The blue vehicles.
We're waiting down upon the underworld as my ganglin' comes and mysterious, all-powerful character
who is a problem to the police for a clear fall-off.
In reality, same character, I will keep it cold, but by everyone, but suspected by none, they've been the blue beetle.
And the blue beetle, he hides behind a strange mask, and a suit of intent of a blue chain armor.
Flexible as soon as possible, but go here and steal it.
Today's episode of the blue beetle, different titles, here it don't talk.
In every city and small towns throughout the country, there are certain individuals who claim to have supernatural powers,
mediums who claim that through them the dead speak.
Only if you have firmly believed in their supernatural power and endeavor to use it for good.
Even they have been exploited for dishonest purposes by unscrupulous individuals and groups of individuals.
As a story-opens the Cormon Dan Jarrett, who in secret is really the blue beetle,
is discussing the fortune-telling racket with his friend and confident, Dr. Plot.
Tell me, Danny.
Why is it that this attorney hasn't done something about this situation?
Well, in the first place, it's hard to get witnesses to testify against the fortune-teller's medium.
In the second place, what can witnesses to testify to?
Well, if they were told that they'd take an ocean voyage or need a blind man,
who would be the great mother of their life?
Can't put anybody in jail for that.
No, I suppose not.
That isn't the part of this racket that causes the police from a district attorney concern.
Oh, what does?
If we, when a person starts going to fortune-tellers, he or she is a marked man or woman.
He or she is registered as a lawyer.
Grace means registered.
Ring, yes.
Everything about the client is noted by the fortune-teller.
The existence notes the wearing of peril, its calamity, style, where purchase and so on.
Tricks and characters that are weighed and measured.
Clients are urged to talk about themselves.
The parkable limbs and heads up to the security.
All this information goes into a central bureau to be tabulated and crossed in vexed
for future life and mind's best mind's soul.
I had no idea such an elaborate system existed.
Sure, there's a regular ring that controls the racket.
What about spiritualism and mediums?
Are these so-called mediums part of this racket?
Most of them.
They constitute the most dangerous part of the racket.
How do you mean?
Well, when they get hold of a client, some susceptible individual who believes it's possible
to talk to the loved ones who died, they might come at individual's mind,
influence that individual who commit act, he or she would never think of committing it less alone.
What's the connection between fortune-tellers and mediums?
The fortune-tellers think of easy minds.
And if considered worthwhile material to work on,
they're entitled into visiting a spiritualist or a surge to sit in on the sayon.
Right, right, right.
People are so colourful, yes, they are.
They have to be protected from themselves.
Somebody can restore.
Ah, they back in a minute.
It's probably Mike Mannigan.
It doesn't send him back.
Yeah, hello, John.
Is Danny the best ever food?
The food and the skin.
Yeah, he's back.
It was opportunity.
And I'm gonna cook enough for which he's moved some shots.
Yeah, he might not bite the oil.
Oh, no, the right back all was a manigan.
Oh, Mike, hello, Danny.
Eh, are you ready to visit the mediums?
Ready and waiting.
Hey, you look very smart in your city.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think your advice is good.
They're never sick, we're caught some reason.
And all that, man.
My wind blowing fire, but you're a red face.
You look like bookkeepers.
And where are you two boys selling?
Two, eh, she and me saying that.
Yeah, hey, we're close to talk with the dead.
Who is the mediums?
I'll be calling himself Professor Winger.
Where is the seon seeing him?
Winger is out on the street.
You know, that old place that's just back from the state yet.
Yes, I know it.
People used to say it was haunted, that's it, right?
Where is it?
Come on, patrolman.
Got it?
Us.
A potted knee.
They stick at it, huh?
You go ahead, Mike.
I want to ask Doc something.
I'll be with you in a minute.
OK, I'll work out for you.
Hey, Doc, can I borrow your X-ray camera
with a special info red lens?
Oh, sure, Danny.
I'll get it for you.
Now what?
What's in I carry it in?
Oh, there it is.
It is, Mike, that's it.
There it is.
It's put it in the beach.
