All language subtitles for Flying Disc Man From Mars

Dr. Brandt?

You're Kent Fowler.

We've just started the
demonstration, Mr. Fowler.

The remote-controlled target
plane was released two minutes ago.

The image is just coming
in on the radar screen now.

Here, take a look.

That's a new type
of radar, isn't it?

Yes, it's still in the
experimental stages,

but it has some very
interesting features.

You sight it just
as you would a gun.

Watch the plane.

The target is in the
center of the crosshairs.

How in the world
did you do that?

With this attachment
that I built onto the radar.

But how does it work?

I can explain that
better in my lab.

But I wanted you to see the
demonstration first so you'd believe it.

Then some of the other
things I'm going to tell you.

Well, after seeing that
demonstration, I could believe anything.

Bring in the equipment.

I'll ride back with Mr. Fowler.

I won't go into details. This
type of work is highly secret.

But that plane you saw shot down
was hit by an atomic ray,

which works automatically
with the radar set.

I've heard you were
working with atomic power.

Unfortunately, others
have also heard it.

That's why I sent for you.

I understand from one of
your clients, Argosy Metals,

that you have a private
aerial patrol service.

Yes, I bought up some old army planes
after the war, and we're licensed to run

patrols for organizations like Argosy
Metals, public utilities, and others.

Could you give us protection
against aerial spies and saboteurs?

Why, I... I suppose so.

Fine.

I can use your services.

Every night, the radar
picks up an image of some

strange type of aircraft
hovering over this planet.

Well, that's odd.

All of this area around the
experimental plants is restricted.

Exactly.

So any aircraft flying over
this plant must be dangerous.

Do you think it may be a
spy from a foreign country?

Possibly, but...

I know all this talk about flying saucers
and disks sounds like hysterical illusions.

Yet every night, I pick up that image
at from 60,000 to 80,000 feet elevation.

Then it descends
vertically to 30,000 feet,

and stays in the same place
for an hour or more.

Do you know of any
plane that can do that?

Well, no, I don't.

Nor do I.

So I'm convinced that this mysterious
ship is a menace to my plant.

Unfortunately, the range of
my atomic gun is only about

15,000 feet, so I can't reach
the intruder from the ground.

But if you were to install the ray
gun and radar on one of your planes...

Oh, I see.

With my ceiling and the ray gun's range,
we could reach a target at about 30,000.

Good.

It'll be a great weight off my mind
to find out what kind of ship it is.

How long would it take you to install
the radar and atom gun on my plane?

Only a few hours.

We could put the unit
in the fuselage with the

atom gun and capture
screen in the cockpit.

You could go up tonight.

All right, let's try it.

Good.

Keep in touch with me in
my car by radio,

so I'll be the first to reach the
plane if you bring it down.

Right.

Calling Dr. Bryant.
Kent Fowler calling Dr. Bryant.

Hello, Fowler.
This is Bryant.

Have you picked up anything yet?

No, I'm just coming
over the testing field now.

I'll let you know
if I spot anything.

Very well.

Dr. Bryant. Dr. Bryant.

Yes, Fowler.

I have an image directly over
the testing field at about 50,000.

It's coming down fast.

That must be it.

Can you get within range?

I'm gonna try.

I'm closing on it.

Keep on until you
center the target.

Then the ray will
fire automatically.

Right.

I'm almost on it.

I hit something.

I don't know what, but it's
on fire and coming down fast.

It's headed for the hills
north of the testing field.

I'm almost there.
Keep in touch with me.

Right.

Can you still see it?

Yes, it's almost down now.

I can see it myself. It's
gonna crash just ahead of me.

I'll call you later.

Who are you?

I'm a visitor from
another planet, Dr. Bryant.

The one you call Mars.

Mars?

And you know my name?

I've recognized your voice.

We have been listening to you Earth
people ever since you developed radio.

So we have learned your
languages and a great deal about you.

But this is astonishing.

You must tell me all
about... But in a safer place.

And dressed as an Earth man.

If your people found me
here, they might become

unduly excited, even
to the point of violence.

That's right. I'll take you to my
laboratory and get you some other clothes.

Good.

I must report to the
pilot that shot you down.

Without, I hope,
mentioning my presence.

If you wish.

Calling Kent Fowler.

Calling Kent Fowler.

Come in, Dr. Bryant.

I located that plane
you shot down.

Can you identify it?

No, it exploded when it hit, and
there's practically nothing left of it.

But at least it's no longer
a menace to my plant.

I'll call you when I have
another assignment.

Right.

I hope you can forgive me.

But I didn't know.

It has disrupted my plans,
even though I intended to

land here in a few days
anyway, to pay you a visit.

But why?

Ever since you people started
working with atomic power

and explosives, we have
been watching you closely.

We keep large atomic-powered patrol ships
permanently stationed just outside your

field of gravity.

A we'll make our closer
inspection in small flying disks,

such as the one I was flying
when you had me shot down.

This is amazing why you people must be
years ahead of us in scientific development.

Oh, we have had atomic
power for over a century.

And when our radiation instruments showed
that you scientists were making

progress in atomic work,

it was decided to
send here to guide you.

That's certainly
very generous of you.

Not entirely.

With unlimited atomic weapons, your
people might easily end by destroying

this world, which would be fatal to the
whole solar system, including our own planet.

So I am here to see that your
world is put under the control

of a supreme dictator of the universe.

Why are you telling me this?

Because we know even though your government
doesn't, that in the last world war

you were so sympathetic to the
idea of world dictatorship that you did

everything possible to help Hitler
and his plan for world conquest.

You can't prove that!

I can, but I don't think
that will be necessary.

Hitler failed because
he had to depend on

relatively crude equipment
and large armies of men.

The atomic weapons I will show you how
to make are so powerful that we can subdue

the world with a mere
handful of assistants.

How would you like to rule this planet
Earth under our guidance, Dr. Bryant?

How could we get started?

I have this plant, but the critical
materials are under government control.

Sufficient materials can be obtained
by employing a few intelligent criminals.

Do you know any?

Why, no.

Then we'll arrange
to contact some.

Let it be known that you have a large
quantity of some valuable substance,

say, radium stored here.

Then arrange to...

Yes, sir.

Uh-huh.

Certainly, sir.

All right, Dr. Bryant,
I'll be there.

Well, I have an
inside job tonight.

Dr. Bryant wants me to
stand guard in his warehouse.

That's a little out
of your line, isn't it?

Yes, but the papers broke a
story about all the radium Dr.

Bryant has, and he's afraid
somebody might go after it.

