Flipper's New Adventure Page #4

Synopsis: While widowed Porter Ricks is away at school learning to be a park ranger, his teen-aged son, Sandy, under adult supervision from a neighbor, remains at the family home in the Florida Keys with his pet dolphin, Flipper. While Po (as Porter is called by most) is away, Sandy learns that the family home, built on state land, is being torn down to make way for a highway. In turn, Sandy would be sent to live with relatives, while Flipper would be sent to the seaquarium permanently. Not wanting to be separated from Flipper, Sandy, using his skiff, runs away with Flipper. A distraught Po returns home to look for his son. Meanwhile, the Hopewell family from Britain are vacationing in the area. Their sailboat is hijacked by three escaped convicts, who take the father, Halsey, hostage, and set the three Hopewell women - mother Julia, and teen-aged daughters Gwen and Penny - adrift, they who eventually land on the island where Sandy is hiding.

They must have been

washed up from some ship.

You see?

Every time we need something,

somehow we get it.

It's just like I told you.

It's Providence

watching over us.

Well, let's hope

that Providence

is looking after

daddy too.

Thanks, Flipper, again.

All that trouble so they

can have just one good meal.

Flipper,

we've got problems.

Who are you?

Look, please...

Forget I'm here.

I'm hiding out. I...

Hiding out?

I'm, I'm a fugitive.

I mean...

You're part of that gang

that took my father!

No! No!

Look! I'm a friend!

I'm not one of them!

Honest!

Look, I've been

trying to help you.

That's how you got

the fish and the matches

and that life ring

when your boat sank.

Flipper brought

them to you.

He's my friend.

He's your friend too.

See?

He's bringing you

a present.

Thank you...

Flipper.

Then why did you say

you were a fugitive

hiding out?

Well, I didn't

really mean...

I haven't got time

to tell you now.

But the important

thing is,

you've got to promise not

to tell anyone I'm here,

not even your mother.

All right.

I promise.

It's got to be an oath,

a blood oath.

A blood oath?

That way I can

really trust you.

Then I'll help you

all I can.

Well, all right.

I swear I won't tell

anything

about Sandy Ricks

or Flipper.

I swear I won't tell anything

about Sandy Ricks...

That's me.

Or Flippah.

His name is Flipper.

But that's what I said.

Flippah.

Why do you

talk so funny?

I talk funny?

Flipper!

Flipper.

Where did you learn

to talk like that?

England.

That's where I live.

Penny!

Oh, Penny!

Go ahead.

Answer.

Coming!

Be right there!

Look, whenever you

hear this whistle...

try and get away

and meet me.

Say, you fight

pretty good.

You were lucky.

You should see me when

I've had enough to eat.

How about that, Flipper?

Flippah?

We'll save these matches

no matter what happens,

and we'll take turns

watching the bay.

The minute you see

or hear anything,

a plane, a boat,

anything,

this signal fire's

to be lit instantly.

Right, mummy.

It's our only chance

to get help

for daddy.

I'll take

the first watch.

Maybe just you and I

should stand watch, mummy.

I think we can rely

on Penny too.

You know

how Penny is.

She daydreams.

Maybe Gwen

is right, mummy.

I'll see if I can have

some more luck fishing.

All right.

Look, I'd better

come with you.

Not bad

for a daydreamer.

Gwen, why don't you

take these back to mummy?

All clear?

It's O.K.

O.K. Now meet me

where I told you.

See how easy it is

when you know

what you're doing?

Now, what did I tell

you about tinder?

Only use the inside

bark of the tree

because it doesn't

get any rain,
