00:00Why do you play that for?
00:05Come on, Gro, quit fooling with you, you got it.
00:07Okay, okay, I just want to get a chop so I don't miss any of the ball scores.
00:10Hey, here it is.
00:11Good evening, all you brave American fighting men in the South.
00:15Hiya, baby.
00:16Oh, good old Madam Butterfly.
00:17How's everything at Tojo Land, sweetie?
00:19This is Nippon Nancy once again.
00:22Mike's side with your favorite recordings and news from the home front.
00:26First of all, you Brooklyn boys, the Dodgers defeated the Giants 5-2.
00:32Give me some cards here, come on.
00:34Too bad none of you will get to see the World Series.
00:38But yours is not to reason why.
00:40Yours is but to do and die.
00:44But now, on to more pleasant things.
00:47How about a musical selection for you Navy boys out there on Taratupa?
00:51Go, go, go!
00:52A little dove there now, is it?
00:55Well, it might get pretty hot before we're through with you.
00:58But then, we don't want to upset Captain Binghamton now, do we?
01:01We all know his indigestion is bad enough already.
01:04She's picking on Binghamton again.
01:07All right, store it, store it, we're missing it, come on.
01:09Are you men on Taratupa amazed to learn how much information we have about you?
01:14If you had any idea how much we really knew, it'd make your hair stand on end.
01:19That I'd like to see.
01:20Ha ha ha ha!
01:50Now hear this.
02:06I have just heard from the admiral.
02:09And this is the last time that I intend to be chewed out because of a Japanese blabbermouth.
02:14There is an enemy espionage agent on this base.
02:18And I intend to find out who he is.
02:21This isn't the first time that this Yokohama Yetta or whatever she calls herself is taking a shot at me.
02:28A nip on Nancy, sir.
02:29Oh, shut up. I know what she calls herself.
02:32If she knows so much about what is going on in my insides,
02:36then it's feasible that she knows how many ships and guns that we've got here.
02:40Gentlemen, that is your assignment.
02:43Get on the ball, find this leak and plug it and get out of here.
02:46That's an order and dismissed.
02:48McHale.
02:53Sir.
02:53Wait a minute.
02:55Yes, sir.
02:59Captain, maybe those fortune cookies are what's knocking out your stomach, sir.
03:03Oh, don't be silly.
03:04My wife sends these to me from our favorite restaurant.
03:08I've been eating these for years.
03:10I didn't invite you to stay to have a cookie clutch.
03:14Sir McHale, you and I know that you command the biggest bunch of thieves in the Navy.
03:20Now, isn't it just possible that one of them to pick up a little loose change might be peddling tidbits of information to Tokyo?
03:28Now, just a second, Captain.
03:30Captain, maybe my boys ain't exactly all spit and polish all the time, but every one of them is a loyal true blue American.
03:35All right, McHale, all right.
03:37Keep your shirt on.
03:39Torn as it is.
03:40I think you'll admit that you do have a rather strange bunch of natives and whatnots popping in and out of that place of yours over there.
03:50Now, don't you think maybe one of them has a little drop of Japanese blood in him somewhere along the line there?
03:56Now, Captain, I assure you that there isn't a drop of Japanese blood within 500 miles of my base.
04:01Well, every time that I...
04:02What is it?
04:03Tell me.
04:03Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye.
04:05No, nothing, sir. I was just thinking about something else.
04:07Oh, McHale, I am not as well a man as I would like to be.
04:12My blood pressure has shot up to 174.
04:15Now, I insist that you tell me...
04:17No, no, no, Captain, look, I promise you that I'll make a thorough security check on my island.
04:21I give you my word as an officer and a gentleman.
04:23Well, that's two counts you miss, sir. I'm right there.
04:27I'm going to go down to settle. Dismiss.
04:30Yes, sir.
04:34Holy man. Thanks for the cookie.
04:38Thanks for the cookie.
