00:00♪♪
00:16Junior G-Men of the Air demonstrates what a great civilian defense army fully cooperating
00:21means to our country in the present emergency.
00:24State police and junior G-Men, aided by a group of wide-awake energetic young civilians
00:29expose the treacherous efforts of the Black Dragon Society, a dangerous alien organization
00:35working right here in our very midst to pave the way for the conquest of the United States
00:40by the armed forces of their own country.
00:43♪♪
01:14♪♪
01:39Boy, is that baby got the hiccups, but good, but good.
01:41That don't mean he's going to crash, so quit steaming.
01:44Who's steaming? Who's steaming? I'm just getting myself resigned to his fate.
01:48Hey, look!
01:49♪♪
01:54Boy, that was close.
01:55He ain't out of it yet.
01:56That's a nice job, make a 1,200 jump.
01:58A nice ball of fire if he crashes too hard.
02:01Why don't you put yourself on ice, solid puss?
02:03♪♪
02:19See, I told you he ain't going to crash.
02:21Oh, that sabotage, changing his mind on us like that.
02:24Maybe it's a woman driver.
02:26♪♪
02:48Come on, then. Come on, then.

03:11Come on, then. Come on, then.
03:1519, 20, 40, 42, 44, 6, 8, 10.
03:18Were you in that brawl?
03:19Oh, me? No. 92, 98, 100.
03:21See, honey, just like you tell me.
03:23I count to 100 and I go just like a little dove.
03:25Come on, then. Come on, then.
03:27Come on, then. Come on, then.
03:29Disgusting, ain't it?
03:31Well, maybe someday you'll get to be an example
03:34to your roughneck friends.
03:36Sure, the only reason I hang out with them roughies
03:38is I'm teaching them to count.
03:40You know something I want to start a fight,
03:42not even if some guy...
03:44I'll fight her off!
03:46Come on, then. Come on, then.
03:48Come on, then. Come on, then.
03:50Come on, then. Come on, then.
03:52Come on, then. Come on, then.
03:54Come on, then.
03:56Look out for that truck!
04:27Let's grab that truck!
04:30All right, everybody, stay where you are!
04:35Hey, get away from that truck!
04:42What do you think you're doing?
04:44Give me this truck! You can't get away with this!
04:56You're not gonna get away with this!
04:58Hey, to get away with your truck!
05:00You catch on quick, don't you?
05:01Hey, will your old man be wild?
05:02Hey, what you got there?
05:03I don't know. Something one of those gangsters
05:05is wearing under his coat lapel.
05:06What about that heap? Will it still travel?
05:08Let's call it a macro.
05:09What are you talking about? It's been in that old truck.
05:11With a genius like Ace, it'll be once and twos in no time.
05:13She's a happy bunch of scrappy.
05:15Hey, uh, should we call the cops about the truck?
05:17Uh-uh, we don't mix.
05:20If you think you're gonna follow the truck with this wreck,
05:22you're nuts.
05:23Ah, for once, you're right.
05:24The motor's OK.
05:25It needs a new fan assembly, a new head,
05:27and probably some timing gears.
05:28Yeah, a little salt to put on those birds' tails
05:30so they'll wait while you're doing all that.
05:32Well, we just can't sit around and let them get away
05:34with the truck, can we?
05:35They got away with more than that, brother.
05:37There's a bunch of letters from the state bank
05:38around the corner.
05:39Ah!
05:50Move on.
05:51Get away from that car.
05:52What car?
05:53You mean this Corpus Delirious?
05:54Ah, you missed the boat this time, copper.
05:56Those gangsters got away in my truck.
05:57What's the license of the truck?
05:58PCQ 9069.
05:59No, I wasn't speaking.
06:00You're wrong.
06:01Well, make up your mind.
06:02It's PCQ 9069, just like I said.
06:04Ready all that in.
06:05Right.
06:06Keep your hands off that car.
06:07You might ruin what fingerprint's already there.
06:09You ain't gonna find any of those gangsters'
06:10fingerprints on that load.
06:11Why not, wise guy?
06:12Because they wore gloves.
06:14How do you know?
06:15Well, I've got a gun.
06:17They wore gloves.
06:18How do you know?
06:19I got eyes, haven't I?
06:20And Felix, too.
06:21One of the gloves smacked him right in the kisser.
06:23Hey, hey, settle about that thing.
06:25What thing?
06:27What thing?
06:28Oh, he means that lump, that lump.
06:29He got hit on the head with a hammer.
06:31Well, if you've got any evidence,
06:32you better turn it over.
