00:00:00The End
00:00:30And a good good afternoon ladies and gentlemen
00:00:57This is Sam Hayes speaking from the hangar
00:00:59Of the Fleming Grant Airways Corporation
00:01:01During recent years the whole world has become
00:01:03More and more transportation conscious
00:01:05News has constantly flashed the experiments
00:01:07In revolutionary methods of transportation
00:01:09Gathered before me are foreign diplomats
00:01:11Civic dignitaries, high-ranking army officials
00:01:14And distinguished industrial leaders
00:01:16All here to witness
00:01:17The christening of the new mistress of the air
00:01:20Destined to make history
00:01:21In transatlantic air travel
00:01:23The wild goose
00:01:24During the past few years we've witnessed
00:01:28The steady growth of aviation
00:01:29From an experiment
00:01:30To a giant network of air routes
00:01:33Many great names have been strolled
00:01:35On the honor roll of aviation's march of progress
00:01:38This afternoon
00:01:39We are privileged to meet and hear
00:01:41From one of its pioneers
00:01:42The builder of the wild goose
00:01:44Known in the industry
00:01:46As the grand old man of aviation
00:01:48Mr. John P. Fleming
00:01:49Mr. Fleming
00:01:53Mr. Fleming, I'm sure all of us here
00:01:55And as well as the radio audience
00:01:56We'd like to hear about the wild goose
00:01:58And what do you expect it will accomplish for aviation
00:02:00The wild transcontinental air travel
00:02:03Is still in its experimental stages
00:02:05I believe that in the wild goose
00:02:06We have a ship that will safely
00:02:08And comfortably carry passengers
00:02:09To and from Europe on a regular schedule
00:02:11When do you plan to inaugurate this schedule?
00:02:13Upon the completion of my first test flight
00:02:15To Berlin and back
00:02:16Do you plan to take passengers on this first flight?
00:02:18One
00:02:19I shall be a star passenger
00:02:21Are you going to pilot the ship yourself?
00:02:22Oh no
00:02:23Building them is one thing
00:02:24Flying them another
00:02:25I've engaged the services
00:02:26Of that distinguished flyer
00:02:28Mr. Ace Martin
00:02:29Who with his assistant Joe Randall
00:02:30Will pilot the ship
00:02:31When do you plan to take off?
00:02:32Just as soon as the weatherman
00:02:34Gives us the word
00:02:34Now is there anything else
00:02:35You'd like to tell us Mr. Fleming?
00:02:37Nothing except that
00:02:38I should like to introduce
00:02:39The one whose constant encouragement
00:02:41Has been my greatest aid
00:02:43In this new venture
00:02:44My wife
00:02:45Also my junior
00:02:49Junior partner
00:02:49Mr. Sidney Grant
00:02:51Thank you very much
00:02:55Mr. Tumming
00:02:56Thank you Mr. Hayes
00:02:57And happy landing
00:02:58See the conquering hero comes
00:03:05Sound the trumpet
00:03:06Beat the drum
00:03:07The noisiest drum
00:03:10Has nothing in it but air
00:03:11This my friend
00:03:13Is an occasion
00:03:15Let's have some dignity
00:03:17Oh well it's Colonel Gipping
00:03:21Hello Colonel
00:03:24Pardon me sir
00:03:26Has Madam yet christened
00:03:28The wild goose
00:03:29No no not yet Colonel
00:03:30I'm sorry to have been detained
00:03:33You may proceed
00:03:35Just a harmless eccentric
00:03:37He thinks he's a colonel
00:03:39He's been hanging around
00:03:39The field for months
00:03:40The boys think he brings luck
00:03:41Colonel
00:03:43Mr. Hayes
00:03:44How do you do Colonel?
00:03:46I'm happy to be in time
00:03:48And I may consider being kind enough
00:03:52To speak over the air
00:03:53What would you like to say Colonel?
00:03:55Oh
00:03:56I shall speak about
00:03:58Cabbages
00:04:00And kings
00:04:01And various things
00:04:03It's nice isn't it?
00:04:05About kings and cabbages
00:04:06And various
00:04:07Careful Colonel
00:04:08Now say just what I tell you
00:04:09I will
00:04:10Ladies and gentlemen
00:04:12We have a late arrival
00:04:13Colonel Gimpy
00:04:14Who I've just learned
00:04:15Is a familiar character
00:04:16Around the airport
00:04:16I'm the mascot
00:04:17Oh I'm sorry Colonel
00:04:19Colonel has just informed me
00:04:20That he's the mascot
00:04:21Now Colonel
00:04:22This is all you must say
00:04:24I'm happy to be here
00:04:26I must say I'm happy to be here
00:04:27And good luck to the wild goose
00:04:29And good luck to the wild goose
00:04:31Already?
00:04:32Happy to be here
00:04:33And good luck to the wild goose
00:04:35I built a wild goose
00:04:38So I could fly to my country
00:04:40And rejoin my cavalry regiment
00:04:43Because I'm the chief trumpeter
00:04:45The chief of all the trumpeters
00:04:47And they cannot charge without me
00:04:48And now I shall speak about
00:04:50Cabbages
00:04:50Thank you very much
00:04:51Colonel that's very nice
00:04:52Thank you a lot
00:04:53Hooray!
00:04:54Hooray!
00:04:55Thank you
00:04:55Ladies and gentlemen
00:04:57That was Colonel Gimpy
00:04:58The mascot at the airport
00:04:59Oh Mr. Martin
00:05:01Miss Gomez has been most anxious to meet you
00:05:04Miss Gomez
00:05:05Mr. Ace Martin
00:05:06How do you do Miss Gomez?
00:05:07How do you do Mr. Martin?
00:05:09Well ladies and gentlemen
00:05:10That famous daredevil flying organization
00:05:12The Top Gallants have just arrived
00:05:13They're appearing here today
00:05:14In honor of their most distinguished members
00:05:17Mr. Fleming
00:05:18Mr. Grant

00:05:19I want you to hear these death defiers sing

00:05:47From the shoes

00:06:28We're the fuck to burn
00:06:30Those are the top galants singing their famous flying song.
00:06:34They're here today to honor the man who will guide the wild goose on a stash to Berlin,
00:06:37Mr. Fleming's pilot, Mr. Ace Martin.
00:06:40I'm going to quite persuade Mr. Martin to say a few words.
00:06:43Just a few words, Mr. Martin.
00:06:45No, thank you.
00:06:47Well, perhaps on land, Mr. Martin is lost for words.
00:06:49Anyway, best of luck to you, Mr. Martin.
00:06:52Hello.
00:06:54Hello, Colonel.
00:06:55That really was a magnificent speech.
00:06:59You know, a man says nothing because he's wise or afraid or stupid.
00:07:06Which are you?
00:07:07Wise as an owl.
00:07:09An owl?
00:07:10You know, an owl in daytime, she can't see, like this.
00:07:15And in nighttime, she can.
00:07:20Goodbye.
00:07:20Goodbye.
00:07:23A great little fellow, the Colonel.
00:07:25And now, ladies and gentlemen, Mrs. Fleming, the builder's wife, will christen the ship.
00:07:29We're ready, dear.
00:07:31I christen thee Wild Goose.
00:07:40For me!
00:07:41How about some music?
00:07:51All right.
00:07:51Hello, Joe.
00:07:52Hello, Ruth.
