00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:33,200
The Blue Beetles. Weeping down from
the Youngers slash Gangland, comes a friend

2
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:39,479
of the unfortunate, enemy of criminals, the mysterious, all powerful character a

3
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:44,600
problem to the police or a crusade
of a law In reality, Dan Garrett

4
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:49,200
a rookie patrolman, loved by everyone
but suspected by none of being the Blue

5
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,240
Beetle. As the Blue People,
he hides behind a strange mask and a

6
00:00:53,280 --> 00:01:10,000
sup of interrigable blue shade armor,
flexible ourselves but stronger than still. Today's

7
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,840
episode of The Blue Beetles is entitled
Mashing the Arson Rings. Numerous fires of

8
00:01:15,879 --> 00:01:19,560
suspicious nature have stirred the civil authorities
to a point where a concerted drive is

9
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:26,200
under way to discover who and what
is back of this unprecedented wave of mysterious

10
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:32,400
conflagrations. As the city's fire inspection
department become obsolete. Is the increase of

11
00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:38,079
destructive fires and abandoned factories and all
law tenements due to coincidence? Or is

12
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:44,799
an organized campaign of wholesale arson being
engineered by a mastermind. As our story

13
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,560
opens, the Troman Dan Garrett,
who in secret is really the Blue Beetle,

14
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:53,480
discusses the situation with his friend and
confident doctor Franz. The Chemist and

15
00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:57,640
Denny don't really believe that there's a
ring of professional arsonist woods setting these plans.

16
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,200
I am positive. You know,
we've had a long dry spell.

17
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:05,159
There's such a thing as spontaneous combustion. I know that. Then on what

18
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,000
do you base your suspicions? The
fact that in each case the burned building

19
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:12,400
had been vacant for a long time, or had been operating on a losing

20
00:02:12,479 --> 00:02:15,000
basis, and was heavily insured.
Not those old tenements on River Street.

21
00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:20,199
But surely the owners would be taking
a terrible risk of discovery if they set

22
00:02:20,199 --> 00:02:23,039
them on fire, not if I
hired professional arsonists. They're pretty clever,

23
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,680
you know, yes, But look
at the property loss and in some cases

24
00:02:27,759 --> 00:02:30,759
loss of life. The property losses
in each case I've found are all covered

25
00:02:30,759 --> 00:02:35,599
by fire insurance. A loss of
life such as in that last tenement,

26
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,039
fires and other things that's equivalent to
wholesale murder. You're right, Danny,

27
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:45,400
and if someone deliberately set those fires, that person should pay the extreme penalty

28
00:02:45,479 --> 00:02:49,080
they will if I can get the
evidence I need to convict them of.

29
00:02:49,199 --> 00:02:52,319
What do you intend doing? I'm
asking the Chief to put me on special

30
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:57,080
duty to investigate these mysterious fires with
Officer Mannigan. Yes, if Mike wants

31
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,319
to work on them with me,
he will, all right. He likes

32
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,400
excitement as much as you do.
I know I can't stand in activity as

33
00:03:04,439 --> 00:03:07,759
long as there are criminals to run
down. I'll only be happy when I'm

34
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,280
on their trail. And I do
hope you'll always be as successful in the

35
00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:15,400
future as you have been in the
past. I've got a fire engines that's

36
00:03:15,479 --> 00:03:21,159
my exit. Cue along that now, I'm Dan Garrett's a smoke here.

37
00:03:39,199 --> 00:03:43,800
Oh man, God, more wild
than the apartment house. But the challenge

38
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,280
your back on the top. Guy. He's a hard guy, these houses,

39
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:52,360
aren't. We're the part of the
boat him up because as a girl

40
00:03:52,479 --> 00:03:57,800
up as that's not fall window.
He's gonna count here he killed if you

41
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,360
don't, John, But there's a
cop warning or not to jump. Yeah.

42
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,960
Now we're going right into the buildings. Yeah, and there's another comp

43
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,479
fly right after him. But they'll
be playing to a crystal let inferno.

44
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,919
Boy. Look at the flames pouring
out of that window underneath. Yeah,

45
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:18,079
it's like counting for them babies,
I guess. Look the fireman just got

46
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:21,600
a hose up that ladder. They're
pouring a stream of water into the windows.

