02:03¶¶
02:33¶¶
02:43We are with the French Underground. My identification, sir.
02:48Oh, what?
02:51General Vinnie Jacquard Reboucher, at your service, mon capitaine.
02:55Oh, how do I know you, General O. Ray, O. Lay, whatever that is you're saying, I don't know you.
03:00And why are you for your caution, sir? It is no wonder they call you the Jungle Fox, sir.
03:05I don't care what the...
03:07They call me the Jungle Fox?
03:11Do not be modest. Everyone has heard of the famous Captain Binghamton, huh?
03:15Oh, yes, you're right. You see, sir, I keep telling you, you've become a legend in your own time.
03:19Perhaps this will convince you, sir. My orders, direct from General de Gaulle.
03:25Oh, de Gaulle. What do you know about that?
03:27To our American allies, this is to introduce the courageous leader of the Underground Movement,
03:32the bearer of these secret orders, General René-Jacques-Henri Boucher.
03:36Thank you, Carpenter. Now, why don't you come around Sunday afternoons and read me the funny, sir?
03:40I'm perfectly capable of reading this thing myself.
03:42Well, sir, I...
03:43Sir, go ahead.
03:44Get out of here. Come on fire.
03:49What's the matter with you?
03:50Oh, I'm sorry, sir, but you know, we in the Underground are trained to burn our secret orders
03:54so they do not fall into the hands of the enemy.
03:56Well, I didn't even get to the part where I was trying to...
03:59I also have here microfilm of documents signed by your own Eisenhower and Montgomery.
04:05Oh, microfilm. Oh, Eisenhower and Montgomery.
04:08Microfilm? Is that what...
04:10I can't make anything out of that, did you? Get me a magnifying glass.
04:14Oh, yes, sir.
04:14There is no time for that. Now is the time for action.
04:17I am already late for my rendezvous with the suicide patrol.
04:20Where did they come?
04:22A suicide patrol?
04:24You're going to see a suicide as well.
04:27Oh, forgive me, General.
04:29I'm very sorry for this bungling numbskull holding us up like this.
04:32Now, what can I do to help you, General?
04:34I have need of a few meager supplies for myself and a handful of patriarchs.
04:39Handful of...
04:40You, uh, you need all of that for a handful of patriarchs?
04:45Oh, you are right.
04:49Forget the spices.
04:51But the rest are all necessities.
04:53Oh, I can see that.
04:54There's food and chocolate bars and waterproof wristwatches.
05:00Yes, sir.
05:01Well, cameras. Why would you need cameras?
05:02I will tell, General, all of your corroboration.
05:06Ah, Captain, I know you are not interested in glory,
05:09but I hope you will accept a little croix de guerre as a token of our esteem.
05:14Oh, a croix de guerre.
05:15Well, I, uh...
05:16That would be something, wouldn't it?
05:19What's wrong with cameras?
05:20Haven't you ever heard of reconnaissance?
05:22But I...
05:22Don't you argue with the, uh, the jungle fox?
05:25The jungle fox.
05:26The jungle fox.
05:27Don't argue with the jungle fox.
05:28Give me that, General.
05:30Here, Lieutenant.
05:30Give me the whole thing there.
05:32You fill these right away, and that's an order.
05:34Fill it.
05:35Yes, sir.
05:35Hi, Chuck.
05:37Hi, Skip.
05:38Hey, how's the O.D.?
05:39Oh, great.
05:39Hey, boy, am I glad to see you.
05:40You'll never guess who's here.
05:41Big Frenchy.
05:42Just went up to see Binghamton.
05:43Big Frenchy?
05:44Yeah.
05:45I thought I recognized his boat.
05:47Why, that squindling sea dog.
05:49Get rid of him, Skip.
05:50It's a favor to me.
05:51This island ain't big enough for two crooks.
05:53Now, listen, you guys wait here.
05:54I'm gonna go up and warn Binghamton before that officer's club is missing.
05:58Make yourself at home, I'll be right back.
06:00La-ta-ti-ta-ta-ta-la-ta-ti-va-ta-ta-ta.
06:05Captain Bingham, can I go?
06:25Mac Hale! My old friend!
06:29Kill me, you thieving dilch rat!