00:07:53Hello, Eddie.
00:07:53Hello, Eddie.
00:07:55What do you want, honey?
00:07:56Oh, something simple.
00:07:58How about a tailspin sundae?
00:08:00All right.
00:08:01I'll have the same.
00:08:02It won't be long before I'll be up there, on my way to Berlin.
00:08:13Joy, I'm scared.
00:08:17I'm beginning to wish you weren't going.
00:08:18Well, I guess that tells me something, even if you hadn't meant here.
00:08:23Don't it?
00:08:24Well, naturally, I don't want anything to happen to you.
00:08:27When the company starts flights to Berlin, maybe someday we'll fly over, on our honeymoon.
00:08:32And I'll be the pilot.
00:08:33How about it?
00:08:34Maybe.
00:08:36That's well.
00:08:37But you're a long way from being a pilot, yes.
00:08:39Oh, I don't know so much about that.
00:08:41What do you think Ace Martin's been grooming me for, huh?
00:08:43What was I a couple of months ago?
00:08:45A grease monkey.
00:08:46Ace likes my work and breaks me in for his mechanic.
00:08:49Even lets me sleep in his apartment tonight, so he can give me talks on navigation.
00:08:52Now he thinks I'm good enough to fly to Berlin with him.
00:08:55Must be some reason for all that.
00:08:56And if it ain't because I got the makings of a good pilot, then what?
00:08:58I know he's terribly fond of you.
00:09:01Maybe I wouldn't go to town for him, too.
00:09:03But he's the greatest flyer that ever lived.
00:09:05And the best friend.
00:09:07So what do you say, honey?
00:09:09You want to get engaged?
00:09:12Who are you proposing for?
00:09:13Ace Martin or yourself?
00:09:15Well, now.
00:09:30Oh, hello, kid.
00:09:31Hello, Mr. Martin.
00:09:33I want you to meet Miss Ruth Franklin, my fiancée.
00:09:36Why, Joe.
00:09:37Oh, how do you do, Ruth?
00:09:38Congratulations.
00:09:39You got a swell guy in Joe when he's in the air.
00:09:41Of course, I don't get a chance to see much of him on the ground, except the apartment when he comes home nights late.
00:09:46She knows where I am.
00:09:48Oh, yeah?
00:09:48You know he came home last night with his lips all over his chin, two big red gashes above his eye?
00:09:52I've heard how you love to tease, Mr. Martin.
00:09:56Oh, no, Ruth.
00:09:57I know a lot about you.
00:09:59Let's see.
00:10:00You lunch at the Canary Drugstore.
00:10:02Chicken sandwich and the mauled milk.
00:10:04You dine at a little Redding joint on 51st Street.
00:10:06You like spaghetti.
00:10:06On warm nights, you like to sit on a bench in Riverside Drive.
00:10:11Cold nights, you like to go dancing.
00:10:13But you always go home at 11.30 sharp.
00:10:15Ten minutes later is when I start to hear about you.
00:10:17Hmm.
00:10:18Tell you another thing.
00:10:20You work in a filing room at a trucks and aircraft plant.
00:10:23You have no assistant, you're overworked, and you're kept there after everyone else is gone.
00:10:26Correct?
00:10:28And that's where Joey comes in.
00:10:29He comes and waits for me.
00:10:30That's where I come in, too.
00:10:32A watchman gets my good cigars for keeping his mouth shut.
00:10:35Oh, boy, she said I could help myself.
00:10:37Sure, I did.
00:10:38Now that I've met Miss Franklin, I think that watchman's going to start smoking better cigars.
00:10:43Well, goodbye, Ruth.
00:10:44See you later, kid.
00:10:44I'm going to go get something to eat.
00:10:51I think he's grand.
00:10:53So to go for him, huh?
00:10:54Oh, I didn't mean that, you silly.
00:10:57Now, he's the only guy I wouldn't squawk about if you did.
00:10:59That's what I think of him.
00:11:05Good evening, Colonel.
00:11:20The usual?
00:11:20Uh-huh.
00:11:28Quiet.
00:11:29Quiet.
00:11:29Quiet.
00:11:31Cabbages and kings are marvelous things.
00:12:40Good evening, Baron.
00:12:42Good evening.
00:12:44Did operative further get here yet?
00:12:50Not yet, Baron.
00:12:52Have him come in when he does.
00:12:56I'm also expecting operative 16.
00:13:00Not through that or use this one.
00:13:06Anything new at the airport today?
00:13:14Yes.
00:13:15Quite a good deal.
00:13:16Nothing wrong, I hope.
00:13:18No, nothing.
00:13:20Except that I fear we've been betrayed by one of our own men.
00:13:26What do you mean?
00:13:28I mean that our chances of getting Mr. S. Martin to obtain those DOX plans for us are now doubtful.
00:13:36I thought...
00:13:37Yeah, that we had everything running smoothly, so did I.
00:13:40Has Martin now refused to do it?
00:13:42No.
00:13:43He still hopes to get a hold of him through his mechanic, Randall, by using the scheme we had outlined for him.
00:13:50Then what are you worrying about?
00:13:52The possibility that others beside us may have learned of it and make him a higher offer.
00:13:59Knowing his past record, he would accept it too.
00:14:02Aren't you borrowing trouble, Baron?
00:14:04No.
00:14:05As you shall see.
00:14:06Operative number 30 is here, Baron.
00:14:07Yes, sent him in.
00:14:08Good evening, Baron.
00:14:09Good evening, Baron.
00:14:10Good evening.
00:14:11Mmm.
00:14:12Beautifully cut coat you have on.
00:14:13Thank you, Baron.
00:14:14You should compliment your task.
00:14:15Yes.
00:14:16Yes.
00:14:17Yes.
00:14:18Yes.
00:14:19Yes.
00:14:20Yes.
00:14:21Yes.
00:14:22Yes.
00:14:23Yes.
00:14:24Yes.
00:14:25Yes.
00:14:26Yes.
00:14:27Yes.
00:14:28Yes.
00:14:29Yes.
00:14:30Yes.
00:14:31Yes.
00:14:32Yes.
00:14:33Yes.
00:14:34Yes.
00:14:35Yes, well, I mean, agreed to be with a tailor.
00:14:39You and your lady friend were the most distinguished couple of the Christmas this afternoon.
00:14:44Thank you, Baron.
00:14:45You were there in line of duty, weren't you?
00:14:47Yes, Baron, carrying out your orders.
00:14:50That charming young lady I saw you with, old friend?
00:14:54I've known her for some weeks.
00:14:56She's Senorita Gomez.
00:14:59Her father is a planter in Havana.
00:15:02So, the daughter of a planter in Havana.
00:15:05She's, of course, unaware of your identity.
00:15:08Oh, absolutely, Baron.
00:15:11Operative number 16 is here, Baron.
00:15:13Come in.
00:15:21You two know each other, huh?
00:15:22Our compatriot was just telling me that you and he are quite friendly.
00:15:30How friendly?
00:15:33Perhaps I better put it this way.
00:15:35How much have you been able to learn from your devoted companion?
00:15:40I know that for the past few months, he's been working as your agent.
00:15:44He's acted as your intermediary with Ace Martin,
00:15:46who is trying to obtain for him the DOX bomber plans,
00:15:49for which Martin is to get $20,000.
00:15:51But, Baron.
