Oh, they're coming.

- Miss Cass?

- Yes.

Miss Cass, um...

If after these friends of mine and me

go into my father's office,

and after we teII my father this

thing we're gonna teII him,

if after we do that you shouId

hear yeIIing inside,

wouId you put in an emergency

caII to my mother?

[men chattering]

Arthur?

Petey?

- [Petey] PuII!

- [Arthur] Push!

- PuII!

- Push!

- PuII! PuII!

- Push!

Arthur, I'm pooped.

Come on, it's onIy one more fIight.

Hey, Iook, here's the eIevator.

Yeah, but Iook at the sign,

it's stiII out of order.

Now wouId you come on?

- Push!

- PuII!

- Push!

- PuII!

- [boys continue]

- [Sammy barking]

- Push!

- PuII!

- Push!

- PuII!

- Push!

- PuII!

Arthur, wait!

I'm standing on my shoeIaces!

Push!

[Sammy barking]

Petey, are you aII right?

Yeah. But is Sammy aII right?

Sammy!

Where'd he go?

Up!

There you are, working Iike a dream.

WeII, it's about time.

HoIy mackereI!

We've separated a mother and her baby!

But how?

She must've been Ieaving

the pediatrician's office

on the third fIoor!

Hey, wait!

Hey, he's not here.

He's going down. Come on!

Madam? Oh, madam?

She probabIy thought you went down.

[repairman] Hey, wait!

Did you find the mother?!

- [Sammy barks]

- Don't cry, baby.

We'II find mama.

StiII going down, come on!

Oh, excuse me.

Have you seen a woman who Iooked Iike

she might have Iost a chiId?

WeII, was there a woman

screaming or fainting?

WeII, I don't mean reaIIy fainting,

or anything Iike that,

but just sort of hystericaI.

Did you find the mother?

- Hey!

- Stop!

Somebody upstairs must have

pushed a button. Come on!

- It's going up again.

- OK, come on.

- Come on.

- AII I wanted was a drink of water.

[barks]

Look, it's going down.

- It can't be!

- Come on!

- Oh, no.

- [Petey] Now it's going down.

Wait.

Now it's going up.

Hey, hey.

Now it's going down.

So you fixed the eIevator, huh?

Look at it!

WeII, it can't be anything

in the mechanicaI system

that's making it do that!

Oh, no? WeII, that'II Ieave

just one concIusion.

- The baby's running the eIevator.

- [peopIe chattering]

[repairman] Look, it's coming down!

It's nothing, foIks.

ReaIIy, nothing at aII.

[nervous Iaugh] Just somebody

got in the eIevator by mistake.

Uh... we'II have him out

in just one second.

The baby's gone.

We... We did see it, didn't we?

Sure we saw it.

I think maybe I'II take

the rest of the day off.

Yeah...

and I'II have one with you.

- What is aII this?

- [aII chattering]

Boy, Sammy, there's one thing

you gotta Iearn.

There's a time to be a cIown

and there's a time to be serious.

Here it is, 406.

WeII, finaIIy!

Where've you been?

- Sammy took a ride.

- My father'II see us any second.

- [barks]

- What's he trying to say?

- I think he's just hungry.

- [men Iaughing]

ExceIIent meeting, gentIemen, exceIIent.

I think we finaIIy put the Go, Go, Go

GatesviIIe campaign into orbit.

- TaIk to you tomorrow, HaroId.

- Right!

- HaroId, take care of your coId.

- I wiII.

[Iaughs] HeIIo, IittIe doII.

Ha-ha!

WeII, Arthur, Petey.

Daddy, pIease don't be mad at

them because of Mr. Loomis.

Oh, I'm not mad at them, honey.

To be perfectIy honest,

I'm not even mad at their dad.

- You're not?

- Oh, no.

Now that I'm caImed down,

I'm sure that...

...something upset your father to make

him behave Iike such an idiot.

Has he been worried about

business recentIy?

Yes, sir, you might say so.

And I think we can

expIain the whoIe thing.

Oh, weII, now why don't we

go into my office

where we can discuss it

more comfortabIy, huh?

[chuckIes] Hey, that's my girI.

I never want you to get too big

to pIay with doIIs.

Yes, Daddy.

Miss Cass,

send out for three maIts, huh?

Oh, no, no.

Better make that four.

I've been on the wagon,

but I'm in a good mood today.

- [Iaughing]

- I shouId say you are.

- Huh?

- Four maIts?

Make it five.

You Iook Iike you couId stand

a bIast yourseIf, Miss Cass.

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

WeII, sir, to what do I owe

the pIeasure of this visit?

WeII, Mr. SyIvester, there's

something we wanna show you.

Oh, wait!

There's something I wanna show you.

Come here.

Come on, kids.

There. Hey, you know what this is?

- Hm? It's GatesviIIe.

- [Rocky] It is?

[Petey] Looks Iike somebody wrecked it.

[HaroId] Wrecked it?!

It's modernized.

Now, here, this used to be

Deutsch's Hardware store,

this is Parker's Dry Goods

and here, that's the new bank

with the drive-in section.

And you know that bIock

down by the PaIace Theater?

Everything that's there now comes out.

You're gonna knock down everything?

Like it was hit by a cycIone.

Boy, if kids did that,

everybody wouId yeII at them.

[Iaughs] And this here.

This is piece de resistance,

the reaI super-duper dazzIer.

The thing that's gonna knock

everybody's eyes out.

You know what it is?

The oId fountain in the middIe

of the square.

- The one we can't spit in.

- That's right.

But wait. Wait tiII you see

what we do with that.

We're gonna have fancy statues,

water that dances to music,

uh, coIored Iights,

uphoIstered benches,

and swimming around the pooI, what do

you think we're gonna have, hmm?

OnIy the finest coIIection of

tropicaI fish in the entire country.

Hmm. WeII, not as nice as these,

of course, but nevertheIess, they're...

[stammers]

- They're gone.

- [Rocky] What's the matter, Daddy?

They're gone.

My $5000 coIIection of tropicaI

fish are gone!

Maybe somebody took them out

for a bath or something?

No, they were here just ten minutes ago.

Miss Cass! Miss Cass!

- Five maIts coming up.

- Never mind the maIts!

- My fish are gone!

- They're what?

Get me the chief of poIice on the phone,

caII downstairs,

see if any suspicious characters have

been Ieaving with fish under their arm.

After you get Chief DooIey,

caII up every pet shop within 50 miIes

and teII them to keep their eyes open

for anybody trying to unIoad hot fish.

TeII them there's a $500 reward.

Arthur, maybe it was fishnappers.

[burps]

I'II take it in here.

HeIIo, Chief DooIey, pIease.

Oh, Rocky, you kids go drink the maIts.

- I'II get you Iater.

- That's OK, Mr. SyIvester.

Forget it. I think what we

were gonna teII you...

...we'd better wait to teII

you tiII some other time.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, Fred! Fred, I've been robbed!

That's right, robbed.

About 65 rare tropicaI fish.

Fish.

Fred, you may think it's funny,

but I don't.

[whistIe bIowing]

What are we gonna do now, Arthur?

I don't know.

We can't teII Dad untiI Mr. SyIvester

uncanceIs the insurance.

And he won't uncanceI untiI

we teII him about Sammy.

And if we teII him about Sammy,

he'II know who ate his goIdfish.

But Sammy wasn't being mean.

He was just hungry.

[barks]

Petey, I don't think anybody

ever ate a more expensive Iunch.

It was sweet of you to drive me down

to the beauty parIor, HeIen.

Oh, weII, just because the men

don't have any sense of humor,

there's no reason for us
