  Speaker 2: Space Patrol! In today's transcribed space patrol adventure, Buzz and
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Happy are trying to drive off one of Prince Baccarati's
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: atmosphere ships before it destroys.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: A small submarine in the great sea of Panadex.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: We're driving him off, Hap.
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: He's had on all rockets.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: But what happened to the sub? We'll take care of
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: it later after we've chased that atmosphere ship away.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Commander, they're firing at us. They want to play rough,
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: we'll cooperate. Stand by to fire space torpedoes.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: We're hit!
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: We've knocked out our starboard rockets.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: We're out of control.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Commander, we're going to crash!
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: We'll return in just a moment with today's exciting Space
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Patrol adventure, The Sea Monster of Planet X. Only nine
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: days left to enter the Name the Planet contest. Space patrollers,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: this is Commander Corey reminding you that you have only
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: nine more days to enter the Name the Planet contest
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and win the giant rocket clubhouse and $ 1, 500. Only nine
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: days left to win one of the 750 Schwinn varsity bicycles.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: But that's time enough to enter and win if you
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: act fast. First, go to your Weatherbird shoe store. Say,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: let's listen in on a fellow who just arrived at
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: his Weatherbird store.
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: Hi, Mr.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Weatherberg, man.
• 2:23
  Speaker 7: I want a coin album and entry blanks with the
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: name of the planet content.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: You bet, son.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Here you are.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: And it's absolutely free. You don't have to buy a thing.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Inside that free coin album are three space coins and
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: a place to write your name for Planet X. Then,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: just get three more space coins from three packages of
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Hot Ralston. You'll find a space coin in every Hot

• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the Name the Planet contest. Hurry, see your Weatherbird shoe
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: dealer and get Hot Ralston today. And now, today's exciting
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: space football adventure, the Sea Monster of Planet X.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: What is the fate of Vince Baccarati?
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: That's the question uppermost in the minds of Commander Corey
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: and Cadet Happy as they maneuver the Terra-5 slowly over
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the great sea of Planet X. In their last adventure,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Buzz and Happy cornered Baccarati and Dr.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Malangro in a deserted city under the sea.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: But the prince and his henchmen slipped into an escape
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: hatch and shot through the surface in some sort of
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: sealed capsule. Now, as their spaceship circles over the approximate
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: location of the engulfed city, Buzz and Happy watch the
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: viewscopes for a sign of the strange cylinder.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Containing the two men.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: There's not a thing on the surface, Commander.
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: By the way, that capsule shot out of that tube
• 4:28
  Speaker 8: down there in the city, I thought sure it'd be
• 4:29
  Speaker 8: bobbing on top of the sea like a cord.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: A lot of things could have happened since then, Hattie.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: It took us at least an hour to get back
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: through the tunnel to the Inland Valley and then blast off.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: The chance that cylinder is more than just a sealed
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: life there. That cylinder might be able to submerge and
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: move underwater.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: Like a submarine. Exactly.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: For all we know, it could move at tremendous speed.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: There's no telling where Baccarati is now. He may be
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: hundreds of miles away. Or he might be heading for
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: shore to get back to his spaceship.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: He wouldn't try that, Hattie. For hundreds of miles along here,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: the coast is lined with bluffs a thousand feet high.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Even if there was a stretch of beach, there's still
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: those enormous breakers.
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Waves a couple hundred feet high, at least.
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: Besides, if he got ashore, Baccarati would have an overland
• 5:07
  Speaker 8: hike of 50 miles to the valley.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: If Baccarati can control that cylinder, he'll probably try to
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: get back.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: To his castle.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: But that's thousands of miles from the sea. Yes.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: He has a few installations close to the rivers. That's right.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: If you reach one of those, you could get a
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: spaceship or an atmosphere job.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: The mouth of the Colossus River to the east, I think.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: That's probably where Baccarati would head.
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: Yes, sir.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: If he's underwater, it'll be difficult to locate.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: But we can't give up till we find him. I
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: know for sure he'll never bother us again.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Meantime, far from the steep bluffs that rim the coastline
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: of the great sea, a bullet-shaped craft skims the surface
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: of the ocean at tremendous speed.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Huddled in the tiny compartment, Prince Baccarati and Dr.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Malangro anxiously study the small but battling control panel and
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: its weird symbols.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Malangro, do something to stop this thing. But, Your Highness,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: I know nothing about this ship, or whatever it is.
• 6:01
  Speaker 9: Remember, it was built hundreds of years ago by an
• 6:03
  Speaker 9: ancient race here on Planet X.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Don't give me a lecture.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: Get it stopped before it carries us out clear to
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: the middle of the great sea. I can only guess
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: as to the function of these controls.
• 6:12
  Speaker 9: Suppose I were to touch something that would open the
• 6:15
  Speaker 9: hatch and let the water in.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: We would sink immediately.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Then don't touch it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Don't touch anything until you're sure.