00:15:53Silence.
00:15:54That will be all now.
00:15:59And now, my loyal countrymen,
00:16:02what have you to say for yourself?
00:16:04Baron, you must understand,
00:16:07this was not just an acquaintanceship.
00:16:09I loved her.
00:16:11And she led me to believe that she loved me.
00:16:15I thought surely I could trust her.
00:16:17I understand you very well.
00:16:19How do you believe that she loved her family?
00:16:20Youth, romance,
00:16:23blissful days and nights.
00:16:27Went to your head,
00:16:29made you dizzy.
00:16:31So dizzy,
00:16:32that you risked a chance of betraying your country.
00:16:35Baron, please believe me,
00:16:37this shall not happen again.
00:16:38I am certain of that.
00:16:40Unfortunately,
00:16:41I have no other choice
00:16:43but to relieve you of your present assignment.
00:16:46Come with me, Pete.
00:17:05Weakling splendorous.
00:17:10I don't enjoy doing this.
00:17:13But I will go on doing it as long as it's necessary to carry on my work.
00:17:20The work for our country to which I have dedicated my life.
00:17:29Sent for operative 77 from Washington at once.
00:17:43Oh, hello, kid. What's the matter? No red marks tonight?
00:17:50What did you do, wash your face or have a quarrel?
00:17:52The way you kidded us this evening, she ditched the lipstick.
00:17:56Nice girl, Joe. How'd you do it?
00:17:57I'm still guessing.
00:17:59You know, it scares me sometimes wondering, will she wait till I get the price?
00:18:03Don't you worry. When we bring down the wild goose in Berlin, you'll be on Easy Street.
00:18:07And your girl won't have to work for that scrub, Cruxton.
00:18:10Make yourself a drink.
00:18:12Thanks, Mr. Martin.
00:18:14Don't wait for me to ask you. You live here.
00:18:16And another thing, stop calling me Mr. Martin.
00:18:20Thanks, but even being here is an imposition.
00:18:23Cut it. Glad to give you the boost I got when I was in your spot.
00:18:27I never knew anybody ever got behind you, Mr. Martin. Ace?
00:18:32Yeah, he's dead now.
00:18:35Put me through Trinity Tech.
00:18:37Trinity Tech? Then you're an engineer.
00:18:39So you ought to be building airplanes.
00:18:41Something in that.
00:18:44Anyway, that kind of work right now brings up something I'm trying to forget.
00:18:49Sorry, I brought it up, Ace.
00:18:50While we're on it, let me give you a tip.
00:18:54The minute you can support that nice girl of yours, in an inexpensive home, you hop to it.
00:18:59Don't wait around for this luxury stuff. That's where I stub my toe.
00:19:04Come here, I want to show you something.
00:19:14We'd be married five years now if I hadn't been a sap.
00:19:16I was pulling down 20 a week when we were engaged.
00:19:21Then I figured out a special propeller for a hydroplane.
00:19:25Well, I knew I had something big, so I sold her on the idea of waiting until we got hold of a fancy income.
00:19:31But I sold it so strong that when the income didn't materialize, she got tired of waiting and married somebody else.
00:19:37Didn't your propeller turn out?
00:19:39I'll say it did.
00:19:41But not for me.
00:19:43Where's my drink?
00:19:43The other room.
00:19:45Yeah.
00:19:47Somebody swiped your idea?
00:19:50Oh, the same old story.
00:19:52Sucker inventor and a smart businessman.
00:19:57Better make yourself a nightcap.
00:19:59Thanks.
00:20:02If you don't mind telling it, I'd like to hear about it.
00:20:05Yeah.
00:20:05Well, kid, if you ever invent anything, you'd chase right out to a throat specialist.
00:20:11Get them to fix you up so you can't talk.
00:20:14Oh, you spilled your idea.
00:20:15All over New York.
00:20:17I'd spend 12 or 14 hours working on it.
00:20:20And I'd go out and tell the whole world about it.
00:20:23Well, one day I ran across Mr. Cruxton.
00:20:27You mean Ruth's boss?
00:20:29Yeah.
00:20:29That's the guy.
00:20:31Asked me to bring my plans around.
00:20:33Said he wanted to give them a little study.
00:20:35Well, not knowing any better.
00:20:37Like a fool.
00:20:39I left them.
00:20:41So?
00:20:43Oh, the usual formula.
00:20:47Next time I called, he said he was still studying them, but I'd known a day or two.
00:20:50After that, I called for a couple of weeks before I saw him again.
00:20:55And he said they weren't so hot.
00:20:57But he was still studying them.
00:21:00I finally heard from his secretary that my plans had been mislaid.
00:21:04I wonder you didn't go to him and have it out with him.
00:21:06A showdown.
00:21:07But by then I lost the girl I'd done it all for.
00:21:11Then I began to wonder if the plans were any good myself.
00:21:13Say, are they any good, Ace?
00:21:16Any good?
00:21:17I'm proud to say that due to Mr. Cruxton's intensive study, my DOX plans are worth a couple of million dollars.
00:21:27To him.
00:21:27Not to me.
00:21:29Would they still be valuable to you today?
00:21:31I'll say they would.
00:21:33Why?
00:21:33What are you thinking about?
00:21:35Say, I think I can get a hold of them for you.
00:21:38Next.
00:21:39I don't want you to get mixed up in it.
00:21:42Besides, that Cruxton file room isn't so easy to get to where I've been there myself.
00:21:46Yeah, but that's just it.
00:21:47I can get to it easy, through Ruth.
00:21:48No, no.
00:21:49No, I don't want to harm her.
00:21:50Why, she'd get fired so fast.
00:21:52Oh, she wouldn't know anything about it.
00:21:53I'd handle it myself.
00:21:54Nix, forget it.
00:21:55Skip it.
00:21:56The only reason this whole thing came up is because I suggested you two kids get married now.
00:22:01Don't wait until it's too late.
00:22:03Now, you forget you ever heard of the DOX, you understand?
00:22:06Yes, sir.
00:22:09Well, I'm going to bed.
00:22:11I think I'll have a cigarette first.
00:22:14Well, don't smoke yourself to death.
00:22:16Good night.
00:22:17Good night.
00:22:37Good morning, Baron.
00:22:38Operative 77 is here, sir.
00:22:40Have him come in.
00:22:46Good morning.
00:22:49Good morning, Baron.
00:22:51I didn't know you were in America.
00:22:53I've been here many months.
00:22:56I came over here in a very important mission.
00:22:58So important that if I failed, they would expect me to resign.
00:23:06I am completely at your service, sir.
00:23:11We are after the plans of the DOX bomber plane, which are in possession of the Crocs and Aircraft Company.
00:23:16I know the plans well.
00:23:17A very difficult place for operatives to get into.
00:23:20They won't hire foreigners.
00:23:21Money gets in anywhere.
00:23:23Baron, are you aware that practically every war officer in the world is offering a tremendous
00:23:27reward for those plans?
00:23:29That's the point.
00:23:30Extreme secrecy and speed.
00:23:33Have you made much progress?
00:23:34Yes.
00:23:35We are putting our money on a man who will undoubtedly manage it.
00:23:39Only, I don't trust him.
00:23:41May I ask who he is?
00:23:43It's Martin the Flyer.
00:23:45Ah, yes, yes.
00:23:45I know of him.
