00:02:08Yes, siri. The old Hurricane Express.
00:02:15Hold on, Steve. I'll take her down.
00:02:26Sure jealous of this old boiler, Dad.
00:02:29Why shouldn't I be?
00:02:30My boy, she's part of me.
00:02:33Maybe I'm just part of her. I don't know.
00:02:36I took her out on her first run.
00:02:40And I hope I'll be at her throttle when I make my last.
00:02:46Too bad the old heat's out of date.
00:02:48What do you mean, out of date?
00:02:50You're talking about the Hurricane Express,
00:02:52the fastest train in the country,
00:02:54the fastest train in any country.
00:02:55Out of date.
00:02:57Well, I wasn't comparing her to trains.
00:03:07Them playthings.
00:03:10The Hurricane Express gets you there on time.
00:03:13She's safe.
00:03:14And she's sure.
00:03:18Okay, Dad.
00:03:19You stick to your engine, and I'll stick to my plane.
00:03:22And I'll beat you to Springfield by three hours.
00:03:25As usual.
00:03:26Oh, yeah?
00:03:27Yeah.
00:03:28If you haul as many passengers as I do,
00:03:30you wouldn't land them in a week and a half.
00:03:32You win, Dad.
00:03:33Don't let your rails get rusty.
00:03:59You win.
00:04:00Hi, gang.
00:04:01It's all tuned up, Mary, and raring to go.
00:04:03Well, so am I.
00:04:09Gloria.
00:04:11This is a surprise.
00:04:13What are you doing in the enemy's line?
00:04:15I'm going to be a passenger on your plane.
00:04:17Gee, that's great.
00:04:18But what a story for the scandal chief.
00:04:21Miss Gloria Martin,
00:04:22secretary to the railroad general manager
00:04:24does her traveling by air.
00:04:26Well, this is a special occasion.
00:04:29I'm not going to make a habit of it.
00:04:30I wish you would.
00:04:38Anyway, I'll get a big thrill out of seeing our railroad
00:04:41from the air.
00:04:42Well, well, Gloria.
00:04:44This is an unexpected pleasure.
00:04:46How are you, Mr. Gray?
00:04:47Fine, thank you.
00:04:49Isn't it time you're getting ready, Baker?
00:04:51Why?
00:04:52Aren't pilots allowed to talk to passengers?
00:04:55Well, sometimes, but not when the manager
00:04:57wants to talk to her himself.
00:05:03I'll see you later, Gloria.
00:05:07I'm glad to see you're getting air-minded at last.
00:05:11When are you going to quit the railroad
00:05:13and come to work for me?
00:05:15Why, I hadn't given it any thought.
00:05:17I've got to stop for you.
00:05:20I haven't been in.
00:05:22I haven't seen the railroad, but it's aeen.
00:05:30The board has stopped.
00:05:32I'll see you.
00:05:32I haven't been trapped.
00:05:33I was beginning to do a lot of work.
00:05:35I've been in.
00:05:37And you're finding a way to go.
00:05:37I saw the railroad and building the railroad.
00:05:38I do not feel a lot of work.
00:05:38I saw that place.
00:05:39But I was like, you're going to go.
00:05:39I'm trying to break it down.
00:05:42I had to go.
00:05:47If I knew the railroad, you're going to be able to ask.
00:05:58Come on.
00:05:59Come on!
00:06:07Come on!
00:06:10Boy, we sure make a knock.
00:06:12We hope that westbound don't hold us up.
00:06:13Don't worry about the westbound.
00:06:15Come good and we'll have her on the sidings.
00:06:17When we leave a pinhead, we'll reach out.
00:06:17It's time to hit Plainville.
00:06:53Hey, Bill, that plump valve is stuck.
00:06:55Better take a look at it.
00:07:45He's going to take a look at it.
00:08:25Larry, the Westbound and Hurricane Express are going to crash.
00:08:35What are you doing?
00:08:37I'm going to try and sidetrack one of those trains.
00:08:39You can't make a landing here. You've cranked up the plane.
00:08:41I've got to take that chance.
00:08:43We can't let those trains crash.
00:08:48Has Baker gone crazy?
00:08:50Tell him I said he's not to attempt a landing.
00:08:53Orders from Gray. I knew he'd stop you.
00:08:56He can't stop me.
00:08:57Orders are no orders.
00:08:58Those people are racing to certain death.
00:09:17Sorry.
00:09:46It's so scary.
00:09:47Go!
00:09:49Go!
00:09:56Go!
00:10:02Save yourself, Bill, jump!
00:10:32Yes, Mr. Gray, I gave him your orders, but will you tell Baker he's fired? You take the plane on
00:10:37yourself.
00:10:44He died instantly. He might have saved himself. He had jumped.
00:10:49Jim Baker wasn't that kind. He knew it was his life or ours, and he gave his.
00:10:57You did this? You killed my father?
00:11:01It wasn't my fault. Honestly, it wasn't. Honestly, someone, someone took me down from behind.
00:11:08Truck you down? Yeah. Truck you down? Uh-huh.
