What you want? You want my money?

TYPical.

He's losing all his money.

What day was August the 9th 1965?

It was a Thursday.

That's right. I know it was because I was born then.

You must be a genius, Mr. Wooh.

Just a little elementary magic.

I'm sure this boy's father would be just as quick as I am.

Dad's too busy with his inventions, doesn't have time for tricks.

I mean, sometimes he's working in his tower all night.

Tower?

Professor Hayling! Oh Professor, wake up. Hurry, Professor!

Oh dear, the Professor's valuable papers!

Professor! Oh Professor.

Jenny! What is it?

Hurry! Somebody's trying to break into the Tower!

But that's not possible!

You must have imagined it, Jenny.

Professor, I know I heard something!

It takes three keys to get into the tower, even if he climbed in, which I doubt,

they couldn't have got out through the door.

And if he'd climbed down we'd have seen him.

I didn't imagine it. I was looking out of the window.

Anyway, how could anyone know that your secret papers are kept up there?

What was that?

Give me that torch.

Alright, come out of there!

Professor, Professor, be careful!

Come out, I said.

It's Charlie! Jenny, it must have been Charlie you saw climbing the Tower.

I don't mind the circus using our field,

but I'm now having these animals roaming about keeping us up half the night.

I shall call Mr. Tapper to come and fetch him.

Dad, I'll take Charlie back. I know where his cage is.

If we're up, Tapper can get up too.

But you don't understand. He belongs to Sam, his trainer.

Charlie's a bit wild but he's awfully clever and...

I don't care what he is, he's no business in my garden!

Please, Charlie's escaped before, Mr. Tapper'll be furious.

Well that's Mr Tapper's business, not mine.

Please, Sam'll lose his act. Please let me take Charlie back,

he hasn't done any harm.

Oh, very well. Here take this.

You lot going swimming today? The sea should be warm enough.

Yes, why don't we? We could stop by our cottage and get Timmy.

Don't dogs have to go into quarantine?

Don't be daft, Anne!

Well, Timmy was in the house with your cook,

as well as Aunt Fanny and Uncle Quentin.

Dogs go into quarantine for dogs diseases, like rabies.

Don't they Professor?

Yes, Dick's quite right. Look at the time, I must get to work.

Enjoy yourselves!

Well somebody should say something!

Why didn't you come to our tents last night and wake us up

when you took Charlie back?

Well, I thought you didn't want to know, after I lost my temper.

No hard feelings.

I don't understand how Charlie got out though.

Neither do I.

Gave me a fright I can tell you.

I really thought it was someone trying to steal father's papers.

That'll teach you not to go blabbing about your father's work in future.

Especially as it's secret.

I wasn't talking about his work. I was only...

Boasting, as usual!

Leave off you two.

George keeps going on about it!

Well, nice to see we're all friends again!

I just couldn't get back to sleep after all that business last night.

Next time you see your friend Sam.

You might ask him to keep his monkey properly locked up.

He's not a monkey, he's a chimpanzee!

Oh well, whatever he is.

Jenny! Jenny! Come quickly!

Oh, now what?

What's up?

What a mess!

Some of the notes for my new invention are missing.

How can you tell?

They were here, in an orange striped file.

Luckily I was working on most of the papers in bed last night.

So what's left won't be of much use to anybody.

The only other thing missing is a little brass clock I use as a paperweight.

Oh! What a mess! It looks like a wild animal has been let loose in here!

That's probably what it was, that blasted chimpanzee from the circus!

Wait 'til I see that man Tapper!

No, there's nothing here.

I told yer I haven't seen any papers or any clock.

I looked Charlie in myself last night.

Sam, I've told you time and time.

I'm afraid this time he has to go.

My new act is ready.

I'm sorry, Sam. We must find the papers,

before the Professor decides to call the police!

This won't look good for the circus.

Now look what you've done.

Morning Charlie.

Poor Sam. What a rotten thing to happen.

