Calcutta Adventure

[SHRILL WARBLING]
[PROJECTOR WHIRRING]
[PROJECTOR SHUTS OFF]
Wow!
That really blew the lid
off the old gasworks, Dad.
It sure did, Jonny.
Where did you ever
get that film, Dr. Quest?
The Pasha Peddler sent it to me.
Remember him?
I sure do.
And I'll bet that
joker sent it C.O.D.
Oh, yeah, but if it
wasn't for the Pasha,
Hadji wouldn't be here.
That's for sure. Remember?
Your father was lecturing
at the Calcutta University.
[SNAKE CHARMER PLAYING FLUTE]
DR. QUEST: Gentlemen,
you are looking at
Manhattan, City
of New York, U.S.A.
[SHRILL WARBLING]
What you hear and see
are ultra-high-frequency
sonic waves in action.
Used destructively,
sonic waves can
demolish an entire city.
Watch.
[WARBLING INCREASES IN PITCH]
[WARBLING ENDS]
You have just seen
a demonstration
of the power of sonic
waves on a scale model.
As scientists, it is our duty
to explore the
use of sonic waves
for the good of mankind.
[SNIFFS]
Careful, Bandit.
The mongoose has
pretty sharp teeth.
Yeah, he might
mistake you for a snake.
[MONGOOSE CHATTERING]
[BARKING]
Lesson one:
When in India, don't
open strange boxes,
either of you.
We won't, Race.
You know, I'm glad Dad
was asked to lecture here.
I like it.
Speaking of lectures, we'll
miss the demonstration.
Let's go in.
JONNY: Come on, Bandit.
Through the use of sonic
waves, we have discovered
that porpoises have a
language of their own.
Believe it or not,
those fellows are probably
swapping fisherman stories.
Does that mean fish can talk?
Yeah, something like that.
Gosh.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
[BANDIT BARKING]
JONNY: Bandit, come back here!
Heel. Heel!
That's not man's best friend.
That's man's best pest.
All right, all right.
That's enough for today, Bandit.
Your mongoose has had it.
JONNY: Oh, no, you don't!
That man, that man.
He's getting away!
Okay, buddy, who are you?
Let him go, Jonny.
He just saved my life.
Yeah, Dad, but
I don't trust him.
It is well you do not.
Hey!
HADJI: Now we are even.
Say, you're pretty good at judo.
Friends?
Friends.
Well, the least we can
do for our new friend
is to buy him his lunch.
But why the attack, doctor?
It's simple, Race.
Recently, sheepherders
in the mountains
have been stricken by
a mysterious ailment.
Symptoms indicate
the use of nerve gas.
I've been asked to investigate.
Obviously,
someone wants to stop me.
Gosh, Dad. Why?
Perhaps we'll know better
when we reach Bharat.
I know the
mountains well, sahib.
I could be guide, maybe?
I doubt if your parents
would approve, Hadji.
I have no parents, sahib.
DR. QUEST: Oh.
Please, Dad. We could use him.
Well, we'll see.
"We'll see" means
you're in, Hadji.
Thank you, sahib.
The lunch was excellent.
How did you learn
English, Hadji?
Same way I learn judo
From American marine.
He tells me about your country.
One day, I see.
Is that why you followed us?
Sure.
Jonny, look out there.
The man who threw the knife.
Come on, let's
take a closer look.
Okay, I follow you.
He is in that room.
I wish I could see
what he's doing.
You can.
How good are you
at climbing a rope?
Okay, I guess. Why?
Gosh.
Don't just stand there, Jonny.
Start climbing.
Down, boy.
There's another
guy in there with him.
Idiot! Fool!
You had the perfect
chance to stop Dr. Quest,
and you failed.
ASSASSIN: But the
boy saved his life, master.
I shall return to Bharat.
In the meantime
[BANDIT BARKING]
Quiet, Bandit! Scat!
Someone is out there.
What is it?
Ah, it is only a boy.
What do you want?
HADJI: Two rupees, my lord,
and I will reveal
the mysterious
wonders of the East.
Get away from here,
you little beggar.
Go, before I have my
servants chase you away.
I am not a beggar, master.
I am a magician.
Observe.
Sim, sim, sala bim,
and all that jazz!
[BANDIT BARKING]
See?
The dog has disappeared
before your very eyes.
I warn you, go!
Hadji, what's going on?
Where's Jonny?
Coming down.
DR. QUEST: Jonny!
Very good.
Now, what do we
do for an encore?
So the other guy
said he was going to Bharat.
Pretty neat detective work,
huh, Dad?
I appreciate the
information, Jonny,
but if you ever
do that again, I'll
JONNY: I get the message, Dad.
