I think my wrist is sprained, too.
00:14:41What happened?
00:14:46I ran out of gas.
00:14:48I didn't have enough money to buy anything.
00:14:51Just when I was getting my invention into shape, too.
00:14:54I guess I'm out of luck.
00:14:56Gee, I wish I had the money.
00:14:58I sure would help you.
00:14:59But I'm fresh out of dough.
00:15:02Oh.
00:15:03Certainly sorry about your top, Elmer.
00:15:05Oh, that's all right, Bill.
00:15:07Healthier without a top, anyway.

00:16:06That's Bill's new invention.
00:16:08But how?
00:16:09Travels on the radio beam.
00:16:11Land it this time, Bill.
00:16:17I'm sad.
00:16:19I'm glad you like it.
00:16:21You want to sit down?
00:16:22I've got to get back.
00:16:24I don't know where I am.
00:16:25Good.

00:16:30See you later, Elmo.

00:17:42North Dakota to feed the entire nation.
00:17:45Aren't you going to sell stock?
00:17:47No.
00:17:48A few financiers like myself have taken over practically the entire issue.
00:17:54Well, I guess I could be called a financier.
00:17:59Maybe.
00:18:00Well, I don't bet you, old man.
00:18:02Mr. Waddington, I guess you'd think I was a pretty nosy fellow if I asked you to let me
00:18:07in on, say, a hundred shares.
00:18:10Well, no, not nosy.
00:18:13How would you like to take a little jar out of my room?
00:18:16Oh.
00:18:17Oh.
00:18:18Oh.
00:18:19Oh.
00:18:20Oh.
00:18:21Oh.
00:18:22Hey, Doc.
00:18:23Can I speak to you a minute?
00:18:24Why, certainly.
00:18:25I'm a business associate.
00:18:26I don't suppose you'll remember me, but my name's Flynn.
00:18:29Detective Flynn.
00:18:30Oh, yes, of course.
00:18:31You said you're out of business in Chicago, Doc.
00:18:32Well, you can't hang a man for trying.
00:18:33No, but we can get him, can you?
00:18:34Oh.
00:18:35Oh.
00:18:36Oh.
00:18:37Oh.
00:18:38That's true.
00:18:39That's true.
00:18:40That's true.
00:18:41That's true.
00:18:42That's very true.
00:18:43It's now 10.30, Doc.
00:18:45Now, if you should happen to be in Chicago at 10.30 tonight.
00:18:47Oh, apple time, please.
00:18:48Apple time.
00:18:49Apple time.

00:20:50Elmer Lane.
00:20:52I've heard that name before.

00:20:57That was it.
00:20:59Congratulations, Mr. Lane.
00:21:01Thank you, sir.
00:21:02I shall never forget my first $5,000.
00:21:07What did you do with it, Mr. Waddington?
00:21:09I ran it up to $50,000.
00:21:11It seemed only a step then to my first million.
00:21:13That was a long time ago.
00:21:19A long time ago.
00:21:21Mr. Waddington, will you give me a statement from my paper?
00:21:24Indeed I will, young man.

00:21:49He's a flying engineer.
00:21:51He's got an airplane that flies on a radio beam.
00:21:54It flies by itself.
00:21:56Really?
00:21:56I'll take you out there right now.
00:21:58Where's your hat?
00:21:59Here.
00:22:01It's a wonderful idea, Mr. Waddington.
00:22:03You'll see.
00:22:03It's wonderful.
00:22:04Indeed it is.
00:22:06What I mean is that someone hasn't financed it already.
00:22:09With your foresight, I didn't think it's the beginning.
00:22:12Well, I hadn't thought about it.
00:22:15You see, I've been thinking about buying the Claremont Chronicle.
00:22:18Claremont Chronicle.
00:22:20You mean the newspaper?
00:22:22Yep.
00:22:22My boy, I'm just a little bit disappointed in you.
00:22:28Should I do it?
00:22:30Should I do it?
00:22:32Well, I don't know, sir.
00:22:34I dislike taking in partners.
00:22:36Then I mustn't forget that.
00:22:38I made my first 50,000 through the counsel of an older and more experienced man.
00:22:45Should I do it?
00:22:47Yes, I will.
00:22:49Why?
00:22:49Take you in.
00:22:51With your little insignificant $5,000, you shall become a man among men.
00:22:57Now, boy, you have a rendezvous with destiny.
00:23:01Have I?
00:23:02Come on.
00:23:02Let's go.
00:23:04When?
00:23:04Where?
00:23:05First, we'll go look at the invention.
00:23:08Second, we'll form a company.
00:23:09And third, we'll make you the president.
00:23:12The president?
00:23:13You deserve it, my boys.
00:23:14We'll make this young man Hilton the secretary.
00:23:16Now.
00:23:17Here we go.
