00:00Last stop for another exciting adventure in outer space with Scott McCloud, Space Angel,
00:13in the story of the Saucer Caper.
00:21Here's our turnoff.
00:30Hi, Mr. McCloud, Miss Mace.
00:40Hi, Pete.
00:41Morning, Pete.
00:42Where to today, Commander?
00:43Jupiter?
00:44Saturn?
00:45Pluto?
00:46Picnic.
00:47Picnic?
00:48Where's that?
00:49Picnic?
00:53That's right.
00:55We're going to drift through the clouds on a pleasant Sunday outing and eat fried chicken.
01:00That okay with you?
01:01Picnic.
01:03Geez.
01:04I guess death-defying heroes aren't allowed to go on picnics.
01:09This hero is, and nothing's going to ruin it.
01:12ATC, this is 117 Bravo in the parking zone.
01:16Over.
01:17Bravo, this is ATC.
01:19Where away, Mr. McCloud?
01:21Jupiter?
01:22Saturn?
01:23Pluto?
01:24Picnic.
01:25Say again, Bravo?
01:27I said program me to the West Coast and return.
01:31The West Coast?
01:32Anywhere on the West Coast?
01:34Anywhere.
01:36Yes, sir.
01:37Right away, sir.
01:38Gee, what a grouch.
01:41Don't gower at me.
01:42I didn't say a thing.
01:44Your course is programmed, sir.
01:46Range 4200.
01:47Cruise 1200.
01:49Fuel four hours with reserve.
01:51Auto control on.
01:52Fuel okay.
01:53Auto control, check.
01:55Have a picnic, sir.
01:57Thanks.
01:58We will.
02:16Freedom.
02:20Peace.
02:26Solitude.
02:30I can't believe it.
02:32We're actually going on a picnic.
02:36And nothing's happened to prevent it.
02:44I don't believe it.
02:45Something's bound to happen.
02:47Well, what are you trying to do, wish it on us?
02:50Relax, Bruce. Nothing's going to happen.
02:59Hey, there's a flying saucer.
03:02Where?
03:03Right there.
03:04Isn't he getting a trifle close?
03:06He will end close.
03:08No markings.
03:09He's not an ATC flight control.
03:16Oh, where'd he go?
03:17I don't know.
03:20There, Scott.
03:23That's an impossible maneuver.
03:32ATC, this is 117 Bravo declaring an emergency. Over.
03:36Bravo, this is ATC. What is the nature of your emergency? Over.
03:40We're being hounded by an unmarked aerobatic saucer.
03:43Advise all craft in the area to institute auxiliary magnetic sensor control.
03:48This guy's nuts.
03:50Scott, he's leaving.
03:57Hello, ATC. Steer all craft clear of me.
04:00I'm going on manual and take after that bogey.
04:03Keep your eyes.
04:04Bravo, watch.
04:14I can't see anything in this soup.
04:17Well, we've lost him.
04:22Scott, hey, pull out.
04:24You trying to unwind the altimeter below zero?
04:26Flame out. You don't want me to stall us out, do you?
04:29I knew, I knew something was going to happen.
04:32You wished it on us.
04:35A flame out.
04:36Can Scott restart in time to follow the strange saucer?
04:40Can Scott restart in time to follow the strange saucer?
04:43Don't miss the next exciting episode of Space Angels.
05:00Remember last time Scott and Crystal were en route to the west coast.
05:04As they cruised lazily through the sky,
05:06a strange saucer ship with no markings
05:09buzzed them doing almost impossible maneuvers.
05:12Scott switched his ship to manual control and gave chase.
05:16As they entered a cloud bank, their engines suddenly cut out.
05:19Scott, what are you trying to do? Take a hold of China?
05:22Better pick up speed before restart.
05:36Oh, no!
05:46I'd give anything to know what kind of ship that saucer was.
05:51What kind of power.
05:53Oil pressure's still not right.
05:55Where are we, anyway?
05:57Chris?
05:58Hey!
05:59You with the dazed look.
06:01I just figured it out.
06:03You clocked Mach 1.5 when you pulled up to 3,000 feet.
06:081,100 miles per hour equals 18.3 miles per minute.
06:13In other words, another two seconds delay in that pullout.
06:17And we've had to call off our picnic.
06:20Oh!
06:21What I'd really like to know, Chris, is where are we?
06:24Recognize that city down there?
06:26Why don't I look at our position chart?
06:28It has writing on it.
06:30And the writing says Cedar Rapids.
