04:22What do you mean?
04:24Watch my act today.
04:25I'm introducing a new stunt.
04:27Come along, King.
04:29We're on next.
04:30All right.
04:31So long.
05:10Hey, get out under my feet, you little squirt.
05:13Don't get personal, you big maluca.
05:16It's guys like you that make birds like me hate guys like you.
05:20Come on.
05:22Come on.
05:24Come on.
05:50Come on.
05:51Come on.
05:57Come on.
05:58Come on.
05:58She's getting ready to bail out.
06:07Come on.
06:08Go on.
06:12Go on.
06:26Look.
06:26Go on.
06:32Look, the plane isn't flying.
06:38No, he's skyriding.
06:40That must be the new stud he was talking about.
06:43Gee, ain't he the greatest fly he ever saw?
06:48I've only known one as good.
06:50An army flyer.
06:53They call him the Eagle.
06:55He was shot down May 23rd.
06:571980.
07:02May 23rd.
07:04Gee, that's funny.
07:20In the far corner is where I suggest directing the new addition to the plan.
07:24Well, why not?
07:26I don't think we have enough space.
07:29Oh, the space is all right, but I would prefer the north side.
07:44Think.
07:46Doesn't that date mean anything to you?
07:53Well, that's the date the Eagle was shot down.
07:55Look.
07:59The Eagle.
08:07Well, that's all very interesting, gentlemen, but...
08:10now to get back to the new addition to the plan.
08:12That can wait.
08:20Well…
08:33if you look for the mini-nest, please leave.
08:33Get back to the carnival, quick!
08:37Come and see.
08:42Come and see.
08:42Come and see!
08:42Go!
08:42Come and see.
08:44What is this all about, gentlemen?
08:46Just who is this eagle person?
08:49Well, the eagle is...
08:50or at least he was...
08:52the crack flyer of my squadron during the war.
08:55That is until...
08:56Look!
09:15You shot down the eagle...
09:17and stole his invention.
09:19His shadow has returned.
09:21Prepare to pay. Signed, The Eagle.
09:27That note hints that this factory is founded on crime.
09:30And as your manager, I demand an explanation.
09:34Well, you see...
09:35during the war...
09:37we five were members of the same flying unit.
09:41Our ace pilot was known as...
09:44the Eagle.
09:46On May 23rd, 1918...
09:49he was flying a captured enemy plane over their line...
09:53trying to land a spy.
09:56One of our own planes brought him down...
09:58thinking he was an enemy.
10:02What does he mean when he makes reference to...
10:04the stolen invention?
10:07We have no more idea than you have.
10:13We have no idea.
10:13Whoever is responsible for those messages...
10:15can easily be traced.
10:17There's a stunt flyer that arrived in town yesterday...
10:19with the carnival company.
10:21Good idea.
10:22Follow through on that, Green.
10:24I'll go down there now.
10:30You know, I didn't like to mention it because...
10:32it was Green who shot down the eagle.
10:36I saw it all through my field glasses...
10:38but I...
10:39I was unable to help.
10:45I was unable to help.
10:56Well, that's that.
11:04I don't want to start the ball rolling.
11:09The eagle.
11:12Hello?
11:14Green's on his way to the carnival.
11:16You know what to do.
11:18Okay, boss.
11:20Things have started.
11:21Green's on his way to the carnival.
11:33All right, you're going to go.
11:34You know what?
11:35What's the meaning of that message you wrote, Craig?
11:37Oh, just an ad of some sort I suppose!
11:39But who paid you to write it?
11:40Well, I don't know.
11:41It came in a blank envelope...
11:42with a hundred-dollar bill attached to it.
11:45What's troubling you, Jean?
11:47Oh, don't you know who the eagle is?
11:49No, why?
11:53Gene, wait!
12:02Zan, did you see the sky message Craig wrote?
12:06Yes.
12:06What did it mean?
12:09I... I don't know.
12:11Where can I find that sky rider?
12:15There he comes now.
12:27Are you the fellow that did that sky riding?
12:29I'm the fellow. What can I do for you?
12:31You can tell me the meaning of that message you just wrote.
12:38What do you want to know for?
12:40Never mind that. I'll do the questioning.
12:43Oh, yeah?