00:23:46Clever fellow.
00:23:47Of course, you understand that he is in a spionage merely for the Prophet.
00:23:51Exactly.
00:23:52Arrange a meeting at once and test him in the usual manner.
00:23:56Very well, Baron.
00:23:57Is that all?
00:23:57Yes, thank you.
00:24:14I have the money.
00:24:30You speak in riddles.
00:24:32I have the money.
00:24:35Very well, produce it.
00:24:38I'll meet you halfway.
00:24:39Okay, begin.
00:24:53What's on your mind?
00:24:56Have a cigarette, Martin?
00:24:57Thanks.
00:25:07Martin, I was not sent here by the Chief.
00:25:09I see.
00:25:10And what I have to say is only between us.
00:25:12Shoot.
00:25:14Suppose I could offer you more for those plans than you've been promised.
00:25:18Are you suggesting that I sell out to some other country?
00:25:20Well, let's say as a businessman that you sell to the highest bidder.
00:25:24Testing me, huh?
00:25:25Yes.
00:25:26As a matter of fact, I was sent by the Chief.
00:25:32But in reality, I was testing you for myself.
00:25:35I don't get you.
00:25:36You will.
00:25:39Oh, I'm beginning to see daylight.
00:25:52You're supposed to be a loyal agent of the Chief's, whoever he is.
00:25:58That means you're a loyal subject of his country, whatever that is.
00:26:02But in reality, you're an agent for your own country.
00:26:04Precisely that.
00:26:06What is your country?
00:26:07For the moment, we'll refer to it as country number two.
00:26:10What's your proposition?
00:26:11It's quite simple.
00:26:13Country number one has appointed me as intermediary to pay you the $20,000 when you deliver the plan.
00:26:18Now, that money I'll bring you, and it's all yours for your trouble.
00:26:22Where do you come in?
00:26:23My country.
00:26:24That is, country number two, has authorized me to pay you triple the amount, but on one condition.
00:26:30What is it?
00:26:30The moment you get them, you deliver the plans and myself to my homeland by plane.
00:26:37I see.
00:26:38You're afraid country number one will put the Indian sign on you.
00:26:41Exactly.
00:26:42Where is your country?
00:26:43Not far from the destination of your proposed flight.
00:26:48Oh, you mean you want me to take you with me on my flight in the Wild Goose?
00:26:52Do you suppose that could be arranged with Mr. Fleming?
00:26:57Yes.
00:26:58Yes, I think it could.
00:26:59Then it's a deal?
00:27:00It's a deal.
00:27:01Well, kid, do I deliver or do I deliver?
00:27:19I'll say you do.
00:27:20Well, well, it's been a long time since I laid eyes on those babies.
00:27:32Kid, I don't know how to thank you, but I'll reciprocate someday.
00:27:35Oh, forget it.
00:27:36After all you've done for me, nothing to it anyway.
00:27:38How'd you get away with it?
00:27:40Just like I thought I would.
00:27:41I'm up there waiting around for Ruth.
00:27:43The big filing vault's open, so Ruth steps out for a moment and I stroll in just like I was looking around.
00:27:48I see a little drawer marked DOX and pull it out.
00:27:50There before me is the envelope.
00:27:52I stick it in my pocket, shut the door and sort her out.
00:27:54Where was Ruth?
00:27:55Busy with her lipstick?
00:27:56How's that?
00:27:57That's right.
00:27:58Your face is all gashed up again.
00:28:02It's all kind of clear for a moment swiping something.
00:28:05I guess the fellow's got a right to swipe what's his own and after all, I was acting for you.
00:28:09Don't you worry about that.
00:28:11If there's any criticism I get it, it was my idea.
00:28:14I think I'll put this in the safe.
00:28:16I wouldn't say anything to Ruth about this.
00:28:18It'll just make it feel uncomfortable.
00:28:20Sure.
00:28:20Of course, you'll hear about it when you put your claim in.
00:28:22Yeah, we'll all hear about it in a big way, kid.
00:28:24And you'll get yours, no fooling.
00:28:25No, don't bother about that, Ace.
00:28:27I mean it.
00:28:46Hello.
00:28:48Yeah, this is Ace Martin.
00:28:50Who?
00:28:51Oh yeah, yeah, he got home.
00:28:53Did he get them?
00:28:55Yeah.
00:28:56Now listen, as soon as Fleming is ready to take off, I'll get in touch with you.
00:28:59Don't worry.
00:29:01Okay, good night.
00:29:06Well, did he accept your offer?
00:29:08On the contrary.
00:29:09When I suggested it to him, he became indignant.
00:29:12He said that although he was not bound by any patriotic obligations, when he made a deal,
00:29:16it was a deal.
00:29:17So you are certain he is to be trusted?
00:29:19Absolutely.
00:29:20Good work.
00:29:25Now, the gentleman who was formerly our intermediary is no longer with us.
00:29:30Explain to Mr. Martin that the incident was a necessary test and that you are to continue on the case for us.
00:29:38Thank you, sir.
00:29:50Good evening, Mr. Fleming.
00:29:52Oh, Matthews, I'm afraid I'm a little late.
00:29:55You have everything arranged, the flowers, the cake?
00:29:57Yes, sir, everything.
00:29:58And you have kept it a secret, of course, from Mrs. Fleming?
00:30:00Yes, sir.
00:30:02Good.
00:30:02Matthews, when you serve the coffee, will you bring this in?
00:30:06It's a gift for Mrs. Fleming.
00:30:08But Mrs. Fleming won't be home, sir.
00:30:12Won't be home?
00:30:13What do you mean?
00:30:14She left the sausage.
00:30:15I'm sorry.
00:30:16I'm sorry.
00:30:17I'm sorry.
00:30:18I'm sorry.
00:30:19She left this afternoon rather hurriedly.
00:30:22She asked me to give you all this note.
00:30:35God, there.
00:30:38God, there you are.
00:30:40God.

00:34:37Walk over to Martin and get those plans

00:35:03He's got me covered

00:35:52Geez you're sweating like a bull
00:35:53Yeah
00:35:54Well you would be too
00:35:55If you had your heart set on this like I have
00:35:57Nobody's gonna stop us
00:35:58Yeah you can play that bet across the board
00:36:00Come on
00:36:01I wonder if

00:36:10Gate was open wasn't it
00:36:12Watchman missing
00:36:13Something phony about that

00:36:37You can change inside
00:36:38When we got here the gate was open
00:36:39The night watchman was missing
00:36:41He may be talking to reporters
00:36:42Oh but he knows
00:36:43Well he might have seen the gas tank being wheeled in
00:36:45Come on let's go
00:37:15What time is it
00:37:29High noon lunchtime in any man's country
00:37:35It's breakfast time in New York
00:37:38Don't be so technical Mr. Randall
00:37:40It's lunchtime out here
00:37:41Bust out the groceries
00:37:42What's our position Ace
00:37:45About 1500 miles out of New York
00:37:47This coffee mill is still grinding them out
00:37:50I'm afraid you turned out quite a crepe
00:37:52Still a little tail heavy though
00:37:54I can't understand that
00:37:57Help yourself
00:37:58No no no thanks
00:37:59What's the matter don't you feel well
00:38:01No no no I'm alright
00:38:03A little homesick huh
00:38:05Yeah a little
00:38:05I thought so
00:38:07Well how about unburdening ourselves
00:38:10To a news hungry world
00:38:11Okay
00:38:12K-H-A-B-Q
00:38:19Calling Atlantic Airport
00:38:21Give me a call please
00:38:24K-H-A-B-Q
00:38:28Calling Atlantic Airport
00:38:30Give me a call please
00:38:32K-H-A-B-Q
00:38:39Calling Atlantic Airport
00:38:40Better check your transmitter
00:38:50Maybe they're not getting you
00:38:51Transmitter tubes on sending said are burnt out
00:39:00That is a doornail
00:39:01That is a pity
00:39:04Disappointing my public
00:39:06And your sweethearts
00:39:08Well
00:39:10Cheer up boys
00:39:11Absence makes the heart grow fonder
00:39:13Atta boy
00:39:15You hear something?
