The Blue Beetle.
We've been down upon the underworld as Max Ganglin,
and the mysterious, all-powerful caracters
who is a problem to the police,
say to fall off.
In reality, Dan Garret,
I will keep it open.
Gloves by everyone,
let's suspect it by none of being the Blue Beetle.
And the Blue Beetle,
he hides behind a frame of mass
and a suit of intenitable,
blue-shane armor,
flexible as silk,
but strong as steel.
Today's transcribe episode
of the Fox Theater,
the Blue Beetle,
is entitled,
the asylum of Dr. Dreir,
who is Dr. Dreir,
and what sort of asylum does he run?
Is he a friend of the unfortunate,
or is he a schemer against law and order?
As our story opens today,
the trauma in Dan Garret,
who is really the Blue Beetle,
is entering the little apothecary shop
of his friend and competent,
Dr. Phan McKenna.
Hello, Doc.
Cash customer.
Oh, hello, Jack.
What's new?
There's a young lady waiting for you.
The young lady, where?
Back in the laboratory.
What does she want?
Who is she?
Diana, too.
Thank her children's foster daughter.
What's she doing here?
I don't know, Danny.
How did you medical back and talk with her?
She seems very much disturbed about something.
All right, I'll talk with her.
Good evening, Miss Jill.
Oh, good evening.
You're for touring with Dan Garret, aren't you?
Yes, that's right.
Oh, no, glad you've come.
I've been waiting some time.
What is it you wish to see me about?
Well, my father.
Well, rather, my foster father.
Is this a pain?
Is this a pain?
Yes.
You're sure he hasn't gone on town or business?
Oh, I did.
He hasn't known he left for me.
I'm going away for a long rest.
Don't worry.
Linus will take care of everything.
Love dead.
Oh, this doesn't look as if your father had been kidnapped or met for a play.
Is he hand-writing, isn't it?
Yes, I think so, but I'm not certain.
Any suspicious circumstances make stuff for the disappearance?
Yes, they are.
What are they?
Well, for one thing.
Dad's nephew, Linus Weatherby.
Linus Weatherby?
Yes, you know him.
I'm only by reputation.
Why the playboy?
He has no idea.
Well, he's Dad's nephew and an officer of Dad's aunt.
Recently, he seems to have been going any chisel at the bank.
Dad doesn't worry.
Financially, I mean.
All right, see.
Go on.
Linus insists that Dad is acting strangely.
And a month or so ago, he called in a psychiatrist, a Dr. Greer, to examine Dad.
What was his opinion?
Dad knew the rest.
Well, your father's nerve seems to indicate he has taken Dr. Greer's advice.
Yes, but he has a strange thing.
Dad can't read or write without his glasses.
He wears them constantly.
He'd be locked without them.
Today, I found him in his desk drawer.
What did you last see him?
Two nights ago.
Well, I wouldn't worry.
He'll probably send for his glasses in the dare so, and you'll learn his whereabouts.
There's one thing more.
What is that?
Fin's father's disappearance.
Linus has become my insistence that I marry him.
He acts like someone who has the whip hand of a situation.
He's becoming unbearable.
Well, why don't you go to the commissioner?
He'd probably turn the city upside down to locate your father.
But that's just the point.
I don't want to do that.
If he is alright, he'd resent such interference.
Then if he isn't...
Oh, I don't know what to do.
I'm so worried and puzzled.
Oh, well then, that'll cry.
I do what I can to help you find your dad.
You run along home and I'll phone you in the morning.
Oh, thank you so much.
That's to show you how much I appreciate your help.
Goodbye.
Oh, gosh.
I'm glad Natica didn't see her get me.
I never heard a laugh of it.
And where is it?
The head is hard this morning, darling.
The booby hatch.
The booby hatch, isn't it?
Did you reserve a single and a double or a single?
That'll be big enough for you.
That's all.
And under what name did you register me?
Sherlock Hall.
And I suppose your doctor watches.
No, no, no.
Then you'll boom.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
That we're calling upon a doctor's dream.
We're going to Charlie Strongland and you.
Run the private sanitary room for the mentally upset
out of tangled ones.
Oh, you mean he runs an insane asylum, that's right?
And why are we visiting Dr. Dre's?
We'd like to discover if he has a patient there
with a name of Tillton.
The banker?
The same.
Ooh.
Chase.
Does the commissioner know about this?
No, this is a private mission.
Okay, Danny.
I win you.
Let's go.
Good morning, officer.
Something wrong?
One of my attendants said you wish to speak with me.
The Dr. Dreir, is that right?