12:44Well, you'll do your own answering, too.
12:46Wait a minute.
12:48Are you going to answer my question?
12:49Or would you rather answer the police?
12:52Police?
12:53Who are you and what are you talking about?
12:55I'm talking about blackmail.
12:57Blackmail?
12:58Yes, this.
13:05You shot down the eagle?
13:07And stole his invention.
13:08His shadow has returned.
13:11Prepare to pay.
13:12The eagle.
13:15What is it, Gene?
13:18Who is this gentleman?
13:21Why, you're...
13:22Aren't you green?
13:24Of my old flying unit?
13:26Gregory.
13:28We...
13:28We thought you were dead.
13:30Or you act as though you're sorry I'm not.
13:33Gregory.
13:35The eagle.
13:38Just a shadow of the old eagle you knew.
13:41Shadow of the eagle?
13:43So you are back of these threats against your old war?
13:46Four buddies, huh?
13:47That's a lie.
13:49Why should he threaten you?
13:50To try and make us pay for an invention he says he has.
13:53I had such an invention, Green.
13:56And I've still got the plans to prove it.
13:58And you suspect your old friends are stealing it?
14:02No.
14:02I hadn't suspected until today.
14:05But now I'm going to see this through.
14:07Yeah?
14:08Well, if you think you're going to blackmail us...
14:10I think you better get off the lot while you're still in one piece.
14:16All right.
14:18But I'm warning you, Gregory.
14:20You'd better forget this scheme or you'll find yourself behind bars.
14:24Go on.
14:33Gregory's plans mean much to you.
14:34They're in an army trunk in his tent.
14:36Big one over there.
14:39It's not true, is it, Daddy?
14:40You're not threatening those men.
14:42Oh, why shouldn't I threaten them?
14:44Didn't they try to kill me?
14:45I see the whole plot now.
14:48Evans ordered me up in an enemy plane.
14:50Green and Danby shot me down with a perfect alibi.
14:54Daddy, please.
14:54And now they've built a fortune on the invention they stole from me.
14:58While we live from hand to mouth.
15:00Poverty's drink and carnival's trooper.
15:02Daddy.
15:03Please, don't.
15:22I just saw a man sneaking into your tent, Mr. Gregory.
15:25Your plans.
16:00Hartford, up!
16:17Cocoy's after Green on a motorcycle.
16:20benimle tries to pass us.
16:23Come on Bob, I'm up.
16:39Oh, my God.
17:15Hello, Danby.
17:16This is Green talking.
17:18Call a meeting at the office tonight.
17:21Yeah.
17:21And get this.
17:23Gregory is alive.
17:24We've got to ask him.
17:25I'll come back quickly.
17:27Goodbye.
17:41Did she get what she wanted?
17:43I think so.
17:44My friend there gave you the tip.
17:46How about slipping her some change?
17:49I don't know why not.
18:06Sure.
18:07We get the papers.
18:09Green gets the blanks.
18:12Well, I'm mercy.
18:14I'll see you all.
18:19Hey, who's going to pay a fair, little boy?
18:23Who are you calling little boy?
18:25You big palooka.
18:29Oh, excuse me.
18:31And make it snappy.
18:40Look at that, gentlemen.
18:41See that?
18:42Aha, right there.
18:44Look at that man back there.
18:45No, he says it doesn't.
18:46No, he says it doesn't.
18:49Where's Gene?
18:50Inside.
18:51Thanks.
18:52Huh?
18:53I got him.
18:54Oh, let's tell Dad.
18:55All right.
19:00Daddy!
19:01Daddy!
19:01Oh, Daddy!
19:08Oh, Craig, he's gone.
19:09They've taken him.
19:11Well, they couldn't have taken him off the lot.
19:14Hey!
19:15Hey!
19:18Where's the shipper?
19:21Why, what's happened?
19:24Daddy's been kidnapped.
19:27Kidnapped?
19:31That's what that big palooka was phoning about.
19:35What do you mean?
19:37They're all meeting at the factory tonight.
19:40The factory?
19:42...
19:42...
19:52...
19:53...
20:04Don't squirm, Green.
20:06You might break your arm.
20:07So it's you, eh?
20:09Well, what's your game?
