[dramatic music]

- [Masterspy] Zarin,
this is Masterspy.

Are you receiving me?

I repeat, are you receiving me?

- Yes, Masterspy, I
can hear you perfectly.

- It was a good idea,
installing a radio,

was it not, friend Zarin?

- [Zarin] It was indeed,
Masterspy.

It saves us from shouting!

- What does it feel
like to be rich?

- [Zarin] Good, very good.

- Now, friend Zarin, what
are we going to buy today?



How about a new skyscraper?

- [Zarin] But Masterspy, we
bought two only last week.

- So we did.

Now, we've already got a yacht.

Six automobiles.

- New clothes, two new
TV sets in every room.

Masterspy, how about us
buying a ranch.

- Oh, didn't I tell you,
friend Zarin,

I bought one this morning.

Only this morning.

- Oh, well, Masterspy,
it looks as if

we have everything that
money can buy.

- Then, friend Zarin,
we will have to think

of something that
money can't buy.

- "And so, it would give
me great pleasure

"and a sense of achievement
if, in my declining years,

"I were able to fulfill
my last ambition,

"that of owning Supercar.

"For this reason, I'm
prepared to pay

"one billion dollars for it.

"Cordially yours,
Joshua T. Zarius III."

A billion dollars?

A billion dollars!

- I heard you the first time,
Professor.

Some crazy eccentric
millionaire, I guess.

Correction, billionaire.

- Yes, Mike, he must be crazy

if he thinks we'd sell
Supercar to anyone,

even for a billion dollars.

People never learn that

there are some things
that money just can't buy.

[dramatic music]

- There, Mitch.

Look at it.

Just look at it.

My new paint, my
wonderful new formula.

It will stand up to
anything, just anything.

[hooting]

I must get Mike and the
professor in to see this.

Now, Mitch, remember,
don't touch anything.

Mike, Professor!

Jimmy, come quickly!

- Be with you in a moment,
Beaker.

Just one or two more
things to do.

- Oh, very well, Professor,
but do hurry.

Jimmy?

Jimmy, Jimmy?

Jimmy?

[hooting]
- Jimmy?

[screeching]

Just let me explain first.

I have tried this
paint out on a box

which is standing on my bench,

and I want you to come in
and test it personally.

Do anything you like to it.
Burn it, or chip it.

You cannot harm it.

- All right, Dr. Beaker.
Let's see it.

- Oh, of course.

- [Mike] Well, where is it?

- [Popkiss] Is this a joke,
Beaker?

- [Jimmy] You don't suppose-

- Mitch, what have you done?

Now, Mitch, what have
you done with the box?

There's a good fellow.

Now, now, Mitch, I shan't
be annoyed with you

if you just show me where
you've hidden the box.

[hooting]

- Gee, Dr. Beaker, I don't think
Mitch is to blame for once.

He's trying to tell you
that it's not his fault.

- Well, it couldn't just
have vanished into thin air.

- I'm not being
disrespectful, Doc.,

but you do have a lot
on your mind, and, well,

well, maybe you just
imagined that you'd done it.

- I tell you, it was right here!

Ouch.

[knocking]

I wouldn't have
believed it possible.

- It's invisible!

- Boy, have you hit on
something, Doc.

- Yes, Beaker, you have
made a great discovery!

- Thank you, gentlemen.

This is a great moment.

Mitch, will you get
off that box?

- "And so we regret
that we cannot help you.

"Supercar means so much to us

"that we could not consider
selling it at any price.

"Cordially yours,
Professor Popkiss."

So, they refuse to sell,
even for a billion dollars.

- We will just have to think
of something else to buy,

Masterspy.

- As far as I am concerned,

there is nothing else to buy.

Let us hope they
value their lives

as much as they value Supercar.

[ominous music]

- Well, Professor, the
new solution has taken me

two days to make.

Now we'll see whether it
is going to work.

- Good for you, Beaker!

It works!

- Well, the problem now,
of course,

is how to apply this
new discovery.

- Don't worry, Beaker.

Like all our other inventions,

it will be put to
good use one day.

- Are we all here, gentlemen?

- All present, Masterspy.

- I am a man of few words.

- Then why don't you shut up?

- Aw, give him a chance, Jazz,
he ain't said nothing yet.

- Please, gentlemen, Masterspy
is a very important man.

- You wanna make
something out of it?

- No, no, oh no.

- I will be brief.
- Yeah, do that.

- I want Supercar, and I
am prepared to pay for it.

- Yeah?
How much?

- Half a million dollars.

- Come on, Bud, we're
wasting our time.

- One million dollars.

- Are you kidding?

- Two million dollars.

- What?

- But Masterspy, we have only-

- Yes, yes, yes, Zarin
that is enough.

All right, gentlemen.

Two million dollars.

- Okay, you got yourself a deal.

When do you want this
Supercar delivered?

- Not delivered.

Taken over.

That, and the workshop.

And just to make sure, I
shall be right beside you

to see that nothing goes wrong.

- Two million bucks.

We sure pulled a big deal, Bud.

- Yeah, the biggest yet.

