Short filmTranscript
00:00Junior G-men of the youth is justified by six courageous young Americans who, inspired
00:24by loyalty and love of their country, risk their lives in a bold raid on the hidden headquarters
00:30of the Black Dragon and expose the dastardly work of an army of ruthless, unseen enemies.
00:36The achievement of these youthful civilians, working hand-in-hand with the State Police
00:40and the Junior G-men, is a rousing trumpet call of encouragement and grim determination
00:45to the great Civilian Defense Army, eager to do their bit.
00:59Oh, Mr. Ames, Jerry Markham's been trying to get you on the phone.
01:22What did he want?
01:23I'm not sure.
01:24He said something about he and Ace Holden spying on those 5th colonists, said they were
01:27unloading some funny-looking cans from a truck and taking them down a manhole.
01:30Did he say where he was?
01:32Not exactly, but he did mention an alley in the warehouse district.
01:34See if you can trace that call.
01:36Yes, sir.
01:37We should have brought gas masks.
01:41I can't stand these fumes.
01:42Idiot!
01:43Put that match out.
01:44Do you want to blow us up before our work is done?
01:47Let's get down with it.
01:48I can't stand these fumes.
01:50All right, open the manhole cover, but keep your eyes open.
01:53Hey, Ace, can you see anything?
01:56A couple of dim lights.
02:02They're down there, all right.
02:03You guys wait here.
02:04We can't let you go down there alone.
02:05Go as I told you.
02:06I want to go.
02:07I want to go with him.
02:08Now hold him, kids.
02:14Come on.
02:16Hey, Ace.
02:17Hey, Ace.
02:26Come on.
02:52All Sumer is done for.
02:53Never mind him.
02:54Get out, quick.
02:56Come on.
03:11They're gone.
03:12We'd better get out of here or we'll be gone.
03:26You guys should have done a blackout.
03:28We'll get nowhere fast finding Eddie.
03:30I'm going to find him if I have to tear this whole town apart.
03:32Maybe we ought to get the cops to help, like Jerry wanted.
03:35Cops couldn't do any better than we're doing.
03:40I just spotted three of those thugs ducking into an alley.
03:43Well, let's go.
03:44Come on.
03:45Come on.
03:46Come on.
03:47Come on.
03:48Come on.
03:49Come on.
03:50Come on.
03:51Come on.
03:52Come on.
03:53Come on.
03:54Come on.
03:55Well, let's go.
03:56We don't need the truck.
03:57It's not far.
04:00That's the alley over there by the warehouse.
04:02Okay, well spread out and cover the block.
04:04Stick, you and Greaseball go that way.
04:05Bolts, you cover this side of the street.
04:06Keep your eyes open and whistle if you see any of them.
04:11Toby.
04:12Is our truck loaded?
04:13Oh, yes, sir.
04:14Rifles and cartridges underneath the vegetable crate.
04:17You drive it out to headquarters.
04:19We'll come with a second load.
04:25You could have gone through to the next gate.
04:27Yeah, they might have, but I don't think they did.
04:28What about Ains?
04:30I expected you'd be here with the whole police
04:31force behind you.
04:32Well, he wasn't in the office.
04:33Ah, cops never are around when you want them.
04:42That's one of them.
04:43He came out of the warehouse.
04:45How about looking the place over?
04:46Good idea.
04:47Hold on, wait a minute.
04:48Maybe we better call Ains again first.
04:49Yeah, sure, we'll send him a singing telegram.
04:51Come on, we can't waste any time.
04:53The guy just left in a truck.
04:55We want to see his boss about some vegetables.
04:56Oh, lots of men come and go all the time.
04:59Oh, we're talking about the fellow that just left.
05:01Lots of fellows are just a rift.
05:02You're nuts.
05:03This was one guy about my size.
05:05Oh, lots of men catching your size.
05:07Very nice a size.
05:09Well, I'll see you later.
05:10See you later.
05:11Bye-bye.
05:12Bye-bye.
05:13Bye-bye.
05:14Bye-bye.
05:15Bye-bye.
05:16Bye-bye.
05:17Bye-bye.
05:18Bye-bye.
05:19Bye-bye.
05:20Bye-bye.
05:21Bye-bye.
05:22See you later.
