(man on PA)
'There we go..'
'A big splash!'
'Now, over in the,
uh, side pool..'
'A-and come on, let's see
what, uh, Donnie will do.'
'Oh!'
'Here we go.'
[indistinct chatter on PA]
[instrumental music]
[squealing]
[chuckles]
Oh, what's the matter, Gladys?
[squealing]
Hey, doc,
I think she's crying.
It's alright, Gladys,
we'll find you
another friend someday soon.
Easy, boys, easy.
He's just been tranquilized.
[squealing]
[audience applauding]
[squealing]
(Stubbs)
'Gladys, don't worry.'
'Bluebeard is just sleeping.'
[indistinct chatter on PA]
[siren blaring]
[music continues]
Get out of the way, kid.
[indistinct chatter]
[squeals]
Would you cool it, Gladys?
Darrell, go get her some fish.
Alright.
Gladys, you just hush up!
'Bluebeard's going
to be alright!'
[instrumental music]
What's going on, kid?
Oh, they're shipping
Bluebeard
over there
down to San Diego.
Bluebeard, eh?
Well, maybe you better do
what the lady says
and go get some fish.
Sure.
(man on PA)
'And how about that?'
'How about that,
ladies and gentlemen?'
Alright, boys,
over here on the double.
Sleep tight, Bluebeard.
Hey, where are you goin'?
Officer, what's the problem?
Oh, sorry, lady.
We need all the help we can get.
We got a tip
there's gonna be
some kind of a robbery
here today.
- A robbery?
- Mm-hmm.
Supposedly when they
load the armored car.
Come on, fellas, move out.
Now, wait a minute!
Officer, I'm sorry, you're just
gonna have to guard it yourself.
I'm taking
this dolphin to San Diego
and they're coming with me.
Look, sister, all I want
is the women and children
out of this whole
front area, okay?
Now, move out, fellas!
I am Dr. Stubbs,
curator of marine mammals
and I give the orders around
here. You two, get--
Look, if you're so sure
that this animal Bluebeard
needs company, then maybe
you better go along with us.
What?

[music continues]
Excuse me, but I'm
in a little bit of a hurry.
You see, they're expecting me
at the undersea
research lab and my plane
was running a little late.
Yes, ma'am, we've been
waiting for you, Ms. Prince.
You're to call your
headquarters in Washington
right away. We can put you
through from here.
Well, I'm supposed
to call and be briefed
after I look at the dolphin.
Yes, ma'am,
we just got word.
That dolphin that was supposed
to be shipped down here today..
- Yeah?
- It's been stolen.
Stolen? A dolphin?
(Steve)
'He's a bottlenose dolphin'
'and his name is Bluebeard.'
He was captured two days ago
by a marine park in Los Angeles.
They spotted him following
one of their boats.
'And just this morning, they
noticed the navy tattoo mark'
'and reported it to Washington.'
Well, what does the navy
say about him?
Not much. They can't find
his service records.
Dolphins have service records?
[Steve chuckles]
'They sure do.'
Only Bluebeard's
is either mislaid or stolen.
Now, all they know is that
he served four years in research
for the navy sea lab in Florida.
Now, apparently, two weeks ago,
he went AWOL from the Caribbean.
Since then he's been listed
as missing or dead
until, of course, he showed up
here in Los Angeles.
Wait a minute, Steve,
it's not possible to swim
from the Caribbean
to LA in two weeks
even if you're a dolphin.
And even if you took a shortcut
through the Panama Canal.
Right, that's exactly
why Washington brought
this case to our attention.
So, Bluebeard must have been
stolen from the Caribbean
and then transported by air
or land to LA.
(Steve)
'And then somehow
escaped into the Pacific.'
Only to be recovered
and then stolen again, today.
Well, without his service record
the navy can't tell us exactly
what he was trained for,
so whoever stole him
seems to be one up on us
in that department.
Well, Bluebeard is obviously
pretty good
at something special.
But who would want a dolphin
badly enough to steal him twice?
And why?
(Henry)
'Excuse me, sir.'
Mr. Lockhart?
Don't bother me now, Henry.
Tell James to go lower,
we're approaching the ocean now.
I'll tell him.
There it is.
'Twenty miles of coastline.'
'The most expensive real estate
development in America.'
- Tell him to fly slower.
- We will, sir.
But at the moment,
you have a phone call.
Code Harpoon.
- 'Gaffer?'
- Yes, sir.
- Right on schedule.
- 'Did you get him?'
Safe as a goldfish in a bowl.
Now, that's what you said
the last time
when we flew that dolphin
all the way here from Florida
only to have him get away.
Sir, it won't happen again.
Bluebeard
has had his little fling.
He will deliver for us.
Don't worry about it.
Well, if he doesn't
it's you who will be
fed to the sharks.
Yes, sir.
[clears throat]
Serve the champagne, Henry..
...and tell James to circle
the entire project again.
Yes, sir.
(Lockhart)
'The most expensive
housing tract'
in the entire world..
...and it's going to be mine.
Okay. Thanks very much.
Appreciate it.
[dolphin squealing]
Hey, Ms. Prince, what'd
the security chief say?
Well, he said
the sheriff just called.
The real sheriff?
They say highway patrolman
spotted your truck
in a little place
called Mountain Junction.
Oh, you're kidding.
T-that's inland.
He seemed pretty sure,
he said he saw it
and then lost it.
Well, was Dr. Stubbs
still with them?
He didn't say
but I'm gonna go out there
and take a look for myself.
Wait, wait, wait, you know
it reminded me, though..
I started feeding
Gladys again and--
Darrell,
I'll be back later, okay?
Wait, wait, wait,
it reminded me about
how much Bluebeard ate.
I mean, he never stopped.
What're you getting at?
Well, Dr. Stubbs, she went
to take some food
along in the truck
for him but,
but they took off
before she could
get it loaded.
Poor guy, by now
he must be
starving to death.
Well, there can't be
too many stores that sell
fresh fish
in Mountain Junction.