So I agreed to help him out until
he can get some more watchmen.

That'll be all right.

We only have the one
night patrol over the

oil refinery, and Bob
and I can handle that.

Good.

Oh, can you find somebody
to stand by the phone tonight Helen?

Oh, sure.

Well, I'd better get going.

I have to report at 8 o'clock.

Well, don't get flat
feet walking your beat.

If I do, you will have
the job tomorrow night.

The radium's in this lead box.

It was too heavy to put in the
laboratory safe, so I had to leave it here.

I'll stay right with it.

Okay.

I'll walk the outside beat.

In case anyone breaks
in, Bryant wants to question

them before we turn
them over to the police.

I'll see you later.

Right.

That does it.

Let's go.

According to the
janitor, the stuff's in here.

Let's try this window.

Hey.

This looks like it.

Yeah.

This is it.

All right. On your feet.

I caught these two
trying to steal your radium.

Splendid. Fine work, Kent.

I'll question them while you
call the police from the gate.

My phone isn't
connected at night.

- Well, don't you think it'd be better...
- It's all right. I can handle them.

You go phone.

Yes, sir.

Sit down.

You men may be
better off than you think.

You couldn't have
stolen any radium.

There wasn't any.

That newspaper
story was just a bait...

to get us in touch with some
men with enough nerve...

to be willing to take
chances for really big money.

What's the pitch?

I'm Dr. Bryant,
owner of this plant.

And this is Professor Mota, a
scientist from a foreign country.

We're about to do some work that
would not be approved by our government.

And we need some
critical materials.

Like what?

First, refined uranium.

I can't obtain any.

But there's a large supply in the warehouse...
of the Argosy Metals Refining Company.

Sounds okay.

Yeah.

Beats going to the pen.

What about the police that
other guy is phoning for?

He'll have escaped
by the time they arrive.

Now, let's get down to details.

So, I catch a couple of crooks
and they escape from Bryant.

A lot of good that did.

Well, indirectly, it
did us a little good.

Argosy Metal was worried enough
about that attempted robbery...

to hire you to run a car patrol... and
also to fly night patrol over the refinery.

Good business, huh?

Well, when do we start?

Tonight, if you can.

Yes, we can make it.

Steve, you fly the first
shift and I'll take the car.

Okay, I'll get the ship ready.

Oh, give me that work
schedule, will you?

Oh, sure.

It's a patrol car.

Give the uranium to Ash and have him get
it out of the plane. We'll hold this guy.

It was refined
uranium they stole...

and they must have planned
to fly it out of the country.

It's only used for atomic projects... and
the government controls all those here.

It's a good thing
you stopped them...

or somebody might have
sent that stuff back to us...

in an atomic bomb.

Yes, but if they want uranium that
badly... they'll try to steal some more.

So you build up your
air patrol service...

guarding every plant
that has uranium.

Oh, that's an idea.

Who else would have
any besides Argosy Metal?

Well, Dr. Bryant is
experimenting with atomic projects.

He must use uranium.

You've done some
work for him already.

Hey, he should be a good
prospect as a steady customer.

He should be.

I'd better go over and
see him right away.

Good luck.

- Good morning, Dr. Bryant.
- Good morning.

Well, it looks like you're
working on a new type of plane.

Well, I'm always experimenting
with different models.

You use uranium here, don't you?

Why do you ask?

Well, I'm just trying to
drum up a little business.

The gang who tried to get away with the
uranium from Argosy Metals last night...

might try you next.

How about letting
me patrol your plant?

Well, I believe my regular
plant guards are adequate...

to protect anything
I have here now.

But if I ever feel I need more
help, I'll certainly call on you.

Well, thanks.

In the meantime, I'll be flying patrols
over the other plants around here.

And if I see any more suspicious-looking
planes, I'll let you know.

I'll appreciate it.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

You heard what he said.

Yes.

He seems unduly
curious about our work.

Everybody else will be, too.
We're on dangerous ground.

Of course we are.

You can't expect to bring
Earth under the control of

our supreme dictator on
Mars without taking risks.

I realize that.

But we'll never succeed unless we
keep our preliminary operations secret.

I agree with you.

We need a safer place to work.

And there is one.

Which our scouts from Mars
once used as an outpost.

And it is already
partially equipped.

It's in the crater of
the Altamount volcano.

But that volcano is
still partially active.

How do we get into the crater?

Not by any earthly device, but this
atomic semi-disc we are building.

Crude as it is by Martian standards,
could easily transport the additional

supplies to set up a
laboratory in the crater cave.

If you could build the
atomic units there, I could

work safely here on
the heavier construction.

Exactly. So let's get this plane
finished and away from here.

Before the inquisitive
Mr. Fowler sees it?

Yes, clean up everything here.

Then take the truck
back and report to Bryant.

Right.

You know, I've never flown
one of these things before.

Sit down.

The controls are similar to
those of conventional planes.

Except that there are
also jets on the underside.

So that the plane
can rise or descend vertically.

The take-off is also similar
to conventional planes.

We'll taxi off for
a while and then...

Calling Fowler Patrol Office.

Come in, Kent.

Is Steve there, Helen?

Yeah.

Now listen carefully, Steve.

I've just spotted an odd-looking semi-disc
-shaped job that climbs straight up.

It took off from the rocky
canyon east of the test field.

Drive out there and
see what you can find.

Right.

Set your course for the volcano.

There is a plane
coming this way.

He's too close to us.

We'd better drive him off.

Let me have it.

Well, that takes care of him.

We'll get back on our course.

Take over.

Start down now.

You're now descending
into an active volcano.

Say, this is some hideout.

Yes, it is perfectly safe.

What kind of a gimmick is this?

This gimmick, as you call it...

was left here by one
of my countrymen.

They are worn by all men.

From Mars.

Mars?

Yes.

Mars.

Now start unloading.

Yes, sir.

Calling Dr. Bryant.

Calling Dr. Bryant.

Come in, Mota.

Did you arrive safely?

Yes.

Has Drake come back?

Yes, he just phoned
me from the garage.

I gave him another assignment.

There's a shipment of uranium
coming in on tonight's Coast Limited.

By blowing up the train at
Bayview Trestle, it should

be easy to recover the
uranium from the wreckage.

Good. Let me know
as soon as you get it.

Yes, sir.

I landed close to the highway
and thumbed a right in.

What did you find out?

Not much.

When I got out to the canyon,
two men in a truck were just leaving.

I trailed them to
a garage in town.

Are they using the
garage for a hideout?

