Marsha Winfield has been kidnapped with the octopus because she knew too much about his band and has been smuggled aboard a flower boat that is slowly traveling up the Siang River to Hong Chao. Clinton Barney fly after the boat in the bullet monoplane in the hope that they can rescue the girl. But right after their take off, speed on the dock with Dr. Kingsley and Little Jean notices another plane pursuing his uncle. Recognizing it to be another octopus plane, speed hurries to the doctor's home in order to warn Barney and his uncle. We find him at the set now, trying to get through the airwaves. - KVMC calling OC34, KVMC calling OC34. Come in, Clinton. - Why doesn't clean answer speed? - It's probably too busy watching the river boats to answer right away, Jean. - Well, do you think he has his set open to receive anything, speed? - Oh, yes, sir. Maybe they've noticed that octopus pursuit plane too. - Well, I'm not taking any chances. - OC34 replying to KVMC. OC34 replying to KVMC. - Oh, goody. - What's up, speed? Standing by. - He's talking. - Jean, are you ready for two-way conversation, Clinton? - Yes, Steve. - And listen, right after you and Barney took off, another plane came up out of nowhere, and last we saw, but it was following you. - Following us? - Yeah, haven't you seen it? - Bonnie and I have been watching anything from the river, the sky against me. Wait a minute, I'll take a look. - Now that he's stopped talking long enough to take a look, maybe I'll have a chance. Hi, kid. - Hello, Barney. Have you seen anything of the flower boat yet? - Nothing but champagne and junk so far, but we're keeping our eyes peeled. Hold on, you split. Can't see a sign of a double plane, speed. We've run into a broken overcast up here over the river. The other plane is probably above the clouds, while we're finally moving over the river. - Yeah, in that case, when are we going to worry about? We sure won't worry, end of us. - You've got plenty to worry about, Barney. That pursuit plane is a knock to push ship. - You're home? What's that, kids? What makes you think that? - It's exactly the same kind of a plane as you're in, Clint, and a look off was suspicious, following you that way right after you took off? - Yeah, it's all you've been talking about and I've been keeping an eye caught for it. I haven't seen a plane yet. Maybe it's still the part of a plane, all those things. And again, maybe not. And I will keep watching being the thanks for the warning. - And then there's no the minute anything should happen. What do you, Clint? I'll stay right by the set here. - All right, kids. So long, Ken. I'll see you three more, shining on. - Gee, I don't like that plane business. - Do you think the octopus would have more than one plane? - Gee, he's got everything. That's why he's so hard to fight. - Why did he have to kidnap Marsha? I thought fighting was only done by men. - Say that octopus guy don't recognize any rules, Gene. He fights anybody or anything that might stop him from getting what he wanted. - And Marsha had the onion skin map for Brother Senna. Clint gave me his copy of it to study while he's gone. - Oh, he did. - Well, I wondered. He didn't give it to me. And I know he wouldn't leave it in a room at the Golden Lotus Hotel. - Gee, suppose I'm kidding. Barney has to land. Where will they land if they see on one of his two full of votes? - They don't have to land on water, Gene. That plane has landing wheels, too. But Barney hasn't used them, so he has to let them down. No reason for him in the water. It's all gone. I sure wish I was with him fellas now. - You mean anything of that other crate, Clint? - No, but not likely to unless he drops down. That overcast is getting pretty solid. Might run into range. - You're a brother, Amber Ellis. That's the trouble with these open planes. Get every bit of weather that comes along right in your face. - You should have stayed at home with your nipping grandma. - What do you mean grandma? And I've flown in every kind of weather they got without squogging. - Sure. What are you kicking out for? - Oh, it's unnecessary. That's why it's gonna be hard enough finding that flaw about this caring Marsha without getting a lot of rain in the face. With rain in the face. Sounds like an Indian. Hey, don't you think that's funny? - I don't think anything's funny right now. - At least of all you, Barney. We got a tough job to do. We have another octopus plane on our tail. We may not even get to do it. So cut out the clown. - I must worry about Marsha as you are, Clint. And just to set on finding her. What if we have got an octopus plane on our tail? - Why not clown? - Here today and gone tomorrow. - That's me. - You flatten yourself. You think you're here today? - Yeah. - You're all right, you're a cloud jumper. You don't know what I'd do without you. - What? You don't know. Say, I wish the gang would hear you say that. First time you ever broke down and admitted that. - Hey, hey, hey, look below. Ain't that a flower boat? - Yes, it is. - Hey, lose more altitude, Barney. I want to take a good look. - Don't worry, you'll get one. If I get any lower, I'll land on her debt. At least