Supercar (1961–1962): Season 2, Episode 2 - Precious Cargo - full transcript

Dr Beiker decides to order a case of wine from France to try and add something to his poor cooking skills. When the crate arrives it contains something far more valuable than wine.

as fast as can be ?

through the air ?

under the sea ?

roams the skies ?

[upbeat music]

- Gee, that sure was good,
Aunt Heidi.

I can hardly move.

- Yes Heidi, I agree with Jimy.

You are almost as good
a cook as I am.

That chicken was
most wonderful.

- Thank you, boys.

You know, I always say a
little wine in cooking.

It makes all the difference.

You mean the chicken was
cooked in wine?



Yes, Jimmy.

I ordered it straight fro
the vineyards of France.

You know, mail order.

- Mail order.

Oh, I must get the address.

I'll order some as soon as I
get back to the laboratory.

It has the best flavor
I've ever tasted.

- Good.

Well Jimmy, have you
enjoyed your visit?

You bet.

Have we really got
to go now, Professor?

I'm afraid so, Jimmy.

Mike will be here any
minute in Supercar.

In any case, I hate to think

what old Beaker will get
up to left on his own.

[grunting]

- I certainly will be glad

when old Popkiss
comes back, Mitch.

We'll have something
decent to eat.

I'm getting rather tired
of these fryups.

I must clean up this cooker

before old Popkiss gets back.

It's his pride and joy,
you know, Mitch.

And your job after
we've eaten

will be to wash all the dishes.

You know, you havven't done
them for a week, you rascal.

Ah, almost ready, Mitch.

Five,

four, three

two,

one,

zero.

[buzzing]

Ah, satisfactory.

Most satisfactory.

[beeping]

[shrieks]

[grunts]

All right Mitch, I know.

You're hungry.

But you really must learn to
have better table manners.

[intense music]

Oh, well.

Now who's a fool?

Mitch.

Mitch.

Wherever you are, come out.

We've got to clean up and
try to repair the damage,

before the Professor comes back.

[grunts and shrieks]

[upbeat music]

How much longer, Mike?

Just another few minutes,
Professor.

- Good, Mike.

I have an important
letter to write.

- Supercar to Beaker,
Supercar to Beaker.

Approaching Black Rock
from the northeast.

We'll be with you in
approximately one minute from

Open route doors, please.

- He's not answering, Mike.

You think there's
anything wrong?

- Well, we'll soon find out.

Anyway, if the doors
aren't open when we arrive,

we'll havve to open the by
remote control from Supercar.

- Oh dear, this confounded thing

is almost as
complicated as Supercar.

No wonder it took the
Professor six months to make.

I only hope we can fix it before

old Popkiss gets back.

We'll never hear the end
of it otherwise.

Mitch!

They're back.

Oh well, I suppose
there's nothing for it

but to confess what has
happened and face the music.

Maybe he'll go
straight to bed, Mitch.

And I can work all night
to straighten things out.

- Mitch.

[shrieks and grunts]

Gee Mitch, it's good to see you.

I sure have missed you.

[grunts]

- Welcome home, Professor.

I trust you had a good visit.

- Yes, Beaker, I have.

And I've brought back some
wonderful new recipes to try out.

And now I'll go to the kitchen

and make some coffee for us all.

- Oh but my dear chap,

you must be very tired
after your journey.

I've been doing the
cooking all the week.

I'll make the coffee and you
can take over in the morning.

- Well.

Perhaps you're right, Beaker.

I think I'll go to my room.

I have an important
letter to write.

[sighs]

- That was close.

Now for some fast work.

[soft music]

- Dear Monsieur Laval,

please send me a large crate
of your best cooking wines.

I enclose a check to cover cost.

Please send it care of
Mike Mercury,

Black Rock, Little Toy,
Nevada, USA.

Good.

Now, I will mail that
first thing in the morning.

[soft music]

[snoring]

[soft music]

[clanging]

- Mitch!

Be quiet.

[soft music]

[snoring]

- Morning, Professor.

Mike and me are going into town.

Shall I mail your
letter for you?

- Thank you, Jimmy, yes.

But make sure you put
the correct postage on.

It's going all the
way to France.

- France?

Monsieur Laval.
Who's that?

- Oh no, no, no.
Monsieur Laval.

He is a French gentleman

who makes the best wines
I've ever tasted.

- Monsieur Laval.

- Monsieur Laval,
Monsieur Laval.