No.

That's just the place
where they rent the truck.

But one of them phoned somebody,
and I heard part of his end of it.

He repeated some order
about the Bayview Bridge tonight.

Said he'd be there
in plenty of time.

Those fellows are connected
with the plane that shot

me down, and I'd sure
like to catch up with them.

So I'm going out to the bridge.

Stand by here.

Right.

I finally got away from him.

By the time I had the detonator connected,
it was too late to blow up the train.

So now that uranium
is in place, it's in a

well-guarded vault
completely out of our reach.

Calling M. Calling M.

Come in, Bryant.

We failed to get that uranium.

Then we will have to
locate another supply.

If we are ever to make
a start in our campaign

of world conquest,
we must have uranium.

I know, but uranium is under government
control and impossible to obtain legally.

I'm giving you the benefit of all the
scientific knowledge we developed on Mars.

And I'll furnish you with planes and bombs
which will make anything you Earth people

have as useless as ox
carts and firecrackers.

But I must depend on you to
get me the materials to work with.

I'll try, but it may take time.

Do it as quickly as possible.

In the meantime, pack
the rest of my laboratory

equipment, and we'll
pick it up in the semi-disc.

Yes, sir.

We need that truck
again this afternoon.

I'll get it.

I've just been talking to Graves,
the man who runs the rental garage.

The two men who brought back that
truck last night are named Drake and Ryan.

Does he know how to find them?

No, but he's going to call me
if they try to run another truck.

From his description of
them, I'm pretty sure that

they're the ones who
tried to steal the uranium.

The men who escaped from Bryant
when I caught them raiding his warehouse.

Then it all ties together.

The same gang must be
stealing atomic materials and

then sending them out of
the country in that bat plane.

Well, that's probably the setup.

Kent Fowler.

Oh, yes, Mr. Graves.

Thanks, I'll be right over.

Graves says Drake just called
and wanted to rent a panel truck.

He's on his way over there now.

Well, now we're
getting somewhere.

Yes, this looks
like a real break.

I'd better get over there.

I'll see you later.

- Hello, Drake.
- Hello.

Everything all set?

Just about.

But I'll have to give the
truck a quick checkup.

Well, let's get going.

We've got a lot of work
to do this afternoon.

Sure.

All right, take it easy.

Throw your gun away.

Now you.

They got away Fowler.

You got a telephone?

Yeah, over there.

Oh, hi.

Did you get Drake?

No, I was outnumbered.
I'll tell you about it later.

However, I was able to give
the police a good description

of them and it'll be posted
in all the rental agencies.

If they try to rent another
truck, they'll be nabbed.

Well, if your guess
about the way they do

business is right, they'll
have to have a truck.

Yes, and I even heard
Drake say that they needed

one this afternoon, so
maybe we'll be lucky.

Calling M, calling M.

Yes, Bryant.

Drake had some trouble getting a
truck, but your equipment is loaded now.

We'll be at the canyon
field by three o'clock.

Very well. We'll
take off at once.

All right, Trent.

Yes, sir.

I see.

Alright, thanks.

The police were too late getting
that notice out on Drake and Ryan.

Two men answering their
descriptions rented a truck

from a downtown agency
and drove it off three hours ago.

The police will surely pick
them up when they bring it back.

Yes, if they ever bring it back.

In the meantime, that semi-dish ship will
probably be loaded with loot & on its way.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to take
a plane on patrol.

There's a chance I
might spot that plane.

Well, if you do, they'll
just shoot you down again.

I'll be more careful this time.

I think I can outmaneuver that
ship and I won't let it get too close.

All I want to do is
see where it goes.

- Kent, do be careful.
- Sure.

Stand by the radio.
I'll keep you posted.

Right.

You have everything here?

Yes.

Calling Fowler patrol.

Calling Fowler patrol.

Come in, Kent.

See anything yet?

Not yet.

There's nothing
around the test field.

I'm going to make a
sweep over the hill.

I'll call you later.

Right.

I spotted it.

You better be careful.
Don't get too close.

I won't, but I'm going to
do my best to follow him.

That looks like one
of Fowler's planes.

It's a patrol plane.

Dive on him.

He's diving on me,
but I can dodge him.

Evasive maneuvers.

We'll go up into the stratosphere.

What's happening, Kent?

We're going straight up,
and I'm staying with him.

What's your altitude?

About 20,000.

You'd better be careful, Kent. You
can't go much further without oxygen.

I know, but I'll
go as far as I can.

He'll black out if
he keeps going.

What's he doing now?

We're still climbing.

You'd better give up, Kent.

My motor's beginning to falter.

Kent.

Kent.

My motor's beginning to falter.

You'd better give up, Kent.

I...

Kent?

Well, he won't bother us again.

Head for the volcano.

Calling Dr. Bryant.

Calling Dr. Bryant.

Come in, Mota.

We have arrived safely
with the laboratory supplies.

In spite of some attempted interference
by another of Kent Fowler's planes.

Good.

Now you have enough equipment to actually
start working on our atomic weapons.

If you expect me to turn out
atomic products comparable to

the ones we have on Mars, I
must have uranium and lots of it.

I believe I've
solved our problem.

A man named Boyd, who used to work
for me, is now in charge of the shipping

department at Argosy Metals.

I've contacted him.

And for a reasonable
consideration, he's

agreed to smuggle out
all the uranium we need.

Fine.

Now, nothing stands in the way of putting
our plan of world conquest into operation.

Let me know as soon as
you secure the uranium.

Yes, sir.

Hello, Helen.

Good morning, Kent.

Hi, Steve.

I've just lined up a job for us.

Good.

Business has been
kind of slow. What is it?

Well, Argosy Metals is short
considerable amounts of refined uranium.

They don't know how it's being
stolen, but it looks like an inside job.

So, in addition to our regular air patrol
over their plant, they want us to get on

our feet again and be
detectives for a change.

Well, a job's a job.

Since we've lost two planes lately,
maybe we've blown on the ground.

Could be you're right.

Now, it's a good bet
that the uranium is being

smuggled out among
shipments of other stuff.

So, I've got a Geiger
counter out in the car,

and we're gonna hang
around their shipping plant.

If any uranium is moved
out, the counter will pick it up.

Sounds easy.

When do we start?

Right now.

We'll keep in touch
with you, Helen.

Right.

See if you can see
what they're loading.

Powdered manganese.

It can't be.

It must be uranium.

Do we grab them now?

No. We'll follow this truck and
see where they deliver this stuff.

Now what?

Let's drive around to the front of
the building and see what this place is.