06:33Hey, great. We can sit down at the Kendall's.
06:36You remember Johnny Kendall?
06:37The boy scientist who almost disintegrated the world with sound?
06:41Sure I do.
06:43Well, let's go see him.
06:45We ought to make this day complete.
06:51Uh-oh! Here comes Retribution.
06:54Huh?
06:57It's Mr. McCloud's ship.
06:59It's coming down.
07:01Boy, let's get this door closed quick.
07:03I thought you said he's your friend.
07:05He is.
07:06But after what we did to him, if he sees what's in here...
07:09Oh.
07:17Hi, Mr. McCloud.
07:18Hi, Johnny.
07:19You remember Miss Mace.
07:20Sure.
07:21Hi.
07:22Hello, Johnny.
07:23Sure. Hi.
07:24Hello, Johnny.
07:25This is my friend, Snuffles.
07:27Snuffles?
07:28Pleasure, Snuffles.
07:29We did be dusted.
07:32Your folks not home, Johnny?
07:34Uh, they're in town.
07:36Probably be gone all day.
07:39They might never come back.
07:41Sure sorry you missed them.
07:43Well, we haven't missed them yet.
07:45If I don't find the cause of my trouble here, we're liable to be stranded here a month.
07:50Gee, maybe I can help.
07:52What's the trouble?
07:53Loss of oil pressure caused a flame out at the altitude.
07:57Scott!
07:59Miss, what is it?
08:00In here.
08:01Look in here.
08:02Uh-oh.
08:03We're dead.
08:06In here?
08:07Well, what's in here?
08:09Just look.
08:12Oh, no.
08:13The saucer.
08:15We didn't mean any harm, sir.
08:18We was just playing.
08:20You see, I recognized you and Miss Mason, your ship.
08:25And we was just tested to see if it'll work.
08:29Yes, sir.
08:30And you see, well, we, uh, well, it works just fine.
08:35What is it?
08:37What makes it go?
08:39It just goes.
08:42It don't have a idjide.
08:44What makes it go, Johnny?
08:46Nothing is what makes it go, sir.
08:49Kinda.
08:50It's an anti-gravity machine.
08:53I gotta sit down.
08:55An anti-gravity machine.
08:57Well, this can revolutionize air travel.
09:00Just think, for centuries, man has searched for some way to harness gravity,
09:04and a couple of kids do it with a toy.
09:07Oh, man.
09:10Has Johnny Kendall really overcome gravity with his flying saucer?
09:14Don't miss the next exciting episode of Space Angels.
09:20Crystal were in pursuit of a flying saucer when their ship flamed out.
09:24When they landed to make repairs, they found the saucer was flown and built by Johnny Kendall.
09:30Johnny, you and I are going to have a heart-to-heart talk about air safety
09:35and the dangers of buzzing traffic, and you'll have the ATC to answer to.
09:40Yes, sir.
09:42Johnny didn't have nothing to do with it, Mr. McCluskey.
09:46Oh? Is that so?
09:48No, sir.
09:50I was the pilot in command.
09:53Aw, cut it out, snuffles.
09:55Well, we'll hold off on the lecture for the moment.
09:59Right now, I'd like to know what makes this thing tick.
10:02Well, it's pretty complex, sir.
10:05I'm not sure you'd understand.
10:07Try me.
10:08In lay terms, gravitation, you know, is the mutual attraction of bodies for one another.
10:13My theory holds that this attraction is magnetic, you see.
10:17This control then acts to bend the force of gravity in any direction wanted,
10:21and this acts as a throttle to increase or lessen the force.
10:25Hmm.
10:27What's your max velocity?
10:29Unlimited, except when gravitation is used for pull.
10:32Yeah, that's right. You'd have weight, then, therefore physical limits.
10:36Sure.
10:37What you've got here will revolutionize air travel.
10:41It's fantastic.
10:43Has it been registered?
10:44Not yet, but I got the papers drawn.
10:47It has to be protected.
10:48Johnny, why don't you let me take this prototype model to the Interplanetary Space Council?
10:53Sure, that way you'd get universal protection.
10:55You can't take it today.
10:57Gee, no, not today.
10:59Snuffles has to race it in the coaster derby.
11:01What? Coaster derby?
11:04Coaster derby.
11:05This thing?
11:07In a kid's coaster derby?
11:09Why not? It meets all the requirements.
11:12But this is no coaster, Johnny.
11:14It won't even be a race.
