And now, Sky King.

You getting nervous, Jack?Watch it, would

you?For the love of heaven, let's get

there in one piece. Signs at

Grover two miles. That old geezer will

probably pop you one right in the eye

when he sees you, I bet.

All right, gimme it. Give me what?Gimme

it and get rid of that holster.

You got rocks in the machinery?We're

supposed to be traveling, men. Bellhops

get nosy sometimes. There are no bellhops

in this town. Where do you think you are?

Still back in Phoenix?They got one hotel,

one Main Street. We just don't

take chances. What chances are we taking?

Didn't we figure this thing out?You

better buck up, Jack. This deal with

Barrett's going to take cuts.

Samuel Worthington Barrett. What in the

name of heaven is this?Well, honey, I I

just wanted to make-- Well, look at my

kitchen. I go next door for an hour and

look. Oh, Dad, we're just gonna have the

best cookies. Here's your grocery, Mr.

Hello, Mrs. Barrett. Hi. And

just how many cookies are you planning to

batch up?Oh, they're really for our

clubhouse, Mama. We wanted to sell some

so we could buy some curtains. And we'll

clean up all this mess, don't you worry.

You're going to look lovely at the bank

Monday morning. What?Your best suit.

Oh, well, damp cloth, little cleaning

floor, I'll fix it up. Besides, I had to

help him, honey. It takes a strong arm to

beat up a big batch of batter like this.

Sam. I'm afraid your father will

never go up, Ellen. And I'm afraid we'll

never finish these cookies if you don't

get out of here. Come on. Don't worry,

Mom, we'll clean it all up. Yes, ma'am,

we'll clean up right away. I believe it

when I see it. Ow.

Afternoon. Sky. Martha, are the kids

still here?Indeed they are. They've got

Sam in the kitchen, ruining his best

suit, baking cookies.

Well, I'm afraid I'm going to have to

tear them away. Oh, and they're having so

much fun. I've got a couple of Rip Van

Winkles, willing to work anywhere but

home. That's right.

Say, Monday's the big day, with all your

cattle coming into town. Sam ought to

have his hands full at the bank. Plenty

of buyers and sellers. Say, what does

Sam do with all that bank money, Martha?

You know, we keep it in a rubber sock at

the bottom of the well. That's what I

thought. Hey,

kids!Come on, let's go.

I hope you didn't have to keep your eye

on them, Martha. Sam Barrett is 58 years

old. I have to keep an eye on him. Oh, is

that so?What you been telling about for

each guy?Never worked so hard my life.

Been baking cookies. Guess those kids

cleaned up that kitchen better than you

and I ever could. Ohh I'm sure. Wish I

had a million likeable. Not

if you had to buy shoes for them every

two weeks. He manages the bank, but he

forgets he doesn't own the money. It's

for you, Dad. What?Someone on the phone.

Me?Who would want to be on a Saturday

afternoon?I bet we got a million

cookies here to sell. Clipper, who's

gonna be our first customer?HmmIt's easy

to see who the first customer's going to

be. Hello?

Say, uh, Barrett, we're a couple of

traveling men. Uh, we understand you run

the bank around here. That's right.

We'd sort of like to do a little business

with you today. Well, I'm sorry, but the

bank's closed, gentlemen. If you care, I

can see you on Monday. We care, Pop.

We care. And we'd just as soon not come

out to the house, see?Well, I guess you

didn't understand me. I don't do any

business after twelve o'clock on

Saturday. Listen, Pop.

Ever hear of a man named Sinclair?

Used to be paymaster of the Cameron

Railroad twenty years ago?

Oh, who is this?

We'll be at the Grover Hotel, room



lost.

Hello?What?

I'll... I'll be right

down.

And you'll do as we tell you, or we're

calling the police, you understand?You do

as we tell you. You're about as subtle as

a drop safe, ain't you, Jack?My name's

not Jack. I've told you a thousand times,

my name is not Jack. All right, Jack.

And stop looking out the window. Nothing

out the window's gonna do you any good,

Pop.

How'd you find me?Couple of weeks ago in

the bank. I was passing through here on

my way to Phoenix. They told me your name

was Barrett. But I know who you were. You

haven't changed so much in 20 years.

Why didn't you go to the police when it

happens, Sinclair?

When I found that the company's money was

gone, and that

note from from Pearl,

saying she wasn't coming back again.

that she and...

that you and she had run away together.

I didn't think about the police.

I just wanted to go searching after you.

I wasn't worried about you and Pearl

stealing the company's money,

or the railroad wondering what had

happened to me.

I just wanted toFind my wife

again. Twenty years ago, Pop,

the cops been looking for the paymaster

of the Cameron Railroad for 20 years.

Yeah, I knew they were looking for

me. Two days after I

lost your trail. If I went to the

police, I was afraid they wouldn't

believe my story. The money was

gone and my head run away.

They mightn't have believed it. If I told

him my wife had stolen the money. Well,

they might, a pop. I couldn't take a

chance. I'd lost too much

already.

So I I just disappeared.

When did you hear that Pearl died?I

saw a picture in an Eastern newspaper

right after that hotel fire. You got

nine lives, ain't you, Jack?You get out

of everything. 20

years I've been here in Grover.

