It's a beauty, Joe. That glide was a smasher. How far will it fly?

Oh, it'll go for miles if the wind's right.

Does anyone live in that house?

It's a ruin.

Will it fall down?

No. No, it's been there hundreds of years.

I think there's a man inside.

I say, Joe, will he fly over the tower?

Well, if the wind's right.

It's going right over.

Hey, my aeroplane! Don't worry, Joe, we'll get it back.

It must be a way in. It must be behind the bushes, then.

Out!

What's up?

Look!

There's something moving in the bushes.

Oh.

Isn't he a beauty?

Good old Mokey. I wonder what his name is. What's your name, Mokey?

Hey, what about Joe's plane?

Gosh, yes.

Ouch. Ouch. I can't see any door.

Well, that seems to be that then.

There must be a way in, Bill.

There isn't. What now?

I tell you what, if we could get a rope over, we could lower ourselves inside.

But how are we going to get the rope up there? Tie it to a stone and chuck it.

Could you, Bill?

I'd have a go.

Come on, my dad's got thousands of miles of rope.

Hello, children. Morning, Mr Maggs. Morning, Carol.

Good morning, Mr Maggs.

Dad? Yes?

Can I borrow the rope?

You know, the one with the hook on.

Yes, if you look after it. And the old cart to take it?

I suppose so. Thanks, Dad.

He says it's all right.

Car. Good. Come on.

Chav, you lot.

Oh shit.

What's this?

The Indian rope trick?

Right you lot, stand clear. Make sure it goes in the right direction.

Don't be a chump.

Watch out! The road!

Catch it! Hold it!

It's all gone!

We've lost two things now.

Joe's plane and Tom's dad's rope.

There's a ledge.

Yeah.

Can we get up there?

If we collect enough things, we might. Yes, pile them one on top of the other.

We're more likely to get something through the window.

A kite or a catapult or something.

It's supposed to be here in half an hour and see what we've been able to find.

Come on, Joe.

See you all in half an hour.

Okay.

What on earth are you going to do with that?

Put the bicycle against the wall.

Charlie, I'll get on your shoulders and hook the ledge.

I'll pull myself up and hook on to the next ledge.

On me?

You'll never do it.

Let me have a go first.

All right, Anne. You send your balloons up. Tom, you shoot your bow and arrow

and we'll see who gets there first. Come on, Charlie.

Hold still.

Got it out yet?

Oh, Carol.

I'd have used a ladder.

That's it.

Of course.

Why didn't we think of it sooner?

Who's got a ladder to get up that high?

Tom's dad, of course.

Here, have you seen above to his feet?

Box with feet sergeant. No sergeant. All right then

Sergeant

here

I'm not going to put it to him. Just tell him. It's a bit awkward after

losing his rope.

Shh, there they are.

What shall I tell him?

It's got to be Tom.

Hey, where's Carol off to?

Carol? Looking for Tom?

No, I want a ladder. A ladder? What do you want a ladder for?

To climb.

Can I take that one?

You can take any ladder you can carry away and welcome.

Thank you.

All right, you get along to dinner, Bert. I'll go back to the yard.

You'll find that Carol's walked off with your ladder.

I'll eat my boots if she has. Look there.

Oh, lovely.

Bill, can we have a rest?

Feeling tired?

You're not tired already.

No, but why are we going all over the shop?

We're not. I'm keeping out of the traffic, that's all. Why?

If we don't keep to the side roads, we should get mixed up with people.

Will you?

Hey, stop pushing.

Hello, little girl. Hello.

First it's a rope, now it's a ladder.

You and your friends will have to move on with that ladder.

You'll have to go back.

Come on, I'll give you a hand. Let me help you.

I'll just take a look at what's going on.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Hmm.

Doesn't seem to be stuck.

Come on. All together.

Pull.

I don't get it.

Cora, am I glad to see you here.

See to the traffic, will you?

Now then, let's try again.

One, two, three.

Take it easy.

Swing it round.

Find that car.

This time?

All together.

Which way is it? To the left.

Sure? Sure, I'm sure.

Come on then.

Here, quick.

No, stop.

Don't let go of the ladder.

What happened?

About two miles, I should think, the way you're going.

Our ladder's too long for the shortcuts we know. If my house wasn't there, you

could almost see the tower.

How far, Mr. Mann? Straight over there, about half a mile.

Bring it through, through this way.

That's very kind of you.

No trouble.

Hello, Bill.

Have you seen my little cat? She's disappeared.

No, I'm afraid I haven't, Mrs. Mance.

Anybody seen Mrs. Mance's cat?

No.

It's just straight on. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. Bye.

Bye, Mrs. Mance. Goodbye, Carol.

It's alright.

I can reach the windowsill.

It's too short.

I said it's too short.

Oh, Carol.

She's right, you know.

Oh, shut up.

What are we going to do now?

There's only one thing we can do.

Oh, no.

Not all the way back.

All the way back.

We ought to go and tell that lady we can't find her cat.

Yeah, that's right.

Come on, then.

Well, did you manage to get a good peep inside the tower?

The ladder wasn't long enough. How disappointing.

Never mind. Better luck next time. I'm afraid we didn't see your cat.

No, but it was nice of you to keep a look out. She's sure to turn up, but

we'll keep an eye open just the same.

We've lost a boy, our Joe.

Joe? What does he look like?

He's a little boy with big boots.

You'll be going home now?

No, only taking the lad back.

All right, if I see him, I'll tell him just that.

Thank you. Goodbye, Mrs Mann. Goodbye.

