00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: The Blue Beetles leaping down upon the underworld. A mash

2
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:37,240
gangland comes a friend of the unfortunate, enemy of criminals,

3
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:41,960
and it still is all powerful talacot, a problem to

4
00:00:42,039 --> 00:00:45,640
the police, but a true state of law in reality.

5
00:00:45,759 --> 00:00:49,479
Dan Garrett a rookie patrolman, loved by everyone, but suspected

6
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,640
by none of being the Blue Beetles. As the Blue Beetle,

7
00:00:53,679 --> 00:00:55,799
he hides behind a strange mask, in a suit of

8
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,439
intelegrable blue chain armor, flexible assilt, but coller than still.

9
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:10,439
Today's episode of The Blue Beetle is entitled The Sea Serpent.

10
00:01:11,519 --> 00:01:13,760
Rumors have reached the city that a sea serpent has

11
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,680
been ravaging the nearby coast. Already several bodies have been

12
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,400
washed ashore, each of them has borne the mark of

13
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:25,640
a serpent spang What is behind these rumors? Are they true?

14
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,719
Is there really a sea serpent ravaging the coast? Or

15
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,239
is there a definite plan on foot to frighten people

16
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:36,159
away from the shore resorts. As I Stowy opened, Doctor

17
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,799
Frans is listening to the radio while dusting the shells

18
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:42,159
of his little apothecary shops and awaiting the usual morning

19
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:45,200
call of his young friend for Throman Dan Garrett, who

20
00:01:45,239 --> 00:01:56,680
in secret is really the blue beetle owning that Hello, Hello, Danny, Hey,

21
00:01:56,879 --> 00:02:00,000
what's thatatter? Radio? Don't tell me than a modern eye.

22
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:02,719
This coin little shop of yours, it's not that bad.

23
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,200
I guess that I'd like to have a little music

24
00:02:05,239 --> 00:02:07,959
quince in the wild. The customers also like to get

25
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,479
the baseball calls from the new behind. What are you

26
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:15,000
and Mike Mannigan doing these days? Any special attirement? No,

27
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,199
not the little choir, since we take those racketeers out

28
00:02:18,199 --> 00:02:20,599
of Chinacount. But what do you think about the sea

29
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,000
serpent scare? I don't really know what to think. Other

30
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,080
such things as sea sapent snuck where certain sea serpent

31
00:02:28,159 --> 00:02:32,039
has been associated with huge dragon like creatures we read about.

32
00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:34,800
But as a matter of fact, the serpent can be

33
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,840
any side. Butting of the purse. The bodies of these

34
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,719
vaders who were bitten showed the signs of having been poisoned.

35
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,120
That's change. We interrupt our regular programs to bring you

36
00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:49,159
a special news. Bull of them Bread's physics. The body

37
00:02:49,199 --> 00:02:52,360
of another beat is brought ashore by a lifeguard. Dissolved

38
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,719
the new the Beato a man about fifty showed signs

39
00:02:56,759 --> 00:02:59,919
of displays while swimming about three hundred feet off shore.

40
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,520
I cries for help. We're immediately answered by a lifeguard

41
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,319
who rushed to his rescue. However, when brought the shore,

42
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,039
he fails to respond to effort the Great Raider and

43
00:03:12,199 --> 00:03:15,639
died on his way to the hospital. Doctors who examined

44
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,759
the man reported finding marks upon the man's leg resembling

45
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:23,280
snake bite. They contend that the man did not grown,

46
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,520
but died from the effects of Pardon late news. Dispassions

47
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,919
will be given over the station as the seas we

48
00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:35,680
continue on with our regularly scheduled quot same. In fact,

49
00:03:35,759 --> 00:03:38,000
I get the whole thing looks very fishy to me,

50
00:03:38,479 --> 00:03:40,960
if you'll excuse the funds saying what are you going

51
00:03:41,039 --> 00:03:43,759
to do about that when our territory doesn't extend beyond

52
00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:46,280
the city limits. But I'm gonna ask the commissioner to

53
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:48,280
that office. The managing to knee take a run down

54
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:50,719
the breakers. Put he in, see what we can uncover.

55
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,319
And that's a good idea, Danny, the sea air will

56
00:03:53,319 --> 00:03:55,479
do you good. If I go, I'll dropping the sea

57
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,159
when I get back. Are you wearing the poison? Detective

58
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,280
ring I gave you, Danny wouldn't be a got it.