06:31Mac Hale, this hurts me. For you to talk this way to an old friend who is trying to make a living as a poor but honest fisherman.
06:40Fisherman? Ha! Well, I see you've already started fishing. Without permission.
06:47How did that get in there?
06:49The same way... the same way that these got in there. Like flying fish they flew in.
06:57Oh, here we are, General. I've got this.
07:00Mac Hale, what are you... you're the one that's been stealing my chocolate bars.
07:05Try to get away with your gold.
07:06Hey, now wait a minute. Sir, I can't even warn you about this crook.
07:10Crook? You dare call this gentleman a crook? This man is a member of the French...
07:15A fishing fleet, sir.
07:17Oh, I get it. Yeah, fishing fleet.
07:20Fishing fleet?
07:21But, sir, this man is an out-and-out pirate!
07:24Do not be too hard on Mac Hale, Captain.
07:26Over the years he has tried to reform.
07:29The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
07:32Not too weak to give it a shot in my head!
07:34Now, now, now, wait a minute here, Mac Hale. I'm standing here in the middle of this thing.
07:37And besides, don't you dare touch this fine gentleman.
07:40I'll take care of you later. Now you get out of my office.
07:42But, sir!
07:43Out, out, out, out, out, out!
07:45All right, sir. It's your problem, not mine.
07:48But, I got one word of advice for you, sir.
07:52You better hold on to your skivvies.
07:54Oh, he's a terrible man. Imagine saying a word like skivvies in front of a stranger.
08:00For your sakes, I'd give anything to get rid of him.
08:03Why don't you send him out on a mission?
08:05Well, I do send him out on missions, but he always comes back.
08:08I mean now, as a favor to me. And the underground, men like that could ruin everything. Beat him out.
08:17Yes, you're right, but I don't have a mission to send him on right now, General.
08:21Are you sure, Jungle Fox?
08:25Oh, you mean...
08:28A toast to you, Captain. A man of decision.
08:32Oh, thank you, General.
08:34To, to, to, to, to. Call me Frenchy. That is what de Gaulle calls me. What does MacArthur call you?
08:40Oh, uh, well, uh, well, uh, he calls me, uh, Wally a lot. And, uh, I call him Doug.
08:49To you, Frenchy. To you, Doug.
08:51No, no, no. He's Doug. I'm Wally.
08:53Do a bell drink to both of you.
08:58Hey, Skip, what kind of a goofy mission is this?
09:01O'Connell was just a deserted rock. They're in a nip within 500 miles of the place.
09:06Prison company accepted.
09:08Nobody accepted.
09:10Will you get below?
09:11Hey, Skip, we just can't leave that French bandit here.
09:14I'm not going until I bury my piggy bank.
09:16Move.
09:17Come on, get on board.
09:18Garnet, we gotta get Foochie back to our island anyway.
09:21Not you, Chuck. You, the old D, remember?
09:23Oh, yeah, yeah.
09:24Look, Chuck, you, you got a big job to do here. You gotta keep your eye on Big Frenchy.
09:28We wanna find an island here when we get back.
09:30Don't worry, Skip. I'll be on the job.
09:32And then careful with that gun, will ya?
09:34Oh, don't worry, Skip. I always keep the safety on it.
09:36Thank you, Captain.
09:46Oh, did you get the supplies that General Boucher requested?
09:49Yes, sir. They've been delivered to the dock for your inspection before loading.
09:51Oh, good, good. Well, first I've gotta stop at the airstrip. The Admiral just arrived unexpectedly.
09:56Oh, the Admiral, sir?
09:57Yes.
09:58I'll bet he's bringing you congratulations from General de Gaulle, sir.
10:01This certainly is your lucky day, sir.
10:03This could be more than that. This could be the day that I really talk to the Admiral about getting rid of McHale.
10:08Again, sir.
10:09Oh, but this time I've got the perfect replacement for McHale.
10:12I have got a man that knows these waters just as well as McHale does. Big Frenchy.
10:20Big Frenchy? Who's Big Frenchy, sir?
10:22General Boucher to you. If I could get him a sign here with us, well, my troubles would be over.
10:27Oh, I didn't. I'll meet you at the dock. Tell the General to wait for me.
10:30Yes, sir. I'll get the door for you, sir.
