The chief pilot sends Hunter's men to capture him. The alert Jackie discovers

their arrival and tries to warn Hop.

While Hop and Tank fight it out with others of Hunter's men.

Sounds like they're ducking out.

Let's trail them.

Pop, those men took Dr. Dunbar with them. Yeah, that's who they're after.

Are you all right? I never heard so much shooting. We're okay. You take care of

things here.

You want me to call the sheriff?

No, not until I've had a chance to talk to Arnold.

They tried to run over me.

I'll get them for that.

You leave it to Hop and Tank. They can handle them.

They're turning off.

Doesn't this road go to the barn where they hid the gold?

Yeah, but I didn't think they'd use it again so soon.

What was that?

It sounds like a car rolling away.

Yeah.

Let's find that door Jackie was talking about.

Let's go in and take them.

I want to see if they're here. Then we'll go get some help. We don't need

any help. I can take six of those guys. Shh.

Out the back way.

So they turned yellow on us and ran out.

Not exactly.

They left that car behind to throw us off the track and then took Dr. Tobor

away in the other car. And we fell for it.

FH to Chief Pilot. FH to Chief Pilot.

Reporting. Over.

Chief Pilot speaking.

Come in, FH.

Mission accomplished.

No pursuit.

Awaiting orders.

Over. Okay, your location?

20 miles.

F-5-0.

Over. Proceed there. Show every courtesy to our friend. Take every precaution for

his safety.

Orders received and understood.

All.

If it is I you're calling your friend, you'll get nothing out of me.

Even if you kill me.

Why, we've no idea of doing that.

Or even of harming you.

All we're interested in is keeping your great invention out of the wrong hands.

Do you really mean that?

Why, of course we do.

Perhaps I've got you wrong.

We're on the side of a mountain overlooking the desert. You'll find it a

quiet place to rest.

But I don't want to rest. I have a lot of work to do.

That's right, and we're here to help you. In the meantime, there's a meal in

a comfortable room waiting for you. This way, doctor.

Gee, I'm glad you're back. Did you get him? No, we fell for an old trick and

lost him.

I'm going in and call Arnold.

Thank you you didn't fall for that old decoy trick, did you?

Yeah.

But you wait till I get my hands on him. I'll just... You know, they're going to

try to get Dr.

Tobar's invention.

But I bet you he won't give them to him.

He's too smart.

Will somebody tell me what happened?

Is Mr. Arnold there, please?

No, this is Craven, the secretary.

Who's this?

Uh, this is Hop Harrigan. Can you get hold of Mr. Arnold?

No, he's out in the car.

We were just starting for your place.

We have some important news for you.

Well, I have some important news, too.

Can't it wait till we get there?

No, it can't. Somebody raided us and took Dr. Tobor.

Tobor's gone, huh?

We suspected that.

What do you mean, you suspected it? You'll see why when we get there.

Goodbye.

I just talked to Arnold's secretary, and he said they already knew Tobor had been

taken. So quick?

Say, there's something wrong there.

We don't suppose Mr. Arnold has anything to do with this, do you?

No, of course not. Arnold wouldn't be mixed up in a thing like that.

Besides, Tobor's his partner.

Well, then how did he know?

Craven said he'd tell us all about it when they get here.

We knew something had happened to Dr. Tobor when we received this letter.

Craven found it on his desk after the office was closed.

As you'll notice, it doesn't demand any ransom.

So it may not be from the people who are holding Dr. Dubois.

No, it seems to be from somebody who knows where he is and is willing to sell

the information. What's it say here? Will you move your thumb?

He wants someone to meet him in the desert to make a deal.

Oh, that he's smart.

He could see someone coming for miles.

Yeah, especially if he were up in a plane.

Now, don't be getting any more funny ideas.

You going to meet him?

No.

We should do that for me, if you will.

All right. Under one condition.

What's that?

The tank and I can look the place over first from the air.

Oh, that might frighten them away.

Then we'll never contact Dr. Tobor. Oh, we wouldn't frighten them away. As a

matter of fact, we might learn something. Find a possible hideout.

Well, all right. You're doing it. Handle it your own way.

you find him. Let him have it? What with?

