Hold it, sir, right there.

General, this man says...

Hey!

You're not General Stilton.

- Frank.

- What are you doing here?

Frank, it's a nightmare.

Liz has been captured by Stallwood.

Have you been hitting the beer?

Stallwood of Supplies?

He's an agent for some guy named

Olympus, a power-crazed creep who's...

- He's holding her for ransom.

- Lucybelle, too?

Yeah, he wants that collar, Jake.

Its the collar or Liz.

- Where is she?

- Im going with you, Frank.

No, no, you don't want to get stuck here on

Earth. You're responsible to your mission.

- But Im the reason for the mess they're in.

- Do you know where they're taking her?

- Place called Dailey's Airport.

- Do you know where it is? Let's go.

- Frank...

- Jake, you're going home.

Now, get in there.

So long, buddy.

Yeah.

Let's go.

5. 4

3. 2.

ignite.

Bye, Jake.

Drop us a card.

OK, you clowns.

Let's move it. Let's go.

Jake!

Jake, this is insane.

You're here forever, on Earth.

You're wasting time.

The airport!

General, look!

(General) Good heavens!

That's my car.

Get the police on the radio.

- Hello, Sequoia?

- Turn around!

Here comes a car.

Its Wilson.

Yeah, and Link.

And the cat!

They're here. They've come.

Naturally.

You knew they would.

You knew it. We've won.

Now they will have turn over the cat

and we will turn over the girl.

We will?

We won't?

it may be difficult to explain your part in this

after the young lady's gone to the police.

Oh, dear.

You wouldn't dare?

Frank, that must be the chopper.

(sirens wailing)

Its the police, sir.

Its a trap.

The fools!

Get us airborne.

(Jake) Watch it!

- They're getting away!

- Yeah.

But look who's arriving -

the army and the police.

We have to follow that copter. What kind of

an airport is this? Where are the planes?

Follow me.

Oh, you can't fly this, Jake. Its a wreck.

Look at that propeller - it's half gone.

- Are you coming or staying?

- Im coming.

Im staying.

OK, tovarisch.

Ponimayete po-russki?

- Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

- Parlez-vous Francis?

- What?

- All right, Dr. Garbage Expert.

Who's your accomplice?

Who's flying that plane?

Uh...

General, you're not gonna believe this.

There they are.

- Its Wilson and the cat.

- How did they get that wreck in the air?

The power that cat possesses is awesome.

You betcha, Charlie, and if you know

what's good for you, you'll land...

- Quiet!

- OK.

Faster, Omar, faster.

Get close.

Use the collar to force them to land.

No chance. Its taking all l got

just to keep this crate flying.

Don't panic.

We'll think of something.

What's happening?

Why aren't they doing something?

Of course!

They're afraid of harming the girl.

Turn on them, Omar.

The advantage is ours.

What's happening?

Why are they turning around?

Straight at them, Omar.

Drive them down.

Frank!

Jake!

(Frank screams)

Jake. Jake.

Jake! Jake.

Jake.

Turn this thing over.

Jake.

Jake.

Jake. Jake!

Jake. Jake!

Frank, are you OK?

- What are they trying to do?

- Force us down.

They probably figured out

that we've got a problem.

Hold on.

Here they come.

- They're still on our tail.

- Don't panic.

On top of them, Omar.

Smash them down!

Whoa!

(Jake) l see 'em.

l see 'em.

Look out. Jake! Jake!

- Here they come again. Jake.

- Yeah, yeah.

Fruitcake. Frank, watch out!

Jake, Jake.

(Jake yowls)

Uh-oh.

Oh, boy.

Jake.

Oh, dear.

Jake.

Break off!

(gasps)

Buzz them again, Omar,

and this time, everybody open fire.

(gunshot)

(coughing)

- What happened?

- You happened, you imbecile!

- How bad is it, Omar?

- He got the controls. They're locked.

When the fuel runs out, we're through.

Shall we bail out?

We have no choice.

Bail out?

Where are you going?

l haven't got a parachute, either.

- Then you have a problem.

- l haven't got a parachute either.

Then you have the same problem.

Wait! No, wait!

Wait a minute!

l d... l don't want to die!

Oh, swell.

Frank!

Frank!

(groans)

Yes, Mr. President.

Absolutely, Mr. President.

We're just waiting for them to land

and we'll pass that on.

- Yes, sir.

- What'd he say?

Jake is to be treated as

the representative of a friendly power,

with generous borrowing credit.

In exchange for bases, of course.
