02:00Who is he?
02:01Just the greatest animal trainer in the world, that's all.
02:30But I never met one as dumb as you.
02:46If you don't want to get the height.
02:47I don't think so much of him.
02:49You'll hurry up and do what I tell you.
02:50Oh, he couldn't even train animal crackers.
02:52Get up there.
02:54You hear me?
02:56Get up there, get up there or I'll break every bone in your body.
03:00You gonna do what I tell you?
03:02Get up there.
03:04You'll never get that cat to do that trick.
03:06You don't handle him right.
03:08I don't, eh?
03:09Open up that chute.
03:11I'll show this baby who's boss.
03:15Come on, come on, come on.
03:17Get in there.
03:18Come on, come on, come.
03:19Get in there.
03:36Don't you snarl at me or I'll knock every tooth out of your head.
03:39Get up, Sharky.
03:49If I ever catch you mistreating any of my animals again, you're through, understand?
03:56The cat went for me, honest it did, Mr. Beatty.
03:58I had to teach him a lesson.
04:00That's no excuse.
04:01I do all my training without beating the animals up, and you'll have to do the same.
04:05I'm sorry.
04:06It won't happen again.
04:08I guess I had it coming.
04:11It's all right.
04:12Let's forget it.
04:13Can you imagine that guy telling me how to train animals?
04:24I've forgotten more than he'll ever know.
04:27Just the same.
04:28You'd like to have a job, wouldn't you?
04:32How'd you like to have that one, huh?
04:38We'd better get that pup out of here, Sonny.
04:39One of my lions might chew him up.
04:40Don't worry.
04:41He ain't afraid of lions, are you, Spot?
04:44He looks like a fighter.
04:45Maybe it's a good thing my lions are safe in their cages.
04:49Look out, he'll bite you.
04:55Gosh, you're a swell animal trainer, Mr. Beatty.
04:58Hey, Clyde, your new lion Samson's here.
05:00Good.
05:01I'll try him out right away.
05:02You better let him alone until he's had time to cool off.
05:05They're all bad at first.
05:06We might as well get acquainted now as any time.
05:08Can we watch you train him, Mr. Beatty?
05:10All right.
05:11Be sure you hang on to Spot.
05:12I don't want to take any chances.
05:13Don't worry.
05:14I won't let him get at your lions.
05:21He's all right.
05:22He's all right.
05:23Don't let out cat growl.
05:31Open the door.
05:40I think you'd better wait here.
05:48All right, Joe.
06:02Hold it, Joe.
06:03That's close enough.
06:08So you're Samson the lion killer.
06:10Just to show you I don't think you're so tough,
06:13All right, Joe.
06:14I'll call you Sammy.
06:15All right.
06:16Move.
06:17Ready.
06:18Ready.
06:23Here.
06:24Here.
06:25Come here.
06:26Come here.
06:40All right, for the rope.
06:44All right, Joe.
06:45Give Sammy some more room.
06:46Take it easy, old boy.
06:47We're not going to hurt you.
06:48Start getting him down to the chute.
07:11And be sure you hang on to that rope.
07:12I'll take care of this.
07:18All right, open up that door.
07:28What you going to do?
07:30Shoot the lion?
07:31No, these are just planks.
07:33But the lion doesn't know it.
07:47Ready.
07:56All set, Clyde.
07:57Okay, start him down.
07:59Look out, Clyde.
08:00The lion's loose.
08:02Look out, Clyde.
08:13The lion's loop.
08:30We gotta get a hold of that rope!
08:33We got it!
08:34Hey, you kids! Get away from them!
08:37Give me that!
08:38Now, beat it!
08:59Now, Mr. Brady! Mr. Brady, there's a gun!
09:29That's enough for today, boys.
09:36Gee, that was a close call.
09:38Sure glad you got out of that, Clyde.
09:40I was shocked he stumbled. He couldn't help it.
09:43I sort of stumbled myself a minute ago.
09:45It's gonna take a lot of hard work to train Sammy for my new act.
09:48But he's worth it.
09:52Are you all right, Mr. Brady?
09:54Clyde, it hurts, did it?
09:55Gosh, I was scared.
09:57You haven't got nothing on me.
09:59Thanks, Sammy. I sure needed that gun.
10:01Oh, if my dog would have been here, you wouldn't have needed a gun or nothing.
10:05I'm gonna show you kids something.
10:08Come on.
10:11How'd you like that?
10:12Aren't they cute?
10:14How old are they, Mr. Brady?
10:16Just two weeks old.
10:17Hey, Pete!
10:18How'd you kids like a ride on an elephant?
10:20That is huge!
10:21Yes, Mr. Brady.
10:22Give my friends a good long ride on Jumbo.
10:24Will you, Pete?