Thanks, Doc.
I'll see you later.
Yep, the spirits don't get me.
OK.
You know another part of the city?
An interesting discussor that's being held.
Banker James Henley is talking with his son, John,
and has met you with him.
I want you, John, and you, William,
to accompany me to the Siren's professional in-route.
May you be able to communicate with my dead son, Rodney.
I don't believe Professor Winter for anybody else can communicate with the day.
Well, I do.
You only have to take one look at Professor to know that he's unusual.
He has a far away expression that psychic people have.
Oh, not that.
Uh, William is right, John.
Professor Winter is gifted beyond most models.
I'm sure he will be able to communicate with my other son who was killed in Spain.
A brat Rodney will be able to advise me in my financial affairs.
He was always so right about things.
And I'm getting old and I need his advice.
Here's an I'm sure the advice will still be good, Uncle James.
Yes, William.
I'm glad you have the right attitude of these things.
Well, let's get started to the stand.
The sooner we get there, the sooner we get there.
The sooner we get there.
The sooner we get there, the sooner we get there.
The sooner we get there, the sooner we get there.
The sooner we get there, the sooner it will be over.
Who's there to be out at Winter's place, Daddy?
That's sure.
Charlie Storm and his son told me that Sanker Henley is a frequenter of Winter's playances.
How are we going to get in there?
Charlie got me two cards from a girlfriend of his.
Who's the host of one of those gypsy heroes?
Do you think that she's fed us?
I don't know, but let me do the talking.
You just keep still and look psychic.
And how does that eye look when he looks psychic?
Yes, there.
Straighten everything and everybody.
Because if you are looking through them, it's the immortal spirit.
That's the way I look when I've been hit on the head.
Well, I'm glad you won before we go in if I don't help.
Never mind.
I can look psychic without your help.
Okay.
That's the heart of the head.
It's a pleasure having spot for a murder.
Are you healed?
Now I didn't bring a gun.
And I did.
And if any goes to the pot of spurs, that's gay with me.
I'm going to use it.
Now, here we are.
Come on, Mike.
And remember to look psychic.
Okay, Daddy.
Good evening.
Oh, you're sick.
We have cards.
Very good.
If you come in, please.
You stay until that begins.
Thank you.
Who are we?
Change from an jerky.
Do you have cards?
You could better wind up here.
Hey, this is Mr. Michael P. Mannigan.
And I'm Mr. Van Norton Garrett.
We will recommend it to you by the Gypsy TV.
My friend here is psychic.
Oh.
I see.
Well, now come in, gentlemen.
They're right in here.
This is Mr. James Henley, the banker.
His son, John, and his nephew William.
Mr. Mannigan is here.
Please, Mr. Mannigan.
No way you all take seats, please.
You and Mr. Mannigan sit here, Mr. Garrett.
We sit in the circle and hold hands.
Mr. Henley, you sit here on my left.
Please, sit here for me.
John, you sit on my right.
And William, you sit next to your cousin, John,
between him and Mr. Mannigan.
Right.
Here we are.
This is a lot of poppy cards.
John, John, be quiet.
If you don't want to sit in, leave the room.
Oh, all right, father.
I'll keep quiet.
I'm afraid your son is left in a receptive movement.
Mr. Henley.
All right, but that's easy.
I'll let all of this.
Now, we each take the hand of the persons
on either side of it.
And I'll put the lights out
with the switch in the front, my dear.
Quiet, everybody.
Relax.
Finish thoughts of this mundane world.
And let your mind wander out into the infinite.
What was the sound?
My teeth shattering.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
It is that you runny, my son.
Yes, my love.
Yes, I'm the one who is very sweet.
Speak to me.
Speak to me.
Rodney, are you well?
I have not run.
I have never run.
I have never run.
What is the burden on your soul, Rodney?
My brother John does nothing of you.
Only William loves you.
Back to mind.
Tell you there's a cook.
This day, aren't there?
My wife, which one does life?
What happened here?
John.
John!
What's wrong?
We were nine days before what happened?
What happened here?
Look, my son John, they're on the floor.