Monsieur Laval.

Monsieur Laval.

Ah, Monsieur Laval.

There is a letter all
the way from America.

And it is from the
Supercar Laboratory.

- Give me that.

How many times do I
have to tell you?

You stupid imbecile.

Not to stand at that trap door.

The wood is rotten and you coul
fall through into the well.

- I am very sorry, Monsieur.

- Ah, don't worry.

I am not concerned about you.

It's just, if you
weren't here,

who would do my work?

- Yes, Monsieur.

- Now, get done
with your work.

Supper was five minutes
late last night.

If that occur again,

you are due for
another beating.

- Yes, Monsieur.

[soft music]

Mon dieu.

12 o'clock and there is
so much to do.

[soft music]

- It is getting cold.

You'd better light the fires.

- But we have
no wood, Monsieu.

- Well then get some.

- Yes, Monsieur.

[soft music]

Ooh la la, five o'clock.

I have only one hour to
finish all my work

and prepare Monsieur
Laval supper.

Ooh la la.

It is delicious.

I'm sure Monsieur Laval
will enjoy it,

and it looks as if I
will be ready on time.

[soft music]

There, Monsieur.

I have your supper on time

and I hope it is to your liking.

[yells]

- Potato soup again?

Why must we always
have potato soup?

- But Monsieur, there is
nothing else in the house,

and you give me no
money to buy food.

- Ah, excuses, excuses.

Always excuses.

I can see I'll have to send
you back to the orphanage.

Now, go to your room.

And make sure you are
not late in the morning.

- And so, Supercar crashed
into the water.

And the large octopus
caught hold of Supercar

and dragged it towards its cave

But Jimmy Gibson thought
of a wonderful idea.

He produced an
electric shockwave.

which paralyzed the octopus.

[soft music]

Jimmy, please help me.

- [Operator] Number, please.

- Operator, I want the Supercar
workshop in Nevada. USA.

- [Operator] Just a moment,
I'll put you through.

- Supercar Rescue at
your service.

- Jimmy Gibson?
- Yes. ma'am.

- Oh, it's so wonderful
to hear your voice.

Please. please can you
come and rescue me?

And take me away from my
wicked guardian?

- Name and address, please.

- I am Sissy, and I live in
the village of St. George.

- Roger, be with you in an hour.

- Oh, thank you.

And please hurry.

I'll wait in my room for him.

I do hope Monsieur Laval
doesn't wake up.

[snoring]

[roaring]

- Fire two.

[roaring]

- Opening roof doors.

- Give me full boost vertical,
Mike.

- Roger.
Full boost vertical.

Good luck, Jim.

[roaring]

- I am so afraid Monsieur
Laval will wake up.

Or something will happen

so that Jimmy Gibson
cannot rescue me.

- Supercar to base,
Supercar to base.

Switching to video plan to
check position.

Three, four, A, cross
reference two zero.

I should be over the rescue
area in two minutes, Mike.

- Okay Jim, be careful though.

Laval is a dangerous character.

- Roger, Mike.

Approaching farmhouse now.

Changing to vertical.

[roaring]

That must be the Supercar now.

I do hope the noise doesn't
wake Monsieur Laval.

[grumbling]

[roaring]

Jimmy Gibson, I am here.

- Come down to the Supercar,
Sissy.

and I'll fly you away.

- Meet me in the wine cellar.

There is a crate of wine
for Professor Popkiss.

We can take it with us.

- Okay. I'll see you down there.

[banging]

[groans]

- Oh, that stupid girl
has left that window open.

I must go in and shut it.

- This is the wine for
your professor, Jimmy.

- Gee, it's kind of large.
isn't it?

We can't shift it by ourselves.

We'd better open it and
take what we can.

- All right Jimmy, I'll
fetch our mail.

[banging]

[yells]

Here it is, Jimmy.

- Hush, I can hear
someone coming.

- It must be Monsieur Laval.

Quick, let's hide.

[dramatic music]

He's seen us.

[dramatic music]

Please, Monsieur Laval,
don't hurt us.

[screams]

- Let's get out of here.

- [Monsieur Laval] Help,
get me out of here.

Sissy, come back.

- Jimmy, stop.

And we better go back
and help Monsieur Laval.

- Don't worry about him, Sissy.

He'll get out okay.

Come on, let's go.

- Sissy!

Sissy, come back.

Do as I tell you.

Come back!

[roaring]

- Full boost vertical.

