Speaker 1: Presenting the Amazing interplanetary adventures of Flash Gordon. Last week,
Flash Jordon's memory was restored by the lethiamantidote administered by
Doctor Zarkov. Then the doctor and Dale Arden told Flashed
all that had happened while he was under the spell
of the Wicked Queen's drugs. Zarkov persuaded him that he
must take over the Blue Magic Land, just as he
took over the other kingdom. So Flash went in to
see Azora, who, under the spell of her own drug
of forgetfulness, failed to recognize him. A Zurah accepted Flash's
claim that he was king, and at his request ordered
the entire army of the Blue Magic Men to pass
in review before him. While the review was in progress,
General Tall sneaked to the balcony on which Flashed, Dale, Zarkhoff,
and Azura were standing, and attempted to plunge his sword
into Flash's.
Speaker 2: Back, But Dale spied Tall just as he drew his sword.
Speaker 1: And gave the alarm, and Flash whirled in time to
parry the blow and gave battle. In the duel, Flash
knocked tall sword from his hand, then he threw him
over the balcony rail onto the parade ground below. When
Flash saw that Tall was still alive after his fall,
he ordered him carried away and his wounds dressed. Doctor
Zakov then warned Flash that he should have killed Tall.
These thrilling adventures come.

not have a rebellion on our hands, we will be lucky.

Zaka or Khan or me.
Speaker 7: I won't.
Speaker 1: Don't worry.
Speaker 3: May I make a s gest, younger?
Speaker 2: Of course? What is it?

by our swords. Let us search for some means of defense.
As we look for the throne room, a most excellent.
Speaker 2: Suggestion, Dhaka, I don't know what I'd do without it.
By all means, let us collect weapons for our protections.
Speaker 6: On with the search, and so our friends inspect.

because of the beauty of the hangings and furnishing. But
the object of their search leads them on, and finally
Flash and Dale are rewarded when they push aside two
massive metal doors a.
Speaker 2: Little further the here. Now push, Eh, it got them open. Nice?
Speaker 4: This is it?
Speaker 5: This is the Queen's throne rooms. Oh, it is.
Speaker 2: There's the throne down there. How hollow it sounds in here.
Speaker 4: That's because the room is so huge and empty. See,
there's nothing in here but the throne at the top
of those marble steps.
Speaker 8: Mm.
Speaker 2: It's plainer that I thought it would be. Just the
blue magic insignia, three triangles on the black velvet drape,
a plain marble throne.

seems so far away. There's no place for me to
sit with you.
Speaker 2: You shall slit at my feet On the very top steps.
We hear come, I'll show you.

car right this minute.
Speaker 2: I doubt it.