00:23:22It's fading away.
00:23:24You know I was not to blame.
00:23:30You have forgotten your promise that day.
00:23:37Your love has not been the same.
00:23:42I'm tired of crying to me.
00:23:48I'm tired of letting you.
00:23:54Is that you, Elmer?
00:24:04Is your father home?
00:24:05Yes, but he's already gone to bed.
00:24:07Gee, that's too bad.
00:24:09I wanted to have a little chat.
00:24:12It's 10 o'clock.
00:24:33That plane flies over here every Wednesday night exactly at 10.
00:24:40If one goes over at 12, too, they're probably male planes.
00:24:44Nah, the male plane runs 15 miles west of here, over home gate.
00:24:53Let's sit and swing, Elmer.
00:24:55Come on.
00:24:56Oh, oh yeah.
00:24:57Are you comfortable?
00:25:12Yeah, sure.
00:25:13Of course.
00:25:15This is an awfully roomy swing, isn't it?
00:25:17Sure is.
00:25:21Lots of room.
00:25:23So, so your father went to bed, huh?
00:25:26He wasn't feeling very well tonight.
00:25:28Good.
00:25:30Or I mean, I mean he should go to bed early if he doesn't feel well.
00:25:35Did you tell him about me winning the crunches contest?
00:25:37He read it in the paper.
00:25:40What'd he say?
00:25:41He said you'd probably invest it in some silly idea and lose it.
00:25:44But I told him you were going to buy the chronicle.
00:25:48Oh.
00:25:48Oh, you did, huh?
00:25:50You are, aren't you?
00:25:52Well, I, I, uh, of course I haven't got the check yet.
00:25:57But don't you worry, Betty.
00:25:59I'm going to do big things.
00:26:02I've got a rendezvous with destiny.
00:26:05I know what people are saying about me.
00:26:08They're saying that I'm just a big mouth.
00:26:09But I'm not.
00:26:12Of course you're not.
00:26:16Gosh, Betty.
00:26:18You sure look pretty in the dark.
00:26:21Or I mean, I mean you look dark.
00:26:23Or I...
00:26:24In the moonlight.
00:26:28Gosh, Betty.
00:26:30You sure are pretty.
00:26:36Gosh.
00:26:38Betty!
00:26:38Betty!
00:26:39Well, uh, I'll be seeing you sooner, Betty.
00:26:44What's, what's the matter?
00:26:45Oh, boy, that it's nothing about it here.
00:26:48Oh, you two young people want to be alone, don't you?
00:26:50Well, I'll run along.
00:26:52You must be there.
00:26:55Oh, by the way, I'm going to drop by the store when you have time.
00:26:58Okay, Mr. Harrison.
00:26:59Goodbye, Mr. Harrison.
00:27:00Goodbye, Mr. Harrison.
00:27:03What have you done?
00:27:05Nothing.
00:27:06And why, if Father knows?
00:27:07Oh, I guess he's just beginning to realize
00:27:09the truth about me.
00:27:11What is it?
00:27:12Mr. Whiting and Michelle were going into a little business enterprise together.
00:27:16Elmer, have you got that cranky set yet?
00:27:19Well, yes.
00:27:20I mean, er, no, I mean, Betty, this is your secret project.
00:27:25Elmer Lane, if you don't get it back, I'll never speak to you again.
00:27:29Betty, I'm the president.
00:27:30Who ever heard of the president drawing his own money out of a firm?
00:27:34And you died in that settlement.
00:27:36I'll never...
00:27:37Oh, Harvey.
00:27:42Hello, Betty.
00:27:44You going my way?
00:27:45Certainly am.
00:27:45My dear, I...
00:28:05I forgot to order a boat.
00:28:06I forgot to order a boat.
00:28:36I have it.
00:28:50Hi, Herbert.
00:28:51Hello, Elmer.
00:29:00Hey, Mr. Spencer.
00:30:01Thank you, Mr. Waddington.
00:30:02I'll take 52.
00:30:03I mean, 50 also.
00:30:05Will 25 shares be too little?
00:30:07Gentlemen, while you're making out your checks, I'll find your stock.
00:30:31Let's go.
00:30:32Let's go.
00:30:33Let's go.
00:30:34Let's go.

00:30:54Let's go.
00:30:55Let's go.
00:30:56Let's go.
00:30:57Let's go.
00:30:58Let's go.
00:30:59Let's go.
00:31:00Let's go.

00:31:04Let's go.
00:31:06Let's go.
00:31:07Let's go.
00:31:08Let's go.
00:31:09He has to.
00:31:10Let's go.
00:31:11Let me just go.
00:31:12Ah.
00:31:14Let me just go.
00:31:16Let me just go.
00:31:18I just go.
00:31:31Oh, sir.
00:31:32We've gotten to sleep.
00:31:33What's the pictures in the top of a dog back get it?