00:39:21Yeah
00:39:21Ship's haunted
00:39:23It's camping
00:39:31Hello
00:39:32So you stole away on us huh
00:39:36I have perhaps imposed upon your wildly known hospitality
00:39:41Mr. Fleming
00:39:42I'll say you have
00:39:43It was unavoidable
00:39:45You can't possibly realize
00:39:48How important it is for me
00:39:51To return to my country
00:39:53On this flame
00:39:55No wonder we had a time getting the tail up
00:39:57He liked to have killed us
00:39:59Mr. Martin
00:40:01I may still enjoy the distinction of killing you
00:40:04Only for the present
00:40:06I have a very special reason
00:40:08For letting you live
00:40:10Who knows
00:40:12What the stars
00:40:13Ordain
00:40:14I do
00:40:16You do?
00:40:17Yeah
00:40:18Cause in a minute
00:40:18I'm gonna toss you over to the mermaids
00:40:20You ought to do alright with the mermaids
00:40:22Handsome boy like you
00:40:24I shall be sorry to disappoint them
00:40:26But I have a previous engagement
00:40:28How did you get on here?
00:40:30Me?
00:40:31Oh
00:40:31Just by submitting to the demands of stern necessity
00:40:35I had to be here
00:40:36I have an appointment in Europe
00:40:38His Royal Highness
00:40:40Yes
00:40:40We know all about that
00:40:41How'd you get by Blake the Watchman?
00:40:44Blake the Watchman
00:40:45Your faithful Mr. Blake
00:40:48Unfortunately
00:40:49Was an obstacle
00:40:51That
00:40:51Shall I say
00:40:53Had to be liquidated
00:40:55You mean
00:40:57Oh
00:40:57He died peacefully in my arms
00:41:00I killed him
00:41:02Through the heart
00:41:06You see
00:41:08The heart
00:41:09Is the most important organ
00:41:11In your whole system
00:41:12If the heart stops
00:41:14Your body won't function any longer
00:41:16You see
00:41:17An elephant for instance
00:41:18You can shoot behind the ear
00:41:20But
00:41:20In the case of Mr. Blake the Watchman
00:41:23I prefer the heart
00:41:25Scram will you
00:41:26Shooting through the heart
00:41:29Does away
00:41:30With so much unpleasantness
00:41:32Won't you agree with me
00:41:34Mr. Martin
00:41:35Say we've had enough of this
00:41:36I'm sorry
00:41:39But
00:41:39The nerves of Mr. Martin
00:41:41Are not of the best
00:41:43Maybe
00:41:44Perhaps
00:41:46The excitement
00:41:47Of a sudden departure
00:41:49Sit down
00:41:49You're rocking a boat
00:41:50Oh
00:41:52Again I must impose upon your hospitality
00:41:55You see my decision to join you
00:41:58Was so sudden
00:41:59That I didn't have time
00:42:00To arrange for my itinerary
00:42:02It's awfully crowded in here
00:42:05News flashes of the day
00:42:14By the Macklin company
00:42:15Since six o'clock this morning
00:42:16No word has been received
00:42:17From the wild goose
00:42:18Now en route over the Atlantic
00:42:19Millions of men
00:42:21Women and children
00:42:22Wait breathlessly
00:42:22In the hope that this is not
00:42:24Due to any misfortune
00:42:25That might have befallen
00:42:26Mr. Fleming
00:42:26The owner
00:42:27And his intrepid associates
00:42:29Ace Martin
00:42:29And Joe Randall
00:42:30If you are listening in
00:42:32Mr. Fleming
00:42:32Good luck
00:42:33And Godspeed
00:42:35Why is my name not mentioned

00:42:43Shot through the heart
00:42:44Early this morning
00:42:44Papers found on the body
00:42:46Indicated that the man
00:42:47Might have been
00:42:48A secret service agent
00:42:49Of a foreign country

00:43:08Can it be
00:43:10That they are mad themselves
00:43:12Who call me mad
00:43:14If you only knew
00:43:16What was going on

00:44:34Of the war department
00:44:35Miss Franklin

00:44:38And Mr. Harrington
00:44:40Wants to ask you
00:44:41Some questions
00:44:41Whoopsie down

00:44:43Miss Franklin
00:44:45You're in charge
00:44:46Of the filing vault
00:44:47I believe
00:44:47Yes
00:44:48And you've been working
00:44:49There after hours
00:44:50Of late
00:44:50Have you not
00:44:51Yes
00:44:52For the past month
00:44:53I've been kept late
00:44:53About twice a week
00:44:55And until you leave
00:44:56You're practically alone
00:44:58In that room
00:44:58Yes
00:44:59I'm always the last one
00:45:00There to close the safe
00:45:01Miss Franklin
00:45:02Did you have a visitor
00:45:03Last Monday night
00:45:04Yes
00:45:05Mr. Randall called for me
00:45:07He often does
00:45:07I have Mr. Croxton's permission
00:45:10You're a very close friend
00:45:11Of Mr. Randall
00:45:12Are you not
00:45:12Yes
00:45:13We're engaged
00:45:14On last Monday night
00:45:17Was he alone
00:45:18In the room with you
00:45:18Well
00:45:20Yes
00:45:21Did you notice
00:45:23What he was doing
00:45:23Not particularly
00:45:25I was busy
00:45:26With my work
00:45:26He usually
00:45:28Sits around
00:45:30Or walks up and down
00:45:32Will you please
00:45:34Tell me what this is about
00:45:36Just a moment
00:45:37Miss Franklin
00:45:37You say he walked
00:45:38About the room
00:45:39Did you see him
00:45:40Walk into the filing vault
00:45:42Why of course not
00:45:44What are you driving at
00:45:45Is there something missing
00:45:46An envelope containing
00:45:48Valuable blueprints
00:45:49Of vital interest
00:45:50To the war department
00:45:51Is missing from that safe
00:45:52What in the world
00:45:53Would Joe Randall
00:45:54Know about things like that
00:45:55He's a flyer
00:45:56Is that all you can tell us
00:45:57Miss Franklin
00:45:58Absolutely
00:45:59I'm sorry
00:46:00But it's not enough
00:46:00You will have to come along
00:46:02For further questioning
00:46:02But I don't know anything
00:46:04Please Mr. Croxton
00:46:06There must be some mistake
00:46:08I don't know anything about it
00:46:10I swear it
00:46:10And Joe doesn't either
00:46:11He wouldn't do such a thing
00:46:13You must believe me
00:46:15Please
00:46:16Please
00:46:16Is this quite necessary
00:46:18Miss Franklin's been
00:46:20In my employ
00:46:20For several years
00:46:21And sorry
00:46:22But I'm afraid it is
00:46:23I'm afraid you'll have
00:46:26To go with him
00:46:27Bruce
00:46:27Now don't worry
00:46:28I'll do all I can
00:46:30For you
00:46:30Thank you
00:46:31Mr. Croxton
00:46:32Well this clammy fog
