- No, wait a second.

- No?

- Come around this way.

- This way?

- That's it. Now brace your foot up, over.

- Over. That's it.

- That ought to fix everything, huh?

- Yeah.

- Sure.

That's not working very good.

Lady, lady, would you help here?

You just grab...

See my foot down there?

Just hold it. Pull it up. That's it.

Now get up on the table. Fine. Up and...

Now come over.

Bring this foot around here.

That's good. Hold it there.

Now hold my foot.

And I may be able to slip this one out.

No, hold it.

Hold everything.

Let me slip this one out.

Rick, it's going to be all right.

- Sure it is.

- Wait, we'll get another lady.

- You better... Here. No.

- Sure, we need another lady.

Give me this hand. Hold on there.

Now let go of that foot.

Good. Is there another lady?

That's fine. Here, you hold onto her.

Good, like that. Fine. Lady! One lady.

Here, could you get on the edge of the...

- It's gonna be all right.

- I know. I'm fine.

Get on the edge of the table. That's it.

Now, look.

Here, miss, just bend down over here.

Here. Give me your hand.

Good. Now hold onto him.

That's fine. Now bring this leg over.

That's fine. Bring that leg over.

No, bring this leg down here.

That's fine. That's it.

Now get... You... Look.

Just get that leg over in this side.

That's fine. Wait, no.

Bring it around there.

Can you help her with this leg there?

Maybe if she...

Wait, I tell you what.

I'll see you at the apartment later, huh?

I don't think so. I may have lunch here.

All right. See you later.

Oh, what a mess.

Wait a minute! Easy.

It's a dime. It's a dime.

That, gentlemen, is the final test

of our new power formula.

We can safely predict

our nation will be the first

to break through

the Earth's gravitational pull

and establish a space station.

Colonel Drury here has been in charge

of developing our secret power formula.

I'm afraid it's not a secret

any longer, General Traynor.

"X34 minus 5R1"?

But that's half of our formula!

My son bought that

at the corner newsstand last night.

You can't buy a top secret

at a corner newsstand.

The Murdock Publishing Company

in New York

disagrees with you, General.

Get me the Secret Service

on the phone immediately.

Yes, sir.

Yes, General,

I have the comic book before me.

I'll put two my best men

on the assignment.

This may be a clever way

of conveying our secrets to the enemy.

We must find out

if they have the remainder

of our space station formula.

Of course the United States wouldn't

publish top secrets in a comic book,

but the formula works to a point.

It's a trap. We cannot take a chance.

If this cartoonist has

the mathematic equations

to take a space station

beyond the Earth's atmosphere,

we must take the chance.

All right.

I leave it to an expert in these matters.

My dear Sonia,

where a man is concerned,

you have never failed.

This time you have to work fast.

Get to him quickly, directly.

Become his friend,

his closest companion.

Yes, gentlemen.

I am always their closest companion.

- Hello.

- Hello.

I'm looking for a man.

Well, they never let me

dress with the girls.

His name is Todd.

Oh, he isn't here. He's my roommate.

I'm Eugene Stackfull...

I mean, Fullstack.

Oh, here you are.

Thank you.

- Will he be long?

- I don't know.

Is there anything I can do?

I doubt it.

I'll wait.

I'd like to stay

and check my thermometer,

but I have to go see a man

about a costume.

Well, I tell you, we're a smash, Todd!

The presses are working overtime.

We're selling on the black market

in Boston.

I told you that that Zuba was all girl.

Look at her.

By the way, you've met my cousin here,

haven't you?

When you meet her,

you meet your whole family.

Family. I'm speaking of family items.

Look at this.

The Vulture brass knuckles.

It's guaranteed, no rust. Oh, yes.

And look at this, Rick.

Right according to your specification,

just the way you drew it.

The death-dealing

disintegrator atom gun.

Watch this.

Real nice, Murdock. Very nice.

A couple more issues,

and you and I

will make them forget Hitler.

Now, wait a minute.

Don't get squeamish, Todd.

Now, why don't you and your daughter

and your niece and your cousin

tell your wife off?

I'm through, Mr. Murdock.

I gotta go, go, go.

- Say goodbye to your uncle.

- But you...

What's going on down there?

Oh, Well, it seems like...

It looks like Todd told Murdock off

and he's leaving.

Of course, I can't see so well

from this rear window.

- Todd?

- Yeah.

Secret Service?

Look, I've been telling you.

Eugene dreams the space formula.

He doesn't know

what he's saying in his sleep.

We've got to know

whether he's got the rest of that formula

tucked away in his subconscious or not.

Go with Todd.

Check on Fullstack's dreams.

- Take the tape recorder.

- Oh, no, look.

If they go with me, then I gotta go

tell Eugene that I'm doing "The Vulture".

Then we'll be through as pals.

Can't they come after the ball,

when he's asleep?

All right,

but I'm holding you responsible.

Don't you let Fullstack out of your sight.

We don't want him

dreaming for our enemies.

Well, I'll stick with him, sir.

I appreciate your cooperation, Todd.

Who knows? The President

might invite you to the White House.

- Oh, I doubt that.

- Why?

I shoot in the low 70s.

Nothing. If he has

the rest of the formula,

he must keep it in his head.

- Get him to the laboratory tonight.

- Don't worry.

- Well, hello.

- Hello.

Mr. Todd?

If I'm in the right apartment,

I'm Mr. Todd.

I am Mrs. Thomas Curtis.

Your roommate let me in. He left.

You know, that's the smartest thing

he's ever done.

I've heard what a fine artist you are,

and I came to see your paintings.

Oh, it's beautiful.

lovely.

I like them very much.

Why, thank you. That makes two of us.

You see, I would like

to have my portrait painted,

and after seeing your work,

I am sure you could do me very well.

Well, thank you very much.

I'll do my best.

Now, what size portrait would you want,

full-length or bust?

Well, I had full-length in mind.

I'll show you what I mean.

You see, I would like to give it

to my third husband

as a surprise present.

My congratulations to all three of them.

What do you think of this pose,

Mr. Todd?

You could do a big calendar business.

Well, if you don't approve,

what do you suggest?

Oh, I'm not knocking it.

I think if you had this arm up

a little there...

That's it.

And head down.

Yes, yes. I like this much better.

You see,I want something intimate,

something I can hang over the bar.

Well, with you hanging there,

they won't need any liquor in the bottles.

Could you start working on me

right now, Mr. Todd?

Don't you think it's a little late for that?

We could go to my house.

My husband is away,

and we wouldn't be disturbed.

We would be quite alone,

just the two of us.

- Just the two of us?

- Hey, Rick!

Who's gonna put the ice on my neck?

Hey, Rick!

If I have a neck left.
