1
00:00:13,919 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: The Blue Beetle leaping down upon the underworld with Nash Gangman, a.

2
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 2: Friend of the unfortunate.

3
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 3: Enemy of criminals, and this period is all powerful character,

4
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,520
a problem to the police, but a blue state of

5
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,399
a law. In reality, Dan Garrett a rookie patrolman, loved

6
00:00:46,439 --> 00:00:50,039
by everyone but suspected by none of being the Blue Beetle.

7
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,679
As the Blue Beetle, he hides behind a strange mask

8
00:00:53,719 --> 00:00:57,119
in a suit of intelligible blue chain armor, flexible as

9
00:00:57,159 --> 00:00:58,960
silk but scorer than still.

10
00:01:05,159 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 2: Today's episode of The.

11
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 3: Blue Beetle has entitled death Strikes from the East. In

12
00:01:10,599 --> 00:01:15,000
the city's Chinatown under the Orient are restless, uneasy. The

13
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,480
police department expects war between rivals tongues to break out

14
00:01:18,519 --> 00:01:23,359
at any moment, and is prepared. What is behind this uneasiness?

15
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,079
Is it something that concerns only the Chinese? Or is

16
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,799
there an occidental hand at works pulling the strings like

17
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:35,480
a phantom puppeteer And that surely opened the Croman. Dan Garrett,

18
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,439
who in secret is the Blue Beetle, discusses the situation

19
00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:40,959
with his friend and competent doctor Franz.

20
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,439
Speaker 2: In his Little Apothecary shot in.

21
00:01:43,519 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 3: About leaning here, in this candle, it's hard to realize

22
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,480
that you and I are only a few city blocks

23
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,680
away from the Orient. You're referring to Chinatown. Yeah, I

24
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,920
wish I knew what was going on down there. Do

25
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,599
you think rival tongs were about to war on each other?

26
00:01:59,319 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 4: Don't? Then? What do you think is comping this?

27
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,799
Speaker 3: Unless the newspaper speak of the land, resentment, resentment of

28
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:07,280
sum of us?

29
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 4: You mean the police, no, a white way.

30
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 3: But what have we done do that? We don't know

31
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,400
less than now? It isn't that I think there's some

32
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,719
sort of a racket going on down there. Are you

33
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,240
going to do anything about this? Well, I'm going to

34
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,199
ask the chief to assign me to upbeat in Chinatown. Uh.

35
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,919
He said to be careful, Dannay. You could disappear down

36
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,000
there and no one would ever find you. Oh, I'll

37
00:02:28,039 --> 00:02:30,639
be careful, all right. I've got a friend down there,

38
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,240
a Chinese, Yeah, the rest gun keeper ling Wan culture gentlemen.

39
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,360
I've paid his life one and he's never forgotten that.

40
00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:40,840
I can imagine he could be very helpful. Well, I've

41
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,639
got to run down the headquarters now. Maybe Manigan and

42
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,080
I can both get a sign of that district well.

43
00:02:45,759 --> 00:02:49,759
Speaker 2: Good luck to you, Danny boy. Thanks Doc along the polman.

44
00:02:49,879 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 3: Dan Garrett is headed for the audience. You know what

45
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,240

46
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: There's more big.

Speaker 3: Fires all here in China, tous find all.

00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,479
Speaker 2: Everything's so completed.

49
00:03:19,039 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 3: I was a fire and you're never going to get

50
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,759
through here. Well, I'd be willing to bets it. If

51
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,319
I should found the siren on this car, we'd have

52
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,159
a clear track ahead almost immediately.

53
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,039
Speaker 2: Are them both in? Certainly? Chap in a hurry?

Speaker 6: Ah, my friend, the honor about Garret afaid, the whortle.

When the fate of a sun up here the spread

light up on a bark and very eighteen.

72
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 3: I'm afraid the face of the sun has appeared too

73
00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:15,560
late to be of any healthier ling one.

74
00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 6: That's what happened is done.

75

76
00:04:20,319 --> 00:04:20,920

77
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:24,199
Speaker 3: Holding one, this is my friend and brother, Officer Mike Mannigan.

78
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,879
Speaker 6: But that a stake on which is mine is found

79
00:04:26,879 --> 00:04:29,240
out about the president of a friend of the brave

80
00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:32,160
and honored about it. Dan Garet, Well, no, we'd let's

81
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,399
take up the facts in this case.

82
00:04:33,519 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 3: Uh I suppose you let me talk with Ringan Mennigan

83
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,199
or you make a report on this.

84
00:04:38,399 --> 00:04:39,959
Speaker 2: I've had a hunt something.

85
00:04:39,720 --> 00:05:00,519
Speaker 7: Like this was happening frequently here in Chinatown.

86
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,959
Speaker 3: You say, one one, if the merchant's refusals to pay

87
00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:08,519
tribute on they to the one you call the purple Dragon,

88
00:05:09,079 --> 00:05:10,759
but by his merchandise to them.

89
00:05:11,439 --> 00:05:12,639
Speaker 2: The sharp is rect cause.

90
00:05:12,519 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 6: Yours was just more that they, through my friend the

91
00:05:15,959 --> 00:05:19,639
Purple Dragon consoled. But come as up Chinatown.

92
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 3: But what happens if the merchant still refuses to deal

93
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,040
with a purple dragon that's through his place of businesses ret.

94
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 6: Some member of the family that's up there. If that

95
00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:34,319
there's an elder son he meets the hacketman in some

96
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:39,759
dark streets. If a younger son he has found tangles,

97
00:05:40,879 --> 00:05:44,160
if the merchant has on their doctors, one of them

98
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,399
is kidnapped and offered does a human sacrifice so peas

99
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,639
that they that can't ark God that you.