00:11:15And these wrecks haven't been accidents after all.
00:11:18Oh, but who could have held such a grudge against the railroad?
00:11:21Why, there's plenty of them. Old Stratton, for instance.
00:11:25Didn't he threaten to get eaten with the road for sending him to jail?
00:11:27And didn't he escape him back?
00:11:29Well, whoever is back of it, it means my father was murdered.
00:11:34And I'll bring that murder to justice if it takes the rest of my life.
00:11:51What kind of mistake...
00:11:55Who's in charge...?
00:11:56Are you mad at that, sir?
00:11:57What is bad?
00:11:57What?
00:11:58What is the fact about it?
00:12:05What?
00:12:06What?
00:12:07What?
00:12:33The Hurricane Express, it gets you there.
00:12:38At some time.
00:13:03Dad!
00:13:04Gloria!
00:13:08What are you doing here?
00:13:10I had to come.
00:13:11Dad, you've got to go back.
00:13:13Back?
00:13:14To prison?
00:13:15Yes.
00:13:16You were safe in prison.
00:13:17Now they suspect that you're behind all these mysterious accidents on the railroad.
00:13:21There's been another terrible wreck.
00:13:22Oh, never mind the wreck.
00:13:24I know all about it.
00:13:26Dad!
00:13:27And you did have something to do with it.
00:13:29Why, Gloria.
00:13:30Are you turning against me too?
00:13:32I tell you the railroad company did frame me.
00:13:35They held out evidence at my trial that would have cleared me.
00:13:39I do believe in you, Dad.
00:13:40And I'm trying to find the papers they want.
00:13:41But I must be careful.
00:13:44Does anybody suspect that you're Gloria Stratton?
00:13:47No.
00:13:48To them, I'm just Gloria Martin, the general manager secretary.
00:13:50Good, good.
00:13:52Everything depends upon you.
00:13:53Until you secure that evidence,
00:13:55I'll be a horrid animal.
00:13:58A fugitive from justice.
00:14:10And when you returned from fixing the pump,
00:14:13where was Jordan?
00:14:15When I climbed into the cab,
00:14:17Jordan was just reaching for the throttle.
00:14:19But, Mr. Edders, I'll tell you,
00:14:21I was just coming through.
00:14:22Now, we've heard your story, Jordan.
00:14:27Carlton.
00:14:29Yes, sir.
00:14:31You reported that 59 ran through your signal.
00:14:35Did you see anybody in the engine cab?
00:14:40Yes, sir, I did.
00:14:41Who was it?
00:14:44Uh, it was...
00:14:45Jordan, the engineer.
00:14:47That's a lie!
00:14:50You couldn't have seen me.
00:14:56Oh, I get it.
00:14:57It's a frame-up.
00:15:00And you're in on it.
00:15:06If, uh, you're through with me, Mr. Edwards, I...
00:15:09I'd like to get back to my station.
00:15:11All right, Carson, you may go.
00:15:13That concludes the inquiry.
00:15:16Jordan.
00:15:18You will remain.
00:15:24The evidence in the case
00:15:26is that you are guilty of criminal negligence.
00:15:30You are discharged.
00:15:35Discharged, am I?
00:15:38After 30 years of faithful service.
00:15:41And on the lying word of a boomer agent
00:15:43that drifted in here about three months ago.
00:15:45Need you render a decision now, Mr. Edwards?
00:15:48As counsel for the road,
00:15:50I feel that this matter requires further investigation.
00:15:54The evidence is clear.
00:15:56My decision is final.
00:15:59So you're making me the goat.
00:16:01For the past three months,
00:16:03things have been going wrong on this road.
00:16:05Late trains.
00:16:06Open switches.
00:16:07Overlapping orders.
00:16:09Mysterious freaks.
00:16:10And you can't find out who's responsible.
00:16:13Well, you're not going to frame it on to me.
00:16:16Nobody's trying to frame anything on you, Jordan.
00:16:19You're discharged for cause.
00:16:23Oh.
00:16:25That's the answer, is it?
00:16:28So you're blacklisting me.
00:16:30Driving me out of railroading.
00:16:33All right, Mr. Edwards.
00:16:36Get me the marked man out of me.
00:16:38Now you watch my smoke.
00:16:40Is that a threat?
00:16:41I am dumb talking.
00:16:43Actions speak louder than words.
00:17:03I believe Jordan told the truth.
00:17:05There must be someone behind all these wrecks.
00:17:08Someone with a grudge against the railroad.
00:17:10Why, Larry, what makes you say that?
00:17:12Didn't you notice how Carlson acted in there?
00:17:15He was afraid of something.
00:17:17He knew more than he told.
00:17:19And I'm going down to Plainville tonight and check up on him.
00:17:22Larry, what good would that do you?
00:17:24I intend to find the man that caused that wreck and murdered my father.
00:17:45Well, don't you see, Stevens?
00:17:47Even if Jordan is innocent, we can't admit that there have been any mysterious happenings on the road.
00:17:53We've lost too much business already.
00:17:55The air transport company is eating into our passenger traffic and...