[chuckles]
Thanks, Darrell.
Sure.
Thank you.
Oh, excu..
Excuse me, ma'am.
Oh!
Oh, gosh, I'm sorry!
Here, let me help you.
Boy, I guess you like fish.
I-I, I got
a lot of cats, lady.
I hope nobody else
around here does.
Looks like you bought
the whole store out.
Would you keep
your hands off!
There's more inside.
Go buy your own.
Well, you're not very polite
for a police officer.
So, I'm off duty, maybe.
And you're gonna carry fish
in a squad car?
Oh.. Uh, look, I'm..
I'm sorry, lady, but, uh
if-if you had
as many cats as, as I do..
I-I gotta go now.
- Well, here, let me help.
- No!
I, I mean,
uh, excuse me, uh..
Uh, look, uh, here..
[chuckles]
...here.
Take one if, if you like.
[dramatic music]
[instrumental music]
Hello, Captain Gaffer?
Hello, sir, come in.
[thunderclap]
[instrumental music]
(Gaffer)
'Billy, where are you?'
Hello, captain,
I-I-I got the fish.
Uh, but I think I better
deliver them somewhere else.
[stammers]
I think I got a problem here.
[tires screeching]
Okay, you, out of my way!
I'm warning you!
[creaking]
Now..
...tell me,
where is the dolphin?
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
(Stubbs)
'Help! Help me!'
'Help me! Get me out of here!'
'Help me!'
'Help me! He.. Oh!'
Hold still. It's alright.
I'm Diana Prince.
I'm with the IADC.
You're Dr. Stubbs.
- Sylvia Stubbs, right?
- Uh, I'll kill him!
That man, I'll kill him!
You're talking about Gaffer?
That idiot just dumped
Bluebeard into the surf.
What?
You mean he went
to all the trouble
of stealing the dolphin
just to turn him loose?
And then he
ran down the beach
laughing at me. Ugh!
Now, we'll never
get Bluebeard back.
[Bluebeard squealing]
[laughing]
[instrumental music]
[instrumental music]
Here you are,
Gladys has worn
a harness before,
hasn't she?
Oh, yes. But now
she has a receiver implant.
I've trained her to come in
when it bleeps. We have a code.
Well, as long as it'll transmit
as well as receive.
Oh, hi, Diana.
Did you find out anything new?
Not much, I'm afraid.
That man that
Wonder Woman caught
his is name is Billy,
he doesn't know any more
than he already told her.
He was hired right off
the docks by a man named Gaffer.
The police say they're gonna
have to turn him loose.
Why? Billy impersonated a cop,
didn't he? I mean..
He helped in the heist.
The police will keep
an eye on him, I'm sure.
Billy has no idea
why they stole the dolphin.
He doesn't even know
where Gaffer can be found.
Well, that fellow Gaffer
didn't strike me
as being smart enough
to be in charge of anything.
'There's just got to be
somebody else.'
Undoubtedly.
Someone very powerful
who has a particular use
for a dolphin named Bluebeard.
Now, if we can just find him,
and get him back..
Oh, come on,
he could be anywhere
on the whole
Pacific Ocean by now.
(Diana)
'What, Gladys? What is it?'
[scoffs]
Don't tell me you're gonna have
her go looking for Bluebeard.
Nope. He's gonna find her.
[barking]
Well, that's how
we accidentally caught him
in the first place, Darrell.
He followed Gladys here
back to one of our boats.
Well, why would he wanna do
a thing like that?
Darrell..
Uh, Darrell, when you applied
for this summer job
how old did you say you were?
[chuckles]
Oh.. Oh-ho-ho, yeah.
Yeah.
[chuckles]
[squealing]
Alright, Mr. Goodspeed..
...I'll take that one..
...and that one.
And we'll throw in
the 500 condominiums
under construction
just for good measure.
[clicks tongue]
No. No sale.
Oh! With all those bank loans
coming due next week..
Be reasonable.
For just a small share
in your project
I'm offering you $200 million.
I thought I made it
clear to you before.
I will not sell.
Ira...you and your partners
are out on a very long limb.
Of course.
I've gambled my whole fortune
my whole life
on this project.
Nothing..
Nothing like that's going
to happen.
But if it did,
why, everyone would sell
and then you'd beg me
to bail you out.
Mr. Lockhart..
...I know how
you almost bought control
of Palm Beach last year.
Hm.
I know how you plan
to monopolize
every worthwhile piece
of coastal property
north of Mexico.
Well, it's not going to happen.
I'll not let you get your foot
in the door here.
Not in heavenly shores.
Never.
Alright, Mr. Goodspeed.
I just wanted
everyone to know
I gave you
this one last chance.
If there ever is a panic..
[finger snapping]
Now, if you'll excuse me..
...I have to go fishing.
[dramatic music]
[instrumental music]
That sounds clearer.
Can you send her out now?
Yes. Off you go, honey.
Swim around a bit, Gladys.
[clicking]
That's it.
Oh, no, if Gladys swims
maybe 20 miles an hour
it'll take her all morning
just for her to go
back and forth
in a ten-mile square.
'So if the Pacific Ocean'
'is 6000 miles wide'
times eight
or, or 10,000 miles long
that's 60 million square miles.
Darrell, stop thinking.
Well, that's worse than looking
for a needle in a haystack.
I mean, I figure it would
take about, uh, 10,000 years
for Bluebeard to find Gladys
and that's without any days off.
[device beeping]
Hey, what's the matter
with that thing?
She's circling.
[clicking]
Now, she's speeding up again.
Hey, look at all the birds
over there.
[birds chirping]
Something's scaring the fish.
A shark?
There's one over there!
Look. See it?
[dramatic music]
Gladys, come in!
Maybe we ought to get the boat
and try to scare them off.
That's a great idea.
Listen, I'll take this.
'You go on ahead.'
She'll never be able
to get away. T-they'll kill her.
Darrell, you go too.