10:32Never mind. Does a man that knows how to get rid of McHale look like he can't open a door to you?
10:36Oh, sir. Oh!
10:39Even radar equipment. This is a bigger role than Olandia.
10:42You stick with me. Next week, who knows? The Brooklyn Navy out?
10:46General Boucher, sir. Who?
10:48In public, call me Big Frenchy.
10:50Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I just wanted to inform you that Captain Binghamton will be a little late inspecting this cargo.
10:55Late? Yes, sir. That we'll never do. It's getting close to zero hour.
10:59Oh.
11:02We of the French underground always wear four wristwatches.
11:05Four?
11:06One is set for each time zone.
11:10Oh, I see. Well, don't worry, sir. We'll get you out on time.
11:13The Captain just stopped by the airstrip to talk to Admiral Rogers for a few minutes.
11:16The Admiral, he is here.
11:18Yeah. Unexpected visit east.
11:20Oh, I just remembered. I forgot to make my bed. I gotta run. I'll be back.
11:25See, Admiral.
11:29We better make our own for it.
11:30Not without the supplies. Get the men. We will load them ourselves, eh?
11:33Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
11:39La, la, la, la, la, la.
11:41Okay, Big Frenchy, I got you. One move and I'll let you have it.
11:45Fuck yes.
11:46Yes.
11:47That's right. And the only way these supplies are getting off this dock is over my dead body.
11:51So I better be careful. I mean, you better be careful.
11:55And put your hands up.
11:57Hey!
11:58I know you're there, but...
11:59Pardon.
12:00Yeah.
12:02There is no need for violence, monsieur.
12:04I would not stand a chance against a man of steel like you.
12:10Me? Really?
12:11Do not be modest. Everyone has heard of the famous Ensign Park era.
12:15They have?
12:16I will have to tell you the real reason I am here. The reason to see your Captain Binghamton.
12:22I am with the French underground.
12:24You are the French.
12:27Oh, come on now.
12:28Oh, I admire you for your caution.
12:30It is no wonder they call you the Jungle Fox, eh?
12:34Yeah, well, Sticks and Stones, but...
12:37The Jungle Fox.
12:39Mmm.
12:40Here are my orders direct from your very own General Eisenhower.
12:44General Eisenhower?
12:46You know, he's pretty important.
12:47Very important, men.
12:49Yeah, I see where it says it.
12:50Hey!
12:52They're on fire!
12:53My mission is top secret.
12:55Oh, yeah.
12:56We couldn't let the enemy know.
12:57What...
12:58So, you see, we must move and...
13:00Pardon.
13:01We must move and move quickly.
13:02Oh, yeah.
13:03Sure, because...
13:04You know something.
13:05Commander McHale thought you guys were stealing this stuff.
13:07Oh, you're such a suspicious man.
13:10Now, can we start the loading?
13:13Yeah, we better get...
13:14Oh, I don't know, though.
13:15I'm still OD.
13:16I better check with somebody.
13:17Oh!
13:18I'm glad you mentioned that.
13:20I almost forgot the big news.
13:22New orders from your own Admiral Olsey.
13:26Admiral Olsey?
13:27You are no longer the OD.
13:30You have been transferred to my commander.
13:34You are now...
13:36Major Parker of the French Underground.
13:40Well, if I didn't know how to shave.
13:43Now, Major, can we get on with the...
13:49Sure, yeah, my golly.
13:51Poor...
13:52Oh, uh...
13:53You forgot to burn the orders.
13:54Oh!
13:55Yes.
13:56You are so clever.
13:57I am so stupid.
13:58While, uh...
13:59The Jungle Fox...
14:00It's the Jungle Fox.
14:01Boy, wait till the Skipper finds out about this.
14:02From Ensign to Major, all in one day.
14:04Men, I want you to meet our new supply officer.
14:05Major Charles Jungle Fox Parker.
14:07This fearless man of destiny has volunteered to help us load and to lead us through dangerous waters to victory.
14:11Major, I am proud of you.
14:13General, we have nothing to fear, but fear itself.
14:14Men, I promise to leave you with craft and cunning.
14:16After all, they...
14:17Don't call me the
14:42Alley, don't call me the Jungle Fox for nothing.
14:45All right, now, let's get the boat loaded.