00:17:59Do you suppose that Walter Gray could be our mysterious enemy?
00:18:03I wouldn't be surprised.
00:18:05You know, he's never forgiven you for having fired him as traffic manager of the road.
00:18:08I know, but there's someone else I have more reason to suspect.
00:18:13Who's that?
00:18:24Stratton.
00:18:25Now that you mention it, you know, it is strange that all these things have happened since...
00:18:30he escaped from prison.
00:18:32You know, I'll never be safe until Stratton is again behind the bars.
00:18:45This man will be in your engine cab throughout the run.
00:19:15All aboard!
00:19:58Look at the back of his city!
00:19:58I love the Madrid Area of the Gnar.
00:19:58A man is safe to BEJAMI.
00:19:58So while his brother has been here, the mother has been in for 12 years
00:19:58I'm a man.
00:19:59And he is, I will aim him out of the house.
00:20:05He's not in for 12 years...
00:20:05I believe he's been in for 12 years.
00:20:07I don't know, but I'll do things.
00:20:07Okay?
00:20:08What are you doing?
00:20:09All aboard!
00:20:29Let's go, Mr.
00:20:29What's happened?
00:20:31The hurricane is discovered.
00:20:33Stop her or she is wrecked.
00:20:38Quick. The wrecker. He's on the Hurricane Express.
00:20:43Don't move.
00:20:52Okay, Sandy. Tie him up, too.
00:21:15Quick. We've got to stop him.
00:21:20Quick. We've got to stop him.
00:21:44Okay, we've got to stop him.
00:21:49Okay, we've got to stop him.
00:21:50I'm going to stop him.
00:21:50He's going to stop him.
00:22:03Bye.
00:22:26Do you see anything suspicious?
00:22:28No, not a thing.
00:22:45Open up, Henny.
00:22:47It's Matthew.
00:23:06Everything okay, Bill?
00:23:08Okay.
00:23:45It won't be long now.
00:23:47And what a smash it's going to be.
00:23:49But what's going to happen to the record?
00:23:51He's on the train.
00:23:52Don't worry.
00:23:54He won't be on there when she crashes.
00:24:05It's only Bill.
00:24:12Hello, Bill.
00:24:12See the record yet?
00:24:56Bill!
00:24:58Bill!
00:25:00Bill!
00:25:02Bill!
00:25:04What's happened?
00:25:05Somebody drag me in here and knock me go!
00:25:09The record!
00:25:10Good job.
00:25:10I can't tell you the weather.
00:25:12Come on.
00:25:14Come on!
00:25:16That is her!
00:25:25The fabric of my food, John.
00:25:26You can't use it.
00:25:29Come on.
00:25:29I can't wait.
00:25:29We'll have to wait later.
00:25:30Superintendent!
00:25:30Get in the water!
00:25:30Get in the water!
00:25:31Go!
00:25:31I can only get in the water!
00:25:32You can't wait!
00:25:33I can't wait to get in the water!
00:25:34All right, come on.
00:25:36I can't wait!
00:25:36Go, I can't wait to come.
00:25:49Doc, here she comes.
00:26:21How come you didn't smash?
00:26:22That guy Larry Baker put it in and stopped the wreck.
00:26:25How are we going to get the gold out now?
00:26:27Where's the record?
00:26:28Why, he got away in the plane.
00:26:32Here he comes now.
00:26:39He's coming back to get the gold.
00:26:46You stay here and guard the gold.
00:26:48Take no chances, shoot the kill.
00:26:53I've got you covered.
00:26:55Get down out of there.
00:26:57Larry Baker.
00:26:58So you're the wreck of it, huh?
00:27:00I am not.
00:27:01It was the conductor that killed the engineer and guard.
00:27:05The conductor, eh?
00:27:09We got the man that slugged you, Bill.
00:27:11Can you identify him?
00:27:13I tell you, he's the wrecker.
00:27:14He was fighting a fireman when I came up in my car.
00:27:17In your car, eh?
00:27:18Yes, I was chasing this train to get him.
00:27:20The man that murdered my father in yesterday's wreck.
00:27:23How did you know the wrecker was on this train?
00:27:26I found out at the station in Plainville.
00:27:36And you're positive that this was the man you were fighting with in the engine cab?
00:27:41I'll swear to it.
00:27:42That proves your whole story a pack of lies.
00:27:46I found him tied up in the compartment of a Pullman car just before the crash.
00:27:50Mr. Detector.
00:27:53Mr. Detector.
00:27:55Mr. Detector.
00:27:57Mr. Detector.
00:27:58Mr. Detector.
00:27:58Mr. Detector.
00:27:58Mr. Detector's done been murdered.
00:28:00Somebody cut his head off.
00:28:02Uh...
00:28:03Larry?
00:28:05There, there's his goal.
00:28:07Well, looks like everybody's been seeing me in two places at the same time.
00:28:11Show us what you're talking about, Sam.
00:28:14Get busy with the crew.
00:28:15Clear the engine back or down the main line.
00:28:17The hurricane express must get through on time.
00:28:36There he is, right over there.
