don't know we might stop by Carter's

jewelry store and pick up a few diamonds

hey you know I know I don't have the

most fascinating hold penny look up

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

there what the

idea are you all

right I I I guess so

it's all my own fault I should have

looked where I was going it wasn't your

fault and it wasn't an accident I'll

take that it's my compact it must have

dropped from my bag when he grabbed me

well I wasn't intending to keep it of

course not it's just the compact is a

gift from an old friend and

[Music]

that you know I don't believe I've shown

my deep appreciation yet that is

necessary M blame Gloria blame how you

do and I disagree with you it's very

necessary in fact I won't feel right

until

[Music]

I there now I feel

better so does he uh Miss Blain uh my

car is parked right here could I give

you a lift why that's very kind of you

I'm stopping at the grover house I go

right by the front door on the way to

the

ranch

you know I don't believe I've shown my

deep

appreciation how mushy can you

get okay just because a lady takes a

fancy to me and I give her a lift to her

hotel you never thought about me

standing there holding all the groceries

to me it's very peculiar that your

friend Miss bla called her espresso

camera a compact very peculiar so you

noticed that too huh and unless I miss

my guess it's the same type of camera

the spies used during the w*r oh come on

Penny what are you trying to do make a

cloak and dagger thing out of this at

least you can wipe off the lipstick

before the boys at the ranch see

you where'd you get that I don't

[Music]

know Sky King calling the sheriff's

office Sky King calling the sheriff's

come in

please Mitch here Sky what's up Mitch uh

would you please check on a Miss Gloria

Blaine is staying at the gr house we

have a very valuable camera that belongs

to her you bet Sky I'll check on her

right away and call you back sherff out

[Music]

okay I still can't figure it maybe Mitch

can

so I guess it just sit back and see what

develops that's it what's it why didn't

I think of it right away think of what

this Sheriff calling Sky King Sheriff

calling Sky King come in

please Sky King here Mitch come in got

some bad news for you Sky Gloria bla has

disappeared from the grover house under

very peculiar circumstances her room has

been ransacked

do you have any leads not much but we're

working on

it okay Mitch keep me informed Flying

Crown

out this is what they were searching for

in Miss Blain's room that's how it got

in my pocket she put it there knowing it

wouldn't be safe with

her how long will it take about another

60 seconds then we may have the answer

to to all our questions you mean like

number one why she slipped that camera

into your pocket and number two what

she's doing here in Grover and number

three why that man tried to drop a

sandbag on her and number four wait a

minute young lady one thing at a time

let's see what's on the film first you

know there is a possibility there'll be

no pictures at all on

[Music]

this

see they're developed

sure what's on it Uncle Sky oh I don't

know it's pretty hard to see oh gosh the

film's so small I can't make out

anything well I can see a little bit

from what I can see I think I better

enlarge

these

boy what a let down here I was expecting

a well I don't know what I was expecting

but it sure wasn't a broken down house

and a postage stamp here take a look at

this last one maybe you'll feel

differently hey it's the song bird I

thought you'd be interested well how did

Miss blae get a picture of wait a

minute I've seen this stamp before do

you remember seeing Mrs Van Camp's

collection her stamp collection well

I've heard about it I guess everybody in

Grover has but I've never seen it well

there's no time like the present all

right but remember I promised Sue Barker

I'd be in Ellenville by 5 that's all

right I have an appointment at the

sheriff's office then too I'll drive you

over after we see Mrs Van

Camp I could be

wrong but there's one sure way to find

[Music]