11:16It'll be a massacre.
11:17You don't understand.
11:19Not any of the kids like me.
11:21Only Johnny.
11:22I gotta win that race.
11:25I gotta have status.
11:27I promised Snuffles he could.
11:29That's why I built the thing.
11:31Yeah, you promised.
11:33Well, Snuffles old man,
11:36after today's race, you will have status, all right,
11:39with every promoter, spy, and agent in the solar system.
11:43I think you'd better stick around, Scott.
11:45Hey, great!
11:47We'll have a real picnic.
11:59All entries to the starting line.
12:01The race is about to begin.
12:04I put a governor on the throttle to hold her down, Snuffles.
12:07And remember, keep your wire skids scraping on the street.
12:11If you lift her off, they'll disqualify you.
12:14Gotcha, chief.
12:16The starter is ready, and they're off!
12:23It looks like Sniffles in Ladybug is having trouble.
12:27Snuffles, what's the matter with you? Get going!
12:30I had to blow by dough.
12:35Snuffles is off, but way behind the pack, too bad.
12:50Look at that boy go! He's gaining on the field!
13:01Snuffles is moving on in front.
13:05Snuffles is the winner!
13:19Now, there, Chris, is a boy with status.
13:26All right, how's that for a billion clam deal?
13:29I read the papers, Mr. Natty, but I don't get the connection.
13:33You don't get the connection?
13:35That's a revolutionary machine. It says so right here.
13:38We heist that thing, we can make a deal anywhere.
13:41For billions!
13:42Do it, Fink.
13:44Make the syndicate happy, hmm?
13:46All right, you mugs, make me happy.
13:49I want that machine!
13:52Just as Scott had predicted, a gang of crooks is out to steal Johnny's flying saucer.
13:57Can Scott stop them?
13:59Don't miss the next exciting episode of Space Angels!
14:04Snuffles had entered Johnny's flying saucer in the coaster derby and won the race with ease.
14:09The newspaper accounts of the race prompted a gang of crooks to attempt to steal the saucer.
14:18All right, now, here's the setup.
14:20As soon as we get into town, we get ourselves a big truck, see?
14:24Then we ride out to where they got this, uh, machine parked.
14:27Do a little fast talking, load her aboard, and ride off.
14:31Simple, huh?
14:33Yeah, Fink. That's simple, all right.
14:36Gotta hand it to you, Fink.
14:38You sure cover for the fibble feather.
14:41I don't know.
14:42I don't think we should attempt something so dangerous.
14:45What do you mean, you don't think?
14:48Who asked you to think?
14:50I was only thinking that...
14:51You don't think, get me?
14:53If there's any thinking to be done, I do it.
14:55I am the thinker.
14:57Sure, Fink. We get you.
14:59Sure, we do.
15:00We've always said you were a real thinker, Fink.
15:03Thanks, Dillmuster.
15:05All right, you mugs want to know how we do it?
15:08I'll tell you.
15:10We're gonna be agents for the I.S.C.
15:13Hey, the I.S.C.!
15:15The I.S.B.!
15:17Great idea!
15:19The I.S.C.?
15:21That's right, Creepy.
15:23The I.S.C.
15:25The Iowa Sanitation Commission?
15:27Right!
15:29You miserable bombers.
15:31What do we want with the Iowa Sanitation Commission?
15:35We're gonna be special agents for the Interplanetary Space Council.
15:52Great job of painting those I.S.C. signs on the doors, Creepy.
15:57Yeah, great, Creepy.
15:59It was nothing, really.
16:01You see, I once took a very expensive correspondence course in artistic painting.
16:06Yeah, you should have finished it.
16:08The sign's supposed to say I.S.C., not I.C.S.
16:12Okay, slow down. We're coming to the Kendall place.
16:22You'll have to move along, mister.
16:24This is a restricted area.
16:26Glad to see you're on the ball, soldier.
16:28But you can let us pass.
16:30We're special agents for I.S.C.
16:32Come to pick up the saucer.
16:34Well, you'll have to check inside, sir.
16:36Evening, folks.
16:38Special agents from the Interplanetary Space Council.
16:41Scott, you know these men?
16:44I.S.C., you say?
16:46Then you gents should know your code name for Blue Flash.
16:49What's this code name, Jez?
16:52You want credentials? We got credentials.
16:54Show them, Creepy.
16:56Please, mister.
16:58How's that for credentials, wise guy?
17:00All right, who else we got in the house here?
17:02Only the two.