We really think, he didn't know Charlie was free.

Somebody has to let him out.

What who would do a thing like that?

If only we could find the papers and the clock.

They could be anywhere!

Charlie didn't have anything

when we found him by the Tower last night.

Which means he must have dumped them somewhere near your house.

And if we can find them.

We could give them back,

then maybe Mr. Tapper would give Charlie another chance!

There's absolutely nothing there. We've covered every inch of our patch.

Charlie couldn't have gone far,

because it was only moments after Jenny saw him climbing the Tower,

that Dad saw him in the shrubbery.

Oh, poor Sam, he spent all that time training Charlie.

Wait a minute. Supposing Sam had another reason to teach Charlie those tricks.

You mean so that Charlie could break in places and steal things?

A perfect accident. A monkey gets out and...

Oh no, I don't believe that!

Charlie's not a monkey, he's a chimpanzee.

So what, it all fits and Professor Hayling's work

would be worth a lot to the right person.

Look, aren't you forgetting something,

it's not Sam who is interested in the Professor's work.

It's Mr. Wooh.

But Mr Wooh would be interested in my father's work.

He's a mathematician as well as a memory man.

Yes, I'd hate to have to do all that work again from memory.

I really can't thank you enough, Mr Wooh.

Chimpanzees are notorious thieves and fiendishly clever.

I owned one myself once. However, it is I who should be thankful.

That the happy accident of finding your papers fell to me,

thus giving me the honour of nesting you.

I don't know about that.

I mean I believe that you are no mean mathematician yourself.

I couldn't claim to be in the same league as you.

But I hear you perform amazing feats of memory and calculation.

Ah, but your work benefits everybody, not just yourself.

Entertaining the public is important work as well.

You give lectures. The whole world oomes to you.

I expect you get more applause. It must give you great satisfaction.

It's a living, Professor.

Would have to be Mr. Wooh who found the papers,

it would have been nice to cheer Sam up a bit.

At least we can tell Sam the file's been found, come on!

Let's go find the boys.

You don't think Mr. Tapper's given Sam the sack?

Shouldn't think so, Charlie's still here.

Besides the circus opens tomorrow, they need him.

That's Dad's clock, the one that he uses for a paperweight!

But that wasn't there before, they searched the cage.

Which means somebody put it there.

But who? And why?

Maybe somebody wants to get Sam into more trouble.

But it wouldn't, not now the papers have been found.

Unless. Up to now everybody's assumed that it was Charlie

who broke into the tower room, ransacked it and took that file.

But do you know something?

What are you getting at Julian?

Charlie can't read!

It would have to be a terrific concidence that he pinches that one,

he just takes anything.

Which means that whoever is framing Charlie

must know now the file is useless on its own.

You think they'll try again?

Not a chance. I bet Dad'll sleep with his papers underneath his pillow.

But I think I know a way to find out who the real culprit is!

I'm very grateful, Professor.

I've recovered my property, Mr. Tapper, I assure you,

I don't intend to take any further action.

I'm relieved to hear that, only with the circus opening tomorrow night,

we can do without all the bad publicity.

Please don't concern yourself unnecessarily, Mr. Tapper.

Professor, I'm very grateful. Thank you very much.

And you can rest assured that chimpanzee will be kept safely under lock

and key in future. - I'm glad to hear it.

Thank you very much.

Hey Tinker, what's up with you?

Nothing.

It's good enough to fool anyone!

Everybody's backstage, Mr. Tapper's been talking to them.

Sam and Mr. Wash'?

Right, now you remenber what to say, don't you?

Course I do!

Do vou think he'll leave anything out?

Don't worry. Tinker'll tell them everything.

I say, Mr. Wooh, isn't it terrific luck your finding Dad's missing file.

Yeah, wasn't it just!

I'm surprised your father hasn't called the police anyway.

Perhaps you think it was a burglar and not Charlie?

Strange that the papers were found and not the little clock that's all.

