[loud booming]

[playful orchestral music]

- The pocket sized consol really works, Dr Beaker.

Now try the engine noise suppressor.

[quietly humming engine]

[humming engine]

- Look out, Dr!

That was a close shave.

Maybe you'd better let me try.

- Eh, certainly.

Bring her in to land.

- I don't see her.

Where is she, Dr. Beaker?

- Up there.

Now to bring her down.

Right rudder,

down a bit,

slow into vertical.

Steady,

down,

down a bit,

motor's off.

Well, Dr Beaker, that's some gadget you've got there.

- Most satisfactory, I agree.

Well, if the test is complete,

I suggest we put Supercar away for--

- [Popkiss] No, don't do that.

- [Dr Beaker] I beg your pardon?

- You must take off for Caracan at once.

Prince Noweed Hassan is lying dangerously ill

after a riding accident.

- Caracan, that is somewhere in Central Asia, is it now?

- And somewhere so inaccessible that only Supercar

can reach it in time.

I have the medical supplies all ready.

- Gee professor, you mean we're gonna take

medical supplies in Supercar?

Just think, a trip across the world to help a real prince.

It's like something out of the Arabian Knights.

- Let's go then.

Have to refuel, but that won't take a minute.

Take her in, Doc.

- Of course, at once.

- Gee, I sure hope we find the prince in time.

- And how is the prince today?

- He is not well, oh most powerful.

I'm afraid he may die.

- That would be a tragedy for you, my dear,

but not, I think for me.

Indeed, it might be most convenient.

- You would not let him die.

[laughing]

- Fortunately the matter is not in our hands, princess.

There is nothing we can do.

Caracan has no contact with the outside world.

How can we help him?

- Then go.

You would see him dead, but I shall not let him die.

Go. - We will see.

- Tank's full.

Engine's charging at 15,000.

You got everything, Doc?

- Eh, I think so.

Eh, plaster, splints, Penicillin,

and Skepto Mycenae just in case.

- Good, in that case, let's go.

Fire one.

[blasting]

Fire two.

[blasting]

Ready professor? - Ready, pilot.

Roof doors opening now.

[playful orchestral music]

- You okay, Jimmy, Mitch?

- Sure, Mike.

I'll see he behaves himself.

[monkey chattering]

- Full throttle vertical.

[playful orchestral music]

You know where we're going, Doc?

- Eh, certainly.

Caracan is only about four hours away.

It maybe difficult to find, you see, it's so isolated.

- We better get roughly to the area and

search around ourselves.

Is that it? - I'm afraid so.

- Well, it won't be the first time.

Supercar always breaks new territory.

Should be somewhere near by now, Doc.

It's getting late.

- I sure hope Mike finds it soon, Mitch.

We must be hundreds of miles out in the desert

and there's no one to help us.

[monkey chattering]

I guess that's why this is the sort of job

only Supercar can do.

Ordinary planes couldn't get this far.

- I think I see it, Doc. Over there.

- Yes, there's something.

- That must be it. Going down.

- What are we going to do, Mike?

- Well, this is how I figure it, Jimmy,

we'll look for the palace.

That's where we'll probably find the prince.

Then we'll go down and I'll explain who we are.

Then doctor Beaker can do his stuff with the Penicillin.

Right, Doc? - Certainly.

- Right, select vertical.

[Middle Eastern music]

I think this'll surprise him,

but I'll bet they'll give us some welcome

when they see what we've got on board.

- The light of a thousands suns.

- What is it, guard?

- I have seen a magic carpet, excellence.

It has come to rest in the palace courtyard.

- What is this fool's talk?

- It is the truth, oh ruler of the stars.

- Listen, fool.

Go back whence you came and let me hear

no more talk of magic carpets or by the prophet,

I'll have your ears cut off!

- Yes, excellence.

- That's funny, there's nobody here.

- Perhaps they're suspicious.

- Anyway, there's a door over there.

Let's try it.

We can leave the medicine chest in Supercar for now.

- Excellence, four people are coming this way,

oh sun of suns.

They have come from the flying machine

and one of them is a monkey.

- Dog, did I not tell you to speak no more

of magic carpets and flying machines?

And now you babble of monkeys?

[monkey calling]

What is that?

[monkey calling]

Bow this instant.

Bow before Olivebay, the region prince of 1000 kingdoms

and ruler of the sun and stars.

- Well, if you insist.

- Sorry to bust in like this, your highness,

but we've just flown thousands of miles

with medicines for Prince Norrad Hassan.

- Back infidel.

[gun firing]

You would lie in order that you should see the prince,

would you?

- The prince is sick, is he not?

- Now, hold it, Doc. This guy means business.

Okay Mr. Olivebay, we know when we're not wanted,

but I'd like to know why you don't want the prince cured?

- The Prince Hassan's health or life is no concern of yours.