00:28:38See it right there?
00:28:40Well, can you beat that?
00:28:43It sure looks like me.
00:29:18No wonder Baker thought he saw me.
00:29:20This proves he saw the truth.
00:29:23So that's how the wrecker works.
00:29:26Well, he can't be far away.
00:29:30Now, let him go.
00:29:32This clears Baker.
00:29:34I'll tell you a second.
00:29:56accounts for a warrior.
00:29:56That's for labor to prat kelly.
00:29:57So...
00:29:57Move the car.
00:29:57Now what?
00:29:57I can see what happens!
00:29:57It's just for grades 2 or 3!
00:29:58You don't know?
00:29:58You're doing it before and ya蛇's.
00:30:00You're not going to look out.
00:30:00It's without secrets!
00:30:01I don't know any Spencer!
00:30:02Don't care.
00:30:03kidneys, man.
00:30:03You can see the law.
00:30:27Someone's getting away with the gold.
00:30:29Say, we can catch them in the plane.
00:30:36We're going to head him off to the next station.
00:30:38I'll get the emergency pole.
00:30:42Dad, please.
00:30:44Don't you realize?
00:30:52Larry, wait.
00:30:53You don't understand.
00:30:55Dad, don't.
00:30:56Stop.
00:31:03That's one of Gray's transport planes.
00:31:06I knew that he had a hand in this.
00:31:23I've got him.
00:31:24I've got the wrecker.
00:31:30Walter Gray.
00:31:32Yeah, the head of the air transport line.
00:31:34The one man who had good reason to want to wreck our train.
00:31:38That's a lie.
00:31:38Who is this crazy fool?
00:31:40It's Tom Jordan.
00:31:41He used to work for the road.
00:31:43Yeah, you're the one that made me lose my job.
00:31:45You slugged me and caused the wreck.
00:31:47I don't know anything about it.
00:31:48Just what are you doing here, Mr. Gray?
00:31:51Why, uh, I, uh, I was flying overhead and saw the train crash and came down to see if I
00:31:57could help.
00:31:57You did not.
00:31:58You're on the train.
00:31:59I had my eye on you from the start.
00:32:01But you gave me the slip just before the wreck.
00:32:03I'm sorry, Mr. Gray.
00:32:05But we'll have to hold you until we clear this up.
00:32:08Why, this is ridiculous.
00:32:11I better phone ahead and stop the engine at Junction Point.
00:32:13Look, here's the car.
00:32:15We can chase the engine.
00:32:16Good.
00:32:17You see that Mr. Gray here has turned over to the authorities.
00:32:20And you better stick with him, Jordan.
00:32:22We'll overtake the train at the junction.
00:32:34You talk like a fool.
00:32:36If I hadn't run off to the express car, those robbers would have got the gold.
00:32:39But, Dad, the railroad company already believes that you're the wreck.
00:32:42This makes it look worse.
00:32:44I'm not trying to steal the gold.
00:32:45It gives me a whip hand over the railroad.
00:32:48A whip hand?
00:32:50What do you mean, Dad?
00:32:52They sent me to prison on frame-up.
00:32:54They held out evidence that would have cleared me.
00:32:57And they'll either produce that evidence,
00:32:59or they'll never get this gold again.
00:33:03You...
00:33:03Wait, Larry!
00:33:05He's my father.
00:33:06Your father?
00:33:07Yes.
00:33:08He's trying to save the gold from the wrecker.
00:33:10He thought you were one of his gangs.
00:33:12Oh, so you're working for the railroad, eh?
00:33:16Yeah.
00:33:17I'm working for the railroad.
00:33:23He was an old man.
00:33:24No, no, no.
00:33:35No, I'm not looking for the railroad, but you're not looking for the railroad.
00:33:36No, no, no!
00:33:37There's not still then.
00:33:38I'm sure it's a little odd.
00:33:38I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
00:33:39No.
00:33:42No, no!
00:33:42No, no, no, no, no.
00:33:44No, no.
00:33:45No, I have.
00:33:48No, no, no, no.
00:33:51They've got the jumbo where they saw it to death.
00:34:06The engine's stopping.
00:34:08Bring it around, Sandy.
00:34:10We're landing.
00:34:27We need it.
00:34:28No one else.
00:34:30Let's see.
00:34:31It's over here.
00:34:32It's over here.
00:34:43We need it.
00:34:48We need to be moving.
00:34:49Well, they shan't get that gold.
00:34:51Wait a minute.
00:34:51We can't face that machine gun.
00:34:54I've got a better plan.
00:35:23Get ready to go.
00:35:25We'll come back, Sandy.
00:35:26Okay.
00:36:13Hide in here until I get the rest of the gold aboard.
00:36:31All set to go, Sandy?
00:36:33Okay.
00:36:53Let's go.
00:36:54Barney!
00:36:54Look out!
00:36:56Larry Baker's on the plane.
00:37:12Look out!
00:37:13Keep low!
00:37:26there's Maintenant a little away from the industry now.
00:37:37Harry, you're trying to find our guns away too.