00:46:46Ever let up
00:46:47I've had plenty of it too
00:46:49Any idea at all
00:46:53Where we are
00:46:53Over India
00:46:55For all I know
00:46:55They've been flying blind
00:46:57For hours
00:46:58Over India
00:47:00Oh in that case
00:47:01You'll have to lend me at once
00:47:03I'd more than like
00:47:04To accommodate you
00:47:05I am dining tonight
00:47:07With the Maharaja of Murat
00:47:08Oh sure
00:47:10Colonel sure
00:47:11Some ship would only
00:47:12Spot us from below
00:47:13And give us a call
00:47:14We can get our bearings
00:47:16I know I'll have plenty
00:47:17To say to the banners
00:47:18To install this radio
00:47:19And the good old game
00:47:21Of fooling each other
00:47:22Goes on
00:47:23I fool you
00:47:25And you fool me
00:47:27Time for that news reporter
00:47:34Again Mr. Fleming
00:47:34News flashes
00:47:40By the Macklin company
00:47:41At noon hour today
00:47:433,000 textile workers
00:47:45At the railway underwear mill
00:47:47Walked out on strike
00:47:48A spokesman for the workers
00:47:51Said no money
00:47:52No undies
00:47:54Still no word is yet
00:47:56From the wild goose
00:47:57Or from passing ships
00:47:59At sea
00:47:59Considerable alarm
00:48:01Is being felt
00:48:02In view of Uncle Sam's
00:48:03Weatherman
00:48:04Reporting storms
00:48:05Off the Irish coast
00:48:06I thought this was India
00:48:08Flash
00:48:10The beginning of a scandal
00:48:11Which may involve
00:48:12A famous personage
00:48:13In aviation circles
00:48:13Was unearthed today
00:48:14By your snooping reporter
00:48:16Quiet please
00:48:19Quiet please
00:48:20A young woman employee
00:48:22Of the Croxton aircraft company
00:48:23Is under arrest
00:48:25And is being detained
00:48:26By authorities
00:48:26To say more
00:48:28Would be telling
00:48:29But your reporter
00:48:30Has a word
00:48:30For this young woman's boyfriend
00:48:32Should he be listening
00:48:33For whom did you get
00:48:35That envelope
00:48:35For whom
00:48:36And here's the stock market
00:48:38I could answer that question
00:48:39But why should I tell you
00:48:42Pipe down
00:48:43With pleasure
00:48:44In a company of fools
00:48:46A mental giant armory
00:48:48This sounds ridiculous
00:48:49Well if you fellas
00:48:51Don't mind
00:48:51I think I'll go
00:48:52And get some rest
00:48:52Okay boss
00:49:18For the remainder of the voyage
00:49:38I shall play upon a muted instrument
00:49:41Going sour on that noise yourself
00:49:44Huh
00:49:44You're not so goofy
00:49:45Yes
00:49:54Major
00:49:55Mr. Croxton is here now
00:49:57Please have him come in
00:49:58And have Mr. Harrington
00:49:59Bring in Miss Franklin
00:50:00Yes sir
00:50:01Good afternoon
00:50:04Mr. Croxton
00:50:05Hello Major
00:50:06Mr. Croxton
00:50:07I sent for you
00:50:08Oh
00:50:10Sit down
00:50:10Mr. Franklin
00:50:11How are you Harrington?
00:50:12Mr. Croxton
00:50:15We're convinced
00:50:17That those plans
00:50:18Were stolen by Joe Randall
00:50:19And turned over
00:50:20To Ace Martin
00:50:21Randall was unwittingly
00:50:23And innocently
00:50:24Drawn into this
00:50:25Through Martin's
00:50:26Diabolical scheming
00:50:27Are you sure of that?
00:50:29Definitely
00:50:30By checking these clues
00:50:32On a body found
00:50:33On Tower Road
00:50:34We in conjunction
00:50:35With the Department of Justice
00:50:36Were led to the headquarters
00:50:37Of a foreign spy syndicate
00:50:39There we arrested two men
00:50:40On a promise of protection
00:50:42Until they were being deported
00:50:43They agreed to talk
00:50:45Which they did
00:50:46Then being dead certain
00:50:47The plans were on the wild goose
00:50:49We cabled every American
00:50:51Merchant marine vessel
00:50:52On the Atlantic
00:50:52To be on the lookout
00:50:53For the airship
00:50:54We also stationed our men
00:50:55At the airport in Berlin
00:50:56With instructions
00:50:57To take Martin
00:50:58Into custody
00:50:59When he arrived
00:50:59But Martin
00:51:01Is not headed for Berlin
00:51:02How do you know that?
00:51:04A message in code
00:51:05From one of our vessels
00:51:07On the South Atlantic
00:51:08Informs us
00:51:09That they definitely
00:51:10Sighted the wild goose
00:51:11Aheading from the vessel's position
00:51:13Martin is flying
00:51:14500 miles off his course
00:51:15It may be that they're lost
00:51:17But
00:51:18It may be deliberate
00:51:19At any rate
00:51:21I'm afraid we haven't a chance
00:51:22To recover those plans
00:51:23Before Martin can dispose of them
00:51:25To some foreign power
00:51:26Major
00:51:27You said you believed Joe
00:51:29To be innocent
00:51:30Didn't you?
00:51:31Well if he would bring
00:51:31Those plans back
00:51:32Will his name be clear?
00:51:35Yes
00:51:35Then why don't you
00:51:36Let me speak to him
00:51:37Over the radio I mean
00:51:38Why uh
00:51:39Please Major
00:51:40I'll talk to him
00:51:42I'll tell him how Martin
00:51:43Has used him
00:51:43And how much those plans
00:51:44Mean to his country
00:51:45He'll get them
00:51:47I know he will
00:51:48That'd be a good idea Major
00:51:49A chance worth taking
00:51:50It might at that
00:51:53Then you'll let me do it
00:51:54Judging from Martin's way
00:51:56Of doing things however
00:51:57I'm compelled to warn you
00:51:59That from this
00:52:00Serious consequences
00:52:02May result in that airship
00:52:03Even so
00:52:04Joey must know
00:52:05He'd want to know
00:52:06Please let me do it
00:52:07Please
00:52:08Very well
00:52:10I'll reach to clear
00:52:11All air lanes at once
00:52:12Pretty rough weather eh
00:52:26You said it
00:52:27First we get hours of pea soup fog
00:52:30And now this
00:52:31Come hither hither my little page
00:52:34Why dost thou weep and wail
00:52:37Or dost thou dread the billows' rage
00:52:40Or trample at the gate
00:52:42But dash the teardrop from thine eye
00:52:48Our ship is swift and strong
00:52:51Our fleetest falcon scarce can fly
00:52:55More merrily along
00:52:57Oh poet huh
00:52:59You just make it up
00:53:00That's my ignorant friend
00:53:02Was written by Byron
00:53:04Byron?
