are you Fred Watson yeah Shirley

I'm Fred Watson

well there ain't much doubt as to which

one of us has the most sense hell nice

to meet you what you're selling I'm not

selling on buying industrial diamonds

you don't see that's the first time one

of you fellas has come clean up here to

deal with this what's the matter running

out of Industrials that's not exactly

out but they're pretty scarce

I have an order for fifty thousand

dollars worth in a hurry fifty thousand

Pete come on up for air oh we got

company

pull up the soft rock I'll boil us up

some coffee

fifty thousand dollars worth of

industrial diamonds sure is a pile of

diamonds I know what sorry I can't give

you more time the three weeks is my

delivery date

have to hire help pay extra wages that

wouldn't leave us much profit all right

I'll pay you a bonus of 15 in that case

we can do it then it's a deal

just one thing

when they're ready how are you going to

get well right in like I did this time

and pick them up

oh one week two weeks at the most that

trail you came over will be under 20

feet of snow on these mountain passes 20

feet of snow I've seen it 30 feet we

snowed in here a couple of months every

year by the way it's cloudy up I

wouldn't be surprised to see it snowing

in less than a week there's no other

route

unless you're a bird that's it I'll fly

in with a plane ain't no plane ever

landed yet in this Valley too Rocky

well if you didn't tell me this sooner I

would have saved a lot of conversation

yeah that's why I did it a conversation

appears to be enjoyed not saved

especially from somebody outside

hey Fred What About Skye

Pete maybe you've got something there

are stillings stillings Mr stealings

we've got a friend near Grover by the

name of Sky King he flies his own plane

do more tricks with her than a monkey on

a mile a grapevine if anybody can fly in

and out of this Valley I'll bet on Sky

he lives in Grover yeah yeah you go

right through there why not look him up

I'll do that and if you completely help

I'll get word to you

[Music]

[Music]

all right

okay give him a signal

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

that was neat I guess that'll solve your

problem Mr stilling it certainly will

[Music]