05:23Bye-bye.
05:24Bye-bye.
05:32Yes?
05:34Lock those boys in the cellar room, Baron Taurus.
05:37Oh, yes, sir.
05:38Will do.
05:39This man that are catching your size and were
05:41just leaving here.
05:42What'd he look like?
05:44Just what I said he looked like.
05:46Oh yes, I remember now.
05:48He's a type of officer downstairs
05:51I don't like the looks of this setup.
05:52Me neither.
05:53Not after that phone call.
06:22Through this room, please.
06:24Door at other end.
06:30What's his matter?
06:31You want to see both?
06:32Outside, you guys, quick!
06:34What's his matter?
06:35You don't want to know?
06:36Get over here, weasel.
06:38What's going?
06:39I just saw another one of that gang.
06:40This must be their hideout.
06:41Well, let's get out of here, quick.
06:42No, if it is the hideout, Eddie's here.
06:43I'm going to search every inch of this joint.
06:45Well, I'm with you.
06:46Where'd you see this gangster?
06:47In that window.
06:47He saw us, too.
06:48Then we're going to have to be on guard.
06:50Let's look around upstairs first.
06:51Uh-oh, he's down at the basement.
07:21We have 100 dozen cans of crab meat ready for treatment.
07:23Good.
07:25There is enough ground glass here to take care of all of them.
07:27Bring them in.
07:42It's behind that window.
07:51What do you think they're doing?
07:52Oh, probably mixing sprays and disinfectants for vegetables.
07:55They're going to poison them?
07:56Nah, sprays that kill worms and bugs like you,
07:58so you better hide.
07:59Hey, I think we're off the beam.
08:00This is no hideout.
08:02It's too open, too public.
08:03It could be.
08:04We've seen some of them here, haven't we?
08:06Well, sure we have.
08:07Hey, I've got it.
08:08I'll bet this gang is operating some legitimate business here
08:11to cover up their real activities.
08:12That makes sense.
08:14Come on, let's get out of here.
08:20Come on.
08:36Yeah?
08:37Ah, we're sunk.
08:38Let's scram.
08:40I never saw so many doors and windows in my whole life.
08:43Every time you look around, a guy looks at them.
08:45OK, we wouldn't let him get away this time.
08:50Here.
09:04There they go.
09:09Let's follow them.
09:16First we'll report to Mr. Ames.
09:17Report what?
09:18First, we report to Mr. Ames.
09:19Report what?
09:20You said it wasn't a hideout.
09:21Yes, but we promised to tell him if we saw any of the gang.
09:23All right, you tell him.
09:45Look out, H!
09:49What do you think of those guys?
09:50They're trying to wreck us.
09:51Yeah, they're trying to knock us off.
09:52Well, Ace, what do we do now?
09:54I don't know.
09:55What do you suggest?
09:56Let's go see Ames.
09:57OK, let's go.
10:11One of the gang was wearing that when they stole my truck.
10:13I grabbed it when they threw me off.
10:15What do you think it is, Mr. Ames?
10:17It looks like an emblem of a secret society,
10:20which ties in with my theory that we're
10:21dealing with an organization of spies and saboteurs.
10:24I still think they're just ordinary gangsters.
10:26If you'd brought this to me when you first got it,
10:28we might have had that gang on ice
10:29before they got your brother.
10:31Now listen, boys, I want you to tell me anything,
10:33and I mean anything, you find out about these men.
10:36What seems trivial to you may be important evidence.
10:39He's right, fellas.
10:40And you'd better search the warehouse.
10:42I doubt if we'd find anything.
10:43Now that they've seen you there, they'll be on their guard.
10:45But you're going to try, aren't you?
10:46Don't worry, Ace.
10:47Our men are already on their way over there.
10:49Then you really think this is the fifth column out there?
10:51I do.
10:52I believe they might be planning an armed uprising,
10:54timed with similar ones all over the country.
10:56They couldn't even get to first base.
10:58They do a lot of damage and take a lot of lives
11:00before they were stopped.
11:01Our enemies know that.
11:02They're planning our destruction all around us.
11:04Trouble is, we're too smart to believe that.
11:07We'd better wake up to that.
11:09This sounds very serious.
11:10Well, you can count on me if there's any trouble.