59
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,400
They find it useful on this case. Remember the stone

60
00:04:04,479 --> 00:04:07,719
turns from green to yellow, and the questions the police.

61
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,840
I know, well so long that if I put the

62
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,159
seat pep and I'll stuff him and bring him back

63
00:04:13,199 --> 00:04:31,680
to you. Ye serve the dark driving through these pine

64
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,920
woods from the rain doesn't make diving it easier, you

65
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,439
know it. It seems famous chairs to be walking on

66
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,759
a cag in cities. They don't see the light. Somehow,

67
00:04:41,439 --> 00:04:43,519
I guess he miss the feel of the police captain

68
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,680
kind of me police died. He still look like a

69
00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:50,360
cop man again, do why, Danny y? Nobody'd ever mistake

70
00:04:50,399 --> 00:04:53,199
you for anything but an honestly goodness cop. Well, then

71
00:04:53,319 --> 00:04:56,439
that's where they are. I am, and I'm proud of it. Hey,

72
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,120
there there's a light ahead now that must be the

73
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:01,519
lake cause, and they can put us up for the night.

74
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,040
We can drive over the breakers city in the morning. Yeah,

75
00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:06,399
that's the shot ideas, I hain't pulled it in, and

76
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,240
you'll run in and see if they can take care

77
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:22,160
of us. Eh, good easy? And the way outside, isn't it? Yes?

78
00:05:22,759 --> 00:05:26,120
Well weather, it's the duck. Yeah, traveling far. My friend

79
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,439
and I on our way to Breaker City. We saw

80
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,519
your lights and decided to stop off for the night.

81
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:33,800
Uh are you the clerk? I am the owner? Uh

82
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,360
oh several hotel and the lake. Yeah, I I beg

83
00:05:37,439 --> 00:05:41,439
your pardon, got any accommodations? Sorry, but we're all failed up.

84
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,839
Business must be good. There's the rainforce to courtess inside. Yeah,

85
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,759
it isn't the rain. We're having the best season we

86
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,680
ever had. That's so. I thought the summer results were

87
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,160
complaining about poor business. Not here, fine man a lake. Well,

88
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,279
I guess we'll have to keep going. It isn't far

89
00:06:00,439 --> 00:06:03,759
to break the city. You'll find plenty of accommodation there.

90
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,319
If you're filled up, there'll be two. I hardly think so.

91
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,839
They're not doing so well this season. The sea serpent

92
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,879
scare seems to be keeping people away from the sea shore.

93
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,720
But one man's misfortune is another man's game. We seem

94
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:22,160
to be getting the business that usually goes to the

95
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:29,079
sea show. That's so well, that's very interesting to night.

96
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,639
I'm more anxious than ever to get the Breakers City.

97
00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:48,360
Say daddy, hey, this is a swim room they gave

98
00:06:48,439 --> 00:06:51,519
us overlooking the ocean and only four bucks doubles, and

99
00:06:51,879 --> 00:06:54,199
we must be the only guest in the hotel. There

100
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,680
the lobby is as did is amuse you ab after

101
00:06:56,759 --> 00:06:59,600
closing hours. How about a bit before we tell him

102
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,399
that's a good idea. Let's go in the coffee shop here?

103
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:10,199
Uh uh? Then what let be uh some jobber the

104

00:07:20,759 --> 00:07:22,839

00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,920
in the boardlock. Isn't that John Mason or the chronicle? Yeah?

111
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:37,879
Then she's coming this way and there's a man father

00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,240
and look after you and miss map Well, Danny, I

118
00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:05,800
was never so glad to see any one in my life.

119
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,720
Are you all right? Yes? What about officer manniguant here?

120
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,720
He can't walk as be alright? If Danny and live here,

121
00:08:12,839 --> 00:08:15,680
shoulder to Lena and come on, Mike, we'll get you

122
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,000
into the hotel and call a doctor in the morning.

123
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,800
We'll send you back to the city a wounded hero. Okay,

124
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,600
but right now I want that piece of apple pye

125
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:38,080
alamore with geese and the cup of dripper. I say, John,

126
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:40,440
you talked as one of the lifeguards who has made

127
00:08:40,519 --> 00:08:44,000
several rescues. Yes, I told him I was investigating the

128
00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:46,639
sea surpings guy for the chronicle. What did he say?

