- You have just given me an excellent idea.

You will confess everything and then

you will be hanged like gentlemen, at sunrise.

Thank you very much.

- What'd he say?

- Why don't you keep your big mouth shut?

- Are you going to hang her too?

- Of course not.

- What can I say, but thank you.

- I can't believe my ears.

Well, if you can't believe those ears,

you can't believe anything.

Put some guards around the house.

I'll immediately go and start

a crew building a gallows.

Oh, by the way... Now that I'm going

to be President, I'll need that outfit.

- Will you accompany me, my dear?

- But of course.

- I still can't believe my...

- Oh, shut up!

See if the guards are still out there.

He missed me!

Attention!

Attention!

Commander in chief, geographic station Tahiti.

calling Lieutenant Frazer.

Report your position.

8:
30 AM, wavelength 15 metres... Over.

Lucky I was hired to come here

as a radio operator.

Without Alecto I'd be sunk.

That reminds me.

He was just looking for you, Alecto.

- Where is he?

- Oh, over there.

Hello. Lieutenant Frazer.

Lieutenant Frazer!

Lieutenant...

For you.

Sounds like a dame.

Lieutenant Frazer.

Lieutenant Frazer!

Hello, snow white.

Don't tell me the dwarves are annoying you.

Hello, Jack. Listen to me.

You've got to come straight away.

They've started a revolution...

They're building a gallows...

They're going to hang everyone.

I need you! Do you hear me?

Change your course,

20 points to starboard.

One, two, three, four...

Let's go!

- Get away! Quick!

- Is this another one of your tricks?

- What do you mean, tricks?

- Sure, she's full of them.

- We go outside and the guards shoot us.

- You're wrong!

I just got rid of the guards outside.

I put a stone in my purse.

I went with Alecto only because one of us

had to remain free to save the others.

- What are we waiting for?

- Come on!

- No. I'm staying here.

- But we can't leave you here!

I've got to stay here

and send them in the other direction.

- Thank you very much, miss.

- Now hurry up! Hurry up!

- How did it happen?

- I haven't got time to explain!

You've got to run

and try and catch those brutes.

Did you notice which way they went?

- That way!

- Follow me!

There they are!

Follow me!

Hurry up!

They went this way!

Hey, look at that!

I think we're safe here.

Don't you?

He must have fainted.

What happened?

Chrie!

It's Chrie!

Stan, answer me.

Forgive me.

I didn't know it was you.

Please, look at me.

- How did you catch them?

- But I...

The girl is absolutely wonderful.

She has a stone in her bag!

Quick!

Get them out of here!

We're going to give the signal

for the show to begin.

As a token of thanks for your help,

without which I would never have succeeded,

I am giving you the honour of pulling the lever

that will drop these traitors into eternity.

Alecto! Alecto!

This girl is in cahoots with the traitors!

- Look where he's standing.

- What are you talking about?

She overpowered us

and let them escape!

I don't get it.

I've just been checking.

We're exactly on the position

where the island stood.

- Oh, no!

- What do you mean, no?

- I don't want to be rescued by him!

- Why not?

He was too long getting here!

This world of ours

is definitely no fair place

but people go on living just the same.

Chrie Lamour is finally

marrying her Lieutenant

And they look forward to many years

of happily married life.

Do you take for your wedded wife

Miss Chrie Lamour?

OK, OK!

- I now pronounce you man and wife.

- You jilted me.

I jilted you, you say?

Giovanni has gone back

to his native Italy.

Instead of building marble palaces,

he'll go on forever building fences.

Antoine has been brought back

to the boat from which he ran away.

Still anxious to give up this life of wandering,

he tries once more his usual means of escape.

But this time he's gotten

into the wrong sort of cage.

As for our two heroes,

after all their mishaps,

they've finally gotten their inheritance.

Their own south sea island and there

far away from all the cares of the world,

they settle down

to a well earned rest.

That was sure was nice of Frazer and Chrie

to land us here on our own real island.

Give us all this food and everything...

- Just like a fresh start in life.

- It certainly is.

And they're going to send us

new supplies every six months.

At last,

all of our troubles are over.

Yes, sir. Nothing to do from now on

but eat and sleep.

And nobody to tell us

what to do.

- What are you doing here?

- What are we doing here?

This is our island!

There must be some mistake.

This island has been taken over by the government

for insufficient payment of inheritance taxes.

Moreover,

you've also been fined for the delay.

It's my duty to seize

your supplies and food.

Take it away!

Well, here's another nice mess

you've gotten me into!

Well, I couldn't help it.

You're always blaming me for everything...