We're not here officially, Dr. Dreir.
Mr. Tillton, you have to be a friend of mine.
Ask me to drive out here and ask your forefather with here.
Yes.
Yes, he's here.
Would you like to say him?
Yes, if we might.
Very well.
If you'll just come with me, I'll let you talk with him.
But not very long.
He's very nervous and tired.
On the verge of a breakdown.
You realize I'm sure what times like these
can mean to a man in his position.
Right.
And here we are.
Two gentlemen to see you, Mr. Delson.
Very fine, man.
There you come in.
Excuse me, not rising.
Very tired, you know.
No shot.
Well, that's perfectly all right.
We'll just call the request of your foster daughter.
She was worried about you.
She thought you might be out here.
Oh, dear Diana.
Tell her not to worry.
I'll be all right in time, I hope.
A teller Linus will take care of everything.
He's a good boy.
He'll take care of our teller, Mr. Tillton.
Just one thing more.
Could you write her this note?
Let's see.
My glasses are foggy.
I see better without them.
Yes, yes, I wrote this note.
Why?
She just wondered, that's all.
Well, we won't disturb you any longer.
I hope you recover your health and strength.
Very quickly, Mr. Tillton.
Goodbye.
Goodbye, and thanks for coming.
It's till Diana not to visit me until I'm...
Oh, my head!
Oh, my head!
He's a very sick man.
Oh, it appears.
Goodbye, and thanks.
Come on, Mike.
What do you think, honey?
I think it's strange that a man who's supposed to be unable to read or write without his glasses takes them off to read that note.
Step on it, Mike.
I've got a hunch and I want to play it quickly.
Look!
That's a88 read.
Doctor Drew certainly does himself proud.
Let's be tun money in psychiatrists...
Hello. Hello, officer. You're Sir Lancelot, aren't you? I'm Louis Vuitton.
No, you're not. You're Sir Lancelot. I'm King Arthur. I know I think.
Well, let's pretend I'm Sir Lancelot's brother.
He's twin brother. Yeah. We got twins in here.
Have you? Yes. What's the name?
Children. Children. Here. Are you sure?
By the Holy Grail I swear. I've seen him.
Show me, will you? I'm one condition Sir Lancelot. What's that?
I miss me. You'll get me a new round table.
They took me on the way.
Okay, I promise.
Follow me. But don't make a sound.
There's a black knight on guard. And Merlin in the magician is always snooping around.
Merlin. The wicked magician who runs this place calls himself,
got you clear, but he can't pull me here.
Well, this way. Follow me.
I am my father's spirit soon for a certain time to walk the night
and by the day can find a path to pass.
Maybe I'll walk upon my beloved's promise and I'll try it.
This is the dawn of the month, then of the clock.
The clock, then of the month, then of the clock.
Here's one twin. He's the crazy one. They keep him locked up.
Thanks very much, King Arthur. You're welcome, Sir Lancelot.
I'm going now before the black knight comes. Don't forget about my round table.
Yeah, what's going on inside my dark?
Thank you, Mr. Tilton. The real Mr. Tilton.
Of course, it's me or you. A blue beetle.
A blue beetle. I thought they'd get you someday.
Always doing crazy stunts. I'm here to save you.
Never mind that now. Tell me who put you in here.
All that blow down nephew of my enemy and Dr. Drear.
They must have brought me up the minute now to let try one of my magic.
The black knight you're coming to hurt, the black knight you're coming to hurt.
Oh, you're coming to help me.
Yes, it's a blue beetle. Come on, you mutts and get nipped.
Stop it with the rubber home, Joe!
That's the best of my blood. Let's get that gun, buddy, a Joe.
What's the next gun, Joe?
But I'm going the other way.
Here, let's go.
No beetle, keep it tough in the chair.
Come on, your gas mask will stand beside.
Do I give him a shot of this tear gas?
That's it.
This killed Joe Lentzberg.
Joe Lentzberg's dead.
What am I going to say to you?
Oh, come on.
In the morning we'll gift up those beetles up.
Come on, let's roll.
We're out.
Window.
What will happen to the blue beetles in the sanitarium of Dr. Drier?
Will he be able to free himself from the straight jacket and save banker Tilton?
These questions will be answered in the next transcribed episode of the Blue Beetles.

The blue beeth old.
Weeping down upon the underwear of this mass ganglion,
some mysterious, all-powerful caricature,
who is a problem to the police,
but a considerable loss.
In reality, Stan Garth,
a rookie patrol loved by everyone,
but suspected by none of these,
the blue beeth old.
