  Speaker 2: into the future with Buzz Cory, Commander in Chief of
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: the Space Putfrol. In today's transcribed adventure, Buzz and Happy
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: are in their space uites examining the wreckage a long
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: lost spaceship that crushed under strained circumstances from the looks.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Of the wreckage. The ship didn't hit head on. It
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: came in at a mangle, right over those pinnacles of rock.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: How old would you say the ship was, sir? Judging
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: by the fragments and what's left to the instruments, I'd
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: say it was at least one hundred years old. One
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: hundred years old smoking rockets. What a story this old
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: ship could tell the commander. Somebody or or something shooting
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: at us. It's a spaceship coming in law this time
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: they won't miss.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Come on, get out here, everybody fire again?
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: But no matter, why would they fire on us?
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: If we don't get into that lager rock, you'll never
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: find out.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: I'll return in just a moment.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: But today's Space Patrol Adventure, The Treasure of Panetoid sixteen.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: Say, gang, did you.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Ever try a cereal that tasted so good you felt
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: like bouncing right up to the ceiling like a spring. Well,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: if you haven't, try rice checks and wheat checks so
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: good you just can't seem to get them out of
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: the package fast enough. And when you see that bowl
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: full of bite sized biscuits looking up at you, why, man,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: oh man, you can hardly wait until you'll pour on
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: the milk and sprinkle on the sugar and wow when
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: you dive into checks. Well, sir, that was you bouncing
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: right up to the ceiling because you like your check
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: so much, so try them Space Patrollers. Rice Checks delicious nutritious,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: bite size shredded rice biscuits hollow inside so they can
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: fill up with milk. And Wheat Checks, a bite sized
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: treat made of energy rich whole wheat.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: The super cereals that helped the super ch rice checks.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Wheat Checks the only cereals in the universe that bring
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: you a magic space picture inside of every package. And
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: now today's Space Patrol Adventure, the Treasure of Planetoid sixty.
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: Commander Cory and Goodet Happy have.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Just finished inspecting Space Patrol units on the planet Neptune.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Now in the Neptune City headquarters, Buzz is showing Happy
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: a fragment of bluish rock streaked with bands of violence.
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: It's an odd looking rock, sir, What is it?
• 3:36
  Speaker 8: It's called transplute Hide Happy. It's brought to by a
• 3:39
  Speaker 8: gem expert named Hollister. He wanted it examined by the
• 3:42
  Speaker 8: Space Patrol scientists.
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: Transplutite, I don't think I ever heard of it.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: Very few people have.
• 3:47
  Speaker 8: Outside of a few specimens and museums, no transplute hide
• 3:50
  Speaker 8: has been seen in the one hundred years. Hollister says
• 3:53
  Speaker 8: that yesterday two men came into a shop with several
• 3:55
  Speaker 8: chunks of this rock.
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: He couldn't believe his eyes. And men refuse to say
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: what they got.
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: Well, why did Hollister bring it here? Does he think
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: it was stolen from a museum?
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: Yes, we're checking by space of bone now with museums
• 4:07
  Speaker 8: all over the Solar System.
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: Oh, then this transplutype must be pretty valuable.
• 4:10
  Speaker 8: Extremely not because of the rock itself, it's the arcturium
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: in it that makes it valuable.
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: That's another new one, Commander.
• 4:17
  Speaker 8: And you've never heard of Captain Hartog, No, sir, but
• 4:20
  Speaker 8: Captain Hartog was a scientist and space explorer who lived
• 4:23
  Speaker 8: about a century ago. After a long space trip, he
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: showed up and the planet Earth with samples of his
• 4:28
  Speaker 8: blue rock and some strange new gems that he'd ground
• 4:31
  Speaker 8: into microscopic cutting tools. The amazing thing about these gems
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: was that they emitted radiation when a small current was
• 4:38
  Speaker 8: sent through them. They provided their own light for the
• 4:40
  Speaker 8: most delicate analysis.
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: Under a microscope. I see instantly.