20:10I'm here to find out what your game is.
20:12We're going to that meeting together.
20:14Please, don't worry.
20:24I'm here to find out what your game is.
20:25I'm here.
20:50Get out of here.
20:50Who is this man, Green?
20:51And what does it mean?
20:53It means Gregory is behind these threats and this fellow is working with him.
20:57That's a lie, Green. You men are out to get Mr. Gregory.
21:00You're holding him prisoner now, and I want to know where he is.
21:02You needn't lie. You've got Mr. Gregory and I want him.
21:05Yeah? Well, come on. You better start.
21:09Hold him, Clark. I got it. Get him. Get him.
21:13I got him, Bill. Somebody's searching him. He may have a gun on him.
21:20Gregory's fake plans.
21:29Blank paper. What have you done with the plans?
21:33Wouldn't you like to know?
21:35You'll tell before we're through, will you?
21:37Well, you men are in no position to make me tell anything.
21:40Oh, yeah? Listen.
21:46Look. Another scimus.
21:48Another scimus.
21:55That's why Letchfield Clark?
22:00He's drawing a line from Clark's name.
22:05I wonder what's happening.
22:07Well, it looks like I'm a marked man, doesn't it?
22:13The eagle has struck him.
22:16Turn off the lights!
22:20He's struck Clark down. Don't let him escape.
22:43No luck? No, not a trace of him.
22:45Let's see how Clark is.
22:50Well, the body's gone.
22:52Well, who could have taken it?
22:53Well, probably the man that shot him.
22:55Gregory's behind all this.
22:56Why, we're in none of his safe.
22:58I'll call the police.
22:59Wait.
23:01Why, we can't afford this.
23:02I can't afford to have the police in on this.
23:04All right.
23:06Then we'll take matters in our own hands.
23:15Did you find him, Frank?
23:16What's the matter?
23:18A man was killed at the airplane factory tonight.
23:20A man was killed?
23:23But what does that do with father?
23:25Well, it was murdered, Jean.
23:27And I'm almost certain I saw your father running away.
23:30Oh, but you must be mad.
23:31Father's crippled.
23:32He hasn't walked for years.
23:34I know it, and yet.
23:36Look, Jean.
23:40Father!
23:41Can't be!
23:49Daddy!
23:50So you can walk.
23:54Oh, why did you keep it from?
23:56Well, I only meant to wait until I was fully recovered.
23:59So it was you I saw at the factory.
24:02Yes, I was there.
24:04But I didn't kill Clark.
24:05Then why did you switch the lights out?
24:07I only did it to save you.
24:09So, you did it to save him, huh?
24:19Well, you'd better try and save yourself, Gregory.
24:23Take him.
24:24What are you going to do?
24:26Do?
24:27What do they generally do with murderers?
24:30Oh, but he hasn't killed anyone.
24:31I know he hasn't.
24:32We heard what he said.
24:34He's a self-confessed killer.
24:37Here, stand aside, McCoy.
24:38We're going to take him.
24:40Over my dead body, you big palookas.
24:46We've got to work fast.
24:47They'll be in here after us any minute.
24:49Get to the airplane, Skipper.
24:50It's your only seat.
24:51Hey, Rube!
24:52Hey, Rube!
24:53Hey, Rube!
24:55Hey, Rube!
25:04Get out of here!
25:15Get out of here!
25:17Get out!
25:18Get out of here!
25:22Get out of here!
25:29Daddy!
25:30Wait for me!
25:37Help!
25:38That's the way!
25:39Give it to a good!
25:49Help, Craig!
25:51Help!
25:52Help!
25:57Help!
26:01Help!
26:11What's the matter, Jean?
26:12Has your father gone mad?
26:14But it isn't that it, Craig.
26:16It's no one disguises him.
26:19Are you hurt?
26:20Oh, I twisted my knee when I fell.
26:24Look, Craig, what does it mean?
26:26Oh, I twisted my knee when I fell.
26:42The tent will take fire. We've got to help.
26:44Oh, we can't walk, Craig.
26:49Look, he's headed this way.
26:50He's headed this way.
26:54Glenda, Craig.
26:56Oh, look.
27:01He's headed this way.
27:01...
27:06...
