- Dr. Beaker.

Dr. Beaker.

Hurry.

- My dear professor,
what's wrong?

- Pain.

I'm in pain in my right side,
Dr. Beaker.



Sharp, stabbing pains in
my right side.

- My dear chap, you obviously
have a very high temperature,

and you say that you have
pains in your right side?

It could be appendicitis,

we must get you to
hospital at once.

[sirens sounding]

Ah, there Mike, he's
sleeping peacefully now.

- Nevertheless the sooner we get
him to the hospital the better.

I still think we should
have taken him in Supercar.

- No, Mike, an
ambulance is better,

he must lie flat.
- Perhaps you're right, Doc.

You recognized
it's a appendicitis?

- Really it has all
the symptoms.

- How serious Doc.?

- Well, provided he gets
immediate attention,

not serious at all, but
if it were neglected...

- Well, we must be almost there,
Doc.

[dramatic music]

- Although you're not a Doctor
of medicine, Dr. Beaker,

you were quite right in
your diagnosis.

Acute appendicitis, but
there's no danger,

I'll operate in the morning,
he'll be just great.

- I sure am relieve
to hear that.

- [Dr. Maslin] And now,
we must let him sleep.

Let us continue our
discussion in my office.

[dramatic music]

- Well I think we've taken up

quite enough of your time,
Doctor,

I think we should leave.

Many thanks for your help.

- Why not at all, Doctor,

you've helped us many
times in the past

on research work, now
it's our turn to help you.

- You say we should ring
you about midday tomorrow

to see how the professor is.

- That's right, Mike

- Dr. Mesley, whilst I am here,

I wonder if I could ask
you a great favor,

I am replacing one or two
components in Supercar,

and would like to x-ray
them to check

that there are no faults.

- Why certainly, Dr. Beaker.

Why don't you take this
x-ray plant with you,

it's an entirely new type,

and I'd be interested to have
your report on it anyway.

- Oh, that's most kind of
you, Doctor, most kind.

- Gee, Dr. Beaker, do
you mean the hospital

let you borrow this?
- Yes, that's right Jimmy.

- How does it work?
- Well, I'll show you.

Just walk around the back,
Jimmy,

and stand behind the screen.

- This I must see.
- Now keep still Jimmy.

Now, I switch on.

Right.

You can come out now, Jimmy.

You see how it works?

- But Dr. Beaker, I
didn't see a thing.

- Well Jimmy, it wasn't
intended for you to see.

- [laughing] Oh yes.

Of course, how stupid of me.

I'll stand behind the screen,

and then you can watch.

- I don't know who's the
most intrigued

by this x-ray machine,
you Jimmy, or Dr. Beaker.

- Right, now I'm
standing quite still.

Now push the button, Jimmy.

- Okay, Dr. Beaker.

Gee, Doc, doesn't look
a bit like you.

- Say Doc...

You've got me worried.

Do you realize that
you've got one more bone

than anyone else in your chest.

- That's right Dr. Beaker.
Right here.

- Oh Jimmy!
Switch off!

Oh, this is most worrying.

If what you say is true,
then I'm a freak.

- No, I don't think you're
a freak, Dr. Beaker,

just take a look in
your top pocket.

[Dr. Beaker laughs]

- Oh, of course.

It was my pipe in my
top pock et...

[telephone ringing]

showing up on the x-ray.

Excuse me.

- Gee, I didn't think it was
that funny, Mike, did you?

- Hey hold it, Jimmy,
it sounds like trouble.

- Oh, oh dear, dear.

Of course Doctor, yes
I'm glad you telephoned,

of course, we'll be right over,
good bye.

- Dr. Beaker, what's wrong?

Is something happened
to Professor Popkiss?

- No Jimmy, but his condition
was a little more serious

than we had first thought.

He's quite alright Jimmy,

but he is rather ill at
the moment I'm afraid.

We must go to the
hospital at once.

[tense music]

- How are you feeling Professor?

- Not too bad, Jimmy.

A little weak perhaps, but...

But then that is to be expected
after having an operation.

How's Mike, and Dr. Beaker?

- Great, Professor.

They're with Dr. Maslin now.

So, you see gentlemen,
unless we can give

Professor Popkiss a blood
transfusion within 12 hours,

it could be very serious.

- You speak Doctor as
though there's a problem.