Guard. - Magnificence.

- Lock these strangers up.

- Here, I say.

Just a moment. - Save it, Doc.

Better not argue with guns.

- Oh really.

I don't think much of your hospitality.

- These quarters are luxury for peasants such as you.

- But what about the prince, Mike?

We've got to try and help him somehow.

- The Prince Hassan, young infidel, is beyond your reach.

See across the courtyard?

[laughing]

You see that lighted window?

That is where the Prince Hassan and his sister,

the Princess Medina, are.

Not far, but for you, they might as well be 1000 miles away.

- But aren't you going to let us try and cure the prince?

- I have no wish that he should live.

If he dies, I rule the Kingdom of Caracan

and to make it more certain,

I shall marry the Princess Medina myself, tomorrow.

After that, I will decide what is to be done with you.

[evil laughing]

Until tomorrow then, happy dreams.

- We've got to try and help them, Mike.

- Hassan, my brother, you are awake.

I cannot understand it, but while you slept,

I thought I saw a strange flying machine come from the sky.

- A flying machine?

A dream surely.

- I am not sure, Hassan.

There is something strange below in the courtyard.

I can not see clearly.

- I think we're stuck, Jimmy.

If we could get to Supercar somehow,

it would be different, but we can't.

Unless anybody happens to have a file around here.

- No file I'm afraid, but we have this.

- How did you sneak that console in here?

- Well, it is supposed to be

a pocket sized console you know.

- That's great, Doc.

Now maybe we can do something about the prince.

- But how, Mike?

- Well, we can't get to Supercar because of these bars,

but Supercar can get across to the prince's room without us.

- It may be a little chancy in the dark you know, Mike.

- That's a risk we'll have to take.

Jimmy, get over by the door and listen.

Sing out if you hear anybody coming.

Supercar is going on a short pilotless flight.

Charging starboard.

This thing hasn't got a rev meter, Doc.

- No, a warning light will flash when

the engines are ready to fire.

- Okay.

[humming engine]

- Gee, I sure am glad we fixed that noise suppressor.

- You can fire,

now.

- Right, fire one.

Fire two.

So far, so good.

All clear, Jimmy?

- No noise, Mike.

[monkey chattering]

Quiet Mitch.

[monkey chattering]

Hush, do you want everyone to hear us?

- Better they should hear Mitch than Supercar.

Taking off now.

Half throttle, vertical.

- That sound, it is the same as I heard

when the strange flying machine came down.

- That's better.

She's up to our level now.

You left the first aid kit on the front seat,

didn't you, Doc? - That's right.

- Well, here goes.

I'm afraid the princess is in for a shock in a few seconds.

- Night of a thousands suns.

- Don't be afraid.

We have come to help you.

We have brought you healing medicine for the prince.

Come and take it from the seat of the flying machine.

I hope she's not too scared to do what we say.

Take the box off the front seat, princess.

- But, but I do not understand.

- [Mike] You will princess.

When you try the contents on the prince.

Quick, take the box before we're seen.

- All right, all right.

Whoever you are, I will.

I'm taking it now.

- Good for you.

Tell us when you've got it.

- I have it and thank you.

- Good girl.

She's taken it.

Now let's get Supercar down again before we're spotted.

- Mike, I can hear the guard.

I think he's moving away.

- I thought I heard the sound of that machine.

- Thanks, Jimmy.

Better get down fast, Doc.

- By the prophet!

It cannot be.

- Engines cut.

Operation complete, men.

Now let's play it cool.

- They have escaped, oh prince of suns.

The Americans have escaped.

- Oh, how can they have escaped, fool?

- I do not know, but they are flying their machine outside.

I saw it with mine own eyes.

- Take me to their rooms, dog.

We will see if you are dreaming or not.

I see no flying machine.

If you have brought me here on nothing, fool.

So, they have escaped, eh?

See for yourself.

- Check. - They are playing chess.

[monkey chattering]

So the Americans are flying around in their machine.

Perhaps they are going to the moon, idiot fool!

- But, but.

- But what?

You have been sleeping instead of keeping watch.

Now, tell me no more lies or I will have your head cut off!

- Okay Mike, they've gone, at least Olivebay has.

Now what?

- Now we try to get out of here, that's what.

- But how, Mike?

We can't get through those bars and

not even Supercar can do anything about them

without making a terrific noise.

- Oh yes it can, Jimmy.

I've got a little idea to take care of those bars.

- There Hassan, you are better already, I think.

I was afraid you would die.

- But for these medicines, I might have done.

But now, all I need is rest.

Where are the people who brought us this?

- I do not know, Hassan for I have not seen them,

only their wonderful machine.

As for them, I do not know where they are

or what they are doing.

- I reckon we could cut through these bars

in a couple of hours, Doc.

- If we had a saw, yes.