11:12But first, we have to find my brother.
11:14And we will.
11:15I just wanted you to realize that while the safety
11:17of your brother is important, the safety and welfare
11:19of our country are even more so.
11:21Yeah, I know my brother'd feel the same way about it.
11:23Of course he would.
11:24Now, you get busy on your part.
11:26Keep your eyes and your ears open.
11:27Keep me informed.
11:28Right.
11:29I can take orders and carry them out, too.
11:30You can count on me.
11:31Me, too.
11:32And me.
11:33Oh, come on.
11:34Come on.
11:35Come on.
11:36Come on.
11:37Come on.
11:38Let's go.
11:45Hey, sag, remember the dirt we found on that plane tire?
11:48Yeah.
11:49Did you get a report on it?
11:50I sure did.
11:51The farm droid says there are three
11:53locations where that type of soil can be found.
11:54That's a big hub.
11:55You know, there's an awful lot of dirt in this country.
11:58I know that.
11:59But one of the locations is in that valley
12:00where the plane burned.
12:01Now, what are we gonna do?
12:02Go out there and make mud pies?
12:03No, Mr. smart guy.
12:04We'll go out and match up the dirt.
12:05That may be just the clue we need.
12:06Well, let's go.
12:07a thing what we got to lose.
12:08I'm not going to let you get away with this.
12:34Just why haven't you started to work on your motor muffler yet?
12:37I'm making it for my country.
12:38A waste of patriotism, my friend, because all our plans are made to conquer it.
12:43That's a laugh.
12:44It will be, for my country.
12:46Yours is asleep.
12:47One surprise attack and it'll be ours.
12:49I'll get to work.
12:50Not if you kill me.
12:52That too might be arranged.
12:53Think it over.
12:54Hey, we lost the boat.
12:55Hey, Bob, Bob, are you hurt?
12:56Bring us here and the little birds are free again.
13:12Is this the kind of dirt you were looking for?
13:14Could be.
13:15Bolt seems to have every kind of dirt on him.
13:18Say, this does look like it at that.
13:20Oh, there's nothing around here that looks like a gang hideout.
13:23Thought it'd be a big joint with high walls, police dogs, and guards and stuff.
13:26This gang is too smart for a thing like that.
13:28They'd probably have some ordinary place.
13:30I like that place back there.
13:32Oh, that's a vegetable farm.
13:34Yeah, and the trucks those guys were using were vegetable trucks.
13:37Well, let's go get some spinach.
13:38My iron's low.
13:39You'll probably set up a lead in the seat of your pants.
13:41There was a gate back there.
13:42I saw a guy working on it.
13:43We could say we want to buy something.
13:45Yeah, come on.
14:16Hey, you got any vegetables for sale?
14:18No, only sell wholesale.
14:20That suits us.
14:21We always buy wholesale.
14:23We sell market.
14:24You buy there.
14:38You know, that guy sure acted suspicious.
14:40I'll bet you that's the place.
14:42Yeah.
14:43You see that rifle leaning against the fence?
14:45I want to get in there and take a look around.
14:47I got a very funny feeling Eddie isn't far away.
14:49I'll pull up as soon as we're out of sight.
15:01One of you guys stay here.
15:02How about you, Stick?
15:03Suits me.
15:13Isn't that the holding kid's truck?
15:17So help me, it is.
15:19The kids have located our hideout.
15:28The men to the city came right now.
15:30Turn around.
15:32They followed the gang in a car.
15:33Bob's headed them.
15:40That's them, all right?
15:41They're turning around.
15:42Let's get out of here.
15:44Eight, six, five, four three, two, one.
15:53Turn around.
15:54We're all set.
15:56On move.
15:57On move.
15:58Jordan, Mario, get a hold of the guys.
16:00I'll go and fix the road.
16:02Boys, this is how it should be, get it.
16:04Are ya R.A.W.dy?
16:05Yeah.
16:06That's their name, ain't that right?
16:12Don't you catch that wreck?
16:23That's no wreck.
16:24It's a hopped up jar that's faster than anything we've got.
16:33AK calling SM.
16:40Come in, SM.
16:41SM.
16:42SM talking.
16:43Go ahead, AK.
16:44Truck ahead of us on South Road.