Must be the place where
the car parked in front of it.

Yes. Let's take a look.

Hey, wait.

That's Drake and Ryan
with those same two boxes.

Well, what are we waiting for?

No.

I want the higher-ups
in this deal, too.

We'll follow and see
where they take this stuff.

Looks like that car
might be trailing us.

Let's find out.

Hey, they act like
they spotted us.

Yeah, I'm afraid so.

But we can stay
with them anyway.

He's after us, all right.

Then stop him.

Fire back?

Fire away.

He's catching us!

Never mind.

I can cut in front of
that train and lose him.

You can't make it.

Well, that's that.
We'll never catch him now.

There's the uranium.

That's fine.

Now that they know how
the stuff's getting out of

the plant, they're sure to
check up and suspect Boyd.

So what?
We've got the uranium.

Suppose they make Boyd talk.

I hadn't thought of that.

Well, we'll just
have to shut him up.

Permanently.

I suppose you're right.

But how do we arrange it?

Phone him.

Tell him to meet me tonight
back at your old mill building.

You mean here
right in my own plant?

Sure.

That big incinerator of yours is
just a place to get rid of the evidence.

Very well.
I'll call him.

Did you find out anything about that store
where Drake and Ryan picked up the uranium?

It was vacant.

They must have just
used it for a transfer point.

Probably.

I've just been talking to
the manager at Argosy, and

the delivery truck driver
seems to be in the clear.

They're pretty sure that the inside
man is their head shipping clerk, Boyd.

But they have no definite
evidence against him.

So what do we do now?

Well, Boyd gets off work at nine
tonight, and we're going to trail him.

I'll take him on tonight, and Steve,
you can have the job tomorrow.

If he's our man, he'll probably be
contacting some of the rest of the gang.

Here comes Boyd now.

Fine.

Drake, I'll get behind that box.

I'll call him over,
then let him have it.

Hey, Boyd!

Over here.

Boyd, about that, uh, thing
in the plant, I want you to...

go ahead and...

take his head.

Hold it!

Set him down.

So Boyd is safely
out of the way.

And I have an adequate
supply of uranium ready for us.

Good.

I'll bring out the semi-disk
plane and pick it up tomorrow.

Kent Fowler's planes are
likely to be watching for you.

You'd better wait until I can
do something about them.

Very well.

We can't risk having our plans
for world dictatorship upset now.

With that uranium, I'll be
able to build atomic weapons...

almost as effective as
the ones we have on Mars.

So you must be
sure I get it safely.

Yes, sir.

- You heard what he said.
- Yeah, shouldn't be so tough.

They don't even have a night
watchman at Fowler's hangar.

Then sabotage
those planes tonight.

Right.

Well, why aren't you on
patrol over the old refinery?

We're not flying any patrol.

Somebody broke into the hangar
last night and took

a sledgehammer
to both our planes.

Did they do much damage?

Plenty.

The head mechanic said it
might take a week to fix them.

Well, why would anybody
want to wreck our planes?

I'll make one guess.

We know that Drake and his gang
have been shipping out stolen goods...

in that disc-like plane.

And we also know that
they've just stolen that uranium.

So they wanted to be sure your
patrol ships wouldn't interfere this time.

Exactly.

Well, what can we do about it?

Well, if we can't patrol from
the air, we'll do it on the ground.

Chances are they'll make contact in
the same general vicinity again.

So Helen can go up to
Eagle Peak and stand lookout.

Steve, you and I will each
take a car and cruise around.

If Helen spots their plane
landing, she can radio us...

and maybe we can
catch them on the ground.

Sounds okay.
Let's go.

Calling Kent Fowler.

Calling Kent Fowler.

Come in, Steve.

I'm up at the end
of the East Road.

- Has Helen checked in yet?
- No, but she's due to any minute.

Yeah, this looks all right.

I'll radio Mota to bring out the disc plane.

Come in Helen.

I'm up on Eagle Peak now.

Steve and I are in position, so speak
up if you see any signs of that plane.

Right.

How'd you pick them up?

They must be using a
wavelength close to ours.

It's a cinch that foreigner
can't land here now.

Unless we get that
girl off Eagle's Peak.

Come on.

Never mind the radio.

Get out.

Put her in the front seat.

Come on.

Maybe you betta tell us where your partners
are in case we run into them accidentally.

I can't!

I don't know!

I can only get in touch with them by radio.

Call them.

Tell them it's 'Sand Canyon'. They'll be out of our way there.

Calling Ken Fowler.

Calling Ken Fowler.

Yes Helen.

There's a ship that looks like the
semi-disc landing at Sand Canyon.

Sand Canyon?

Yes, you know, the place
we used to go on picnics?

I can't hear you.

Hang on a minute while
I check my connection.

Right.

Steve. Steve. Are you tuned in on Helen?

Yeah.

What's this Sand Canyon talk?

We never went on
any picnics there.

Of course not.
Something's wrong.

When Helen comes in again, use your
direction loop and get a bearing on her.

Right.

Try it now, Helen.

I said there's a ship that looks like
the semi-disc landing at Sand Canyon.

Okay.

We're on our way.

Right.

Did you get it, Steve?

Yeah.

The bearing is 136 from here.

Call Mota. Tell him he can start
now. It's okay to land at Oak Flats.

Okay.

This dame got in our way.

Keep her here till I get back.

Okay.

Sit down there.

And don't try any tricks.

Did you get Mota?

Yeah. He's going
to take off right away.

Good.

What gives?

Well, I've checked
it here on the map.

Our bearing lines meet
at this abandoned mine.

Well, let's go.

Hold it.

Kent.

You got here just in time, Kent.

Nice work, Helen.

We've got to hurry. Two of the gang
are meeting the plane at Oak Flats.

Okay. Let's go.

On your feet, Steve.
We've got work to do.

You better stay here, Helen.

There it is, Steve.

Is that all?

Yeah. Bryant says we
got enough...

Look out!

Get behind that car and keep me
covered while I get into the plane.

Take off. Quickly!

We're clear now.

Set your course for the volcano.

Well, I guess we
might as well go back.

Yeah.

Oh, Steve. Here he comes now.

How in the world did
you get back here?

Well, I got dumped out
and landed in a soft spot.

What happened to the others?

Oh, they made it to
the car and got away.

So we draw a blank again.

Yeah, I guess so.

Well, let's go back to that cave
and see what we can find there.

They must have used this place to store
their loot until the plane would pick it up.

Yeah.

Hey, here's one open.

