Summary:
The air show in Jefferson performed to an assembled crowd is described. Ginsfarb demands to see the money before he performs the stunt, but Jock will not let him count it. The plane takes off, and Jake gets into the rented car. Jock flies the plane with Ginsfarb swinging from a rope ladder under the wing over the top of the car, which Jake is driving. Ginsfarb refuses to jump until Jake tells him that they secured the $100 he wanted. Still refusing to jump, Jock flies the plane at speed away from the car.