I got a family.

I got a wife and a child now.

And you're not going to implicate them in

this. Look, Pop, just be smart.

All we want's a little cooperation.

Monday's going to be a busy day. There

ought to be a lot of cash coming in the

bank from cattle sales around here. I

told you I wasn't helping you rob the

bank. You heard what he said. We'll

be coming in right after the bank closes,

and you'll have the alarm turned off

before we get there. Calm

down. That'll be enough of that. I won't

help you. I won't do it. We'll give you

the Sunday night to make up your mind.

Remember, Sunday night. I'll never do it.

This town's giving me their trust. So is

your wife and daughter. They gave you

their trust, too. Sunday night, Pop.

You can reach us here any time, day or

night. We'll be right here.

I will teach you by the hand of

God. That

which is with the Almighty,

will I not conceal.

Sander, what were you saying?What?

You were just saying something. We'll

give you to Sunday night to make up your

mind. I'll never do it. This town's given

me their trust. So is your wife and

daughter. They gave you their trust, too.

Sunday night, Pop.

I said you were saying something.

Oh, oh. Part of the sermon we

heard this morning sort of stuck in my

craw. Well, for a man who falls

asleep in church,You have an awful good

memory.

Pretty dress. Oh, you've seen it before.

Good night, Daddy. Good night, Punky. Oh,

Daddy, you're gonna be so proud of me.

I've the best graduation speech. Wrote it

all myself. No help from anyone. Well, it

sounds wonderful to you. Good night,

Mommy. Good night, dear. About to sleep

now. Oh, sure. Good night. Good night.

Martha?

Do you mind if I take a drive into town?

Just for the air. I...

Well, good evening, Mr. Barrett. Please

come in. Your friend's been losing

weight, worrying you wouldn't show.

What'd I tell you?I knew he'd see it our

way. Well, close the door, stupid.

And lock it. You and I have a lot of

things to discuss, Mr. Barrett. I

wouldn't want to be interrupted.

Hello?

Skye Clipper. Sam, we didn't think you'd

mind us coming in here and taking a look

at your map. Ohh No, No not at all.

I'm sorry. We startled you, Mr. Barrett.

We didn't mean to. Ohh That's all right.

It's just that I I didn't expect to see

anyone since the bank is closed. Ohh

I had no idea it was getting so late.

Penny would be wondering what happened to

us, Clipper. That's right. You've been

around a long time, Mr. Barrett. Do you

know a good horse trail up to Bald

Mountain?Sky thinks you have to go clear

around to Indian Creek and then up that

way. Do you know of a shorter way,

Sam?I haven't been up there in a long

time. Well, I I can't remember one just

now. I haven't been up there a long time

either. Something the matter?

Oh, no, no nothing at all. It's just that

I've got a lot of work to do and ohh not

that I want to get rid of you or

anything, but Bill Irwin's been up to

Ball Mountain a hundred times. He should

know the best way if anyone does. That's

an idea, Sky. I'll bet she's over at the

hardware store right now if you want to

ask him. Come on, Clipper, we'll see if

he's there. Thanks, Sam, we'll see you

later. Wait!

I'll let you out the back door, then you

can duck across the alley and and go into

the back of the hardware store.

It'll save you walking around the block.

Hey, that's all right. What's the old

saying, a step earned, a step saved?

Clever. I I keep my car parked out there

all the time. It It saves me quite a few

steps by doing it.

Let's keep your trap shut. Let's go.

Go get the old man.

close that door. All

right, now lock it.

How How did you get in here?There was no

alarm. right, everybody in the other room

now, and no commotion.

Hey, what is this?God, it changes

our plans. The doe's in the

vault. Get the suitcase filled. Well, go

on.

All I needed was you two. Now that you've

got us, what are you going to do about it?

No, don't do anything, Sky. Please.

What'd you do with the other two men?

Don't worry about them. Come on, will you?

What's keeping you so long?It's a lot of

can't get here. I only got two hands.

See who it is. Lose them. Wait a minute.

Mr. Barrett. You

two. Get in the vault. Come on.

Get in the vault.

Mr. Barrett.

What's the matter?Pull that box out here.

Mr. Barrow. This thing's getting out of

hand. Ah, shut up. Barrow.

All right, pup.

I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Barrett, but

are Skye and Clipper here?No. No,

there's nobody here, Penny. Oh, isn't

that just like men?I told them I only had

one more box of cookies to sell and I'd

meet them here. Well, may I wait for

them?No, No I'm afraid you can't,

Penny. Something's wrong,

isn't it?No, come in here.

No wonder there was no alarm.

The alarm wire's been cut. They

didn't take any chances. No, they didn't,

Clipper. I'm going to see if I can't set

off the alarm system from in here. Well,

how can you do that?One of the tellers

got to his alarm button, the outside

contact's been made and still should be

good. What are we gonna do about

these two men, Sky?They're still

unconscious. Do what you can for them,

Clipper.

what do we do

can we get to the car no

your car pop where is it in

back it's it's in back

let's get out of here you too sister oh

can't you stay here please no one will

sh**t us with her in the car move

If I only had something to get down

inside this housing with, I I might be

able to line those tumblers up.