17:03No, we're alone.
17:05Check that out, Creepy.
17:07And get the boys in here with some rope.
17:09All right, folks.
17:11Down on the floor on the tummies, huh?
17:14Come on.
17:16Come on.
17:18Hey, Snuffles.
17:19You awake?
17:21Yeah.
17:22What's happening?
17:24Shh.
17:25Just lie low.
17:26Don't make a sound.
17:28Easy does it.
17:29A little more.
17:30That's it.
17:32Hey, this buffer is light.
17:35Well, my corner ain't.
17:37Come on, get it into the truck.
17:39That does it.
17:40Lock her up and let's hit the road.
17:43Sit tight, people.
17:45I've got my ropes loosened.
17:47Oh, what a relief.
17:49Mr. McCloud, the boys.
17:51Where are Johnny and Snuffles?
17:53I'll check on that in a minute.
17:54Where could they be?
17:55They went to bed in Johnny's room,
17:57but those hoods didn't find them there.
18:03They're not there.
18:05There are blankets missing from the bed.
18:07Blankets?
18:08The saucer.
18:10They sneaked out to sleep in the...
18:13Oh, no.
18:22Oh, no.
18:23The crooks have stolen the saucer with the boys inside.
18:26Don't miss the next exciting episode of Space Angel.
18:30Natty and his gang had tied up Scott, Chris, and the Kendals
18:34and stolen the flying saucer,
18:36not knowing that the boys were asleep inside the saucer.
18:43Where does this road lead to, Mr. Natty?
18:46Ah, what do you care?
18:48Every other road, they've got blocks set up.
18:50Gee, what's that up ahead?
18:52Old deserted brewery.
18:54That's where the feds caught up with the great Greg Grandin
18:57back in the old Prohibition days, centuries ago.
19:00We'll be safe there.
19:07Hey, not bad, Fink.
19:09Ah, forget it.
19:10Let's take a look at that saucer.
19:12Hey, what's this?
19:14A couple of punk kids.
19:16Those are the kids that built this thing.
19:18Well, now, ain't that just dandy?
19:22That's what I call a real piece of luck.
19:37Oh, Scott.
19:39We've been searching for hours and hours,
19:41and we're still not sure what we're looking for.
19:43It has to be a truck of some kind, Chris.
19:46Probably with ISC markings.
19:49And it has to be in the area.
19:51Nothing's gotten past the roadblocks.
19:54All right, now you boys are gonna show us
19:57how this machine works, see?
19:59And there ain't gonna be no trouble.
20:02I don't like you.
20:04You shouldn't talk like that to your elders, kid.
20:07That's impertinent.
20:09I don't like you.
20:11I don't like you.
20:13I don't like you.
20:15I don't like you.
20:17I don't like you.
20:19I don't like you.
20:21That's impertinent.
20:23I don't like you, too.
20:25Let me fix this kid, Fink.
20:28He's just my size.
20:30Well, boys, you gonna show us how it flies?
20:33I guess I better show you.
20:35Ah, that's the spirit.
20:39Hey, how about that?
20:41It flies.
20:51Hang on, Sniffles.
20:53Here we go.
20:54Look out!
20:59Don't let that thing get away!
21:02Don't let them get away!
21:07Don't shoot the truck!
21:10You stupid fathead!
21:12Oh, oh.
21:14I'm sorry, boss.
21:16I'm sorry, boss.
21:18Oh, I'm sorry, boss.
21:21Here he goes!
21:24That ship.
21:25Look out!
21:26Tower!
21:27Look out!
21:29Get after that flying saucer!
21:32I think the machine's been damaged.
21:34She won't lift up.
21:35Uh-oh.
21:44Here they go.
21:45Let them have it, now!
21:47Hey, I've been leaded on the control.
21:59Scott!
22:00I see him.
22:01Climb on the radio, Chris.
22:10Let them have it again, now!
22:12What are you waiting for?
22:14Shoot, you fatheads!
22:18Shoot!
22:21Whoa!
22:28The Maddy Gang, at last.
22:30Thanks to those clever boys and Scott McCloud.
22:34More, more, more morning, officers.
22:38Thanks, Mr. McCloud.
22:40You bad fellas.
22:42Your little ship really performed.
22:44Yes, sir.
22:45It's a real doozy.
22:48Here we go again.
22:51I see what you mean.
22:54So ends the story of The Saucer Caper.
22:58Don't miss the next exciting adventure with Scott McCloud, Space Angel.