- Dr. Beaker, that is, the
Professor belongs to a

very rare blood group,

and the only person I know of
who belongs to the same group

is Professor Kosinski.
- We have Supercar,

just tell us where he is,

and we can get him here in
no time at all.

- I'm afraid it's not
as simple as that Mike,

Professor Kosinski is
an experimental mission

20 miles from the North Pole.

- The North Pole, still not
really a problem, Dr. Maslin,

not in Supercar.

- I'm not so sure, Dr. Beaker.

Before you arrived, I
had telephoned

the United States Air
Force to see if they could

fly the plasma here for us.

They reported that the weather
conditions in that area

was such that it would be
impossible to reach them.

- Guess, they hadn't
reckoned with Supercar.

- You mean you're gonna
try and get trough, Mike?

- That's right.
- Then I'll come with you.

- Only another hundred
gallons, Dr. Beaker,

and she's fully fueled.

- Well good Jimmy, I'm glad
to say the heating system,

and de-icing system are
both working well.

They'll be needed where
Mike's going.

- How cold is it at the
North Pole, Dr. Beaker?

- Oh, so cold Jimmy, that
the snow and ice never melt,

and the temperature is
sometimes 70 degrees below zero.

- Now, Professor
Kosinski's base is here.

- [Mike] Let me see, yeah.

That's about 4000 miles.

What sort of set up has
he got out there Doctor?

- It's a wooden hut, specially
insulated against the cold,

and heated by electricity from
a small oil driven generator.

It was flown out in sections
by the US Air Force.

- His work must be pretty
important, what's he doing there?

- Well, that I can't
answer Mike,

and as you say it must
be pretty important.

It's obviously Top Secret.

- Just think, thousands of
square miles of nothing but snow.

And right in the center,
a small hut with two men.

[tense music]

- At position,

A three four

two stroke 36.

Successful contact was
established with what we believe

to be mineral deposits

of uranium.

Depth estimated

at 1000 meters.

Signed Carl Kosinski.

Well Jason, we've made it.

- I must say I never thought
it would really happen,

but your theory has
proved to be correct.

- I feel that I want to
report news back.

- We cannot do that, the
information is too vital to risk.

- Of course Jason, I
wasn't intending to do so,

but it seems hard to have
to wait another three months

for the relief team to
arrive before we can report

our sensational discovery.

- But we can use those three
months to check the facts,

and be absolutely sure.

[dramatic music]

- Charging port.

2000.

4000.

6000.

- I feel I'm very
fortunate Mike,

to be able to fly in
Supercar with you,

I only wish the circumstances
were a little happier.

- Yeah, so do I doctor.

12000.

14000.

15000, interlock on.

- Interlock operation, fire on.

- Roger, fire one.

Launching starboard.

- How long do you think it'll
take us to get there Mike.

- Little over three
hours if all goes well.

15000, interlock on.

- Can I do it, Dr. Beaker.
- Of course Jimmy.

- Interlock on, fire two.

- Yes sir Mr. Gibson,
fire two.

- Dr. Beaker, don't forget
to open the roof doors.

- Of course, roof doors opening.

- Full boost vertical.

Now you're not going to
get away with it,

not this time, monkey I
saw you, now come on out.

[monkey screeches]

I said out.

- Come here Mitch, if you
don't behave yourself,

you won't get any peanuts today.

- Once again, full
boost vertical.

Supercar to base, and
climbing to 50000 feet

for maximum fuel economy over.

- Roger, Mike, call me
when at 50000 feet.

- Roger, will do.

Supercar to base,
Supercar to base.

Leveling off at 50000 feet.

Setting course 000.

- Roger Mike, call again
when you have made contact

with Professor
Kosinski by radio.

- Roger Dr. Beaker,
listening out.

We have a long way
to go, Dr. Maslin.

For the sake of fuel economy,

we will cruise at 2500
miles per hour.

- 2500 miles per hour, and
you call that cruising?

No wonder you call it Supercar.

[triumphant music]

- Supercar is bang on course,
all appears to be well.

- Do you think they'll run
into bad weather, Dr. Beaker?

- No, not for some time yet,
Jimmy.

Mike will probably call us
in about an hour from now.

- Dr. Beaker, can I make
some coffee while waiting.

- An excellent idea, Jimmy.

- When we get there Doctor, do
you intend to bring Kosinski

back with us?
- No Mike,

that won't be necessary, I
just need a little time to

take the transfusion,
and then we can leave.