Help her with the boat.
- Alright.
- Go on.
[Gladys screeching]
[music continues]
[Gladys screeching]
[thunderclap]
[instrumental music]
[clicking]
[Gladys screeching]
[music continues]
[squealing]
[instrumental music]
[squealing]
[clicking]
[squealing]
- Is she alright?
- Well, she needs to rest.
That's all.
I can't blame her.
Thank goodness something
frightened those sharks away.
I hate to say this,
but maybe Darrell was right.
Maybe we didn't have
such a good idea after all.
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
Hey, easy with that.
Where are the release magnets?
These four magnets.
Just like the ones
used in space research.
I had Henry here
buy out the only laboratory
in the west
that makes such things.
How much pull would it take
to get this apart?
I mean, I want Bluebeard
to be able to get loose
with his first tug.
Well, the top will stick
to the metal forever, of course
but the bottom breaks loose
from the harness. Here.
Hold it. See?
Let me show you, now.
There, see how easy it is?
A ten pound pull.
Just twice the weight
of the, uh, payload.
Bluebeard's gonna love this.
It'll work.
It's almost time for the
dress rehearsal, gentlemen.
- Shall we?
- Bluebeard's already aboard.
You're gonna
dig his performance.
Would you cast off for me,
please?
You should've asked me to, uh
get a smaller boat,
Mr. Lockhart.
May I ask, sir,
where it is we're going?
To the Pacific
missile test range
where the navy
does its target practice.
[dramatic music]
Be any minute now, sir.
That old hulk won't last long
once we start shooting.
I promise you that.
Hm.
[music continues]
[clicking]
[device beeping]
There he goes, sir.
He'll be mostly underwater
from here on.
Hm.
I hope he gets clear
before they start firing.
Hell, I just hope we do.
[squealing]
I know, sir,
it's not very good coffee
but I'm sure
when you see our firing..
Hm-mm.
[squealing]
He's away, sir.
He's coming back.
We better be getting out
of here, hadn't we?
Oh, no, not till I'm sure
that Bluebeard is alright.
[dramatic music]
(Gaffer)
There he is.
Come on, baby, follow me.
[laughing]
[squealing]
[explosion]
By Jove!
That's marksmanship.
You did it, sir. Incredible.
'And with the very first shot.'
Sir, thank you, sir.
But, uh.. Ahem.
I'm not sure
we've started firing yet.
We did it!
What a dress rehearsal!
That dolphin of his
is superb, Mr. Lockhart.
Yes, Henry. Superb.
Didn't I tell you
he'd deliver?
[laughs]
I wish you'd tell me what
this dress rehearsal was for.
[engine roaring]
There it is.
Now, that's a target.
'Longer than
the Empire State Building'
and wider
than a football stadium.
She's one of the largest tankers
in the whole world.
She looks rather full.
Only 500,000 tons
of crude oil. That's all.
Now, if that were
to spill near the coast
and if I had all my money
invested in heavenly shores
I'd panic, wouldn't you?
[chuckles]
[dramatic music]
[instrumental music]
One of my divers found this
stuck to the bottom
of the sunken ship.
Oh, you think
this is what sank it?
All I know is
we didn't blow it up.
[clank]
Wait a second.
It's a magnet.
Must be some sort
of a release magnet
like the kind
that NASA's developed.
I'd be darned. So,
maybe it fell off a satellite.
I'd better turn this over
to Naval Intelligence.
It might be Russia,
you know?
Mm-hm.
Or maybe it fell off a dolphin.
What?
I wonder where they
make those things.
Timewise,
we should be alright, sir.
Tuesday morning at 8:30,
the tanker will reach a spot
where shipping lanes
turn south along the coast.
Only five miles
off heavenly shores.
(Henry)
'Tide will be going in
and everything will be'
in your favor, sir.
Only one thing concerns me.
'The explosive payload
that we used in practice'
isn't big enough
for a ship that size.
And the dolphin can only
carry so much payload.
Do you have a solution
for that, Henry?
We substitute two ordinary bolts
for the four release magnets
and replace that weight
with extra explosive.
Very good, Henry.
Drop me off at the boat.
You get down to the laboratory
and supervise the change.
You know, of course, sir,
that the dolphin
won't be able to break away.
What's one dolphin lost
in the biggest oil spill
in history?
[dramatic music]
[instrumental music]
[barking]
(Henry on intercom)
'We're closed for the day.'
'Come back in the morning.'
This is government business.
(Henry)
'Sorry.'
Listen, I'm from the IADC
and this can't wait
until morning.
[barking]
Are you there?
Hello!
[thunderclap]
[barking continues]
[whimpers]
[dramatic music]
[alarm rings]
[music continues]
[grunting]
[instrumental music]
[grunting]
[engine revving]
What is it that you're trying
to keep me away from?
Thank you very much.
[glass shattering]
[intense music]
(Steve)
Gaffer's service record?
They probably stole it so we
wouldn't be able to trace him.
Probably did the same thing
to the dolphin.
That's what I figured.
It seems Gaffer's
just a nickname.
His real name is Schultz, and
he was dishonorably discharged.
(IRAC)
Schultz Melvin T.
You already have
a line on him, IRAC?
IRA's been fed
the name of every sailor
who's ever worked
with a dolphin.
Melvin Schultz
was one of the men
who trained Bluebeard.
Oh, so Bluebeard and Gaffer
or Schultz,
or whatever his name is
he and Bluebeard
go back a long way.
(IRAC)
'Affirmative.'
Well, is there any hint
as to what Gaffer
trained him for?
The fact that Schultz
also had training
in demolition may be relevant.
Demolition?
Steve, do you think that maybe
whatever blew up that empty ship
was placed there by Bluebeard?
Well, it's possible,
but why an empty ship?
Unless it's some kind
of a practice run.
The IRAC computer has..
(Diana)
'Practice run for what?'
That's what
we've got to find out.
Yeah, first,
we've gotta find out
who hired Schultz.
