00:01This is 29 Acacia Road, and this is Eric, the schoolboy who leads an exciting double life.
00:09For when Eric eats a banana, an amazing transformation occurs.
00:15Eric is Banana Man, ever alert for the call to action.
00:28It was the day of the great Acacia Road to Paris Air Race, Banana fans.
00:32There on the airfield behind the gasworks, the flying machines were on the runway, and their pilots were preparing for
00:38the great adventure.
00:43That's General Blight in his turbocharged fighter, and his old school chum, Dr. Gloom.
00:51Let go, you fool. I meant more choke on the engine.
01:04And there, in a plane specially stolen for the occasion, are Eddie the Gent and Morris the Muscle.
01:19And that's it. The flying banana is ready for take-off.
01:23What chance will you have in an old banana crate like that, Mr. B? With all due respect, sir.
01:30Don't be fooled by its appearance, Grindle.
01:32The FB-101 is powered by one of the strongest elastics known to man.
01:37You'll never guess where I got it before.
01:41Ready, Mr. B?
01:43Contact.
01:44Contact.
01:44Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
01:49hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
01:50Did you enjoy that little spin, Grindle?
01:54Ho, ho, ho.
01:55Ho, ho yourself, Mr. B?
01:59Contact.
02:06There's Banana Man, Morris.
02:08Bombs away.
02:10Bombs?
02:11We don't have any bombs, Eddie. You said it would be a picnic.
02:15Oh, very well.
02:16Picnic lunch away!
02:21Watch it, boss!
02:25Paper!
02:27And this!
02:28And a couple of these!
02:32We're going down, Eddie!
02:34Afraid so, Morris, old chap.
02:36But remember, the pilot is the last man to leave the ship.
02:40Ah, goodbye, Eddie. I'll miss you.
02:43No, I've just promoted you, Morris.
02:46You're the pilot.
02:48Congratulations.
02:49Here, take the wheel.
02:50Thank you, boss.
02:54Well, banana fans, that's one pair of villains out of the way.
02:58But somewhere in those unfriendly skies, other dangers may be lurking.
03:02There's one.
03:03General Blight's plane.
03:05It's a long way off, Beaky.
03:07I mean, general.
03:08But that's the flying banana.
03:11Right-ho, Doc.
03:12I'll switch on turbo power.
03:15And tally-ho!
03:19Bandit, it's six o'clock, boss.
03:21Plenty of time, Crow.
03:22It's only 2.30.
03:26Bye-bye, general.
03:28See you in Paris.
03:31No, no, you won't.
03:43Very good.
03:44How did you stop like that, Big B?
03:46Air brakes, Crow.
03:48And now to battle.
03:54This is the worst part, you know.
03:56The awful waiting.
03:58Wondering.
04:03You win this time, banana man.
04:06But I shall have my revenge.
04:14That's Paris, France, Crow.
04:16We've won.
04:18Bonjour, Monsieur Crow.
04:20What?
04:20Oh, la, la.
04:22I'll see you later, boss.
04:24Now then, macheree.
04:25Oh, Bill Corbeau's it, to be sure.
04:28Oh, cool.
04:29Oh, cool.
04:59We've gone up.
04:59fallen out.
04:59We've gone up.
