- A solid state ultrasonic transducer.

- That's right, Sandy.

- Quite a mouthful, isn't it?

- Sure, but what does it do?

- Well, that may be restricted information, Sandy.

- The information isn't restricted, Mr. Ricks,

only the model itself.

There are many companies like ours

working on developing underwater sonar equipment.

We think ours is the best,

but we'll know more after Miss Norstrand field tests it.

- Is it okay if I go along to watch the test, Dad?

- Well, what do you think about that, Mr. Kendrigan?

- I think it's best not, Mr. Ricks.

In an operation like this, the fewer people

who know the workings of the device, the better.

There are industrial spies who'll go to any lengths

to get information on a competitor's product.

- Do I look like an industrial spy?

- No, of course not.

It's just that I wouldn't want you

to get mixed up with one of them.

Well, if you'll sign for the instrument, Miss Norstrand,

we can be on our way.

- [Miss Norstrand] Of course.

And I'm very grateful to your company for this opportunity.

- It is we who are grateful to you.

It isn't easy to find a qualified

oceanographer with her own submarine.

(Flipper squeaking)

- I'm coming, Flipper.

Hope Dad doesn't murder me for using his old sportscoat.

(Flipper squeaking)

(dramatic music)

' Hey Bud!

- [Bud] Hi, Dad.

- Hi, Bud.

Bud, this is very enterprising.

I'm very proud of you.

- Thanks.

- Your son, the financier, huh, Pop?

- Yeah, you might say something like that.

- Well, I think it's sensational.

- Gee, thanks.

Just for that, you all can have

the first tour in the house.

- You mean on the house, don't ya, Bud?

- In the house.

It's a museum.

Come on, Dad.

- Now, wait a minute, Bud.

We have to take Ulla over to her submarine,

but, as soon as we come back,

I'll go for that dive, okay?

- Sure.

- Yeah, Bud, we'll be back just as soon as we can, huh?

(mysterious music)

(Flipper squeaking)

(dramatic music)

- Go ahead, Ulla, we'll take you on the lines.

- Thank you, Sandy.

(ominous music)

(mellow music)

- Did you tie these knots?

- Yes.

(mysterious music)

- Having trouble, Dad?

- Just a little, Sandy, just a little.

Well, I'll tell ya one thing.

Nobody's gonna steal this sub with these knots like this.

- That's why I tied them that way.

- Oh, I see.

Finally.

Alright, Ulla, in ya go.

- [Kent] You the park ranger?

- Yeah, what's the matter?

- There's been an accident.

A boat ran aground.

- Where?

- Out past the sea wall.

Someone's hurt bad.

- You alright?

- I'm fine.

- Come on, Sandy.

- How 'bout you?

Are you alright?

Can I do anything for you?

- Matter of fact, you can.

You can give me the transducer.

Come on now, Miss Norstrand,

let's not be coy or foolish!

That's better.

- [Ulla] You're not going to tie me up, are you?

- Get into that sub.

Go on.

(tense music)

- Hold it, Sandy, hold it.

- [Sandy] Dad, there's no boat here.

- [Porter] Yeah, I don't think there ever was one, either.

Let's go.

(clicking)

(tense music)

(tires squealing)

- Porter!

Porter, get me out!

Help, Porter!

- [Sandy] Dad, the hatch.

(dramatic music)

- [Porter] You alright?

- Yes, I am but he got the transducer.

- Yeah, Mr. Kendrigan wasn't kidding about those spies.

- I heard him take off in a car.

- Alright, come on, maybe we can catch him.

(dramatic music)

(chattering)

(mellow music)

(tense music)

(screeching)

(tense music)

- [Sandy] Dad, look, tracks!

(splashing)

- Gee, Bud, that was really keen.

- Aw, thanks a lot.

Tell your friends remember.

- Yeah.

(chattering)

- Alright, now, who's next?