From the looks of this
stuff, they must have been

trying to stock a scientific
laboratory of some kind.

Look at this box. It was shipped
from an eastern supply house

to Bryant's plant and
it's never been opened.

Then they must have
been stealing from him, too.

Did he report anything missing?

Not to me.

Perhaps he doesn't
even know it himself.

Let's see if there's any more of his
stuff here and then I'll tell him about it.

And I found five packages of laboratory
equipment and supplies from your plant.

Can't understand it.

Nothing's been stolen
from here that I know of.

You haven't been selling any
of that kind of stuff, have you?

Course not. I'm not in the
merchandising business.

This is a plant
that's dedicated...

Take it easy. Both of you.

We want some of this laboratory
equipment, and we're going to get it.

Get down!
Pretend your knocked out.

Is he finished?

He's out cold.

What do you mean by
barging in here like that?

You told us to
report to you today.

How did we know he
was going to be here?

I must admit you handled
the situation very well,

but I'm afraid Fowler
may still be suspicious.

I'll fix it so he'll
never come to.

Oh, no. Not here. Not now.

We must arrange a safer place.

All right, but make it soon.

This guy's giving
us too much trouble.

I'll make arrangements as
soon as... he's coming to. Get out.

Well, they've gone.

They didn't stop to take anything this time,
but I'm convinced they've been robbing.

And they're the same
two who stole that uranium.

They must be trying to set up a
chemical laboratory someplace.

Undoubtedly. And I'm really
concerned for the safety of my plant.

Apparently, my watchmen
aren't doing their work properly.

Would you be willing to
help them out for a few days?

I'll do anything to get
another chance at that gang.

Fine.

Then I'll arrange for you to take
over the car patrol at nine tonight.

I'll be here.

I'll feel safer with
you on the job.

Thanks.

Calling M.

Calling M.

Come in, Bryant.

We had some trouble here.

Drake and Ryan walked in
while Fowler was talking to me.

They got away safely.

But I'm afraid Fowler
may be suspicious.

So I'm arranging
to eliminate him.

Good.

I'm glad to see you're
becoming more realistic.

It's the only way if we are to
succeed in our plan to bring

Earth under the control of
our supreme dictator on Mars.

I realize that.

Besides, I cannot risk too close
an investigation of this plant.

Decidedly not.

I can make the atomic products
necessary for our bombs and planes here.

But your plant must
turn out the actual planes.

Which will not be difficult
with Fowler out of the way.

I'll let you know what happens.

Very well.

So I agreed to drive the
plant patrol car starting tonight.

Remember, you won't
be flying around alone.

A cop on a regular beat is a setting
duck for any crook who knows his schedule.

Maybe I won't follow
the regular schedule.

You better not. I don't
trust anybody in that plant.

Not even Dr. Bryant.

I'm not so sure I do either.

So I'm gonna watch my step.

Here's the key to the rear gate.

Fowler will make one round
of the regular watchman.

Then he'll take over
the patrol car himself.

He should be coming past the
mill building about 10:15 tonight.

Okay, we'll get him there.

Are you well armed?

Yeah.

We're not taking any
chances of missing.

We're gonna use a hand grenade.

Well, don't fail this time.

We won't.

Leave the gates open.
We'll be going out in a hurry.

Right.

- You got that grenade?
- Right here.

Over here.

He'll come down this way. He'll
have to slow down to make this corner.

So it should be a cinch to throw
that grenade right into his lap.

He should be here
in about 10 minutes.

Drive about that speed and
you'll make a round each half hour.

Right.

Uh, do you always go
in the same direction?

I do, but it makes
no difference.

And I think I'll
try the other way.

Maybe I'll fool somebody.

Okay.

- You sure he'll come this way?
- Yeah, that's a regular beat.

Hey, something's gone wrong.

He should be here.

I'm going back to
car radio Bryant.

You stay here.

Okay.

Somebody crossed us out.

We got to make it to the car.

This racket will bring
out the whole plant.

He's after us.

He's catching us.

We'll stop him with a
hand grenade at the bridge.

He's catching us.

We'll stop him with a
hand grenade at the bridge.

Hold the wheel.

I thought you'd get in
trouble on that patrol job.

Well you were right.

I'd have gone into an ambush
if I'd followed the regular beat.

Dr. Bryant told you
to follow it, didn't he?

Yes.

And there was something
a little phony about the

way Drake and Ryan walked
into Bryant's laboratory.

I can't believe he's mixed up with
those crooks, but it does look suspicious.

That's true, but you
can't do anything about it.

Maybe not, but I can try.

I've got this broadcasting unit.

It's set for the same
wavelength as our receiver here.

I'm going to plant it
in Bryant's laboratory

and we'll find out if
he's on the level or not.

I'm going to report to him now, and I think
I can arrange for a chance to hide it.

I hope he doesn't
catch you doing it.

So do I.

Stand by the set, and you'll hear the
news, good or bad, as quick as I do.

I'll be seeing you.

Mr. Kent Fowler to
see you, Dr. Bryant.

Oh, uh, tell him
to wait a minute.

Yes, sir.

Come in, Kent.

I read your report on
the trouble last night.

Well, I'm afraid I wasn't much good on the
job, but I'd like to have another chance.

Of course.

I've already arranged to increase
my force of night watchmen,

but I'd like you to fly a
day patrol over the plant.

Well, that's more in my line.

Do you have a map that I could use to
identify the different buildings from the air?

I think so.

This is a large-scale
map of the entire plant.

Good.

When do you want me to start?

I'd like you to start
as soon as possible.

Okay.

I'll take off at nine tomorrow.

Fine.

And good luck.

Thank you.

I had to...

How did you know that was there?

I was watching through
a crack in the door.

I saw him plant it.

Mr. Fowler is suspicious of me.

We don't dare turn off that
radio, he'll know we've found it.

We're gonna have to do
something about that guy.

Can you break into his
hangar again tonight?

Oh, I guess so.

I'll fix up a time bomb
to put in his plane.

Calling Dr. Bryant.

Calling Dr. Bryant.

Come in, Mota.

Have you completed
the aerial torpedo?

Yes, it's knocked
down and crated.

We'll truck it to a safe place in
the hills and assemble it there.

Good.

I'll bring out the
atomic warhead for it.

But don't you think
we ought to have more

equipment before we
actually begin hostilities?

Of course, we'll have much more.

But it will be easier to
obtain after we have given a

demonstration of the
effectiveness of Martian weapons.

I hope you're right.

Good morning, Helen.
Pick up anything yet?