I won't, I won't. I promise.
How much longer
to the village, Hadji?
About two hours' journey, sahib.
I presume I have
made myself very clear.
They must not reach
their destination.
This time, master,
I shall not fail.
Even now, our plane
moves in to attack.
Car in sight.
What are my orders? Over.
Your orders are:
Destroy it. Over.
Will destroy it. Out.
[GUNS FIRING]
Race, that plane
was shooting at us!
He sure was.
The crazy fool.
And it looks like he
is going to try it again.
RACE: Hang on. I'm gonna gun it!
Nice driving, Race.
HADJI: But he's not giving up.
He's coming in
low this time, Race.
I expected that.
He's right on our tail!
And, if I guess right,
he's taking a bead
on us right now.
RACE: Okay, everybody, hang on!
I'm going to hit the brakes.
Golly look what
happened to him.
Yes, Jonny, and it
could have been us.
RACE: You're sure we'll be able
to get snow gear
up there, Hadji?
Yes, Sahib Race, from
an old and venerable friend.
What's wrong, Race?
Whoever's after
you plays pretty cute.
You see those
wood shavings there?
That's an old commando trick.
They've weakened the bridge.
If we
try to cross it
Gosh! That could have been us!
RACE: That was the idea, Jonny.
One thing I tell you,
this is no way to
get to America.
Looks like more games.
Hit the deck, boys.
Wait!
That is not an enemy.
That is Pasha Peddler!
Pasha Peddler?
My old and venerable friend.
In a helicopter?
HADJI: Being old and venerable,
he is wise to the
ways of the world.
You will see.
Hadji, baby!
Pasha!
Hey, what's shaking, man?
PASHA: You've grown two inches.
Venerable, huh?
Pasha, I want you
to meet my friends,
Dr. Quest, Race
Bannon, and Jonny Quest.
[BARKING]
Oh, yes, and Bandit too.
[PASHA LAUGHING]: Crazy.
Any friend of Hadji's is
A-okay with Pasha too.
We were going to Bharat, Pasha,
but somebody
sabotaged the bridge.
No problem, man,
leave the heap
here and hop aboard.
Pasha's flying
flivver is for hire.
Now, if you gentlemen
are going to Bharat,
you're gonna need some gear.
Gear? What kind of gear?
Snow gear, man.
That place sits way
up on top of a mountain,
and it's cold, pops,
and, uh, since we're friends,
I'm gonna let you
take advantage of me.
I got a swinging
special on parkas,
only $39.50.
Hey, that was close.
Of course, extras'll
cost you a little more.
How much more?
20 bucks.
And what are the extras?
The buttons and zippers.
Hey, watch out.
No backseat driving, boy.
Doctor, it's none
of my business,
but what takes you to Bharat?
Some of the
sheepherders are suffering
from a mysterious ailment.
Medical reports indicate
they may have been
exposed to a nerve gas.
Yeah, I've heard
about those poor guys.
Your government has
asked Dr. Quest to investigate.
Will you help us?
PASHA: What, and get gassed?
Not me, man.
Hey, Dad
looks like a door in
the side of a mountain.
Know anything about it, Pasha?
Not me, Pops.
Maybe it's an espresso house,
only they serve nerve
gas instead of coffee.
Maybe you're right.
Take us down, Pasha.
Non-scheduled
landings cost 25 clams.
But because you're
sticking your necks out
for my people,
I'm gonna cut my
landing fee 10 bucks.
DR. QUEST: Thank you, Pasha.
PASHA: Ah, don't mention it.
After all, what are
friends for, right?
Come on, Bandit, it's only snow.
Jump, Bandit, jump.
[LAUGHING] You better
stick close to me, pal.
I'll lead off, doctor.
Right, Race.
And you boys are to
stay here with Pasha.
Aw, Dad.
Ah, relax, kids.
We can have a hootenanny
while we're waiting.
Hey, Dr. Quest,
aren't you forgetting something?
How much?
Ah, 25 should do it.
Fifteen for baby-sitting,
10 for music lessons.
Put it on our bill.
There she is, doctor.
Well, maybe Pasha has something.
See that electronic beam
guarding the entrance?
Yeah, but how
will we get inside?
Did you bring the
sonic amplifier?
Strapped to my back. Why?
Maybe we can
short-circuit the beam
with it
and cause the door to open.
Doctor, you're a genius.
Let's get some pictures
first. They may prove valuable.
Doctor, look out!
Doctor! Doctor!
Attention, control room,
unidentified man
lying in the snow.
CONTROL ROOM: Bring him in.
Yes, sir.
Uh-oh they're
taking him inside.
Now, how do I get
him out of there?
