"Post number 1 ." "Post number 1 calling." "Two men in small boat entering south channel." "We have them in view." "Sentry number 2 calling post number 3." "Unauthorized craft approaching main channel." "I hear them now." "Intruders approaching main lagoon." "Appropriate action will be taken." "Prepare to execute plan A." "All is ready." "They are in position." "Detonate the mine." "It is done?" "lt is done." "Good." "Report to central area." "All personnel all personnel, remain in your protected areas during testing of total missile retraction." "After retraction, all scaffolding must be removed before dawn tomorrow." "Come in." "Yes?" "Dr." "Quest?" "I'm Dr. Quest." "What can I do for you?" "I am Lieutenant Sing, Quetong Police." "Commissioner Wah, my superior, sends most humble apologies for this rude interruption." "And what can I do for you, Lieutenant Sing?" "It is matter of extreme urgency, Dr. Quest." "The commissioner begs that you accompany me to his office with the utmost speed." "What seems to be the trouble?" "This lowly person cannot reveal." "Must see Commissioner Wah." "Where are we going?" "The local police station." "Yes, I have to see Commissioner Wah." "You don't mind Mr. Bannon and the boys coming along?" "Not at all, Dr. Quest." "They are most welcome." "Follow them." "And do not lose them." "l will not lose them." "Hurry, then." "In view of recent events, we feel most fortunate that you are here, Dr. Quest." "What do you mean?" "Lately, many people living in the Swamp Lake area have become sick eating the Quetong fish from the lake." "The same fish they have been catching and using for food for centuries." "Strange." "And stranger still is fact that no investigator sent to the lake has returned." "You say you've lost four men in this area?" "Yes, Dr. Quest." "We feel something sinister, something criminal, is going on but we've made no progress." "We are completely baffled." "We need your help." "We'll be glad to help in any way we can." "Thank you, Dr. Quest." "Lieutenant Sing." "Yes, sir." "Give Dr. Quest the complete file on our investigation to date." "Yes, sir." "And see to the removal of Dr. Quest's baggage from the ship." "Have everything taken to the hotel." "is there anything else you need, doctor?" "Yes, I'd like one of the fish from the lake for analysis." "One will be sent to your hotel." "Doctor?" "Yes, commissioner?" "If you succeed, we will be most humbly grateful." "That completes the report on Dr. Quest and Race Bannon." "Will that be all, general?" "They must not interfere." "Make certain of that." "They are being watched." "We have covered all areas." "Good." "Report all moves." "I hold you responsible." "So this is Quetong. lt's beautiful." "Yes, there's something about the Orient captivating, but at the same time, sinister." "Like this fish." "It may hold part of the answer to our mystery." "I'll get it." "Yes, yes, bring it in." "Hey, it's our luggage." "lt's about time." "Take your bags into your room, boys." "Hand me my lab kit, will you, Race?" "Here you are, sir." "Doctor, did you get a new bag?" "No." "Which one?" "This one." "lt's not mine." "lt's not mine." "l never saw it before." "Stand back, everybody!" "Look out!" "Quick thinking, Race." "Not a second too soon." "A bomb!" "Where did you get that bag, porter?" "Speak up." "From police." "They bring to hotel." "Whoever planted that bomb did it before the police picked up our luggage." "Who'd pull a stunt like that?" "Whoever is responsible for the contamination of the Swamp Lake fish." "It's okay, Bandit." "You can come out now." "It wasn't anything serious." "Just a little old time bomb." "Oh, boy." "What a hero you are." "Doctor, did you say "contamination"?" "Yes, Race." "This fish contains enough meslanide to kill a man." "Meslanide?" "Isn't that a chemical used in missile fuels?" "Right. lt's also highly toxic." "Poisonous enough to keep any fisherman out of the Swamp Lake area." "Four policemen who went there to investigate..." "...have failed to return." "l get it." "Someone wants people out of the Swamp Lakes of Quetong." "Apparently." "l don't get it, Dad." "Why?" "That's what we're gonna find out." "You mean, we're going there?" "Not "we." Just Race and I." "You boys are staying here." "I know, where we'll be safe." "The portable television camera's switched on, Race." "Fly straight and level." "We'll see what we can pick up with it on the view-com." "Right, doctor." "Very good." "Now to contact the boys at the hotel." "Can you hear me, Jonny?" "Yes, Dad." "See you too." "Good." "I can see you clearly." "ls the tape camera ready?" "All ready, sir." "Shall I turn it on?" "Yes, Hadji." "I'll switch over to the portable TV camera." "Record on tape everything we transmit." "Okay, Dad." "Over and out." "What's wrong, Bandit?" "Hey!" "Cut it out, you big ape!" "Run!" "Run, Jonny!" "l can't!" "That's enough for now, Race." "Let's swing around and head back. I'll tell the boys." "That's strange." "Jonny?" "Jonny?" "Hadji?" "What's wrong, doctor?" "They're gone." "Gone?" "Yes, come on." "Let's get back there, and fast." "Jonny?" "Jonny!" "Look, the tape camera." "We'd better check it." "Doctor, the tape playback is plugged into the view-com." "Good." "Let's have a look at it." "That looks familiar." "Yes." "Look. it's Jonny and Hadji and Bandit." "Hey, that's Lieutenant Sing." "Lieutenant Sing?" "Turn it off." "So Sing is an enemy." "And he's got the boys." "We've got to hurry." "He doesn't know we saw the