03:06You're right, Gene.
03:06That couldn't have been your father.
03:08He wouldn't have tried to run us down.
03:10No, and he wouldn't have tried to burn the carnival.
03:17Let's go and help put out the fire.
03:18I think I'll be able to walk now.
03:23Water! Water!
03:25Water!
03:27Water!
03:29Come on!
03:30Good.
03:31Get up, run.
03:32Well, everything's dead.
03:34The fire's out.
03:35Where's father?
03:36Has anyone seen him?
03:37Why, didn't he get away?
03:38No, it was someone disguised at him.
03:41I'm afraid he's been abducted.
03:43You mean kidnapped?
03:44Why?
03:45So they can blame the eagle's crimes on him.
03:47The eagle?
03:48Who is the eagle?
03:50Well, it must be one of those directors.
03:52We can't prove anything.
03:53I'm not so sure we can't prove it.
03:55That unsigned note I received.
03:57Maybe we can trace that to its source.
03:59How can you, Craig?
04:01Come along, Billy.
04:02We've got a lot of work to do.
04:03Okay, Craig.
04:04Where are you going?
04:06To the factory.
04:08You mugs notice who always get called on when there's something important to do.
04:46Well, I'll be doggone, poor little sailor.
05:14There, there, there.
05:16Now, now, there you are.
05:19There you are, dear.
05:19Come along.
05:20There, there, there, there.
05:21Well, now, that'll hold you till I get back.
05:24And don't you take any wooden nickels.
05:42Greg! Greg!
06:00Who's there?
06:02What do you want?
06:05What was that?
06:06A shot! A shot!
06:17What were you shooting at, Jane?
06:19Somebody pinned this note on my tent.
06:21Let's read it and see what it says.
06:30Went from there.
06:43Are you sure it's your father's writing?
06:45There's something phony about this.
06:47The skipper ain't yellow.
06:49Why, he'd never cry quits.
07:07Nice work, Billy.
07:13Well, what I'm looking for isn't here that certain.
07:15Now, you stand guard in case anyone comes, and I'll search the other rooms.
07:19Okay, Craig.
07:28I don't know what to do, whether to follow these orders or not.
07:35That's funny.
07:38What do you suppose all these pinholes are in the paper for?
07:42Looks like it's been hit by a bird shot.
07:45Look.
07:47There's one under the T.
07:49And look, another under the O.
07:53F-O-R-O-N-E.
07:57Wait a minute.
07:59You're spelling words.
08:01It's a message.
08:02Look.
08:03W-A-T-E-R-S-T.
08:08W-A-T-E-R-S-T.
08:08That might be street.
08:10It is.
08:12241 Water Street.
08:14H-E-L-P-Q-U-I-C-K.
08:20Don't you see?
08:21Someone made him write it, and he took this way to let us know where he is.
08:24That's it?
08:25I knew the skipper wasn't yellow.
08:26Come on.
08:27Let's get going.
08:27Oh, but we can't all go.
08:29Heine and I will be enough.
08:30You've got to stay here to open the show if we don't get back in time.
08:36We're going what I was after.
08:37What is it?
08:38It's a desk calendar, and it's...
08:42It's a director's.
08:43You stay in the next room, and if I need help, go for it.
08:45You bet.
08:55I don't know why we came here.
08:57There's nothing that we can do.
08:58Well, we'll have to decide on our next move.
09:01Oh, no, you don't.
09:02One thing you can do is listen while I tell you who the man is behind all this mystery.
09:08Well, if you can do that, you're most welcome here.
09:12If you don't, it may go hard with you.
09:14Who is it?
09:15It's one of you gentlemen.
09:17Nonsense.
09:18Why should one of us be threatening the others?
09:21The man that's threatening you wants to get control of your company.
09:24He's throwing suspicion on Mr. Gregory to cover up his own tracks.
09:28And I can prove it.
09:31You all know that I wrote a message on the sky.
09:34Well, here are the instructions I received, unsigned.
09:38And this paper was torn off of that desk calendar.
09:41The edges match perfectly.
09:43See for yourself.
09:50It's true.
09:51They match exactly.
09:53They match exactly.
09:54Gentlemen, I resign.
09:56I can't afford to be connected with an organization that is founded on crime.
09:59I'm through.
10:02You're not through, Ward.