- That's funny, it's locked.

I guess Dr. Beaker has
been locking up again,

he must have the key.

- [singing] Supercar, Supercar,

it travels on land, and
under the sky,

and through the heavens.

something or other, I can
never remember those words.

- Dr. Beaker, can I have the
key to the kitchen door please,

It's locked.
- Locked?

Now who the hell would
have done that.

- Why you, Dr. Beaker, you know

you're always locking
up everywhere.

- Well, I like to think of
myself as a responsible person,

but I can assure you
that I have not

locked the kitchen door,
nor have I the key.

- [Mike] Supercar to
base, Supercar to base.

1000 miles from North Pole,

I'm going to make radio contact
with Professor Kosinski.

- Roger Mike.

- Calling Professor Kosinski,

calling Professor Kosinski
at base two four North Pole,

base two four North Pole,
do you hear me over.

- [Professor Kosinski] Hello,
hello, this is Base 24,

Professor Kosinski speaking.

Who is it calling?

- Professor Kosinski, this
is Mike Mercury in Supercar,

repeat this is Mike
Mercury and Supercar,

we are approaching your base,

and will be with you in
approximately 20 minutes,

we require you to give a
blood transfusion

for a man of your
group in America.

He is a member of the
Supercar team, over.

- Your message received
and understood,

but there is a heavy
blizzard here,

temperature 70 below, it
would be madness

to attempt flying at this
time, even in Supercar.

- Kosinski, this is Supercar,

I understand that flying
conditions in your area

are impossible, repeat we'll
be arriving in 20 minutes, out.

- Jason, it will be
wonderful to see someone,

and of course I'm only too
delighted to help a sick man,

particularly one of the
Supercar team,

but I think it's madness
to attempt this journey.

I must try to stop them.

- No Carl, don't try and
stop them, it's too perfect.

- I don't know what you're
talking about Jason,

it would be suicide.

[ominous music]

- If you try and stop them,
Carl,

it will be your suicide,
not theirs,

and from what I've heard of
super car, they'll make it.

- Jason, have you gone
mad, put that gun away.

No I'm not mad,
Carl, I'm just putting

my plan into operation
a little soon.

thanks to Supercar.
- I see.

You must be an enemy agent.

- No Carl, I work for
no particular country,

I'm just out for myself.

I'll sell the information
about the uranium to the pod

that pays me the most,
it might even be the

United States government
if they pay enough.

- You won't get away
with this Jason.

- Hello Supercar.

- Say I thought I heard
Kosinski's voice then.

- It was Mike, but it went
dead while he was talking.

[serious music]

[Serious music]

- Yeah that's it Dr. Beaker.

I made contact with
Kosinski, and then in the

middle of the transmission,
there was a bang,

and everything stopped,
I haven't been able

to contact him since.

- Yes, it sounds very much as
if his radio has broken down,

however you don't need any further
contact with him, do you Mike?

- No doc, he knows I'm coming.

Just hope we can make it
in this blizzard,

it's getting worse
by the minute.

[tense music]

We're nearly there Dr. Maslin,

I've reduce height to
a 1000 feet.

- I understand enough
about navigation to know

that you're able to find
your way to a given spot,

but how are you going to
find a tiny hut

in a blinding snowstorm.

- We have a television
aid, called Clearview.

There, you see, now we
can scout around,

and find the hut, how long
will it take you, Doc,

once we've landed.

- Not long, an half
an hour maybe.

- Good, we can't afford
to hang around too long

at 70 degrees below zero,
even Supercar wouldn't be able

to take that
temperature for long.

- Mike, look.
- Yeah, there she is.

Supercar to base,
Supercar to base.

I've located hut with Clearview,

and preparing for a landing.

- Base to Supercar, good
Mike, make a vertical descent,

and touch down as
lightly as possible,

otherwise Supercar may bury
itself deep in the snow.

Leave the engines running Mike,

it may be impossible
to restart them

at such a low temperature.
- Cutting horizontal drive.

Supercar to base, I
can't make it, Dr. Beaker.

I'm just a few feet
from the ground,

and the snow looks so soft,
I'm sure if we touch down,

Supercar would disappear, over.

- Base to Supercar,
base to Supercar,

I understand your message Mike,

and suggest to use a technique
we discussed for this situation.

- Roger, Dr. Beaker,
switching over to remote.