00:31:38Okay
00:31:48Elmer Elmer
00:31:50Well, you gotta help me you've got what's the matter heart my hand breathes off broken play
00:31:58Harvey I'd like to help you. I can't have no dog's leg
00:32:01Well, I don't mean it. Listen boys the veterinarian in Chicago is the greatest dog surgeon in the world
00:32:05I phoned the city. Yes, I mean my aunt Bertha phoned him and he said he could set the dog's leg if we could get him there in the next three hours
00:32:10Otherwise, he'll die. And you want us to fly him to Chicago?
00:32:13Yeah, a hundred dollars. I mean my aunt Bertha. The veterinarian will meet you at the airport in Chicago
00:32:18Yeah, I can't fly the plane
00:32:21I'll kick him
00:32:22But Elmer, you've only about two hours solo. Well, it only takes two hours to fly to Chicago
00:32:27It isn't worth the risk, Elmer. After all, it's only a dog
00:32:31A life's a life. Even if it's that dog's life
00:32:34Atta boy, Elmer. I knew you'd come through
00:32:44Now remember what I told you, Elmer. Don't worry, Bill. Just stand back. Stand clear.
00:32:49Stand back. Stand clear.
00:33:03Now let's see. What did he tell me to do with these things?
00:33:07Oh, gosh. I won't use them at all
00:33:13Chicago, here we come
00:33:15I hope
00:33:46Now listen, Chuck. You get the dog in the basket. See? The pictures are in the top
00:33:50Tommy, you and Jerry get pictures of this guy from every angle. Do you understand?
00:33:53Okay. Well, good.
00:34:00Look. Here he comes now
00:34:15Come on
00:34:30Are you all right, pal?
00:34:31Yes, sure. Hey, wait a minute. I'm looking for a veterinarian
00:34:33Why, certainly. This is Dr. Manfrey. Doctor, I want you to know, uh...
00:34:36Elmer Lane
00:34:37Please make sure, I assure you
00:34:38Why, Mr. Lane, I want to congratulate you on this Nobel achievement
00:34:42You'll probably win the award for the most humane deed of the year
00:34:45Award?
00:34:46What award?
00:34:47What award?
00:34:48These gentlemen here won a picture to show to the award committee. Would you mind posing for them?
00:34:54Hold it!
00:34:57Thank you, pal.
00:34:58Well, thanks, old man
00:35:07The Chicago Daily Star reporter buys pictures to Daily Blade
00:35:11I read it
00:35:12Oh, well, that's some satisfaction
00:35:13You can reach anywhere
00:35:15Now answer me, yes or no
00:35:17Is this Elmer Lane one of our correspondents, or is he not?
00:35:20Yes, but it is the mere fact that...
00:35:22Then why is one of our correspondents
00:35:23carrying exclusive news pictures to our competitors?
00:35:26I don't know, Mr. Walters
00:35:27All I...
00:35:28Now listen, Bird, and if anything like this happens
00:35:30I'll fire you and all your stuff
00:35:31You understand?
00:35:32Now that's all
00:35:33Yes
00:35:34Look, that's all
00:35:47Oh, Mr. Burns, Mr. Burns
00:35:49I bet you're surprised to see me, aren't you?
00:35:51Yes
00:35:52I'm surprised that you even exist
00:35:59Get out of here before you're carried out
00:36:01Gee, Mr. Burns, you look mad enough to kill
00:36:03Listen, don't put ideas in my head, will you?
00:36:07Look at that
00:36:12I've been the victim of a conspiracy
00:36:14Get out
00:36:15Get out
00:36:16What?
00:36:17Get out!
00:36:18Get out
00:36:23All right, have it your way
00:36:29Gosh, you broke the window
00:36:36Hello, boys
00:36:37Hi, how are you?
00:36:38How are you?
00:36:39Hello, Jake
00:36:40Has Elmer been around today?
00:36:41No
00:36:42He ate from them today
00:36:46I understand the county's thinking of putting him away
00:36:50Is that so?
00:36:51Oh, hello there, Elmer
00:36:53How's your Aunt Bertha?
00:36:55Think you're funny, don't you?
00:36:57Not as funny as you, Elmer
00:36:58How long have you been, Dick? I got a date
00:37:00I'm practically engaged to be married, you know
00:37:03Oh, is that so?
00:37:04Yeah, that's so
00:37:05My uncle's estate is going to be settled a couple more days
00:37:06Then I'll have $10,000
00:37:10$10,000
00:37:11$10,000 and let's get married one, isn't it, Ruby?
00:37:12Listen, if I should say so
00:37:13Who do you marry if you can get with me?
00:37:14Young lady named Betty Harrison?