06:33I ain't got nothing, not even my truck.
06:35Did you identify any of the men?
06:36No.
06:37Well, then get going and clear out of here, all of you.
06:40Belligerent, huh?
06:41Yeah.
06:48Oh, my God.
06:49Oh, my God.
06:50Oh, my God.
06:51Oh, my God.
06:52Oh, my God.
06:53Oh, my God.
06:54Oh, my God.
06:55Oh, my God.
06:56Oh, my God.
06:57Oh, my God.
06:58Oh, my God.
06:59Oh, my God.
07:00Oh, my God.
07:01Oh, my God.
07:02Oh, my God.
07:03Oh, my God.
07:04Oh, my God.
07:05Oh, my God.
07:06Oh, my God.
07:07Oh, my God.
07:08Oh, my God.
07:09Oh, my God.
07:10Oh, my God.
07:11Oh, my God.
07:12Oh, my God.
07:13Oh, my God.
07:14Oh, my God.
07:15Oh, my God.
07:16How much is this Mr. Holder?
07:21Well, that'll cost you about twelve dollars.
07:23All right.
07:25I'll take it.
07:28What do you suppose your old man will say about you losing the trunk?
07:33Nothing I haven't heard before.
07:34I'll knock your block off.
07:36How would you like to get your ears pinned back with your teeth?
07:38I'll let him alone.
07:39I still think you should've shown the cops that thing.
07:41I ain't getting mixed up with dicks and flatfoots.
07:43Let him do that job and I'll do mine.
07:45Come on, let's go see what Eddie's doing.
07:56Hi, Eddie. How's the big invention coming along?
07:58Hello, Ace. Oh, it works great on paper.
08:01You can't put a muffler on an airplane motor. It cuts down the power too much.
08:04Eddie says you can. That's good enough for me.
08:06Sure, anything little brother Eddie says is all right with you.
08:08Look, wise guy, wait till it makes about five million bucks.
08:10Then you'll be talking out of the other side of your mouth.
08:12Yeah, that'll be a shoe of another color.
08:14You mean a horse on the other foot.
08:16Come on, let's see it work.
08:17It doesn't. Oh, sure it does. Come on, let's try it.
08:29I'd like to have you deliver those things today.
08:31I'll send all this stuff over as soon as the truck gets back.
08:33All right.
08:44See? Yeah, I see.
08:46Shut up.
08:48Stick with it, kid. You'll hit it right, yeah.
08:50Come on, fellas, let's go. So long, Eddie.
08:52So long. Take it easy, Eddie.
09:10Okay, hold the truck for us, but don't notify the owner.
09:12Yes, we'll be right down.
09:16The police found the truck out in the country.
09:18There was no trace of the gang.
09:19Looks to me like that same mob that held up the state bank in Riviera last week.
09:23A carefully planned job by a well-organized gang.
09:27Our best lead is that truck.
09:29The boy who owns it must have had a good look at the crooks.
09:31What I can't figure out is how they disappeared so completely from where they left the truck.
09:36Just like that in the thin air.
09:38Maybe you have something.
09:40What do you mean?
09:41That thin air.
09:42Let's go.
09:43Let's go.
10:10Number one wishes to come in. Is it safe?
10:12Send plane number one in.
10:42Number one wishes to come in.
11:12Number one wishes to come in.
11:58Operation is very successful, Baron.
12:00Good.
12:01Good.
12:04Very nice. Very nice.
12:06We need such funds since our enemies have seen fit to freeze our deposits.
12:11Very true, Excellency.
12:13And it was clever of you ordering us to strike at a state bank which finances many of the defense industries.
12:18A double blow at those we mean to conquer.
12:21This money will enable us to buy more of those small, easily concealed machine guns which the Americans make so cleverly.
12:29And which they so stupidly sell to anyone that will pay their price.
12:32It is fortunate for us.
12:34We shall be well armed when our forces strike at the Pacific.
12:37But enough of the future.
12:39I have located the factory where that mysterious pursuit plane is being made in secret.
12:46That is great news, Excellency.
12:48There is to be some sort of air meet at the factory's test field.
12:51Under cover of that, it shall be easy for you to accomplish our purpose.
13:04How are you doing, mugglers?
13:07Does Marschneider see me as the windblower from the glue factory?
13:11That's no glue. That's a dead fish.
13:13How are you both doing?
13:15It smells like a certain character should be nameless.
13:17All right, smart guy.
13:20Oh, no!
13:21Oh, my dear.
13:22I've had enough of you guys.
13:24I've got a lot of work to do on this.