Nothing. I guess there's
something wrong with the transmitter.

It's still turned on.

Maybe there's just nobody there.

What plane are you
using on your patrol?

The little job.

I'll keep in touch with you
on the radio, and if I spot

anything suspicious, you can
phone the planned watchman.

Right.

I wonder where Drake is.

We ought to get
that truck loaded.

The time bomb in Fowler's
plane will go off any minute now.

Maybe he's in the warehouse.

Let's take a look.

Calling Kent Fowler.

Come in Helen.

Kent, there's a time
bomb in your plane.

What?

Well, how do you know?

I heard it on the radio
from Bryant's laboratory.

You heard Bryant say so?

No, it wasn't his voice.

Well, just what was said.

Well, whoever it was said they
had to start loading the truck

because the bomb in your plane
would go off any minute now.

I guess I'd better
land and check it.

No, Kent, you mustn't.
You don't have time.

I hate to lose this ship.

Kent, you mustn't. The bomb
may go off any minute now.

Okay, I'll unload.

But I'm still going to
keep an eye on that plant.

Just what was
said about a truck.

He said they had to find Drake
and start loading the truck.

It sounds like they were
planning to haul something

out of the plant as soon
as they got rid of me.

There still might
be time to stop him.

- But if you tell Dr. Bryant...
- Don't worry, I won't.

Even if he isn't in with
those crooks, I wouldn't

care to admit that I planted
that radio in his office.

I think I can bluff
my way into the plant.

Oh, is Steve there?

Yes, he is.

Tell him to drive out here and pick me up.

Right. Bye.

I thought you
might need this, too.

Thanks, Steve.

Now what?

We'll drive right
up to the main gate.

I'm going to try
some double talk .

Let's get going.

Hello, Mr. Fowler.
Back on the job again?

Looks like it.

That truck come through yet?

What truck?

Well, I heard there was
a valuable shipment going

out today and I wanted
to keep an eye on it.

There's a load of plane
parts to be shipped out.

Could that be it?

Sounds like it.

They're loading at
warehouse number three.

Go ahead, take a look.

Thanks.

Let's get out of here.

Thanks, Steve.

It looks like we lose again.

Yes, but Dr. Bryant's going to have a
tough time explaining things this time.

Wait for me in the car.

We've been trying to
locate you, Mr. Fowler.

Can you explain why you planted
this radio transmitter in my office?

Well, I...

You'd better talk fast.

Radio pickups are just
as illegal as wiretapping.

There's plenty of illegal
business going on around

here and I'm using any
means I can to get evidence.

I realize you may just have
been overly conscientious,

so I won't press the
charge against you.

But I don't approve
of your methods.

And if you ever try to step in this
plant again, I'll have you arrested.

All right, but I'm still going after
that gang and

anybody
connected with it.

Those two crooks go in and out of Bryant's
plant like they were on the payroll.

He must be in with them.

He probably is.

But since we can't get into
the plant anymore, we're

going to have to try to
catch them on the outside.

If they work their usual system,
their semi-disc ship ought to be along

pretty quick to pick up
that truckload of stuff.

And I've still got Bryant's
radar in my plane.

Well, what good is that since
he took back the atomic ray gun?

Well, at least I can spot
that dish ship a long way off.

And I'll keep in touch
with you in a car.

Maybe we can catch that plane on
the ground while they're loading it.

Let's go.

Calling B.

Calling B.

Come in, Drake.

We'll be finished by the
time Mota can get here.

Very well.
I'll tell him to start.

Right.

Calling M.

Calling M.

Aerial torpedo is ready
for the atomic warhead.

Then we'll take off at once.

The remote controls guiding the
torpedo are already installed in my plane.

You may have trouble with Fowler.

He'd sure to be
watching for your plane?

Then I'll stay in the stratosphere and
parachute the warhead down to them.

Do you still plan to blow up
King's Canyon Bridge first?

Yes.

Loss of that bridge will cost the
railroad company hundreds of thousands.

And I'm sure they will listen to our
request for a substantial sum of money

rather than risk further loss.

I hope so.

Calling patrol car. Calling patrol car.

Come in, Kent.

Nothing in sight yet.

Where are you?

Going east on Oak Flats Road.

Okay. I'll keep you posted.

Right.

We Are over our position now.

Drop down to 25,000.

I picked up an image.

It's about 30,000 feet
up, coming down steadily.

Where is it?

Over the north end
of Aliso Canyon.

You'd better go there.

Right.

Here we go.

That's far enough.

Hold your position.

What's happening, Kent?

The image has stopped.

It seems to be hovering
at about 25,000 feet.

I can't go that high
without oxygen.

We're going into
Aliso Canyon now.

Then the ship's
just about over you.

Calling Drake.

Calling Drake.

This is Drake. Come in.

We're ready to make the drop. Stand by.

Right.

Helen! Helen!

I can see a parachute with
something on it coming down.

It should come down near you.

I'll be watching for it.

I'll land as near you as I can.

Wait for me.

Right.

Here it comes.

It'll land right over there.

Hey, that looks like
Drake and Ryan.

And that must be
the gadget, Kent saw.

Yeah.

We'd better wait
here till he lands.

Let's go back to the car.

Looks like one of
Fowler's planes.

Yeah.

Let's get this torpedo
out of here quick.

Get that activator set.

Okay.

Drake and Ryan are over there, but
we can't figure out what they're doing.

Well, if it's Drake and Ryan,
that's all we need to know.

You wait in the car, Helen.

Let's go, Steve.

She's all set.

I'll radio Mota she's
ready to take off.

Keep 'em busy.

Calling Mota. Calling Mota.

Yes Drake?

Fowler jumped us, but the
torpedo's ready to take off.

All right.

Hey. What's goin' on.

It looks like a guided missile.

If it doesn't go any faster than
that, I can catch it in my plane.

Try to hold these fellows here.

Right.

Remote controls are working perfectly.

Catching up with it.

Can you tell what it is?

It looks like an aerial torpedo.

I'm going to try
to shoot it down.

Ken's catching that torpedo.

Let's try to trail him.

I can't stop it. It must be armor plated.

What are you going to do?

Follow it and see what happens.

It's almost over the bridge now.

It's headed for the King's Canyon Bridge.

I've got to crash that torpedo or
we'll blow up the bridge.

Kent?

Kent?

It's headed for the
King's Canyon Bridge.

I've got to crash that torpedo
or it'll blow up the bridge.

Kent?

Kent?

Fowler crashed a torpedo plane just in
time to prevent destruction of the bridge.