00:53:05Oh how stupid of me
00:53:07You are the quintessence of stupidity
00:53:10When I consider the sum
00:53:12Of what is contained
00:53:14In that skull of yours
00:53:16I am proud to be a nitwit
00:53:18What's wrong now?
00:53:27The gas has to come loose
00:53:29Take it over
00:53:31Yep
00:53:36Gotta fix that pronto
00:53:38We may need every drop of that
00:53:40Bang water before we're through
00:53:41You're not going out on that wing ace
00:53:43It's certain depth
00:53:44Certain depth for all of us
00:53:45If that thing continues to spray
00:53:47Let me go, eh
00:53:48You never did a wing mark before
00:53:50You wouldn't last a minute
00:53:51Yeah, I know
00:53:51But on my way out
00:53:52Throttle her down
00:53:53Hold her in the stall
00:53:54On my way in
00:53:56Bank her a little
00:53:57Okay
00:53:57As much as I despise Mr. Martin
00:54:18I must admire his courage
00:54:20Ladies and gentlemen
00:54:31The Department of Justice
00:54:32In an effort to reach the Wild Goose
00:54:33Has requested us to clear
00:54:35All air lanes
00:54:36For its official business
00:54:37Joey
00:54:39This is Ruth
00:54:41They've arrested me
00:54:42They know you stole those plants
00:54:44For Ace Martin
00:54:45Joey
00:54:46Ace Martin is not your friend
00:54:48He lied to you
00:54:50He's a spy
00:54:51Those plans are important
00:54:53To the American government
00:54:54He has them with him
00:54:56And they mustn't reach Europe
00:54:57Oh, Joey
00:54:59I love you
00:55:01No
00:55:11I'm gonna throw him off
00:55:12Go easy
00:55:13He made me get those plants
00:55:14For him
00:55:14He said they were his
00:55:15No
00:55:20You can't kill a man
00:55:21Of cold blood
00:55:22No
00:55:22Don't be a fool
00:55:28Listen
00:55:28He's got the plants
00:55:29In his pocket
00:55:30Wait until he comes back
00:55:31Oh, Joey
00:55:32Don't stop it
00:55:32Okay
00:55:33Dooo
00:55:48Give it to me
00:55:53Yeah
00:55:54Yeah
00:55:54Oh, Joey
00:56:00Yeah
00:56:03There's a bumpy ride you get it, kid.
00:56:16Thought I was gone for a minute.
00:56:17What ails you?
00:56:18You tried to play me for a sucker.
00:56:19Huh?
00:56:20Study, Joe.
00:56:20Those plans you made me steal.
00:56:21They belong to the government.
00:56:22You knew it!
00:56:23What started all this?
00:56:24The message over the radio from the Franklin.
00:56:26Is this humor?
00:56:27Hardly, Martin.
00:56:28This is no place for trouble.
00:56:29You better hand them over.
00:56:30My plans?
00:56:30Joe knows they're my plans.
00:56:32Let's see them.
00:56:33Yes, let's see them.
00:56:33Well, have you gone nuts?
00:56:36Hand them over.
00:56:43Look out!
00:56:44Look this way!
00:56:46Hey, just grab on to something!
00:56:47Somebody!
00:56:48I don't know whether I've got enough out of here to pull her on.
00:56:53What is it?
00:56:54I'm under here.
00:56:55It's up to the gas.
00:56:56Hang on, let's put it in front of my back.
00:56:58I can't hear this.
00:57:00I need to get it.
00:57:10I'll see you.
00:57:11I'm under there.
00:57:12Check.
00:57:13I can see you.
00:57:13I can see.
00:57:14But.
00:57:14Yeah, you love it!
00:57:15I've got a boat.
00:57:15Maybe I need it again?
00:57:16I need to take out of here.
00:57:16I can't see you.
00:57:17You'll see me.
00:57:17I can see you.
00:57:18You have to drive.
00:57:18I can see you.
00:57:19I can see you.
00:57:19You've got to get out there then.
00:57:20I want to go.
00:57:21I can see you.
00:57:21Let's go.
00:57:51How about some more ice water for these lamps of mine?
00:57:59They're like two hot coals.
00:58:02I hope they burn through your skull.
00:58:06Don't worry. They probably will.
00:58:12These lamps of mine will never see daylight again.
00:58:15When are you other guys soak this bandage?
00:58:18I don't know which is more merciful.
00:58:21Are you refusing to help you or telling you there's no more water?
00:58:28That's it.
00:58:32Thanks.
00:58:37Maybe that was the kids' way of telling me the same thing.
00:58:40Yeah.
00:58:42If I had my way, I'd wash your eyes out with salt water.
00:58:46Okay, okay.
00:58:48Can't say I blame you much.
00:58:51I don't know what the hell is, Joe.
00:58:52Stewing won't catch anything.
00:58:53I'm not stewing.
00:58:55Doesn't the futility of all this tack, you gentlemen, is amusing?
00:58:59Not amusing enough for you to start tooting that horn of yours, I hope.
00:59:03I seem to lose my talent for the instrument when the ship crashed.
00:59:07Yeah.
00:59:09Certainly sobered you up.
00:59:13Wouldn't it be funny, Colonel, if this crack-up knocked some of those maggots off your brain?
00:59:17Yes, very funny.
00:59:19Martin!
00:59:20Oh.
00:59:21Sorry, Colonel, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
00:59:24Just wanted to keep talking.
00:59:27What are you doing, boss?
00:59:29Trying to fix this old melodion.
00:59:30Knock off.
00:59:31When lightning strikes those things, they're out for good.
00:59:34Well, at least it keeps my mind off things.
00:59:38What's occupying your mind, Colonel?
00:59:40Oh.
00:59:42Contemplating the wonder of the firmament.
00:59:45And, uh, thankful to the stars for keeping the sea so peaceful.
00:59:51Well, you needn't thank them for me.
00:59:53And just as soon they played leapfrog with each other.
00:59:56I don't want to go out in a bathtub.
00:59:59Give me a storm.
01:00:01Rough house.
01:00:02Excitement.
01:00:11Bet I know what the kid's doing.
01:00:14Standing there leering at me.
01:00:16Ready to throttle me, ain't you, kid?
01:00:21Well, come on, cut loose.
01:00:23I can stand an encore.
01:00:25I made you a traitor.
01:00:27You lost your girl.
01:00:30Now you're gonna die.
01:00:32Neither scared to die.
01:00:33I prefer it to what you've left to me at home.
01:00:35And the sooner the better.
01:00:36Easy, Joe.
01:00:37What are we waiting for, anyway?
01:00:38No food, no water, nothing.
01:00:40Just sitting here waiting for the sea to drag us down, inch by inch.
01:00:43I don't care what you guys think of me.
01:00:45Call me yellow if you want it, but I can't stand this.
01:00:47I can't stand it!
01:00:48Sit down!
01:00:49Let me go!
01:00:50Let me go!
01:00:51Let me go!
01:00:52Let me go!
01:01:06She's souping it up like a sponge.
01:01:08Yeah, about two feet in the last hour.
01:01:11Won't be long now.
01:01:13Are you ready, Colonel?
01:01:14What?
01:01:15Go.
01:01:22That's six in a row.
01:01:24You should have been an admiral instead of a colonel.
01:01:27What time is it?
01:01:2810.30.