47
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:30,360
Too late up man, Yeah,
that's the end of the cops and

48
00:04:30,519 --> 00:04:34,480
the girls. Yeah, gee,
what a crack. Look look up there

49
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,759
on the roof. Yeah, it's
the two cops and the girl. What

50
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,800
do you know about that? They
went up and set it down just in

51
00:04:41,959 --> 00:04:46,720
time too. While I'm gonna landing
a ladder over to them from the hook

52
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:53,240
and ladder truck where but it will
reach it's too short. Oh why don't

53
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,600
they jump across to the next room. It's too far, honey, pot

54
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,240
camp, it never made it.
The fireman's stretch your nets or if they

55
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,120
can't get hearing up to their buildings, that fire is too high. See

56
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,439
you four out of those lower windows. I'm just that tack. No,

57
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,360
no, no, look yeah,
one cup's hanging to the edge of the

58
00:05:12,439 --> 00:05:16,399
roof by his hands. Now the
other one's crowing over him. But when

59
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:21,319
they drying the dude that's taking cops
hanging from the face top's feet stuff.

60
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:27,199
He can almost break the ladder up. There's a fireman growing up the ladder.

61
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,120
Say. The girl's climbing down over
the two cups hanging there. Look

62
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:36,959
out, see she almost lost hole. The fireman's gotta see, says,

63
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:46,040
he says. He's say yeah,
but say, looks like he sainted time.

64
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,399
Two cups gonna get down? I
don't know. They're still hanging up

65
00:05:48,439 --> 00:05:54,680
past my not back in the hooking
ladder truck a bed now out. The

66
00:05:54,759 --> 00:05:58,720
end of the ladder is white under
him, don't you there? He goes,

67
00:05:59,399 --> 00:06:04,240
he dropped. He made it.
Now there's only the top hanging into

68
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:09,480
the roof. He can't make it? Oh? Who is? He looks

69
00:06:09,519 --> 00:06:13,639
like patrolman Dan Garrett. The other
cup was manning in his town. And

70
00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:16,600
I've cowered all right? Yeah,
but how's he gonna get out of listed

71
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,959
him? He look the fire is
looking up to him. Now he's trying

72
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,120
to climb back onto the room.
Very close. He made it. How

73
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,079
is he gonna get down from that? Which means or I would like to

74
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,040
be in his place? Say he's
fit, the feary ain't here? He

75
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:36,839
is, he's got a long pool. What's he gonna do? Hold warn

76
00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:42,160
across for the other room, gosha. I hope he leaks it very good?

77
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:48,800
Oh boy, he ought to get
our medals for this day's work.

78
00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:06,680
M Well, Danny, I understand
you distinguished yourself at the fire today.

79
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,600
I almost extinguished myself with all I
could do to hold on when Mannigan and

80
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,759
the girl were both hanging on to
me. He's no lightweight, and I'm

81
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:17,759
proud of you, my boy.
That took the nerve. You got to

82
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:20,199
have nerve to make good on the
police force. And I know, but

83
00:07:20,279 --> 00:07:25,600
you've covered yourself with glory. The
important thing is I got some valuable information,

84
00:07:25,839 --> 00:07:29,319
Kah, from whom the girl I
rescued, Elsey Williams. Yes,

85
00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:31,920
I talked to her at the drug
store where the fireman took her when she

86
00:07:31,959 --> 00:07:36,199
fighted. She worked for Gordon,
sort of a secretary and rent collector.

87
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,240
Is that how she came to be
in that building when the fire started?

88
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,000
Yes, she was collecting rents.
She told me she saw one armed man

89
00:07:44,079 --> 00:07:46,480
leave the cellar entrance in a hurry
as she entered the building. Oh,

90
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,600
what's suspicious about that? He might
have been a friend of the janitor.

91
00:07:49,639 --> 00:07:53,959
Miss Williams told me that she'd seen
him in a huddle with her employer early

92
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,959
this morning before the fire, But
that still doesn't prove anything. Weight.

93
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,800
As he left, she heard him. Say to Gordon, don't worry.

94
00:08:01,879 --> 00:08:05,879
Your troubles will soon be over.
We won't miss as Gordon been having trouble

95
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,240
some sort, Yes, financial troubles, been losing money on his houses.