Stand back, everybody.
Manic in comfortable section.
He's dead all right.
Stabbed in the back.
What do you mean?
What is this?
Who are you to give orders in my house?
Showman, ten carrots.
My psychic friend is Officer Manic.
And if anybody attempts to leave this room,
this gun of mine will speak.
And it won't be a psychic message either.
Go ahead for this, Annie.
This is a case of murder.
And now or later,
back at the little apothecary shop of Dr. Fran,
ten carrots and Dr. Fran,
they're examining two photographs,
which have just been developed.
A duck.
This is the first one.
I snap to the X-ray camera.
It shows the interior of the room
what a science would help.
What's that duck spot there on the wall over there?
It looks like a...
like a log speaker behind a large painting.
And that's probably where the voice came from.
The little man Henry thought was the voice of his dead son, Robby.
He was the only man's favorite son.
He volunteered to fight in Spain,
and was killed in battle, man.
And that's the TV other part of that, right?
I took this one just as John said,
this is a lie.
It shows the group seated in a circle.
No, that's...
look there.
It's a murderer.
His hand is clutching the dagger,
just a strike.
He even shows the company
wrapped around the hill to avoid leading fingerprints.
For the graph alone,
we'll convict the murderer of John Henry.
Are you going to call the police headquarters to hold?
They hold him.
We may not be able to run the higher-ups in the rackets.
Then you think the murderer of John Henry was not the top man?
I don't know.
He was just part of the ring.
The brains of the rackets are higher-ups,
but they should have realized that John Henry
just could put down the police on their necks.
Somebody made a miss cue there.
I don't think the ring planned John's death,
but if you think their plan was,
simply to use the dead son Rodney's fake voice
to work on the old man and influence him,
to let his nephew William advise him.
And at the time,
persuade him to make William his heir.
But why?
William is probably being used by this gang of rackets here.
The old man should die,
leaving his vast fortune to William,
and William would be blackmailed
at the coming across
with a large sum of money to the racketeer.
And once the devilish things evil minds can think of it.
Yes.
Or by the way, Docs,
put those negatives in a safe place.
They'll be safe with me, Danny.
All right.
Well,
the Blue Beetle is going into action
on this gang of crooked buzzards.
What are you going to do?
The Blue Beetle is paying several visits tonight.
Or another day, John.
The riddle to the rackets will be smashed.
Who is the murderer of John Henley?
What will the Blue Beetle discover
at Professor Windriff's residence?
Who's walked mine
to find all these dinghy schemes
to pray upon on it,
but superstitious and ignorant person?
After the night needs the Blue Beetle,
it is crusade against crime.
No.
In another part of the city,
The man is issuing orders to his subordinates, a dark sinister-looking man whose
life-lipsed smile has no mercilessness. His business is creating spirits, spirits
of those who have departed.
Girl, that last time the clock you brought me was certainly evil. My old nature,
makes an erectoplasm of that young. But his people never mind the alibi,
trade it in and get some of them in it.
You're still recording famous voices off the earth?
Yes sir.
Okay.
In my secretary and get a list of a 400 best families.
Yes sir.
Oh, the one of the times.
He's concerned the idea of having each voice in the family recorded as a
mental for their relatives after they pass on.
Make copies of these.
You can use them in our sand.
Although dry away sir.
Go ahead.
As you go out, tell Sweeney and maintenance to order two dozen more loud
sets to my radio storage.
Fifty dozen crystal balls and 75 cases of playing cards.
Right away sir.
Did you sense the may chase?
Yes.
Now look, my apple-cheek little trigger man.
Professor Windriff told me that he has reason to suspect that some photographs were
taken at his saiyans tonight by Patulman Dan Gerrit.
The negatives may still be in his possession.
Or they may be in the possession of Dr. Franz with run-fast little apothecary shop.
I want those photographs.
Okay, Chief, I'll get them.
If you meet with resistance.
Let your conscience be your guide.
I got you, Chief.
My second thing is awful rare this tonight.
It must be the weather.
Professor Colonyl D.
Gentlemen.