04:46Oh, get away for the weekend.
04:52I don't see him.
04:53Besides, it can't be Fuji, even if he is Japanese.
04:56No, he'd never be a spy.
04:57He's our pal.
04:58Yeah, you never can tell, O.T.
05:00Shh, shh.
05:06Good morning, gentlemen.
05:08Good morning, Coach.
05:09Good morning.
05:09Lovely day.
05:10Brunch will be ready in 15 minutes.
05:15Thanks, Fuji.
05:15Frankly, I don't know what to think.
05:23Well, as far as I'm concerned, Fuji may be Japanese, but I think he's a nice guy.
05:27Hey, I got it all figured out, Skip.
05:29Fuji couldn't possibly be a Japanese spy.
05:31Why not?
05:32Because he looks like a Japanese spy.
05:35Oh, wait a minute.
05:36I've seen a lot of those spy movies.
05:38And the guilty guy is always somebody you'd never suspect.
05:41Now, if we had a butler, then he'd have to work.
05:44Hey, houseboy is just like a butler.
05:46I don't buy it.
05:47Personally, I think Fuji's a 100% loyal deserter.
05:50But besides, there's no way for him to get messages out.
05:53Skip, they're right.
05:54Now, Fuji couldn't do anything like that.
05:55Okay, okay.
05:56Hold it, you guys.
05:58Now, look.
05:58I agree with all you fellas.
06:00Fuji's a great guy, and we trust him.
06:03But just the same, I think we better keep our eyes open.
06:14Oh, my dear pumpkin.
06:16Little do you realize what a weight your teddy bear carries on his shoulders.
06:22You know that I'm not a complaining man.
06:25But wait until you hear what happened to me yesterday.
06:30Oh, excuse me, pumpkin.
06:35Hello again, American fighting men.
06:38This is Nippon Nancy again,
06:41bringing you some of the latest record releases
06:43to help soothe your lonely hours.
06:47Take heart, you boys all over the South Pacific.
06:49It will all be over soon.
06:51Enjoy the time you have left.
06:53Relax.
06:54Especially you, Captain Binghamton.
06:56A man whose blood pressure is 174
07:00should learn to take things easier.
07:02Oh, you're right, my dear.
07:05I've got...
07:05I don't see all my blood pressure.
07:08That's it exactly, Carpenter.
07:09It's 174.
07:10No, no, Captain.
07:12Calm yourself.
07:13Oh, you shut up.
07:15You think how funny you gives a gossip monger, you?
07:19I tell you, Carpenter,
07:20you're lucky you're just a lieutenant.
07:22Believe me,
07:23you don't have the whole Japanese empire after you.
07:26I think they can wear me down, Carpenter,
07:28because if they do,
07:29then Taratupa would go.
07:31And if Taratupa goes,
07:32the whole South Pacific could go.
07:34Oh, hello, Admiral.
07:40What do I owe the pleasure of this call, sir?
07:42Never mind the soft soap, Binghamton.
07:44What the devil's going on at your place?
07:47How do the Japanese know so much
07:48about your blasted insides?
07:50Well, I don't know, sir.
07:51We're working on that.
07:54Yes, sir, with a tight chip.
07:56Yes, sir.
07:58Get the lead out of my...
07:59Yes, sir.
08:01Goodbye, sir.
08:01Thank you, sir.
08:03Oh.
08:05Is it that bad, sir?
08:07Where could she have found out
08:09about your blood pressure?
08:12Of course.
08:14I told McHale yesterday,
08:17and today,
08:18that Oriental Mata Hari,
08:20she's broadcasting it to the world.
08:22Oh, surely, sir,
08:23you don't think that Commander McHale...
08:24I don't think he's a traitor.
08:25No, I know he's a traitor.
08:27Mixed up in this somewhere,
08:28someplace, somehow,
08:29but how am I going to get the evidence?
08:32Sir,
08:32perhaps you could ask G2
08:34for a counter-espionage agent.