10:25Sure!
10:26How'd Samson work out?
10:27Fine, Mr. Maitland.
10:28He's just what I needed to complete my mixed animal act.
10:31You can go ahead now and get out your advertising.
10:33Not so fast, young man.
10:34Good posters cost money.
10:36I gotta see that act first.
10:38I was right about my 20 lions and 20 tigers act, wasn't I?
10:41You sure were.
10:42But mixing lions, bears, and the Lord knows what, all in one cage is something else.
10:47You'll never do it, Clyde.
10:49The big animals will kill the smaller ones, sure as shooting.
10:53But I can keep them from fighting.
10:55We're moosin' together already.
10:56It'll be a great act, won't it?
10:58Yes, if you can do it.
11:00But you'll have to show me.
11:02All right.
11:03Best rehearsal next week.
11:14Ladies and gentlemen,
11:17Maitland's Mammoth Circus
11:21now presents the most sensational spectacle
11:26in the history of the world.
11:30The most vicious man killers
11:33ever assembled under one roof
11:36will now be worked together
11:40in the big cage
11:42for the first time in any circus
11:46by the world's greatest animal trainer
11:51Mr. Clyde Beatty.
12:05Boss, I got a swell idea for the poster.
12:07It's colossal.
12:08Now, up here in this corner,
12:09we'll have 10 lions coming out of a thick jungle.
12:12No, 30 lions.
12:13And over here...
12:14Just a minute, Henderson.
12:15Suppose we wait and see if Clyde's acting as good as he says.
12:19Here they come.
12:45Hey!
13:15Playful little fellas.
13:41What I'm worried about is what's going to happen
13:44when the tigers get in there.
14:14Whoa!
14:25Whoa!
14:54Hey!
15:25All right, let the lions in.
15:33Hey, come on.
15:34Come on, boys.
15:35Get in there.
15:36Come on.
15:39Just wait until Sammy gets in there.
15:41Yep.
15:42Clyde's sure going to have plenty of trouble with this baby.
15:44Come on, Sammy.
15:45Sammy.
15:46Sammy, get in there.
15:47Hey!
16:18Hey!
16:19Hey!
16:20Hey!
16:21Hey!
16:22Hey!
16:23Hey!
16:24Hey!
16:25Hey!
16:26Hey!
16:27Hey!
16:28Hey!
16:29Hey!
16:30Hey!
16:31Hey!
16:32Hey!
16:33Hey!
16:34Hey!
16:35Hey!
16:36Hey!
16:37Hey!
16:38Hey!
16:39Hey!
16:40Hey!
16:41Hey!
16:42Hey!
16:43Hey!
16:44Hey!
16:45Hey!
16:46Hey!
16:47Hey!
16:48Hey!
16:49Hey!
16:50Hey!
16:51Hey!
16:52Hey!
16:53Hey!
16:54Hey!
16:55Hey!
16:56Hey!
16:57Hey!
16:58Hey!
16:59Hey!
17:00Hey!
17:01Hey!
17:02Hey!
17:03Hey!
17:04Hey!
17:05Hey!
17:06Hey!
17:07Hey!
17:08Hey!
17:09Hey!
17:10Hey!
17:11Hey!
17:12Hey!
17:13Hey!
17:14Hey!
17:16Hey!
17:17Hey!
17:34It's a success!
17:36Billet does the biggest thing Clyde's ever done!
17:39Boy, watch my smoke!
17:45Gracie!
17:45Sammy!
18:06What did I tell you?
18:15Sammy, Nellie!
18:46Nellie!
18:47Sammy!
18:53That boy sure knows his stuff.
18:55And it's a good thing for him that he does.
19:02Well, how'd you like the show?
19:04It's marvelous, Clyde.
19:06But I'm afraid you'll never be able to keep that tiger and Sammy in the same cage.
19:10Don't worry, Mr. Maitland.
19:12By the time this season's over, they'll be kissing each other.
19:15Yeah.
19:41It's season, Clyde.
19:42In fact, we've had several great seasons.
19:44And every year, you've come through with an act more sensational than the one before.
19:49Thank you, Mr. Maitland. It's nice of you to say that.
19:52Yeah, but the public will expect an even bigger thrill next year.
19:55And I don't see how you're going to give it to them.
19:59Well, I guess I'll have to let you know a little secret.
20:02I'm going to the jungle and get some wild animals in their native haunts.
20:05You mean shoot them?
20:07No! Bring them back alive!
20:09Boy, what an idea!
20:11It's a wonder I didn't think of it myself.
20:14Imagine the publicity!
20:16Clyde Beattie, he traps them and trains them.
20:18Boy, it's colossal! It's stupendous! It's mammoth! It's...
20:21Colossal!