Hello, Mr. Chief.
This is certainly a terrible state of affairs.
Windriff the cops' releaseer.
Just now, someone bailed us all out and I came right to you.
I'll bet you left the trail on my own white.
I came strange three times in the subway.
Walked through Ralph's department store and then took a taxi here.
Good.
Well, what do you advise me to do?
My business is ruined.
You are better than me.
You should have thought of that before you killed John Henley.
I killed him.
Did you mean with you?
I mean you.
William wouldn't have an herb.
But William hated his curtains.
He was sitting right next to him.
So were you.
What makes you think so?
A little bird told me.
I got five down the police at once.
They heard the questioning of your people by the police.
Oh.
Yes.
Oh.
They said you were playing up to old man Henley.
What is that?
I don't say.
You aren't saying you aren't trying to double-cross me on this.
I asked why no, little G.I.
I assure you.
You're better or not, if you'll know what's good for you.
And what about those two policemen, men and women and girls?
They'll be taken care of.
When the case comes up for trial,
they won't be there to testify.
Yes, but the photographs.
I'm sure I heard the click of a camera during the seance.
They're almost dark.
Wasn't it pitch black?
OK.
You don't have to worry.
I'll leave everything to me.
What do you think I'd better do now?
Well, at the art place, I'm played dumb.
The art there later,
since I'd had to talk with William Henley,
he'll probably spend a few days on his uncle's yacht.
In the meantime, I've got my men guarding everybody concerned.
I imagine the blue beetle will stick his nose into this.
And if he does,
it'll be just too bad for Mr. Blue Beetle.
Hello, Henley.
I don't think you killed your cousin, John.
I didn't.
I swear I didn't.
Hello, OK.
Now you just take it easy.
Lay up here on a colon.
You'll be the white-haired boy.
He always believed anything his son Rodney told him.
But this murder.
What about that?
They're going to let Professor Windriff take the rat.
He's all washed up with us.
I see.
Later, you will introduce your uncle to another medium.
We'll go to work on him again.
In your favor.
You'll be his heir.
Yes.
But he may live a long time and I need money now.
My cousins are harming me and I can't wait.
I'll take it easy.
Take it easy.
Mr. Sooner, he makes a will in your favor.
You'll be with an accident.
You mean he'll be talking with his dead son Rodney directs?
Very expert piece, but it won't work on the beetle.
Yes, the blue beetle and he's going to nip.
Can I let him have it out?
Yes.
Go ahead, Sue.
Your bullets can't injure the blue beetle.
But this one lands him well.
Good work, that's good work.
You show a mean belaying pin.
Sounds like a light.
What do I do with him?
I am up.
Weak his body with an icon.
Talk to him all along.
Okay, LG.
Well, Mr. Blue Creek.
Get on for a night.
Wait.
And you ain't coming back.
Hey.
Aren't you a bit ruthless, LG?
My rocket's going to have to date.
Oh, you'll be a good boy and we'll all be rich.
Well, what are you going to do now?
I'm going to shore.
Professor Windriff is going to have a caller
and get up big surprise.
All right, Gerkin.
I'm going to get some sleep.
This has been a very crying evening.
Yes, sir. Very good, sir.
Did you dismantle and hide the phonograph
equipment and records?
Yes, sir.
Everything's been taken care of.
Will you be sleeping late in the morning, sir?
Yes, Gerkin.
Call me about noon.
Very good, sir.
What?
Good heavens.
Okay, let me have this time tonight.
Oh, I see, sir.
It may be Mr. LG.
You call it?
No.
What do you mean, sir?
The last of just the time.
Well, here they may.
Well, there you are.
Oh, yes, sir.
What have you found out, LG?
The little beetle paid a visit to Henley's yacht
while I was talking with William Henley.
Well, how did you get rid of me?
Stating in the sound.
With a 50 pound anchor tied to his feet.
Great.
Yes, he was in the way.
Just as you're in my way, Professor Windriff.
What?
What do you mean?
You're all talking, Professor.
You're almost cleared.
All right.
I can't wait for the law to take its course.