- Hey, I wonder how those
guys make their dough.

- Oh, Masterspy, it's
hard work, making money.

- It's harder work
earning it, friend Zarin.

- We're going into
town today, Mike,

to get some supplies?

- I sincerely hope so.
We are almost out of food.

- Well, I'm afraid we
can't go this morning,

at least not until the
government

official has called here.
- Government official?

What's this, Mike?

- This letter says there's a
population check in progress,

and that we are all to be
present when he arrives.

- [Masterspy] We are
about five miles

from the Supercar workshop.

- [Jazz] That was a great
idea of yours, fatso,

about that population check.

We'll be sure to find
them all at the workshop.

- [Masterspy] There is the
laboratory, straight ahead of us.

- Say, Mike, that aircraft's
flying kind of low.

- I expect that's the
government official.

I better fix some more
ham and eggs.

I'm sure he'll be hungry.

- Mitch, what are you doing?

That's the government form
for the population check.

[screeching]

And you're not even counted
in this check, Mitch,

'cause you're only a monkey.

- I've been thinking.

It wasn't all that long
ago that we had

a population check in this area.

It seems a little soon for
another one, doesn't it?

- Well, Doc, you know what
the government officials are.

They have to find something
to keep them busy.

- Yes, Mike, perhaps
you're right.

[gunshots]

- [Mike] Look out!

- Down, Mitch!

- My goodness,
what's going on?

- Okay, Mike Mercury.

We're taking over this joint,
lock, stock, and barrel.

Just come out quietly,
all of you,

with your hands up.

- Dr. Beaker, get the guns.

We can hold them off while the
professor phones the police.

- Right, Mike.

- Well, friend Zarin, all
is going according to plan.

In a few moments, Bud will
have cut the telephone cable.

- Hello, hello, hello?

Hello, operator, are you there?
- [Operator] Number, please.

- Oh, Operator, this is
Blackhawk Laboratories,

Blackhawk One.

Will you please send for the-

Hello, Operator, are you there?
Hello, Operator?

- I fixed the phone, Jazz.

- Okay, now fix the antennae.

- Hello, emergency!
This is Supercar Laboratories!

Oh no, they've wrecked
our transmitter.

- Okay, Mike Mercury.

The telephone wires
have been cut.

Your radio's been wrecked,
and you're surrounded.

You might as well give up,

'cause there ain't
nothing you can do.

- Nice work, Mike.
- Listen, Beaker.

I don't know what's
going on out there,

but we've got to act fast.

They can only get into the
building from this side.

You keep 'em covered, I'm
gonna take Supercar up

and investigate.
- Right, Mike.

Send Jimmy and Mitch in here,
and I'll take care of it.

- Okay, Doc.

- What if Mike Mercury
takes off in Supercar?

We won't stand a chance.

- Friend Zarin, that is
the first intelligent thing

that you have said for years.

- Thank you, Masterspy.

- However, you blithering idiot,

you shriveled-up worm!

You can rest assured
that Mike Mercury

will not take off in Supercar.

[laughing]

[ominous music]

- Emergency, charge both!

Five, seven, nine,

11, 13, 15,000.

Interlock on both.

- Roger, interlock on
both engines.

- Roger, fire both!

I'm gonna let the engines warm up
for just a few moments, Professor.

I want Supercar to be
on top form.

- Masterspy, Supercar's engines!

What are we going to do?

- Watch.

This is Masterspy speaking.

Curse the thing!

It's no good any more.

This is Masterspy!

Tell Mike Mercury
not to fly the Supercar.

We have fixed a bomb to
the roof doors.

If you attempt to open them,

the bomb will explode.

- Masterspy!

Jimmy, quickly, stop the professor
opening the roof doors!

- [Mike] Okay, Professor,
here I go.

Open roof doors.
- Roger, Mike.

Opening roof doors.

- Professor, Professor!

Don't open the roof doors!

- The Supercar's engines,
Masterspy.

They're stopping.

- Of course.

Have you ever known a
plan of mine not to work?

- Yes, Masterspy.

- Looks like we got 'em
right behind the eight-ball.

- I know that Supercar team.

[gunshots]

Please, not while I'm talking.

As I was saying.

I know that Supercar team
only too well.

You will have to watch
them every moment.

They're always up to tricks.

Proceed.

- How are the food supplies,
Professor?

- Not very good, Mike.

You remember I told
you this morning

that they were running low.

- [Mike] Yeah, I remember.

- [Beaker] How long
can we last out?

- 24 hours at the most.

- [Mike] Well, we'll have
to ward them off

for as long as we can.

[shivering]

- It's so cold out here
in the desert at night.

- That's funny, friend Zarin.

I don't feel the cold at all.

- Hey, you reckon
they're still awake, Bud?

- Yeah, they're still awake.

[ominous music]

- Well, thanks for the meal,
Professor.

It was great.

- Well, I'm glad you
enjoyed it, Mike,

because it's the last
you're gonna get.

Apart from some of
Mitch's peanuts,

we have no food left.

- Well, Masterspy couldn't
have timed it better, could he?

- Mike, I have an idea.