- What are you gonna do Mike?
- You'll see.

- It must be some
blizzard Jimmy,

I'm having the
greatest difficulty

in holding Supercar steady.

- What's happening Dr. Beaker?

What's going on?

- Well Jimmy, I'm going
to hold Supercar steady,

hovering just a few feet
above the ground,

while Mike, and Dr. Maslin
climb down by rope ladder.

- I get it, this way Supercar
won't sink into the snow.

- That's right Jimmy.
- Will it work?

- Oh, I don't see any
reason why not.

- Professor Kosinski.

- Hey what goes on.
- Something's wrong, Mike.

Professor Kosinski,
What's wrong?

- Nothing's wrong, Professor
Kosinski didn't answer you,

because my gun was pointing
straight at his head,

and now Professor, perhaps
you would be kind enough to

explain the situation to
these gentlemen.

- I tried to warn you
over the radio,

but Jason smashed it
with his bullets.

- Yeah, we got your transmission,
we thought the radio had failed.

Hey what goes on?

- We have made a
discovery of some of

the heaviest deposits of
uranium yet to be found

in the world, and Jason is
going to betray the secret to a

foreign government.
- Correction Professor,

to the government that
pays me the most.

- And how do you propose
to get out of here?

- Why that's where you
come in Mike Mercury,

you've just speeded up my plans.

I get out of here three
months sooner

than I expected in Supercar.

- Jason, a man's life depends
on our immediate return,

you can't do this thing.

- I'm the only one here
that can fly Supercar,

and there's only one
place I am heading,

and that's Black Rock, Nevada.

[ominous music]

- You'll do as I say
Mike Mercury.

- I repeat I'm flying
to Black Rock, Nevada.

- I'll give you 10 seconds,
Mike Mercury,

to change your mind.

And then I'm gonna shoot.
- Well, go ahead and shoot.

[tense music]

- Don't be a fool Mike, he's
crazy enough to do anything.

- I repeat, Supercar is
flying to Black Rock, Nevada.

- Okay, Mike Mercury,
you asked for it.

- You fool, Jason, you've
wrecked the generator.

- Deliberately Professor.

- You know what that
means, Jason?

Thee is no heat or light,

we shall freeze to death
within an hour.

- Precisely, but whether we
do freeze to death or not,

depends on Mike Mercury.

- Okay Jason, you win.

- Of course as soon
as he returns,

I realize we are
desperately short of time.

Yes, right, goodbye.

- That was the hospital,
wasn't it, Dr. Beaker?

- Yes Jimmy, that was
the hospital.

- How's Professor Popkiss
making up, Dr. Beaker.

- Well Jimmy, he's as
well as could be expected,

and as long as Mike
gets back soon,

everything will be alright.

- That's strange Jimmy,

Mike has taken over
control of Supercar.

Why didn't he call?

Something must be wrong.

Base to Supercar, Mike
is anything wrong, over.

- Don't answer it Mike Mercury.

Set course for Switzerland,
and get going.

You'd all better fasten
your safety belts,

it's going to be a bumpy ride.

- Uh-uh, oh no Mike Mercury,
I'm not falling for that one.

I'm going to be nice and
free to see that

you don't get up any tricks.

And remember I'm
watching your course,

I understand enough
about navigation

to know if you're
trying to be smart.

- You okay Doc., Professor?

- Fine, nice work Mike.
- I'm alright.

What happened?

- Now I told you to
fasten your safety belt,

didn't I Jason?

- [Jason] Get me out of here.

I can't breathe.

- Supercar to base,
Supercar to base,

all is well Beaker, we
are on our way back with

Professor Kosinski.

- What was the matter Mike,
did you run into some trouble?

- [Mike] Nothing that
Supercar couldn't handle.

[upbeat music]

- Well, how are you Professor?

- Satisfactory, most
satisfactory.

It's wonderful to
feel well again.

How can I ever thank you all?

- You don't have to
thank me, Professor.

The Supercar team saved my life.

- And you saved mine.

- Well, let's just say
that one good turn

deserves another.

- Professor, now that you
are completely recovered,

perhaps you could tell
me where you put

the key to the kitchen door.

- Dr. Beaker, I'm sure
you've got the key somewhere,

have you looked through
your pockets?

- Jimmy I don't have to
look through my pockets,

I can assure you that I
haven't got it.

- You see, Dr. Beaker,
you had it all the time.