08:36Oh, that wouldn't do any good.
08:37McHale would be suspicious of a newcomer.
08:39It's got to be somebody
08:40that's already on his island.
08:42I think I've got just a man.
08:47Parker,
08:50I am going to give you an opportunity
08:54that history affords to very few.
08:57You read me?
08:58Uh, loud and clear, sir.
08:59I am going to give you the opportunity
09:02of choosing between the possibility
09:04of receiving a citation
09:05or facing a firing squad.
09:09Now, what's your prefer?
09:10Well, any nitwit knows the answer to that, sir.
09:13Uh-huh.
09:13Well, I'm not talking to just any nitwit.
09:16I'm talking to you.
09:17Now, what'll it be?
09:18You want to be a live hero
09:20or a dead ensign?
09:21Well, a live hero, sir.
09:23You sure?
09:23Oh, I'm positive, sir.
09:24You see, I told my mother
09:25to be home right after the war.
09:27Oh, no, sir.
09:29Well, if you ever want to see
09:30your mother again,
09:31you're going to follow orders.
09:32Do you understand that?
09:32Yes, sir.
09:34I'm assigning you as G2,
09:36counter-espionage.
09:38From now on,
09:39you are my counter-spy
09:40on McHale's base.
09:41McHale?
09:42You want me to spy
09:43on Commander McHale?
09:45Oh, gee, sir.
09:46Oh, gee, sir, my Aunt Tilly.
09:49Somebody in this area
09:50is playing footsie
09:51with the Japanese.
09:51I'm sure it couldn't
09:53be Commander McHale, sir.
09:54You see, he's a staunch patriot.
09:56Oh, staunch patriot, my eye.
09:58He's been living
09:59on these islands so long
10:00that by now
10:01he could be worshipping volcanoes.
10:04Besides, Parker,
10:05he hates me.
10:06You know that's true,
10:06don't you hate me?
10:07Huh?
10:08Well, if you want my opinion...
10:09I don't want your opinion!
10:11I want your cooperation.
10:14I just want to know
10:15where you stand, Parker.
10:17Do you stand with
10:18Mikado McHale
10:19and his Japanese buddies?
10:21Or do you stand with me
10:24and the United States
10:26of America?
10:28Well, sir,
10:29I am an officer
10:29of the United States Navy,
10:31but...
10:31Good, you had me fooled
10:32there for a while.
10:34All right, Parker,
10:35from now on
10:36you are counter-espionage
10:37and McHale is a traitor.
10:39Now, that's your assignment.
10:40You get the evidence,
10:41get out there and dig,
10:42and that's an order.
10:43But, sir...
10:44Don't you but serve me, Parker.
10:45You better come through
10:46this time
10:46because if you foul up...
10:48boom-boom.
10:52Uh, yes, sir.
10:54Boom-boom.
10:55Ha, ha, ha.
11:25Ha, ha, ha.
11:55Ha, ha, ha.
12:25Ha, ha, ha.
12:56So that's it, huh?
12:57Um, that's what?
12:58You rascal, you were sneaking in here to take a look at Miss Wild Rice, huh?
13:03Yeah, well, I just thought...
13:05Miss who?
13:08Miyoshi Yakamuri, Miss Wild Rice of 1938.
13:11Says so right there.
13:12Beautiful, huh?
13:13Says that, huh?
13:14Uh, you, uh, you read Japanese, Skip?
13:18Yeah, my ship used to put in Yokohama every so often, and, uh...
13:24Hey, what's going on here, Chuck?
13:27Going on where?
13:28Come on, come on, boy.
13:30Speak up, speak up.
13:32Hey, what's that around your middle?
13:34Nothing.
13:34That's slug in your gut!
13:35What are you doing with an automatic in your belt?
13:45Well, well...
13:46Why haven't I heard something?
13:47What's going on?
13:48Who's doing all that shit?
