Attempting to rescue Dr. Tober from Hunter's desert hideout, Hop takes

Retner's place in the mystery plane which is operated by Tober's secret

power. While Tank, Jackie, and Retner keep watch from above in their plane,

Hop daringly lands in the midst of his enemies and...

He's not my assistant.

He's Harrigan.

Yeah. That night in the desert.

I thought he looked familiar.

It takes care of the plane, too.

Keep out of that ray. It'll destroy your ignition.

It's almost gone now.

Hank, turn off your engines. Let's put it out to gut.

Yeah.

That's a good idea.

Why didn't I think of that?

All right, now.

Right out of range. The other side of those models.

Can't keep her up much longer without an engine. All right, higher ignition.

Now, keep flying at a low altitude. We'll keep our eye on the ground.

You know, maybe we'll make those guys think they did get us with that machine.

Peg, I can't see Hop.

I wonder where he is.

Edwards, keep him here.

Well, he won't interfere with us anymore.

This is the craziest plane I ever saw, Hunter. What makes it fly?

That's what we're trying to find out.

I can't figure it out.

You can see.

Edwards, bring Dr. Tober over here.

Get out.

Well, Doctor, we've saved you and your plane from your enemies.

Yes. Yes, you have, Mr. Hunter.

Now you want to know what makes it fly.

Why don't you try it? I'd like to if you'd tell me something about it. Tell

you something about it?

I'll give you a demonstration.

You don't think I'm foolish enough to let you fly it?

Actually, no, Mr. Hunter.

Take him back to the car.

Take the ray truck back to headquarters.

Right. I'll meet you there.

You and Edward stay here and watch that plane.

I'll send a truck to pick it up. Put him in the front seat. Right.

Did you hear a plane?

Thought I did.

I know that signal.

He wants us to land.

Take it easy, Tank.

Lightly.

Feather touch.

All right, how about these ropes? I won't do anything. Take them off.

Give him a hand, Jackie. Take them off.

What's the matter, Retina?

Aren't you glad to see me alive?

Where's Dr. Tobar?

That's what we have to find out.

There's a sedan and a truck over there.

I don't know about the sedan, but the truck contains Dr. Tober's rain machine.

Don't I know it. It almost finished me.

What's the setup?

The plane's still there, but two men are guarding it. Give me the gun you took

from me. I lost it.

Hold on, Rentner.

I had orders to meet Dr. Tober here.

That's the only thing I'm interested in. Don't go off half-cocked. The men

guarding that plane are armed.

We need it as badly as you do, but this requires strategy.

That means we've got to sneak up and surprise them.

Why didn't he say that?

We're going over there. But don't pull any tricks and try to get away with that

plane. Come on.

Strategy. That means you gotta sneak up on someone.

Ready, Jackie?

Yeah.

Go ahead.

All set, Tank?

Strategy.

Hey,

what was that?

A coyote.

Coyote? I didn't think they had them around here.

So you know I'd like to get a shot at one of those things.

That coyote out there at Jackie's wasn't too good.

He might get shot.

I haven't figured on that.

Hey, there's something behind that bush.

Well, Hop. Where is Dr. Toba?

Tell me where have they taken him?

You're wasting your time, Retner.

What do you want to do with these guys, Hop? Hop, let's wait for the others to

get here and then we can grab them all.

That's too dangerous.

We'll turn these over to the sheriff.

Sheriff? You got nothing on us.

We have to get your plane away from here.

Fly it over to my hangar. I can't.

I'm giving the orders here. This is one time your orders can't be carried out.

That plane must go back to Dr. Toba's headquarters.

It cannot go anyplace else. Why not?

Because the power comes from there. It's got to follow that beam.

That don't make sense to me.

Maybe it does.

Okay, have it your way. It's the only way.

If I hear from Dr. Tobor first, I'll communicate with you. Will you do the

same? Yes, sir.

You trust that guy?

We've got to.

That's right, Tank.

Oh, you always say that.

We'll take these two and head home.

All right, you guys.

Now, march!

And when the truck got there, the plane was gone.

Carter and Edwards have also disappeared.

Orders, over.

No orders. Off.

