1
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:22,039
Speaker 1: The Blue Beetle creeping down upon the on the world.

2
00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:23,800
A smash Ganglin comes.

3
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:28,039
Speaker 2: A friend of the unfortunate enemy of criminals. In this serious,

4
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,880
all powerful character was a problem to the police, a

5
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,079
crusader for law. In reality, Dan Garrett a rookie photooneman,

6
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,000
loved by everyone but suspected by none of being the

7
00:00:41,039 --> 00:00:42,320
Blue Beetle.

8
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 3: As the Blue Beetle, he hides behind the strange mask

9
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,280
and a suit of impenetrable blue chain armor, flexible as

10
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,719
silk but stronger than steel.

11
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:02,399
Speaker 1: Today's episode, The Blue Beetles sends the Blue Beetles swooping

12
00:01:02,439 --> 00:01:05,480
down on a group of powerful underworld characters whose racket

13
00:01:05,719 --> 00:01:08,280
is dope. Will he be able to parret them out?

14
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,480
Can he hope to cope with this mysterious ring of

15
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,799
ruthless men single handed? Can he discover their leader and

16
00:01:13,799 --> 00:01:16,760
bring him to justice? As our story opens, our hero

17
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,680
Dan Garrett is visiting his friend and secret advised, doctor Franz,

18
00:01:20,719 --> 00:01:23,400
who operates a little apothecary shop in one of the

19
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,040
Great City's side streets. He is restlessly pacing the floor

20
00:01:27,079 --> 00:01:28,560
in doctor Franz's living.

21
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: Room, but quite as there have to be so much

22
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,159
red tape and police work.

23
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 4: Will Danny. Every organization has to have rules and regulations.

24
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: That makes for efficiency, Yes, but the criminals and the

25
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,200
crooks were set the catch are bound up the rules

26
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,280
and regulations. Well, I like police work, but I also

27
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:46,000
crave actions.

28
00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:48,359
Speaker 4: You seem to get plenty of it as the Blue Beetles.

29
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,920
I worry about you, Danny, the terrible risks you take.

30
00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:55,640
These crooks and gangsters are vicious, cold blooded killers.

31
00:01:55,959 --> 00:01:57,799
Speaker 2: They have no mercy on you. If they cost you,

32
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,879
I can take care of myself. Besides that suit of

33
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,719
blue chain army who made me in that mask or

34
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:03,480
a great protection.

35
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 4: I hope they never catch you without it, or ever

36
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,199
discover who the blue Beetle really is. I'm afraid it

37
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,439
would mean the end of Patrolman Dan Gabbett.

38
00:02:11,759 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: Well, after all, Doc, you're the only one who knows.

39
00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:16,479
Even Mannigan is always saying what he'd do if he

40
00:02:16,599 --> 00:02:17,360
caught the blue beat.

41
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,039
Speaker 4: He's the officer on the beat next to yours, isn't he?

42
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,039
Speaker 2: Yes? He was my father's pals. I see. He got

43
00:02:24,039 --> 00:02:26,080
me on the police force after my father was killed

44
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,120
by a gangster's bullet.

45
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 4: And doesn't he suspect at all?

46
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: No, he doesn't. He's a good copy. He's not very

47
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:33,400
heavy above he is.

48
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 4: What's that newsboy crying something.

49
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: About a movie star committing suicide? Wait, I'll go get

50
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:44,919
a paper boy. Give me one of those.

51
00:02:44,759 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: Things, yes, by him?

52
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: Hey, look at this stock. Sandra Beaumont, the movie actors,

53
00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:56,719
committed suicide last night. The paper says she left a

54
00:02:56,719 --> 00:02:59,560
note on a dressing table which said, both has become

55
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,759
my mask. No longer can I live without it? This

56
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,159
is the end. Let my fate be a warning to all.

57
00:03:08,719 --> 00:03:09,919
What do you think of that ducky?

58
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 4: Do you think it's tragic? Danny?

59
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: So do I. I'm gonna do something about that dope

60
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,840
bracket right now. So what are you going to do?

61
00:03:15,879 --> 00:03:17,319
I'm going to ask the commissioner to put me on

62
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,360
special assignment to try and uncover the leaders of that

63
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:20,199
dope ring in the sitting.

64
00:03:20,599 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 4: You better be careful, Dan, they'll stop at nothing.