129
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,039
He said that in each case he'd seen something that

130
00:08:50,159 --> 00:08:52,080
looked like a certain tail lash out of the water

131
00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:55,120
just before victim cried for help. Have you ever found

132
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,200
anyone else who claims to have seen the sea serpents? No?

133
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,399
I haven't. Hm. Hm, that's great, yes, isn't it. What

134
00:09:03,519 --> 00:09:05,559
did you pick up this man who was following him

135
00:09:05,759 --> 00:09:08,360
in the restaurant on the boardwalk. He came in there

136
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,399
I was eating and fall with me when I left. Well,

137
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,559
this seat serpent is scary. Is either a practical jokers

138
00:09:13,639 --> 00:09:16,879
plan gone haywire? But if the well thought out scheme.

139
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,600
The ruin the season for Breakers City doesn't look like

140
00:09:19,639 --> 00:09:22,559
a joke to me. Misus Down's, the owner of this hotel,

141
00:09:22,639 --> 00:09:25,960
is ready to commit suicide. He's losing thousands of dollars

142
00:09:26,039 --> 00:09:29,039
every day. Well, you better get some sleep. I'll see

143
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,200
you in the morning. What about Manigan. Oh, I'll put

144
00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:33,080
him on the train and ship him back to the city.

145
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,919
The doc said his wound wasn't serious, but he won't

146
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,960
be much help to his hair. How about meeting me

147
00:09:38,039 --> 00:09:40,679
out on the pier and pulling him the next sunrise

148
00:09:40,759 --> 00:09:43,879
and they may catch a seat, serpent. I'll be there

149
00:09:44,000 --> 00:10:00,240
with some salt for his tail. Any way, better marry

150
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,279
John has starting to haul in the net. I'm right

151
00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:05,639
with you. Oh there's mister Downes. I want you to

152
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,080
meet him. Good morning, mister Downes. Oh hello, miss Mason.

153
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,960
This is damn jaff beautiful days. Say maybe to some people,

154
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,120
but not to me. If you seem down in the mouth,

155
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,519
you'd be down in the mouth. If everything you'd drive

156
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,200
for is gradually slipping away from you. I understand you're

157
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,840
financially interested in Becker's City. I own the Sunset Hotel

158
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,240
for one thing. If peace sep and business is making

159
00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:28,759
the tough for you. Help is not the word. I'm

160
00:10:28,759 --> 00:10:30,840
on a special assignment in the New York City Police

161
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,600
Department investigating this case. Oh are you well? I certainly

162
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,279
hope you can clear up this mystery. It's costing us

163
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,879
hotel and concession on therese thousands of dollars a day

164
00:10:39,919 --> 00:10:44,120
to keep open, and there's no business except day excursionists. Well,

165
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,919
I'll certainly do what I can. Er. Suppose you and

00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,399
He didn't seem the nam making by the big one. H.

188
00:12:03,519 --> 00:12:05,919
I guess I'll have to fry again. What's the use murder?

189
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,039
You won't find anything. You might as well admit will

190
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,200
licks and close up. I give a lock and know

191
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,639
just got out there. Well, I'm going to find out

192
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,679
if it's still there. Why what you going to do.

193
00:12:17,919 --> 00:12:20,159
I'm going to find out if he's waters and says

194
00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:22,879
the bathing hit it down, you're not think yes, I am.

195
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,279
I'm going into that water. If the Sea seven is

196
00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:29,759
there and wants human pleash, you can have mine. My god,

197
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,840
that's mad one. If I got to lose, I have

198
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,279
no family. Everything I have is invested in this beat.

199
00:12:36,919 --> 00:12:39,639
If I can bathe here holding everybody else. I'm gonna

200
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,559
get it over. It happened. He's gone crazy with water.

201
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,600
Here you life, God trab him? Oh st he good,

202
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,279
Let us the chip. I'm going after him. No damn,

203
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,320
don't go the life. God keep your right one and everybody.