13:49What's the matter?
13:49All right, you guys.
13:52All right, Chuck, what's this all about?
13:54Don't you think you'd better start talking?
13:55Well, Skip, he made me do it.
13:57He gave me an order.
13:57Binghamton gave me a direct order.
14:00A direct order to do what?
14:02I'm a counter-espionage spy.
14:05Counter-espionage?
14:07You mean you're spying on us?
14:09On us?
14:10What's wrong?
14:10How do you like that, a company man?
14:12All right, all right, quiet down.
14:14I know you guys got work to do, so why don't you go ahead and do it?
14:17Come on, shove off.
14:17I was only doing my job, you guys.
14:21No offense.
14:22No offense?
14:24You'll hear from my attorney in the morning.
14:47Howdy, shh.
15:01There's McHale.
15:03Uh, who, sir?
15:05McHale.
15:06He's the heavyset fella.
15:07He's the lieutenant.
15:08Oh, McHale.
15:09You're supposed to follow.
15:10Uh, yes, sir.
15:11Well, um, I'm not quite sure, sir.
15:14Sure, Parker, as an espionage agent, you'd make a good chicken flicker.
15:18Just watch.
15:19You see, what happened was, I don't care what happened.
15:21Just tell me where he is the last time you saw him, and that's an order.
15:24Uh, yes, sir.
15:25Well, um, he was headed into the jungle.
15:27Ah-ha.
15:28The jungle.
15:29Huh?
15:29Did it ever occur to you that he might be going into the jungle to have a rendezvous?
15:35With a submarine, maybe.
15:37No.
15:38Uh, I'll tell you why, sir.
15:39Say that.
15:39I'll tell you why.
15:40Now, we're gonna go and find him.
15:42You come with me and meet me in the bushes.
15:44In the, in the, in the bu-
15:46Shh, nitwit.
15:54Shh.
15:59You know, it'll be perfectly frank.
16:01You keep your voice on.
16:02Keep moving.
16:03Keep moving.
16:07Whoops.
16:09Did you see something?
16:10Uh, no, sir.
16:11I, I, I thought I saw something, but I guess it's nobody, sir.
16:13Nobody.
16:13Well, let me have a look.
16:14Uh, no, I, I couldn't do that, sir.
16:16Why not?
16:16Get that thing out of my face.
16:18What's the matter with you?
16:19Oh, well, sir, uh, one of the boys has been swimming in.
16:22He doesn't have any clothes on.
16:24I can take it.
16:25After all, this is war, you know.
16:27Now, get this thing out of my face.
16:29Ah, there's McHale on the beach.
16:33He's talking to a Japanese.
16:35You see that?
16:36He's a, a Japanese?
16:38Parker, the man, he's talking to the Japanese.
16:40Uh, what man, sir?
16:43Parker, have you been hitting the hair tonic?
16:46Oh, no, sir.
16:47No, sir.
16:47I wouldn't do that.
16:47Of course not.
16:50Look how buddy-buddy they are.
16:52How buddy-buddy who is, sir?
16:55Parker, are you trying to make me think I've lost my marbles?
16:59Well, sir, uh, you know you have been working kind of hard lately.
17:02Now, I feel that...
17:02So that's it.
17:03So that's it.
17:04You've gone over to the enemy, have you?
17:06Huh?
17:06Hanson, you stand right there, and don't you move.
17:09Don't you move.
17:10But, sir...
17:11You move.
17:12You move.
17:17Hey, Skip.
17:18Condition red.
17:19Condition red.
17:19Hey, Chuck, what are you doing here?
17:21I was here with Captain Binghamton.
17:23He made me come, Skip, and he saw you and Fuji talking together.
17:25What?
17:26Holy Hannah.
17:27You can't say dog, eh?
17:28I tried to convince him he was having hallucinations, Skip, but I don't think he bought it.
17:31Well, where is he now?
17:32Went back to main side.