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: There was a tremendous demand for the gems, and Captain
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: Hartog was the only one who could supply them. When
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: he was asked where he got them, he just laughed
• 4:51
  Speaker 8: and said from Arcturis arc Touris.
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: But that's impossible.
• 4:55
  Speaker 8: Course, ark Touris is a star thirty two light years away.
• 4:58
  Speaker 8: But the gem was called arcium, just the same the
• 5:01
  Speaker 8: rock itself was named transplutite, indicating that it came from
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: beyond Pluto.
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: Well, didn't Captain hard Talk ever know where he got it?
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: No, Now he blasted off on a space flight. Nothing
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: was ever heard from him again. No trace of his
• 5:14
  Speaker 8: ship has ever found. Naturally, that cut off the supply
• 5:17
  Speaker 8: of octurium. No substitute has ever been discovered. Well, is
• 5:20
  Speaker 8: there arcturium in this piece of rock?
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: Commended?
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: Yes, Oh, here's a chance to use your new space
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: Betol microscope. Have think got it with him?
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: Oh yes, sir, right here in my pocket, all right,
• 5:28
  Speaker 8: focused it on one of those violet.
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: Streaks in the rock.
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: That sure as a terrific little microscope, sir.
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: I've been making fingerprint tests with it, just for fun.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: You'll find it comes in handy in hundreds of ways. Happy.
• 5:38
  Speaker 8: For a long time, we've needed a small, compact, powerful
• 5:41
  Speaker 8: microscope that I turned on.
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: A dozen models till the security lab came up with
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: this one.
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: Well it's a beauty, sir.
• 5:47
  Speaker 9: It's light and still plenty of rugged, and I've got
• 5:50
  Speaker 9: the microscope focused.
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: I just watched that violet streak.
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: It looks like tiny sparks of light are shooting through
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: the rock.
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: That's the action of the arcturium. Happy. You could see
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: it better if the rock were.
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: Polished, If electric current were applied, the octorium would really glow.
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: Should I hook it up to a currency?
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: That's where do we get over to Hollister's shop. I
• 6:09
  Speaker 8: want to return this sample to him before Corbo and
• 6:11
  Speaker 8: Rough get there. Corbo and Rough or they are the
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: two men who brought in the transplute height. If one
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: of their samples is missing, they're going to get suspicious.
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: That is, if the Rough does something crooked. That's good
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: over there right away.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: All right, Hollister, where is it? What's stalin? We left
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: four rock samples here and we've only got three. Where's
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the other one? Come on, Hollister, what are you up to?
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: What are you doing.
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: Trying to make them talk?
• 6:37
  Speaker 10: Leave them alone? Take your hands off them.
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: As well, I guess, just to hit him a little
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: too hard. He's unconscious.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: That was a stupid thing to do at Corbo. What
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: businesses he got holding out on one of our samples.
• 6:46
  Speaker 11: Maybe he wasn't sure what it was and turned it
• 6:48
  Speaker 11: over to another mineral expert.
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: Why didn't he say so the pro personal pride?
• 6:51
  Speaker 11: Maybe anyway, we'd better shut this door to his back
• 6:54
  Speaker 11: office and get.
• 6:55
  Speaker 10: Out of here.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: You got the other samples?
• 6:56
  Speaker 10: Yeah here in this case, come on, let's go for me.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: You were sure you searched every place here in the
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: outer office.
• 7:04
  Speaker 10: Even the safe. It was unlike the blast off for Saturday.
• 7:07
  Speaker 11: And to have the samples tested there and next time, Rupp,
• 7:11
  Speaker 11: no strong armsta All right, Corbo, letapp with you.
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: Oh good afternoon, gentlemen.
• 7:17
  Speaker 10: All right, where's mister Hollister? Oh h he stepped out
• 7:20
  Speaker 10: for a few minutes.
• 7:21
  Speaker 11: Just wait, he'll be right back. We're in sort of
• 7:24
  Speaker 11: a hurry if you'll excuse this in just a minute,
• 7:26
  Speaker 11: are you Frank Rupp and Kent Corbo? That's why?
