Speaker 1: Presenting the amazing interplanetary adventures of Flash Gordon. Last week,
Flash Gordon returned from a raid on Queen Azua's palace
and received another electrical treatment from doctor Zakhov to make
him invisible. The treatment was extra strong so that Flash
could stay longer for his next raid on the palace. Meanwhile,
Azura recovered from the leafy im potion which Con had
given her, and thus his thought was discovered. Azura then
ordered Khn locked up, but her commands had just been
obeyed when news was brought that the Avenging Shadow had
arrived at the palace. Although Azura had station guard.
Speaker 2: Shoulder to shoulder in front of the door to.
Speaker 1: Her quarters, Flash made his way inside an overpowered hall. Then,
as the soldiers broke down the door at Azura's pry
for help and attempted to corner him, Flash leaped to
the window sill and held them at bay with Tall's
ray pistols. Then Flash warned Zerah that her soldiers and
her magic were useless against the Avenging Shadow, and that
he would return. These trolling adventures come to you as

soon as Flash comes back.
Speaker 2: I'd almost forgotten Flash. How long would he intended to
be gone this.
Speaker 6: Time of his ark He did not say, But he
should not be much longer. That the electrical charge will
soon be wearing off.
Speaker 3: Oh, I hope Les won't be foolish enough to stay
too long. He warned him about the risk of the
charge wearing off.

over the unconscious General's hall, Suddenly his efforts are rewarded by.
Speaker 5: Queen Queen of Doura.
Speaker 3: Good, you may go now.
Speaker 4: I'm with you, your magesty. Where am i? What happened?
Oh my head?
Speaker 2: The shadow hit you over the head with a flagon.
Speaker 4: Now I remember the shadow. You were struggling with it.
Where is it? I'll pin it to the wall.
Speaker 2: It's gone tall.
Speaker 3: It was flash Gordon, made invisible by some magic of
that earth scientist.
Speaker 4: I wish I had had a chance to get that
flash Garden.
Speaker 2: You did, and he knocked you unconscious.
Speaker 4: Of him, And my turn will come. What happened to
the door?
Speaker 2: The soldiers broke it down trying to catch a flash Gordon.
Speaker 4: All the god you posted up there couldn't catch him.
Speaker 3: No, they marched across the room's shoulder to shoulder, driving
the shadow before them, and suddenly he broke from that window.
Speaker 4: Sill ah, fools, why didn't they shoot as they marched?
Speaker 2: Tell them that they was your ray pistol.
Speaker 4: If only I'd been able to take charge, No ray
pistol would have stopped me from capturing him a flagon.
I was taken by surprise. I hadn't time to draw
my ray pistol. You should have called me sooner as you.
Speaker 2: Are well, you will have another chance with him. Tell
he'll return.
Speaker 4: How do you know that, your majesty, He told me
so just before he left. I know how we can
capture him, Your majesty is an indirect method that it
can be most effective.
Speaker 1: But is it all?
Speaker 3: How can we capture him?
Speaker 4: There is no way of making a person permanently invisible,
anymore than you can make the drug of forgetfulness permanently.
Speaker 2: You want all?
Speaker 4: You mean some time, the magic will wear off and
have to be repeated.
Speaker 2: I see what you mean.
Speaker 3: You can get the shadow cornered in a room that
has only one door, locked the door for a long
enough time, and Flash Gordon will become visible again.
Speaker 4: Yes, that is one way, your majesty, but not the
method I am suggesting.
Speaker 3: Then I do not follow you, Twells.
Speaker 2: What is your method?
Speaker 4: While we are waiting for the shadow to reappear? Why
not capture the source of the magic power?
Speaker 2: Wonderful?
Speaker 3: That is a wonderful plan.
Speaker 4: Tol How can you do this from not very easily?
A majesty? Of course, we shall take every measure to
capture the shadow within the palace. In the meantime, I
shall take a company of soldiers and personally discover and
capture that earth magician Zakop. The giants.
Speaker 1: As Paul Platt to capture doctor Zarkoff from the scientists,
and they'll anxiously await Flash Gordon's return. A solitary guard
paces back and forth before the iron bars of the
cell in which Conn the Hawkman has been put for
safe keeping. As the guard pauses and rest his weight
on his flame rifle, it has suddenly snatched from under
his arm and thrust into his stomach as a voice
to nowhere asks Captain corn alive the shadow?
Speaker 4: Oh yes, yes, yes, he's alive.
Speaker 2: Tell me where he is or you die?
Speaker 4: Oh yes, Corne in this hell? Come?
Speaker 2: Are you all right? Yes, I'm all right?

time to waste.

the lock is almost melted.
Speaker 4: Good.
Speaker 2: I almost got control of the palace while you were gone.
I got the Doonah again with a lidium more off,
and my plot was discovered. That's why I'm here. That
was too bad. Cons for a while it worked full
of me. I had that devil call, thinking I was
a Jonah's friend. I just gave him something to remember
me by. I broke the flagon over his head.
Speaker 4: Too bad.
Speaker 2: It wasn't his head if you broke I'm not sure
I didn't. There wasn't any time to waste finding out though,
told him were on top of me.