The IRAC computer has more on..
He must tie in
with the parts company somehow.
Yes. Say,
have you checked out..
[static]
The telephone manners
of Steve Trevor and Diana Prince
leave much to be desired.
Sorry, IRAC.
You were trying
to say something?
According to coast guard records
Melvin Schultz purchased
a sea vessel ten days ago.
Great, what's the name
of the boat
and where is it docked?
And speak up, IRA.
I seem to be deaf in one ear.
[instrumental music]
Excuse me, sir,
could you please tell me
where I could find
a boat called the..
[sniffs]
...Jolly.. Oh..
[sniffs]
Billy.
(Diana)
'Hey!'
Billy, wait!
You can't get away!
- Grab her! She's a cop.
- Cop?
I thought you said the cops
weren't following you anymore.
Well, maybe she's not a cop
but she sure is something.
A-all I know is, every time
I see her, I'm carryin' fish.
(Lockhart)
'Alright, that's enough!'
Throw her on board.
Don't wanna be late
for the party.
I bet you still feel pretty
rotten about Bluebeard
don't you, Gladys, huh? Yeah.
[clicking]
Aw!
- Okay.
- Darrell.
Oh, hi, doc.
What on earth are you
doing here at this hour?
Oh, I don't know, I thought,
maybe I'd keep, uh
Gladys here company
or something.
I know.
Besides, I thought
you were out with Diana
looking for Bluebeard.
Well, I would be
if I knew where to find Diana.
What do you mean?
She hasn't called me,
I can't find her.
And she promised
to keep in touch.
Everybody is disappearing.
[squealing]
Well, I'm not going
to just sit here
and neither is Gladys.
Darrell, go open the gates.
I'm gonna get
the little truck in here.
Why?
So we can put Gladys
back in the ocean.
You haven't finished
your work yet.
[chuckles]
Wha.. What about the sharks?
Oh, the odds against
her running into sharks
like that again
are phenomenal.
[chuckles]
Alright. Great.
Aren't they, Gladys?
[squealing]
[engine whirring]
- She's all stowed away, sir.
- Good.
Uh, I found
some things on her, sir.
She's a government agent,
Mr. Lockhart.
No wonder
she was asking Gaffer
all those questions.
Good thing we gagged her.
She was making me nervous.
I, uh, noticed a rather
heavy-looking anchor
down below, sir.
Hm, we'll wait until later
tie it around her neck
and simply..
Mr. Lockhart.
This is about
the spot you showed me
on that chart of yours.
Good work.
Oh, we're pretty close
to five miles offshore.
That's pretty close
to the main shipping lane.
What are we looking for?
You'll find out in a minute.
You just make sure
that dolphin of yours
is ready to go to work.
Aye-aye, sir.
[device beeping]
Okay, let me
turn off the motor.
- There.
- Yeah, that's a little better.
[beeping continues]
Well, Gladys must still be
eight or nine miles away.
Think she's still going north?
Looks that way.
Hmm. I wonder why she didn't
come back when you told her to.
I don't know,
unless she smelled something
or heard something
or felt something.
Hey, you don't suppose
she found where Bluebeard is?
[chuckles]
I don't know.
But if she has,
he certainly has moved
into a fancy neighborhood.
[laughs]
- Whoa!
- Wh.. What is it?
- Never seen anything like it.
- Let me see.
- Oh! It's a supertanker.
- It's humongous.
It's not Bluebeard, okay?
No more false alarms, Darrell,
if we don't keep moving
Gladys will swim
right out of radio range.
Alright.
[squealing]
I still wish somebody would
tell me what this target is.
Hey, Billy!
I need you in the wheelhouse!
Okay, let's get
those engines going.
I don't want that dolphin
to get too far away from us.
Billy, where are ya?
[engine rumbling]
Hold it right there.
Now, let me get
Bluebeard's radio going.
Billy, I need you!
[beeping]
What are you doing here,
I thought I told you
to keep your eye on that girl.
No, I need him right here.
Who's giving orders
around here anyway?
Well, that's not quite clear.
I am the captain
and you take orders from me.
Now I am the captain
of this ship.
[chuckles]
Okay. You're the boss.
I understand.
[beeping continues]
[intense music]
[thunderclap]
[beeping]
(Gaffer)
'Good Lord!'
You don't want Bluebeard
to blow up that thing.
Not that oil tanker.
That's practically
a whole oil field.
Think of the wildlife
that will be killed.
'Say nothing of those people
on that tanker!'
Bluebeard. Bluebeard.
[clicking]
Come on, turn around.
[squealing]
'Turn around, baby.'
That's your signal.
We're not gonna do this thing.
Your transmitter
doesn't work anymore.
But mine does, Gaffer.
Head for home.
Full speed ahead.
You-you're, you're not
gonna to leave him.. No.
'He'll never be able
to catch up with us.'
(Lockhart)
He won't even be able to get off
the bottom of that ship.
This is Bluebeard's last ride,
my friend.
[thunderclap]
[squealing]
[clicking]
[device beeping]
- What's the matter?
- I don't know.
It's some kinda
interference.
[squealing]
[beeping]
H-he's got..
He, he can't break loose.
You scum!
He'll blow up with that tanker!
[beeping]
[device screeching]
It sounds like a tornado.
Where is she, anyway?
Shh!
That is another radio
interfering.
(Wonder Woman)
Come on, Gladys
we've got to help Bluebeard.
[Gladys squeals]
[beeping]
Bluebeard.
[instrumental music]
[static]
Oh..
[beeping]
[squealing]
[dramatic music]

Hey, doc, look! Look!
(Stubbs)
'Is it Gladys and Bluebeard?'
- You see 'em? You see 'em?
- Oh, my God!
[laughing]
It is, it is! Oh! Ah!
- We did it!
- We found them! Oh!
(man on PA)
'Here we go.
A big splash.'

Here you go. Come on.
Come on, aw..
Go back. Come on.

[squealing]
You've got him working,
I see.