10:04As far as we know, you may be the eagle yourself.
10:06Who are you?
10:10I'm sorry, Ward.
10:12But get this.
10:13We got into this mess together, and we're all going to see it through.
10:18Innocent men don't run.
10:20Now, just a minute.
10:22Whose office did you find this thing?
10:24I don't know whose it is.
10:26The pad was in that room.
10:28Why, that's Clark's office.
10:30Why, Clark couldn't have been the eagle?
10:31The eagle killed Clark right here in this room last night.
10:35Are you sure that Clark was killed?
10:39By George.
10:41We're not sure.
10:43Well, we saw him right there on the floor.
10:45Yes, but when we came back from searching the corridor, the body was gone.
10:49You mean it may have been a trick to throw us off the trail?
10:52Why not?
10:53It wasn't a trick.
10:54There's a blood spot where he fell.
10:58Well, you sure that's blood.
11:06Well, what does it look like?
11:08Well, that isn't blood. It's iodine.
11:10Iodine?
11:11Here, let me see.
11:14See if the bottle's still in the washroom.
11:19Why, it's Clark!
11:21Is he dead?
11:22No, but he's unconscious.
11:24Somebody get some water and try to bring him too.
11:33I don't know.
11:50Well, now that we've got it, Gregory, how we gonna make him talk?
11:53Well, wait till he comes to.
12:03He's come to if you want to talk to him.
12:08Now we'll find out what the eagle wants to know.
12:29Amen.
13:01No, you won't talk, eh?
13:05Hand me that persuader.
13:08You heard me.
13:41Hello? Okay, boss. Just a second. Go ahead. Okay, I got you.
13:51McCoy is at the factory, and it's getting to the factory.
13:53You're too close to the truth.
13:55Well, what are we going to do?
13:59Throw a wrench into the machinery.
14:01Well, if you didn't write this, how does it happen that McCoy proved that it came off your own desk
14:06pad?
14:07Well, because he wrote it himself.
14:09What? Wrote it himself?
14:11Yes. When I came to last night, I was lying on the floor in my office.
14:15And he was bending over the desk writing on the pad.
14:18Why, that's a lie. Wait a minute.
14:20It was he that tied me up and put me in the closet.
14:22Yeah? Your little... Wait a minute.
14:25Your little trick didn't work, McCoy.
14:27We were right all along.
14:29Gregory is the Eagle, and Mr. McCoy is working with him.
14:35Hello?
14:36You stand in the shadow of the Eagle.
14:40Unless McCoy walks out of the factory of three men.
14:45One or all of you will suffer the consequences.
14:49It's the Eagle demanding McCoy's relief.
14:51How could he know that we have him?
14:53Shh.
14:54Get away from that phone.
15:00Get away from that phone, I tell you, or I'll shoot.
15:04It's a woman's voice now.
15:09Hello.
15:10Hello. Hello.
15:12Whoever you are, come quick.
15:14I've got the Eagle.
15:15Who are you?
15:15I'm Jean Gregory.
15:17They're holding my father prisoner.
15:19Yes.
15:20I'm Jean Gregory.
15:21Three of them.
15:23They had my father prisoner.
15:25But I've got the drop on them.
15:31Help!
15:32Come quick.
15:33241 Water Street.
15:38Pull it open.
15:39The knob has broke off.
15:40I can't get a good hold of it.
15:41Here.
15:42Let me get at it.
15:58Hello.
16:00They've turned the tables on us.
16:02Quick.
16:02We've no time to lose.
16:04You're not going anywhere.
16:05It's the trick of the Eagle to get McCoy out.
16:08It's not a trick, I tell you.
16:09Gene's life may be at stake.
16:11Look.
16:12The shadow of the Eagle.
16:45Good luck.
16:46Come on, Billy.
16:47We've got one chance to save Gene!
16:52There he goes!
16:54We can beat him to the yard by the stand.
16:56Come on.
17:08Don't go, Billy. We're going to have to crash that gate.
17:48They're gaining on us. You've got to throw them off.
17:58No time to turn back beating around the block.
18:08That's great. You lost them.
18:22That's great. You lost them.
18:23Come here, Jean. Let's beat it.
18:25We can't. Dad's in here.
18:28It's locked.
18:31Look. We can reach them along the scaffold.
18:58Do it.
