Speaker 1: The Blue Beagles.
Speaker 2: Weeping down upon the underworld is Mack Ganglin from a
friend of the unfortunate, enemy of Pillical. In exterior, all
of our ful character a problem to the Polia.
Speaker 3: What a brue state of a law. In reality, Dan
Garrett a look at Patolman, loved by everyone, but suspected
by none of being the Blue People. As the blue people,
he hides behind the strange laps and a sup of
intelvitible blue chain of a flexible assault, but stall and still.
Today's episode of the Blue Beetle is entitled Thoroughbreads always
come through. Horse racing is called the sport of kings,
but common people enjoy it. Also, enormous thumbs of money
are bet each year on horse racers. Enormous sumbs of
money are won and lost each year on horse racers,
And where enormous sums of money are involved, clever crooks
will be ever scheming to divert some of that money
into their dishonest hands. As our story opened the Troman,
Dan Garrett is discussing with his friend and confidence doctor
Franz the Chemist, a recent death at a nearby racetrack
and his possible ramifications. But Denny, what Makeshoo think Buddy
Winston's death was murdered? Something that jockey said before he
died in the hospital. What was that? He said? Say
goodbye to the real white Star upon me? He's a Thoroughbred.
White Star was the name of the horse he's been
riding for some time. Yes, he's owned by the B
and T stable Buddy Rode for them. Is white Star
a Thoroughbred?
Speaker 4: But he is?
Speaker 3: He hasn't raced like one. He's been running down at Greenwood,
but so far he hasn't won a race this season.
In fact, he hasn't even been in the money. Everyone
calls him a dog. Being in the money means coming
in first, second, third, or fourth, doesn't it. That's run
And now he's being brought up here to Parkingham Race Track. Yeah,
mm er, But tell me, Danny, why did Buddy Winston's
last words make you feel he was murdered? His body
was found in that wild stagion funder Mike's stall. Apparently
he'd been kicked in the head by the standard. Yes,
but what was he doing in the stallion stall? He
had no business there. That horse belongs to the Williams Stables.
Oh and this This horse race business is beyond me.
Some horses run around in the circle and one of
them wins, and a few people win some mone me,
a lot of people lose some money. Well, that's just
about riot, Doc, And what are you going to do
about Buddy Winston's dad? First, get Mike Mannigan and run
off of the racetrack and look around. The big race
is on today, isn't it? Yell and White Starr has entered.
What chance has he? Many of the horses in the
race are top flight thoroughbreds, aren't they according to the newspapers. Well, Lanny,
if there's something crooked going on, I know you will
find it out and be in there investigate, you bet,
it's my duty to a poll the law bring every
crook to Just be careful, Lenny, be careful, and good
luck boy, good luck Frank. Doc along, I'm going to
find out what makes White Star twinkle. As I see it, Danny,
Jockie Winston knew so much about something crooked in this
horse racing business and was bumped off to keep his
mouth shut. That's my theory. Tone, Well, what do you
figure he knew? Are some crooked work in connection with
White Star? What bat dog. Say me, boy, that horse
couldn't run fast enough to keep his feet wall. That's
what everybody thinks. I've gotta hunt. She's booked to win
this race today. Oh, don't make me laugh, Dan, He's
been in the money this season and against teobreads like
Sassafras and Blue Regret and San Simon. He looked like
he's running backwards. That the same. I've gotta hunch he'll win, yes,
but take my advice, don't bat that hunch with a
real money bet. Don't worry. I don't play the racers.
I like the seahorses run, but I don't bet on him.
But here we are. You gonna get the tickets when
I passed the cars, Okay, Mike, horse tickets have turn
line for brandstand keep bobbing. Have your honey runny here
too for the grand wise, we don't need no ticket
off of he's man pass. Oh thanks, but I'm off, beauty.
I prefer to my ticket. Okay, I've bumped for you'd like.
Speaker 1: Dunny.
Speaker 3: Did you get the dang? Yeah? Here we are, let's go.
That's why. Okay, how about a poor drink? That is
no thanks, Mike, I'm gonna throw around this cetac and
see what gossip I can stick up. Okay, then hold
a seat way up in the let's see section. See
if I throw up? That? Is he here to finish? Name?
All right, Mike, I'll be back before the big race. Hello,
you're the jockey that's riding White Star today. Yeah, that's right.
