Air Raid Wardens Page #4

---

no construction workers at the plant...

...and everyone in town

engaged playing war elsewhere.

You've done a good job, Herr Mittlehause.

You will hear from us soon.

Now, go on back to Huxton

and go about your business.

Gentlemen, are we ready?

- What do we do?

- We've got to stop those guys.

- We'll warn Dan.

- That's a good idea.

No, no, no. Out the window.

Now, how are we gonna

get word to Dan?

Let's call him up.

We'll tell him right away we're going to...

Put that down, that's a radio.

- What's this for?

- A carrier pigeon. Lock that door.

Get that pigeon.

Listen. "Dear Dan,

we are trapped on the second floor...

...of the Moonbeam Inn on Highway 51.

The place is a nest of Nazi spies.

They're going to blow up

the magnesium plant at 5:00.

Bring help at once. We mean it. Urgent!

With fondest regards, yours truly,

Laurel and Hardy, ex-air raid wardens."

How's that?

Now...

You've got to get up

early in the morning to fool us.

Throw it out the window.

- Does it know where to go?

- Now, pigeon, you go straight to Huxton.

Yeah, and find Mr. Madison.

He's the editor of the paper.

That's one of our pigeons.

We have enemies in this house

watching us. Come on.

- Who's there?

- It's Dan.

- We're rescued! Give me the key.

- I gave it to you...

Oh, did you? I don't remember

you giving me the key.

I'm sure that you're...

Just a minute, Dan. Be right with you.

I tell you,

you did not give me the...

So sorry, gentlemen.

We leave for the plant immediately.

Heydrich, you take care

of our friends here.

- When?

- At your pleasure, of course.

Come.

- Well, goodbye.

- Freeze.

Hey, you.

No, you.

Stop.

No!

Put that apple on his head.

Yeah.

Go ahead.

Now come here.

Turn around.

Here.

Now, shoot that apple off his head.

- I don't want to shoot...

- Go ahead. No monkey business.

- He's my pal.

- Go ahead.

Goodbye, Ollie.

Heil Hitler!

You...

Quick, the gun! Get...

You... You...

Get the wire. We'll tie him up.

- Just like Mr. Norton.

- That's right.

There we are.

- Now he does look like Mr. Norton.

- Yeah.

Oh, 4:
25. We'd better get going.

Come on.

Will you fix that thing?

Thank you.

Let that alone.

- What's the matter?

- I got something in my eye. Take the wheel.

Give me that!

Now look what you've done.

Get your hands off of that!

Come on and help me

push this thing up the hill.

Hey.

Come here.

Take this rope

and put it around that post.

Will you wait a minute!

You're always in such a hurry.

- This one?

- Yes, that's the one.

The only one up there.

Heave ho.

It serves you right.

Oh, hello. We want to apply for a job.

The plant's not in operation yet.

You'll have to come back next month.

What's going on here?

Herman, you take over here.

You've been trained for this job.

Now, take your time

and do it thoroughly.

Get to work.

- Are you ready?

- Just one more...

...then the cable to the plunger.

Give me two nickels for a dime, quick.

- Here.

- Thank you.

Here it is.

Operator 14. What is the incident?

Incident? Inc...?

She thinks I'm Mr. Norton.

Well, be Mr. Norton.

Tell her about the magnesia plant.

Oh, yes, incident. Ajax Magnesium Plant.

This afternoon, 5:00.

They're going to blow it up.

- And Mr...

- One hundred forty-five incendiary bombs.

- Mr. Hittle...

- Seventy-two casualties.

A hundred and fifty-six German

parachutists. All water mains broken.

Pestilence. Famine.

Everything. Be there at 5:00.

Don't forget. Goodbye.

Now what are you trying to tell me?

I was trying to tell you

about Mr. Hittlemouse...

It's not "Hittlehouse," it's "Mittlehause."

And what about him?

- He's not gonna blow up the plant.

- I know, but they won't catch him.

You see, he was with the air-raid wardens.

- Then if they...

- So what? He's with the air...

Come on! Thank you very much, lady!

But the Norton incident

wasn't at the magnesium plant.

That's where it is now.

Start with your auxiliary police

and firemen.

Everything's in work.

All units are being notified.

- Now, let's go.

- Well, I still don't understand it.

Come along, Captain Biddle.

Mr. Rittenhause. Mr. Rittenhause.

I heard some sirens.

They seem to be coming towards the plant.

Get out of here.

- Spread out your men. Police the entire area.

- Yes, sir.

- Rope off the danger zone.

- Yes, sir.

Play out enough hose...

...to cover the entire plant.

- Yes, sir.

Out the back way.

We'll connect out there.

We'll locate your emergency station...

...here in the watchman's shed.

- All right, Dan.

Stand by with Mrs. Norton.

Better work up a report

on the general situation.

Charlie, be sure you have

enough messengers for liaison.

Okay, Dan. All right, boys, stand by.

I don't know what this is all about

but it's good going, anyway.

- Thank you, major.

- Oh, Mr. Madison.

Mr. Madison, I opened the door...

...and there they were,

stretched on the floor.

They're real casualties.

- What happened?

- They slugged me.

- A whole car full of them.

- Take this man to the ambulance.

They went in the generator building

with dynamite.

Take care of him too.

Clear the area near the generator.

Surround the plant. Organize search parties.

Will you take over, major?

- Surely.

- Come on, Charlie.

- We better have a look in here.

- All right, but be careful. Come on, Charlie.

Check that doorway, Charlie.

Don't move.

- Hurry it up, boys.

- Ready.

Come on. Come here.

Look. Mittlehause.

- Look.

- So what? We're looking for Middling.

Come on.

Madison! What is the meaning of this?

- What's going on here?

- Mr. Norton, you're terrific.

- How did you know there were Nazis here?

- Nazis? Why, l...

I'm sorry, Mr. Norton,

if we had to change your incident.

- So you put in that call.

- We had to, Dan.

- I hope we didn't upset things too much.

- Well, I'll say, you didn't.

The only ones upset are the Nazis.

- We got every one of them.

- Oh, no, you didn't.