00:37:16Now, listen
00:37:17No, wait a minute, Elmer
00:37:18Wait a minute, Elmer
00:37:19Wait a minute, Elmer
00:37:20Hold on, Elmer
00:37:21Leave me alone
00:37:22Fine, how do you do?
00:37:23No, wait a minute, Elmer
00:37:24Wait a minute, Elmer
00:37:25Wait a minute, Elmer
00:37:26Wait a minute, Elmer
00:37:27Wait a minute, Elmer
00:37:28Wait a minute, Elmer
00:37:29Wait a minute, Elmer
00:37:30Leave me alone
00:37:31Fine, how do you do?
00:37:33Bringing up a lady's name in a barber shop
00:37:35Well, a bald thing
00:37:37Are you trying to humiliate me by referring I ain't a lady?
00:37:40Well, guys, no, but
00:37:42Come on, come on, Elmer
00:37:44Look at him
00:37:45Frady Camp
00:37:47Is that so?
00:37:48Yes, that's so
00:37:49And if you were such a good newspaper man
00:37:52You'd find out who killed Fuller and why
00:37:55Do you know, Elmer?
00:37:57Well, I got a theory of my own
00:37:59That I'm working on for the Star
00:38:01Yeah, does the Star know about it?
00:38:03Now, wait a minute, I'm gonna be on it
00:38:06All right
00:38:07Don't worry
00:38:08I won't harm him
00:38:13Tell us, Elmer
00:38:14What is your theory?
00:38:16Well
00:38:19The coroner said that Fuller was beaten to death
00:38:21He also had five bullet holes in his back
00:38:24Why would they want to beat a man to death who was already shot five times?
00:38:28You see?
00:38:30Get the idea?
00:38:31Now
00:38:32If
00:38:33If he was thrown from an automobile as a coroner said he was
00:38:37Who threw him ten feet away from the road?
00:38:41You see?
00:38:42You can't answer
00:38:46Can you?
00:38:47Sure I can
00:38:48He wasn't beaten to death at all
00:38:50He fell
00:38:51From an airplane
00:38:52From an airplane
00:38:54After he was shot
00:38:57Why not from the Empire State Building?
00:39:01Now go ahead and laugh, you hyenas
00:39:03But remember, he who laughs laughs
00:39:05Laughs, laughs
00:39:06Laughs
00:39:07Mr. Lane is president of the newest enterprise in this city
00:39:25Frankly, everyone has invested in that enterprise
00:39:27Perhaps
00:39:28Now mind you, I say perhaps
00:39:29There may come a time when you will want to profit by a similar effect
00:39:31If you are entertaining such a thought, my young friend
00:39:32Forget it
00:39:33Now don't interrupt
00:39:34I am not one to show discrimination as a ruler
00:39:35But you, young man
00:39:36Shall not be allowed to purchase one single solitary chair of that stock
00:39:37Robert
00:39:38Once over
00:39:39Lighting
00:39:40I told him
00:39:41The man wasn't shot and thrown from an automobile
00:39:42He fell from an airplane
00:39:43He couldn't answer that
00:39:44If Harvey should win one way
00:39:45If Harvey should win one way
00:39:46If you are entertaining such a thought, my young friend
00:39:47If you are entertaining such a thought, my young friend
00:39:48Forget it
00:39:49Forget it
00:39:50I don't interrupt
00:39:51I am not one to show discrimination as a ruler
00:39:52But you, young man
00:39:53Shall not be allowed to purchase one single solitary chair of that stock
00:39:55Robert
00:39:56Once over
00:39:57Lighting
00:40:03I told him the man wasn't shot and thrown from an automobile
00:40:05He fell from an airplane
00:40:06He fell from an airplane
00:40:07He couldn't answer that
00:40:08If Harvey should win was so smart
00:40:10He'd solve the murder and catch the criminals
00:40:12Instead of fooling everybody about it
00:40:16Oh, hello, Betty
00:40:17Hello, Bill
00:40:18Oh
00:40:19Hello, Betty
00:40:21I brought you some fruit
00:40:23Yeah?
00:40:24That's nice of you
00:40:25You didn't have to bother
00:40:27I'm pretty near well now
00:40:28I know, but I
00:40:29Well, you see, I'm head of the local Red Cross
00:40:32And
00:40:33Well, I'm supposed to do so
00:40:34Have some fruit, Elmer?
00:40:36No, thanks
00:40:37Oh, why don't you two get together?
00:40:38You tell Elmer I'll never speak to him again
00:40:39He says she'll never speak to you again
00:40:40I guess not
00:40:41Then maybe what Harvey Schumann said was true
00:40:43He says
00:40:44He says maybe what Harvey Schumann said was true
00:40:45He says maybe what Harvey Schumann said was true
00:40:47Ask him what Harvey said
00:40:48What?
00:40:49He said they were engaged
00:40:50He said engaged?
00:40:51He said engaged?