(Stubbs)
'Well, the gentleman
is here on probation'
and, uh, he does
have a way with dolphins.
Wonder Woman and the court were
both hoping he could help you
un-train Bluebeard
so that he can't be used
to blow things up again.
Wonder Woman said that
you seemed pretty relieved
when she stopped your boat
and captured that Lockhart.
Yeah, well, that Wonder Woman
is something else.

Easy, boys, easy.
He's just been tranquilized.

Get out of the way, kid.

Would you cool it, Gladys?
Darrell, go get her some fish.
Alright.
Gladys, you just hush up!
'Bluebeard's going
to be alright!'
[instrumental music]
What's going on, kid?
Oh, they're shipping
Bluebeard
over there
down to San Diego.
Bluebeard, eh?
Well, maybe you better do
what the lady says
and go get some fish.
Sure.
(man on PA)
'And how about that?'
'How about that,
ladies and gentlemen?'
Alright, boys,
over here on the double.
Sleep tight, Bluebeard.
Hey, where are you goin'?
Officer, what's the problem?
Oh, sorry, lady.
We need all the help we can get.
We got a tip
there's gonna be
some kind of a robbery
here today.
- A robbery?
- Mm-hmm.
Supposedly when they
load the armored car.
Come on, fellas, move out.
Now, wait a minute!
Officer, I'm sorry, you're just
gonna have to guard it yourself.
I'm taking
this dolphin to San Diego
and they're coming with me.
Look, sister, all I want
is the women and children
out of this whole
front area, okay?
Now, move out, fellas!
I am Dr. Stubbs,
curator of marine mammals
and I give the orders around
here. You two, get--
Look, if you're so sure
that this animal Bluebeard
needs company, then maybe
you better go along with us.
What?

[music continues]
Excuse me, but I'm
in a little bit of a hurry.
You see, they're expecting me
at the undersea
research lab and my plane
was running a little late.
Yes, ma'am, we've been
waiting for you, Ms. Prince.
You're to call your
headquarters in Washington
right away. We can put you
through from here.
Well, I'm supposed
to call and be briefed
after I look at the dolphin.
Yes, ma'am,
we just got word.
That dolphin that was supposed
to be shipped down here today..
- Yeah?
- It's been stolen.
Stolen? A dolphin?
(Steve)
'He's a bottlenose dolphin'
'and his name is Bluebeard.'
He was captured two days ago
by a marine park in Los Angeles.
They spotted him following
one of their boats.
'And just this morning, they
noticed the navy tattoo mark'
'and reported it to Washington.'
Well, what does the navy
say about him?
Not much. They can't find
his service records.
Dolphins have service records?
[Steve chuckles]
'They sure do.'
Only Bluebeard's
is either mislaid or stolen.
Now, all they know is that
he served four years in research
for the navy sea lab in Florida.
Now, apparently, two weeks ago,
he went AWOL from the Caribbean.
Since then he's been listed
as missing or dead
until, of course, he showed up
here in Los Angeles.
Wait a minute, Steve,
it's not possible to swim
from the Caribbean
to LA in two weeks
even if you're a dolphin.
And even if you took a shortcut
through the Panama Canal.
Right, that's exactly
why Washington brought
this case to our attention.
So, Bluebeard must have been
stolen from the Caribbean
and then transported by air
or land to LA.
(Steve)
'And then somehow
escaped into the Pacific.'
Only to be recovered
and then stolen again, today.
Well, without his service record
the navy can't tell us exactly
what he was trained for,
so whoever stole him
seems to be one up on us
in that department.
Well, Bluebeard is obviously
pretty good
at something special.
But who would want a dolphin
badly enough to steal him twice?
And why?
(Henry)
'Excuse me, sir.'
Mr. Lockhart?
Don't bother me now, Henry.
Tell James to go lower,
we're approaching the ocean now.
I'll tell him.
There it is.
'Twenty miles of coastline.'
'The most expensive real estate
development in America.'
- Tell him to fly slower.
- We will, sir.
But at the moment,
you have a phone call.
Code Harpoon.
- 'Gaffer?'
- Yes, sir.
- Right on schedule.
- 'Did you get him?'
Safe as a goldfish in a bowl.
Now, that's what you said
the last time
when we flew that dolphin
all the way here from Florida
only to have him get away.
Sir, it won't happen again.
Bluebeard
has had his little fling.
He will deliver for us.
Don't worry about it.
Well, if he doesn't
it's you who will be
fed to the sharks.
Yes, sir.
[clears throat]
Serve the champagne, Henry..
...and tell James to circle
the entire project again.
Yes, sir.
(Lockhart)
'The most expensive
housing tract'
in the entire world..
...and it's going to be mine.
Okay. Thanks very much.
Appreciate it.
[dolphin squealing]
Hey, Ms. Prince, what'd
the security chief say?
Well, he said
the sheriff just called.
The real sheriff?
They say highway patrolman
spotted your truck
in a little place
called Mountain Junction.
Oh, you're kidding.
T-that's inland.
He seemed pretty sure,
he said he saw it
and then lost it.
Well, was Dr. Stubbs
still with them?
He didn't say
but I'm gonna go out there
and take a look for myself.
Wait, wait, wait, you know
it reminded me, though..
I started feeding
Gladys again and--
Darrell,
I'll be back later, okay?
Wait, wait, wait,
it reminded me about
how much Bluebeard ate.
I mean, he never stopped.
What're you getting at?
Well, Dr. Stubbs, she went
to take some food
along in the truck
for him but,
but they took off
before she could
get it loaded.
Poor guy, by now
he must be
starving to death.
Well, there can't be
too many stores that sell
fresh fish
in Mountain Junction.
[chuckles]
Thanks, Darrell.
Sure.
Thank you.
Oh, excu..
Excuse me, ma'am.
Oh!
Oh, gosh, I'm sorry!
Here, let me help you.
Boy, I guess you like fish.
I-I, I got
a lot of cats, lady.
