[SHRIEKING]
[GUNSHOTS]
Ach! I missed!
Well, we haven't missed many,
have we, Willie?
[BARKING]
[JET FLIES OVERHEAD]
Julio, hand me the binoculars.
What is it, Race?
I'm not sure, Doctor Quest.
It looks like another
leak in the oil line.
I should've checked
that relief valve
back in San Martin.
Hmm. That's bad.
There's no place to put
down in these mountains.
We'd better find a place,
the pressure's dropping.
[BARKING]
[WHINING]
Hey, Bandit sees something.
Look! It's a landing strip!
DR. QUEST: You're right,
Jonny, on top of that plateau.
A landing strip in the
heart of the Andes.
It's like a miracle.
It'll be a miracle
if I can land this thing
on that short runway.
Looks like we're about
to have company, Julio.
Unexpected
and uninvited.
Landing at this altitude
would be tough enough
even with perfect engines.
[PANTING]
Poor Bandit
I think he would like to
be safe on the ground
and so would I!
Me too!
Hold on. We're coming in.
If
I can just
keep her nose up.
Well done!
Excellent flying. Excellent!
You handled that
beautifully, Race.
Thanks, Doctor.
For a minute there
I thought we weren't
going to make it.
I was so scared I
forgot I was air sick.
So did Bandit.
[BARKING]
[WHINING]
DOCTOR QUEST: Say,
that's quite a building
for the middle of nowhere.
RACE: Take a look
at those old planes.
One looks like a Fokker D-Seven
and the other could be a Spad.
Or maybe an old Nieuport.
Hey, that's right, Jonny.
Hey, this place is gonna be fun.
Let us go greet
our visitors, Willie.
Keep the rifle handy, Julio.
I am Baron Heinrich
Von Froelich.
Welcome to Marienburg.
[GROWLING]
Marienburg, my humble
castle in the Andes.
Named after my family's
castle on the Rhine.
Thank you, sir.
I'm Doctor Quest. Benton Quest.
I gather you have motor trouble?
Yes. An oil leak, I'm afraid.
We've had trouble
with the relief valve.
My hangar workshop
is fully equipped.
You are welcome to use it,
and please accept the
hospitality of Marienburg,
such as it is.
We have few guests.
[GROWLING AND SNARLING]
It takes Bandit a little while
to get used to strangers.
Bandit and I have
something in common.
Hey, you're a
nice little fellow.
What's your name?
My dachshund?
Willie.
His father was the
great German champion,
Wilhelm of Hanover.
[GROWLS AND BARKS]
[WHISTLES]
I wouldn't expect to see
two planes like that up here.
Mementos of the past.
I fly them very little anymore.
You've kept them
in fine shape, Baron.
How else would a
man treat his memories,
Doctor Quest?
Very interesting, Doctor Quest.
I heard the Chilean Government
was installing a new type
air filter in the silver mines,
but I didn't think I
would have the honor
of a visit from the
inventor himself.
You know, uh
You were lucky to
sight my landing strip.
There isn't another
between here and La Paz.
Well, we were lucky
to get our ship down
on that short runway
considering the altitude
and your crosswinds.
Oh, you are far too
modest, Mr. Bannon.
I haven't seen flying like that
since my old squadron
was, uh, disbanded.
Your old squadron?
You mean those planes?
[BARKING]
Bandit has discovered
that big bird up there.
I think he is afraid of it.
He should be.
The mountain ledges
above this castle
are one of the last few
homes of the giant condor.
Aren't they sort
of a giant vulture?
That's right.
Sometimes they
drop in unexpectedly
to pick up one of my sheep.
Your sheep?
Of course, they
usually feed on carrion
Dead bodies
But sometimes they will
go for small live animals.
I never let Willie
out of my sight.
They are the kings
of the Andean skies.
Strong, fearless and free.
I envy them
and now, if you will
excuse me, gentlemen,
I retire early.
Julio, will, uh,
will show you your rooms.
Poor Julio
a fine and faithful servant,
but unable to speak.
Born mute.
Come, Willie!
Good night, gentlemen.
And bless Dad
And Race
And that landing strip.
Amen! Amen!
Aren't you forgetting
someone, boys?
Baron Froelich.
Oh, and that spooky
old Baron Froelich
I guess.
Amen again!
[BARKING]
[CONDOR SCREECHING]
I have a strange feeling
about this place, Jonny.
Scary, isn't it?
Ulp! [HOWLING]
What was that?
Whoo! Whoo!
Maybe one of those
hungry condors!
It sounded more
like Bubo the owl.
[CONDOR SCREECHING]
[YELPING]
Poor Bandit, he
is really scared!
He's scared?
L Look at me!
And I thought this
place was gonna be fun.
Now, let me see, the baron
where have I
heard of him before?
What do you think, Race?
About Froelich?
I think he's a weirdo.
Between his
memories, his condors,
and his old squadron,
he's got it bad.
Of course!
The condor squadron!
I knew the name Baron
Froelich sounded familiar.
Back in 1918, he was
his country's top ace
with 84 kills to his credit.
They say that
when the war ended,
he flew into a rage.
He'd wanted to raise his score
to an even hundred.
RACE: Looks like
he's never gotten over
his disappointment.
The sooner we get
out of here tomorrow,
the better.