(clamoring)

- [Kent] Hey, kid,

- Well, are you sure you're first, sir?

- No, I'm not but, uh,

look, I'm from out of town.

This'll be my last chance.

I don't have the time.

I'll tell you what, kids, I'll...

I'll treat ya'll to the museum if you let me go first.

(cheering)

- Sure.

Well, uh, you're gonna have to use scuba gear.

Sure you wanna get your pants wet?

- Well, they're wet anyway and, come on.

The sooner we go down the sooner

the kids'll have their turn.

- Alright.

- Thad, tell you what.

You wanna feed Pete while I'm gone?

- [All] Yeah.

- Come on, let's go.

(mellow music)

(Flipper squeaking)

- Alright, now, Flipper.

We have a very important customer this time.

(splashing)

(mysterious music)

(tense music)

- He went in there, Dad.

- Yeah, we can't track him in there, either.

- And I thought we had him.

- Sandy, go back and get the car.

We'll notify Kendricks and have

the sheriff set up a road block.

Alright, go.

Come on.

(playful music)

Well, I'm glad to see Bud hasn't

got anything to worry about.

Looks like his business is booming.

Let's go.

(Flipper squeaking)

- [Bud] Gee thanks for all that money, mister.

- [Kent] It was worth it.

Every cent, believe me.

- I'll tell ya what.

The next time you come here, the tour'll be on us, okay?

Right, Flipper?

(Flipper squeaking)

You know, I don't know what's gotten into him.

He's always had a good sense of fairness.

- Well, if it'll ease your conscience any,

I promise I'll be back.

You can bet on that.

(dramatic music)

(Flipper squeaking)

(splashing)

- Flipper, I don't feel like going to the museum now.

Make your imagination work for ya, they tell me.

So I do and look what happens.

My own father isn't speaking to me.

- Now, that isn't quite true, Bud.

- Hi, Ulla.

It is too.

Dad said if I hadn't been so greedy

and taken my customers in turn,

he could have caught that thief.

- Well, that's just his way of saying

that he's angry with himself

for letting the thief get away.

- It's a funny way of saying it.

- Sometimes fathers are funny that way, Bud.

Now, why don't you have some lunch,

and then re-open your museum?

I'll be your first customer.

- Well...

(Flipper squeaking)

Okay.

(playful music)

(Flipper squeaking)

(screeching)

(Flipper squeaking)

(dramatic music)

- Now, that's not polite.

I was invited back, you know that.

(Flipper squeaking)

(playful music)

(tense music)

(screeching)

(Flipper squeaking)

- [Ulla] What is it?

- Something the matter with Flipper.

Coming, Flipper.

(splashing)

(dramatic music)

(Flipper squeaking)

' [Ulla] Any news?

- No, nothing yet.

Police have got an all points bulletin

and the road blocks are out.

They'll catch him, don't worry.

Where's Bud?

- He went off with Flipper.

- Alright.

- [Ulla] Porter?

- Yeah.

- He seemed very upset.

- He did?

Probably thinks I blame him

for letting that guy get away.

And that's not right.

It wasn't his fault.

I'm gonna get this squared away right now.

Coming along?

(tense music)

(dramatic music)

Pete, where's Bud?

(screeching)

It's him!

(dramatic music)

(Flipper squeaking)

- Nine dollars.

Nine dollars and ten cents.

Nine dollars and 20 cents.

Nine dollars and 50 cents.

I've never seen so much money before.

Flipper, we're rich!

(Flipper squeaking)

- Correction, Bud.

You were rich.

This sportcoat, or what's left of it.

You took it without my permission, didn't you?

- How much?

- Well, let's see.

It cost $45 new,

so I think a fair

and equitable arrangement might be about, uh, $9.50.

- Alright.

- Bud, how come you're not screamin'?

- Yes, Bud.

- Well, I guess I'm growin' up

and the way that sportcoat fits Dad,

won't be too long before I can wear it.

Right, Flipper?