Name's Jessup. Yeah, mine's Garrett Roman Dan Garrett. Anything wrong
over a sud No? No, I'm not here to arrest anyone.
I like horses, So I thought i'd come down here
and look around. Oh is that that white starter? Yeah?
That's him. He's a beauty. Certainly is Can he run
like a street? What's been holding him back? Well? I
don't know. I ain't never ridden him in a race.
Winston used to ride him. Oh that's right. I suppose
he gets his name from that uh white star in
his forehead hip. Well, good luck today, thanks Miday. We
cast him in an office. Huh yeah? Are you hearing
the official capacity? Oh no, just shaking hands with the horses. Well,
don't be talking to my jockeys or fooling around with horses.
But for a race? Are you the owner of White Star?
I represent the own us I see think he'll win today.
I mean for that tip, maybe, well, don't put your
money on right out of the star. No, well, you're
a jockey here, and I thinks, never mind what he thinks.
He stakes are right not to think. I tell you
to put your money on some other horse. White Star
isn't ready yet, new track, new jockeys. See okay, Well goodbye,
jessup and good luck and uh thanks for that tip. Mister.
It's a sure thing. I won't bet on a White Star.
Well there's Louis met number one. He's a nice looking Philly.
No Philly to win this race, spacifies for my money. Yeah,
what about White Star? That dog? God, don't make me laugh.
San Simeon likes a just anything can happen in a
mile of an eight yep, I'm taking a long shot
two dollars of fifty to one on White Star. Ain't
peanuts if you'll win, and then they ain't horseways like
this one. He ain't got a chance. He cut up
so much at the post he may even be left. Ah,
look they're at the post. The regrets sure looks good.
San Simeon's nervous lumit. I don't like the number four spots.
White Star's pretty steady, stands there like a thorough bread.
Speaker 5: Oh, come on burn, come on, that's the fast out
and run.
Speaker 3: What's that horse coming through next to the rail number seventh?
Rainy day? Boy, look at him? Come san Zimian's dropping back.
Where's my horse? Yes, he's whooping up, he's past San Simeon.
He's almost Megan then with Rady Day, that's a fast
verse Ui Red second, Brady Date, third way, saw fourth
at the wrning saying semons out of bo White's NAT's
racy Rainy Day. Well, bunny, you know about that. Yeah,
he's moping up a bully bread. Yeah, who a bet
can't stand the pace? I told you an old philliad
with this race. Come on, White Starn, come on Shaan No,
well I be he's past.
Speaker 5: That's a bath at the five.
Speaker 1: Times and he has been done.
Speaker 3: Boy, oh boy, one hundred bucks. I'm went ah. The
race ain't over yet, it is with gost look at
why start coming, Dallas Statch, Come a White Star, Come on, baby,
dusting their races. Come on, White Star up baby a
walk away?
Speaker 1: Why might.
Speaker 3: Well Danny? What did you think of the race, White
Star certainly ran like a thoroughbred. He sure did not
say the bookies must have cleaned up. Why nobody was
bet from one white Stars or the big money was
on the favorites. I have a hunch that the owners
of White Star had plenty of money bet on their horse.
Speaker 5: And what makes you think that?
Speaker 3: I figured they'd be as surprised as anybody else. The
man I met at the stables while I was talking
to jockey Jessup was too anxious to have me bet
on some other horse. I'm suspicion of him. He represents
the owners. Well, why didn't you tell me i'd have
placed a bet on White Star. I didn't think of
it at the time. Hey, are you going me off here? Mike?
I'm not dropping on dark friends, okay, And I may
have a look into this case me sir, it don't
smell right to me. Well, keep your eye open for
the blue beetle. Oh him ah, someday, I hope him.
Can you do let me know I wear that wyll
Good night, Mike, Good night Danny. Oh, hello, hello Danny.
And how are the races? Oh? Great? Some fine horses running.
I heard some of it over the radio. White Star
was a great surprise. Yes, and I can't quite figure
it out. Something's wrong somewhere. Why well, a horse as
good as White Star couldn't run as poorly as he
has in the passed. You can't disguise class. Wait a minute,
disguise that's it? You got something? Oh, most say? I
wonder if Oh, it's fantastic.
Speaker 4: Uh excuse me, Danny, Yes, oh, yes, yes, he's here,
just a minute. It it's for you, Danny.