Well...

at least we have demonstrated
the power of our atomic explosives...

and the efficiency of
our guided missiles.

It will be easier now to frighten some
industry into paying us protection money.

I hope so.

We need plenty of money to build
enough equipment to bring Earth...

under the control of Mars.

Do we have any project in mind?

I was considering the
Argosy Metals Corporation.

They're wealthy and the plant is
highly vulnerable to aerial attack.

Very well.

But you must be careful
how you arrange the payoff.

This small remote controlled
rocket might be useful.

An excellent idea.

I'll arrange to use it.

Here's the latest.

Argosy Metals just got
this demand for $250,000...

or have their plant bombed by
another one of those aerial torpedoes.

How'd you find out about it?

The blackmailers warned
them about telling the police...

so they turned it over to me.

They want us to make the payoff...
and then try to catch whoever picks it up.

How's the payoff to be made?

That's another funny one. Listen.

The money must be placed in a
rocket at the forks in the road...

at Glen Canyon between
10.45 and 11 a.m. Wednesday.

The rocket will be taken
off by remote control...

and no attempt must
be made to follow it.

How would we follow
a rocket anyway?

Well, I...

I think I'll put a
direction sender in it...

and we can follow it in the car.

Boy, that's big enough
to carry a small bomb.

That's probably what
it was designed for.

It should work
for this job, too.

I better put the
direction sender in first.

Give me the money Helen.

Now let's see if the
indicator's working.

It looks okay.

Now all we have to do...
is get out of sight and wait.

It's 11 o'clock.

Kent, the needle's moving.

Yes, the rocket's taken off.

Let's go.

Here it comes.

Kent, the needle stopped moving.

Yes, the rocket
must have landed.

Well, let's hope they took
it to their headquarters.

Looks like the right amount.

Dismantle the rocket.

Okay.

Hey, what's this?

It's a direction sender.

They're trying to locate us.

Very well.

We'll prepare a warm
reception for them.

There's some explosives in the
cave... with the rest of our supplies.

Plant the sender in there...
and attach a booby trap to it.

I'm leaving now. As soon as you set
the mine... get the truck out of sight.

Then watch to see
who comes here.

Right.

Turn left the next
chance you get.

Okay.

Must be in that cave.

Better be ready
for trouble, Steve.

You stay behind us, Helen.

Say, that's a good deal.

We'll get all three
of them at once.

It must be over there.

There it is.

But where's the rocket?

We must have found the sender... and then
left it here... so we couldn't follow it.

Maybe. But it looks funny to
leave it lying there in full sight.

Take a good look at it
before you pick it up, Steve.

Hey hold it. There's a wire attached to it.

Wait a minute.

Let's see what the other
end... of that wire is tied to.

A homemade land mine.

What a beautiful booby trap.

Yeah, and I was the boot
who almost tripped it.

We'd better tie a long wire
into this stuff and set it off.

It's too dangerous to handle.

You get a piece of wire and
I'll unhook the direction sender.

They should have
found it by now.

Get back against the wall.

Okay, Steve.

That was it.

Let's make sure
they're finished.

Let's get back to the car.

They must have plugged the radiator.

The motor's heating up.

We can't keep
going much longer.

Make one last spurt
and get alongside.

Give me that
direction sender.

Well, that's that.

We have plenty of
time to get it fixed.

This direction indicator... will check
us right when they park that truck.

Careful of that switch.

The rocket's still alive.

Get the gun, Steve.

Uh.

Do you suppose that
aerial torpedo and the atomic

bomb could have been
built in Bryant's plant?

Possibly, but we have no
shred of evidence to prove it.

Why on earth would a man like
Dr. Bryant be working with crooks?

Well, I can't answer that, but the first
time I ran into Drake and Ryan was the

night they tried to
steal the radium from

Bryant's warehouse,
and I was on guard there.

Hey.

Looks like it.

Yeah.

This is it.

All right, on your feet.

I caught these two
trying to steal your radium.

Splendid. Fine work, Kent.

I'll question them while you
call the police and the gate.

My phone isn't
connected at night.

- Don't you think it'd be better...
- It's all right. I can handle them.

You go phone.

Yes, sir.

I wondered why he insisted on
me leaving those two alone with him.

Now it's beginning
to make sense.

He let them escape.

Sure.

He just wanted you to bring him a couple
of crooks so he could put them to work.

Well, that might be true, but the next
time you caught up with Drake and Ryan,

they were stealing uranium
from the Argosy plant.

That's right.

Steve spotted them from his plane, and I
got there just as they were getting away.

Give the uranium to Ashe,
and have him get off in the plane.

We'll hold this guy.

Take off in a hurry.

How can you tie in Dr. Bryant
with him on that deal.

Well, he admitted he was working
with atomic power, so he needs uranium.

He isn't qualified to get
it from the government,

so he had to have
somebody steal it for him.

Drake and Ryan went
right on trying to steal

some uranium until
they finally succeeded.

That's Drake and Ryan
with those same two boxes.

Well, what are we waiting for?

He's after us all right.

Then stop 'em.

He's catching us!

Never mind.

I can cut in front of
that train and lose him.

We can't make it.

Well that's that.

We'll never catch him now.

If that's true. He should have
some stolen uranium in his plant now.

No, the semi-dish
ship took off with it.

But there's probably
plenty of other incriminating

evidence around his
laboratory if we could only find it.

A fat chance.

He won't even let
us near the place.

Well, he'll have to if I
can get a search warrant.

Can you get a search warrant?

I'm going to try.

I'll see the district
attorney tomorrow.

Well, I sure hope
you have some luck.

I've got some patrolling to do.

You might as well go too, Helen.

I'll stand by the phone tonight.

Right.

We got the money in spite
of Fowler's interference.

Yes, but Fowler is
getting too close to us.

I was sent here from
Mars to bring this planet

Earth under control of
our supreme dictator.

I don't propose to let one
man's activities endanger my life.

We tried to eliminate
him several times, but...

But you failed.

So do not fail again.

Make a direct attack
on him at once.

Tonight.

Yes, sir.

Fowler sometimes stands
watch in his office at night.

You know what to do.

Yeah.

He's there.

Give me the grenade.

He's out of shells.
Come on.

He's out of shells.
Come on!

Hey, the cops.

Let's get out of here.

Did you have any luck
with the district attorney?

No, he practically threw me out when I asked
for a warrant to search Bryant's plant.

Well, after all, you don't have
any real evidence against him.

Well, how are we going to get
him if we can't get near the place?

Well, all we can do is wait for
them to make the next move.

