(slow tense music)

- Gosh, Dad, giving Bud three bucks for a weekend.

I never got anything like that.

- You've got a short memory Sandy.

Besides, $1 of that, you know,

is for his fare home from camp.

(water sloshes)

(Flipper squeaking)

- Dad, look.

- Come on.

(Flipper squeaking)

What happened?

- Sharks, a whole school of 'em around the point,

near this old wreck I was exploring.

- Oh boy, that's a bad wound.

- What do we do, Dad?

- We're getting him to a hospital as quick as we can.

All right, let's get this gear off.

As soon as we get him there,

get back, get the shark warning signs posted.

We've gotta get him outta here.

. Okay-

- [Porter] Come on easy now, easy.

(slow gentle music)

(Flipper squeaking)

J1 They call him Flipper, Flipper

J1 Faster than lightning

J1 No one, you see, is smarter than he

J1 And we know Flipper lives in a world full of wonder

J1 Lying there under, under the sea

(Flipper squeaking)

(slow tranquil music)

(slow ominous music)

- Is that diver gonna be all right, Dad?

- He'll be all right Sandy,

thanks to Flipper.

Now we have to find out

how to get these sharks out of the park.

We'll go up ahead and stop,

and see what we can find on the underwater TV.

Well, we got the wreck just about under us.

Let's take a look.

(Flipper squeaking)

- You have a look too, Flipper.

- You got the wreck yet?

- Not yet.

Oh, here it is, to the left.

No sharks around that I can see.

- Oh, Flipper wouldn't be just nosing around

if there were sharks in the water.

I think we'd better widen the circle.

(slow reserved music)

Think I'll go down and take a look at that wreck.

Maybe something down there that attracted the sharks.

(Flipper squeaking)

- Hey, look.

What's Flipper trying to show us?

- Well, let's find out.

He's heading for shore.

See if you can get Flipper on the TV.

(slow uneasy music)

- Dad.

How come they're not attacking him?

- They might any minute,

you can never tell about a shark.

I gotta get him outta there.

- He's gonna fire at him.

- It takes more than a spear

to go through the hide of a mako shark.

(slow uneasy music)

- Look another one.

- I've gotta stop him somehow.

- He's gonna touch him.

- Now I've seen some stupid divers before,

but this guy beats them all.

(Flipper squeaking)

Maybe he'll hear this.

(gun fires)

(bullets whiz)

What about it Sandy,

does it look like they heard it?

- No, look what they're doing now.

(slow menacing music)

- I'll try it again.

(gun fires)

(bullets whiz)

- I think they heard you that time, Dad.

Yeah, here they come.

- All right, come on, get outta there!

Give me that.

- [Diver] Hey, what's the big idea?

- Come on, get outta there!

- They're all over the place.

- What's the matter with you two guys?

You trying to kill yourselves?

- What do you mean?

We're only out here doing a little spear fishing offshore.

- Spear fishing is not allowed in this park.

Besides, those were sharks you were playing with.

- But these sharks won't hurt you.

You saw them yourself.

- Now where did you get that idea?

- From you.

- From me?

- Well, the pamphlet the park puts out,

what do they call these uh,

harmless species, a nurse shark.

- Yeah, it says there's a lot of them out here.

- It does, huh?

- We figured we'd get some pictures

to show it to the guys back home.

- Well, I tell you what you should have done.

You should've taken that pamphlet underwater with you,

and had a good look at that nurse shark.

I think that you would have found out

that it was a mako shark.

Mako, you get it?

One minute they're harmless,

the next minute they'll tear you apart.

- These'll tear you apart?

- You mean these things will attack you?

- Yeah, as a matter of fact,

they hit a man less than two hours ago.

And that gentleman is the reason that the park is closed.

- Dad.

They're gone.

- Oh, that doesn't mean anything, Sandy.

They could be anywhere.

- We've gotta make sure they're out of this park.

- If they're gone, okay if we go back in?

- You'll stay in this boat

until I tell you it's safe to go back in.

Get a radio, Sandy.

WD, nine, five, nine, eight

to WL, six, nine, four, seven, over.

WD, nine, five, nine, eight,

to WL, six, nine, four, seven, over.

- Come in, Porter.

- Skipper is your boat available?

We've got a big shark problem here in the park.

- Yes, matter of fact, we have an order for sharks,

Seaway Research Institute.

- Well, that's good

because you'll find plenty of them over here.

- Good, I'm glad to be of help.

Now, what's your position?

- Uh, right now we're off of Vista Point,

and I'll start the search pattern

originating from here, over.

- Over and out.

Hamill, Charles.

- [Hamill] Yeah.

- Let's get her under way.

We're going out after some sharks.

- Dad, is it okay if I go aboard the Seaquarium boat

with Captain Bender?

- Yeah, that might be a good idea, Sandy.

You can help coordinate the search.

- Thanks, Dad.

- Yeah, we're gonna need their sonar to find those sharks.

- Flipper will find them, he did before.

- I'd like Flipper to stay out of this completely.

He can handle a few of them,

but if they gang up on him, they'll tear him to pieces.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music)

(Flipper and shark thud)

- [Captain] Hiya, Sandy.

- [Porter] I'll search on a parallel course with you.

- So long.

- Sandy.

- Now you watch out on this side,

you watch on the starboard side.

Keep your eyes open.

(slow suspenseful music)

(slow tense music)

- You know, they don't look as friendly as they did before.

- Boy, they sure don't.

- Get up a little closer,

and see if they've hooked anything.

- Hey Dad, got one!

- You got one all right.

(dramatic music)

- Good boy, Sandy.

- Come on, Sandy.

Come on boy, pull him in.

Come on Sandy, get him!

- Pull her in, Sandy.

- Good boy, Sandy.

(dramatic music)

(Flipper and shark thud)

Well, after Captain Bender has all the sharks he wants,

we'll spread out the shark repellent,

and that'll drive the sharks up.

(dolphin whimpers)

- What's the matter?

- That's a dolphin.

That's Flipper!

(Flipper whimpers)

Sandy!

- Hey, Dad.

- Come on, hurry up, Flipper's in trouble.

(slow somber music)

(Flipper whimpers)

- Come on, you're outnumbered, come on boy!

(Flipper whimpers)

Dad, what do we do?

- I don't know Sandy, we've gotta get him out of the water.

- I've got it.

- What?

- The raft.

- [Porter] All right, give him a hand, come on.

Hurry up now!

Come on let's go!

(Flipper whimpers)

- Now if only we can get him on it.

- Well, we need a rope.

- I'll get one.

- [Porter] Wait!

- Sandy, don't thrash.

(slow ominous music)

(Flipper whimpers)

Come on Flipper, here we go.

Start the engine.

(engine rumbles)

(sprayer hisses)

- It really does repel sharks.

- It's a new formula, Sandy.

Sharks will be glad to get out of here

after they get a taste of that.

- Flipper will be glad to stay in it.

(Flipper squeaking)

J1 Ever so kind and gentle is he

J1 Tricks he will do when children are near

J1 And how they laugh when he's near