- Well, there's a file in Supercar's toolkit.

- Yeah Mike, but we can't get at it.

We couldn't squeeze through the bars.

- We can't, but Mitch could.

Couldn't you, Mitch boy?

[monkey chattering]

- Do you think we can make him understand what we want?

- We can try.

Jimmy, can you keep guard at the door again?

- Sure thing, Mike.

- Then here goes, charging port.

I'll bring her up here as soon as I can.

They may be on the lookout for us now.

Fire both.

Up she comes. [monkey chattering]

Right, I'll try and hold her steady.

Come on Mitch boy, show us what you can do.

[monkey chattering]

- Hurry Mike, I think I can hear the guard moving.

- I do not believe it.

I am not going to look.

- No, not a screwdriver, a file.

[monkey chattering]

- Come on, Mitch. Try again.

Fetch us the file.

- I think I can hear that flying machine again.

Listen.

- You are right.

- But what can they be doing?

- That is a wrench my dear chap.

Now try again.

[monkey chattering]

[breaking pottery]

- No, it is nothing.

By the prophet, I dare not look.

It can not be the Americans.

- Good boy, now don't drop it.

- Come back in, Mitch, here.

- Come on, Mitch.

We must have awakened the whole city by now.

- It is the American's machine!

[gun firing]

- Uh oh, trouble, better get her down fast.

- Hurry, Mike.

[gun firing]

- And what are you shooting at, idiot?

Do not tell me the Americans are escaping again.

- No, highness, that is, yes, they are.

I fired at the machine, excellence.

It was in the air outside the window of their room.

- Oh, we shall see.

[monkey screaming]

You dog, I am surrounded by fools!

They are still there.

- They,

they cannot be.

- You will remember this tomorrow.

I swear it. See for yourself.

[monkey screaming]

Now hear me well, guard.

I wish to sleep.

Tomorrow I marry the Princess Medina

and if you disturb me once more with stories

of flying Americans!

- But no, excellence.

It shall not happen again.

- Good.

Now stand guard and do not sleep.

[sawing] [playful orchestral music]

- There, that should hold our weight.

- But why not bring Supercar up again?

Climbing ropes isn't really in my line, you know.

- I'm afraid you'll have to this time, Doc.

If we're going to do anything about Olivebay,

we'll have to use surprise.

- You cannot get up so soon.

- I can and I shall.

Was this not the day Olivebay swore he would marry you?

- It was, but you are still too weak to stop him.

- He shall not do it.

I am still alive and by the prophet,

while I am still alive, I rule Caracan and not Eliot.

- And today I become ruler of Caracan.

Soon the city will awaken and at noon,

we will have a wedding.

In the meantime--

- Yes, prince of the sun?

- I have not forgotten your dreaming, fool,

but I have no time to attend to you now.

Go and fetch the Princess Medina.

I would speak with her.

- At once, excellence.

- Is it uh, safe?

- Of course it's safe, Dr. Beaker.

How do you think we got down here?

- Hurry Dr. Beaker, somebody may see us.

- Oh, very well.

I'm coming.

- No, this time I am not dreaming.

It is broad daylight and they are escaping.

[playful orchestral music]

- Eh, exciting, I admit, definitely exciting.

- Did you bring the portable console with you?

- I can't have left it up there.

Ah, oh no, it is in my pocket.

- Good.

I think Olivebay is in for a little surprise.

- What is it?

Where is the Princess Medina?

- Highness, I have bad news.

The Americans--

- If you tell me once more that the Americans have escaped,

I will cut your tongue out and feed it to the jackals!

- But excellence--

- Be silent!

I order you to be silent!

- Fire one.

Fire two.

- Why don't we go in Supercar ourselves, Mike?

- We've done pretty well so far with this gadget,

haven't we? - Sure we have, Mike.

- Then let's carry right on using it, huh?

Half throttle vertical.

- Why do you not obey me?

Go and fetch the Princess Medina.

- That sound, it is the Americans.

- Silence! I do not believe it.

[dramatic playful orchestral music]

It is their machine.

Shoot them. Shoot them!

[gun firing]

- [Mike] Drop you gun.

- There is no one there.

It is the devil.

- That's right, thank you.

- What? You have escaped.

[screaming]

Enough, enough, I give in.

- All right, Mitch, come down from there.

[monkey chattering]

Now, take us to Prince Hassan.

- No need, I am here.

Good morning, Olivebay.

As you can see, I am recovered thanks to these gentlemen.

and as for you--

- No.

Take it away from me, this animal.

I will go in peace.

[blasting engines]

- We thank you, Mike Mercury,

but for you, I might have been dead by now.

- I do not understand your machine,

but for us, it will always be the magic carpet.

- Well, I'm afraid there's nothing magic about Supercar.

- To me, Mike Mercury,

there will always be something magic about Supercar.
