Hiya, doctor.

Hi. What have you today, boys?

Tell him what we have.

Doc, I got a terrific
pain right here.

Every time I squeeze
my Adam's apple,

I can taste cider.

Ooh!

We'll have the merchant's lunch.

Okay. Merchant's lunch on !

Ice water coming up.

This soup is
a marvelous accomplishment.

It's a prodigious achievement.

You're gonna love it.
It's putrid.

Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck.

Say, Dr. Lyman,

if we could get these silly
fellows to call on little Betty,

their antics might snap her
out of her lethargy.

That might be worth a try.

Oh, boys,

I'm going to ask you
to do something

that may save the life of
a little girl. Will you do it?

Certainly. What is it?

Well, this is the situation.

This little girl's father
is a bank cashier

who disappeared
with $ , worth of bonds.

Hm. Nice work if you can get it.

The police figure
that he was kidnapped

while delivering these bonds.

But his little girl...

Will someone please
bring back my daddy?

Yes, darling, but look
what the doctors brought you.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

But how, gentlemen?

You said the girl and her father
yodeled to each other like this:

and an anchor tattooed
on his shoulder.

And he's ' "