Fowler escaped again.

He'll be doubly
suspicious of me now.

If he persuades the
authorities to search my plant...

We have delayed our
campaign long enough.

It's time to bring this
planet Earth under

the control of our
supreme dictator on Mars.

You can't start a
war with one plane.

I don't think war
will be necessary.

Small as my plane is, it has a much
higher ceiling... than any Earth ship.

And my bombs, while
powerful, are small enough...

so that I can carry
several at a time.

I know, but I don't understand how... I
merely wish to prove to the government...

how helpless it is against
the scientific weapons of Mars.

Then we can demand the surrender of
whatever planes and equipment we need...

under the threat of destroying
the whole national economy.

The American people
don't scare easily.

I hope it works.

It will.

I suggest that you prepare to
abandon your plant as soon as possible.

When will you start operations?

I'll leave on my
first mission at once.

The bombs are
already in the plane.

Then I'll make arrangements
to move out of here.

Good.

Here's your course.

Stay at 60,000.

I'll release the bombs as
soon as we're in position.

Yes, sir.

Stay on your course now.

Imagine that.

All of those atomic explosions
within such a short period of time.

Boy, that's really
pouring it on.

Is it certain there
were atomic bombs?

No question about it.

They were a lot smaller than the ones
we make but still plenty strong enough.

Gee, all this talk about
flying discs from Mars...

nobody actually
saw any, did they?

Some people claim they did...

but the authorities say the
ship that laid those eggs...

was so high nobody could see it.

Apparently it operated just like
that semi-disc job Kent's been after.

Sure.

And the same gang that used
that ship was stealing uranium...

which could have been used
to make those atomic bombs.

- It all adds up, and if I can...
- I got it.

I told the district
attorney the whole story...

and he gave me a warrant and
deputized me to search Bryant's plant.

Good going.

What made him change his mind?

Well, this bombing's
driving them all crazy...

and they'll take any chance
to find out who's doing it.

So when I showed them how
Bryant might be mixed up in it...

they came through right now.

Then what are we waiting for?

Nothing. I just came by
to pick you up. Let's go.

Good luck.

Well, this ought to make a load.

This is all except for the
papers in my laboratory.

Come and help me carry them
out when you finish loading.

Okay.

But Dr. Bryant
can't see you now.

Oh, yes, he can.

What's the meaning of this?

I warned you if you ever came
here again, I'd have you arrested.

We have the law on our
side this time, Dr. Bryant.

Here's a warrant from the
district attorney to search this plant.

All right.

Maybe I can't stop you
from searching my property.

But don't expect me to help you.

I'm leaving now.

Oh, no, you're not.

You got here just in time.

Well, well.

Just the chance
I've been waiting for.

No.

No shooting here.

Disarm them and
take them with us.

Okay.

He's catching us.

There's some hand grenades
in the glove compartment.

You better use them.

So you made it okay.

Where did you get the car?

Just borrowed it.

Thought we might need it.

Probably will.

I'll see what Mota's plans are.

Calling Mota.

Calling Mota.

We had to fight our way out of the plant.

We got away safely with everything
except the files from my lab.

Were the plans for the radar-controlled
atomic gun in those files?

Yes.

It's a serious loss.

Too serious.

That's the one weapon which would be
effective against my stratosphere ship.

Do you know where the plans are?

The Fowler probably
has them in his office.

Then recover them at once.

We'll do our best.
We may need help.

Can you bring the semi-disc
here to pick us up later?

Certainly. I'll meet
you in the canyon field.

You heard Mota's plans.
We'll start at once.

Right.

Where are the plans of my
radar-controlled atomic gun?

They're in the safe.

Open it.

I can't open it.

No one knows the
combination but Kent Fowler.

Where is he?

He's over in the hangar.

Phone him.

No tricks.

That alarm.

Let's get going. It will
bring all the cops in town.

All right, we'll go. But
you're going with us.

Come on.

No, no, the guys are coming.

But we gotta do something.

Yes, we'll trail 'em.
We gotta take it easy.

Well, at least you will make
a valuable hostage.

Get in.

Look out!

Stall them 'till we enter the ship.

Take off!

What about Drake and Ryan?

Never mind them.

Take off at once.

It looks like your pals walked out on ya.

Maybe you should change sides.

Oh?

What's the deal?

Where are they taking her?

I don't know.

Somewhere only the
atomic job can get to.

Can you contact them by radio?

Yeah.

Maybe we can work something out.

Calling Mota.

Calling Mota.

Come in, Drake.

Fowler's got me, but
he's willing to make a deal.

What sort of a deal?

If you'll bring back the girl, he'll give
me the atomic gun plans and set me loose.

That's a reasonable trade.

But it must be
handled on my terms.

Fowler must give you
the plans and let you go.

Then you radio us where
we are to pick you up.

We'll leave the girl there.

Fowler says okay.

Very well.

Call me as soon
as we get the plans.

Let's go.

Calling Mota. Calling Mota.

Yes, Drake?

I've got the plans.
I'm waiting at Alder Flat.

Are you sure no
one's followed you?

Positive.

All right.

You'll be picked up in one hour.

Right.

You did all right.

Now you'll have to
shoot square with me.

You get exactly what I promised.

A fair trial with credit for helping
to catch the rest of your gang.

Take him in, Steve.

OK.

- Is Miss Hall with you?
- No.

Then you're taking me to her.

Or else.

Okay.

Take it off.

Did you get the plans?

Yes.

All right.
Hold it.

Get in the plane, Helen.

Turn it around, Trent.

What happened?

The volcano's erupted.

Were on fire! Grab a parachute! No wait!

Well, the Bryant case is closed.

I've turned over all his papers
to the District Attorney and

they'll pass on the technical
stuff to the War Department.

Was there any dope on the
semi-disc job or the atomic bomb?

No. If there were any plans on those,
they must have been in the volcano.

Well, it's just as well.

Those weapons were
too dangerous anyway.

Maybe, but I'd sure
like to try them out.

You mean that?

Why, sure. Why?

Well, I just wanted to know so I
could line you up with a new job.

Hey, what do you mean?

Well, as a reward for our
help in running down Bryant,

the Air
Force is taking us back.

I'll go in as a colonel.

Good.

Will I get my wings this time?

You sure will, as long as
you don't mind dangerous jobs.

They'll use you to test out the new
ejector seat for pilots and jet planes.

You'll get your commission
and wings, if the gadget works.

Swell.

What if it don't work?

Oh, you'll still get your wings.

If you've been a good boy.