• 7:29
  Speaker 8: What if we are you fit? The description mister Hollister
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: gave me. Then this must be one of your samples.
• 7:34
  Speaker 10: Why this? That's right, it's.
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: Transplut had all right, with octorium in it.
• 7:38
  Speaker 10: I'm fine. May I have it?
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: Please wait till mister Hollister returns. Where did you get
• 7:45
  Speaker 8: these samples? If we don't actually know where they came from?
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: You got them from a space prospect here we met
• 7:50
  Speaker 8: on Jupiter.
• 7:51
  Speaker 10: We're acting as his agent, so to speak.
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: You came directly hit a neptune from Jupiter.
• 7:56
  Speaker 10: That's right, Commander.
• 7:58
  Speaker 8: Well, if there's prospect a friend of yours discovered the
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: source of arcturium and wants to keep it a secret,
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: and that's his affair and yours. Fine, and we'll be
• 8:05
  Speaker 8: going along, Amanda.
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: What's that?
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: It came from the back room?
• 8:08
  Speaker 10: Check on that?
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: Happy? Yes, sir, you two stay where you are.
• 8:11
  Speaker 10: Sorry, Command that, we've got other plans.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: Hey, what are you doing?
• 8:14
  Speaker 10: And this will take care of you?
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: Get that?
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: That's rocks makes a nice weapon, Carbo.
• 8:20
  Speaker 10: Come on, raight, let's get out of here quick.
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: Happy, I'm happier. You're all right, mander, get away.
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah, we've only been on a couple of minutes. I'll
• 8:38
  Speaker 8: call spaceport and have a guard put on the ship.
• 8:41
  Speaker 8: Check the back room. Happy, they've probably done something to Hollister. Yes, sir,
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: you'll take care of him.
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: Then we'll head for the spaceport. Here's Corbo's ship. Happy.
• 8:56
  Speaker 10: It looks like we got here ahead of him and they.
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: May have seen the guards and got scared off. Get
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: them first to examine the ship. Hop the ladder hat, Yes, sir,
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: Maybe the hatch open after we get in the air lock, right, Commander,
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: I wait, half look at this white dust on the
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: floor of the airlock.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: I wonder where they picked that up.
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: Certainly not at any regular spaceport.
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: I'll gather up a sample of it later and examine
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: it under the microscope.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: Now, let's go to their spacesuit locker. Open the inner hatch.
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: Were they sure tracked in a lot of this stuff.
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: By the marks on the floor, they were wearing space suits.
• 9:37
  Speaker 8: That's why I want to check the locker.
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: Spacesuits. That means they've recently been in one of the moons,
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: and this white stuff is probably powdered pumas.
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: That alone isn't much of a plume. They have a
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: lot of moons, partly covered with pomis.
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: Here's the locker.
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: Let's examine the boots and these suits.
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: Hey, they must have been waiting in pumbers halfway after
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: their knee.
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: Please get your microscope out happy, I'll scrape off a sample. Yes, sir,
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: mere magnification may not tell us too much, but it
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: might tell us if it's worthwhile making a more thorough
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: test at the Neptune City Lab.
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: The microscopes already, sir, All right.
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: I'll smear a little of this powder on the slide,
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: slip it into the stage clamp.
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: How they look through the lands.
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: Mm, it's in focus now for then there's some dark
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: flakes of something mixed with the powder.
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: You want to see I think, mm hmm.
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: It'll take us spectrographic analysis at the lab that tell
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: us exactly what those flakes are.
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, then we'll have a line on where Rupped and
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: Corbo have been.
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: We'll also disconnect our vector computer and take it with
• 10:40
  Speaker 8: us the vector computer.
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: Yes, if they.
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: Didn't clear the settings after they land that it may
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: show us exactly where they were before landing up to them.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Let's take these spaces, Carbo, look at our ship.
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: They get guards around it.