As the blue beeth old,
he hides behind the train of mass,
an astute of impenetrable,
blue-shane armor,
flexible as silk,
but strong as steel.
Today's episode of the transcribed fox beethers,
the blue beeth old,
is the second part of a story entitled,
the asylum of Dr. Dreir.
In the previous episode,
Diana Tilson asked for Troman Dan Garth
to locate her missing foster father,
Sanca Tilson.
He has disappeared,
leaving a note addressed to her,
saying he was going away for a rest.
She is suspicious, however,
of the actions of Tilson's nephew,
Linus Weatherby,
and a Dr. Dreir,
a psychiatrist,
who Weatherby brought in to examine the banker.
Armed with the description of the banker,
Dan Garth and Mike Manigan visit
the private sanitarium of Dr. Dreir.
They are permitted to interview a man
who fits the description of banker Tilson.
He claims he is on the verge of a nervous breakdown,
and wishes to remain for a long rest.
But a suspicious circumstance makes Dan Garth
decide to return later as the blue beeth old.
He finds a real Tilson,
and is about to release him from the cell,
when he is recovered by the guards,
and Dr. Dreir,
and overcome by tear gas.
As the episode ended,
he was trapped in a straight jacket,
and locked up among the more violent inmates.
At the day's story opens,
Diana Tilson's cellopholes is free.
Hello.
Is that Miss Tilson?
Yes.
Have you seen Dan Garth?
Who is this?
This is Dr. Samaritan, Danny's parents.
Oh.
No, I haven't seen him.
Is that so?
No, no, David.
That's since we got back from Dr. Dreir,
since he's in Sanitarium.
Okay, I mean, did you find my father?
Yes, we did.
Did you show him I knew?
Yes, he was in Sanitarium.
We did, he had his glasses.
Yes, honey.
Hello?
Hello?
Oh, hello.
Oh, hello.
Oh, hello, Diana.
Yes.
I was talking to someone about father.
What a baby girl.
Well, they've seen him out of Dr. Dreir's sanitarium.
Oh.
Diana, why don't you marry me?
Let me take care of it.
Someday, I'll inherit Uncle's money and you'll be rich.
No, Lanny.
No use.
I'll never marry you.
You're going to change your mind.
You're upset now.
I think I'm going to have Dr. Dreir talk with you.
Perhaps a little rest of the sanitarium
would get your thoughts on the right sanitarium.
Probably, sir.
Dr. Dreir calling to see you.
Thank you very much.
I'll be right down.
Very good, sir.
Before I go, I want to warn you, young lady.
You want to save your father's life.
You'd better do what I say.
Good night, lady.
You say Dr. Dreir is a blue beetle, but don't tell us that?
Yes.
We caught him talking to Yoroko.
The real banker tells him.
That's best.
No, we'll take care of the little beetle.
Don't worry about him.
We'll take care of him.
By the way, he'd like to have some more money on account.
And so what I...
You'll get it.
And you'll get it when I get it.
What about the meeting with the mayor's committee tomorrow?
That's all the way.
You have all from there.
I made up with my uncle.
You'll verify what I told the committee.
But I must be getting back to my sanitarium.
It's quite late in the day.
It's very late in the night.
Everything's in order out there, isn't it?
I have anything to say.
Fine.
Then we'll go out and burn up the town.
After the matter, our worries will be over.
Damn.
What is it now?
It's the blue beetle.
I'm going to get you out of here.
But I'll tell you well if you make it.
The blue beetle doesn't work for money.
You belong here, blue beetle.
You're really crazy.
Where are the guards?
The other winged drunk apparently.
Come on, Mr. Tilt.
Follow me.
How did you get out of that cell and straight jacket?
Master keys and a special two-exformula.
It gives me super strength and vitality.
I've locked the guards in my quarters.
What I said, they're going to have in the morning.
That's maybe for Dr. Dre.
Oh, what are you going to do?
Wait here until we see Dr. Dre's new office.
Do you know where Dre is?
He's probably in town with that no good nephew of mine.
Painting the town red.
I'm going to take a chance and answer the telephone.
I'll guide my boys.
I know.
Hello?
Yeah?
Oh?
Is that Dr. Dre?
Yeah, this is good.
Yeah, good.
Sure, everything's under control.
Yeah, you stay on town tonight.
Okay.
Oh?
Or a guy impersonating Tilt.
Sure, a little message for us.
I mean, I'm telling you to come to town the morning.
Blue beetle?
Say Dr. Blue beetle and Tilt.
That's just where they ought to be.
That's gay.
Goodbye.
Well, I used to make a good act of Blue beetle.
