a brilliant idea.

- Have I?

- I believe that I have a way...

...to raise some money for Grant.

- Swell.

- Let's take a walk.

- Where are you going?

To raise some money for Grant.

Gee, that's a great idea.

Won't he be surprised?

- Wait a minute. Hey, mister.

- Yes, sir.

- How much are bananas?

- Five cents a pound.

Let me have a pound.

Here you are.

There you are, sir.

Come on.

Let's go back to Third Street.

- We'd better go over to First Street.

- You bet.

- Just a minute.

- What?

Let's you and I take a little walk.

- What happened?

- Fifteen dollars.

Come on.

- Help me up.

- Hold that.

- Got a little surprise for you.

- Well, I've had several today.

The blueprints

of our friend's invention.

- How did you get them?

- A bit of money changed hands.

That's a duplicate set,

he'll never miss them.

- Is that so?

- I figure now is the time to step in.

His two friends have ruined his machine,

he hasn't got a dime.

And he'll probably sell his works

for hundreds.

- You think so?

- lf he doesn't...

...we'll have the blueprints redrafted,

make minor changes...

...and tell him to go jump in the lake.

You think we should steal

these plans from this boy?

Steal is a pretty ugly word,

Mr. Harlan.

I don't like your dealings, Worthing.

You're a crook.

- You needn't be offensive, sir.

- I'm trying to be.

And for your information,

I'm going to finance that young man.

- Gonna double-cross me, huh?

- Get out.

Very well,

if that's the way you want it.

Say, that's dangerous.

Somebody's liable to get hurt.

- They certainly might.

- They should move those...

Hey.

- What?

- Wait here for me. I'll be right back.

- Where are you going?

- To try and raise some money for Grant.

- Well, don't be long.

- I won't.

- Good luck.

- You wait here.

I'll wait right here for you.

I hope you get it.

- Have an accident?

- No, thanks. I just had one.

Oh, no. I mean

how did you have your accident?

Well, it sounds silly,

but I stood up on a roller coaster.

- Roller coaster?

- Yeah.

Didn't hurt much. A couple of weeks

in the hospital. I'll be all right soon.

- Did you have any insurance?

- Did I?

I collected a nice little bundle.

Thank you.

- We're going to the beach.

- What?

- We're going to the beach.

- I can't hear you.

I said...

Come on.

Two, please.

Hey!

Let's go up on top,

it's smoother riding.

That's a good idea.

And you can read

the signboards to me too.

- Where are we going?

- We're going to the beach.

- What for?

- To raise some money for Grant.

Say, after we get the money,

how about let's go in fishing?

All right. Do you know a good place?

Sure, I know a swell place.

You go through a fence

along the beach which has a sign on it...

...and it says "private."

And you go through a gate

which has another sign...

...which says "keep out."

Then you go further along the beach

and you come to another sign...

...and it says "no fishing."

That's the place to fish.

They come about that long...

- Grant!

- What's happened?

Everything. Dad knew the machine

was yours all the time.

He's terribly impressed

and he's going to back you.

- What?

- That's right.

George Worthing was going to steal

your invention.

Daddy told him

to get out and stay out.

- I can't believe it.

- Don't you see what it means?

Do I.

Say, we've got to tell

Stanley and Oliver.

- They're sitting around broken-hearted.

- I've got my car.

- Come on.

- Okay.

Mad dog!

Mad dog!

Let me out of here.

That driver's awfully careless.

Why don't you look

where you're going.

Go down and tell her

how to be a little more careful.

- Okay.

- And tell her I said so.

Why don't you be...

- Did you tell her?

- I couldn't.

- Why?

- Well, she wasn't there.

- In fact, we're the only ones on the bus.

- Is that...?

Oh, well, we'd better get out of here.

Come on.

Oh, wait. My foot's caught.

Oh, I can't.

Go down and steer the bus.

And watch where you're going.

Hey, Stan, come up and get my foot

out of this rail.

Oh, get! Look out!

Hey, take it easy.

- What happened?

- Something blew up...

...and this went like that.

- Oh, look what you've done.

- Go down and throw out the gear.

- Good idea. You wait here.

I will, go on and hurry.

I told you to go down

and throw out the gear.

I did. I threw it out the window.

Stanley and Oliver

haven't been here all day.

That's funny. Stanley was to start

a new class of rumba this afternoon.

Maybe they're at Gabby's Beanery.

Let's go.

Okay.

Hey, Stan.

Oh, Stan!

Hey, Stan! Oh, Stan!

Hey! Come and help me!

I can't!

Come on. Come and get me.

And this is what happened!

That's terrible. If only we could have

found you in time.

Well, hurry up and get well.

If you need anything, call on me.

- I sure will.

- Not you.

Thank you, Grant and Trudy.

- So long, Ollie.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye, Ollie.

- Goodbye, Trudy.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye, Stanley.

- Goodbye, Ollie.

- Goodbye.

Come in.

I went out by mistake.

Will you sit down

and stop eating my fruit.

And take your hat off.

Don't you feel well?

My foot's gone to sleep.

Is there anything I can do

to make you comfortable?

What are you whispering about?

I didn't want to wake your foot up.