• 10:56
  Speaker 10: Corey must have come to and alerted the space.
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: Put We better get away from here quickly.
• 10:59
  Speaker 10: Yeah, we'll get out of the city. How I'm a
• 11:02
  Speaker 10: surface car.
• 11:03
  Speaker 11: We'll drive out through the surface lights at the north
• 11:05
  Speaker 11: side of the atmosphere show the spacephone wrapped to pick
• 11:07
  Speaker 11: us up in a spaceship the other side.
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: Of the hills.
• 11:09
  Speaker 11: We have to have space suits and transfer to the ship,
• 11:12
  Speaker 11: and they're already in the surface car. Come on, rep
• 11:14
  Speaker 11: We've got to get out of Neptune City before they
• 11:16
  Speaker 11: put a guard at the surface lights.
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: I just checked with the infirmary, Sir. Mister Hollister's okay,
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: and he's on his way back to his shop.
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: Good reports have come in from the museums happy no transplute,
• 11:32
  Speaker 8: eyed exhibits are missing.
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: Well, I don't get it, sir.
• 11:34
  Speaker 9: If Rough and Corbo didn't steal the transplute, tyg, why
• 11:37
  Speaker 9: would they beat up Hollister and attack us, What have
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: they got to be afraid of?
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: I think I've got part of the answer. Happening.
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: Rob and Corbo apparently have stumbled onto something more than
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: Octurian bearing rock. I think they've found out what happened
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: to Captain Hartog. Wow, the lab has carefully analyzed those
• 11:53
  Speaker 8: space suits we took from the ship. If you remember
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: those dark flakes and the powdered promis, yes, sir, they're
• 11:58
  Speaker 8: bits of enamel they scraped off of metal when Rough
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: and Corbol walked over it in their suits. Enamel that
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: was once used to coat the interior of space ships.
• 12:07
  Speaker 9: But how does that connect up with Captain Heartog, sir,
• 12:10
  Speaker 9: because enamel of this type hasn't been used in ninety years.
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: Of course, Rough and Corbo might have been tramping around
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: the wreck of another old Gault, but.
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: They also show up with transplutype. There's only one conclusion.
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: Then, Hertogs ship was wrecked here inside the Solar System.
• 12:25
  Speaker 8: And if we only knew where, the vector computer from
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: Corbo's ship gave us a clue. Corbo didn't come to
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: Neptune directly from Jupiter. The formula for the vector curve
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: indicates that they came from the direction of planetoid sixty.
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: Planetoid sixty, Yes, it's one of the thousands of planetoids
• 12:40
  Speaker 8: that have never been officially observed at close range. Its
• 12:43
  Speaker 8: orbit is so freaky that Old sixty has been out
• 12:45
  Speaker 8: of the regular space lanes for fifty years.
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: That's where Heartogs ship crashed.
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: And that's what we're going to find out. Let's get
• 12:51
  Speaker 8: out of the spaceport. We're blasting off right away.
• 13:01
  Speaker 11: Cut our velocity happy. Even at this distance, it won't
• 13:03
  Speaker 11: take us long to completely circle the planetoid. Yes, sure,
• 13:07
  Speaker 11: it's small, not more than ten miles in diameter. I
• 13:10
  Speaker 11: think I see something in the fuscope sirt, sort of
• 13:12
  Speaker 11: a dark area on the white surface.
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: You're right, increase the sensitivity more pull it.
• 13:20
  Speaker 9: It's a wreck ship, Commander, what a crash. That must
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: have been chunks of the huller scattered all over.
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: You'll put on a space suits and set the ship down.
• 13:28
  Speaker 12: I want to get a close look at that wreckage.
• 13:40
  Speaker 10: Give me the control. I'll take her into the landing
• 13:42
  Speaker 10: for a look.
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: There's a space ship on the planet to it, right
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: near the wreck.
• 13:45
  Speaker 10: That's Corey's ship.
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: Terrified. How did he know this is where hart Talk crashed.