00:40:52It's a lie
00:40:53Well, you tell her that he was hoo-rawing me about it
00:40:54He was hoo-rawing Elmer
00:40:55I heard what he said
00:40:56He was hoo-rawing Elmer because Elmer was telling you about his theory
00:40:58About how that man Fuller got killed
00:40:59I was standing over there and I heard every bit of it
00:41:00Well, you tell her that was nothing to hoo-raw about
00:41:01The man fell off the door
00:41:02He said they were engaged
00:41:03He said they were engaged
00:41:04He said they were engaged
00:41:05He said he was hoo-rawing me about it
00:41:07He was hoo-rawing Elmer
00:41:08I heard what he said
00:41:09He was hoo-rawing Elmer because Elmer was telling you about his theory
00:41:12About how that man Fuller got killed
00:41:14I was standing over there and I heard every bit of it
00:41:16Well, you tell her that was nothing to hoo-raw about
00:41:19The man fell from an aeroplane
00:41:22Nothing man playing
00:41:24Maybe it was one of those planes that goes over here every Wednesday night
00:41:28Maybe it was
00:41:30Gosh
00:41:31You tell Elmer for me that if he stopped theorizing and stopped proving
00:41:34He'd get further
00:41:35Goodbye
00:41:36Bill
00:41:37He said if you stopped theorizing and stopped proving he'd get further
00:41:41Goodbye, Bill
00:41:42Gosh
00:41:43Tell her
00:41:44Bill
00:41:45Tell her to me, sweetheart
00:41:46Goodbye, sweetheart
00:41:47Not you
00:41:49Me
00:41:50Gosh
00:41:51Now you bungled the whole thing
00:41:53Gee whilliken
00:41:55Gosh
00:41:56I don't know
00:41:58What you're thinking of
00:42:00Oh, what are you laughing about?
00:42:03Oh, who?
00:42:04Oh, God
00:42:05Oh, God
00:42:06Oh, you are a dead
00:42:24Bill
00:42:26Bill
00:42:27What time is it?
00:42:29Nine o'clock.
00:42:31Hey, we better get going.
00:42:32Those fellows may decide to fly over a bit earlier.
00:42:34Good evening, Elmer.
00:42:36Oh, good evening, Mr. Waddington.
00:42:38Bill?
00:42:39Elmer?
00:42:40We still have a few shares of stock left.
00:42:43And I thought it might be a good idea
00:42:44to place a modest little ad in your paper stating the fact
00:42:48that a little publicity won't hurt us.
00:42:50No, it's very publicity is a thing, Mr. Waddington.
00:42:52I did something else, too, for publicity.
00:42:55Well, well, well, well, well.
00:42:56Yes, sir.
00:42:57I sent your picture to the Chicago Daily Star
00:42:59with a long story on the factory.
00:43:02Well, now, that's fine.
00:43:03That's just lovely.
00:43:05My, my picture?
00:43:08Yes, sir.
00:43:08I snapped it with a candid camera.
00:43:12Isn't that Doc Horton?
00:43:15Yes, sir.
00:43:16It sure is Doc Horton.
00:43:18Looks like our correspondent isn't the only sucker in Claremont.
00:43:21Run the picture and do a story on it, will you?
00:43:26Come in.
00:43:35What did you do, man?
00:43:36What did you do?
00:43:37Mr. Waddington, now, I want to apologize.
00:43:39Now, this is no time for apologies.
00:43:40But I'm going to apologize to Elmer, too.
00:43:42Your apology is accepted.
00:43:43Now, good night.
00:43:45Well, was there anything else?
00:43:47Yes, sir.
00:43:47Well, I was wondering if you'd change your mind
00:43:49about selling me some stuff.
00:43:51Well, now, how much stuff did you want?
00:43:54200 shares.
00:43:56200 shares?
00:43:57That's $5,000.
00:43:58But I thought that you...
00:44:00Very well, your man,
00:44:01but you'll have to make a cash in front.
00:44:03Well, I'll have the cash right here, sir.
00:44:04Oh!
00:44:05Of course.
00:44:06Oh, yes, yes.
00:44:07Certainly.
00:44:08I tell you, boys,
00:44:09these big finnets are no tougher than anyone else.
00:44:11See?
00:44:12See?
00:44:12See?
00:44:13Hello?
00:44:18Yes?
00:44:19Yes, he's here.
00:44:20Just a minute.
00:44:20Hey, Harvey.
00:44:22Chicago's calling.
00:44:23Oh, thanks.
00:44:25Hello, Chicago.
00:44:26This is Harvey Schumann.
00:44:27Schumann?
00:44:28Why have we got that story
00:44:29about Doc Horton selling all that stuff
00:44:30to those Claremont people?
00:44:32Doc Horton?
00:44:33I don't know anything.
00:44:37Waddington.
00:44:39You mean...
00:44:40Jay...
