Let's go.

Let's get out of here!

My insurance!

Murph, they hit our unit!

Come on, let's get that thing!

- [Schuylar] Dexter, a car!

- [Dexter] Hold on!

[Cookie] We're in trouble.

The cops are getting closer.

[Arno] You're telling me.

I got it! Spray the car invisible.

[Cookie] Boss, you're a genius.

[Sirens wailing]

[Arno] Will you hurry up?

We haven't got all day.

[Cookie] There's no cop on earth

could touch us now.

Go to the right of that truck, Murph.

Slow down, it's an intersection.

Don't worry, Sarge, it's clear as a bell.

[Cookie] It's the cop's car!

How could he hit us?

[Arno] Because he didn't see us.

[Cookie] Come on, let's get out of here.

[Tires screeching]

- What'd you hit?

- I don't really know.

I bet they sprayed the car invisible.

- You know something, I think he's right.

- We hit something.

See you, Sarge.

Wait a minute.

Crazy kids.

Look out, Murphy!

Attention, all cars.

Bank robbers headed south

on Osbourne St. Near 10th.

- In an invisible car.

- [Dispatch] An invisible what, Sarge?

You heard me, I said invisible car.

There's a bunch of kids

in a dune buggy tailing them.

When you see 'em, close in. Out.

That's the problem with the department.

No imagination.

What's so strange about an invisible car?

Nothing.

We can't be too far behind him.

Keep your eyes open for anything.

There he is!

[Arno] Stop, you're gonna hit those guys.

[Cookie] I can't.

The kids are right behind me.

- There he is!

- Look out!

[Arno] Watch it, watch it.

Watch it!

- [Debbie] We're gonna get wet.

- [Dexter] Hold on.

- What'd you go up on the sidewalk for?

- Do you want to drive?

- There's no top.

- Be careful.

All right!

Sergeant Cassidy, come in please.

This is Sgt. Cassidy.

The invisible vehicle eluded us. He's

evidently following Fuller St. Out of town.

Have your men follow three abreast,

I'll have the highway patrol

set up a roadblock near the park. Out.

- Roger.

- He won't get away from us this time.

Not this time.

[Arno] They think they got us! Pull over to

the side of the road. Let the kids go by.

[Dexter] Those guys aren't doing anything.

We must've passed right by 'em.

[Arno] Now, Cookie, take us home.

We'll hit the showers and set up our alibi.

[Cookie] Okay, boss, but I hope you know

what you're doing.

What happened to the invisible car?

Probably let you slip by them,

then went back the other way.

But don't worry, we'll get him. In fact,

he's practically in our hands right now.

- [Cookie] We lost 'em.

- [Arno] Sure.

[Arno] Down the bridle path.

[Horn beeping]

- [Horses whinnying]

- [Horn beeping]

[Cookie] Hey, get them nags

out of the way here!

[Horn continues beeping]

He broke through the bridle trail

and headed down Peppertree Lane.

He's probably heading south.

I'll alert the Riverton police department.

In the meantime, your units

can head on down there.

- Right.

- Officer, can I speak to the sergeant?

- I'm sorry, it's for official use only.

- I gotta speak to him. He's all wrong.

Yeah, I'm sure of that.

All right, fellas, move out for Riverton.

- Where to now?

- [Dexter] To see Sgt. Cassidy.

- Why?

- Because I think he's wrong.

[Sirens wailing]

I wonder what Cassidy'll say this time.

Whoever did this is just like

any other crook. He's got the money.

Now all he wants to do is get

as far away from this town as possible.

If you ask me, he's on his way

to Riverton right now.

Arno's different. He'll want to come back,

become visible and establish an alibi.

Son, that's just a guess.

We've got this whole thing figured out.

It's about time you got here.

I'm sorry, Sarge. They had me out

looking for an invisible car.

I think the department's going nuts.

You do?

Come on, let's get to Riverton.

We might as well go on home.

We've done all we can here.

- Wait a second, we have to get my car.

- I forgot about that thing.

What do you mean, "that thing"?

[Arno] Look out for the police car!

That's him.

By golly, the kid was right, Murph.

Attention, all units.

Invisible car now going north on Osbourne.

How could you expect us to change the tire

when you haven't got a spare?

You could've patched it or something.

You guys had plenty of time.

- You can't patch that thing. Look at it.

- [Sirens wailing]

Wait a minute. You guys hear those

sirens? They must've found Arno.

It sounds like he's headed

for Highland Park.

- That's where Arno lives.

- Chester Ave. Is the only way in there.

If we block it off, we've got him

caged in, right? Let's go!

How am I gonna get there?

I got a flat tire.

Ride your rim.

- Come on, Schuylar, bring it over here.

- I'm coming.

- Schuylar, hurry up!

- I can't. I think I'm out of gas.

Come on, let's shove him in.

- Come on!

- [Dexter] Push!

[Arno] Is this as fast as this thing'll go?

[Cookie] I got it floored, boss.

I don't know what more you want me to do.

- [Arno] Go through there.

- [Cookie] Gotcha.

We're out of control, boss.

Let's go!

Oh, my God!

What's going on?

- What happened?

- You idiot!

- There they are!

- A pool.

- There's the formula.

- It's over there.

- Boss, I can't swim.

- Good!

Don't just stand around.

Let's get him out of there!

[Sergeant] Pull them out.

Get 'em over to the police car.

- [Arno] You stupid...

- Knock it off. Get 'em over there.

- Come on.

- Got it!

There still might be time.

Let's go. Hurry!

Look at him. The winner won't

be announced for five minutes

and there he is accepting congratulations.

The man is disgusting.

That improvement in the helio-spectrogram

was really something.

- I'm afraid he deserves to win.

- He does not!

If Druffle hadn't been bitten

by those bumble bees,

we'd have had this thing locked up.

He's winning by forfeit.

He's always pulling something like this.

The man's behavior is practically criminal.

Eugene, how nice to see you.

Hello, Collingsgood. Congratulations.

You can't congratulate me now.

There are four minutes left.

We don't even know who won yet.

There's Mr. Forsythe on the platform.

Will you excuse me?

I want to get close,

so I don't have to fight through the crowd

- when the announcement is made.

- Certainly.

He doesn't know who the winner

is going to be,

but he wants to be close, so he doesn't

have to fight his way through the crowd.

[Tires screeching]

I hope we're not too late.

[Dexter] Forsythe, wait a second!

Have you announced the winner yet?

- No.

- We've still got time then.

We got it!

The real formula got stolen

and we just got it back.

If you'll let us demonstrate,

it'll just take a second.

It sounds unbelievable, but go ahead.

Thanks. Okay, Schuylar, get over there.

Not with the invisibility again!

They're not going

to get away with it this time.

Okay, I'm ready.

If you just watch closely,

it only takes two squirts.

Stop that!

Sorry, Dean, I didn't mean to get it on...

- You didn't disappear.

- He's still there.

Of course, I didn't disappear.