• 13:49
  Speaker 10: I don't know, but this is a good chance to
• 13:51
  Speaker 10: get rid of him.
• 13:52
  Speaker 11: You mean blast a ship, leave them stranded here now, Look,
• 13:55
  Speaker 11: they're in space suits poking around the wreckage. You'll blastm
• 13:58
  Speaker 11: with a space cannon, then land you blast off in
• 14:00
  Speaker 11: Corey's ship what four. You don't want anyone to find
• 14:03
  Speaker 11: a trace of Corey ship on that planet. Toid you're
• 14:06
  Speaker 11: out in space, I'll join air locks with Terra five
• 14:08
  Speaker 11: and you come aboard.
• 14:10
  Speaker 10: Then we'll cut Corey ship loose.
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: I get it.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: They'll find Corey's ship maybe, but they'll never know what
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: happened to Corey.
• 14:16
  Speaker 11: Right, we'll be able to keep searching planetoids sixty for
• 14:19
  Speaker 11: the rest of Heartog's treasure.
• 14:20
  Speaker 10: All right, train your gun sights on Flory.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: For the looks of the wreckage would be the ship
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: didn't hit a head on, It came in and mangled right.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Over those pinnacles of rock. Yes, is it heartg Ship?
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: Sir? I don't know.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: If a boy the fragments and what's left of the instruments,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: I'd say it was at least one hundred years old. Hey,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: look at this, a blue rock, A chunk of transplutite?
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Is there are more chunks scuttered around? There must have
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: been tons of it in.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: The cargo home.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Come on, there's somebody shooting at us. It's the space
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: ship coming in low corporal.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, we'll return to space patrol in just a moment.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: Hey, space patrollers, how would you like.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: To go along with me into a hidden world, a
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: world your eyes alone cannot see what am I talking about?
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: How can you do it?
• 15:15
  Speaker 10: Well?
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: I wish I could tell you this very moment, but
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: until the end of today's Space Patrol program, this great
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: wonderful trip is a deep dark secret.
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: This much, however, I can tell you.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: To get into this hidden world, you need a magical
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: scientific instrument, an official piece of Space Patrol equipment. It's
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: a surprise for you from Commander Corey, a new and
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: different surprise you'll really go for. So stand by, have
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: pencil and paper ready, and they all set to hear
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: this exciting, wonderful news at the end of today's Space
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Patrol adventure. And now back to the treasure of Planetoid sixty.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Through some tinny fragments of enamel found clinging to the
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: boots of a space Commander, Corey with the new Space
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Patrol microscope and other laboratory equipment, has partly solved the mystery.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: He has discovered that Captain Hartog, a space explorer of
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: a century before, crashed his ship on Planetoid sixty. While
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: examining the wreckage, Buzz and Happy were attacked by Ruff
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: and Corbol who fired blast at them from their space cruiser.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Now the two criminals are hovering above the scene looking
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: for the trace of Buzz and Happy.
• 16:26
  Speaker 10: Looks like we got him.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: Reped, not a trace of him.
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the last blast not only finished him, it buried
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: him on.
• 16:31
  Speaker 10: The rock ledge cleft right on top of him.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: Nice neat chap.
• 16:35
  Speaker 11: Nothing the tidy up except to get rid of Corey's ship.
• 16:38
  Speaker 11: Get into a spacesuit and I'll set our ship down.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, after I blast off and terrified, where do I head?
• 16:44
  Speaker 10: Point it out toward the Pluto orbit. Then I'll join
• 16:46
  Speaker 10: air locks and bring.
• 16:47
  Speaker 11: You back aboard before you leave Corey ship. Cut on
• 16:50
  Speaker 11: the automatic emergency signal on the spaceboat. That'll bring the
• 16:53
  Speaker 11: space patrol after the ship, and no one will bother
• 16:55
  Speaker 11: about planetoid sixty.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Happy, can you hear me? Yes, sir, very faintly. Are
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: you all right? I think so, certainly. Can't move. I'm
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: buried under a pile of rock and so am on it,
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: but I think I can.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Work blues there. My head and shoulders are out now. Lucky,
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: these helmets and suits are built to take a lot
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: of punishment. I'll be free in a few seconds. Happy,
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: once you're able to move. These rocks aren't heavy. There
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: isn't much gravity on this little planet toid there?