65
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,039
Speaker 2: Well. I can't uncover them as the Troman, Dan Garrett,

66
00:03:28,039 --> 00:03:28,800
I'll get them.

67
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:29,479
Speaker 4: As the Blue Beetles.

68
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:40,039
Speaker 5: As our next scene opens, the Troman Dan Garrett, Mike Mannigan,

69
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,319
and Charlie Storma's reporter of the York City Sun, are

70
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,560
standing on the corner watching a hotel suspected.

71
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,919
Speaker 1: Of being the Dope Ring headquarters.

72
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: Uhh, that's the place all right.

73
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: Somebody checked off my paper. Why don't we go in

74
00:03:54,919 --> 00:03:57,400
and raise the place? What just the two of us shore,

75
00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:01,159
don't be telling we've got no evidence. The commissioner wants evidence.

76
00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:03,680
That's our job to watch everybody that goes in and

77
00:04:03,719 --> 00:04:08,199
comes out of that place. Me I like actions don't ah. Hey,

78
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,080

00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,920

He's telling dope cigarettes marijuana, marijuana. Boy, here is where

00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 2: What about Dan and the dope pedalant hoose murderer? Gellim

96
00:05:08,399 --> 00:05:10,959

He looks like a sieve. Sure, and he'll never sell

103
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,040
no more dope sticker as thick kids. He's dead.

104
00:05:30,079 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 3: He's dead.

105
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 2: Look at the block. What are you saying? Look here?

106
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:37,639

108
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,319
He's dead? You've tackled them in some trigger man in

109
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,160
a car machine. Gune your boat? Oh I remember now

110
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,279
I saw the car coming. Are you a bad hurt?

111
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,839
I don't know. I can't feel much of them all over. Well,

112
00:05:52,879 --> 00:05:55,920
here's the ambulance. You'd get a swell right to the hospital, Danny,

113
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,040
and maybe a titation from the Commissioner for bravery in action.

114
00:06:14,399 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 3: What's the verdict, doctor, will patrolman then Garrett leave?

115
00:06:17,519 --> 00:06:19,639
Speaker 2: Well it's very doubtful, Commissioner.

116
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 4: An operation is necessary to remove the bullet, but he's

117
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:25,319
so weak from lots of.

118
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,759

Speaker 4: H m hmm.

121
00:06:39,879 --> 00:06:42,759
Speaker 2: It should be interesting to you, Commissioner read it.

122
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,879
Speaker 3: If my blood is the right type, I would like

123
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,199
to volunteer as a blood donor for the brave officer Garrett.

124
00:06:54,519 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 2: Why this is signed by my daughter? She's convalescing here

125
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,800
from her accident. Well, she's almost covered colisener yes, productor

126
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,839
she's strong enough, I think so.

127
00:07:04,079 --> 00:07:07,079
Speaker 3: Then by all means, let her do it. I'm phoned

128
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,120
as well as proud of Dan Garrett. He's a fine boy,

129
00:07:10,399 --> 00:07:13,279
like he's dead before him. It will also make my

130
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:18,399
daughter very happy. Ever, sneaking suspicion, she likes young Garrett.

131
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: The Commissioner. Daughter of Mary's blood proved to be the

132
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,920
right type and the transfusion was performed Later Danny was

133
00:07:32,959 --> 00:07:35,759
operated upon a machine gun till it removed from his abdomen.

134
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,279
For days, he hovered between life and death, and then

135
00:07:39,319 --> 00:07:42,399
one night, when all was quiet, a strange man slipped

136
00:07:42,399 --> 00:07:44,399
by the nurse and stood beside.

137
00:07:44,079 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 4: Dan said, Dance, Dan Garrett, Who is it?

138
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: Calling Dan Garrett?

139
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,319
Speaker 4: I desire Doctor Franz your friends. I've got something for you.

140
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,680
Oh Doc, now isn't Anny. I want you to take

141
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,240

142
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:06,079

143
00:08:06,079 --> 00:08:08,720

00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:09,360
four hours.

Speaker 2: They'll also give.

148
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,040
umbree when you get.

149
00:08:19,839 --> 00:08:22,319
Speaker 2: Out of the earth. Will give it to me. I

150
00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:25,319
got to get out of here. It's important work to

151
00:08:25,319 --> 00:08:27,560
be done and I've got to do it.