Oh, thanks.
Come on, let's get out of here.
I can't even belong outside the road about a mile from here.
You can make it, Mr. Tilt.
I never felt better in my life.
Come on.
When I get back to town, we'll put those stones.
Don't worry, they've all gone.
Oh, here comes where they've been out.
Oh, where's Tilt?
I don't know he should be here.
Gentlemen.
Has the nerve arrived?
Why don't he make it?
Press of official duties.
No, I'm sorry.
Will you be seated, please?
Yes, I will.
Where's your uncle, Mr. Weatherbeck?
I want to ask you an endotus, gentlemen.
Uncle Amos is a very thick man.
You'll be here in just a moment for his position, Dr. Dre.
Well, that's too bad.
I didn't know he was in here.
I'm sorry.
You gentlemen are a committee appointed by the mayor, I believe.
To represent the city and receiving a gift of $1,000,000 for my uncle.
To be matched by another million appropriated by the city.
To build a children's hospital.
Yes, yes, that's right.
Well, gentlemen, it is my standard duty to inform you that my uncle is withdrawn.
What?
What's that?
Did we hear you right, young man?
You did, gentlemen.
My uncle feels that he has too many obligations and too many duties right now.
He's on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Therefore, he is turning his affairs over to me, to many.
Well, what about your authorizing this gift?
For gentlemen, I agree with Uncle Amos.
I do not feel that his financial condition will allow such a gift to be made at present.
But the city has already appropriated its shares.
Well, that's right.
I'm sorry.
The country's condition will allow such a gift to be made at present.
But what the city has already appropriated its shares.
The land has been condemned and the work of the Demolishing Old Tenement has been started.
I'm sorry, gentlemen, but the decision is fine.
I demand to see Amos Tillman.
Until I hear it from his own lips, I will not believe that.
I have just a good moment, gentlemen.
Here's Uncle Amos now.
He will speak for himself.
We will tell him here, please.
Yes, gentlemen.
What my nephew has just told you is true.
I'm turning my affairs over to a younger man to handle.
I want to rest and enjoy life.
As soon as my nephew converts my real estate holdings and other positions into cash,
we are going away for a long, heaven's peace today.
I am very tired.
I'm afraid he's just saying it.
If you'll have the need to get some water, I'll give him a half a dime.
He's just saying it.
If you'll have the need to get some water, I'll give him a half a dime.
Gentlemen, I know you would excuse me, but I must be with my uncle.
It's very pretty sweet, but it won't matter.
It looks like it is.
It's Amos Tillman, the real Amos Tillman.
I'll call the police.
I'll call the police.
You and that puppet, Dr. Dreath,
you could get rid of me and take over my fortune.
But your plans didn't work out.
No, no, Claire.
It's the other two.
He's running for the door.
I'm not that fair with it.
Stop us.
Prepare the doorway.
Who is it?
The Blue Beetle.
And I've come to nip-free crooks.
Stand where you are.
Three are wetterbley in the ocean.
After Manigan is the system full of thought, you'd headquartered.
They're on our way here now.
Good work, Blue Beetle.
But where's my daughter?
She's right here.
I won't believe it.
The Blue Beetle just released me from my room.
Her line has lost her ear.
Well, he'll soon be locking,
where even the Blue Beetle can't free him.
Gentlemen, tell the mayor,
my gift to the city still stands.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Don't thank me.
Thank the Blue Beetle.
If it hadn't been for him,
there'd be no children's hospitals for your city.
Who cares, Annie?
And how did you like your visit to the Blue Beethatch as Manigan calls it?
Oh, that's a terrible question.
And what will happen to it now?
The Dr. Dreyer is in prison.
He must be trying to take it over and make a real sanitary amount of it.
Well, the real psychiatrists at the head of it?
So, modern convenience is more humane personnel.
Ah, that's splendid.
What about wetherty?
He used to be just inherited.
The ultimate money will go to his foster daughter, Diana.
Blue Beetle is certainly straightened.
That's the way she announced it.
There's one thing he forgot for Christ, yes.
A promise he made to King Arthur.
King Arthur?
By whose King Arthur?
One of the unfortunate sanitarians.
Where were you going, Danny?
I'm going to buy King Arthur.
A new round table I promised him.
And so a little private work of the trauma in Dan Jarrett as the Blue Beetle
brought happiness to many people as well as justice to a group of dishonest men.
The moral of this story is always find time to help the unfortunate.
And whenever you make a promise, keep it.
What further adventures await the Blue Beetle in his crusade against crime?
This question will be answered in the next transcribed episode of the Blue Beetles.