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: Hell, Happy? Where? Oh? I see the top of your helmet.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: The shirt came close with that space cannon, and I
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: was sure that last blast.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Was our finish. Evidently Rough and Corbol thought I was too.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Here are all these rocks away from around your helmet
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: so I can grab you under the shoulders. There, here
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: we go, Thanks man, Better turn up the power on
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: your suit transmitter.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: Happy, I can barely hear you, all right? Has that
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: any better?
• 18:04
  Speaker 10: Little?
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: It's all the way up, and you're pretty faint yourself.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: That fall of rock must have damage our transmitters. Hey, Commander,
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: our ship is gone. Rough and Corbo or smarter than
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: I thought. What do you mean, sir? It won't take
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: a space patrol long to find the ship. There won't
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: be anything to make anyone look for us here in
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: planetoit sixty And with our transmitter's damage, Ge Commander, we're stranded.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: Yes, until Rough and Corbo come back. If they do,
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: they probably will.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: If they didn't intend to, there wouldn't have been any
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: point in taking our ship instead of plasting it here. Well,
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: suppose they do come back, they'll finish us off if
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: they see us. We'll take care of that when the
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: time counts come in. Look, what are the shots that
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Corbo and Rough find us hit the wreckage?
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Uh s turned it up worse than it was. Oh,
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: what's this? What's watching?
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: This transparent plastic case is writing inside the small lump
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: of metal with a chain on it. It looks like
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: some sort of a bracelet that's engraved. Captain Jules Hearttog, what's.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: The writing of? Answer?
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Stated January fifteenth, twenty eight to fifty three, One hundred
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: years ago, Hartog wrote this, happy listen.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: This is written just before what may be my last
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: voyage in space. When we found we were enable you
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: to throll our.
• 19:22
  Speaker 13: Shoe, and the crash was inevitable. We bailed out in
• 19:26
  Speaker 13: our spacesuits. We drifted here four hours later. Now the
• 19:32
  Speaker 13: three of us, Mowbray, Clayton and myself are about to
• 19:36
  Speaker 13: blest off on an emergency space raft. Our hope of
• 19:41
  Speaker 13: rescue is slight, but it is better to be out
• 19:44
  Speaker 13: in space, headed for the unknown, than to wait on
• 19:48
  Speaker 13: this planetoid for the inevitable end.
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: We leave behind a treasure.
• 19:54
  Speaker 14: With luck, we shall return to claim it ourselves. You
• 19:59
  Speaker 14: who read this perhaps are here by chance forgive us.
• 20:03
  Speaker 14: Then if we selfishly decline to make it easy for
• 20:07
  Speaker 14: you to obtain what.
• 20:08
  Speaker 15: We have discovered by years of sacrifice and the risk
• 20:12
  Speaker 15: of our lives and a sign Captain Jules Hardtog three
• 20:18
  Speaker 15: men in a tiny space raft.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: No wonder they were never found, and all this happened
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: to hunters ago. But well, I feel like it just happened.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: I can understand why they took the space raft rather
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: than stay here. We're in the same fix and we
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: haven't got a space raft. At least Captain Hartog left
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: us for something to do to pass the time.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: What's that, sir? Look for the treasure. I wonder how
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: long it would take us to search this whole planetoid.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Several days, probably, you know, Happy, I've been wondering why
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Captain Hartog left.
• 20:44
  Speaker 10: This lump of metal here with this letter.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: Well, what kind of metal is it? Sir? It looks
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: like platinum. Happy.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Do you have your space patrol microscope where you can
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: get it? Yes, sir, it's in the belt pouch of
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: my Spacesuit'll let me have it. I want to take
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: a look at these scratches.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: Yes, here it is. Thanks.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: You know, from the shape of this platinum lump, it
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: just might be a model of this planetoid.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: All Now, if I can get.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: These scratch marks in the focus there, I was right happy.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: Captain Hartog left us a map, a map of planetoid sixty.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: What there are letters here?