You pulled your last trick, Tobor.

I gave you a chance.

I told you Harrigan was not your friend. Now it has been proven for you. Has it?

From now on, I'm taking off the kid's gloves.

The sooner you talk, the better.

This is one time we'll see that a couple of birds stay in their cage till the

sheriff gets here.

Harrigan, let me remind you of our opinion on this matter.

No matter what effect a police search might have on Dr. Tobor, I'm going to

see this through.

I'll call the sheriff, Hop.

Thanks, Gail.

Say, Jackie, you better go with Gail and keep your ears glued to that radio.

Okay, Hop.

Harrigan.

I can't help feeling we're acting too hastily.

You can trust our sheriff, Mr. Arnold.

So far, we've managed to keep the secret of our invention among a very few.

We're inviting trouble if the whole world finds out about it.

Look, we have enough on those men without mentioning Tobor's invention.

If they stay in jail a while, we might find out who they're working for.

On the contrary, they may be frightened away.

Then we'll be worse off than we are.

Mr. Arnold, we have a director's meeting at 3 o'clock. Oh, that's right. I'd

forgotten about that.

Well, I hope everything works out all right, Hop. Keep in touch with me. I'll

do that, Mr. Arnold.

Just in case.

I better take Key along.

Gentlemen, my report is not a good one.

Dr. Tobor has vanished.

So has his plane.

How Harrigan has captured two men believed to be working for our unknown

opposition.

Perhaps a certain amount of confinement will make them talk.

Well, that's the way it stands.

We won't stay but a moment, Dad. I had to bring Mr. Ballard in to meet you.

Mr. Ballard. Mr. Arnold.

Delighted, Mr. Arnold. Thank you, Mr. Ballard. Very much interested in

aviation. Does quite a bit of flying.

I'm afraid Gwen exaggerates a little.

I only fly a very small plane.

Mr. Arnold.

I've heard of your great financial aid to aviation.

Oh, yes.

Thank you, thank you, Mr. Ballard.

Come along, Alex.

I've kept my promise.

You've been introduced to the great man.

Very glad I met you. Thank you. Same to you, sir.

My plan is working perfectly.

The girl introduced me to Arnold.

He was a bit abrupt, but at least I made the contact.

No, not yet.

No mention was made of his name.

I'll get in touch with you same time tomorrow.

Bye.

Dr. Tobar must be left alone so he can use the radio.

This is our only chance to locate his headquarters.

Over. Order has been received. The two men held prisoner by Hop Harrison should

be free by now. Over.

Excellent. Revise as soon as you hear from them. Off.

This is easy. The key is in it. Good.

always unlocked, Jackie. What are we going to do now, huh? Just what we had

planned to do if they had fallen for it. Well, what are we waiting for?

Come on, Jackie.

The other car's out of sight.

You watch Hop's plane for the signals.

There's a plane up there.

The what?

I think that plane's following us.

What makes you think that?

Turn right when we come to the next crossroads.

He's signaling that they've turned right.

Don't get too close to them.

Okay, you watch Hoff's plane.

Plane is watching us and signaling in the directions we take.

Try the radio. See if you can get Hunter.

C calling Control H. C calling Control H.

Come in. Emergency. Over.

Control H to C.

Go ahead.

We're being followed.

Plane overhead and a car following us. Over.

Where are you? Over.

Highway 12. Over.

Don't come here.

When you get to Highway 61, turn.

I'll send Arlen and Barry to help you. Over.

Right. Oh.

There they are.

There's Carter and Edwards.

Yeah, we'd better get set.

There's another car. Join the first one.

Looks like the same car they used when they nabbed Tobor.

What's cooking, Gail?

I don't think he hasn't signaled since that last turn.

He's dipping both his wings.

I don't know that signal.

I wonder what's happening up there.

Maybe he wants us to stop.

No, if he did, he'd turn back.

I know.

He wants more speed.

Here they come.

Hop and Jackie trail these cars to the desert hideout of the chief pilot's men?

Is Dr.

Tober still the helpless and willing prisoner he pretends?

For the answers, see One Chance for Life, Chapter 7 of Hop Harrigan at this

theater next week.
