White Elephants Don't Grow on Trees
A salvage dealer offers Ben a hiding place in the back of his disabled truck while Fletcher is in pursuit. After Fletcher leaves Ben helps the man repair the truck and deliver the salvage cargo -- World War I surplus gas canisters that are leaking and could explode at any moment. The salvage company, however, is owned by Arthur Maitland, and Fletcher is at the plant, waiting for Ben to arrive.