Think we can?
I hope so.
I probably should be down
at the hangar right now
working on that relief valve.
Well, that's that, Willie.
No one will leave here
until I have played
my little game.
[CHUCKLING]
[SQUAWKING]
[SCREECHING]
[WHINING]
[SNIFFING]
[CONDOR SCREECHING]
[CONDOR SCREECHING]
[BARKING]
[BARKING]
[YELPING]
Bandit!
What are you doing
out here, Bandit?
You could've been grabbed
by one of those old condors!
Like the baron said!
[GRUMBLING]
[GUNSHOT]
Hey, that sounded like a gun!
[GUNSHOTS]
Boy, even in the daytime,
this is a scary old place.
An aim like that
must be a little rough
on your feathered friends.
Only the cardboard
ones, Doctor Quest.
It is not this easy
when the target is
alive and moving.
I am lucky to get
an occasional tail feather.
Well, that shouldn't
be too hard to do!
Ah Mr. Bannon,
would you care to try your luck?
Thanks, Baron.
How about that
loose tail feather?
Good shot, Mr. Bannon!
You would make
a worthy opponent!
Baron
I just came from the hangar.
Someone seems to have
tinkered with our plane
during the night.
Really?
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Julio, probably.
Always trying to help.
I will have a talk with him.
Well, talk won't
replace that relief valve.
I'll have to get to La Paz
for a new one.
Would you care to borrow
my Spad, Mr. Bannon?
Is there no other
way off this plateau?
None.
The only trail has been
wiped out by a landslide.
Well, in that case, Baron,
I'll accept your offer.
Excellent.
You will find the
necessary equipment
in my study.
Thanks. I'll get my gear.
In this old flying outfit, I
look like a late late movie.
With all these relics,
it looks like the baron
came out of one.
I wonder what's on his mind?
He might have given us a hint
when he said I'd make
a worthy opponent.
[KNOCKING]
Please, gentlemen!
I must must warn you!
Julio! I thought
Oh, I can talk, gentlemen,
when there is something
that has to be said.
What's wrong, Julio?
Mr. Bannon is dealing
with the devil himself.
If he flies that
plane, take care!
Well! What was that all about?
I don't know.
The old fellow's
upset about something.
Bandit?
A little exercise'll
help you dry off.
Here, boy! Fetch the stick!
Go on, fetch, boy!
Fetch the stick!
[BARKING]
Speak to me, Julio!
What did you tell them?
What did you tell them?
[GROWLING]
I know you can talk.
I heard you!
And what have you
done with Willie?
What have you done with Willie?
[SLAPPING]
All right,
so you won't answer me.
As soon as my little game
with Mr. Bannon is finished,
I will be back
to take care of you
once and for all!
[DOOR OPENS]
Come on!
The old baron just left!
[SNARLING]
We'll untie you, Julio!
Don't worry about me,
open that cupboard.
[WHINING]
Just open that cupboard.
Willie's in it!
[PANTING]
[CAR ENGINE RUMBLES PAST]
There goes Dad and
Race with the baron!
The baron intends
to kill Mr. Bannon
once he is in the air.
Kill Race! How?
In one last dogfight.
Mr. Bannon will fly the Spad,
the baron, the D-Seven!
[BARKING]
But he may not
succeed without Willie,
his good luck charm.
That is why I hid
him in the cupboard.
Come on! We'd
better try to stop them!
Ah, there you are, Mr. Bannon.
The Spad is warmed
up and ready to go.
My other plane, too.
Your other plane?
It is a difficult flight
out of here to La Paz.
I thought I would lead the way.
I know the mountain passes.
Thanks, Baron, but
that isn't necessary.
But I insist,
Mr. Bannon, I insist.
Come on, Julio, step on it!
[ENGINE RUMBLES]
So long, Race, and good luck!
Thanks, Benton!
Oh, Doctor Quest,
if you watch from the
edge of the plateau,
you may have an
interesting view of your flight!
Thanks,
and good luck to you!
Yes, I may need a little
of that today without Willie.
Hurry, Julio, hurry!
Dad! Dad!
The baron's going
to shoot Race down
in an aerial dog fight!
An aerial dog fight!
So that's it!
But with Race, the baron
may have his hands full!
Possibly.
Except the baron's
guns are loaded.
Mr. Bannon's are not!
[GUNFIRE]
Hey! What is this?
You crazy, or
All right, Baron,
you're asking for it!
I'll check my guns.
[CLICKING]
Empty!
Dad, what can we do?
Pray, Jonny, just pray.
[ENGINE SPUTTERING]
Switch tanks!
Where's that selector switch?
Careful, Race. Careful!
Come on, Race!
Well, here we go again!
Don't look now.
You're being followed!
[SAWING]
[SCREECHING]
[CRASHING AND THUDDING]
[ENGINE SPUTTERING]
Thanks again for
all the help, Julio.
Sure you won't change your mind
and come with us?
Thank you, no, Doctor Quest.
This is our home,
mine and Willie's.
We wouldn't be
happy anywhere else.
Adios, Doctor Quest.
Adios, Julio!
[JET TAKES OFF]
An amazing story, Race.
Your being saved
by a giant condor.
Look, there's one now!
It's sure good that
condor was on our side!
Yes, it is.
Thanks for all the help!
Amen!