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Let us so small they can't be seen without the microscope.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Planetoid sixty as a cross marked in the face of
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: this tiny lump.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: Under it's the word cave. Give.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Then that must be where the treasure is. If we
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: can pick out the spot where we are now, we'll
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: be able to.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: Locate the cave.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: See over there to our left is a sort of
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: knife headed ridge of rock. To the right three small
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: pinnacles and sort of triangle. Now, if there's something like
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: that on the metal lump, can you find it, sir? Yeah,
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: now here it is. The cave is about a third
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: of the way around, near the side of the planetoid.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Let's get going, okay, Corbo, before I left Corey ship,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: but turned on the automatic emergency signal on the space phone.
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: You can cut the terrified loose now.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: All right up.
• 22:13
  Speaker 11: By the time the space toe picks up, the signal
• 22:15
  Speaker 11: and comes to investigate.
• 22:16
  Speaker 10: We'll be thousands of deals away.
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: You're sure it's safe to go back to planetoid sixty
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: right away?
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Sure?
• 22:21
  Speaker 11: With Corey ship out near the Pluto orbit, planetoid sixty
• 22:24
  Speaker 11: would be the last place they look for Corey.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Now, let's go back and load up all that transplutide
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: we can find.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: We must be getting close to the cave, sir. We're
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: on the rim of that saucer shaped depression that shows
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: in the middle lump. If I've met the map right,
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: the cave should be right behind that rock. Matter, it's
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: hard talks cave. Yes, duck back into the bluff. Pleasure
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: a tom of light in that happy? Yes, say, look
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: at that. It's full of boxes, packed clear up to
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: the top of the cave. See if we can make
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: out the labels trans plutite, transplutite. That most of these
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: on the left side seems to be transplutite, Sir, m
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: h millions of credits worth? Wow, cares the light up
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: there on the wall of the cave. Happy, it's an
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: astrogation chart. Yes, the Solar system with one orbit marked
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: in red. It must be a comet orbit, Sir. It
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: loops clear outside of Pluto and then comes in fairly
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: close to Sun once every hundred years. Happy, that isn't
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: a common orbit, it's a planetoid. Look with the chart,
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: says part top planetoid needs it after himself. I guess
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: that must be the original source of the transplutite, the
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: rock that contains arcturium, and the used planetoid sixty sort
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: of way station in storage place.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: Right. We can only get this news.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: To the the commander look spaceship Carbo and roping back.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: They'll probably stay it back at the rink. And here
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: we are ten miles away. It's very happy. May we
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: get back there before they blast off?
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: On this low gravity planetoid, we can make pretty good time.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: We've got a pretty good pile of transplute here, Corbo.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: Should we carry it out of the ship Now there's
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: a lot more scouted around. We might as well get
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: all we can while we're here.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, there are a few chunks over there for the
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: rock where we've blasted Kory.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: We'll go get them. Uble would those rocks be like
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: that if Corey and the cadet were under him. They've
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: been moved. Corey and the cadet got out. Where are they?
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: I suppose they've been picked up.
• 24:27
  Speaker 16: Oh maybe, but I doubt it. There hasn't been enough time.
• 24:31
  Speaker 16: If they were, there'd probably be space patrol ships around
• 24:33
  Speaker 16: waiting for us to come back. Let's get the ship
• 24:35
  Speaker 16: flashed off.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: They don't get panicky. Let's see if we.
• 24:38
  Speaker 16: Can locate Corey in the cadet. If they're still here,
• 24:41
  Speaker 16: we better finish them up. Come on, let's try this.
