His wife, the former Natalie Talmadge, with aid of police, halted Keaton's aerial expedition with his two small sons into Mexico. "I just wanted to see who's boss, and I found out. I didn't know it would stir up a miniature war," moaned Keaton. Mrs. Keaton objects to having the children, Joseph (left) and Robert (right), go up in airplanes.

My life was in jeopardy, but I felt perfectly safe."
