In the far distance, the Gee Bee circles Chaplin Field.
Title: “PRODUCED BY LAWRENCE GORDON, CHARLES GORDON AND LLOYD LEVIN”
The camera tracks with the Gee Bee as it passes behind the air race pylon. Two monoplanes seen earlier are parked near the hangars, next to Peevy’s brown Model T truck.
Peevy watches the Gee Bee in the distance, as Goose and Skeets laugh and talk to each other behind him.
Cliff lines the Gee Bee up on the runway and begins a low pass.

Wilmer, driving the getaway car, turns to look back at the police car chasing him. In the passenger seat is a large case with the words “AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY” etched in gold letters on the top side of the case.
Lenny continues to fire at the police car as the three vehicles race down a rutted dirt road.
In the FBI vehicle, Agents Fitch and Wooly try to see past the LAPD sedan in front of them. Fitch, in the passenger seat, fires his revolver at the getaway car.
