: Look what I found.
: Must be something extra special.
: What is it son?
: A gold coin!
: Take a look, dad.
: Can you tell what kind it is?
: Hmm, unless I miss my guess that's a 17th century Spanish doubloon.
: Wow!
Race: Say, there's been talk of a Spanish treasure ship around here.
: You suppose Jonny found it?
: That's it, dad.
: It must be the old Spanish ship. Gosh!
: Maybe there's a whole treasure chest full of gold in it.
: Can you find this ship again, Jonny?
: Oh, sure.
: I know just where it is.
: But gosh, dad I bet there's a million dollars waiting to be picked up.
Dr. Quest: Perhaps so, Jonny, we'll see.
: Jose to the chief.
: Jose to the chief.
: Come in, chief.
: This is the chief.
: What is it, Jose?
Jose: [on radio] One of the boys brought up a Spanish doubloon.
: It is what we have been waiting for.
: Good. I will arrive shortly.
: Act as if you know nothing.
Jose: Yes, chief.
: I will act as if I know nothing but only for a little while.
: [laughs]
: Looks like we have visitors, doctor.
: Hello.
: We need help, senor.
: We'll help if we can.
: Come alongside.
: Thank you, senor.
: You are very kind.
: What can we do for you?
chief: Senor, already done it.
: Arriba!
: Stand where you are.
: Jose, quick, the gun!
: Si, senor,
: One move, and you are dead.
: Now, then, Senor
: let's get down to business.
: You tell me where the treasure is and, poof we're gone in a flash.
: Dad doesn't know.
: I found it.
: That's right.
: You tell me, huh, Jonny?
Jonny: Nothin' doin'.
: And I thought you were a nice guy.
: Oh, Jonny, I am a nice guy.
: Unless you do not tell me where you find the Spanish doubloons.
: I won't, and you can't make me.
: Oh, it's a pity!
: Now, Senor
: No, you leave my father alone!
chief: Alright.
: All you have to do is show me where you find gold coins.
: You do what I tell you, everything is fine.
: You do not do what I tell you, everything is bad.
: [Jose laughing]
: That is right.
: Do as he says, son.
: You have no choice.
: There remains three hours of daylight.
: When you find the treasure, pull on rope.
: But be very careful.
: If rope break or you cut it I will be very angry.
: And who knows what will happen to your poor papa.
: [laughs]
: Now, go!
: Remember our bargain.
: I find the gold, and you let us go.
: Right?
: Oh, of course, dear one.
: You have my word.
: His word? Oh, brother.
: Go ahead, Jonny, and be careful.
: I will, dad.
: Enough talk, start swimming.
: [dramatic music]
: Now we wait and make ourselves comfortable. No?
: If you get the treasure, do you think you'll be able to use it?
chief: Huh, si, Senor
: Gold is gold no matter what its shape.
: There are always people who are ready to buy it.
: And no questions asked.
: Except by the police.
chief: Police?
: [laughing]
: You-you think I am afraid of them?
: Don't make me laugh.
: Chief, look. Talk about the devils, and they're here.
: It is the police boat.
: So I see.
: Stay by the rope, Jose.
: Si.
: Manuel, Francisco, keep outta sight.
: But keep the guns ready.
: As for you, Dr. Quest act as if nothing is wrong.
: We do not want anything to happen to little Jonny, si?
: Don't worry, I'll play your little game.
: But, doctor, with the police here--
: We can do nothing.
: Go along with it, Race.
: Afternoon, doctor, how goes the research?
: Just fine, superintendent.
: Coming along fine.
: Well, say, how about you and Mr. Bannon joining me for dinner tonight?
: Tonight? Well, uh..
: I don't think we can make it tonight but thanks anyway.
: [barking]
: Well, hello there, pup.
: Sounds like he's trying to say something.
: Too bad he can't, Mr. Owens.
: He'd have a lot to tell you.
: [Owens laughs]
: Well, I'm sure he has.
: Well, cheerio.
: See you soon.
: [barking]
: You think he suspect anything?
: [laughs]
: No. No, like all policemen, he is a fool.
: He suspects nothing.
: Chief! Chief!
: The boy find something maybe.
: [intense music]
Jose: It is a fortune!
: Oh, that is only a small part.
: The boy said there is more below.
: We wait for morning and get the rest.
: Hey, Manuel!
: Lock everybody in the cabin.
: Si.
: Alright, move.
: Take it easy, buster.
: How long do you think we have, doctor?
: Our value ends as soon as the last of the treasure is recovered.
: So if we do anything, it has to be now or never.