Okay Look out! He's coming this way!

Thank you.

Well that's that.

What are we going to do now?

Fire escape with 80 foot ladder.

Hey, come here.

Look here.

Fire escape with 80 foot ladder.

Where is Dunsmore Manor? It's not far.

Come on, I'll show you.

Well, now, ladies and gentlemen, while they're getting the other rooms ready

inside, we'll deal with these outside effects.

The estate fire appliance we're selling now... Well, now, is there nobody

here from a museum?

Well, surely eight, then. Eight, seven, must be worth more than this for

firewood. Six, five, five, anybody?

Five, five... Five shillings! Shillings! Very well, then, five shillings I bid.

Five shillings. Is there any better bidder for this wonderful piece than...

Five shillings.

Sixpence. Sixpence. Oh, shut up, Carol. All right, then. Five and sixpence I bid

now. I've got to sell these things. For five and sixpence is the best bid.

Selling at five and sixpence. Going, going, gone.

We're going.

Sold to the young ladies and gentlemen.

Don't just stand there.

Do something.

What we want's a rope. Isn't there someone in the cars can help?

Come on then, let's have a look.

Here's a rope.

She's right.

What can we do?

Tom can tie it on, then we pull.

Well, we can't go pinching other people's property.

It ain't pinching. Anyway, what's going to happen to Tom?

Back up!

All right, we're coming.

Here you are, Tom. I'm going to throw you the rope.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three...

Pull! Go on, pull!

What do you think we're doing?

Oh, this is no good.

What can we do?

What we want's a tow.

That's no good. We can't drive.

Well, we'll have to find the driver then.

It's tied on.

It's tied on. But we still can't move the car.

Oh, I never thought of that.

Like I said we'll just have to wait for the driver.

Waste of time.

Right.

Ah,

the old bus isn't as sprightly as she used to be.

This old crate's going to fall to bits in a minute.

Can't we get them to stop?

How about winding out the ladder, Bill? Then Tom can bang on their roof or shout

at them through the windscreen or something.

Good idea.

Lean over the windscreen and tell them. I can't hear you.

Hang over the windscreen and tell them. Tell them what?

Tell them to stop.

Not so far.

Hold it back. I'll stick your feet in.

Hey! My tent!

Leave it to me. I'll get it.

Hold it!

Eve!

Look!

Thank you.

Now you stay there.

And don't you dare move.

Do you think he's going to arrest us? Of course not. He hasn't got a search

warrant.

Bill! Look!

Go on, get on that contraption of yours.

What's happening?

You're going to be escorted to the moor.

You sure this is where you want to be left?

That's right, sir. We'll go over the level crossing and we'll be there. Well,

nearly.

Bye-bye. Bye-bye now. Bye-bye.

What's the matter?

Come on, push it across.

Are you sure there's no train coming?

Course not. Come on, push.

Hadn't we better make sure first?

What do you mean?

You know what happened last time. You can't see far enough from the ground.

What about the ladder? Shall I go up and look?

All right, but get a move on.

up there marvelous you can see for miles never mind about the view can you see a

train coming I don't think so it's all clear right will you start there and

we'll push you across

what's that

oh it's on the main line it won't be coming this way

Good. Now who's going to go up?

I will.

Why don't we toss for it?

What about us?

I want to come too.

Right, well I'll go first, then Anne, then Charlie, then Carol, then Tom.

Isn't it eerie?

We're idiots.

We never bought a torch.

Listen.

I'm sure I heard something.

Where?

Down there.

What are we going to do? What can we do?

There must be some way out. That's likely.

Seeing there wasn't a way in. If only we had the rope.

The rope?

Of course, there's a rope.

Oh, look.

Where? Over there.

It's not damaged a bit.

Watch over you, please.

Bring it over to the light.

It must be the cat from the mouse.

Aren't they tiddlers?

And look what they're lying on.

The rope!

Will it reach?

It ought to. There's all that.

It's there.

Now all we've got to do is find something to tie the other end to.

What's the matter?

Sorry.

That's our last hope gone.

We are a lot of Charlies. I say.

What? I heard something.

Yes, so did I.

You're always hearing things. It was probably Charlie's boots squeaking.

I haven't got food. Keep quiet.

Listen.

Whatever is it?

It's Neddy.

Our nurse?

Neddy, how did you get in?

If he can get in, we can get out.

Show us the way out, Neddy.

Come on!

What on earth's that?

We bought it at an auction.

It got us in the tower.

What are you going to do with it now?

Dunno. It's a bit of a nuisance, really.

Well, suppose I give you 30 bob for it. But it's more than we paid for it at the

auction. Ah, well, I've got an idea for it.

Oh, my little cat.

Oh, beauty.

Oh, dear. Where did you find them? In the tower.

I began to think you were lost, too.

No, only little Joe.

Where have they all gone?

Oh, back to town, eh?

Thanks, Neddy.

Goodbye, Mrs. Mance.

Goodbye. Goodbye, Mrs. Mance. Goodbye.

You wait, not want, not.

Here, wait a minute. What's the matter?

I can't take this kitten home.

Our dog hates cats. Well, give it to someone else, then. Whose dog loves

cats? Here.

I could do with a good mouser. What's he called? Hasn't got a name yet.

Here. Put him in that.

Thank you very much indeed.

Did you ever find that little friend of yours with the big boots?

It's Joe

We've got your aeroplane, Joe.

It didn't hurt a bit. Thank you.

Gotcha.

Where on earth have you been? Get in that box.

I couldn't catch you up.

Oh, dear.