204
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,279
I'm going into No, Daddy, no, poor me, don't. I'm

205
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,840
going out in that rowboat under the pier. Mister Downs

206
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,240
swimming away from the cab. He's a strong swimmer. I

207
00:13:03,399 --> 00:13:05,720
ever meet him, do it? This thing is played on

208
00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:08,720
his mind for a long time. Will one of the

209
00:13:08,799 --> 00:13:12,720
dodger says, help you men? Then for a doctor. I'm

210
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:17,600
formed the lifestyle station for a conboy life. Mister Downs

211
00:13:17,639 --> 00:13:21,480
has said the white gun comes happened to me. He's

212
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:27,759
not doll that. I gotta thinking, heyst O, the desert

213
00:13:27,879 --> 00:13:31,480
comes to Downs. He's swimming. I know that. I know

214
00:13:38,799 --> 00:13:41,039
what is the slimy thing that lurks in the waters

215
00:13:41,039 --> 00:13:44,080
off Breakers City? Is it a sea serpent on a

216
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,480
pizonous fish? Will Danny solve his mystery or will the

217
00:13:48,519 --> 00:14:02,480
blue beetle have to go into action? I played her

218
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,039
at the Breaker City Hospital. Dan Garrett and Joe Mason

219
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,440
are waiting outside one of the private rooms for Professor Meredith.

220
00:14:12,279 --> 00:14:16,120
How is the professor mister Downs is dead dead? Yes,

221
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,840
didn't the co motor help him? Mister Downs didn't die

222
00:14:19,879 --> 00:14:23,120
from the effects of submersion. Learned I from the effects

223
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,000
of a poisonous bite? Then you think there want two

224
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,840
punctures on mister Downson's laid like those left by the

225
00:14:29,919 --> 00:14:32,840
fangs of a fairly large serpent. No one saw anything

226
00:14:32,919 --> 00:14:35,960
in the water. Strange how the effects of that serpent's

227
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,240
bite is exactly like the bite of a cobra. The

228
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,159
reactions while identical. Could it be a water marcison? You

229
00:14:43,399 --> 00:14:46,799
don't find water markersons in the ocean, and their venom

230
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,720
doesn't work in the same way it works on the blood.

231
00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:54,639
Kobra's venom works on the nerve center, polyzes the muscle

232
00:14:55,279 --> 00:14:57,879
controlling the act of breeding. Could it Could it be

233
00:14:57,919 --> 00:15:02,039
a fish? I hardly think so. No unchos were more

234
00:15:02,159 --> 00:15:04,679
like those of a fairly large snake. As long as

235
00:15:04,679 --> 00:15:07,320
any cobras that live in the water are they The

236
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,519
onlyest thing I can think of is a serpent, which

237
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,279
is found in the tropical waters of the Pacific Ocean,

238
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:18,200
but it's never been found in these waters. Mm, well,

239
00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:20,879
I've found out what I want to know. What are

240
00:15:20,919 --> 00:15:22,799
you going to do now? I'm going back to the

241
00:15:22,879 --> 00:15:25,679
city to check with my friends. Got friends may be

242
00:15:25,759 --> 00:15:27,759
able to help on this case. When are you coming back?

243
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,159
I'm not sure. Well, I think I'll stay a while.

244
00:15:32,159 --> 00:15:33,519
I don't see what I'd like to pick up in

245
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,360
this case. Mine. You say, okay, but keep away from

246
00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:56,120
those two lifeguards. They're bad medicine. You so you suspect

247
00:15:56,159 --> 00:15:59,360
the two lifeguards of being implicated in these dead Yes,

248
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,519
I do. I'm convinced of it. What makes you so sure?

249
00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:05,120
All the time I was rowing the boat and the

250
00:16:05,159 --> 00:16:08,679
two lifeguards and mister Downs back the shore, a stone

251
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,240
and the poison detector ring was right yellow. That the

252
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,879
poison and mister Downs Bobby. Oh, you see, after they

253
00:16:15,919 --> 00:16:19,559
took him away, the stone was still yellow. What about

254
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,519
the man who tried to abdust Miss Mason and shot Lannagan.

255
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,080
Did he say he said, move one of the guards.