17:33Hey, what were you and Fuji talking?
17:34No, no, never mind, never mind.
17:35We haven't got time for that now.
17:37We're in enough trouble as it is.
17:38Come on, let's get going.
17:39Come on, let's go.
17:40Sir, Admiral Reynolds has been trying to reach you for an hour.
17:45That's fine, Dad Carpenter.
17:46Get me the officer of the deck.
17:47Tell him to fall out the guard.
17:49Pull the arm and ready to shove off in five minutes.
17:51But, sir, the Admiral's flying in.
17:52He says he wants to speak to you, and it's urgent.
17:53I can't help that, Carpenter.
17:55I can't wait.
17:55This is Condition Red, man.
17:56Condition Red.
17:57If the Admiral wants me, I'll be over at McHale's Island.
18:00Breaking up a spy ring.
18:05Why can't I just hide in the hills?
18:07No, no, not this time, boy.
18:08Binghamton's going to go over this island with a vacuum cleaner.
18:11And have they ever found you here?
18:12Hey, Skip, Skip, it's Binghamton.
18:13We're the boatload of Marines.
18:15Oh, get out of here, Fout.
18:16Get out of here.
18:17Come on, you guys.
18:18Stash this canoe, quick.
18:19Hurry up.
18:23Maybe the Fout can hear you.
18:24All right, McHale, you stand right where you are.
18:39You and your entire command are under arrest.
18:42Surround them.
18:43Surround them.
18:45Look casual.
18:46Look casual.
18:46Well, it sure is a beautiful day, isn't it?
18:50May I ask, sir, what all this fuss is about?
18:54Oh, yes, you may ask.
18:56And I'll be delighted to tell you.
18:58You're all going to have your neck stretched for high trees.
19:01And that's what all this fuss is about.
19:03Oh, now, just a second there, Captain.
19:05Now.
19:05You, just a second there, ex-commander.
19:09Captain, now.
19:10Why don't we go to my hut and talk things over?
19:11No, you don't, you're a hut.
19:13You men search this island.
19:14There still may be a Japanese espionage agent around, huh?
19:19And he's no hallucination, is he, Mr. Parker?
19:22Uh, well, sir, uh...
19:23I didn't sneeze, you dummy.
19:31It's my sinuses kicking back on me, sir.
19:34Sorry, sir, I take back that disintight.
19:36I'll knock it off.
19:37I could have sworn that that sneeze could...
19:40Carpenter, what are you doing here?
19:50I don't need any help.
19:51I've got this whole bunch of traitors all rounded up all by myself.
19:55And I expect to have that Japanese agent in custody pretty soon, too.
20:00What's the matter with you?
20:01Something bothering you?
20:02Yes, sir.
20:04What is it?
20:05What, what, what, what?
20:06Captain Binghamton, sir.
20:08Yes.
20:08You're under arrest.
20:10Oh, good, good.
20:12I knew you'd be glad to hear that I'm on.
20:15What's the matter with you?
20:16Have you been drinking?
20:17Well, I did have a cup of drinking, sir.
20:19No, sir, not me, sir.
20:20I'm sorry, sir, but there's a direct order from Admiral Reynolds.
20:22He called on the scramble phone, sir.
20:24The Admiral, why would the Admiral want to arrest me?
20:27Well, I'm terribly sorry, sir, but the charge is...
20:29suspicion of espionage.
20:33I'm not the spy.
20:35He's the spy.
20:36The Admiral must be out of his skull or something.
20:39Yes, I'm sure you're right, and he's coming here by plane,
20:41and you can tell him yourself, sir.
20:43Captain Binghamton, sir,
20:44you've always been so kind-hearted and understanding.
20:46I'm sure you'll understand this.
20:49Take him away.
20:50Take him away?
20:50Take your hands off me.
20:52What's wrong with your head?
20:53This is outrageous, Captain.
20:55Why would the Admiral...