Listen, Sprout, we brought you along to look, not to talk.

Watch especially for buildings near that spot.

Later we can go down on the ground and examine them more closely.

This guy, Tober, may be all you say he is, but to me, the headache.

I see.

You want me to take two of you to my laboratory?

Yes. Then we can arrange to have it guarded.

I must communicate with my assistant first.

By radio.

Go ahead.

There's the best set in this part of the country.

I may have to make some changes.

I use a wavelength that's not on the usual bands.

Go as far as you like, doctor.

Take it apart if you want.

Do you need any tools?

No. I always carry a small set here.

Well, if there's anything you want, just ask for it.

We want you to know that we're your friend.

You'll come here in our plane.

You will take this course.

I will direct you by radio.

We'll make use of our emergency plan.

Do you understand?

Yes, you're being held by your enemies. They must be destroyed.

I'll be in the air in five minutes.

He's stalling.

Flying Tober's plane.

Well, he must be looking for Tober, too.

Maybe Rettner knows where he is.

Look at that ship travel.

Rettner, you say there's another plane nearby?

Who is in it?

Harrigan.

Harrigan, eh?

He wants you to land?

Then do it.

Find a way to disable him or his plane.

Then resume your course.

Stay within the power beam, or you'll not be able to return to headquarters.

He said something about Harrigan.

Arnold must have contacted him about that letter we sent.

I didn't expect him so soon.

We ought to take care of that, Mettler.

We will.

You say you're landing?

Good.

Let me know when you're in the air again.

Let's see if that guy is funny-looking as Dr. Tobar.

No, not quite.

You'd better stand by. There may be trouble.

Okay.

What's that for?

To end your interference.

But we're trying to help you.

We do not need any help.

That's what you think.

Listen, your boss is in a jam.

I know all about him.

Do you know where he is? Perhaps I do.

At least we know what we're doing. And that is not meddling in the affairs of

others. Well, that doesn't. You try to help people and all you get is abuse.

Now, if you'll turn around and head back toward your own plane.

Slowly.

to fix your plane so you won't interfere any further.

What about us?

I have a plan to take care of you also.

That so?

May I ask what that plan is?

You'll find out when I'm ready to let you know.

All right, both of you, turn your backs to me.

Nice going, Jackie.

Now, where were you going to meet Dr. Tobor?

Don't you realize he's in danger? That you're being led into a trap too?

Okay, then we'll have to do it the hard way.

Take him in there and tie him up. Then what?

I'm going to change places with him in that other plane.

What?

Why, you can't fly that thing.

I couldn't fly anything once, but I learned.

But Hop, suppose I get you too.

You and Tank will keep me covered from the air. If anything goes wrong, try to

get help.

It's our only chance to find out where they're keeping Tobor.

Okay, but this is the craziest thing you ever dreamed up.

All right, Ratner, get in the ship.

Ratner, where are you?

Why don't you answer me?

Something's gone wrong.

All right, now.

Remain at that altitude.

Await orders.

He's on his course again. Where can he land?

There's a place several miles from here. I'll tell you exactly where it is.

And he can land there. Is that clear?

Perfectly.

Retina, listen carefully.

Here's where you'll land.

Use the C-band.

Have Dean and Fraser follow in the ray truck. They think we'll need it? Yes.

Something's gone wrong somewhere. I don't like his mention of Harrigan.

car corner beside him, and some men are getting out.

Control to FH, command emergency.

Control to FH, command emergency.

FH to Control, go ahead.

Plane serving our altitude about 7,000 feet.

Identity unknown.

Are there any other planes in sight?

And get this one at once.

Right.

Edwards, cover that man.

Carter? Inspect the plane. Right.

Have you located the plane yet? Yeah, here's your bearing.

Uh, 19045.

Hello, fellas.

Hi.

Come on, the boss wants to see you.

He's not my assistant.

He's Harrigan.

Yeah. That night in the desert.

I thought he looked familiar.

Make use of Tober's mystery plane?

And what exciting action lies ahead for those seeking Dr. Tober?

See what happens in A Flaming Trap, Chapter 6 of Hop Harrigan at this

theater next week.
