- Easy Gray Boy, easy boy, easy.

(ominous music)

. Okay-

Okay, let's follow him down the beach,

but keep out of sight.

(Flipper theme song)

(splashing)

J1 They call him Flipper, Flipper,

J1 Faster than lightning,

J1 No one you see,

J1 ls smarter than he,

J1 And we know Flipper,

J1 Lives in a world full of wonder,

J1 Lying there under,

I! Under the sea!

(Flipper squeaking)

- Flipper!

Flipper!

(splashing)

Flipper, we're all ready to start

my new scientific experiment.

Now listen, this is what I want you to do.

I'm going to prove that you're

just about the fastest thing on Earth.

(Flipper squeaking)

No, no, no the very fastest.

(Flipper squeaking)

Now listen, swim over to there and then

I want you to swim just as fast as you can to there.

Understand?

(Flipper squeaking)

And then I'll time it and then we can see

how fast you've gone by strangulation,

I mean, uh, uh, triangulation, yeah.

(Flipper squeaking)

Gee, I bet you Dad will be so proud of me

when he learns I'm going to be a scientist.

(Flipper squeaking)

Alright, alright now get over there on your mark.

(Flipper squeaking)

(splashing)

Will you stop clowning around?

(horse neighing)

Will you look at that!

(Flipper squeaking)

What do you suppose a horse is doing here?

(Flipper squeaking)

Let's go over and see, maybe I can even get a ride!

(Flipper squeaking)

Hey, wait a minute, wait!

(dramatic music)

Hi.

- Hi.

- What are you doing with this horse?

- I'm training him.

- Training him for what?

- He hurt his leg in a show.

I read in a book that it might help

if he's worked out in salt water.

- Ohh.

Hey, he's a real show horse, eh?

- Sure is, he's Thorn Boy out of Wind Flight.

- What do you mean?

- Gee, you don't know much about horse genealogy do you?

That means Thorn Boy's the father

and Wind Flight's the mother.

- Ohh.

Well, what's your horse's name?

. G ray Boy.

- [Bud] What's your name?

- Stevie Reynolds.

- My name's Bud Ricks, my father's the park ranger here.

Do you live around here?

- No, I'm visiting Mr. and Mrs. Dunstock, they own Gray Boy.

(Flipper squeaking)

What's that?

- Flipper.

- A fish?

- A dolphin.

He's our pet, my brother Sandy's and mine.

Sandy's away on a camping trip this weekend.

(Flipper squeaking)

- What can you do with a fish?

- A dolphin.

- I mean a dolphin, for a pet?

- Well a lot more things than you can do with an old horse.

And right now I'm going to prove

that Flipper's the fastest thing on Earth.

- Bet he's not faster than Gray Boy.

- Bet he is, bet he's faster.

- There's no way to prove it.

- Sure there is, we could have a race.

- You mean a race between Flipper and Gray Boy?

- Sure, why not?

Gray Boy could run along the beach

while Flipper swims out there.

- You'd be handicapping my horse

if you made him run in the sand.

Anyway, Gray Boy can do more tricks.

You can't even ride Flipper.

- Sure I can, I do it all the time.

- I don't believe you.

- Well come out in my boat and I'll show you.

- Gee, I'd love to, but I can't leave Gray Boy.

He's too valuable to leave alone.

He's worth thousands and thousands of dollars.

- Can't you tie him up or something?

We could keep an eye on him.

- Well, okay.

(Flipper squeaking)

(light music)

(Flipper squeaking)

- Flipper!

Flipper!

(Flipper squeaking)

Now watch me and Flipper.

(splashing)

Flipper!

(Flipper squeaking)

- Gee, that's swell.

(Flipper squeaking)

(splashing)

(splashing)

(ominous music)

(horse neighing)

Hey, look, they're stealing Gray Boy!

(horse neighing)

- Hey, you!

Go get my dad, that way, I'll follow them!

(dramatic music)

(horse neighing)

(engine chugging)

- Now listen, sonny, I'd throw you overboard except

you're less trouble here where I can keep an eye on you.

Now you better keep quiet if you don't want to get hurt.

(boat sputtering)

- Stevie turn that last dial on the left on.

WD9598 calling Coast Guard.

WD9598 calling Coast Guard, come in please.

- [Jackson] This is Coast Guard, Jackson speaking, over.

- Jackson we've got some trouble here.

A couple of men stole a valuable show horse

from the park and took off by boat.

And my son Bud tried to stop them

and I understand he's on board with them, over.

- [Jackson] Got it.