00:37:43Very difficult, I am And I cannot remember
00:37:46I've got him.
00:38:00Count 10 before you pull the cord.
00:38:02You'll be all right.
00:38:15If she hadn't crashed so far away, we'd still have a chance of getting the gold.
00:38:22I've got it.
00:38:24The engine.
00:38:25You're right.
00:38:26We can get her running.
00:38:27We can run down there in no time.
00:38:40Dad!
00:38:41Dad, where are you?
00:38:44Dad!
00:38:45Dad, are you all right?
00:38:47All right so far, Gloria.
00:38:52Dad!
00:38:54We must get this gold away from here at once before the wreckers' gang arrive.
00:38:57But they're miles away from here now, Dad.
00:38:59But they must have seen the plane crash, and they're sure to follow us.
00:39:02Well, there must be a farmhouse around here where we can get a car.
00:39:05Yes, that's a good idea.
00:39:09Dad, what is this?
00:39:11Oh, I hurt my leg when I landed, I guess.
00:39:15Now, you two go after a car, and I'll wait until you get back.
00:39:18I'd better wait here with Dad.
00:39:19He seems to be badly hurt.
00:39:22Please go alone.
00:39:23I'll be back soon.
00:39:26Now, quick, quick.
00:39:27We've no time to waste.
00:39:30Well, Dad, you're not hurt at all.
00:39:34Oh, well, I had to do that in order to get Becker to leave us here alone, so he wouldn't
00:39:39suspect anything.
00:39:41Dad, you're not going to steal the gold.
00:39:45I'm going to use it as a weapon to fight the railroad.
00:39:47But that's not the way to clear yourself.
00:39:49I'm justified in using any means against the people that sent me to prison a false charge.
00:39:53They held out evidence that would have cleared me.
00:39:55And either they'll produce that evidence, or they'll never see that gold again.
00:39:58Don't you see you're only making it worse?
00:40:00Oh, nothing is worse than rotting in jail when you know that you're innocent.
00:40:03Don't you see that they're doomed?
00:40:26Careful, Matthews.
00:40:32I think I saw a light flash in the cab of that engine.
00:40:35Yeah?
00:40:36Well, you get your gun ready.
00:40:38We'll hand those birds a little surprise.
00:40:45It's the railroad station.
00:40:47They left their car in the bridge.
00:40:49Let's crash.
00:41:12What's that?
00:41:13It's not our car.
00:41:21Hurry, Gloria.
00:41:22This is the last box.
00:41:33I'll take it out of your deposit.
00:41:35I'll take it out of your deposit.
00:41:36I'll take it out of your deposit.
00:41:53Gloria.
00:41:56Gloria.
00:42:05We can't be far from it now.
00:42:11There they are.
00:42:25Stand where you are, Baker.
00:42:30We're going to save you the trouble of getting that gold out of planes.
00:42:34Here, Sandy.
00:42:35Watch him while we get the stuff out.
00:42:45Hey, what you got there, Baker?
00:42:47It ain't here.
00:42:48The gold's gone.
00:42:56The gold's gone.
00:42:57Baker's got the gold.
00:42:58Stop him!
00:43:27Don't come any further, Dad.
00:43:28Someone might recognize you.
00:43:48Don't come any further, Dad.
00:43:49I'll call him in a few minutes.
00:44:37Don't come any further.
00:44:38Like, I'm not already.
00:44:38No, what did he do?
00:44:38No, I'm not.
00:44:38I'm leaving.
00:44:39Oh, my God.
00:44:39You're leaving.
00:44:46Oh, my God.
00:44:48What did you get there?
00:45:27He's making for the trestle.
00:46:12Anybody hurt?
00:46:13No, I guess not.
00:46:15But the thief we were chasing got away.
00:46:16Lucky you weren't killed.
00:46:18Well, I'll have to read it.
00:46:19You'd better come back to town with me.
00:46:44There's the Jane that was with Baker.
00:46:46She knows where the gold is.
00:46:48We've got to get a hold of her.
00:46:51She'll tell.
00:46:53You slip off the train to the next station and phone Jake
00:46:56and tell him to meet the train with the taxi at the terminal.
00:47:22My very own.
00:47:30Block the train.
00:47:35Click the car that has on the bus!
00:47:37I'm going to get the train.
00:47:39I'm going to get a hold of her.
00:47:43I'm going, no.
00:47:44It's like it's not getting any trouble.
00:47:44Who's up with my car?
00:47:44Your car is home.
00:47:44They've got a new car that's for me.
00:47:44I don't want to get dressed, I don't want to get dressed.
00:47:45Oh, my God.
00:48:16Where's the wrecker?
00:48:18Here he is now.
00:48:23Walter Gray.
00:48:25So you're the wrecker.
00:48:27Never mind that.
00:48:29All we want out of you is where Baker hid the gold.
00:48:36You'd better come through.
00:48:37We knew you were with Baker when he stole the paint.
00:48:41Speak up, all right?
00:48:49I'm giving you just one more chance to talk.
00:48:53Up with your hands, every one of you.
00:48:54Larry!