I've got sixpence
Jolly, jolly sixpence ♪
I've got sixpence ♪
To last me All my life ♪♪
Pasha.
Boy, am I glad to see you.
Yeah, looks like I got
here just in time, pops.
Well, what do you know?
You do have a conscience.
Uh, no, a cash box.
Hey, I saw them
drag the doctor inside
and if I get him out, it's
really gonna cost you.
If you can help me
get him out, it's worth it.
Let's go.
You okay, son?
It's a little snug,
but I can manage.
The rate is five cents a mile.
You got a fare.
Come on, let's go.
I got sixpence ♪
Jolly, jolly sixpence ♪
Oh, I got sixpence ♪♪
With a voice like
that, you need it.
We're almost there,
funny man. You all set?
Sure, but how do I get in?
Oh, now just leave it to
me, will you, daddy-o?
You got a plan?
Of course, my boy.
We'll take this place like
General Lee took Richmond.
That was Grant.
No matter, I'll
think of something.
Oh, brother.
Old clothes, old rugs.
You name it, I got it.
What do you want?
My, what a big nose
you've got, grandma.
Beat it, peddler.
Who, me?
I'm a high-class merchant, man.
Here, have a cigar.
It's on the house.
Now, take a look
at this tablecloth.
It's stainless, greaseless,
and easy to clean.
Get going, man, get going.
Ah, your wife will love
serving dinner on this.
I said beat it, peddler.
Okay, okay.
You need a light?
Hmm
Hey, uh, maybe you'd like to
buy a good, cheap lighter, cheap?
For the last time, peddler,
get going.
Okay, I get the message.
You want me to get going, right?
Well, Pasha never stays
where he's not wanted.
There's other secret
laboratories around,
you know.
By the way, don't
call us. We'll call you.
We are coming close
to perfecting the
nerve-gas formula.
The master will be pleased.
I ask you again, Dr. Quest,
how did you find my laboratory,
and who else knows about it?
No one. I told you,
it was an accident.
Nonsense!
You were spying.
I warn you, doctor,
I have ways of making
my prisoners talk.
Sorry, but I won't
have time for that.
Why?
Because I'm leaving.
I don't know how
you got here, Race,
but how do you
expect to get out?
We start off
with the overland route, doctor.
[ALARM RINGING]
Sounds like trouble, doctor.
We're due for some action.
Don't let them escape!
Search every room!
There they are! Stop them!
[GUNFIRE]
End of the line, doctor.
Here's where we get off.
Are you okay, doctor?
Luckily, something
broke my fall.
Mine too.
Help yourself to a rifle.
Get them! Shoot them down!
Get them!
You try for the
door. I'll cover.
They've really got us
pinned down, Race.
Get them. Get them!
There's a good
target for us, Race.
Those vats carrying chemicals?
It could create a diversion.
Fire away.
[MEN SCREAMING]
Out of ammo, Race.
Same here, doctor. You take off.
I've got an idea.
After them, you fools.
Do not let them get away.
[SCREAMING]
Let's go, Race.
They're right behind us.
Dr. Quest, look!
Two pairs of skis, and get this:
"You owe me $89.95."
The Pasha Peddler strikes again.
[GUNS FIRING]
That's our cue
to scram. Let's go.
They're closing in.
Faster, doctor!
Let's hope Pasha has
that helicopter ready to go.
It's Dad and Race!
Jonny! Hadji!
Into the helicopter, quick.
[ENGINE SPUTTERING]
Sorry, man, but I'm
chopped out. She won't start.
You better blow!
We can't out-ski them,
doctor. They're too fast.
Let's try the sonic amplifier.
Gotcha.
Go ahead with the
boys. I'll catch up.
Here goes a scientific first.
I hope it works.
[SHRILL WARBLING]
[WARBLING INTENSIFIES]
JONNY: Dad! Dad!
Jonny!
Ski mount, Jonny!
One!
Two!
Three!
Hey, that's a neat trick.
Thank goodness it worked.
Well, that's that.
The installation is destroyed.
Race, look! It's Pasha.
PASHA: All aboard
that's got the fare!
Boy, Hadji, I'm sure glad
you're coming to stay with us.
I, too, am very glad, Jonny.
[BARKING]
So is Bandit.
Pasha, you've been
a wonderful friend.
And that Hadji is
a wonderful boy.
Tell me, Pasha, how
did you get his passport,
health certificate and
application for adoption?
It's not a question of how,
daddy-o, it's how much.
So long.
Goodbye, Pasha.
Hold it. Hey, wait! Wait!
You didn't pay me.
Hey! Wait, wait!
Oh, well, I'll send them a bill.
So long, friends.