96
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,000
He also has a lost building.
It's been empty for months. That's literally

97
00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:18,519
looks suspicious. Yes, and I
figure my trail begins with mister Gordon.

98
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,680
What are you going to do?
Call upon mister Gordon and make him talk.

99
00:08:22,439 --> 00:08:37,679
As the carman down, Dolf do
you? I won't see you one.

100
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:45,799
I'm busy for so important to do. Oh well, i'll see him

101
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,799
the Calmann John guard did you go? Oh coming officer, Oh that's on

102
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,559
your mind? Very busy this afternoon, fire this morning, and everything very

103
00:08:54,600 --> 00:09:00,360
upsetting. Every financial loss to you
or to the insurance company. What's that?

104
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,039
I asked you to whom the fire
was a heavy financial loss? So

105
00:09:03,159 --> 00:09:07,919
you are the insurance company. Oh
okay, just because you're right that uniform,

106
00:09:07,159 --> 00:09:11,080
don't think that you can be impertan
into the taxpass. I'll report you

107
00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:16,120
just a minute, mister Gordon,
I'm here on official business. Your buildings

108
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,240
were heavily insured. You stand the
gain rather than lose by this fire.

109
00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:24,320
Today, the fire chief reports evidence
of incendiorism. What do you mean?

110
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,200
How can report such a thing I
have, mister Gordon. I'm here to

111
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:33,000
help you if I can. You
tell me who the ringleaders are and miss

112
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,679
Arston Rackett, and I'll do what
I can to get you off lightly when

113
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:41,080
your case comes up in court.
Court? Who said anything about court?

114
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,879
I did? I'm going to be
arrested shortly on suspicion of being party to

115
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:48,720
a conspiracy to defraud the fire insurance
company. No, no, you can't

116
00:09:48,759 --> 00:09:52,159
do now now, now, why
don't you break down? Give me the

117
00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:56,879
information I'm after. What do you
want to know? Who is the one

118
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,039
armed man who is seen to leave
the building just before the fire? One

119
00:10:01,159 --> 00:10:05,600
armed man fire? I don't know
anywhere? Who had a confidential talk with

120
00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:09,679
you earlier this morning, my secretary, or in knowing your secretary into this?

121
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,639
After all, she almost lost her
life to day collecting rents for you?

122
00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:18,799
All right, I'll tell you.
His name is Joe Duranda. It's

123
00:10:18,879 --> 00:10:24,960
called Stumpy. He worked for the
Modern Wrecking and Construction Company. They wrecked

124
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:30,399
buildings and construct buildings that you're coming
and going. What a profitable business,

125
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,360
I'd say, Oh, listen,
I didn't want to do this thing.

126
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,399
They threatened to undermine my tenements,
so they'd collapsed. I didn't hire them

127
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:43,039
to burn them down. The buildings
collapsed, I'd get no insurance at all,

128
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,080
But did be a total loss?
Oh that's their racket. What did

129
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,600
they get out of it? Thousand
dollars down and twenty percent of the insurance?

130
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:56,080
Mm not sad. And I suppose
they get the job of rebuilding hairs

131
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,720
huts part of the contract. Who's
the head of the company. I don't

132
00:10:58,759 --> 00:11:05,080
know. Somebody always spoke of his
boss as uh the skipper. Something must

133
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,360
have been in the navy at one
time. I don't know that. What

134
00:11:07,399 --> 00:11:11,320
does the gang use that makes the
fire spread so quickly? Cathleen, No

135
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,759
nothing. Will you go down with
me to the DA and tell him what

136
00:11:16,799 --> 00:11:20,080
you just told me? Now,
look here, officer, my life isn't

137
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,320
worth a dime ride Now for talking, we don't worry. The DA will

138
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:28,120
have you guarded day and night.
What was that one that sounded like my

139
00:11:28,159 --> 00:11:31,240
secretary's boy? Hold on, let's
see you going in there? God hear

140
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:37,039
not those men they're carrying along.
You're right, hey, don't count count

141
00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:41,639
taper. I'll fix you for sticking
your nose. You know what, don't

142
00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:45,399
consent. You come on good and
take a walk with me. Oh kind