00:44:41Rutherford's Waddington?
00:44:43Yes, sir.
00:44:48Yes, sir.
00:44:50Yes, sir.
00:44:51Oh!
00:44:52Oh!
00:45:10Quiet!
00:45:11Quiet, you folks!
00:45:12We're going to have a little law and order in this town.
00:45:18I ain't giving this man up to nobody.
00:45:21Even if I have to kill him myself.
00:45:29Listen, everybody.
00:45:30Don't believe that the bottom of this.
00:45:31He know about it all the time.
00:45:32Father, stop it.
00:45:33That's not true.
00:45:35Are you sure of that, Harvey?
00:45:36Sure, I'm sure.
00:45:38Even though the story of the Chicago Star about.
00:45:40Harvey, human, that's a lie.
00:45:41Ellen was taken in just like everybody else.
00:45:44Ellen was always being taken in.
00:45:48I tell you, we didn't do it.
00:45:50I saw him heading down the road to the landing field half an hour ago.
00:45:54Running away, huh?
00:45:56Well, what are we waiting for?
00:46:00Wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:46:06Now stop you, Colton.
00:46:07You're going too far.
00:46:09Well, got to get to work.
00:46:11I just thought of something.
00:46:19Let's go.
00:46:21Let's go.
00:46:35Let's go.
00:46:37Come on.
00:46:39Get out of the way.
00:46:41God!
00:46:43Ain't that one of them to come down and see me off?
00:46:45Well, here we go, Bill.
00:46:49Come on! Good luck to me! Better get out of the way!
00:47:19Let me go here! Wait! He didn't do anything, and neither did Elmer!
00:47:24That's what you say!
00:47:25But they've been squintled, too! Elmer will be back!
00:47:28If he doesn't come back, Father will make good every cent!
00:47:31How about that, Harrison? Harrison was in on it, too!
00:47:34Sure, Harrison was the one that took us up to invest our money!
00:47:37Father will stand by Elmer and Bill, won't you, Father?
00:47:40Yes!
00:47:42I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
00:47:45Father will stand by Elmer and Bill, won't you, Father?
00:47:48Yes!
00:47:49Well...
00:48:02Following, all right.
00:48:06Number 23 calling Chicago.
00:48:0823 calling Chicago.
00:48:1023 calling Chicago.
00:48:12All right, 23, go ahead.
00:48:15Another plane has been following us for the last 150 miles.
00:48:18I'm afraid they're figuring on hijacking the cargo.
00:48:24Get the air, please.
00:48:25Yes.
00:48:28Hello.
00:48:29Cargo air police.
00:48:32What's in that cargo?
00:48:33A hundred thousand dollars worth of radio.
00:48:45a hundred thousand dollars worth of radio.
00:48:46Go away!
00:49:00Ah, you fellows, go away!
00:49:02One hundred thousand dollars worth of radio!
00:49:04Got an hour's worth of radio, Captain.
00:49:05And now he'll make it.
00:49:06There's no relief.
00:49:08Mom.
00:49:09Hey, you fellows, go away!
00:49:10Hollis, go away!
00:49:20Hey!
00:49:22Hey!
00:49:24Hey!
00:49:36Hey, go away!
00:49:40See you!
00:49:46Hold on, get out of the air!
00:49:48Get out!
00:49:50Get out out of the air!
00:49:52What the doos do they want me to go down for?
00:50:10Get out of the air!
00:50:12Get out of the air!
00:50:22What's your name?
00:50:24I'm Elmer Lane, correspondent for the Chicago Daily Star.
00:50:28Hey!
00:50:30This guy was following a plane with a hundred thousand dollars worth of radium.
00:50:32Get this gun!
00:50:34Can you identify him?
00:50:36Wait, Mr. Bird!
00:50:38Sit down!
00:50:40Is this the screwball that had his picture in the blade?
00:50:42Hold him a while, will you, Brad?
00:50:44Give him a good scare.
00:50:45I got you.
00:50:50Hello!
00:50:51Hello, Mr. Bird!
00:50:52This is Elmer Lane!
00:50:58You're fired!
00:50:59Hello!
00:51:00Hello!
00:51:01Hello!
00:51:02I tell you, we'll never see him again!
00:51:03Oh, now don't say that!
00:51:04Elmer Lane, come in if you hear me!
00:51:05Elmer Lane, come in if you hear me!
00:51:06Elmer Lane, come in if you hear me!
00:51:07Elmer Lane, come in if you hear me!
00:51:08Elmer Lane, come in if you hear me!
00:51:09He's got one of his wheels, Mr.
00:51:10He's got one of his wheels, Mr.
00:51:11He's got one of his wheels, Mr.
00:51:36And he's got two wheels in the big building!
00:51:44The wheel is missing!
00:51:52My!
00:51:55Hey.
00:51:57He's following us.