14:48Alley, Alley.
14:49Alley, Alley, Alley.
14:51Oh, Alley.
14:57What do we need him for?
15:00For two reasons.
15:02One, to help us make our escape in Errori, eh?
15:05Two, McHale is out there somewhere.
15:08If he tries to stop us, we have that Jungle Fox as a hostage.
15:12You American sailors, help us Frenchmen load the boat.
15:15On the double, on the double, Alley, Alley.
15:19You said this scheme of mine wouldn't work.
15:22We are getting better service here than we got in Hollandia.
15:25And not only at Hollandia, but Samar, Milne Bay,
15:29those black marketeers have wiped us out at three supply bases.
15:34Can you imagine an officer under my command?
15:37Stupid enough to hand over government supplies to a fast-talking French phony?
15:42Uh, Hollandia and Samar and Milne, please.
15:46Captain Marshall, Captain Bishop, and Captain Corbett,
15:50who are now Ensign Marshal, Ensign Bishop, and Seaman Corbett.
15:55He even handed over radar equipment.
15:59Radar.
16:00You seen any Frenchmen around here, Binghamton?
16:04Oh, yeah, no, no, no, sir.
16:06No Frenchmen, no, no.
16:07That was all right.
16:09Now, why did you rush up here to tell me?
16:11My executive officer said it had something to do with a man to replace McHale.
16:15Oh, yeah, yes, well, uh...
16:17Now, you know how I feel about McHale.
16:20Who do you suggest to replace a man like that?
16:22Who do I suggest?
16:24Well, uh, uh, uh, Carpenter.
16:27Carpenter?
16:28L. Roy Carpenter?
16:30That klutz?
16:32He doesn't even know how to make up his own bed.
16:34Oh, he's been awfully neat about that lady, Admiral.
16:37He takes about three corners of the sheet,
16:38and he pulls it very tightly, very carefully.
16:40Binghamton, tell me something.
16:42And I want an honest answer,
16:44as you're an officer and a gentleman.
16:46Are you drunk?
16:47It's gone, sir.
16:52It is gone.
16:53The Frenchman's boat is gone.
16:54Oh, thank you for the six o'clock news.
16:56I don't know what I'd do without you, you...
16:58you clutz.
17:01Sailor.
17:01Sir?
17:02What happened to that French boat?
17:04It left, sir, about a half hour ago,
17:05right after we loaded it,
17:06under the orders of Major Parker.
17:09Major Parker?
17:10Sailor, are you drunk?
17:11No, sir, haven't you heard?
17:12He's a major now on the French underground.
17:14When they left, he went with them.
17:15That is the most ridiculous thing I've...
17:19All right, carry on, carry on.
17:22This is beginning to add up, Carpenter.
17:25It's another one of McHale's plots.
17:29Here's McHale, sir.
17:35Mission accomplished, Captain, the Docano.
17:37All right, you're under arrest now, McHale.
17:39Arrest this man, get him, arrest him.
17:41Arrest? What for, Captain?
17:43Oh, this is the end of the line, McHale.
17:44Well, I've got the goods on you this time,
17:46you black marketeer.
17:48Black marketeer?
17:50That's what it's going to say on your cell door.
17:53Your accomplice, Big Frenchie,
17:54just left here with half of my warehouse.
17:57Accomplice?
17:58But, Captain, I wasn't even in this.
18:00Look, I was the one who tried to warn you about that pirate.
18:03Yeah, that's part of the plot.
18:04You know whatever you say, I do just the opposite.
18:07I've got the goods on all of you.
18:08Your contact man, Parker,
18:10he's gone with Frenchie and his gang of thieves,
18:12but the rest of you are going to stay on trial.
18:15Parker left with them?
18:16Those dirty cutthroats.
18:18Yeah, they must have grabbed him as a hostage.
18:19Poor Mr. Parker's a goner.
18:21All right, you men, that's a great performance.
18:23You should have enlisted in the USO,
18:25but now you're going to the brig.
18:27Get down off of there, that's an order.
18:28Sorry we can't oblige you, Captain,
18:30but Mr. Parker's life may be in danger.
18:31Take it, turn him over.
18:32Wait a minute, you'll come back here.
18:34Stop by tying it.
18:35All right, give me a hand, All right.