01:01:29We're a long way from where we were last night at 10.30.
01:01:31Let's see.
01:01:32What was I doing?
01:01:33Possibly I could tell you.
01:01:35You've been reading the stars again, eh?
01:01:36All right, go on.
01:01:37Tell me.
01:01:38I was watching you with one of my men from the rear car.
01:01:42As you killed operative 77 on Tower Road.
01:01:45It was deftly dumbed.
01:01:47Well, I'll be a ward on a monkey's uncle.
01:01:50Don't tell me I'm here with the chief.
01:01:52Chief of what?
01:01:54I'm here with the chief.
01:01:56Chief of what?
01:01:58I'm here with the chief.
01:02:00Chief of what?
01:02:02I'm here with the chief.
01:02:03Chief of what?
01:02:05I'm here with the chief.
01:02:06Chief of what?
01:02:07What?
01:02:08This is the guy I had Joe steal the papers for.
01:02:10Is this rich?
01:02:20Wish I could laugh without getting the pain in the face.
01:02:23What's this all about, Ace?
01:02:25Why, this guy is some big muckety-muck in some back alley country in Europe.
01:02:29And thank you to respect my countries, I do yours.
01:02:32No offense, my pal.
01:02:34So you're both spies.
01:02:35Murdering double-crossing spies.
01:02:38Our activities were similar, only our motives were different.
01:02:42Hey, what the devil is your real name anyway?
01:02:46Baron Rudolf Maximilian Taggart.
01:02:47Quite a title.
01:02:48I think you've got something there, Baron.
01:02:50Well, we're proud to have you with us.
01:02:54Hey, look.
01:02:56Why don't we all get together?
01:02:58Tell one another why we're here.
01:03:01We might whip this into a nice little drowning party.
01:03:04Come on, let's all gather around the stove and unburden ourselves.
01:03:09Fleming, you're first.
01:03:11You've been a flat tire ever since we started.
01:03:14I'm afraid I have nothing to contribute.
01:03:16Oh, being sermonized.
01:03:18No, no, you got me all wrong, Ace.
01:03:21Well then, why has your chin been at half-mast all the way?
01:03:24Don't mind my worthy colleague, Mr. Fleming.
01:03:26He hasn't learned to recognize tragedy on a man's face.
01:03:31Am I correct in thinking you'll welcome this too?
01:03:34Don't be a sap, Baron.
01:03:36Any man that has welcomed this ought to have his head examined, even after he's dead.
01:03:40As a matter of fact, Ace, I do.
01:03:42Now don't you start telling us that your name isn't Fleming,
01:03:45and that you're running away because they found counterfeit money on you.
01:03:48No, not running away.
01:03:50Pursuing.
01:03:52Pursuing? Who?
01:03:54My wife.
01:03:56I don't get you.
01:03:58She left yesterday for Europe to get a divorce.
01:04:01When I found it out, I could think of only one thing to do.
01:04:04To get to her and reason with her.
01:04:06Therefore, my sudden decision to leave last night.
01:04:09Hard luck. I'm sorry, boss.
01:04:12That's all right, Ace.
01:04:14It took a crack up to make me realize that no matter what I do,
01:04:17she's out of my life for good.
01:04:20So, you see, strangely enough, I do welcome this.
01:04:24Well, I guess that accounts for everybody.
01:04:27The baron's a red-hot patriot.
01:04:30Fleming's a subject for the Winchell column, and the kid...
01:04:33The kid's a man without a country.
01:04:36Me.
01:04:37How would you lack your gravestone in Scrant?
01:04:40Here lies Ace Martin, born bad and grew up worse.
01:04:44Living for the fun of it and died laughing.
01:04:47I'd consider my career complete if I could have a drink.
01:04:50Oh, I forgot.
01:04:51Well, how about a smoke then?
01:04:58There's four left. One for each of us.
01:05:01Thanks, boy.
01:05:03Look.
01:05:05I think I see a light.
01:05:07I've been seeing a million.
01:05:09There it is.
01:05:11Are you guys kidding me?
01:05:13No, it's a steamer. A steamer.
01:05:15What's the matter, Baron? You taking an interest in life again?
01:05:16Well, how about one of you guys shooting off the flare gun?
01:05:19Get the flare gun shown?
01:05:20Captain.
01:05:34Flare off the fort side, sir.
01:05:48Stand by to lower about.
01:05:49Man, a boat.
01:05:50Man, a boat. Full speed ahead.
01:05:54This crate will never stay up until that ship gets here.
01:05:57We'll break out the light belts then.
01:05:59Go ahead, Joe.
01:06:08This one's no good.
01:06:09Neither is this one.
01:06:10There's only one.
01:06:11Well, ain't that ducky.
01:06:12Well, women and children first.
01:06:13I regret, gentlemen, that the duty to my country forces me to take this step.
01:06:29Can't we hand over that belt?
01:06:31I'll give it home, Joe.
01:06:33What's this all about?
01:06:35To be honest to you, Mr. Martin, I must warn you that I'm armed.
01:06:37Yeah?
01:06:38With that toy pistol, huh?
01:06:40It's a real one this time.
01:06:42Set me up those plans, please.
01:06:44Don't do it, Ace.
01:06:46Don't do it, Ace.
01:06:48What's the odds, kid?
01:06:54One peep out of you, Baron Rudolph Maximilian Taggart, and you'll be face to face with your illustrious ancestors.
01:07:01May the company any...
01:07:05Kid.
01:07:06Come here quick.
01:07:08Take these plans and put them in your pocket.
01:07:09Hurry up.
01:07:13Now get into that life belt.
01:07:14Hurry up.
01:07:15Go ahead, kid. It's okay.
01:07:17Nice flying, boss.
01:07:22You all set?
01:07:23Yeah.
01:07:24Now beat it.
01:07:25Thanks, Ace.
01:07:26Skip it.
01:07:28Give my regards to Ruth.
01:07:29Goodbye.
01:07:31Goodbye, Mr. Fleming.
01:07:32Goodbye.
01:07:46Good luck, kid.
01:07:50Is he gone?
01:07:51Yes, he's on his way, Ace.
01:07:54Baron.
01:07:55Nothing.
01:08:00Did I finish you off?
01:08:02Not quite up to your usual standard, Mr. Martin.
01:08:07I'm sorry, Baron, but it had to be done.
01:08:10Oh, indeed.
01:08:13You're a strange fellow, Martin.
01:08:15In spite of everything, I confess a strong liking for you.
01:08:22Under other circumstances, we might have been good friends.
01:08:28Thanks, Baron.
01:08:31Well, now that we've regenerated or rejuvenated or what have you, how about a smoke?
01:08:37How about a smoke?
01:08:38I'm sorry.
01:08:39How about a smoke?
01:08:40I guess I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
01:08:41You're a little bit nervous.
01:08:42I'm sorry.
01:08:43I'm sorry.
01:08:44I'm sorry, man.
01:08:45I'm sorry.
01:08:46I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
01:08:47I'm sorry.
01:08:48I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
01:08:50You're not sorry.
01:08:53I'm sorry.
01:08:55I'm sorry for that.
01:08:56Three on a match.
01:09:07No superstitions, Baron?
01:09:10Yes.
01:09:11Only about men who are born bad and grew up worse.
01:09:26The End
01:09:56The End
01:10:26The End
01:10:56The End
01:11:26The End