143
00:11:45,919 --> 00:11:48,480
I've got this gun in your back, so don't open your trap. You

144
00:11:48,559 --> 00:12:03,519
and me's gone for a little ride. This skipper wants to see you later

145
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,120
that evening, I up in one
of the city's skyscrapers. Stumpy is reporting

146
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,000
to his skipper. You see,
it was like this, skippers. I

147
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:16,519
seen the cuppa go into Gordon's office, and I figured maybe Gordon's secretary a

148
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,440
spill of beans to Garrett after he
rescued it. Uh huh. So I

149
00:12:20,639 --> 00:12:22,679
called some of the boys, of
course, and when the copper stayed in

150
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,120
with Gordon so long, well,
I figured the heat was being tained on.

151
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,200
So I decided to pick up Gordon
as well as a girl. You

152
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,360
took a terrible risk by kidnapping them
and broad daylight. Well what else could

153
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,759
I do, Skipper? The heat
was on? Where are they all?

154
00:12:35,039 --> 00:12:37,440
I got him tied up in one
of your budgets down at the end of

155
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,480
the River Street. You bring him
out to my yard about midnight. We'll

156
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,279
see how much they've spilled to the
police. Okay, skipper, and keep

157
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:48,320
away from waterfront saloons. If you
get drunk tonight, you're all through?

158
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,360
Sure, Sure, Skipper, you
can trust me. I won't take not

159
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,039
even one drink. You better not
if you know what's good for you.

160
00:12:54,639 --> 00:12:56,960
I've got a couple of jobs for
you tomorrow, and I want you sober.

161
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,919
And you can trust me, Skipper. I ain't a where my bread

162
00:13:00,919 --> 00:13:03,279
and burda comes from, all right? Remember that if you want to be

163
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:16,000
able to continue eating bread and butter. What will happen to Elsie Williams and

164
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,720
the brave little Secretary? Will Garden
be bumped off for talking? Can Dan

165
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,360
Garrett recover from the blow on my
head in time to catch the thugs?

166
00:13:26,039 --> 00:14:05,879
Or will he lose the trail completely? Meanwhile, at doctor Franz's little apothecary

167
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:11,080
shop, the Troman, Dan Garrett
is talking with Doctor Franz while donning his

168
00:14:11,159 --> 00:14:15,519
blue beetle chain armor in math,
Doc, I've got a hunch. There's

169
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,919
that sailor costume you brought along.
Something to do with your hunch. Yes,

170
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,799
I'm gonna put it on over my
blue beetle costume. And what's the

171
00:14:22,919 --> 00:14:26,360
idea? Well, I'm convinced that
the Arson trail leads down at the waterfront.

172
00:14:26,559 --> 00:14:31,080
M that's an interesting thought. A
fire trail leading to water, yes,

173
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,039
but nevertheless that's the way I see
it. But what you see the

174
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,080
idea that clear leads in that direction. Stumpy's reference to his boss a skipper,

175
00:14:37,519 --> 00:14:41,679
which may mean that Stumpy's been a
sailor, or that the head of

176
00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:45,879
the Arson ring may have headquarters on
a ship of some kind. I see.

177
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,720
Also, I learned from Gordon today
that napther's being used to saturate the

178
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:54,159
buildings before setting them afire. Napther
is used extensively around ships to remove grease

179
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,399
and paint and rust. For what
you going to do? Disguise myself as

180
00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:01,639
a sailor and see if I can
pick up Stumpy's trail in one of the

181
00:15:01,679 --> 00:15:05,320
waterfront cafes. That will be dangerous, Denny, and I love danger duck,

182
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,600
and it's in the line of duty, a part of my crusade against

183
00:15:07,679 --> 00:15:11,600
crime. Well you better it.
Me change your face at it. There's

184
00:15:11,639 --> 00:15:15,679
some makeup. I'd act a little
tipsy if I were you, It would

185
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,519
be more convincing. That's a great
idea. I'll hide my blue beetle mask

186
00:15:18,639 --> 00:15:22,840
until I go into action as the
Blue beetle, and when I do,

187
00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:45,120
some people are going to get a
pick surprise. As the matter tailor lost

188
00:15:45,159 --> 00:15:52,399
a twatt. I'm looking for my
friend Stumpy blossom pal Stumpy. You know