I hope nobody else
around here does.
Looks like you bought
the whole store out.
Would you keep
your hands off!
There's more inside.
Go buy your own.
Well, you're not very polite
for a police officer.
So, I'm off duty, maybe.
And you're gonna carry fish
in a squad car?
Oh.. Uh, look, I'm..
I'm sorry, lady, but, uh
if-if you had
as many cats as, as I do..
I-I gotta go now.
- Well, here, let me help.
- No!
I, I mean,
uh, excuse me, uh..
Uh, look, uh, here..
[chuckles]
...here.
Take one if, if you like.
[dramatic music]
[instrumental music]
Hello, Captain Gaffer?
Hello, sir, come in.
[thunderclap]
[instrumental music]
(Gaffer)
'Billy, where are you?'
Hello, captain,
I-I-I got the fish.
Uh, but I think I better
deliver them somewhere else.
[stammers]
I think I got a problem here.
[tires screeching]
Okay, you, out of my way!
I'm warning you!
[creaking]
Now..
...tell me,
where is the dolphin?
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
(Stubbs)
'Help! Help me!'
'Help me! Get me out of here!'
'Help me!'
'Help me! He.. Oh!'
Hold still. It's alright.
I'm Diana Prince.
I'm with the IADC.
You're Dr. Stubbs.
- Sylvia Stubbs, right?
- Uh, I'll kill him!
That man, I'll kill him!
You're talking about Gaffer?
That idiot just dumped
Bluebeard into the surf.
What?
You mean he went
to all the trouble
of stealing the dolphin
just to turn him loose?
And then he
ran down the beach
laughing at me. Ugh!
Now, we'll never
get Bluebeard back.
[Bluebeard squealing]
[laughing]
[instrumental music]
[instrumental music]
Here you are,
Gladys has worn
a harness before,
hasn't she?
Oh, yes. But now
she has a receiver implant.
I've trained her to come in
when it bleeps. We have a code.
Well, as long as it'll transmit
as well as receive.
Oh, hi, Diana.
Did you find out anything new?
Not much, I'm afraid.
That man that
Wonder Woman caught
his is name is Billy,
he doesn't know any more
than he already told her.
He was hired right off
the docks by a man named Gaffer.
The police say they're gonna
have to turn him loose.
Why? Billy impersonated a cop,
didn't he? I mean..
He helped in the heist.
The police will keep
an eye on him, I'm sure.
Billy has no idea
why they stole the dolphin.
He doesn't even know
where Gaffer can be found.
Well, that fellow Gaffer
didn't strike me
as being smart enough
to be in charge of anything.
'There's just got to be
somebody else.'
Undoubtedly.
Someone very powerful
who has a particular use
for a dolphin named Bluebeard.
Now, if we can just find him,
and get him back..
Oh, come on,
he could be anywhere
on the whole
Pacific Ocean by now.
(Diana)
'What, Gladys? What is it?'
[scoffs]
Don't tell me you're gonna have
her go looking for Bluebeard.
Nope. He's gonna find her.
[barking]
Well, that's how
we accidentally caught him
in the first place, Darrell.
He followed Gladys here
back to one of our boats.
Well, why would he wanna do
a thing like that?
Darrell..
Uh, Darrell, when you applied
for this summer job
how old did you say you were?
[chuckles]
Oh.. Oh-ho-ho, yeah.
Yeah.
[chuckles]
[squealing]
Alright, Mr. Goodspeed..
...I'll take that one..
...and that one.
And we'll throw in
the 500 condominiums
under construction
just for good measure.
[clicks tongue]
No. No sale.
Oh! With all those bank loans
coming due next week..
Be reasonable.
For just a small share
in your project
I'm offering you $200 million.
I thought I made it
clear to you before.
I will not sell.
Ira...you and your partners
are out on a very long limb.
Of course.
I've gambled my whole fortune
my whole life
on this project.
Nothing..
Nothing like that's going
to happen.
But if it did,
why, everyone would sell
and then you'd beg me
to bail you out.
Mr. Lockhart..
...I know how
you almost bought control
of Palm Beach last year.
Hm.
I know how you plan
to monopolize
every worthwhile piece
of coastal property
north of Mexico.
Well, it's not going to happen.
I'll not let you get your foot
in the door here.
Not in heavenly shores.
Never.
Alright, Mr. Goodspeed.
I just wanted
everyone to know
I gave you
this one last chance.
If there ever is a panic..
[finger snapping]
Now, if you'll excuse me..
...I have to go fishing.
[dramatic music]
[instrumental music]
That sounds clearer.
Can you send her out now?
Yes. Off you go, honey.
Swim around a bit, Gladys.
[clicking]
That's it.
Oh, no, if Gladys swims
maybe 20 miles an hour
it'll take her all morning
just for her to go
back and forth
in a ten-mile square.
'So if the Pacific Ocean'
'is 6000 miles wide'
times eight
or, or 10,000 miles long
that's 60 million square miles.
Darrell, stop thinking.
Well, that's worse than looking
for a needle in a haystack.
I mean, I figure it would
take about, uh, 10,000 years
for Bluebeard to find Gladys
and that's without any days off.
[device beeping]
Hey, what's the matter
with that thing?
She's circling.
[clicking]
Now, she's speeding up again.
Hey, look at all the birds
over there.
[birds chirping]
Something's scaring the fish.
A shark?
There's one over there!
Look. See it?
[dramatic music]
Gladys, come in!
Maybe we ought to get the boat
and try to scare them off.
That's a great idea.
Listen, I'll take this.
'You go on ahead.'
She'll never be able
to get away. T-they'll kill her.
Darrell, you go too.
Help her with the boat.
- Alright.
- Go on.
[Gladys screeching]

[squealing]

[squealing]
- Is she alright?
- Well, she needs to rest.
That's all.
I can't blame her.
Thank goodness something
frightened those sharks away.
I hate to say this,
but maybe Darrell was right.
Maybe we didn't have
such a good idea after all.