: That's about the size of it.
: The port hole is too small for me to get through.
: But not me.
: Or me.
: I spoke first, Hadji.
: But you are tired from all that diving, and I am not.
: Please, Dr. Quest, it is my turn to do something.
: What do you think, Race?
: Well, Hadji is a good swimmer.
: The best.
: I could swim to shore easy and be back with the police, long before daylight.
: Alright, Hadji.
: Let's give it a try.
: There is a sailor on guard above us.
: [intense music]
: [laughs]
: Five for me, one for you.
: Alright, Jose?
: [laughs]
: That is fair enough, chief.
: Hey, where you think you go?
: [laughing]
: Let me go!
: Let me go!
: Hey, Senor
: I find a little fish outside.
: I throw him back in. Si?
: [laughs]
: Oh, you're great, buster!
: I bet you can lick any kid half your size.
: I'm sorry. He caught me before I could jump.
: [barking]
: Hey. Pretty tough dog, eh?
: Don't you hurt Bandit, you big bully!
: Easy, Jonny, easy.
: I think I take dog for a little walk, yes.
: And you stay here.
: bam bam bam Hey, come back here!
: Bring my dog back!
: Don't you hurt him, you big ape!
: You take nice long walk, alright?
: On the bottom of the ocean.
: Goodbye, dog.
: [laughing]
: [Bandit whining]
: Oh, no!
: He dropped Bandit overboard.
: [barking]
: Quick, Hadji, Bandit's diving gear.
: Here it is. Maybe Bandit can succeed where I failed.
: Bandit, here, boy.
: Here, boy.
: [barking]
: Atta boy, Bandit.
: Now, go get Superintendent Owens, quick.
: [upbeat music]
: [squealing]
: [barking]
: [barking]
: Inspector Owens, look.
: By Jove, that's a dog!
: And a dolphin with it!
: [barking]
: Lower the launch and bring that hot rudder aboard.
male #1: Aye-aye, sir.
Owens: There he is.
: Be careful helmsman.
: Okay, fella.
: Easy does it.
: Here he is, sir.
: Odd looking fish, isn't he?
: Yes. I say, isn't that the Quest dog?
: [barking]
: By Jove, it is!
: And he's still trying to tell me something.
: Alright, ol' fellow.
: Let's go back and see if anything's wrong.
: [instrumental music]
: Switch on the beam.
: Aye-aye, sir.
: There she is.
: The police!
: [gunshots]
: They're playing rough, sir.
: Turn off the beam.
: Helmsman, hit the siren.
: [siren wailing]
: That's Superintendent Owens.
: He did it! Bandit got through.
: And now, as you say, here comes the marines to the rescue.
: You fool, you had no reason to shoot!
: They suspected nothing.
: Jose.
: Yes, chief?
chief: We will make a run for it in our boat - 'Is the treasure aboard?
: Si.
: Someone's leaving in a hurry.
: Full throttle, Helmsman!
: They mustn't get away.
: [siren wailing]
: Atta boy, inspector.
: After them.
: Try to stop them, Manuel.
: [gunfire]
: Forward gun, you may open fire.
: [gunshots]
: splash splash splash
: [gunshots]
: They are gaining on us.
: Faster, Jose.
: The throttle is wide open.
: She cannot go any faster.
: [gunfire]
: Make this one count, gunner.
: Aye-aye, sir!
: [gunshot]
: boom
: [indistinct]
: We must have hit the gas tank.
: Stand by to pick up survivors.
: Aye-aye, sir.
: And that's the story, superintendent.
: Apparently, Jose was planted on our vessel on the chance that we might find the treasure.
: Jonny did, and we were taken prisoners.
: We owe our life to you, superintendent.
: And we are all grateful.
: Nonsense!
: Your pup there, is the real hero.
: Take a bow, Bandit.
: [barking]
: Ironic isn't it?
: Blowing up their boat and sending that treasure chest right back to the bottom.
: Well, at least your government will know where to find it.
: Well, we have you people to thank for that.
: Now, you stay aboard, hero.
: Cause we're going swimming.
: [barking]
: You cannot swim fast enough to keep up with us, Mr. Hero.
: That's right, Bandit.
: You better stay here.
: Jonny, no matter what you find, don't bring it back.
: [Jonny laughs]
: Don't worry, dad.
: splash splash splash I'll race you to the island, Hadji.
: Okay, let's go.
: [barking]
: Jonny, look.
: Did we say Bandit cannot swim fast enough?
: How do you like that?
: [instrumental music]
: I guess we owe Bandit an apology.