189
00:15:52,519 --> 00:15:56,120
Stumpy? Sure, I know Stumpy. Gotta fine stumpages. What do you

190
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,440
want with him? He's gotta give
me a job. He's my pounds said,

191
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,840
if I ever wanted a job ashore, he'd steer me into or a

192
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:08,320
good job. Oh, I ain't
seen him. Maybe you could find him

193
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:14,440
down at the end of River Street, in the River Street or something doing

194
00:16:14,519 --> 00:16:18,000
down there. Sometimes he sleeps on
one of the modern recon and construction companies

195
00:16:18,039 --> 00:16:23,159
barge. Well promised me a job. He did. I'll go find him

196
00:16:23,159 --> 00:16:45,080
and buy him a drink or spy
Stumpy. Oh good, this is maybe.

197
00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:48,200
Look there's a guy coming down there
looking for Stumpy. Yeah, he

198
00:16:48,279 --> 00:16:53,679
said, he's a power of Stumpy
attending these front But he ain't he's cold,

199
00:16:53,759 --> 00:17:21,480

200
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:29,000
light and see can't find my pan
Stumpy. You know Stumpy one arm Stumpy

201
00:17:29,079 --> 00:17:32,720
grunt. I'm sure I know him. He's down on the barge there.

202
00:17:33,279 --> 00:17:36,759
Come on bell. Let me see
you are. That's very kind of you

203
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,680
made. Why don't mention it?
I am a sea far and may and

204
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:45,640
mooselle a seat fair and men gotta
stick together. Stumpy is a seat Farnell.

205
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:51,359
Watch your step matey. Yeah,
he's the bodge Stumpy. He'll be

206
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,839
glad to see an old friend,
Stumpy if you will find him right down

207
00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:03,480
there. And he ain't down there
now you can talk to the rats until

208
00:18:03,519 --> 00:18:08,720
he comes. Yeah, what are
you doing? I just knocked an old

209
00:18:08,759 --> 00:18:12,400
family or into the hole of this
scale. Who is he? I don't

210
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:18,319
know the mazy phone he was asking
for you when playing drunk up at the

211
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,359
cafe. Yeah, probably a dick. Yeah, what are you doing with

212
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,759
him? Put the hatch cover on
and pile some bags of sand on it,

213
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,480
and I'll go up the phone and
skipper at the office. It's okay.

214
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,799
I'll take care of it. And
if they're saying the hole gets noisy,

215
00:18:32,279 --> 00:18:34,960
open up the hatch and fill the
hole with sand and I'll keep him

216
00:18:36,039 --> 00:18:51,599
quiet for a long time. What
will happen to the blue people now?

217
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,400
Can he escape from the racking fested
tomb or will he be smothered to death

218
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,640
by sand. In the meantime,
several telephones are busy. Yes, mister

219
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,839
mayor, Yes, yes, you're
right, something should be done about these

220

Yes, it's alright, Well,

228
00:19:45,319 --> 00:19:48,359
good idea something. Tell us to
open up the sand elevator and fill the

229
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,720
hole. Yes, sinker if necessary. We're in short. I'll meet you

230
00:19:52,799 --> 00:19:56,759

hour. Bring Gordon and the girl.

We find out the same, squealed, you'll know what to do. Good

232
00:20:02,279 --> 00:20:21,440
Bye, Hello doctor, friends speaking
Hello doc, can you hear me you

233
00:20:21,559 --> 00:20:25,519
standing? Yes, I'm talking to
my portable wireless telephone. But where are

234
00:20:25,559 --> 00:20:27,839
you in the hold of a sand
barge at the foot of river streets.