152
00:08:27,959 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: And the next morning, to the surprise of everyone, Dan

153
00:08:40,519 --> 00:08:44,039
Garrett was completely recovered. From Mike Mannigan and Mary Donnelly,

154
00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:46,600
the Commission's daughter, who came to visit him, he learned

155
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,200
that the Commissioner had ordered extensive raids on all opium

156
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:52,039
dens in the city. At one place, they told him

157
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,840
the police had been blown a bit by dynamite planted

158
00:08:54,879 --> 00:08:55,720
by the dope ring.

159
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 2: Before they fled.

160
00:08:57,279 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: Dan insisted on being released from the hospital and saw

161
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,600
the duty I meant, I have to know. He's back

162
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,879
on his beat, fully recovered to health and strength by

163
00:09:04,919 --> 00:09:08,519
doctor Franz's magic formula. At night, he visits the little

164
00:09:08,519 --> 00:09:10,480
apothecary shop of doctor Franz.

165
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,879
Speaker 4: Well, Doc, no, hell no, Danny, Well my two WEX

166
00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:17,919
formula work, didn't it?

167
00:09:18,159 --> 00:09:19,519
Speaker 2: Sure? Did you have a look at this?

168
00:09:19,919 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 4: M A bullet?

169
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that came out of me.

170
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,039
Speaker 4: M m well, let's have a look at it under

171
00:09:26,039 --> 00:09:30,000
the microscope. Wit, like those up shops, pull down the shage.

172
00:09:29,759 --> 00:09:31,279
Speaker 2: Will you? While I locked the door.

173
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,919
Speaker 4: There now, now we'll just give this bullet the once

174
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:45,679
over under the microscope. M hm hm, very interesting, very interesting.

175
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,639
Speaker 2: Indeed, what is it, doctor, he got something?

176
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 4: I think so this bullet was fired from a show

177
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,159
show a show show? What's that?

178
00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 2: Boy? That's what the soldiers in the Last.

179
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 4: World War called a certain type of French machine guns

180
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,480
because they couldn't pronounce the real name boy.

181
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 2: That ought to be easy to trace. They can't say.

182
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,039
Many of those in this town got the ideas will.

183
00:10:04,519 --> 00:10:06,919
Speaker 4: There's a French novelist by the name of Philip Ladon

184
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,360
who collects interesting firearms as a hobby.

185
00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:11,919
Speaker 2: He might know something about this gun.

186
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,720

meet the blue beetle, it'll be just too bad.

228
00:12:57,639 --> 00:13:06,639
Speaker 1: Oh whom will the blue beetle call upon next? Whose

229
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,399
fingerprints were on the doors of the gun case? He

230
00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:12,039
is right on the French novelist, a member of the

231
00:13:12,159 --> 00:13:16,799
dope ring. Let's look in on police headquarters. The time

232
00:13:16,919 --> 00:13:19,960
is close to midnight. Managan is holding down the desk

233
00:13:20,039 --> 00:13:21,840
while the sergeant is out for a bite to eat.

234
00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:28,759
Speaker 2: Shouldn't I wish the sergeant would get back. He'd like me.

235
00:13:28,879 --> 00:13:35,000
It was undled better than some shirt eye. Take haathy, Managan,

236
00:13:35,039 --> 00:13:37,480

237
00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:41,000

238
00:13:41,039 --> 00:13:45,080
the blue beetles, so than you are. I'll just stop

239
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:46,720
this hanging just in your mouth, and then tie you

240
00:13:46,879 --> 00:13:49,440
up and I'll carry you into the room where you

241
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:55,519

00:14:23,679 --> 00:14:29,799

250
00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:43,039

251
00:14:43,159 --> 00:14:45,840
the beautiful daughter of the police commissioners, goes bo. I'll

252
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,240
shoot if you do. I have no intention of moving

253
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,000
unless it's just step within the ore of such a

254
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,120
charming person as yourself.

255
00:14:51,159 --> 00:14:52,559
Speaker 4: Mistni, what are you doing here?

256
00:14:52,799 --> 00:14:54,399
Speaker 1: And why has your dag been tied up off of

257
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:55,159
a mannequin there?

258
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 2: I'm here to obtain evidence against the opium gang your

259
00:14:57,679 --> 00:14:59,919
father's trying to round up. I tied up over them

260
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,360
anaga man to prevent his interfering. Why didn't you enmiss

261
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:02,879
his aid?

262
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:04,679
Speaker 1: After all, he's working.

263
00:15:04,519 --> 00:15:06,879
Speaker 2: On this case. The Blue Beetle works alone.