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
Hey, easy with that.
Where are the release magnets?
These four magnets.
Just like the ones
used in space research.
I had Henry here
buy out the only laboratory
in the west
that makes such things.
How much pull would it take
to get this apart?
I mean, I want Bluebeard
to be able to get loose
with his first tug.
Well, the top will stick
to the metal forever, of course
but the bottom breaks loose
from the harness. Here.
Hold it. See?
Let me show you, now.
There, see how easy it is?
A ten pound pull.
Just twice the weight
of the, uh, payload.
Bluebeard's gonna love this.
It'll work.
It's almost time for the
dress rehearsal, gentlemen.
- Shall we?
- Bluebeard's already aboard.
You're gonna
dig his performance.
Would you cast off for me,
please?
You should've asked me to, uh
get a smaller boat,
Mr. Lockhart.
May I ask, sir,
where it is we're going?
To the Pacific
missile test range
where the navy
does its target practice.
[dramatic music]
Be any minute now, sir.
That old hulk won't last long
once we start shooting.
I promise you that.
Hm.
[music continues]
[clicking]
[device beeping]
There he goes, sir.
He'll be mostly underwater
from here on.
Hm.
I hope he gets clear
before they start firing.
Hell, I just hope we do.
[squealing]
I know, sir,
it's not very good coffee
but I'm sure
when you see our firing..
Hm-mm.
[squealing]
He's away, sir.
He's coming back.
We better be getting out
of here, hadn't we?
Oh, no, not till I'm sure
that Bluebeard is alright.
[dramatic music]
(Gaffer)
There he is.
Come on, baby, follow me.
[laughing]
[squealing]
[explosion]
By Jove!
That's marksmanship.
You did it, sir. Incredible.
'And with the very first shot.'
Sir, thank you, sir.
But, uh.. Ahem.
I'm not sure
we've started firing yet.
We did it!
What a dress rehearsal!
That dolphin of his
is superb, Mr. Lockhart.
Yes, Henry. Superb.
Didn't I tell you
he'd deliver?
[laughs]
I wish you'd tell me what
this dress rehearsal was for.
[engine roaring]
There it is.
Now, that's a target.
'Longer than
the Empire State Building'
and wider
than a football stadium.
She's one of the largest tankers
in the whole world.
She looks rather full.
Only 500,000 tons
of crude oil. That's all.
Now, if that were
to spill near the coast
and if I had all my money
invested in heavenly shores
I'd panic, wouldn't you?
[chuckles]
[dramatic music]
[instrumental music]
One of my divers found this
stuck to the bottom
of the sunken ship.
Oh, you think
this is what sank it?
All I know is
we didn't blow it up.
[clank]
Wait a second.
It's a magnet.
Must be some sort
of a release magnet
like the kind
that NASA's developed.
I'd be darned. So,
maybe it fell off a satellite.
I'd better turn this over
to Naval Intelligence.
It might be Russia,
you know?
Mm-hm.
Or maybe it fell off a dolphin.
What?
I wonder where they
make those things.
Timewise,
we should be alright, sir.
Tuesday morning at 8:30,
the tanker will reach a spot
where shipping lanes
turn south along the coast.
Only five miles
off heavenly shores.
(Henry)
'Tide will be going in
and everything will be'
in your favor, sir.
Only one thing concerns me.
'The explosive payload
that we used in practice'
isn't big enough
for a ship that size.
And the dolphin can only
carry so much payload.
Do you have a solution
for that, Henry?
We substitute two ordinary bolts
for the four release magnets
and replace that weight
with extra explosive.
Very good, Henry.
Drop me off at the boat.
You get down to the laboratory
and supervise the change.
You know, of course, sir,
that the dolphin
won't be able to break away.
What's one dolphin lost
in the biggest oil spill
in history?
[dramatic music]
[instrumental music]
[barking]
(Henry on intercom)
'We're closed for the day.'
'Come back in the morning.'
This is government business.
(Henry)
'Sorry.'
Listen, I'm from the IADC
and this can't wait
until morning.
[barking]
Are you there?
Hello!
[thunderclap]
[barking continues]
[whimpers]
[dramatic music]
[alarm rings]
[music continues]
[grunting]

[grunting]
[engine revving]
What is it that you're trying
to keep me away from?
Thank you very much.
[glass shattering]
[intense music]
(Steve)
Gaffer's service record?
They probably stole it so we
wouldn't be able to trace him.
Probably did the same thing
to the dolphin.
That's what I figured.
It seems Gaffer's
just a nickname.
His real name is Schultz, and
he was dishonorably discharged.
(IRAC)
Schultz Melvin T.
You already have
a line on him, IRAC?
IRA's been fed
the name of every sailor
who's ever worked
with a dolphin.
Melvin Schultz
was one of the men
who trained Bluebeard.
Oh, so Bluebeard and Gaffer
or Schultz,
or whatever his name is
he and Bluebeard
go back a long way.
(IRAC)
'Affirmative.'
Well, is there any hint
as to what Gaffer
trained him for?
The fact that Schultz
also had training
in demolition may be relevant.
Demolition?
Steve, do you think that maybe
whatever blew up that empty ship
was placed there by Bluebeard?
Well, it's possible,
but why an empty ship?
Unless it's some kind
of a practice run.
The IRAC computer has..
(Diana)
'Practice run for what?'
That's what
we've got to find out.
Yeah, first,
we've gotta find out
who hired Schultz.
The IRAC computer has more on..
He must tie in
with the parts company somehow.
Yes. Say,
have you checked out..
[static]
The telephone manners
of Steve Trevor and Diana Prince
leave much to be desired.
Sorry, IRAC.
You were trying
to say something?
According to coast guard records
Melvin Schultz purchased
a sea vessel ten days ago.
Great, what's the name
of the boat
and where is it docked?
And speak up, IRA.
I seem to be deaf in one ear.
[instrumental music]
Excuse me, sir,
could you please tell me
where I could find
a boat called the..