Besides, you might fill the need.
Oh, no, I'm taking a checker.
I'm going to hold your mouth.
I have to test on LG, outflaste with my 90th grade.
The provedie.
Yes, the provedie.
You must be a strong swunger, provedie.
I am.
I learned a few tricks from HuDini.
Otherwise I'd be lying in the bottom of the sound.
Get him, Gergen.
Get him from above.
Where's your dog?
Not this time, Gergen.
The provedie was on the alert.
And here's one for you, Professor Windriff.
Oh.
Murderers?
Now I'll take that gun, LG.
Certainly, you provedie.
Here it is, right under it!
Just a little jiu-jitsu.
Now I've got the gun.
What are you going to do?
You've got nothing on me.
Oh no.
I swam back to the yard after I freed myself from the anchor rope.
I had a little talk with William.
Was he surprised to see me?
He's going to talk and talk to Lenty.
He and crew will kill John Henley.
But the photographs then get it took at the Saiyan's camp.
What do you know about those photographs?
Blue people knows everything.
How much do we owe?
Those photographs will never be shown at any file.
Pudgy has seen the map.
What do you mean?
Pudgy is my trigger man.
I sent him to interview Dan Garrett's friend Dr. Phan's with Kellis.
If the photographs are there, he'll get them or else.
All for the son and I break it in.
Well, Mr. LG.
A lot caught up with you.
Your racket smashed and you'll burn along with Professor Wynne.
Not yet, I won't.
I'll see to tell with it.
I know you don't.
A lot's going to sing you in the murder of Professor Wynne,
where you can't cause any more harm.
That's all right, sir.
All right, great for the kids.
Well, if it is the Blue Peter,
Professor Wynne and the Limey Serpent,
what the hell?
And who's this?
FLG, the ringleader of the gang.
Just try to take poison and I hit him.
Here, mannequin, catch this gun.
What?
Hello, Caleb, Blue Peter.
Sorry to leave, sir, suddenly.
Hey, wait a minute, Blue Peter.
You're under arrest.
Hey, how's the witness?
Hand of the Blue Peter didn't dive out of the window.
Well, boy, slip the handcuffs on these babies
and we'll take them along.
I've catched the Blue until the next time.
And throw the Blue Beetle caught and turned over to the police.
Several racketeers.
Before about Doc Fland and the photograph,
what has happened to them?
As Pudgy carried out the orders of his chief,
the infamous LG,
let's hurry back to the little apothecary shop of Dr. Fland.
Doc, what friends, where are you?
Hello, Danny.
Well, what's your hurry?
Are you all right?
Never got better in my life.
But what's the done man?
Did Pudgy lose his chief to another confident gentleman
called earlier tonight?
I was in my laboratory at the time.
Yeah, well, what happened?
She mentioned something about some photographs.
He was rather insistent that I give them to him.
Well, did he hear?
Yes, he pointed at gun at me.
What did you do?
Squirted a serving school of concentrated ammonia in his eyes.
Good.
Where is he now?
I tied him up to keep him playing with my chemicals in there.
Oh, that's great.
And the photographs will say to everything's under control.
Ah, fine.
Those photographs will convict Professor Windrub of Young Henley's murder.
And Williams test the money or take care of LG.
Oh.
What does LG stand for, Danny?
According to Williams, LG stands for life goes.
The man behind the spirit.
Well, if you'll excuse me, duck, I'm going to turn in.
The blue beetles had a very busy night.
And so all those threads were tied together.
And another racket smashed.
Thanks to Dan Garrett, Mike Manigan, Dr. Plan, and the Blue Beetle.
What new adventure awaits the Blue Beetle?
This question will be answered in the next episode of the Blue Beetle.
And now, here's the blue beetle himself.
Is there a few words?
Whoa!
Tomorrow's the story is that there's no honor among thee.
Otherwise, never become associated with anyone.
And any endeavor of plans that is not absolutely straightforward.
If you do, you can expect to be double-crossed,
to become the cat paw or the pale guy.
Remember to always look up, never down,
To associate only with those persons, you can respect.