out

there it is Mr King my treasured Cape of

Good Hope triangle right where it's been

for the past 50 years I had seen it here

before Mrs Van Camp you mean it's been

in this case for 50 years and will be

for 50 more I'm pleased to say Mr de Mo

famous stamp expert and I were arranging

for that just before you

arrive when I'm gone my house and this

entire collection will become a public

museum I trust that's in the far distant

future Mrs Van Camp right now my main

concern is to determine whether your

triangle and the stamp and the snapshot

are one and the same well if anyone can

answer that Mr deor can there isn't no

more qualified expert in the state oh

bless my soul lady I hope I can live up

to such praise I I really do the stamp

in this Photograph Bears a remarkable

likeness to the triangle a remarkable

likeness and yet and yet they're not one

them the same or they can't possibly be

why not as you see the triangle is

mounted with other Cape of Good Hope

stamps while the stamp on this

photograph is mounted alone so so it

couldn't possibly be the triangle that

was photographed as Mrs Van Camp has

pointed out has been in this case for

the past 50 years well if if it couldn't

be the triangle what could it be could

the stamp uh be a counterfeit

counterfeit now who would want to forge

a penny postage Dam bless my soul my

dear I'm afraid the triangle is worth a

bit more than that just about $5,000

worth more Penny

$5,000 and the triangle is far from the

most valuable stamp in this room why

this collection is worth close to a

million but as to forgery I'm afraid

that can't be either oh you see this

stamp was made by plates composed of

stereotypes mounted on wood they were

called wood blocks only one man Andre RL

could have Forge so perfect a duplicate

Andre raml yes and as you know he was

k*lled in that car accident 3 years ago

so that puts us right back where we

started Sky I hate to rush you but oh

gosh I got to get to Ellenville okay

Penny we're all through here anyway

Ellenville I'm driving back there now

I'd be happy to give you a lift oh thank

you I sure would appreciate it so would

I I have an appointment on the other

side of town

right gosh Mr de Moy I still can't get

over it one little postage stamp worth

$5,000 I always thought stamp collecting

was for children children true some boys

and girls have come up with stamps worth

thousands of dollars just chance

discoveries too oh bless my soul my dear

some of our most prominent people even

world leaders have been philatelists

stamp collectors their collections are

worth millions of dollars they made

fortunes with them they have indeed they

have take the former King of England for

example he had a truly fabulous

collection not to mention one of our

more recent presidents as a matter of

fact that house what that Farmhouse over

there see it yes I see it what about it

it's the same one that was in the

snapshot I beg your pardon oh stop the

car Mr de Moy I'm getting out

here but I don't understand of course

you don't because you didn't see the

snapshots I don't have time to explain

thanks for the lift Mr de

oh say when you get to Ellenville could

you do me a favor call my uncle sky at

the sheriff's office in Grover and ask

him to meet me here right away okay very

well I'll call Mr King but I still don't

think I should leave you here oh Sky

doesn't mind as long as he knows where I

am thanks Mr de Mo

[Music]

bye

[Music]

you see masi how unnecessary it is for

you to antagonize me so why don't you be

sensible and tell us where you have put

your camera you'll save yourself a lot

of trouble you'll never get away with

this r no and I'll never tell you where

I've hidden my

camera

[Music]

[Music]

well I've had an alert out covering all

the roads trains bus terminals in the

airport are you sure there is a glory

ban oh MIT I'm only kidding skot but

you'll have to admit that I'll admit

only one thing we seem to be getting no

place fast here

here do you recognize

that why sure that's the old Bailey

Farmhouse couple miles out of Ellenville

I'm sure these snapshots contain the key

to Gloria Blain's disappearance and

maybe a whole lot more come on out the

ranch tonight as Penny says we'll see

what develops okay

sky so that's the whole story

when an expert stamp forgery turned up

last year it led me to believe that

Andre RL was still alive in spite of all

the evidence of the

contrary so I convinced my magazine to

give me the assignment I've been

searching for the facts ever since Trail

finally led me here to Ellenville in

this house I was right on the point of

making a complete camera record when

they returned unexpectedly and I had to

run for it well you know the rest but

why would this Andre raml pretend to be

dead if he were still alive because for

3 years he's been involved in a

conspiracy to Swindle Lydia Van Camp out

of $1 million in stance Lydia Van Camp

for 3 years Andre Ramel has buried

himself in that room next door engraving

as only he can perfect reproductions of

4,000 of the most valuable stamps in the

van camp collection but Mrs Van Camp is

leaving her collection to Grover Penny

she'll be leaving nothing but worthless

forgeries all last week they've been

substituting rl's phonies for the

genuine and his copying is so perfect it

may take months even years before they

discover the

switch oh that's why I'm so sorry I got

you into this oh gee don't worry about

that Sky will get us out of this Sky

will how by coming out here to meet me I

asked Mr De Moine to phone him you ask

who Mr de MO you know he's the stamp

Penny Penny Mr de Mo M he's the ring

leader of this whole

conspiracy he's the the ring leader my

dear just as she said I tried to stop

you from coming here but you had to

Snoop and as for Sky King getting you

out of this I don't think he will you

see I have a very poor memory I forgot

to make that phone

[Music]

call

[Music]

hey Miss guy hi Miss I think I have

something interesting to show you sit

[Music]

now had you come out here to take a look

at this particular slide what do you see

what do I see it's a song bird of course

of course all you do what do you mean

penny and I jumped to the same

conclusion then I brought the slide out

here to take a better look at it

enlarged the Flying Crown that's right

now the crown on the song bird has seven

points the crown on this plane has only

five yeah that's not my plane but an

exact replica except for that little

detail well I'll be

dogged but why sky that's what I been

asking

myself just suppose I wanted to do

something outside the law that required

flying what would be the perfect cover

up yeah a strange plane in the area

would attract a lot of attention but the

song bird sure exactly now you know that

Old Bailey place out there you think

that ground's level enough for a plane

to take off and land Sky you don't think

that I don't think anything yet it's

just a hunch but I do think think you

and I ought to take a ride out that way

here I'll get it for you

thanks Flying Crown

Ranch oh hello Sue how are