[roaring]

- Oh thank you, Jimmy,
for rescuing me.

This Supercar is wonderful.

- It sure is.

But you ain't seen nothing yet.

- Jimmy, I've fallen out.

Everything's going round.

Please help me.

Help me.

Help!

- Wake up.

Wake up, you little fool.

How do you suppose
I am to sleep

when you are making
so much noise?

- Monsieur Laval.

You've climbed out of the well.

- Huh, well?

What are you talking about?

You must be crazy.

You've been dreaming.

- Dreaming.

Then it was only a dream.

But it seemed so real.

- Ah, it must have
been a bad dream

from the noise you are making.
Go to sleep.

There's a lot to be
done tomorrow.

- No, Monsieur Laval.

It was not a bad dream.

It was the most wonderful
dream I have ever had.

[soft music]

- Sissy.

- [Sissy] Yes, Monsieur.

- Have you washed the
breakfast dishes?

- Yes, Monsieur.
- Oh, good.

This crate of wine is
for the Professor

at Mike Mercury's
laboratory in America.

- The Supercar Laboratory?

- Yes, see that it is labeled
and ready for shipment.

Monsieur Henri will be
here to collect it tonight.

I shall not be here.

Tonight?

- To Professor Popkiss.

Supercar Laboratory.

Black Rock, Nevada, USA.

Professor.

Professor Popkiss.

- [Professor Popkiss] I'm
with Dr. Beaker, Jimmy.

- Okay, Professor.

Professor, a large crate has
just arrived from France.

I guess it's the
wine you ordered.

- Oh thank you, Jimmy.

I'll come out right
away and we'll open it.

- Now look here, Professor.

First thing's first.

With all due respect,
I do think Supercar's

guiding system is more
important than your wine.

- Don't worry, Professor.

I'll open it for you.

- Thank you, Jimmy, but
I'd like to open it myself.

I suppose I'm still a
child at heart, eh Beaker?

- [Sissy] Is anyone there?

Please let me out.

[shrieking and grunting]

- What's wrong, Mitch?

What are you scared of?

It's just a crate of wine.

[shrieking]

I just don't get it.

What's Mitch scared of?

[knocking]

- [Sissy] Please,whoever
you are, please let me out.

- Am I hearing things?

- [Sissy] Please,
please let me out.

- Professor, the box.

It's talking.

- Now, there's nothing
to be afraid of.

It's probably a practical joke.

Somebody has most likely put
a tape recorder in there.

- Well there's only one way
to find out, Dr. Beaker.

Open it.

- Precisely, my dear fellow.

That is just what I
intend to do.

[dramatic music]

- It's a little girl.

- Enchante, Monsieur.

- Why, it's little
French girl.

- Yeah, pretty cute too.

- How did you get here?

- And so you see, when
Monsieur Laval

told me the crate of wine
was leaving that night,

I saw my chance of escape.

And before I knew it,
I was on the plane.

And within two days,
I had arrived.

And en voila, here I am.

[clears throat]

- Well gentlemen, I think
this calls for a conference.

- Well, one thing's for sure.

She can't stay here.

- But surely you're
not suggesting

we send her back to France.

Nobody's suggesting anything.

[soft music]

- What do you think will
happen to me, Jimmy?

- I don't know, Sissy.

They sure have been
talking a long time.

You don't think, you don't think
they'll send me back, do you?

- I sure hope not.

Say, look.

The Professor's using
the telephone.

I wonder who he's talking to.

- All right.

Ah.

Yes, that couldn't be better.

Fine.

You'll collect her in
the morning.

Yes, we will fly you over.

[roaring]

- Fire two.

[roaring]

- Does she have to go,
Dr. Beaker?

- I'm afraid so, Jimmy.

This is hardly the
place for a little girl.

- Yeah, but you heard the
way her guardian treats her.

We can't send her back to that.

- But who said anything
about sending her

back to her guardian?

Why, there she is.

Look, Jimmy.

- Gee, she looks terrific.

And there's Aunt Heidi with her.

I didn't know she was here.

So that's what all the
secrets is about.

- I always wanted a little
girl of my own

and now, my wish
has come true.

- I'm so happy, Madame.

I can't believe it's all true.

- I get it, Dr. Beaker.

She's gonna live with
Aunt Heidi in Chicago.

- That's right, Jimmy.

And she can visit us
here whenever she wants.

- All aboard.

Full boost vertical.
