FAMOUS DETECTIVE HOLMES
The Air Battle Over Dover
What a beautiful day!
She's the most beautiful flower in the garden.
Good morning, Mrs. Hudson!
Good morning!
I'll get breakfast ready right away.
Please take your time.
I'd like it soon, Watson.
I'm really starving.
You're already up, Holmes.
I'm up...
Oh?
It crashed!
Let's go.
W...What?!
Help!
Mrs. Hudson!
Catch him!
The gasoline is about to explode!
Oh, yes!
Oops!
Mary, get the mail bag!
Mary?!
Catch this!
Sure.
Get out of here!
Wow, that was close.
I knew it was you, Mary.
I've been looking for you.
Mary!
Mrs. Hudson.
Burn, burn it all up.
Mrs. Hudson.
You're awake?
Mary.
How about some water?
Brandy?
- Mary, something cold? - Something warm?
Could you please leave me alone?
Oh?
Yes.
- Very well. - Bye then.
Please call us if you need anything.
Yes.
Ah, Mary...
Ouch!
Be patient!
How dare you be so casual, calling her "Mary"!
Explain yourself!
Well, Mr. And Mrs. Hudson and I were flying mates.
Flying mates?!
Her husband, Jim was a nice young man studying airplane design.
Everyone was in love with her.
When Jim won her heart...
we were all heartbroken.
I don't blame you.
But within a month of their marriage...
It was a horrible accident...
After the accident, she disappeared from us.
So, the accident this morning brought back the bad memories.
But thanks to her efforts, the mail didn't get burned.
It's the airmail flight, just opened between London and Paris.
But we've yet to make a single delivery.
Even though the commemorative stamps were issued.
I heard that there's been a series of accidents.
We always keep the planes in good working condition.
But on the day of the flight, the planes break down.
At this rate, the postal business itself may be discontinued.
I'll return to the airport and try again tomorrow.
Thanks for everything.
Bye now!
I wonder if someone's interfering with those flights?
Perhaps.
Look at this, Watson.
The fuel pipe has a crack.
A metal rasp was used.
Then someone's definitely interfering.
Mrs. Hudson.
Well...
I know.
I'll take you to the airport.
Thank you.
Hey, hey, do you want to race?!
Oh, Honorable Count, it's been a long time.
Oh, it's you, Mary! I've missed you.
You haven't changed a bit.
This highway looks sad without you.
That shabby looking machine doesn't suit you, Mary.
Just let me know, I'll lend you my car anytime!
What's shabby?! You old speed freak!
It's Mary!
Hey, Mary's back!
Mary, how have you been?!
You all look great.
Step down, step down.
Make room for Mary!
Hey, don't push!
She's really popular. But I can't blame them.
Indeed.
Oh, thanks for this morning.
You're going to fly this tomorrow?
Yeah, it's the only one left.
This old plane's really beat-up.
It's been well cared for.
Oh Mary! You're here, too!
Mary!
Mary, Mary...
He's so excited, will he be able to fly tomorrow?
For the time being, let's finish the inspection.
Professor!
What are you fussing about?
Holmes! Holmes!
What?
Holmes already caught wind of us?
Another fish from that river back there?
What will you do, Professor?
Who cares where the fish comes from?!
Back river or not, it's all protein!
No, I mean about Holmes.
I wanna eat meat...
Be patient.
I'll feed you meat, eggs or whatever you want soon enough.
You spent all your money on those commemorative stamps.
Are you sure they'll become valuable soon?
If we stop tomorrow's flight, the airmail business will cease.
When that happens, the airmail stamps will stop being issued.
In no time, stamp collectors will come for my stamps.
I can name any price I want!
So today, I will say goodbye to these fish.
I hope it works.
Lately the odds...
Shut up!
My plan is perfect!
Stop yapping!
Go to the river and fish for my supper!
Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir!
I won't lose to someone like Holmes!
Ah, where did it go?
Well.
Mrs. Hudson will be back tomorrow.
Tonight, we'll keep eye on the plane.
Help!
W...What's that?!
Help! Stay away!
Come here! Come here!
Mrs. Hudson's in danger!
Shall we begin?
Yes, Sir.
Mary, good morning!
Tommy, did you see Mr. Holmes and Mr. Watson?
They told me they would keep an eye on the plane all night.
But I haven't seen them this morning.
Maybe they're having breakfast.
Did you sleep well, Holmes?
Thanks to you.
That's good. We had tons of work to do.
We've worked throughout the night.
You did something with the plane?!
We did a little more this time.
Exciting!
What a cliche, using nitroglycerine.