264
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: But how do I know you're working for rather than

265
00:15:09,879 --> 00:15:10,720
against my father?

266
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: Well, if my charming captain will lower that toy revolver

267
00:15:14,039 --> 00:15:16,679
which he's holding in an unto steady hand. The blue

268
00:15:16,679 --> 00:15:18,840
Beetle will tell her something to gladden her father's heart

269
00:15:19,639 --> 00:15:22,600
very well, but don't try any trick. Not a trick,

270
00:15:22,679 --> 00:15:26,279
my dear young lady. I'll listen. I promise you that

271
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,559
before daylight, your father will have the opium gang under

272
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,039
lock and key, together with enough evidence to convict him.

273
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,720
How do I know you'll keep your promise? Let this

274
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,879
seal my promise. Oh good night, my sweet I'd like

275
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,039
to linger after that kiss, but the blue Beetle has

276
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:41,840
a duty to before.

277
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,519
Speaker 1: Take me with your blue beetles. Let me stand by

278
00:15:44,559 --> 00:15:45,360
your side when you.

279
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 4: He's gone, maybe to die alone.

280
00:15:50,679 --> 00:15:51,639
Speaker 1: No, I can't let him.

281
00:15:52,159 --> 00:15:54,279
Speaker 2: I'm a telp him. I must. I must.

282
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: Like a bloodhound on the trail. Once he gets the scent,

283
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,080
the blue Beetles sped on his missions, and like the bloodhound,

284
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,159
he'll never let up till he runs his quarry to earth.

285
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,440
But close on his heels goes the Commissioner's daughter, determined

286
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:14,720
to have a part in the round up with a

287
00:16:14,799 --> 00:16:17,799
nefarious gang of dope peddlers. Little did she know that

288
00:16:17,879 --> 00:16:20,720
close behind as she hurried down the darkened streets, her

289
00:16:20,799 --> 00:16:22,559
car was slowly following her.

290
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 2: As she goes.

291
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 3: That's the Commissioner's girl.

292
00:16:27,399 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 2: Let's never know.

293
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,639
Speaker 4: Wait, wait till she passes her street light.

294
00:16:31,679 --> 00:16:38,159
Speaker 2: Now, how like a slappy and keep it quiet? Excuse me?

295
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:46,840
Who are you? Here's the car him to open the door.

296
00:16:47,799 --> 00:16:52,639
We got a fort com in meeting the pay big

297
00:16:52,799 --> 00:16:56,120
dough to get his darling data back alive.

298
00:17:00,039 --> 00:17:08,599
Speaker 1: Where is the blue Beetle? Will the blue Beetle be

299
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,920
able to rescue the beautiful daughter or the police commissioner?

300
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,279
Will he locate the hide out of the dope ring?

301
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,279
Will he be able to collect enough evidence to convict them?

302
00:17:17,039 --> 00:17:19,880
Through the silent night down by the waterfront, two powerful

303
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,839
cars are speeding along. The first car is full of men,

304
00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:26,880
hard looking men, desperate men kill hers all. But who

305
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,599
is this lone occupant of the second car?

306
00:17:29,319 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 4: Ah?

307
00:17:29,599 --> 00:17:31,839
Speaker 1: Yes, it is the blue beetle.

308
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 2: That looks like the car that passed me the day

309
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,880
there was machine guns. I'll just follow her and may

310
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,079
lead me to the dope peddler's hangouts. They suspect me.

311
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,160
They've got a machine gun pointing out of the rear there, dolls.

312
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,240
I better give them a ruffle with my cintronized machine

313
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,519
gun before they shoot away my windshoes. I hope the

314
00:17:51,559 --> 00:17:53,759
shadowproof glass is good, but I don't know how good.

315
00:17:54,599 --> 00:18:02,319
All right, you'll racks. How do you like this? I

316
00:18:02,519 --> 00:18:05,759

00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:11,680
how they're speeding up? Well, here we go again. It's

318
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,799
flowing down. It's turning into my warehouse. That's my gang,

319
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,920
all right, just the spot I was headed for. Now,

00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:23,200
mister bucks MUSCOTTI for the final showdown. Closing the eye

321
00:18:23,319 --> 00:18:26,000
doors of the warehouse. I'll don't glass them up in

322
00:18:26,039 --> 00:18:30,200

Speaker 1: Here I come.

the underdog, and safety for the citizens of this great citizen.

leaving the Commissioner's daughter on guard over bugs McGarty and

360
00:20:50,279 --> 00:20:53,559
his band of criminals. The cloth behind him sees another.