256
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,279
He was one of the lifeguards, but I didn't let

257
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,240
on I recognize him. I didn't wanna spoil my chance

258
00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:33,039
of getting enough evidence to convict him in this larger

259
00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:35,840
case by showing my hand in the case of simple

260
00:16:35,879 --> 00:16:39,159
as dogs. I'm very wise, very wise. Well what are

261
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,600
you going to do now? Put on my blue beetle

262
00:16:41,679 --> 00:16:47,559
armor and mask and uh eye lights for it. Hello,

263
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:54,559
the trobman down gathered. Yes, yes, he's here. It's see

264
00:16:54,559 --> 00:17:00,759
you Danny, long distance, long distance, probably John Mason. Hello.

265
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:07,720
Oh hello, Professor Meredith. What Joe Mason has disappeared, but

266
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,519
she hasn't checked out of the hotel. Well, I can't

267
00:17:13,559 --> 00:17:16,440
get down there myself, but I'll see the teverle of

268
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,680
our best men are sent down right away. Thanks for calling. Goodbye.

269
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,759
Watch the troubles Daddy, listen if someone had kidnapped Joan Mason.

270
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,440
Help me with my Blue People costume, with your dark life, certainly, Danny, certainly.

271
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,480
Uh where are you going? I'm driving down the breakers City,

272
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,519
which you just told Professor Merredith you weren't contact right,

273
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:54,680
and Garrett isn't. But the Blue People is certainly pleasant

274
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,960
driving down the moonlight than it was in the rain. Well,

275
00:17:59,039 --> 00:18:02,200
there's somebody walking ahead of me in the road. He's

276
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,119
got a long stick and a flashlight. Probably been fishing

277
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:15,200
by moonlight on the left. Oh, thanks, mister, see you

278
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,880
going on masquerade in that costume? Uh uh yes, uh,

279
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,519
that's the blue beetle. Say I've played the blue beetle

280
00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:26,119
you have? Huh what do people say about him? Well,

281
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,720
he say he's a crusader against crime, and then he's invulnerable,

282
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:35,799
probably the truth. See that's well. Oh where are you going?

283
00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:39,680
Oh I'm taking a ride in the moonlight? Are you

284
00:18:39,839 --> 00:18:43,480
going fishing in the moonlight? No, I'm going home. Oh

285
00:18:44,519 --> 00:18:46,720
I thought that was a fishing ride you had there? No,

286
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,960
that's for catching snake. Here you you see these fot

287
00:18:50,039 --> 00:18:53,440
dan dollars? Oh yes, yes, I say it. Now what

288
00:18:53,559 --> 00:18:57,119
do you do with the snakes? Sell 'em? Tell 'em

289
00:18:58,079 --> 00:19:00,480
to whom? Ah, a couple of fellow the fact, down

290
00:19:00,519 --> 00:19:04,640
in the woods. What do they do with them? Eat them?

291
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,279
Eat 'em? Folks? Don't eat rattlesnakes? You mean to say,

292
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:14,160
you catch rattlesnakes alive? Sell them? Sure? Dead rattlers ain't

293
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:20,240
no good to them folks. Mm they If I gave

294
00:19:20,279 --> 00:19:22,839
you a dollar, you think you could lead me to

295
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,440
the place where these fellas you mentioned live? Oh? Sure

296
00:19:26,519 --> 00:19:29,160
I can't. But you don't have to pay me your dollar,

297
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,599
miss d I'll take you that for nothing. Okay, done,

298
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,440
you'll get the dollar just the same. I'll turn around

299
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,839
to the next post road. We'll pay a moonlight visit

300
00:19:38,960 --> 00:20:01,720
to your rafflesnake buyers. So, miss Mea, it's very unfortunate

301
00:20:01,839 --> 00:20:04,160
for you that you've got as far as you did

302
00:20:04,319 --> 00:20:10,480
with your investigation. I'm sure your newspaper will miss your

303
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,839
valuable services. What are you going to do with me?

304
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,319
Make sure you won't disclose the information you have to anyone.

305
00:20:18,759 --> 00:20:21,200
You can't get away with them. Oh, you are in error,

306
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,960
miss Mason. We have gotten away with it in the past.

307
00:20:25,559 --> 00:20:29,799
We will again. The vacation business has been detoured to

308
00:20:30,039 --> 00:20:33,839
Pine man A Lake. It will still follow that detour

309
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,400
after your body is found floating in the ocean, our

310
00:20:38,559 --> 00:20:44,200
victim of a poisonous sea serpent. You wouldn't dare, wouldn't dare?