[sniffs]
...Jolly.. Oh..
[sniffs]
Billy.
(Diana)
'Hey!'
Billy, wait!
You can't get away!
- Grab her! She's a cop.
- Cop?
I thought you said the cops
weren't following you anymore.
Well, maybe she's not a cop
but she sure is something.
A-all I know is, every time
I see her, I'm carryin' fish.
(Lockhart)
'Alright, that's enough!'
Throw her on board.
Don't wanna be late
for the party.
I bet you still feel pretty
rotten about Bluebeard
don't you, Gladys, huh? Yeah.
[clicking]
Aw!
- Okay.
- Darrell.
Oh, hi, doc.
What on earth are you
doing here at this hour?
Oh, I don't know, I thought,
maybe I'd keep, uh
Gladys here company
or something.
I know.
Besides, I thought
you were out with Diana
looking for Bluebeard.
Well, I would be
if I knew where to find Diana.
What do you mean?
She hasn't called me,
I can't find her.
And she promised
to keep in touch.
Everybody is disappearing.
[squealing]
Well, I'm not going
to just sit here
and neither is Gladys.
Darrell, go open the gates.
I'm gonna get
the little truck in here.
Why?
So we can put Gladys
back in the ocean.
You haven't finished
your work yet.
[chuckles]
Wha.. What about the sharks?
Oh, the odds against
her running into sharks
like that again
are phenomenal.
[chuckles]
Alright. Great.
Aren't they, Gladys?
[squealing]
[engine whirring]
- She's all stowed away, sir.
- Good.
Uh, I found
some things on her, sir.
She's a government agent,
Mr. Lockhart.
No wonder
she was asking Gaffer
all those questions.
Good thing we gagged her.
She was making me nervous.
I, uh, noticed a rather
heavy-looking anchor
down below, sir.
Hm, we'll wait until later
tie it around her neck
and simply..
Mr. Lockhart.
This is about
the spot you showed me
on that chart of yours.
Good work.
Oh, we're pretty close
to five miles offshore.
That's pretty close
to the main shipping lane.
What are we looking for?
You'll find out in a minute.
You just make sure
that dolphin of yours
is ready to go to work.
Aye-aye, sir.
[device beeping]
Okay, let me
turn off the motor.
- There.
- Yeah, that's a little better.
[beeping continues]
Well, Gladys must still be
eight or nine miles away.
Think she's still going north?
Looks that way.
Hmm. I wonder why she didn't
come back when you told her to.
I don't know,
unless she smelled something
or heard something
or felt something.
Hey, you don't suppose
she found where Bluebeard is?
[chuckles]
I don't know.
But if she has,
he certainly has moved
into a fancy neighborhood.
[laughs]
- Whoa!
- Wh.. What is it?
- Never seen anything like it.
- Let me see.
- Oh! It's a supertanker.
- It's humongous.
It's not Bluebeard, okay?
No more false alarms, Darrell,
if we don't keep moving
Gladys will swim
right out of radio range.
Alright.
[squealing]
I still wish somebody would
tell me what this target is.
Hey, Billy!
I need you in the wheelhouse!
Okay, let's get
those engines going.
I don't want that dolphin
to get too far away from us.
Billy, where are ya?
[engine rumbling]
Hold it right there.
Now, let me get
Bluebeard's radio going.
Billy, I need you!
[beeping]
What are you doing here,
I thought I told you
to keep your eye on that girl.
No, I need him right here.
Who's giving orders
around here anyway?
Well, that's not quite clear.
I am the captain
and you take orders from me.
Now I am the captain
of this ship.
[chuckles]
Okay. You're the boss.
I understand.
[beeping continues]
[intense music]
[thunderclap]
[beeping]
(Gaffer)
'Good Lord!'
You don't want Bluebeard
to blow up that thing.
Not that oil tanker.
That's practically
a whole oil field.
Think of the wildlife
that will be killed.
'Say nothing of those people
on that tanker!'
Bluebeard. Bluebeard.
[clicking]
Come on, turn around.
[squealing]
'Turn around, baby.'
That's your signal.
We're not gonna do this thing.
Your transmitter
doesn't work anymore.
But mine does, Gaffer.
Head for home.
Full speed ahead.
You-you're, you're not
gonna to leave him.. No.
'He'll never be able
to catch up with us.'
(Lockhart)
He won't even be able to get off
the bottom of that ship.
This is Bluebeard's last ride,
my friend.
[thunderclap]
[squealing]
[clicking]
[device beeping]
- What's the matter?
- I don't know.
It's some kinda
interference.
[squealing]
[beeping]
H-he's got..
He, he can't break loose.
You scum!
He'll blow up with that tanker!
[beeping]
[device screeching]
It sounds like a tornado.
Where is she, anyway?
Shh!
That is another radio
interfering.
(Wonder Woman)
Come on, Gladys
we've got to help Bluebeard.
[Gladys squeals]
[beeping]
Bluebeard.
[instrumental music]
[static]
Oh..
[beeping]
[squealing]
[dramatic music]
[explosion]
[grunts]
[dolphins squealing]
[instrumental music]
Hey, doc, look! Look!
(Stubbs)
'Is it Gladys and Bluebeard?'
- You see 'em? You see 'em?
- Oh, my God!
[laughing]
It is, it is! Oh! Ah!
- We did it!
- We found them! Oh!
(man on PA)
'Here we go.
A big splash.'
[squealing]
Here you go. Come on.
Come on, aw..
Go back. Come on.

'Here we go.'
[laughs]
[squealing]
You've got him working,
I see.
(Stubbs)
'Well, the gentleman
is here on probation'
and, uh, he does
have a way with dolphins.
Wonder Woman and the court were
both hoping he could help you
un-train Bluebeard
so that he can't be used
to blow things up again.
Wonder Woman said that
you seemed pretty relieved
when she stopped your boat
and captured that Lockhart.
Yeah, well, that Wonder Woman
is something else.