00:51:59All right, get the gun ready.
00:52:06I'm afraid he may have run into trouble.
00:52:14What more trouble could he run into?
00:52:16I missed her!
00:52:17Hey!
00:52:30I missed her!
00:52:35What's that?
00:52:36That was Elmer.
00:52:37What is it, Elmer?
00:52:38What is it?
00:52:40Hey, Bill!
00:52:41Hey, Bill!
00:52:43Calling for help!
00:52:44He's calling for Bill!
00:52:46Have you caught the perfume smuggler yet?
00:52:48Guys, no!
00:52:50But I found him!
00:52:52Bill!
00:52:52Bill!
00:52:53Tell him to be careful!
00:52:54Betty says to be careful!
00:52:56Guys, ain't he speaking to me yet?
00:52:58Hey, Bill!
00:52:59Bill!
00:52:59They shot away one of my struts!
00:53:00What must I do?
00:53:00Put the plane on the radio beam control and I'll operate it so you can climb up and fix the
00:53:05struts.
00:53:06You mean I can crawl out on the wing and fix it?
00:53:07You mean I can crawl out on the wing and fix it?
00:53:08Yell!
00:53:09Well, all right, Elmer!
00:53:10I'll go!
00:53:11I'll go!
00:53:12You mean I can crawl out on the wing and fix it?
00:53:13Yell!
00:53:14Well, all right, Elmer!
00:53:15I'll go!
00:53:16He'll go!
00:53:17He'll go!
00:53:18He's going to the right side of my strut!
00:53:19What must I do?
00:53:20Put the plane on the radio beam control and I'll operate it so you can climb up and fix
00:53:23the struts.
00:53:24You mean I can crawl out on the wing and fix it?
00:53:27Yell!
00:53:28Well, all right, Elmer!
00:53:45It's stuck.
00:53:57I told you not to buy that cheap.
00:54:00Hey, will you look at that screwy guy?
00:54:04Bill!
00:54:05Bill!
00:54:06Can't you send someone to help me?
00:54:10Elmer, Elmer.
00:54:13I can't hear you.
00:54:15I can't hear you.
00:54:37We got it fixed?
00:54:41Yes.
00:54:43Get up above us.
00:54:45Hey!
00:55:15Hey!
00:55:45Oh, Bill.
00:55:48Bill.
00:55:49I'm OK now.
00:55:52Elmer, Elmer!
00:55:56We're just off and get in touch with the Chicago Air police.
00:56:05But they don't like me.
00:56:10We're just off to get in touch with the Chicago Air Police.
00:56:14But they don't like me.
00:56:16It was your toll.
00:56:21Calling Chicago.
00:56:23Hello, Chicago.
00:56:25Calling Chicago.
00:56:28Who's calling Chicago?
00:56:30This is number one of the Radio Beam Airplane Company, Incorporated.
00:56:34That's that nut with a shotgun and a homemade airplane.
00:56:37Get off this channel, you dope.
00:56:39But you don't understand.
00:56:41There's an airplane firing at me with a...
00:56:43Why don't you use the shotgun?
00:56:46Well, how could I...
00:56:48Wait a minute.
00:56:49I never thought of that.
00:56:54Fix them.
00:56:54Come on, number one.
00:57:10Come on, number one.
00:57:11Come on, number one.
00:57:13Missed!
00:57:25Come on, number one.
00:57:31Missed!
00:57:34Missed!
00:57:36Missed.
00:57:41He got our propeller.
00:57:44I got him, I got him.
00:57:48Woo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo.
00:57:51He got our propeller.
00:57:53I got him!

00:57:57I got him!
00:58:21I got him!
00:58:31All right, get him on out of here.
00:58:35I'm not kidding, Mr. Burling.
00:58:37This nut was the only guy on the plane.
00:58:39Are you sure about this?
00:58:41It was operating all by itself.
00:58:43No, sir.
00:58:45Some new kind of radio beam idea.
00:58:49Okay.
00:58:59Oh, Bill! Hello, Bill!
00:59:01Betty! Betty! Betty!
00:59:03Bill!
00:59:05Are you hurt? Are you all right?
00:59:07Sure, I'm all right, but...
00:59:09But I'm a little dizzy.
00:59:11I'm a little dizzy.
00:59:13There.
00:59:15There.
00:59:17Get up on that wing!
00:59:19I mean, what's happened to her?
00:59:21Elvis!
00:59:23You've come right on this very instant!
00:59:37Hey! What's all the fuss about?
00:59:39Why, we're all here to welcome Elmer Lane!
00:59:41Hey!
00:59:42Welcoming Elmer Lane!
00:59:43Well, I declare I didn't even know he'd been away!
00:59:46Well, ain't you heard?
00:59:47What's the matter with the hero?
00:59:49Elmer's coming back home.