Do you know in which direction they're headed?

- I think they're headed north.

I'm underway now and I'll try to intercept them.

Jackson we could use all the help we can get, over.

- [Jackson] Okay, we'll send out

the search copter right away, keep in touch.

- Roger and out.

(helicopter whirring)

- Hey, what are you going to do with him?

- None of your business.

- Well, what are you going to do with me?

- As soon as we make Center Port and get

the horse stowed away we'll let you go.

- But how am I going to get home from there?

- You're a big boy, you figure it out.

(splashing)

Hey, what are you doing?

Why, you little!

- Flipper help!

(splashing)

- What's that?

(Flipper squeaking)

(horse neighing and splashing)

Hey!

(dramatic music)

Turn the boat, quick!

- Why?

- The horse and kid jumped overboard.

- Hey, Joe, look!

(helicopter whirring)

- Keep heading for Center Port, maybe they'll pass over.

(horse neighing)

- [Thief] Well what about the horse?

- Which would you rather have,

the horse or two years in jail?

- Oh, how are they gonna know we're stealing him?

- I got a healthy respect for them Coast Guard boys,

and I ain't taking any chances.

Keep her going.

(horse neighing)

- Flipper!

(Flipper squeaking)

Flipper!

Flipper come here!

(splashing)

(Flipper squeaking)

Go Qet Gray Boy, Flipper!

He's headed out into the ocean, he'll drown.

Bring him back, go get him!

(frantic music)

(horse neighing)

(Flipper squeaking)

That a boy, Flipper!

Turn him around.

(Flipper squeaking)

(horse neighing)

Good one, Flipper!

Now bring him back here.

(Flipper squeaking)

This way Gray Boy, come on!

Here boy!

(Flipper squeaking)

Flipper, go get help, Flipper!

Go on Flipper.

(splashing)

- [Jackson] WD9598, WD9598, come in please.

- This is WD9598, Porter Ricks, go ahead.

- [Jackson] Porter, this is Jackson, Coast Guard.

The copter's spotted what they think

are your horse thieves near Center Port.

The boat matches the description you gave us,

but there's no horse and no boy aboard.

Are they back with you?

- No, they're not on board with us, over.

- [Jackson] Okay, we'll start looking for them,

I'll keep in touch.

- Roger, out.

Stevie, are you alright?

- Sure Mr. Ricks, I always close my eyes when I pray.

It helps me to concentrate.

- Oh, I see.

Well don't worry, Stevie, we'll get Gray Boy back.

- It's not Gray Boy I'm praying for, it's Bud.

- Stevie, look, look, there's Flipper!

(Flipper squeaking)

(dramatic music)

Flipper, where's Bud?

Show us where Bud is!

(Flipper squeaking)

(horse neighing)

(ominous music)

(horse neighing)

(Flipper squeaking)

- Flipper, Flipper hurry!

(frantic music)

Dad, Dad over here!

Dad,Dad!

(horse neighing)

- Here, Bud!

[Bud] Throw it!

- Catch that!

- Stevie, Gray Boy's alright.

But Dad, did you catch those horse thieves?

- Not yet, Bud.

They will and they'll need you to identify them.

Now come on, let's get you aboard and Gray Boy on shore.

(boat chugging)

(Flipper squeaking)

(Flipper squeaking)

(bright music)

(splashing)

(Flipper squeaking)

- Now, your turn, Gray Boy.

(Flipper squeaking)

Would you help me, Mr. Ricks?

- Sure, Stevie.

What can I do for you?

- Would you just put this in his mouth

and snap it onto the bridle?

- Put this in his mouth and put it on, alright.

Like that?

- Yes.

- And then put it in his mouth.

(Flipper squeaking)

Put it in like this?

- Yeah.

- And then snap it on here, huh?

- Yeah.

- Alright.

Now what?

- Do you have a match, Mr. Ricks?

- Yeah, I think so.

- Would you just light both ends?

- Alright.

- Wow, will you look at that.

- Have you ever seen a horse hold fire in his mouth before?

- Well, no I haven't.

- Mr. Ricks, would you please blow it out?

- Yes, sir.

(blowing)

- Would you please take it off now, Mr. Ricks?

(Flipper squeaking)

(lighthearted music)

(Flipper squeaking)

You did all right, too, boy.

- Yeah, he's okay.

- He's a fine horse, Stevie, and he'll win many more prizes.

- I guess winning's not the most important,

as long as you know you've got friends like Flipper.

- Flipper will always be his friend, Stevie,

and we'll always be yours.

- We sure will.
