[MOTOR BOAT APPROACHING]
[GROWLS]
[GROWLS]
[CRIES]
Post Number One.
Post Number One calling.
Two men in small boat
entering south channel.
We have them in view.
Sentry Number Two
calling Post Number Three.
Unauthorized craft
approaching main channel.
I hear them now.
SENTRY #3: Intruders approaching
main lagoon.
Appropriate
action will be taken.
Prepare to execute Plan A.
All is ready.
[MOTOR IDLES]
[SHUTTER CLICKS]
They are in position.
Detonate the mine.
[EXPLODING]
It is done?
It is done.
Good.
Report to Central Area.
All personnel. All personnel.
Remain in your protected areas
during testing of
total missile retraction.
After retraction,
all scaffolding must be
removed before dawn tomorrow.
[KNOCKING]
Come in.
[DOOR OPENS]
Yes?
Dr. Quest?
I'm Dr. Quest.
What can I do for you?
I am Lieutenant Sing,
Quetong Police.
Commissioner Wah, my superior,
sends most humble apologies
for this rude interruption.
And what can I do for
you, Lieutenant Sing?
It is matter of extreme urgency,
Dr. Quest.
The Commissioner begs
that you accompany
me to his office
with the utmost speed.
Oh?
What seems to be the trouble?
This lowly person cannot reveal.
Must see Commissioner Wah.
Where are we going, Race?
To the local police station.
Yes, I have to see
Commissioner Wah.
Oh.
You don't mind
Mr. Bannon and the boys
coming along, Lieutenant?
Not at all, Dr. Quest.
They are most welcome.
Follow them,
and do not lose them.
I will not lose them.
Hurry, then.
[ENGINE TURNS OVER]
WAH: In view of recent events,
we feel most fortunate
that you are here, Dr. Quest.
What do you mean, Commissioner?
Lately,
many people living in
the swamp lake area
have become sick
eating the cotong
fish from the lake,
the same fish
they have been catching
and using for food
for centuries.
Strange.
And stranger still
is fact
that no investigator
sent to the lake
has returned.
You say you've lost
four men in this area?
Yes, Dr. Quest.
We feel something sinister,
something criminal, is going on,
but we've made no progress.
We are completely baffled.
We need your help.
We'll be glad to help
in any way we can.
Thank you, Dr. Quest.
Lieutenant Sing.
Yes, Sir?
Give Dr. Quest the complete file
on our investigation to date
Yes, Sir.
And see to the removal
of Dr. Quest's baggage
from the ship. [BARKING]
Have everything
taken to the hotel.
[BARKING]
Is there anything else
you need, Dr. Quest?
Yes, Commissioner.
I'd like one of the
fish from the lake,
for analysis.
One will be sent to your hotel.
Doctor? Yes, Commissioner?
If you succeed, we will
be most humbly grateful.
That completes the report
on Dr. Quest and Race Bannon.
Will that be all, General?
They must not interfere.
Make certain of that.
They are being watched.
We have covered all areas.
Good.
Report all moves.
I hold you responsible.
So this is Quetong.
It's beautiful.
Yes.
There's something
about the Orient.
Captivating, but at
the same time sinister
like this fish.
It may hold part of the
answer to our mystery.
[KNOCKING]
I'll get it.
[DOOR OPENS]
Oh, yes, yes.
Bring it in.
Hey, it's our luggage.
It's about time.
Take your bags
into your room, boys,
and hand me my
lab kit, will you, Race?
Here you are, Sir.
Doctor,
did you get a new bag?
No. Which one?
This one.
It's not mine.
It's not mine.
I never saw it before.
Stand back, everybody!
Look out!
Quick thinking, Race.
Not a second too soon.
Wow! A bomb!
RACE: Where did you
get that bag, porter?
Speak up!
From police.
They bring to hotel.
Let him go, Race.
Whoever planted that bomb
did it before the police
picked up our luggage.
But who would
pull a stunt like that?
Whoever is responsible
for the contamination of
the swamp lake fish, I guess.
JONNY: It's okay, Bandit.
You can come out now.
[BANDIT WHIMPERING]
It wasn't anything serious.
[BARKS]
Just a little, old time bomb.
[YELPS]
Oh, boy.
