WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:09.540 All aboard for the transcribed premiere production, the cruise of the Pall Parrot. 00:09.540 --> 00:14.380 That exciting story of a whaling cruise that turned into a hunt for buried treasure. 00:14.380 --> 00:17.920 Our friends now find themselves in just about the worst predicament they've encountered 00:17.920 --> 00:20.040 since the cruise began. 00:20.040 --> 00:24.220 Dirk Briscoe, who's been led to the diamond deposit on Galto Island by Red Mill Hooley, 00:24.220 --> 00:26.600 is now in full control of the mine. 00:26.600 --> 00:31.120 He's blasted the landslide with his own explosives and is taking the gems for himself. 00:31.120 --> 00:35.320 He has so firmly entrenched himself and his men about the mine that no attacking party 00:35.320 --> 00:37.040 could hope to defeat him. 00:37.040 --> 00:40.200 Not only that, Briscoe holds Captain Dalton prisoner. 00:40.200 --> 00:43.880 And though the crew of the Pall Parrot on the beach of Galto Island does not know this, 00:43.880 --> 00:48.000 he is preparing to exterminate all of them by hurling explosives in their midst with 00:48.000 --> 00:51.040 two big capitals he has constructed. 00:51.040 --> 00:54.840 Meanwhile on the beach, Mr. Grange is beside himself when he hears that Johnny and Sue 00:54.840 --> 00:59.040 have taken some of the Pall Parrot's own explosives from the beach and run off with them no one 00:59.040 --> 01:00.220 knows where. 01:00.220 --> 01:03.560 We now find Johnny and Sue around on the other side of the island. 01:03.560 --> 01:06.680 Johnny's arms filled with heavy ominous looking canvas bags. 01:06.680 --> 01:09.800 Oh, Johnny, do be careful. 01:09.800 --> 01:11.520 If you stumble, you know what might happen. 01:11.520 --> 01:13.160 I'll watch my step, Sue. 01:13.160 --> 01:17.280 Gee, I always said you were the bravest boy I ever knew. 01:17.280 --> 01:21.080 I never would have thought of taking those explosives around on this side of the island. 01:21.080 --> 01:24.640 Gee, I bet you would have thought of it in just a minute. 01:24.640 --> 01:28.720 This way, we can sneak in the cave that leads from the back of the island to the mine and 01:28.720 --> 01:30.760 get right underneath that brisco. 01:30.760 --> 01:32.720 Then we can set off the powder right underneath them. 01:32.720 --> 01:33.720 Well, they'd be surprised. 01:33.720 --> 01:37.920 But aren't you afraid Captain Dalton might get hurt if you blow them up from down in 01:37.920 --> 01:38.920 the cave? 01:38.920 --> 01:40.920 We've got to watch out for that, Sue. 01:40.920 --> 01:43.440 We just want to use enough explosive to frighten them. 01:43.440 --> 01:44.440 Yes. 01:44.440 --> 01:48.080 And then when they're caught off guard, we can free Captain Dalton and escape. 01:48.080 --> 01:49.080 Yeah. 01:49.080 --> 01:50.080 Gee, I hope it works. 01:50.080 --> 01:52.400 Oh, you'll make it work, Johnny. 01:52.400 --> 01:54.280 You've always been so brave. 01:54.280 --> 01:55.880 I know you couldn't fail. 01:55.880 --> 01:57.880 Gee, Sue, thanks. 01:57.880 --> 01:59.680 But there isn't anybody braver than you. 01:59.680 --> 02:01.880 Oh, you're just saying that. 02:01.880 --> 02:03.560 No, I'm not, Sue. 02:03.560 --> 02:05.120 You know how much I like you. 02:05.120 --> 02:06.480 Gee, maybe someday... 02:06.480 --> 02:07.480 Johnny, look out. 02:07.480 --> 02:08.480 You're going to drop the explosives. 02:08.480 --> 02:09.480 I almost did. 02:09.480 --> 02:10.480 Look, Johnny, right ahead there. 02:10.480 --> 02:11.480 The entrance to the cave. 02:11.480 --> 02:12.480 There's somebody on guard there. 02:12.480 --> 02:13.480 I should have thought of that. 02:13.480 --> 02:14.480 What are we going to do now?