361
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:54,599
Speaker 2: Car, a police car.

362
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: Will the blue Beetle be overtaken an un mass? I

363
00:20:57,759 --> 00:21:00,839
head a stoplighters changing from green to red? Will the

364
00:21:00,839 --> 00:21:04,279
Blue Beetle defy the traffic regulations to avoid discovery? Or

365
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,559
will he obey the rules of state lighting?

366
00:21:16,519 --> 00:21:19,599
Speaker 2: This the blue Beason himself. I've been following you for

367
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,960

00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,079

373
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,720
I saw you drive out of that warehouse back there,

374
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,640
so you were in with those dop peddlers. That's night figuring.

375
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,039
Off of the manage. It'll be Detective Manigan after I

376
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:55,559
turn you in. Now get good mister Blue. It's too bad, Mannigans,

377
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,119
and we have to take such a lonely winding road

378
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,799
along the waterfront. Listen, mister Blue, the slightest move and

379
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,799
you'll be mister jet Beeton. I am listen. You're interfering

380
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:12,200

00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,960

382
00:22:16,079 --> 00:22:19,160
Cool off? Good night, Detective.

383
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: Mannagan and through the mysterious and drilling character known as

384
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,079
the Blue Beetles. After rounding up a gang of criminals,

385
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,240
slipped the way to let the police take credit for

386
00:22:34,319 --> 00:22:37,839
cleaning up the dope racket. The next morning, Patroman Dan

387
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,519
Garrett dropped him for a visit with doctor Franz.

388
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 4: Well, Lenny, I see you let the police take all

389
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:44,640
the credit again.

390
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: Sure, I can't let my buddies out.

391
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 4: According to newspaper reports, your friend Mannagan got passed into

392
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,799
the river by some of the gangsters whom he had

393
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:53,880
captured single handed.

394
00:22:54,319 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 2: So that's his story, And ain't the way I heard it.

395
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 4: That the Blue Beetle had something to do with it.

396
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,559
Speaker 2: I had win your best, you know. When I met

397
00:23:04,599 --> 00:23:06,519
him this morning, he had the sniffles and he said

398
00:23:06,519 --> 00:23:08,960
he caught a cold. So I asked him if he'd

399
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,680
been in swimming without his sweat and.

400
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 4: Didn't he get wives to the swimming gag.

401
00:23:14,599 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 2: After a minute, he wanted to know how I knew

402
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,400
he'd been in the water. I told him I heard

403
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,680
it from one of the boys. Hey, no, you heard

404
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,359
the latest news. I know, no, what is it? The

405
00:23:23,559 --> 00:23:26,000
third is I've got wind of a plot to sabotage

406
00:23:26,079 --> 00:23:29,079
that new Army pursuit plane that's being tested tomorrow out

407
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:33,119
of the flying field. Sabotage that's my speed. Maybe I

408
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,680
can get him a detail to the flying field, a

409
00:23:36,039 --> 00:23:44,440
doc I gotta get off the headquar th.

410
00:23:44,599 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: Some nation is envious of Uncle Stam's superiority in the

411
00:23:47,279 --> 00:23:51,000
manufacturer of aircraft. What will happen at the airfield? Will

412
00:23:51,039 --> 00:23:53,200
the Blue Beetle be able to uncover this plot in time?

413
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,440
Will he be able to run the criminals to earth?

414
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,279
Those are all questions which will be answered in the

415
00:23:58,319 --> 00:24:09,799
next edition of The Blue Blue Beetle. And now here's

416
00:24:09,839 --> 00:24:11,920
the Blue Beetle himself to say a few words.

417
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 2: Folks, The story you've just heard should teach you the

418
00:24:21,319 --> 00:24:25,000
value of never giving up. Sometimes things are pretty tough,

419
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,359
but don't ever be discouraged. Whether it's a business task

420
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,440
or a school chow. The men and women of today

421
00:24:32,559 --> 00:24:34,720
and the men and women of tomorrow should stick to

422
00:24:34,799 --> 00:24:38,519
that job. You will always find a way out, something

423
00:24:38,599 --> 00:24:41,799
will always turn up, or a friend will lend a

424
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:46,880
helping hands, like doctor Franz in my case. So just

425
00:24:47,079 --> 00:24:47,799
keep trying.