13:26Scram, will you?
13:27Yeah, come back when we ain't so busy.
13:28We'll help you break your legs.
13:29You won't live long enough, not if you try to fly that old crate.
13:32Look, you just come out to the air races, fella.
13:33You'll see what this crate will do.
13:35I'll be there.
13:36Just for laughs.
13:37Very funny.
13:38Very funny.
13:41Who's got my wrench?
13:42Freeze ball has it.
13:43Go on.
13:44It's an old wrench I found.
13:45Yeah?
13:46How would you like to have your ears knocked right into your socks?
13:48See that nick on the handle?
13:49That's my wrench.
13:50Any wrench could have that.
13:51Yeah, any wrench couldn't have my initials.
13:53But this one is going to have, right now, a big B-L.
13:58Why, you...
13:59Please, no bloodshed.
14:03Billy.
14:04Yes, Dad?
14:05I want you boys to load some stuff on the truck for a customer.
14:08Sure.
14:09Say, Dad, Eddie was telling me you're trying to sell a motor out of our plane.
14:11You wouldn't do that, would you?
14:12I sure would if I could make a deal for it.
14:14We got to eat, haven't we?
14:15Flying that old crate and some meat.
14:17Won't buy any groceries.
14:18Yeah, but, Dad, if we win, the prize money will help Eddie out with his invention.
14:20Then we'll be rich.
14:21Ah, more pipe dreams.
14:23Now, get busy and load that...
14:25Where's the truck?
14:26You mean the truck?
14:27Yeah, the truck.
14:29Sure, the truck.
14:30Uh, I was just going to tell you that...
14:37I was just going to tell you, Dad, I, uh, loaned the truck to a friend of mine.
14:48Uh, thanks for bringing back the truck like you promised.
14:52Thank you for letting me take it.
14:53It sure came in handy.
14:54All right, the truck's back.
14:55Let's get busy.
14:56Sure thing, Dad.
14:57Now, wait a minute, I want to talk to you.
14:58Yeah, just a minute.
14:59All right, fellas, start loading her up.
15:00It'll be a pleasure.
15:02Go on, beat it.
15:03I got some private business to take care of.
15:05Beat it!
15:08Thanks for backing me up, mister.
15:10Where'd you find...
15:11Can you help me?
15:12Certainly, name it.
15:13You got a good look at the man who held up the state bank and stole your truck, didn't you?
15:16You think you could identify any of them?
15:18You a cop?
15:20Sort of.
15:21I'm with the state bureau.
15:22Never saw him before.
15:23Wouldn't know if I saw him again.
15:24Maybe if you looked at some pictures...
15:25Thanks, Nate.
15:26I don't want any part of that stuff.
15:28You know, Ace, when you're helping us, you're helping to protect yourself and other law-abiding citizens.
15:32That's for the cops.
15:33I got my own job to do.
15:36Okay, fella.
15:37Thanks for the truck, anyway.
15:49Did you learn anything?
15:52No.
15:53Young Holden is allergic to cops.
15:55Why don't you work on him?
15:56No, that wouldn't get us anything.
15:58Then what?
15:59This is a job for our young friend, Jerry Markham.
16:01Oh.
16:15I figure that where boys are concerned, another boy can learn more than a grown-up can.
16:19That's where you juniors come in.
16:20Well, that's for us, Mr. Ames.
16:21We'll give you all the help we can.
16:23Isn't Holden that junkyard kid that's trying to reassemble that plane?
16:26Yes, and he's liable to do it.
16:27He's a smart kid.
16:28Smart enough to get his flying lessons for nothing.
16:30Well, how does he manage that?
16:31Oh, he and his pals do odd jobs at the test field of the faculty down there.
16:35Is he going to enter a plane in the junior contest you're in?
16:37Yes, he hopes he is.
16:39Fine.
16:40Make that your point of contact.
16:41Holden got a good look at those bank robbers, and he can help us a lot, if he will.
16:45Well, we'll get right on it, Mr. Ames.
16:46Good.
16:54Hey, how much longer does he got to stay up?
16:56Just a couple of minutes more.
16:57A lot of things can happen in a couple of minutes.
16:59Quiet!
17:00Hello, suckers.
17:02Get away, me ginger bottoming.
17:04While Ace flies through the air, you guys do all the work, huh?
17:07What are you talking about?
17:08He's got to complete his time, ain't he, so he can qualify for the Army.
17:11You'll kill me.
17:12Come to think of it, it's not a bad idea.
17:14Cut it out, will you?
17:15What's the matter with you?
17:16What's the matter with you?