Speaker 3: Ah. A young lady's voice, thanks, Hello, Yes, who Millie
jessep Oh, the jockey's sister. Yes, what I see? When
did it happen? Yes? I certainly will where. Yes, I'll
be there in fifteen minutes. Goodbye, something important, Danny? Yes, Doc,
Dad was Jessup's sister on the phone. You know the jockey,
he wrote, white Star. I met him today. He's been
arrested on some trumped up charge. He remembered me and
asked her to call me, pray to call me himself.
Speaker 4: Do you think it has anything to do with the
race this afternoon?
Speaker 3: I'm sure of it. Well, so long, Doc, I'm going
down at headquarters. The Blue Beetle might fly tonight, so
I'll be back later for the blue Beetle chain, armor
and mass. I'll be here and have everything ready Dan,
Thanks Doc, goodbye. Oh tell me all about it, Miss Jess.
Speaker 6: Well, just after the race today, when Eddie, my brother,
was changing his clothes, he overheard a conversation that led
him to believe that White Star was going to be
shipped to another track tonight.
Speaker 3: But white Star is supposed to race him the Alice
Whiteman Memorial Stakes here next Saturday. That's right.
Speaker 6: So my brother went to mister Gottschalk, who represents the
B and P Stables, and asked him about.
Speaker 3: What he overheard. What did Godshalk say?
Speaker 6: He told Eddie his ears were to be hm. A
little later, somebody went to the racetrack stores and claimed
that they've been robbed with some diamond couplings. A search
was made and they were found in Eddie's locker. But
I know he didn't do it, mister Gibb, I'm positive
he didn't.
Speaker 3: Eddie. Isn't that kind of a boy? Oh no, Miss Jess,
don't get excited. I'm sure this is a frame up
to get your brother out of the way for a while.
He'd be afraid to talk to you.
Speaker 4: Himself.
Speaker 3: Do we ask me to that was wise? Does crooked
work going on somewhere and I'm gonna find out what
it is. What are you going to do? Buck it
over with someone who will clear up this racehorse mystery
and if it's a crooked racket, he'll smash it in
quick order. What is the explanation of Jockie Jessop's arrest?
Why is White Star to be transported to another track?
How can a losing horse be made into a thoroughbred overnight?
Will Dan Garrett solve the mystery or will he turn
the job over to the Blue Veto In another part
of the city.
Speaker 7: Interesting instructions are being given over the telephone.
Speaker 3: Uh, look, Spinella clever with the paint brush. It's done
a suall job on that horse. Sage brush.
Speaker 4: It kept him looking like a real White Star. Yeah,
they were.
Speaker 3: Bred to have the same confirmation. He may not be
able to run like him, but he sure looks like him.
But yeah, yeah, I know, I didn't know. It was difficult,
but they're getting paid plenty. Here's what I want you
to do, worshipping White Star to a little track in
the South, and I want you to disguise him so
that no wonder do what is that he is? Where
is the blue beetle flying tonight out to the race track.
There's no horse racing at night. No, but there's a
horse moving. The blue beetle is going to point out wine.
Speaker 4: Well, be careful, Danny.
Speaker 3: I uh, I inspected your blue chain, armor and mask,
and he seems in perfect condition. Flank stark h taking
anything along this.
Speaker 4: You're a magic ray and blue people's spotlight.
Speaker 3: Just a little paint remover, paint remover, Yes, I've got
a hunch of little paint remover. May come in handy
to remove it the sky. So I hope you're successful
for the wise I was following out the Bluebeto is
off to the race track a niche pull a horts
van in here and park. Okay, I saw put it
into the stables. I'll see if it's finale is finished
with White Star. If he has, I'll give you the

A good wife. Finally got the blue beetle over the Latin.

come on, make it trapping down here we go?
Speaker 4: What else? The Blue Beata certainly had a Nato escape
that tank.
Speaker 3: Yes, Spinella hit me from behind the lantern and knocked
me unconscious. When I came to, I was in a
water tank next to what had been White Star's store.
The whole place was ablaze.
Speaker 4: So how did you escape burning to death?
Speaker 3: The Asbesta's lining you made for my blue beet limber
save me? Oh?
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, I remember. I made it so if some
racketeer happened to get a hold of your electric raid Guten,
he couldn't burn you to death in your blue beetle armor.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, what became of Manninggan? Didn't you
say he was there?
Speaker 3: Yes? But a bug named froggy knocked him out. I
didn't see anything of him afterwards.