that'll be the general I did, and there'll be plenty of flowers for our funeral. - Well, it looks innocent enough. Now let's climb as high as we can. Before getting into that overcast, we'll see if we can spot any other flower boats up ahead. If we can't, then we'll land and search this one. - Okay, but that sealant's pretty low, I think. (boat engine roaring) - Hey, hey, you don't have to go straight up. Who's flying this ship? We can't get my trial without going into the overcast, please. Look, our piper's getting tangled up and founds already. - Okay. Level off the size of it for a quick landing then, Barney. Can you make a river landing? - Yeah, he's all clear ahead of that dog boat, and that's where we'll land, so you'll have to stop. - Hey, hey, hold on, level up, honey. There's that pursuit plane. - Sure enough. - He dropped down behind us while we was ironing that river up ahead. What are the orders? - Lose altitude and see what he does. That'll soon tell us whether he's following us, but no side slipping now. Now take it easy. - Okay. He's over us now. Hey, there's something mounted on the rear cockpit. Could be a machine gun. It is a machine gun. He's just taking the cover off. - Self-earned rain doodles. Maybe war's been declared. We wouldn't know messing around in the air as much as we do. - We're sure gonna know in a minute. Hey, Barney, he's nosing down, he's coming right for us. - He is? Hey, machine gun. (engine revving) - Like a fake snake in the grass, then drill pull a machine gun. Look at our wing. - Oh boy, that loop of yours saved us. - Having up along, look at that fella's skin doesn't even get around right there after. If he wants to play, I'm gonna get up through that overcast so that we'll have plenty of room to play in. If we only had a machine gun, there's a carriage here for it, all right? - Yeah, but we can't shoot the carriage. - How's that playful plan doing? - He's coming right after us, but it's not gaining. He's shipped us in any faster than ours. That's one thing to be thankful for. - Better get your gun out though, Clint. - Might be able to go a little good with it for mine. I don't want to get that close if we can help it. That hail a machine gun bullets can't do us any good. - Yeah, what we need is a cannon. - Up. - Here we go into the overcast. - And come out looking too. Don't tell me where that other plane will pop up. Hey, how much gas we got? - Got it out with plenty. - But I don't know if those bullets punctured any of the tanks or not. - I will soon find out. - I get into a dogfight with no gas. - Even if that or establish a new altitude record with no gas, we were sapped to tackle this flight alone anyhow. - Oh, not necessarily. Just bad brace, Bonnie. Just doing this crab and we're gonna have to figure a way out of this. A way to get back to that flower boat. - We probably won't have to figure much. Just enough lead bullets and we'll make the quickest landing you ever saw. - Hey, hey, the overcast is lightening up. We're breaking through. - Yeah. - Cool is right after those clouds. - The sky's empty so far. - Yeah, but not for long. - I'm aiming my prop at the sun for a little while. - And just in case we do make a force landing, I'll have plenty of altitude to play around it. - Hey, hey, there's the other plane. - Right on our tail. - Boy, oh boy, I wish I could add about another hundred miles to our airspeed indicator. - You think you ought to tell speed what's happening over the radio telephone? Tell us how you're swearing. You'd go crazy if you knew the spot we're in. I'll wait until and after it's all over. - Yeah, you tell 'em if you're still able to talk. - I sure wish we'd guess a word from Clinton, Barney. I hate to call 'em again and bother 'em. - Yes, they'll probably call you the moment they have anything important to tell us, speed. - That's the octopus, that's the guy he always made. - The octopus. - That's him, all right, doctor? - Yes, I am the octopus, speed gives 'em. - Can you hear me, octopus? - That's perfect, please. - But how did you come in? How can you hear me? - I can do many things in my output. I frequently said that no one else understands. But aren't you more interested in your uncle just now? - Quinn, what do you know about him? - I know that he and Barney are flying for their lives. Flying from my pursuit plane, which has a machine gun plane down them. - You can't do anything to my uncle and Barney. - Oh, Gandhi, at this moment they are trying to fly away from my plane. But the bullets have already bought their mark in the reserve gasoline tanks of the plane's baller's planes. It won't be long until his other gasoline is gone. And then his motor will fail. - Barney will still bring her to a land and-- - Oh no, because he'll lose air speed by doing so. - And then my flier will drop down and the machine gun will end your uncle's promising career. - Oh no, you can't do that. - It is too late. I have done it. (tires screeching) - What can we do? - Oh speed, can't we help them? Can't you talk to Clinton and Barney? - I'm trying. KVMC, call on OC34. Clinton, Barney, come in. I've gotta reach him. KVMC, call on OC34. - KVMC, call on OC34.
