Thank you.

I get it.

Thank you.

Frankly, Jack, this isn't the first time this has happened.

Our planes have got to reach their destination.

The very life of our country depends upon it.

I wish you'd stay for dinner, Jack, and we could talk the whole thing over.

Well, thank you, Admiral Corley, but I think I... Of course you'll stay for

dinner, and we'll have no excuses. We don't see enough of you these days.

Thank you, Eve. Why don't you finish reading the paper while Dad and I dress

for dinner?

Come on, Dad.

This is Jack.

Another flight of bombers cracked up in the White Mountains today.

No, no, not one clue.

Every plane was completely demolished.

The mystery has Admiral Corby frantic.

It's become so serious, he's determined to cancel the flight schedule for 10 in

the morning. You've got to persuade him not to cancel it. Something is happening

to those planes in the air, and it's up to us to find out what it is.

Ask him to instruct the flight command to trail us.

We'll start ahead on your plane, and if anything happens...

Those are the mountains just ahead.

Check on the bombers.

There's still quite a ways behind us.

What is it, Excellency?

Spice Messer took off shortly before 10 o'clock.

I am certain he intends to scout the mountains ahead of the Marked Bomber.

Order you are meant to be on the lookout for a cabin.

At once, Excellency.

Oh, yes, Lola.

I've got it.

Sure, right away.

Get that power turned on.

There's a cabin job. Get ready.

Water's been hit.

When the bombers turn back, hurry.

Holly, bomber, flight three.

Bomber, flight three.

Squadron leader, flight three.

Come in, please.

You're running into trouble over White Mountains.

Turn back.

Thanks.

Flight three.

Flight three, all ships return to airport at once.

That plane must have warned the bombers. They've turned back.

We'd better start moving this equipment out of here. I'll contact the mast for

further instructions.

The distributor.

That wasn't a bullet.

It smelted as though by an electric torch.

Electric ray would be a better guess.

I've heard rumors about a new ray gun.

Powerful enough to knock out plane motors in short ranges.

Such a machine would have to be another source of strong electric power.

There's a new power station at Bentonville.

Perhaps we can check there for new installations.

I'll take care of that. You get to Corby.

Advise him to send all future flights over a different route.

All right.

The Atlas Lumber Company is the only one of our customers to order extra power

lately. Where are they located?

Our main office is just south of town.

They'll be able to tell you there where the mills and pumping plants are

located.

Thanks. I'll try it.

Contact Lawler at the Atlas Lumber Company. Yes, Excellency.

When the bombers turned back, they decided to move the equipment.

As my operatives report that the bombers are to be routed through the upper path,

I order the machinery move to our water tower on Highway 54.

The flight should reach the upper path at 4 o'clock. Get up there.

and see that they go no further.

Yes, Excellency.

I'll take care of it.

We'll have to warn Jerry and Sloan by radio. It's our last chance.

L2 calling J5.

L2 calling J5. Come in, J5.

L2 calling J5.

L2 calling J5.

Come in, J5.

This is J5. Come in, L2. This is J5.

Spice Masher is heading for the tower.

He may get there before the bomber flight goes through.

Take care of him.

Those planes must be destroyed.

Don't worry, Lola. We'll be ready.

Take that rifle and keep your eyes open.

I'll put the ray gun together.

Flight four.

Flight four.

Entering upper pass.

Close formation.

Flight four, flight four, mountains ahead.

Close in.