00:48:55Quick, Gloria, get the police while I keep them covered.
00:49:07So you're the wrecker.
00:49:09The man who murdered my father.
00:49:12I swore I'd get you.
00:49:14I swore I'd get you.
00:49:15The man who murdered my father.
00:49:15I swore I'd get you.
00:49:17You're not going to shoot me down in cold blood?
00:49:22Why shouldn't I?
00:49:23You didn't give my father a chance, did you?
00:49:27Don't shoot him. He knows where the gold is.
00:49:35What's the rush, sister?
00:49:38No, you don't.
00:49:39You're staying right here, until the wrecker gets through with you.
00:50:08Hands up, I've got you covered.
00:50:10No, you haven't dropped that gun, Baker.
00:50:23Can't see me, eh?
00:50:25Well, that's too bad.
00:50:28What did you do with the gold bars you took for my men today?
00:50:32Surprised you, eh?
00:50:33I think I was expecting you.
00:50:36Something must have gone wrong.
00:50:40I'm not going to wait any longer.
00:50:43Rekker's not going to get away from me this time.
00:50:47Go ahead and shoot.
00:50:49That's the signal the detectives are waiting for.
00:50:53Oh, it kind of worries you, eh?
00:51:09Go ahead and shoot the gun.
00:51:27The wreck, I've killed it!
00:51:38Larry Baker, the man we met in the hall was the wrecker, wearing a mask.
00:51:44You search the house, the rest of you outside.
00:51:47He can't be far away.
00:52:05Did you see any sign of him?
00:52:06Uh-uh.
00:52:14The wrecker.
00:52:20But Baker's gone.
00:52:41Stay where you are.
00:52:44I've got you at last.
00:52:47Take out that mask and let's see who you are.
00:53:20Good boy.
00:53:22Good boy.
00:53:30Grab hold here and get him out of the car.
00:53:33Larry Baker.
00:53:34Say, what did you want to bring his body here for?
00:53:37He's not dead, you fool.
00:53:39He ain't.
00:53:41But you told us we were to...
00:53:42I know what I said.
00:53:44But Baker knows where the gold is.
00:53:46We've got to make him talk first.
00:53:48Pull him out and see if you can bring him too.
00:54:06He's dead to the world.
00:54:07You must have hit him unawful, Wallop.
00:54:11Well, I can't wait till he recovers.
00:54:14I've got to get back to the office.
00:54:16If I'm not there in the morning, it may arouse suspicion.
00:54:19As soon as he comes to, make him talk and phone me.
00:54:48Get that rope and we'll tie him up.
00:54:55That'll hold him till he wakes up.
00:54:57Come on.
00:54:57Let's finish our game.
00:55:17What's that?
00:55:18Sit down and play your hand.
00:55:19If you're going to jump every time a rat runs across this room,
00:55:22you'll give us all the willies.
00:55:27Be careful.
00:55:28They're in the next room.
00:55:29The door's open.
00:55:31He's tall as long as you can.
00:55:33I'll get word to Glory to send help.
00:55:37No.
00:55:38That'll take too long.
00:55:39I have a veteran.
00:55:41The Wrecker thinks I know where the gold chipping is hidden.
00:55:44If I can trick him out in the open,
00:55:46we stand a good chance of capturing him.
00:55:49And his gang, too.
00:55:52Yes.
00:55:53Now you go to work it.
00:56:06Everything's okay.
00:56:07You can see for yourself.
00:56:08There's nothing to get jumpy about.
00:56:09Don't.
00:56:16Don't.
00:56:22We hunted around for the rest of the night, Mr. Edwards.
00:56:25But we couldn't find a trace of the Wrecker or how we got Larry Baker away.
00:56:29You've got to find it.
00:56:30These mysterious attacks on the Hurricane Express are ruining this railroad.
00:56:34Yes.
00:56:35They're making plenty of business for Walter Gray's air transport company.
00:56:39How about Gray?
00:56:40Are you having him watched?
00:56:42No, sir.
00:56:43Well, do so at once.
00:56:44We've got to find Larry Baker and a masked wreck.
00:56:48Hemingway, get over to the airport at once.
00:56:51Don't let Walter Gray get out of your sight.
00:56:53Okay, Chief.
00:57:18Come in.
00:57:21Gloria, this is a pleasure.
00:57:27What brings you here?
00:57:28Nothing, Mr. Gray, except that I've lost my job.
00:57:32Oh.
00:57:34My previous offer still holds good.
00:57:37Why not come to work for me, Gloria?
00:57:42When do you want me to stop?
00:57:43Right now.
00:57:44I'll show you your office.
00:57:52I've held this in reserve for you a long time.
00:58:07Hello, Mr. Jordan.
00:58:10Good morning.
00:58:15Can I have a word with you, Mr. Gray?
00:58:17Sure.
00:58:18Go right into my office.
00:58:23I'll be with you in a minute, Gloria.
00:58:33You're taking an awful chance having that girl in this office.
00:58:35Oh, nonsense.
00:58:36She can't do any harm.
00:58:37And I tell you, we're under suspicion now.
00:58:40You've got to be careful.
00:58:49Hello?
00:58:51Dad!
00:58:53I've had a hard time trying to locate you, Gloria.
00:58:56Larry is leading the Wrecker's gang to Logan Flats.
00:59:00The Wrecker's going to meet them there.
00:59:01Larry is gambling with death.
00:59:03The Wrecker will kill him the moment that he finds out that he can't produce the gold.
00:59:06Get help and...
00:59:06All right, Dad. I'll hurry.
00:59:18Mr. Edwards, please.
00:59:22Hello, Mr. Edwards.
00:59:23This is Gloria Martin.
00:59:25Larry Baker is planning to trap the Wrecker.
00:59:27If you send your detectives out to Logan Flats, you can capture him and his gang.
00:59:31How do I know this isn't some trick of yours?
00:59:34But Larry is taking this desperate chance to capture the Wrecker.
00:59:37You've got to believe me.
00:59:41I'll go out there with your men myself.
00:59:43All right.
00:59:45I'll have Matthews round up his men and meet you in front of the building.
01:00:00I'll go out there with him.
01:00:00Quick, Mr. Hemingway.
01:00:01Mr. Edwards wants you.
01:00:04They're going to capture the Wrecker.
01:00:06I've got to stay here and...
01:00:07You've got to go.
01:00:08There isn't a moment to lose.
01:00:10Well, Larry's life is at stake.
01:00:18Hey, what did I tell you?
01:00:23They must have overheard us.
01:00:26What if they did?
01:00:27We'll beat them out there in my plane.
01:00:42Let me go, Larry.
01:00:43You get out there as fast as you can.
01:00:44I'll follow in my car.
01:01:28This is the place you
01:01:29said Baker now show us where you've hidden the gold well I've got to get my bearings first there was

01:04:47But Dad, how can you be so sure of that?
01:04:49I can't tell you now, Gloria, but I know it.
01:04:52Well, one thing is certain, Dad.
01:04:54You've got to give the gold back to the real world.
01:04:55What?
01:04:57And give up the only chance that I have a fortune then to clear me?
01:05:00Well, that's the best thing for you to do.
01:05:02But Edward's death has changed the situation entirely.
01:05:05Now we know that he wasn't holding back the information that had cleared you.
01:05:09Larry is right, Dad.
01:05:10The fifth of the gold is the one to give it back to them.
01:05:13The record is the one we must get.
01:05:16All right.
01:05:18I'll do it.
01:05:18Oh, Dad.
01:05:21Well, I never did believe that you were responsible for wrecking the Hurricane Express.
01:05:26Report for duty.
01:05:27I'll see that you get your old run back.
01:05:29Thank you, sir.
01:05:37Hello.
01:05:38Yes.
01:05:40Steven Stalking.
01:05:43Who?
01:05:45Stratten?
01:05:47You have the gold chipper that was stolen from the Hurricane Express.
01:05:50We'll find it in the old Forsyte mine.
01:05:54Thirty-five places from the entrance to the north tunnel.
01:05:57Is that right?
01:05:58Yes.
01:05:59Yes.
01:06:00Yes.
01:06:01You've got to hand it to the wrecker.
01:06:03I'll bet the detectors are howling yet about the way we rescued Gray.
01:06:11Fine chance you've got to prove you ain't the wrecker now.
01:06:14So that's the wrecker's game, huh?
01:06:16To fasten his guilt onto me.
01:06:18Sure.
01:06:19That's why he let you live.
01:06:21While the police are hunting you, the wrecker will be sitting free and easy.
01:06:26With nobody suspecting him.
01:06:30He's smart, all right.
01:06:34Hello.
01:06:37Yes.
01:06:38It's the boss.
01:06:43Yeah, sure, Chief.
01:06:45Right away.
01:06:46The wrecker says the gold is hidden in the abandoned mine shaft.
01:06:49The railroad detectors are on their way there now.
01:06:52We've got to beat them to it.
01:07:04The wrecker's learned of your message to Stevens, and he's beating the railroad detectives to the gold.
01:07:12It won't be long now, Mr. Stanton.
01:07:14We'll wait until the wrecker's about to enter the mine, and then we'll bring our little surprise.
01:07:26The wrecker's not with him.
01:07:28He's not with us after all.
01:07:32They're not with us, Mr. Stratton.
01:07:43They're not with us.
01:07:53Not with you, Mr. Stratton.
01:07:58See, he's giving us a signal now.
01:08:06I thought you said you were going to wear a gray mask.
01:08:09We nearly shot you by mistake.
01:08:11I had to change my plans the last minute in order to fool Baker.
01:08:15Get busy, boys. The gold's over here.
01:08:21Clear that stuff away.
01:08:23Hustle now. The gold is under.
01:08:29The gold is last.
01:08:31They won't get it away from us this time.
01:08:33It all looks good to me.
01:08:34Don't move. I've got you covered.
01:08:37Very good.
01:08:42Okay, Lowdy. We've got him.
01:08:43Big Stratton himself.
01:08:46Yes, thanks to Stratton, I've got you.