How about a pencil, Sky?Would that do us?

It might.

You think it'll work, Sky?If we're lucky.

Everybody out, please. Everybody out.

come on let's get out of here

sheriff

holy cow Sky what are you and Cliff are

doing in there the bank robbers locked us

in the tellers are still in the vault you

better look after them Jake see if one of

them knows how to turn off that alarm

well it looks like they skipped with the

money where's Sam Barrett I don't know I

haven't seen him but his car's gone from

the back of the bank hey maybe they made

him take his carcould have. There's an

out of state car out in front. Maybe the

alarm frightened. How many with it?Two of

them. Hey, Scott, look at here. That

looks like Penny's glove. Maybe they took

her with them. If they took Sam's car,

they can't be on the road more than 10

minutes. I'll fall into Benning, close

the roads. You know what the car looks

like. But tell them to be careful.

There's a girl with them. Got it. We're

taking the songbird. With any luck, we

should spot their car. Then we can

contact you by radio and you can close

in. Right, come on.

I thought you said there wouldn't be

anyone in the bank. We waited 'til five

after. You sure it'll last things up

today, Pop. I don't care what you do to

me, but just don't don't know who's on

the girl. Leave Mr. Barrett alone.

It's all my fault, Penny. How you gonna

get out of this?They'll close all the

roads. There's only two out of Grover.

Stop the car. Take that road back there.

Let's get off the highway.

They couldn't have made more than 15

miles with the start they've had. But we

don't know which direction they went.

Take three minutes west. That should

cover better than 20 miles, then head

east. All we can do is cover the roads

first. Roger.

What are we gonna do, Sky?They've got to

be in this area, Clipper. If they'd have

moved, we'd have spotted them. How's that

going to help?Fly low. The first thing

that moves... They could be hiding,

waiting until dark to get away. We've

only gone another hour. I know, Clipper,

I know.

They got us pegged, all right. They can

figure out how far we've gone, but not in

which direction. That's our edge.

Okay, get out. It's

bad that you got us into this mess with

your bundling. Uh, don't let me have any

trouble with you. You got a ranch

around here, ain't you?Well,

answer him. Answer him! You

said something in the car about her

ranch. She and that punk kid and that

fancy-pants flyer. Well, how

far?About three miles.

They're not going to be using that ranch

much today. I can see that. What do you

want our ranch for?We're getting the

horses. We're riding out of this tinhorn

country over back trails tonight. Now

start walking.

Can I have some hot water?My feet are

k*lling me.

They're still looking for us, but they

ain't gonna find anything. What do they

think they can see now?I said, Can I

have some hot water?We ain't got time for

that now. Well, the horses are gonna be

all right, you saddled. I put them

where you told me, in the barn. I

took them out of the corral. That don't

answer my question. The spotted one is

the only one you could ride, he and the

gray. The other ones are too

wild. Mr. Barrett and I can

ride anything. That man said he never

rode before. Yeah.

I'm not asking for forgiveness Penny I

know it

it must have been terrible to even make

the decision I should

have faced up to it I was trying to save

my family from harm so I put others in

jeopardy you can't run away from

things Penny you

can't run away Barrett how

far is it over the mountains about 10

milesThat puts us in Crawford in

about three hours. We'll catch a freight

out of Crawford in the morning. All

right, on your feet. Slip around to the

front. Open the door slowly and snap on

the light. I'll rush them.

Who's in there?Come on with your hands

up. Come in and get me. Skye.

I've got a g*n on the girl. Show in 10

seconds or I'll k*ll her.

Who else is with you?Nobody.

Well, wellAnd only you two have

seen us. And Sam Barrett?

He won't talk. It's his neck. But you

know what we look like. Barrett can take

us out of the county tonight alone. I

wouldn't count on that. All right, come

forward.

Nice work, Clipper. How did you know we

were here?That spotted horse of yours, it

wasn't in the corral. Oh, I prayedEvery

minute you discovered she was gone. They

thought they were so smart making us hide

the horses in the barn. I knew nobody

could catch up with you, Penny. That

narrowed the place you could be pretty

closely. We didn't even call a shot. We

were afraid to take the chance. Well, how

did you land?I didn't hear anything.

You've been flying like crazy over this

place ever since we got here. We waited

till dark, cut the engines, and made a

dead stick landing about 100 yards off.

Ohh

Well, Sam?

You know, don't you?I had a hunch when I

saw these in your pocket at the bank.

And crooks don't put ledger books back in

front of cut wires with such care.

It had to be you, Sam. I

don't know yet why you did it, but I

did hear what you told Penny a few

minutes ago. And I meant it, Sky.

Clipper, telephone the sheriff and have

him come on out. Oh, I've had all

the flying I want for one day.

You can never run away from anything,

Sky. Nobody's ever been able to do it

successfully yet. But I've lived

too good a life to be late now. We'll

do everything we can to see that you get

a fair shake, Sam.

I know you will, Sky.

Sky, Clipper, and Penny may now be seen

regularly on TV in a new series of

adventure films. Be sure to watch for

them.