20:22Oh, I said that.
20:23But where are you going, Clyde?
20:24To India, first for tigers.
20:26Then to Africa for lions.
20:27There's a boat sailing...
20:28Boat? What do you mean, boat?
20:30You'll do nothing of the kind.
20:31Not while I'm handling the publicity for the greatest show on earth.
20:34What are you driving at, Larry?
20:35I've got the biggest publicity stunt that was ever pulled.
20:38They're starting a new trans-Pacific airline next week.
20:40The dirigible victory is making her maiden voyage.
20:42Can't you see the story?
20:43Queen of the Sky transports Clyde Beattie on the first leg of his journey to bring him back alive.
20:47Why, man, we'll crash the front page of every newspaper in the world.
21:14It must take a lot of nerve for a man to go into a cage with wild animals.
21:17It sure does, Doctor.
21:19And, uh, I've had many, and they'll escape.
21:22Hmm.
21:23You work in Mr. Beattie's act?
21:25Well, not exactly, but I'm always standing by in case anything happens.
21:29Beattie never makes a move without me.
21:31Why, I taught him everything he knows.
21:34Well, that's a good thing.
21:36I'm sure he'll be all right.
21:38Beattie never makes a move without me.
21:40Why, I taught him everything he knows.
21:43There's that guy Sharky running off at the mouth again.
21:46I can't understand why you brought him along on this trip.
21:49Will you hold the other end of the rope while I'm taking a live tiger out of a trap?
21:53Or putting a snared lion into a cage?
21:56Who, me?
21:57Ha! Not on your life.
21:59Well, that's why I'm taking Sharky along.
22:03Hey, X-ray, here you are, mister.
22:06All about the victory.
22:07Giant airship sighted far at sea.
22:11After several hours of beautiful, clear weather,
22:14a radio dispatch from the victory reports
22:16that the dirigible is heading into a severe storm.
22:19However, no alarm is felt for the safety of the ship and her passengers
22:23as every precaution is being taken by Captain Bannister and his crew.
22:27I don't think this idea is so hot after all.
22:30Oh, there's nothing to worry about.
22:32That's merely your personal opinion.
22:34For goodness' sake, let's have some music.
22:37Come on.
22:38Come on.
22:39Come on.
22:40Come on.
22:41Come on.
22:42Come on.

22:52Come on.
22:53Come on.
22:54Come on.
22:55Come on.
22:56Let's have some music.
23:00Something's happened to the radio.
23:02The lightning struck it.
23:10The radio's gone dead, sir.
23:12Check your antenna.
23:18We're being blown off our course, sir.
23:20Dump the rest to the ballast.
23:27Captain, the ship's breaking up.
23:29Where is it?
23:30Where is it?
23:31I don't see it.
23:32I don't see it.
23:37Check the other sections and report back to me.
23:44We're falling.

24:52We're falling.
24:53Half the ship sank at the point where she crashed.
24:56What happened to the other half?
24:58The victory was built of successive layers of gas cells, Admiral.
25:02Only half of it has been found.
25:04I am of the opinion that the other half may still be floating through the air.
25:09Free ballooning.
25:10Could it be possible?
25:11Oh, yes.
25:12Like the acorn?
25:13We started eating before we ever went into the banquet room.
25:22They served delicious appetizers of caviar on golden brown toast.
25:28I passed up the soup and the fish and a lot of other things because I wanted to save my
25:32appetite for the roast turkey.
25:34You never saw such a turkey in all your life.
25:39It was stuffed with chestnuts and served with cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, plenty of
25:46giblet gravy.
25:48And for a side dish, they had barbecued ham with raisin sauce.
25:54You'll pardon me if I don't save this for dessert, but after 10 days of crackers, I'm
25:58sure that blackberry pie would give me a stomach ache.
26:07How did he guess we had blackberry pie?
26:09He didn't have to guess.
26:11You've told us about that banquet at least 20 times.
26:15Look out there!
26:19The land!
26:26Why is it an island?
26:27The wind is scaring us toward it.
26:29According to my calculations, there shouldn't be any land in this part of the ocean.
26:32Why, it's all covered with jungle.
26:45At the rate we're traveling, we'll be over the island in no time.
26:52Can't we bail out in parachutes?
26:54There aren't any.
26:55They were lost to the other part of the ship.
26:57Isn't there any way we can land?
26:59Well, we can let the gas out, but there's no way of controlling the ship.
27:03You mean we might crash?
27:06Well, anything is better than staying up here and starving to death.
27:10Let's take a chance.
27:14Let's go.
27:33The valve's broken. The gas is escaping too fast.
27:37We're heading straight for the island.
27:39We're bound to crash.
28:06We need to get out of here.
29:36We need to get out of here.