18:40Get him out of here.
18:41All right.
18:42You men, take hold.
18:43Quick, quick.
18:43Quick.
18:44Quick.
18:44Quick.
18:44Quick.
18:44Quick.
18:45Okay, you guys,
19:04we don't have much time.
19:05We didn't beat French in by much.
19:07Now, first, we can't use guns.
19:10Secondly, we can't let them see us
19:12and they're liable to hurt Chuck.
19:13So, we've got to round them up
19:15without laying one hand on them.
19:17Well, how do we do that?
19:19Look, have I ever failed you?
19:21No.
19:23Well, I've failed you now.
19:24I haven't the slightest idea
19:26how we're going to do it.
19:31Unless.
19:32Yes?
19:33Yes.
19:34Here they come, boys.
19:39All right, lay low.
19:40This is it.
19:41Come on, get, get.
19:45All right, let's get this unloaded
19:46before the gendarmes show up.
19:48Yeah.
19:50Gendarmes?
19:51Hey, isn't that French for police?
19:52Oh, no, no, no, no.
19:54It's a man's name.
19:56In your country,
19:57the traitor was
19:58Monsieur Benedict Donald.
19:59In our country,
19:59it was a monsieur
20:00gendarme.
20:02Oh, my God.
20:13Oh.
20:13Oh, my God.
20:43Be careful, Major.
20:47Oh, yeah.
20:48Oh, boy, I almost blew everything.
21:13Oh, my God.
21:43Skipper, is that you?
21:45Hey, what are you guys doing?
21:46I know you're out there, MacHare.
21:50Now you come out with your hands up or you are minus one and then.
21:55Major.
21:56Hold it, hold it.
21:59I know French and he means it.
22:00Hey, what's going on here, General?
22:02I demand an explanation.
22:03You've been taken, Chuck.
22:05Frenchy doesn't work for the underground.
22:06He's in business for himself in the black market.
22:10Black market?
22:12Well, now, if that's so, General Boucher, I demand that you return yourself.
22:16That's smart.
22:18Chuck, don't let him get your gun.
22:22Oh, my God.
22:22Oh, yeah.
22:23Give me that.
22:27All right, MacHare.
22:28Thank you very much.
22:30Now I won't need this pigsticker anymore.
22:33And thank you, Frenchy, for solving our problems.
22:37Now we can go closer, boys.
22:38Oh, I wouldn't do that if I were you, Skip.
22:41Neither would I, MacHare.
22:43Ah, now don't worry there, Chuck.
22:45He may have your gun, but I've got your bullets.
22:52I took them out this morning after you nearly shot your leg off, remember?
22:59Sacrebleu can fight such stupidity.
23:03Hey, Skip, pick on Spinghamton, the admiral.
23:11All right, MacHare, I've got you and your gang of thieves this time.
23:14You're all under arrest.
23:17Skip, you better get me back my gun.
23:19I'm in enough trouble as this.
23:20Oh, relax, Chuck.
23:22Let them yell.
23:22We got nothing to worry about.
23:24Yeah, I guess you're right.
23:25We did capture Big Frenchy.
23:26Boy, it's a good thing you guys took the bullets, at least.
23:31Oh, is that a pick?
23:33My fault, Skip.
23:37I couldn't bear to leave Mr. Parker alone without any bullets, so I put a few back in.
23:54You know, it's worth a hole in my hat to round up this gang of black marketeers.
23:59McHale Parker, I'm proud of you.
24:01Well, thank you, sir.
24:02We're glad we'll be of help.
24:03All right, men, let's get these fellas to the police station.
24:05Bye-bye, sir.
24:07That was very clever of you, McHale.
24:10No wonder they call you the Jungle Fox.
24:12Come on, come on, get out of here, and don't bother saying au revoir.
24:18Let's just say goodbye.
24:21Toodaloo.
24:21You may have fooled the Admiral, but you're not fooling me.
24:27They don't call me the Jungle Fox for nothing.
24:29Wait a minute.
24:30I'm the Jungle Fox.
24:31You're the Jungle Jackass when I get through with you.
24:33I'm calling for a thorough investigation.
24:35I don't intend to rest until I get to the bottom of this.
24:38Splash!
24:39The End
25:09The End