20:56I'm not inspired.
20:57They're the spies.
20:58Now, get out of the boat.
20:59This is my fault.
21:00What is this?
21:01Commander McHale, you'd better come along, too.
21:03The Admiral wants you there for the inquiry.
21:05I don't get it, copy.
21:06What's this all about?
21:08Well, a Japanese espionage ring has just been broken in San Diego.
21:11They were working out of a Chinese restaurant.
21:13The FBI's been watching that restaurant for months.
21:15And Captain Binghamton's wife is one of the best customers in the restaurant.
21:19No, his wife?
21:21His wife.
21:22Intelligence thinks that information may have been passed back and forth.
21:26In fortune cookies.
21:28Fortune cookies.
21:29Nasty business, Commander.
21:31Nasty, nasty business.
21:33Imagine.
21:34In fortune cookies.
21:36Nasty business.
21:37Nasty.
21:44Ten, hut!
21:47As you were.
21:48Captain, this is the most outrageous thing that's ever happened to me.
21:51I have served my country well and faithfully.
21:52And to think that I should be accused of espionage, well, we're going to be free.
21:55At ease, Binghamton, calm down.
21:57I've just received a report from San Diego, which clears you of all charge of espionage.
22:01Oh, well, naturally, naturally.
22:03Now, you tell them about your little meeting with the enemy agent.
22:05Go on, tell them, tell them, tell them.
22:07Who, who, me, sir?
22:07Yes, you, sir.
22:08Come on now, Binghamton.
22:09You're not accusing McHale of treason, are you?
22:11Well, I certainly am.
22:13If the Japanese aren't getting their information from him, who are they getting it from?
22:17Your wife.
22:18See, I...
22:19Pumpkin?
22:21His pumpkin?
22:22I mean, his wife.
22:23These were just flown into me.
22:24They're photostats of your letters to Mrs. Binghamton.
22:26Well, where did you get those admirals?
22:28A man's letters to his wife are highly personal.
22:30Well, you can see that's personal.
22:31I wouldn't want any...
22:32What are you doing?
22:33Not when they furnish Nippon Nancy with propaganda for her broadcasts.
22:37Well, Nippon Nancy, what has she got to do with this?
22:39You've been writing her material for her.
22:41It's all here.
22:43Listen.
22:44Quote, my indigestion is worse than ever.
22:47End quote.
22:48Here's another one.
22:49Quote, you wouldn't believe it, Pumpkin, but my blood pressure has shot up to 174.
22:55End quote.
22:56Don't go away.
22:56There's one more.
22:58I'm beginning to suspect that McHale and his men are planning mutiny.
23:02Believe me, they're out to get your teddy bear again.
23:06End quote.
23:07I still don't see how Nippon Nancy could...
23:09It's obvious.
23:10Whenever your wife dined at that San Diego restaurant, she blabbed about you and your problems.
23:15And those Japanese spies picked up on it and...
23:18Wife of mine and a big mouth.
23:23Well, I've wasted enough time around here already.
23:25Hey, bye, McHale.
23:27Bye-bye, sir.
23:28Bye.
23:29Oh.
23:30So long, teddy bear.
23:39McHale.
23:40Sir?
23:41Wait a minute.
23:42Yes, sir.
23:45McHale, I'm tired.
23:47My nerves are shot.
23:48I don't want to play any more games.
23:51Would you give me a straight answer?
23:53Just for once, please.
23:55I'd be happy to, sir.
23:58Now, were you or were you not on that beach this afternoon?
24:03Well, I...
24:04Yes, sir.
24:08Uh-huh.
24:09Now, the Sunday school truth now.
24:11Were you or were you not alone?
24:16Are you sure you want me to answer that, sir?
24:18No.
24:22No.
24:24Now, we'll just forget it.
24:29Bye-bye, sir.
24:31Oh, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap.
24:34I could just scream.
24:35Oh, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap
