- All right, Bud.

Let's give it a try.

- Hey, Dad.

Dad, I got it.

- ls it from the Coast Guard Academy?

- Yep-

- Well, are you in or are you out?

- I don't know.

I was scared to open it.

- Well, you don't want me to open it, do you?

- Oh, well.

Okay)!-

I made it.

They accepted me.

- Congratulations, Sandy.

- Nice going, Sandy.

- ls that the rest of the mail?

- Well, when do you have to report?

- September 11th.

Hey, we can leave together.

I can drop you off in Boston and go on to New London.

Wouldn't that be great?

- Will it?

Look.

' Hey, Flipper!

Come back here!

What's the matter with him?

- Well, he's upset because the both of us are leaving.

- What do we do?

- Well, I know what I'm doing.

I'm staying here with Flipper.

- Oh, Bud.

- Well, I am.

- Dad went to a lot of trouble setting it up

so you could stay in Boston and go to that school.

How do you think he's gonna feel?

He thinks you wanna go.

- Well, I do, Sandy.

But, how was I supposed to know Flipper

was gonna get this upset?

I'm just gonna write Aunt Martha

and tell her I've changed my mind.

Besides, I couldn't study while worrying about Flipper.

? They call him Flipper, Flipper

? Faster than lightning

? No one you see, is smarter than he

? And we know Flipper lives in a world full of wonder

? Lying there under

? Under the sea

- If you can find Flipper,

I'm sure it will make Bud feel a lot better.

Take the auto horn.

- Okay, Dad.

- Go get it.

- Come on.

- Come on.

- Come on, Rink.

Come on.

- Go get it.

- Go get it.

Come on.

- Come on.

- Come on.

Bring it here, baby.

Come on, bring it here.

Rink, what's the matter?

- He lost his ball in the water.

See?

Dirk, what's that?

- I think it's a seal.

- Let me try.

- That's a trained seal.

- Maybe it was just an accident and he didn't mean it.

Oh:?

Come on, Rink.

Let me have it.

- Dirk, Liz.

You promised to change your clothes

and help unpack your things.

- In a minute, Mom.

- We're just making friends.

- Friends?

Now, you get away from him.

Shoo.

Scat, go away.

- Gosh, Mom.

You didn't have to scare him.

- Scare that thing?

- Hi, Flipper.

- You mean that creature is your pet?

- More like one of the family.

My name is Sandy Ricks.

My dad's a park ranger over at Coral Key.

Okay, okay.

And that's Flipper.

He's a dolphin.

- Well, I'm sorry I was so rude to your pet.

My name is Fran Whitman and this is my son, Dirk,

and my daughter, Liz.

- Hi.

- Oh, and that is Rink.

- He's one of our family.

- Hey, look.

Rink wants to play some more.

- Can Flipper stay a while?

- Sure.

- Well, it doesn't look like I'm going to have much help

with the unpacking, now does it?

- Maybe I could give you a hand.

- Oh, would you?

That place is such a mess.

I had no idea it would be so rundown.

- What did you do, buy it sight unseen?

- No, I inherited it.

Captain Ellis was my Grand Uncle.

My lawyer in Dayton, that's where we're from.

All of us.

Dayton, Ohio.

Well anyway, he said I'm a very lucky woman.

- He could be right.

Marine supply can be a good business down here.

- Unfortunately, I don't know the first thing

about business, let alone boats.

My husband would've loved all this, though.

But, now I guess I'll just have to sell.

- What would you do then?

- Oh, go back to Dayton.

It's a shame, too.

Look.

The children seem to love it here so much already.

- Yeah, I'll say they do.

Look, why don't I go get my dad and my brother?

We'll have this place shipshape for you in no time.

- Sandy, that's awfully sweet of you, but.

- And I'll give you a hand running it

till you learn the ropes, okay?

Don't give me an answer yet, Mrs. Whitman.

Let me talk to my dad first.

- All right.

- Hmm.

You know, I think we're finally starting to get somewhere.

- Sure.

It'll go even faster when my brother gets here.

He'll be over as soon as he finishes his chores.

- Isn't this pretty?

- It's all dusty.

I'll have to get you some new ones.

- I mean, the park.

- The Everglades?

It's one of the prettiest parks in the country.

There's all kinds of birds and animals there.

- Alligators?

Where is this park anyways?

- Well, you're practically in it.

Starts just behind the store and goes clear across Florida.

- Gosh, I can hardly wait to see it.

- Yes, well you never will unless we

get this place straightened up.

- Sure, Mom.

Hey, Mom.

Look what else we found.

- It still plays.

- So I can hear.

Now, take it outside.

- All right, if you don't want us to help.

- Can we get something to eat, too?

- Just a snack.

It's almost lunchtime.

There's some fruit out there if you want it.

I don't know, must be the sea air.

- Best thing in the world for them.

- Let's think of something we all can play.

- I know, we can go down to the park.

- But, Sandy said there were animals there.

Alligators.

- So what?

They'll all be in cages.

It's a park, isn't it?

Besides, we'll have Rink with us.

Oh, and Flipper, too.

We'll follow the beach road

until we come to a river, or something.

Then, we'll follow that right into the park

and that we he can stay right with us.

- That's a good idea.

Come on, Rink!

- Come on, Flipper!

- Hi.

I'm Bud Ricks.

Sandy's my brother.

You must be Liz and Dirk.

- That's right.

- That's a nice dog you got there.

- He and Flipper are friends.

- Yeah, I can see that.

How about you and Flipper?

- Us, too.

- He's more fun than anything.

- How would you like to play with him every single day?

- You'll have to excuse us now.

We're going to the park for a picnic.

- Listen, Flipper.

If you wanna go with them you can,

'cause I gotta lot of work to do.

- Hey, look.

Isn't this the greatest?

- Aw, it's just an old boat.

- It happens to be just what we need.

Hey, it's even got a paddle

so I could push us along the water.

Come on, help me get it in.

- We're supposed to stay out of boats.

Mother said so.

- Liz, we'll keep next to shore all the way.

- We will?

- I promise.

- All right then.

- Come on, Rink.

Come on.

Come on, get in the boat.

Come on, help me get it into the water.

- Dirk, you broke your promise.

We're nowhere near the shore.

- Don't worry, Liz.

I'll get us back somehow.

. How?

- I'll think of something.

- Dirk?

- What?

- You better think fast.

My feet are getting wet.

- Bail!

Hey, here's a bucket.

Hey, we stopped moving.

Maybe the tide's gone the other way.

- What is it, Flipper?

Dirk, look.

An island.

- Maybe we can get there before we sink.

Come on, paddle.

- It's no use, Dirk.

- Maybe I could think of something else.

- What else is there?

- How can I think with all that noise?

Hey, he wasn't just making noise, he was talking.

And Rink understood.

Gee, I sure am glad Flipper was with us.

- Mrs. Whitman?

All done.

- Oh, really?

That's marvelous.

- Wish we could get him to work that fast at home.

- Well, what next?

- Lunch.

It's almost ready.

Oh, will you call the children for me?

- For lunch?

But, when I met them on the way over here,

they said they were going to a picnic in the park,

but they were headed outside Coral Key.

- You don't think?

- What?

- They were looking at that book.

- You mean, Everglades National Park?

That's not a park, that's a jungle.

- Hey, wait a minute.

They couldn't go in too far.

Flipper and Rink are with them.

- Come on.

Don't worry, Mrs. Whitman.

It won't take us long to find them.

- What's he trying to tell us now?

- Probably not to worry.

We're gonna be all right, Liz.

- Sorry, Mrs. Whitman.

We didn't see any sign of them.

- But, you said they couldn't have gone very far.

- Don't worry.

It won't take a real search party long to find them.

I'll call my dad.

- All right, Sandy.

We'll keep in touch with these.

I've got one, you've got the other one.

Now, if you hear anything, let me know right away.

Do you understand?

- Okay, Dad.

And Mrs. Whitman, I know it's difficult,

but try not to worry about your children.

We'll find them.

- They'll be okay.

They're with Flipper.

- All right, Bud.

Let's go.

- All right, Dad.

- My dad wasn't kidding.

He meant it when he said there was a good chance

of finding them.

- Do you know what I'm going to do

the minute he brings them back here?

- Give them a spanking, I guess.

That's what my dad did to us once when we wondered off.

- Yes, well after that.

I'm taking them back to Dayton

on the first plane out of here.

- But, Mrs. Whitman.

- Oh, I know.

I know, they love Florida and they love Flipper.

And look, I like it here myself, but this is just too much.

Excuse me.

- Helicopter, Porter Ricks, 6-1-0.

Do you read me, over?

- Roger, this is helicopter 6-1 -0-4.

- Roger, helicopter.

Have you seen anything?

Anything at all, over?

- No, we haven't seen anything yet,

Porter Ricks.

- All right, I'll keep looking from down here.

Thank you very much.

Porter Ricks out.

- Here is a special Coral Key bulletin.

The Coast Guard and the park service are searching

a section of the Everglades National Park

for two children believed lost.

Dirk Whitman, 12, and his sister Elizabeth, nine.

If anyone has information as to their whereabouts,

communicate with the authorities at once.

- See, I told you.

They're looking for us.

- But, in the wrong place.

- Gosh, that's right.

- We've got to tell them where we are and right away.

- But, how, Liz?

- I don't know, but you always think of things.

Flipper, maybe he can help.

Flipper, listen, please.

Get somebody down here.

They're looking for us in the Everglades.

- Go on.

Be a good boy, Flipper, and help us.

- In the Everglades, Flipper.

- Do you think he really understood?

- Well, Rink thinks he did.

- Do you, boy?

- Be sure to be with us next week

for the conclusion of this exciting adventure.