235
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,799
Are you in danger? Not yet
with what happened. Someone knocked me into

236
00:20:32,799 --> 00:20:36,720
the hold and now they're filling the
bridge with sand. But Henry, you'll

237
00:20:36,759 --> 00:20:41,039
be very deling. I'll look back. Hellophone the police to come at once

238
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:47,200
the Modern Wrecking and Construction Company's warehouse. I'm in the bridge, hied up

239
00:20:47,240 --> 00:21:07,599
to the pier. Hurry back,
hurry. Where are you taking it out

240
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,039
to the skipper's yacht? Who's the
skipper? Don't you wish you knew and

241
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,400
could tell somebody? I know who
you are and what you do. Yeah,

242
00:21:14,559 --> 00:21:18,359
but it ain't gonna do you no
good. You'll never tell what are

243
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,839
you moving? This skipper ain't taking
no chances on you or your boss at

244
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,440
squealing heiny garden, You awake?
Oh eh, he's awake. You'll never

245
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,039
get away with this. Patrolman Dan
Garrett is on your tail. Say it

246
00:21:30,079 --> 00:21:33,359
did squeal? That's who the guy
was that Gus knocked into the hole of

247
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:38,400
the sandbarge. Well, he'll never
tell nobody nothing. He's buried alive by

248
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:44,279
this time. All that must be
the skipper now on his way out to

249
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,960
the yacht. We're both thinking about
the same yay, or maybe it's summer.

250
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,920
Hide the counter. I'll slap you
overboard. I should have left the

251
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,839
gag in your mouth. That's what
a guy gets for being saw counted.

252
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,680
Okay, skipper sir, are you
coming? Yeah, he's got your fire.

253
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,799
Follow it of be off. Okay, just be yill and I'm gonna

254
00:22:07,839 --> 00:22:27,119
get you up again. Aunt.
I regret very much Miss Williams and mister

255
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,920
Gordon that you saw fit to express
yourselves to their poverties to the extent you

256
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,559
have. In my business, long
tongues means short lives. What are you

257
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,039
going to do with it? My
lawyers? Your lawyers will assist in settling

258
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:44,559
your estate, mister Gordon. Only
your heirs will benefit by your long tongue.

259
00:22:44,599 --> 00:22:47,640
No, no, you can't mean
that. That was my meaning.

260
00:22:47,799 --> 00:22:51,039
Very quickly, mister Gordon, we're
all going for a little sea boys,

261
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:56,279
if you and Miss Williams aren't coming
back. Yes, the flu people,

262
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:04,960
your prop that gun thumpy you might
injure the young lady. Why it won't

263
00:23:06,039 --> 00:23:11,119
save you. Your record is smashed. Your folke of respectability will no longer

264
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,920
shield you. Listen, you guys, not goey. Don't let this guy

265
00:23:14,039 --> 00:23:18,799
bluff you. Any of you I'll
blast you with my ray guy poast.

266
00:23:18,799 --> 00:23:42,279
I'm gonna take me alive. Now
I'll dive by water with timby Daddy,

267
00:23:42,799 --> 00:23:45,839
how did you escape from the hold
of that sand bar? I discovered one

268
00:23:45,839 --> 00:23:49,440
of the hatches wasn't tight, so
was the hole filled with sand. I

269
00:23:49,559 --> 00:23:53,119
climbed up in the sand, laized
the hatch and crawled out. That was

270
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,599
a matter escape, Yes, when
what did you do? Then? I

271
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,119
heard a girl scream across the water, so I figured it must be Miss

272
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:06,039
William's voice. I dived overboard,
swam out to a speedboat board nearby,

273
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,559
and climbed the board. Luckily,
I found the ignition key in the switch

274
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,799
and started her up. Rest was
easy. Drove the boat out to within

275
00:24:12,839 --> 00:24:17,279
a quarter mile of the yacht Typhoon, dived over and swam out to her,

276
00:24:17,839 --> 00:24:21,079
and then on. It was just
a matter of getting aboard without being

277
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,400
seen. He certainly had an exciting
night. Yes, but that's what the

278
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,519
blue beetle craves who were try away. And did they find the skipper's body?

279
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,960
Not yet? Well, as he
said, he lived by fire and

280
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:40,720
died by water. My by but
a strange epithaph. Yes, but I'd

281
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:45,079
prefer one which would read here sleeps
the Blue Beetle. He did his job.

282
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,240
Now dressed in peace. That's just
what I'm going to do. Goodn't

283
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:55,039
I doc a fire and a flood
can tain me for my self appointed task.

284
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:15,319
I'm gonna get them sleep. And
so the Blue Beetles smashed another crooked

285
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:22,119
racket and chalked up another victory for
his crusade against crime. Further adventures of

286
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,759
Patrolman Dan Garrett will be presented in
the next episode of The Blue Beetles.