Call it being artistic and reliable.
The postal plane is in danger.
Right.
Please postpone your flight!
I can't!
The future of airmail depends on this flight!
But Mr. Holmes and Mr. Watson are not here!
That means something's wrong!
Don't worry! The engine's running great!
It's on its way!
They're not even aware.
That's the last airmail flight.
Hot! Hot! Hot!
I'll be cooked before that rope comes off.
Hot! Hot! Hot!
Just hold on.
I can't...
Did you hear something?
Wait!
Oh, whatever! It's too late!
Give me back my bike!
Mr. Holmes!
Stop! Stop right there!
Come back down!
He can't hear me over the engine.
Here goes!
What?!
What are you doing?!
Let go!
There's a bomb on your plane!
Holmes!
Mr. Watson!
The postal plane's in danger.
Oh no!
Let's witness the end of Holmes!
Professor!
He's the culprit!
Hello, Mrs. Hudson!
See you later!
Mary!
It's terrible! There's nitroglycerine on the plane.
What?!
Catch that plane!
Right!
Start the engine.
Moriarty did this.
Stop, stop, wait!
Let's go!
Mrs. Hudson.
Let me borrow your car.
Sure.
Hold on tight.
Wow, here comes Mary! Just like old times!
Let's help her!
Mrs. Hudson.
Don't talk! You'll bite your tongue!
Cool!
Follow her.
We're not so cool.
Nitroglycerine?!
I can't even make an emergency landing?!
Keep the plane steady. I'll look for the nitroglycerine.
They must've done a lot of sabotage to this plane.
Do you have something like wire?!
I have this for emergency repair! But I can't take my hands off!
Throw it to me.
Here.
He showed up.
This is great entertainment.
He's desperately trying to repair it.
It's the last desperate struggle of Detective Holmes.
Keep struggling in despair!
Oh no, here, too!
Come on!
The game's over! It's going to explode!
See...
Boom?!
They're still flying.
What's the hold up?
Well it seems he's repaired it for the most part.
Hey, stop struggling and start crashing, Holmes!
Yes, we will after I find the nitroglycerine.
Hey, I know where it's hidden!
What!Hey you!
But he'll get mad if I tell you!
I see them!
Thank Goodness! They're still flying.
Hey, w... what's wrong?
We're out of gas!
What?!
Marrrrry!
The old speed freak again.
Honorable Count, could you please let me borrow your car.
Wow, what an irresistible line!
Be my guest!
I don't even care if you wreck it!
Wait!
Go!
Yeah, dynamic!
Yahoo!
Haven't you found it yet?!
Since it's not in the body, it must be somewhere in the wings.
Oh no, he's checking the wings!
I'm positive he can't find it.
Oh, he's close! He's close!
Found it!
It's in the wing!
Bingo!
Smarty Holmes!
I'm giving up on this perfect crime!
Now I'm moving onto brute force!
Start!
What's he up to?!
He's trying to rip us apart with the anchor.
He's coming!
Where is the nitroglycerine?!
Almost there!
Oh, my!
Okay, once more!
You're not so bad yourself.
It's coming again!
Oops!
What's this...?
Here, once more!
What is this?!
I don't think you can kick it with bare feet.
Here it comes.
Keep on pulling!
No good!
It's going to come apart in midair!
Give me the pistol!
What?!
Hurry, give me the pistol!
Oh, yes, certainly.
Take the wheel.
Alright!
What?! What's happened?
Mrs. Hudson, stop!
Stop it!
That's dangerous!
It can't be!
It can be.
It's nitroglycerine!
Drop it! Quickly!
See you again, Mr. Holmes!
Jump onto the bag, quickly!
I'll do as you say.
Look out!
It's the Dover!
This is the end of airmail flight.
I don't think so.
We found out who the culprit was.
It hasn't undervalued the planes.
What a thrill that was, Mary!
Are you all right?!
Mary!
No! Don't!
Hip hip hooray!
Now, we're having fish from the park.
Don't be sarcastic.
I'll feed you tons of meat someday.
Hey!
Commemorative stamps for the subway opening will be issued!
Brother...
We'll be eating fish from the park for a while.
Today, they had the first airmail flight after the grand reopening.
I see.
It's flying up there.
You're right, it's flying.
Indeed it is.
I'm glad.
Upon the request for an investigation by the wealthy Mr. Gilmore...
Holmes and I visit a valley filled with his factories.
We challenge the mystery of his disappearing sovereign gold coins.
All the while being disgusted by Mr. Gilmore's vulgar opulence.
If you find yourself in a mystery, please come see us at Baker Street.