17:17What's the matter with you?
17:18What's the matter with you?
17:19What's the matter with you?
17:20What's the matter with you?
17:21It's not a bad idea.
17:22Cut it out, will you?
17:23Crawl back in the woodwork.
17:25We got more important things to think of.
17:27I still say you suckers.
17:28What do you get out of it?
17:29When Ace wins the Army, we get good jobs.
17:31Yeah?
17:32What kind of jobs?
17:33The kind we like, working around planes.
17:35I know, the ground crew.
17:36And the higher he flies, the smaller you guys will look to him.
17:38Look at you, refugee from a sewer.
17:40Only one guy could take flying lessons, so we elected Ace.
17:52Ace!
17:53Ace!
17:54Ace!
17:55Ace!
17:56Ace!
17:57Ace!
17:58Ace!

18:19Ace!
18:20Ace!
18:21Ace!
18:22Ace!
18:23Ace!
18:45That gives me enough hours to get my license, doesn't it?
18:47Sure does, Mr. Huldon.
18:48It's your mess, Double-Face! Clean it up!
18:50When are you getting your license?
18:52I'll be a full-fledged pilot tomorrow after my flight test.
18:54Next stop, Eagle Squadron.
18:56We've still got a lot of work to do on the ship.
18:58Well, let's get to it. We've got to get ready for inspection.
19:00Sure, we've got something to work for now.
19:02Suppose Ace don't win the race.
19:04You want to get in that mess with Double-Face?
19:06I was only kidding, fellas.
19:19There's that nosy washout, Markham.
19:21Yeah. Bought some stuff the other day, remember?
19:23Said he had a plane in a race, too.
19:25He's spying on us.
19:26Sure, trying to steal some ideas from our plane.
19:28Let's take him.
19:29Come on.
19:33Hello, fellas.
19:34You got any business here?
19:35Oh, nothing special. I was just looking over your plane.
19:37Okay, you've done it. Now beat it.
19:39You're not going to enter this wreck in the meat, are you?
19:41It may not be streamlined, but it's not a wreck.
19:44You won't stand a chance.
19:46Yeah? We know things about that plane.
19:48Well, you'll know more about it after the meat's over.
19:50Why, you!
19:52Let me get him a murder rope!
19:53Wait a minute. That wouldn't be fair.
19:55Fair? Why not?
19:56He's entered in the meat, too. We'll take care of him afterwards.
20:00Right, Ace.
20:01No, thank me.
20:02I just want to keep you in the race so you can see what our plane looks like from behind.
20:06Boy, it's a lucky thing I'm a gentleman. I would have torn him apart.
20:09Are you kidding?
20:17Ladies and gentlemen, the next and final event will be the speed race of Jupiter Aircrafts.
20:26Get that spot off of there.
20:27This is going to be the greatest race of the eight!
20:29Yeah, I like it.
20:30I thought I'd shoot you up a little.
20:31Oh, come on, Ace.
20:32Come on, Ace.
20:33Come on, Ace.
20:34Come on, Ace.
20:35Come on, Ace.
20:36Come on, Ace.
20:37Come on, Ace.
20:38Come on, Ace.
20:39Come on, Ace.
20:40Come on, Ace.
20:41Come on, Ace.
20:42Come on, Ace.
20:43Come on, Ace.
20:44I thought I'd shoot you up a little.
20:54Oh, Bob.
20:55Be sure and check that motor, Collingwood.
20:56Okay, Jerry.
20:57I'll have everything inspected.
20:58Right.
21:07We'll never stand a chance against that.
21:09Hey, you guys want a good man on your ground crew?
21:11Get out of here, gent.
21:12You're bad luck.
21:13I'll slug you.
21:14Come on.
21:15Come on.
21:16What are we waiting for?
21:17Let's roll her up to the line.
21:18Okay, ground crew.
21:19Start pushing.
21:20Hit the road.
21:21Okay, Ace.
21:22Come on, push this time, greaseball.
21:44Attention, please.
21:45All pilots report to the judge's desk.
22:14Oh, no.
22:15Oh, no.
22:16Oh, no.
22:17Oh, no.
22:18Oh, no.
22:19Oh, no.
22:20Oh, no.
22:21Oh, no.
22:22Oh, no.
22:23Oh, no.
22:24Oh, no.
22:25Oh, no.
22:26Oh, no.
22:27Oh, no.
22:28Oh, no.
22:29Oh, no.
22:30Oh, no.
22:31Oh, no.
22:32Oh, no.
22:33Oh, no.
22:34Oh, no.