311
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:50,160
Reab well er. What suppose we leave miss Mason with

312
00:20:50,319 --> 00:20:54,920
the raj are there for a while while we step outside.

313
00:20:55,839 --> 00:21:00,960
Her education has been neglected. She has never met a

314
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,759
six foot coobra. No, you can't do that. You can't

315
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:12,319
laise the lid of his cage and let him. Yes,

316
00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:15,400
the blue beetle, he's going to nip harder than your

317
00:21:15,519 --> 00:21:18,880
cobra can strike open the cage, Joe, then dive out

318
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,319
the window. I've got the blue beetle covered with this gun.

319
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,160
Heave your bullets. You can't injure the blue beetle. That

320
00:21:24,319 --> 00:21:27,200
no white guy, Well, how do you like this? Let

321
00:21:27,319 --> 00:21:30,559
that be a lesson to you. Never telegraph your punches,

322
00:21:30,799 --> 00:21:33,799
that of you blue beetles. Oh no you don't. Oh

323
00:21:34,599 --> 00:21:36,680
how do you like this blue beetle? Or rat o

324
00:21:36,799 --> 00:21:41,240
snake around your neck? You're a fool. No snake can

325
00:21:41,279 --> 00:21:45,279
waite through this chain armor. Yeah, I give it back

326
00:21:45,319 --> 00:21:48,039
to you. Take him off, Take him off. He'll kill me.

327
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,480
He'll kill you. Yellow on your corner, you murderer, cripple.

328
00:21:54,039 --> 00:21:57,000
Don't tell the king cobras. Get me out of here.

They're gonna let me out here. I'll palyze him with

Don't let to lave me here. Get up on this

343
00:22:57,799 --> 00:23:01,839

00:23:02,039 --> 00:23:06,519
I will just pull the king Copra's box right here

345
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:13,319
under you and open the lid. Then we'll shut the

346
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,359
door and let the cobra god you till the police arrive.

347
00:23:17,519 --> 00:23:22,519
I don't think you'll try to escape. Come on, miss Mason.

348
00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:25,519
I'll drop you off your hotel. You can phone a

349
00:23:25,599 --> 00:23:28,160
front paid scoop your paper and the heading will be

350
00:23:28,279 --> 00:23:33,240
seized up and hope exposed. Murderous rackets mess by the

351
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:47,519
blue beetles. But Denny, uh, how did the life guards operate?

352
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,079
They couldn't take the cobra into the water with them,

353
00:23:50,319 --> 00:23:53,319
or they they extracted the poison from his poison facts

354
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,440
use it in two hypodermic needles, tape together the hypodermic

355
00:23:57,559 --> 00:24:00,839
syringes were small and easily can field in the palm

356
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,559
of their hands. But when did they inject the poison

357
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,839
into their victim as they rescued them. If some poor

358
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,839
devil was take him with a cramp and called for help,

359
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,720
the lifeguards would swim off or roll out to him.

360
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,400
Then when they got to him, they'd put their twin

361
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,160
needles in him and give him a shot of poison.

362
00:24:18,519 --> 00:24:21,319
Those points made a double incision, and then they'd bring

363
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,119
him in the shore to die a painful death from

364
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,400
cobra venom. What were the battle snakes used for to

365
00:24:27,519 --> 00:24:30,599
feed the cobras, Professor of Metati told me. Then, uh,

366
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,839
I see, Well, how do you account for the stories

367
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,920
of people actually seeing the sea serpent? Oh? They let

368
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,640
their imaginations run riot after the lifeguard started the serpent story.

369
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,839
M I see, And you got your first clue from

370
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,279
the poison detector ring I gave you, Yes, Doc, it

371
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,039
was your gift to me that really saved the businessmen

372
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,200
of breakers city from ruination. Where you did a good job, dadday, Yes,

373
00:24:54,319 --> 00:24:57,839
but I'm glad it over. I never liked snakes. I'll

374
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,279
fight them whether they call on their belly a.

375
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:13,599
Speaker 2: Walk on two feet, and so another fiendish racket was

376
00:25:13,599 --> 00:25:14,799
smashed by the Blue Beetle.

377
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,559
Speaker 1: What will Dan Garrett's next the time it be? Where

378
00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:21,039
will the Blue Beetles strike next in his crusade against

379
00:25:21,039 --> 00:25:23,920