• 24:44
  Speaker 10: Director.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: They're walking away from the ship now, so they'll keep
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: down happy, don't let them see them, Yes, sir, they're
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: looking for us. When they go a few more yards,
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: we'll run for their ship and keep low. All recommended,
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: But I'm not ta anymore. I don't think the sup
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: space phones is growing off frequency, but we don't want
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: to take any chances.
• 25:09
  Speaker 8: I hear them in the airlockser then they finished loading
• 25:12
  Speaker 8: the transplute height and the cargo hold. I stand back
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: the other side of the hatch, happy, and they get
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: clear inside the ship before we rush them.
• 25:19
  Speaker 11: Yes, sir, I will blast off and make a careful
• 25:24
  Speaker 11: search of the planetoid at low altitude.
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I won't take long to find them on this
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: dank yanker rock. You're right, Rob, it won't take long
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: at all?
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: Rap over your egg?
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: Oh no, you don't, Corbo?
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: Does that? Can? Ben?
• 25:43
  Speaker 10: Sure?
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: Do you want some more?
• 25:44
  Speaker 10: You got? It's corny?
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: All right?
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: Rough on your feel?
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: Sure, Corbo? What did you do with my ship?
• 25:49
  Speaker 11: It's heading out towards the Pluto orbit the automatic distressingle
• 25:52
  Speaker 11: on the spacephone.
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: I'll check on that with the receiver after I lock
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: you man.
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: Incidentally, Corbo, I thought you might like to know that
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: there's more arcturium here than you ever dreamed of.
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: What do you mean You found a cave full of it?
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and an astrogation chart of the planetoid where Hearttog
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: got it.
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: Originally you would have had a share of at Corbo
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: if you'd played straight.
• 26:10
  Speaker 11: Rebini figured Hartog used planetoid sixty is storage base.
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: But how'd you find the cave?
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: We've been over this whole planetoid a dozen times with
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: a fine toothed comb, A fine tooth comb.
• 26:20
  Speaker 17: Well, that's where you made a mistake. You should have
• 26:22
  Speaker 17: used the microscope.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: An action preview of next week's ex Settings Space Patrol
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: adventure in just a moment, Yang, here it is the
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: announcement you've been waiting for.
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: The big new.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Surprise buzz Corey has for everybody the surprise that'll give
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: you a glimpse into a mysterious hidden world you've never
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: seen before. Get pencil and paper set. Here's Buzzcorey with
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: the entire story. Space Patrol is.
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: This is your lucky day because now you can own
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: an official Space Patrol Microscope kit. I just think of
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: all the important work the Space Patrol microscope did for
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: us today. It showed us that there were enamel flakes
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: mixed in that innocent looking white powder. And it showed
• 27:05
  Speaker 8: us that Captain Hartog had scratched a secret.
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: Map on the top of a small lump of metal.
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: Now you'll be able to examine all kinds of tiny
• 27:12
  Speaker 8: parnicles and objects with your Space Patrol microscope too.
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: Way do you get it?
• 27:16
  Speaker 17: You'll agree the Space Patrol microscope is a mighty important
• 27:19
  Speaker 17: instrument to have. Think of the fun, Think of all
• 27:22
  Speaker 17: you can learn an honest, a goodness scientific instrument with
• 27:26
  Speaker 17: the power to magnify objects.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Fifteen times gang. You can see the wing of a
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: butterfly fifteen times actual size, the feeders of an insect
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: fifteen times actual size, the texture of paper, the petals
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: of flowers, human hair grains of sand, all fifteen times
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: actual size. And imagine, imagine seeing the living creatures in
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: a drop of water. You can do it with a
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Space Patrol microscope. It's made of sturdy, green plastic and
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: it's so compact you can carry it in your pocket.
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: Small but powerful, just five.
• 27:58
  Speaker 17: Inches high yet at the fize objects fifteen times actual size.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: But remember we're offering you an entire kit, the Space
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Patrol microscope, plus four clear acetate slides for mounting specimen,
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: plus a fifth slide containing a fiery atomic particle gang.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: The lens tube is not cheap cardboard, it's real plastic.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: It will not wear out or slip out.
• 28:21