What a hero you are.
Doctor, did you
say contamination?
Yes, Race.
The fish contains enough
meslanide to kill a man.
Meslanide?
Isn't that a chemical
used in missile fuels?
Right.
It's also highly toxic.
Poisonous enough
to keep any fishermen
out of the swamp lake area,
and remember,
four policemen who
went there to investigate
have failed to return.
I get it.
Someone wants to keep people
out of the swamp
lakes of Quetong.
DR. QUEST: Apparently.
I don't get it, Dad. Why?
That's what we're
going to find out.
Oh, boy. You mean
we're going out there?
[BANDIT BARKS] Not we.
Just Race and I.
You boys are staying here.
I know. Where we'll be safe.
DR. QUEST: The
portable television camera's
switched on, Race.
Fly straight and level.
We'll see what we
can pick up with it
on the view-com.
Right, Doctor.
Ah, very good.
Now to contact the boys
at the hotel.
DR. QUEST: Can
you hear me, Jonny?
Yes, Dad.
See you too.
Good.
I can see you clearly.
Is the tape camera ready?
All ready, Sir.
Shall I turn it on?
Yes, Hadji.
I'll switch over to the
portable TV camera.
Record on tape
everything we transmit.
Okay, Dad.
Over and out.
[BARKING]
What's wrong, Bandit?
Hey!
Cut it out, you big ape!
Run! Run, Jonny!
I
I can't!
[BARKING]
[JOHNNY AND HADJI STRUGGLING]
DR. QUEST: That's
enough for now, Race.
Let's swing around
and head back.
I'll tell the boys.
That's strange.
Jonny! Jonny!
Hadji!
What's wrong, Doctor?
They're gone.
Gone?
Yes. Come on.
Let's get back there and fast.
Jonny! Jonny!
Look!
The tape camera.
We'd better check it.
Doctor, the tape playback
is plugged into the view-com.
Good.
Let's have a look at it.
That looks familiar.
Yes.
Aha! Look!
It's Jonny and Hadji and Bandit.
Hey, that's Lieutenant Sing.
Lieutenant Sing?
Turn it off.
So
Sing is an enemy.
And he's got the boys.
We've got to hurry.
He doesn't know we saw the tape.
We'll trick him
into leading us to the boys.
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
Quetong Police.
Lieutenant Sing.
Oh!
Hello, Dr. Quest.
Why, no, Doctor.
I have not seen the boys
since we left the
Commissioner's office
this morning.
Perhaps they went out for lunch.
Boys get very hungry,
you know.
We have evidence that shows
they left the hotel with you.
Stay where you are, Sing.
We're coming to see you.
I have a feeling
Sing will be out any second.
Here he comes.
Now he's in his car.
Let's go.
We don't want to lose him.
There he goes.
[BRAKES SCREECH]
[TIRES SQUEAL]
I see him.
Boy, he's moving.
He's seen us.
Yes, and he's panicked.
He's taking us right out
the swamp lake road.
Okay, since he's
seen us, let's get him.
Race! Look out!
Whew. That was close.
Where's Sing?
I'm afraid we've lost him.
There he goes.
I see him.
Better take her up, Race.
Sing's having
trouble slowing down.
[BRAKES SCREECHING]
[CRASHING]
It's no use, Race. Stand back.
We can't get near that fire.
[SING MOANS]
It's Sing.
He was thrown clear.
[MOANING]
DR. QUEST: Get my bag, quickly.
He's coming to, Doctor.
Sing!
Where are the boys?
Am I
dying?
I don't know.
We're radioed Commissioner Wah.
He's sending an ambulance.
Where are the boys?
Boys?
Speak up, Sing.
Where are the boys?
Is he dead?
No, not yet.
You'd better get
him to the hospital.
It would be best
if he were to die.
If he lives, he will
be shot as a traitor.
Driver!
Bring the stretcher!
Commissioner,
we have Sing's full story.
I think we can put an end
to the mystery of swamp lake
tonight.
What do you think, Doctor?
Sing was pretty incoherent
with his babbling
about blockhouses
and plans to set up
secret missile bases.
I know, Race.
It's not much to go on,
but we've got to find the boys.
I wonder what Sing meant
when he said, "The
trees have eyes"?