Speaker 4: Did you see the morning paper?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: What did they have to say about the fire? U?
He read it? Uh uh. The fire caused considerable damage
to stables at Parkingham Race Track last night. Several horses
were burned thirst It was thought White Star had been burned,
but later the sensation of stakes winner was found in
one of the stables, not touched by the fire. His
book to run in the Alice white Man Memorial Stakes
on Saturday. Say something's rotten somewhere? What what do you mean?
A White Star was in the part of the stables
the fern last night, but he was disguised by a
court of paint. I caught one of the crook the
crooks at work that says they were in the paper
or But if those crooks can disguise one horse, they
can disguise another. What are you going to do? And
I don't have a look at this white Star.
Speaker 4: Just a minute, Danny, I see who's out front in
the store.
Speaker 3: Oh he doc is Donny here? Yes, yes, he's in
the back. Might a cut on your chin?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Sure? A horse kicked me last night. Hello Mike, what's
about a horse kicking you? Oh? Hello, Danny, Yes, you see,
I was investigating this White Star case and I got
kicked by a horse. Oh that's too bad. They but
you're just in time. I'm going out of the track myself.
Why don't you come along. Maybe you can find the
horse that kicked you and arrist him. That's a good idea.
Come on, now, let's go. I got the car outside,
you wry doc. If I find out what I expect
to find, the blue Beetle will fly again tonight.
Speaker 4: Danny, would you like to try out the affordable television set?
It's ready for the test.
Speaker 3: That's great. I'll pick it up when I come back
to my blue Beetle chain armor. And there's goodbye, goodbye,
and good luck. All arrangements have been made, gentlemen. Sage Brush,
the guy's that's White Star were raced in the White
Men Memorial on Saturday and Blues. What about the real
White Star. He'll run a chady side, this guy's the
sage Brush and win. We'll get long ard on him
and clean up. Who's riding here on Saturday? Oh and you, Jackie,
it's his first big race. You'll think he's riding on
the real white Star.
Speaker 4: What's that humming sound?
Speaker 3: Maybe electric fan in the other room. One about Jessup.
Doesn't he suspect he's out on bail? He'll be kept
away from the race back. If he opens his mouth
about anything, he'll get what we gave Winston. I hope
your scheme works. We've invested plenty, and we expect to
realize on our investment. I don't worry, gentlemen. Your investment
is state. You've already cleaned up plenty on yesterday's race.
You'll make a fortune if you'll let me run things.
One about the policeman and the blue people that discovered
Spinelli and Froggy, as you call them at work. They've
been disposed of. Their mouths have been closed forever. What's
that noise?
Speaker 4: The blue people come to life?
Speaker 3: Yes too, beat Buddy Winston can't be brought back to life. Murderous,
sure of you, your blue people, go ahead and shoot
cut shock, But first look at this little black mark.
Not interested in little black bosses. You're in my way,
and every action, every word you say is being registered
in this portable television set. That was all my heart.
Electric hand, you were ending behind the curtains televising everything
that took place here. The police, Yes, the police, they've
been receiving everything I've picked up here. The case is complete, gentlemen,
with every television set owner in the city has added witnesses.
The blue Beader was hit with these crooks. Hey put
the braces on them, boys, and I a shure of
the Blue Beatles. I'll handcuff him. Like all ry to
hurt him, Anagan, but the Blue Beetle has to keep
his hands free. Goodbye, gentlemen, It'll be a long time
before you see another horse race. Well.
Speaker 4: I can laugh now, Danny when I think how you
bluffed those crooks. But at the time I was for yes.
Speaker 3: If I'd known you'd left a two bottle of the
portable television set, I'd have had to use different methods.
Luckily the crooks didn't know it. They were so surprised
and frightened they made a full confession when Mannigan and
the boys got them down the headquarters there. The next time,
i'll make a closer check. I'd have never forgiven myself
if harm had come to you, or forget a duck.
You're the best friend a fellow could have. I don't
know what I'd have done without your health. Oh, you'd
have come through successfully just the same. Remember thulebraids always
come through.
Speaker 7: And so another crooked racket was smashed by the Blue Beagle.
What new assignments will the Blue Beagle set for himself
in his crusade against crime? This question will be answered
in the next episode of The Blue Beagle. The Blue
Beetle is a copyrighted box feature appearing in Mystery Men
and Comics magazine.