00:59:50He caught the man who killed Buzz Fuller.
00:59:53The same man who'd been smuggling perfume.
00:59:55He sold the radio beam airplane company for $10 million.
00:59:59We're all going to be rich!
01:00:01What'd you say?
01:00:02I say we're all going to be rich!
01:00:03Oh, stuck in the ditch!
01:00:04Sure I didn't say that!
01:00:05Well, what did you say?
01:00:06Old Reed doesn't call the papers!
01:00:08They're full of it!
01:00:09What are you whispering about?
01:00:11When do you expect him to arrive?
01:00:13He's glad to be here any minute!
01:00:14Are we all here?
01:00:15Why, uh...
01:00:16Why, where's Mr. Warmington?
01:00:18Good freak!
01:00:19He's still in jail!
01:00:20Jail?
01:00:21I'll get him!
01:00:22I'll get him!
01:00:23Pardon me!
01:00:24What?
01:00:25Calling plane number one, Elmer Lane.
01:00:27Hey, Bill!
01:00:28I can't get them people off the field!
01:00:30They ain't got no respect for my bad son or nothing!
01:00:32But you've got to, Sheriff!
01:00:33He can't land unless you do!
01:00:35Dear!
01:00:36Come on, I'll help you!
01:00:38Calling plane number one, Elmer Lane.
01:00:44Hello, hello!
01:00:45Is that you, Elmer?
01:00:46Yep, it's me!
01:00:47Hello, Bill!
01:00:48I'll bet him!
01:00:49Listen, Elmer, you're going to have to circle around a few times.
01:00:54You can't get the people off the field!
01:00:56People?
01:00:57What people?
01:00:58The people that came down to see you land!
01:01:01Come down to see me!
01:01:03Ha!
01:01:04God!
01:01:05There he is!
01:01:06There's Elmer!
01:01:07Hey!
01:01:08Hey!
01:01:09Hey!
01:01:10Hey!
01:01:19Elmer, Elmer!
01:01:20They won't get off the field!
01:01:21You can't land!
01:01:22But what am I going to do?
01:01:24I can't stay up here forever!
01:01:26You can't land with all that crowd on the field!
01:01:29Well, uh, tell him to go back to Chicago!
01:01:31Go back to Chicago!
01:01:32But I have got enough care!
01:01:35Gee!
01:01:36Well, we do!
01:01:43I've got it!
01:01:44Let me see!
01:01:45Elmer, let's circle over to the far side of town and drop in the parachute!
01:01:49Okay!
01:01:50Huh?
01:01:51It's the only thing to do!
01:01:52The crowd will run over to see you and I can bring the plane in on the beam!
01:01:55Yeah!
01:01:56Oh, gosh!
01:01:57But I've never...
01:01:58It's so...
01:01:59Elmer, you must do as you must!
01:02:02Well...
01:02:03It's so...
01:02:12Elmer, you must do as you must!
01:02:13Well...
01:02:14All right!
01:02:32Hey, Bill!
01:02:33Bill!
01:02:34Bill, I'm 2,800 feet high!
01:02:36I guess that's all right!
01:02:38Oh, it's easy!
01:02:39All you have to do is jump, count 10, and then pull the ripcord!
01:02:44Pull the ripcord, count 10, and jump!
01:02:47But, Bill, I...
01:02:49I never did this before!
01:02:51I never had an effect!
01:03:02I never did that!
01:03:24Hey, Bill.
01:03:25Bill!
01:03:26Where is the ripcord?
01:03:29Hey, Bill!
01:03:30Bill!
01:03:39Bill, where's the ripcord?
01:03:49Buddy!
01:04:00Buddy!
01:04:28Good old ground.
01:04:30Good old ground.
01:04:43Oh, Elmer!
01:04:44Darling!
01:04:47Whatever made you jump.
01:04:49It was easy. Once I found a ripcord...
01:04:52Elmer, I'm proud of you, my boys.
01:04:54We're all proud of you.
01:04:55Elmer, I want to be among the first to congratulate you.
01:04:57Thank you, Harvey.
01:04:58I'll bet you'd be surprised to know I got 400 shares of the stock.
01:05:00You have?
01:05:01Sure, see?
01:05:03Well, I'm sorry we can't pay off on this, Harvey.
01:05:06What do you mean?
01:05:07Oh, look!
01:05:08Salt mines in North Dakota.
01:05:11So you're gonna cheat me, are you?
01:05:13Well, let me tell you something, Elmer Lane.
01:05:15Someday the worm will turn.
01:05:16Yeah? Well, why should he?
01:05:18He's the same on both sides.
01:05:19Ha-ha!
01:05:20He's the same on both sides.
01:05:21Ha-ha-ha!
01:05:22Just a moment!
01:05:23Just a moment!
01:05:25Just a moment!
01:05:26Just a moment!
