"The Tower Treasure."
Gosh, Mr. Boles‘ house
is almost close enough
to spit on.
Who cares? Stop trying
to look at things, will ya?
I was just thinkin‘ -
what if he happened
to see us?
Come on, get up there.
I am up here.
Now just quit pushin‘.
Hold it, will ya?
I can‘t see a thing.
There‘s steps inside.
Take it easy.
Gee!

Cut it out.
Now, will you wait here
for me?
You know, you pull
the dumbest stunts
I ever... Ohh!
(thud)
Frank!
I guess the floor
isn‘t very strong.
Frank, are you all right?
Joe!
Frank, what‘s the matter
with you?
Frank, you‘re not hurt,
are ya?
Joe, doubloons!
Joe, we got ‘em!
Doubloons! Doubloons!
Yahoo!
Yahoo!
Doubloons!
(both yell) Yahoo!
Yay! We found ‘em!
Joe, there‘s gotta be more.
Let‘s look over here.
"The inside boards
next to the steps
a couple of feet up,
where they‘re loose."
Get out of the way.
It must be these ones
right around where
the water pipe goes out.
Why didn‘t we
bring a crowbar?
Who cares? This stuff
is rotten anyway.
Whatcha lookin‘ for?
Huh?
Out there.
I heard you talkin‘ somethin‘
to them cops on the phone.
Has that got anything
to do with why you‘re -
Madam, I‘m not saying
that it does,
and then again,
I‘m not saying
that it doesn‘t.
But when
those beautiful policemen
in their handsome uniforms
come here to pick up that -
pick up that -
Hold them here.
What?
The police.
They mustn‘t see.
I mean, don‘t let
those nosy, meddlesome -
Oh, look, never mind.
(siren wailing)
Stay with the car.
I‘ll check inside.
Look out.
Frank, there‘s a piece
of cloth in there.
I can see it!
There, see?
Plenty of room to hide
all kinds of stuff.
It‘s an old sack!
I can feel it!
It‘s a sack!
And another one!
Hiya, kids.
Mr. Jackley.
I saw you climbin‘ up.
Whatcha doin‘?
Uh, watch it.
The floor‘s not very strong.
Yeah, I was afraid
you might be gettin‘ hurt.
Smart kids like you
oughta know better.
Mr. Jackley, we found it!
Huh?
Not for sure yet,
but -
The treasure.
Applegate‘s treasure.
You don‘t say.
I thought
you were Boles.
Whew. What a relief.
Me too.
But you can help us.
Come on.
So that‘s why
you were so scared.
How about that?
Thinkin‘ I was a crook
like that Boles.
(laughs)
Well, she‘s no help.
Said Boles
has gone out now, too.
Silly job.
"Come pick up Jackley."
So he‘s an ex-con?
So he‘s got
no plumber‘s license?
So who cares?
Nevertheless, I think
we oughta look around a bit.
He may be over
by the railroad yard
someplace.
(creaking)
Hey, you notice that pipe?
Yeah, it‘s certainly swingin‘
in the wind, isn‘t it?
Better tell the railroad
tomorrow before it falls
clear off.
Yeah. Well,
let‘s take a quick look
around the neighborhood,
and then we‘ll beat it.
1, 2, 3!
We got it. We got it!
We got it! Gold!
(Frank) Gold!
We got it! Yahoo!
Gold!
Wait till Dad sees it.
Wait till Applegate
sees it! Yahoo!
We found it!
The treasure!
Applegate treasure.
Doubloons!
Big ol‘ sacks
of everything!
(Joe) Yahoo!
Hey, quiet, kids.
We got work to do.
Get that rope ready, kid.
What are you gonna do,
lower them down?
Nah. Most of them
are too rotten.
See there?
I can carry ‘em all if we can
get ‘em in this jacket
here in the lining.
Come on, now.
Help me. Hurry up.
(train whistle blowing) Yahoo!
What‘s the matter?
It‘s the evening
freight train, that‘s all.
Listen to that.
It‘s gonna leave town on time.
Right on time.
Now come on.
Help me on with it.
Boost it. Thataboy.
Hey, Mr. Jackley...
Uh-huh?
If you‘re gonna wear
that jacket
and climb all the way down
with it,
then what‘s the rope for?
Quit askin‘ questions.
You‘ll find out.
You know,
it‘d be a lot easier
if Joe here went down first
and called our dad.
He could bring the car up,
and -
No!
Now get over there,
both of you,
till I get
this other sleeve on.
You know what,
Mr. Jackley?
You‘re a crook.
I always wondered -
I mean, ever since Perry
got in trouble -
how anybody else but you
could have taken those tools
and made it look
like Perry was the thief.
Frank!
Frank,
are you all right?
Frank, what‘s the matter
with you?!
I‘m OK.
That‘s his freight train.
He‘ll get away.
Help me.
Boys, help me.
(grunting)
My leg -
I can‘t move it.
The gold is all spilling out.
Help me, boys!
Help me!
Ohh, my doubloons.
(Joe) Get your paws
out of there...
Look at those
beautiful things.
Ha-ha! Oh, I‘m rich.
I‘m filthy rich.
Can I have one?
(Fenton) Look at those
Yes, you can.
