01:07 We've got to hurry up. The boss will be here pretty quick to get these.
01:10 You mean the big boss is coming up here himself?
01:13 Sure, this stuff is important.

02:40 We won't have to worry about King anymore.
02:42 We can't take any chances with those circulars. Let's get them out of here fast.
02:45 Fine, Kramer. I'll take care of Shorty.
02:47 [music]
03:07 Help me pick these up.
03:09 [music]
03:15 Rangers!
03:17 [music]
03:37 Sorry we didn't get here any sooner.
03:39 A few minutes would have made a loud difference.
03:41 [helicopter]
03:47 [gunshots]
03:48 What's that?
03:49 Listen to this.
03:51 Professor Nelson's formula for super-aviation gasoline is a dangerous experiment and doomed to failure.
03:58 It cannot do what it is claimed for.
04:00 However, it will do what the Fifth Columnists want by holding up our plans for preparedness,
04:06 by causing the destruction of valuable airplanes and the deaths of the men who have been trained to fly them.
04:13 And listen to this. Among these pilots will be our sons.
04:17 Are we going to permit this wholesale slaughter?
04:20 But the Americanos will never believe lies like that.
04:24 If these circulars ever get into the oil field, we're going to have plenty of trouble.
04:28 [music]
04:49 They've appeared in lunch boxes, in the lockers, on the rigs, in automobiles.
04:53 They've made a third job of it.
04:55 Why, this is ridiculous.
04:57 My formula is absolutely safe.
04:59 There's not a word of truth in this thing.
05:01 Unfortunately, we're not the ones who have to be convinced. It's the men.
05:05 I'll publish an editorial denying there's any danger.
05:08 That'll help.
05:09 But a test flight with Professor Nelson's fuel in the plane would be more convincing.
05:13 You're right, it would.
05:15 What do you say, Nelson? Agreeable?
05:17 Certainly.
05:18 And to show you my faith in the formula, I'll have my own son fly the plane.
05:23 That's a good idea.
05:24 How soon can he get here?
05:26 Ronnie's in Galveston.
05:28 I'll phone him right away to leave tonight.
05:32 There'll be all gentlemen. Miss Crane.
05:38 Long distance, please.
05:43 I've got a job for you, Lynch.
05:45 Come here.
05:47 I want you to get in touch with Hamilton, Galveston.
05:50 Have them notify you by a short wave the minute that young Ronnie Nelson leaves for Bordetard.
05:54 Get the kind of a car he's driving and the license number.
05:57 Anything else?
05:58 Yes.
05:59 I don't want young Nelson to reach Bordetard, understand?
06:03 He won't. I'll take care of that.
06:20 All right.
06:30 (engines roaring)
06:59 (engines roaring)
07:07 Pull him.
07:15 All right, nudge him over.
07:33 Run him into the ditch.
07:52 Hello, King.
07:53 Hello, Barton.
07:54 Have you seen this?
07:57 Yes.
07:58 Well, I suppose that means the test flight will have to be postponed.
08:01 No, that'll go off according to schedule.
08:03 Oh, well, who's going to pilot the plane?
08:06 I am.
08:07 Oh, no, King, you're far too valuable a man for that.
08:10 An army representative is here, so we'll have to go ahead.
08:13 Well, the men who put out all that propaganda will do everything they can to stop the flight.
08:17 We're taking every precaution possible.
08:19 My men are watching the plane. There'll be an armed guard on the gas truck.
08:22 Well, I hope everything goes all right.
08:25 So do I. I've got to get a guard for that gas truck.
08:27 See you later.
08:28 So long.
08:51 You all set?
08:52 Right. Sneak up and put me behind it.
09:17 Pull over and stop.
09:25 You, get out.
09:34 I'll take care of him.
09:35 Right. I'll take over from here.
09:40 Okay, get going.
09:50 You know what this is?
09:54 Yeah.
09:56 Pulling this pin now.
09:58 I'll hold the lever with my thumb.
10:01 If my thumb slips, this grenade will blow in just three seconds.
10:05 Now, you gas up that plane and let me help you.
10:07 But remember, I'll be watching you.
10:10 If you try to make a break, a lot of people are going to get killed.
10:28 Go ahead.
10:44 Everything all right, Dave?
10:47 Yes, sir.
10:48 Okay, go ahead.
10:52 Go on.
10:53 Remember, I'm watching you and helping you.
11:18 All loaded, Dave?
11:20 Yes, sir.
11:21 Fine.
11:22 Let's go.
11:25 King should be here in a few minutes.
11:44 Don't get any ideas.
11:52 He doesn't know it, but he's heading for his last ride.
11:55 Last ride?
11:57 What do you mean?
11:59 I put a time bomb in that plane.
12:24 I appreciate you stepping in this way, King.
12:27 It's as much my interest as yours to stop these wild rumors.
12:31 I'm sorry.
12:40 Hello.
13:04 How in the world did you get here?
13:06 Pedro helped smuggle me on board.
13:09 Angry?
13:10 Wouldn't change a thing now if I were.
13:12 That's how I had it figured.
13:23 Professor Nelson!
13:24 Professor Nelson, you've got to stop that plane!
13:26 Why?
13:27 It's going to blow up!
13:28 What?
13:29 That guy that was with me wasn't a guard.
13:30 He had a hand grenade in his pocket.
13:31 That's the reason I couldn't say anything.
13:33 He put a time bomb in that plane.
13:35 We've got to send that other plane up and signal him to bail out.
13:37 That will not do it any good.
13:39 That newspaper girl, Sally, she's in that plane too and she has no parachute.
13:42 Sally?
13:43 What's she doing in there?
13:44 I have no time to tell you now, Wichita.
13:46 Get me a rope ladder.
13:47 I'll start the other plane up.

15:29 Rope cladded.
15:30 Can you make it, Sully?
15:41 Yes, but what about you?
15:42 Don't worry about me.
15:43 Go ahead.
15:45 I'm going to get you.
15:47 I'm going to get you.
15:48 I'm going to get you.
15:50 I'm going to get you.