That doesn't matter. Dad says those papers aren't any use on their own anyway.

And the really important ones are being taken to Kirrin Island for safety!

I suppose your father is transferring his work there,

very wise in the circumstances.

Only a precaution, just in case,

anyone tries to get their hands on his invention. Now that it's finished.

You really shouldn't be discussing your father's business,

you never know who is listening.

Oh, its okay. Kirrin Island is private property and it would take years

to search the castle ruins!

Well, I don't think you ought go to Kirrin Island on your own, George.

It could be dangerous!

I'll have Timmy with me!

What about Rogers?

Oh, I'm not scared of him.

Anyway, it's my island, it's my boat and I'm the best rower!

Can't argue with that! But remember, George,

the minute you see who gets those papers, you come back!

Timmy!

Be quiet! Timmy!

What'a going on here?

Only me, Mr. Rogers.

Hey, you can't take him, your father expressly said.

Sorry no time to explain.

Hey George. George, come here! George,

I'm not taking responsibility for this!

They're all in the village having supper. Mr. Tapper, Mr. Wooh and Sam.

Blast! We can't follow them all.

We could split up.

Listen!

Somebody's out there.

Uncle Quentin!

Are you alright?

Yes, I'm alright.

Oh, aren't you meant to be in quarantine?

Cook's illness turned out to be nothing but a virus.

And Aunt Pan, is she here?

I'm afraid she went down with it. I seem to be immune. Now, where's George?

Look, Timmy, I can't pull the boat with you. Get out.

Good boy, Timmy. Sit.

Good boy, stay on guard. On guard. Good boy, Tim.

Get away!

How clever of them to send a child, who'd suspect a child

to be carrying anything so valuable. However they're not clever enough,

in no time. I will have memorised all of this.

Sam!

I must say I can't turn my back for two minutes together without you lot

getting into something.

I refuse to be held responsible, Professor Kirrin,

she's wilful, that daughter of yours.

I agree Mr. Rogers, but right now she could be in danger and...

This is Sam's.

Yes, he really had us fooled.

Look, there's a boat been pulled away from here!

He must have gone back to the island. Rogers,

please go back and call the Police! Come on, children!

Are you alright?

Where the heck am I?

Kirrin Island!

Kirrin Island? But I was following Mr. Wooh on the beach.

What for?

I think he's a mixed up in this.

I wanted to catch up with him for what

they've done to me and for making Charlie, the scapegoat.

Don't worry, I know a way out of here through the old well shaft! Come on!

Oh what a night! And what a star in the heaven of invention I'm going to be.

When I've sold these plans, I can develop my true genius.

Of course the beautiful pan is, nobody can lay a finger on us.

They got out!

Now get off, you fool!

Stop them! We must stop them!

Get off, all of you. Get away!

Timmy!

So he used his assistant.

I knew it couldn't be that Mr. Wooh I saw climbing the tower.

Yes, everyone was convinced it was Charlie,

no one speared a thought for Mr. Whoo's Assistant.

And that somebody was letting Charlie out at night.

But why did Mr. Wooh bother to bring back the file to the Professor?

Because he realised it was incomplete when he memorised the papers,

so he brought them back to keep suspicion off himself.

And he planted the clock in Charlie's cage

to keep the suspicion strong in that direction,

so that he could steal the papers later.

AA bit to clever for his own good.

I must say, he took me in completely.

That's why we had to set the trap.

And were nearly caught in it yourself.

Well they certainly saved my bacon.

Chimpanzee, you mean!

Here! That's my sandwich.

Come here!

D'you mind if we come in?

Hello, Mr Tapper.

I reckon, I owe Charlie an apology. And you too, Sam!

No hard feelings, eh, Charlie?

But we'd appreciate it if you could find time to look at our new act.

Mr. Tapper said...

I've been watching you rehearse for the last few days

and what was I was going to say, was: we need a new act to replace Mr. Wooh

when we open tomorrow night. So if anyone has any ideas?