tape." "We'll trick him into leading us to the boys." "Quetong Police." "Lieutenant Sing." "Hello, Dr. Quest." "Why, no, doctor." "I have not seen the boys since we left the commissioner's office this morning." "Perhaps they went out for lunch." "Boys get very hungry, you know." "We have evidence that shows they left the hotel with you." "Stay where you are, Sing." "We're coming to see you." "I have a feeling Sing will be out any second." "Here he comes." "Now he's in his car." "Let's go." "We don't want to lose him." "There he goes." "I see him." "Boy, he's moving." "He's seen us." "Yes, and he's panicked." "He's taking us right to Swamp Lake Road." "Okay, since he's seen us, let's get him." "Race, look out!" "That was close." "Where's Sing?" "I'm afraid we've lost him." "There he goes." "l see him." "Better take her up, Race." "Sing's having trouble slowing down." "It's no use, Race." "Stand back!" "We can't get near that fire." "It's Sing." "He was thrown clear." "Get my bag, quickly." "He's coming to, doctor." "Sing, where are the boys?" "Am I dying?" "l don't know." "We've radioed Commissioner Wah." "He's sending an ambulance." "Where are the boys?" "Boys?" "Speak up, Sing." "Where are the boys?" "ls he dead?" "No, not yet." "Better get him to a hospital." "lt'd be best if he were to die." "If he lives, he will be shot as a traitor." "Driver, bring the stretcher." "Commissioner, we have Sing's full story." "I think we can put an end to the mystery of Swamp Lake tonight." "What do you think, doctor?" "Sing was pretty incoherent with his babbling about blockhouses..." "...and plans to set up secret missile bases." "l know. lt's not much to go on..." "...but we've got to find the boys." "l wonder what Sing meant when he said:" ""The trees have eyes."" "That may be your answer, up ahead." "A sentry post." "The trees do have eyes." "Sing's talk is beginning to make sense." "Yes. I think I can get him from here." "You got him." "Yes, with that anestha-dart in his arm he'll be out for quite a while." "Come on." "Let's go." "That's two more down." "That stuff works fast." "Post number 6 calling post number 5." "Answer." "Is anything wrong?" "Over." "Post 5, come in." "Come in." "Over." "Post 5 here." "Everything under control." "You know the rules." "Strict silence must be maintained." "Out." "Over there." "Two of them." "Take the gun." "I see them." "Good." "You got them both." "Look, Race." "There's the blockhouse." "Think you can get him from here?" "I don't know. I'll switch to full power." "I'm afraid he's out of range, Race." "Yeah. I guess we'll have to take care of him the hard way." "Careful, Race." "Right, doctor." "I must have hit him." "He's been asleep all this time." "Here, how about trying this on for size?" "Good idea, Race. lt might get us inside." "Good work, Race." "Come on." "Let's get inside." "That gas will keep them sleeping long enough for us to find the boys." "Doctor." "Looks like the intake for their air conditioning." "Very good, Race." "Put your gas mask on." "We'll put the whole place to sleep." "How about the boys?" "The gas is harmless." "Just makes them sleep." "Now, we'd better split up and find them." "Thank heaven the boys are safe." "They'll wake up as soon as I get them outside." "Not so fast, Dr. Quest." "General Fong?" "The same." "But I, too, have a gas mask, doctor." "And I will thank you to remove yours and join our young dreamers." "Hurry." "My finger grows impatient." "All right, Fong." "Drop the gun." "Now remove your mask." "And hurry up. lt won't hurt a bit." "Get the boys and Bandit out into the fresh air." "l'm going to have a look at that missile." "We're on our way, doctor." "Let's see, now. "Silo elevator."" "Oh, boy." "Where am I?" "Steady, Jonny." "Race, what happened?" "We had to put the whole place to sleep, including you three." "Bandit's okay." "And I think I am." "What's that noise?" "Your dad's in the missile control room." "ls he going to shoot it into space?" "No, I don't think so." "Watch." "Wow!" "What a monster." "Let's go, boys." "General Fong and his gang will be waking up any minute." "What?" "Attention, all personnel." "Intruders are escaping." "Intruders are escaping." "They must be intercepted." "Do you hear me?" "Do you hear me?" "Post number 4." "We hear you." "Strangers are leaving main lagoon now." "Will alert other posts." "Post 4 calling post number 5." "Come in, post 5." "Come in, post 5." "Come in, 5." "Over." "Post 5 here." "Intruders are escaping." "They must be stopped." "They must be stopped." "I am ready." "Keep down, everyone." "How about a little more speed?" "Sorry, doctor." "This electric job's built for silence, not speed." "Never mind your rifles." "Kill them all!" "Blow them up!" "Use the mines!" "The mines!" "They must not get away!" "The intruders are approaching." "Now!" "Wow, that was close!" "Fools!" "Fools, can't you stop them?" "!" "If they escape, all my plans will be ruined!" "Calling post number 1 ." "Be ready to detonate your mine." "Too late." "The strangers' boat has already passed by." "You let them escape!" "It's all your fault!" "You will pay for your carelessness!" "Wow!" "What was that?" "That was the end of General Fong." "Look, someone's coming." "It's Commissioner Wah with a boatload of police." "Too bad they missed the party." "Yeah, but so did we." "We slept through all the action." "Now, what do you call that outfit?" "Bandit's all prepared for the next time." "He doesn't want to miss out on the action either."