- Okay, Doc, shoot.
[gunshots]

No, no, no, no, Doc, I mean go
ahead, explain your idea.

- Oh, yes.
Now who's a fool?

Well, Mike, I've been thinking
about my latest invention,

the invisible paint.

- Oh no, not at a time
like this, Doc.

- No, no, no, you
don't understand.

Now listen.

This is my plan.

- It cannot be long now.

- Good, Masterspy, good.

- Hey, if they don't
give up soon,

I'm going in there to get 'em.

I wanna see some action.

- Have Jimmy and Doc.
finished yet, Professor?

- Yes, Mike, they've
just finished.

- Okay, Professor.

Hand me the white flag.

- Masterspy!
Look!

- I never thought I'd live
to see the day.

- Hey, Jazz, look!

- A white flag!

They've surrendered!

- Okay, Masterspy, you win.

We're throwing our guns out.

We'll open the door to the
workshop and you can come in.

- We have won, friend Zarin.

We have won our very
own Supercar.

Jazz, Bud, keep us covered.

We are going in.

- Beaker, where are the others?

- I told them to stay
out of the way.

They're in my laboratory.

[ominous music]

- Good morning, Mike Mercury.

Dr. Beaker, I'm glad to
see that you have

the good sense to surrender
before anyone gets hurt.

- We are intelligent people,
Masterspy.

We know when we are beaten.

- Then you accept defeat?

- We accept defeat.
- Good.

Then now, perhaps, I can
see my Supercar.

- Most certainly.

When are you prepared
to leave for England?

- Leave for England?
What do you mean?

- Well, you see, Masterspy,
Supercar is in England,

having some electronic
equipment fitted.

- I don't believe it.

It must be here.

We heard the engines.

- Yeah?

Oh, yeah, that was a good idea,
wasn't it?

Sounds almost like
the real thing.

[engines roaring]

Sorry you had the
trip for nothing.

- Do you expect me to
fall for that?

Supercar is here somewhere,

and I intend to find it.

- Mike, I think
Masterspy is right.

Supercar must be here somewhere,

and I think we ought to
help him find it.

- You're right, Doc.

Doc, have you looked
under your bed?

- Yes, Mike, I have.
But it's not there.

Um, do you think it could
be in the control room,

under the console?

- Oh no, Dr. Beaker, I looked
under there this morning.

- Mike, have you searched
all your pockets?

- Cut the wisecracks.

It is obvious that you
could not hide a thing

as big as Supercar anywhere
else in this building

other than in this room.

Whereabouts in England is it?

- AP Electronics, Slough,
England.

Just tell them we said it's
okay for you to collect it.

- [Jazz] Well, that's
just about the easiest

two million bucks I ever
made in my life.

- I found it hard work,
making two million dollars.

Oh, my arm, it aches
from turning the handle.

- So you paid us with
phony money, huh?

- Well, yes.

But the very best phony
money that money can buy.

- Charging port engine.
- Roger, Mike.

- Say, Professor, it
looks so funny

not being able to see Supercar.

Dr. Beaker and Mike
look as if they're

sitting on fresh air.

- Port 15,000, fire one.

Charging starboard.

- I really don't know how you
can find the switches, Mike.

Not being able to see them,
I mean.

- I've done it so many
times before, Dr. Beaker,

I guess I can do it blindfolded.

I can tell by the sound
of the engines

when they're at 15,000,
which is right now. Interlock on.

- Interlock on.
- Fire two.

- Stand by for takeoff.
Opening roof doors.

- But the bomb, Professor.
- Don't worry, Jimmy.

We fixed it.

- Full boost vertical.

- Well, Jimmy, I have seen
some funny things in my time,

but nothing as funny as this.

- This, Mike, is really flying.

- Sure is, Doc.
Unrestricted vision all around,

no visible means of support.
Sure feels good.

- Professor, this is
Beaker here.

Are we on the right course?

- According to the plan,
Dr. Beaker,

you are right on course.

You should catch up with
Masterspy's aircraft

any moment now

- Roger, Professor.
Thank you and out.

Well, Mike, there they are.

Straight ahead.

- If we climb and gain a
little height,

we can dive and slice
their wing right off.

Full boost vertical.

- Soon we will arrive
at New York,

and then by plane to London.

- Then we will have
Supercar for our very own!

[laughing]

- Well done, Mike!
Perfect judgment.

- I guess we won't have any trouble
from them for a little while.

- [Zarin] Masterspy,
what is happening?

- [Masterspy] It's some
demon from the sky!

- [Jazz] Hurry with
the parachute!

- [Bud] Hey, shut up,
I'm the guy who

can't stand heights, remember?

- Supercar to base,
Supercar to base!

Bring the truck out, Professor.

Masterspy and his buddies
will be wanting

to hitch a ride, to the
nearest jail.

- [Popkiss] Roger, Mike.

- And there they go, Mike.

- What is that crazy
professor doing, Zarin?

- I don't know, Masterspy.

He appears to be spraying
something on nothing.

- Now watch carefully,
Masterspy.

You are about to see
something that

you have never seen before.

[laughing]