01:08:48And I'll get the wrecker, too.
01:08:50All right, good. We'll have it.
01:08:53Look out, Stratton.
01:08:54Stuck for your life.
01:08:55Sniffles, roll out.
01:08:56Ding, ding.
01:08:56Ding, ding, ding...
01:09:22You meet up on Stratten, I'll take care of it.
01:09:32Larry Baker, the Wreckers gang has him cornered.
01:09:36They gotta stop that machine gun first.
01:10:04Now we'll get the rest of the gang.
01:10:13The railroad detectives got left, we'll have to beat them.
01:10:22Quick, Matthew! Stop!
01:10:24You're ahead of me.
01:10:25I'm going to play.
01:10:36Officer, give us the flip again.
01:10:43That's because they didn't get the gold.
01:10:46Come on, I'll tell you where it is.
01:10:53Well, there it is, Matthews.
01:10:54You showed up just in time to save it.
01:11:08Well, the sooner we get this stuff out of here, the better.
01:11:10I'll help you put it in your car.
01:11:32I'll help you.
01:11:34Hello? Operator?
01:11:37This is an emergency call.
01:11:39Get me, Crestview, 4211.
01:11:49Hello?
01:11:50The Wreckers gang are holding me a prisoner in a warehouse near the freight yards.
01:11:54Yes, Mr. Gray, I know where it is. I'll be right over.
01:12:15Gloria.
01:12:17Oh!
01:12:19Why didn't you want me to call the police?
01:12:22Well, the fact is, Gloria, I'm afraid the wrecker is your father.
01:12:42Quick, hi, Gloria.
01:12:53We'd have got the loot easy if those detectives hadn't showed up when they did.
01:12:56What are we going to tell the wrecker now?
01:12:58So, you failed.
01:13:01Never mind the excuses now.
01:13:03We have one more chance to get our hands on the gold.
01:13:10Stevens has ordered it shipped on the Hurricane Express tonight.
01:13:14I'll be on the engine myself and stop it at the sighting near Ash Forks.
01:13:19The two of you will be there with a cart to take the gold away.
01:13:23Get going now and see that there's no slipping up this time.
01:13:35Come on. He won't get away. I tied the knot myself.
01:13:44Now you believe my father's not the wrecker.
01:13:47I never dreamed it was Jordan. Hurry, Gloria.
01:13:50We must warn the railroad.
01:13:51No. If we do that, they'll never get the wrecker.
01:13:54Larry Baker's the one we must warn.
01:13:56Come on.
01:14:04They should be here by this time, Larry.
01:14:07The Hurricane Express will be along in any minute.
01:14:09Yeah.
01:14:11Here they come now.
01:14:31Look out, Sammy.
01:14:34Look out, Sammy.
01:14:55Look out, Sammy.
01:14:56I'll give you another one, Thyp for a free cast.
01:15:11About one day.
01:15:12Oh, too.
01:15:16Oh, I'll be alone.
01:15:25I'm happy I'm happy.
01:15:26You'll need a sucker.
01:15:26Oh, my God.
01:16:03Let's go.
01:16:32Let's go.
01:17:00What's the meaning of this, Jordan?
01:17:01Why, the wrecker struck me down.
01:17:02The faker got it.
01:17:03And the wrecker is gray after all.
01:17:06No, he isn't.
01:17:08Walter's gray.
01:17:09Then the wrecker's wearing a mask.
01:17:14He's in bad shape.
01:17:16See if there's a doctor on the train, Bill.
01:17:27Help me get this mask off him, Hemi.
01:17:40Mr. Stevens, the wrecker.
01:17:45You know?
01:17:47Your father and I discovered the truth today, but we had no proof.
01:17:51That's why your father returned the gold to the railroad.
01:17:53To set a trap for Stephen.
01:18:10So you've got me, Matthew.
01:18:12But you wouldn't have done it if Baker hadn't.
01:18:15Leave me alone.
01:18:16You can't do anything for me.
01:18:20I can't last very long.
01:18:30Dad!
01:18:34Stratton!
01:18:35Wait.
01:18:36Stratton's innocent.
01:18:39I framed him.
01:18:45I wanted to be general manager, so I started to get rid of Stratton.
01:18:51Directors gave Edwards the job, so I had to use other means.
01:18:57I caused all the wrecks in order to ruin the railroad so that I could buy it at my own
01:19:04price.
01:19:04I meant to use the gold, but to glance my scheme.
01:19:14I'm sorry, Stratton.
01:19:16I hope.
01:19:29I congratulate you, Stratton.
01:19:31When you're back as general manager of the railroad, I hope we can get together and merge our lines into
01:19:36a real transport company.
01:19:39Combining the best features of rail and air for public service.
01:19:43And, Larry, if you can forget the rotten way I've treated you, I would like to have you back as
01:19:48chief pilot.
01:19:50Thank you, Mr. J.
01:19:52Get back to your cab, Jordan.
01:19:54The hurricane express must go through on time.
01:19:58.
01:20:04.
01:20:05.
01:20:05.