100
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: Need to say that they're actually sacrificed.

101
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 6: Killed that if the ceremony is conducted by the purple Dragon,

102
00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:04,600
which includes human taprifi before the satimony, however, their victant's

103
00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:08,160
hair is cut off and sent to her patents. If

104
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,160
that sufficient amount of money is fat the victim, if they.

105
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,199
Speaker 3: Least good Lord long one, why do the police get

106
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:15,759
informed of this?

107
00:06:16,439 --> 00:06:20,519
Speaker 6: One? Does not seek something that immediately? Say that proper

108
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,800
dragon spies out every fire, A.

109
00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:26,519
Speaker 3: Little one, you're taking a great risk and having me

110
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,240
in your home, but I will show you something will

111
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,759
be done immediately in this state of affairs? Who is

112
00:06:32,879 --> 00:06:34,000
this purple dragon?

113
00:06:34,519 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 4: Has he any idea?

114
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,319
Speaker 3: Must be a pout oriental that.

115
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,199
Speaker 6: Is a throwing suspicion that that purple dragon is not

116
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,439
our allays, our of yours what a white man. I

117
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,000
am sorry to say it to my friend about if

118
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:50,560
they saw.

119
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,639
Speaker 3: Well, then Garrett is going to do something about that,

120
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,279
and he's starting right now. Or swore him to uphold

121
00:06:58,319 --> 00:07:02,879
the law the third justice, to drive every crooked racket

122
00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:03,759
here from this city.

123
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 2: This extortion racket must be smashed.

124
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: Dark, I've never heard of such a fiendish method of

125
00:07:27,839 --> 00:07:31,360
extracting money from honest businessman. And you say ling Wan

126
00:07:31,519 --> 00:07:34,399
believes the Purple Dragon to be a white man, that's right,

127
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:35,399
he must be a.

128
00:07:35,399 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 4: Very rich man.

129
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 3: Yes, I imagine there are very few who refuse to

130
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,000
pay tribute that has purchased their supplies through that cook will.

131
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:44,360
So far as you know what, the Purple Dragon has

132
00:07:44,399 --> 00:07:47,000
confined his extortion activities.

133
00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:47,399
Speaker 4: To Chinese tion.

134
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,079
Speaker 3: Yes, I feel certain that it's his operations extended beyond

135
00:07:51,079 --> 00:07:53,720
the confined with China towns. The police would have heard it.

136
00:07:54,279 --> 00:07:55,959
Speaker 4: I wonder what the ex is about?

137
00:07:56,199 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 3: Or just a minute, dark, I'll buy a paper, read

138
00:07:59,439 --> 00:08:01,720
all about all the commission of Warren's there.

139
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,319
Speaker 2: The kids napp got life?

140
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,399
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you, the d.

141
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: Well what do you know about this?

142
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 4: Doctor? What is it? Danny?

143
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 3: Commissioner Warren's daughter was kidnapped last night and she left

144
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,199
her dance at the casino commissioner warrant, Yes, the commissioner

145
00:08:18,199 --> 00:08:21,079
of markets. Oh, when the work's back of that. The

146
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:23,720
kidnappers can't expect to get much money out of Warren.

147
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 4: He's not one thing.

148
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,439
Speaker 3: Oh and he's one of our most efficient officials, says,

149
00:08:29,439 --> 00:08:32,720
you don't think what is it, Danny, I'm going over

150
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,240
to the Commissioner of Warren's house and make.

151
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 4: A little investigation.

152
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 3: He he wants that if someone just threw stones through

153
00:08:38,879 --> 00:08:40,120
the store window or here.

154
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,399
Speaker 2: It is, there's a note tied to it.

155
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:47,799
Speaker 3: Well, what does it say, Danny, there's the devastating tornado

156
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:53,840
descend upon honorable place of business. If inquisitive patrolman Garrett

157
00:08:53,879 --> 00:08:59,840
extend nose into Chinatown and they signed the Purple Dragons,

158
00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:03,080
let me see that note. Yeah, we're currently written with

159
00:09:03,159 --> 00:09:06,960
a brush at the Chinese US. Yeah. Yeah, but uh,

160
00:09:07,039 --> 00:09:09,720
but it wasn't written by a Chinese. But he need

161
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:14,320
the Chinese writing is distinctive. The technique of Chinese brush

162
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,519
writing is such that even if the Chinese were writing

163
00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:20,679
in English, Steve brushmarks would be distinctively Chinese.

164
00:09:21,399 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 4: Uh.

165
00:09:21,639 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 3: This note was written by a man who at one

166
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,840
time might have lettered addresses on shipping cases. Uh. A

167
00:09:27,919 --> 00:09:30,480
shipping clerk. I would say, you know, that's very interesting.

168
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,559

175
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,840
the way. Well, I gotta be going.

176
00:09:54,879 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 4: Docs.

177
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,120

179
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:16,039
uh Er, Commissioner Warren, I've I've been assigned by the

180
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,080
police commissioner to do a little investigating in this case.

181
00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:20,759

any enemies, Yes, plenty of them. In my positions are

185
00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:33,519
bound to be individuals and groups who resent my interference

186
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,399
with their attempts to extort money from the firms that

187
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,120
do business with the city. Oh, there isn't extortion like it. Well, yes,

188
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,879
at least I'm convinced that many merchants are paying out

189
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,600
money to protect their goods and places of business from

190
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:52,279
destruction in uh in Chinatown, for instance. Well, yes, Well,

large altar in the center of the stage, surrounded by