Shh.
That may be your
answer, up ahead.
A sentry post.
The trees do have "eyes."
Now Sing's talk
is beginning to make sense.
Yes.
I think I can get him from here.
You got him.
Yes.
With that anestha-dart
in his arm,
he'll be out for quite a while.
Come on. Let's go.
That's two more down.
That stuff works fast.
Shh.
[SPLASHES]
Post Number Six
calling Post Number Five.
Answer.
Is anything wrong? Over.
Post Five,
come in.
Come in. Over.
[CHINESE ACCENT]
Uh, Post Five here.
Everything under control.
You know the rules.
Strict silence must
be maintained.
Out.
Over there.
Two of them.
Take the gun.
I see them.
Good.
You got them both.
Look, Race.
There's the blockhouse.
Think you can get him from here?
I don't know.
I'll switch to full power.
[DART FIRES]
I'm afraid he's
out of range, Race.
Yeah.
I guess we'll have
to take care of him
the hard way.
Careful, Race.
Right, Doctor.
I must have hit him.
He's been asleep all this time.
Here,
how about trying
this on for size?
Good idea, Race.
It might get us inside.
[KNOCKING]
[THUMP]
Good work, Race.
Come on. Let's get inside.
That gas will
keep them sleeping long enough
for us to find the boys.
Doctor
this looks like the intake
for their air
conditioning system.
Very good, Race.
Put your gas mask on.
We'll put the
whole place to sleep
at one time.
How about the boys?
The gas is harmless.
Just makes them sleep.
[CLATTERING]
[EXPLODING]
Now, we'd better
split up and find them.
Thank heaven the boys are safe.
They'll wake up as soon
as I get them outside.
Not so fast, Dr. Quest.
General Fong?
The same,
but I too have a
gas mask, Doctor,
and I will thank
you to remove yours
and join our young dreamers.
Hurry.
My finger grows impatient.
All right, Fong. Drop the gun.
Now remove your mask,
and hurry up.
It won't hurt a bit.
Get the boys and Bandit
out into the fresh air, Race.
I'm going to have a
look at that missile.
We're on our way, Doctor.
Let's see, now.
Silo elevator.
[MACHINERY POWERS UP]
Oh, boy.
Where am I?
Steady, Jonny.
Race, what happened?
We had to put the whole place
to sleep,
including you three.
[BANDIT WHIMPERING]
[YAWNS]
Bandit's okay.
And I think I am.
[RUMBLING]
What's that noise?
Your Dad's
in the missile control room.
Is he going to
shoot it into space?
No, I don't think so.
Watch.
[ALARM SOUNDING]
Wow.
What a monster.
DR. QUEST: Let's go, boys.
General Fong and his gang
will be waking up any minute.
[GROANS]
Huh?
What?
Attention all personnel.
Intruders are escaping.
Intruders are escaping.
They must be intercepted.
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Post Number Four.
We hear you.
Strangers are leaving
main lagoon now.
Will alert other posts.
Post Four calling
Post Number Five.
Come in, Post Five.
Come in, Post Five.
Come in, Five. Over.
Post Five here.
Intruders are escaping.
They must be stopped.
They must be stopped.
I am ready.
[GUNFIRE]
Keep down, everyone.
How about a little
more speed, Race?
Sorry, Doctor.
This electric job's
built for silence,
not speed.
Never mind your rifles.
Kill them all.
Blow them up.
Use the mines.
The mines!
They must not get away!
The intruders are approaching.
Now!
Wow. That was close.
Fools! Fools!
Can't you stop them?
If they escape, all my
plans will be ruined.
FONG: Calling Post Number One.
Be ready to detonate your mine.
Too late.
The strangers' boat
has already passed by.
FONG: You let them escape!
It's all your fault.
You will pay for
your carelessness!
Agh!
Wow!
What was that?
That was the end
of General Fong.
[BANDIT BARKS]
Look. Someone's coming.
It's Commissioner Wah,
with a boatload of police.
Too bad they missed the party.
Yeah, but so did we.
We slept through all the action.
[BANDIT BARKS]
Now what do
you call that outfit?
Bandit's all prepared
for the next time.
He doesn't want
to miss out on the action
either.
[BARKS]