I was a little doubtful when Watson and

his partner said to stop in and see you

Mr King but I'll have to admit you're a

genius no just an ex-male pilot they've

used these pickup devices for years

there must be a pretty hard yank when

that hook takes holds guy there is

that's why it's better to use a slower

plane like yours with our makeshift rate

rather than the Songbird what's the

difference between industrial diamonds

and the other kind Mr stillings

industrial diamonds are of lower quality

and are used for drilling Rock cutting

metal and polishing hard surfaces well

thank you Mr stillings that's

not as glamorous as the kind you wear a

penny but they're Mighty important and

pretty valuable too when you want to fly

up and drop the rig to Fred and peace

guy right away so they'll know it's okay

to start digging we can use a songbird

for that

like to come with us yeah I'd like to

but if you don't mind I'll hop over to

Denver and confirm the order with the

McRae drilling company and then take

care of some other business all right

well here's the pickup day it's a pickup

day and the bread and feet and to 50 000

worth of time

foreign

good care of an airplane engine look at

Skye he's got the Songbird in for a

major overhaul you're not comparing the

songbird with this

these bags of sand give me a hand with

them what do you use them for if I have

to land out in the desert I use it to

tie the plane down with when it's windy

right tomorrow so do I Fred and Pete

I'm sure you had the diamonds in that

sack sure we did

sack of diamonds out yet

now they're waiting the Black Flag that

means we don't understand them I tried

to make the instructions clear enough

Bob drop a note tell him to hang the

sack of diamonds on the road between the

God if they should have been home with

those diamonds by now

here's the notes guy

look

they're dropping us something

hang Diamond sack on rope between pickup

do it twice I got some rope put some

rocks in that spare sack so it'll

weighed it down I'm going to write him a

note

rocks

and here's the note what does it say

picked up sack half hour ago quit acting

like a lonely burden's aluminum diamonds

what does it means somebody beat us to

it

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

or was this a deliberate scheme now just

a minute and a very clever one of

the fire on my car so I couldn't get

here in time to go with you we had a

flat tire too naturally to divert

suspicion and to give yourselves a

legitimate reason for being late to make

the pickup I don't like your accusation

stillings and I don't like your results

my contract code for delivery of those

diamonds in Denver by tomorrow morning

if I don't make it you're gonna have a

suit for fifty thousand dollars slapped

on you now you listen to me

you came here asking for my help and I

gave it because of Fred and Pete but you

lose I don't care what they lose is

important so I'm going to do everything

I can to recover those diamonds the air

patrols are already on the lookout for

500 miles around I'm flying to Phoenix

now to check with the CAA on Stolen

planes and uncompleted flight plans yeah

just a front I think you already know

where those diamonds are you probably

hid them in the desert on your way back

you're putting an awful strain on

Western Hospitality stealings get out of

here

I don't have those diamonds backed by

dark I'll be back with a sheriff and a

warrant for your arrest

foreign

Skye yes the nerve of him talking like

that even if he was upset

I think he was a little too upset Penny

what

what he doesn't fill this order all he

stands to lose is his commission and I'm

quite sure this isn't the first

commission he ever lost

Bob take the station wagon and follow

him see what he does Penny and I'll be

back from Phoenix by four at the latest

right

oh and just in case there's a r*fle

under the seat of him using on coyotes

oh boy this I like

somebody working with him could have

punctured our tire but why would he

puncture his own

the same reason he accused us to divert

suspicion

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

how about this one

c2453 Wednesday from Dallas gas tear

Thursday

for the flight plan not filed W.T

Hutchins well I happen to process him

myself he's heading for Utah to hunt

deer and Mountain Lion he's going to Bow

here on his way back next week

everything seem in order well it looked

like it was his plane his license showed

lots of flying time and he had camping

equipment a couple of high-powered

r*fles aboard well we haven't time to go

to Dallas to check on him are you Thai

either for that matter

Dempsey speaking

yes

yes

that's it eh thanks

report from the Air Patrol every plane

in the air has been checked and

accounted for

looks like you really picked a tough one

I won't argue that

well thanks for the courtesy sorry I

couldn't hear more help oh penny let's

get back to Grover maybe Bob's had more

luck than we had

[Music]

foreign

nobody would ever spot up in the air I

found that out already the plane's been

buzzing this Countryside like flies

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

station wagon calling

mc2678v2678

mc2678v to station wagon over this is

Bob Skye I just followed stillings to a

shack out in the desert let's go

alongside that check covered with a

canvas it could be a small plane like

mine where is this Shank

out in the flats near lost spring I've

got the station wagon hidden there

fore we can be there in about an hour

keep watch but be careful keep me posted

if anything develops Roger help

[Music]

quarter to five

by the time we get the plane uncovered

you take off it'll be about dark

I'll put the diamonds in the bag and you

can take it with you in a plane when you

go

stealing these himself

if I'd been an actor I would have won

the Academy Award for the way I played

it to keep up appearances I'll drive

back into town turn in that rented car

oh King and blow him out again pop a

train and meet you in hermesville

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

thank you

he's over there behind that rock I

wonder who it is what's the difference

he's no friend

[Music]

nobody inside on this side maybe the

guy's all by himself

uh just keep him pinned down until it's

dark then we can sneak out of here what

about my plane I'll buy you another one

fair enough

[Music]

there's a plane coming

he tries to land here but she stayed in

Phoenix

[Music]

and somebody's sh**ting a ham I told him

not to take any chances we got to get

those fellas out of there in a hurry

even if we land we couldn't

get them

Obama

okay dive on them don't be afraid to

come close

[Music]

that way

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

[Music]

just so you won't be worried stillings

I'll deliver those diamonds in Denver

tomorrow as per contract

I think it might be a nice gesture if

you donated your commission to Fred and

Pete as uh shall we say punitive damages

for the mental anguish you cause them

[Music]

[Music]

a one thing more

I never would have become suspicious of

you if you hadn't overplayed that

indignation act when the diamonds were

stolen

so if you get a chance to be in one of

those prison shows where you're going uh

just remember a good actor always

underplays his part

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

tune in again next week remember reach