• 6:20
  Speaker 9: Your Highness will be patient. I think I can reason
• 6:23
  Speaker 9: it out. This indicator here seems to.
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: Be a compass.
• 6:27
  Speaker 9: It's logical to assume that the wheel inside the calibrated
• 6:29
  Speaker 9: dial controls directions.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Careful now, Meringo.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: We're changing course. See, Your Highness, I was right. This
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: wheel controls the steering mechanism. Then head back for the shore, quickly.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: We don't know how much fuel we have.
• 6:44
  Speaker 9: Excellency, I suggest that we proceed either up or down
• 6:48
  Speaker 9: the coast. To approach close to the shore at this point, well,
• 6:51
  Speaker 9: we'd be dashed against the cliffs.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: All right, all right.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: But at least let's not get out of the sight
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: of the land. I wonder which of these controls submerges
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: the craft.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: What do you want to submerge for?
• 7:02
  Speaker 9: Corey will be searching for us, you know. On the surface,
• 7:05
  Speaker 9: we would be fairly easy to find.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's right. But be careful now.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: This critical lever is going to advance slightly.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: We're going under.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Right to the surface again.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Milango, do you hear me?
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Yes, Your Highness. Don't submerge again until you know how
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: to control this thing. Yes, Your Highness.
• 7:31
  Speaker 9: May I point out that the only way I can
• 7:32
  Speaker 9: learn to control it is by trial and error. Milangro,
• 7:36
  Speaker 9: which way is the Colossus River? We're heading roughly in
• 7:40
  Speaker 9: that direction now, Sire.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Eastward.
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: Go up the river to my spaceship factory.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: If we go ashore now, we'll have to cross hundreds
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: of miles on foot. You are right, Excellency. The river
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: is our best choice. Do you think we have enough
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: power to reach the factory? I have no way of knowing, Sire.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: We can only hope for the best.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Flying in a zigzag pattern over the surface of the
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: great sea, Buzz and Happy work their way toward.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: The mouth of the Colossus River.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Hours go by, and still there is no sign of
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: the bullet-shaped cylinder containing Baccarati and Malingro.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: I guess they must have sunk, Commander.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Perhaps, but that's not underrated to people that built that
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: undersea city, Happy. Oh, we needed some help.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: With our search. But who's going to help us? Why
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: not Baccarati's own men?
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: What?
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: When he doesn't return to his castle in a reasonable
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: length of time, they're going to come out to Trader Valley.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Aren't they?
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: I guess so. And they must have known he was
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: headed there.
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: Of course.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: They'll find his ship. That means they'll make trouble for
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: the natives, thinking they must have done something to the prince.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: We don't want that. No, sir.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I've thought of a way to protect the natives and
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: at the same time start Baccarati's men to search in
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: the sea.
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: How, sir?
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: They'll go back to the valley and pick up Baccarati's.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Ship with a magnetic holding field after cutting on the
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: space phone's distress signal in the other ship. And they'll
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: circle back out to sea and after a time drop
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Baccarati's ship into the water.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: Great.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: That'll bring a flock of his ships to search for him.
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: It should.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: But how are we going to get Baccarati away from
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: his men after they find him?
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: We've done it before, Hap. We can do it again.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Elsewhere, thousands of miles away in Prince Baccarati's castle, two
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: men listen intently to a spacephone signal.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: That's the boss all right, Arkin.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: He's in trouble. Get a picture on him, Warbin. I'm
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: getting it. Out toward Crater Valley. Those natives must be
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: giving him a bad time.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Don't be stupid. What can ignorant natives do against a
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: spaceship in flight?
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: That's right.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Besides, he's beyond the valley.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: He's out toward the great sea. I'd better send some
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: ships out after him.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: He stopped sending.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Maybe he's okay now.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Look, Arkin, when an automatic emergency code signal cuts out,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: it means real trouble.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: He may have crashed. Let's not sit here, Gavin. I'll
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: alert the gang at the spaceport.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Wait a minute. Hold it.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: This may be a chance to get ourselves in real
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: good with Baccarat.
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: Wait a minute.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I'll send somebody else out to get the glory. We'll
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: be relieved here in a few minutes.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: We'll get a ship and search for the boss on
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: our own without telling anybody.
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I see what you mean.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: But if he's really in a jam and we don't
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: tell him.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Of course he's in a jam. A bad one.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: If we find him, we're heroes, big shot.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: If we don't, well, nobody will be any the wiser.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: How about it?
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: How about you?
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: We just won't log that distress call. There are no
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: opportunities for advancement.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Now, in complete control of the strange submarine, Malangro pilots
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: the craft toward the mouth of the Colossus River, while
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Prince Baccarati peers up to the transparent dome, watching for
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Commander Corey's spaceship.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: We're approaching the mouth of the river now, sire. See
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: how the headlands are flattening out? In an emergency, we
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: could land anywhere along the beach.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: All right, all right.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Does this club have a space phone on it? I
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: do not think so, sire. Wait a minute.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: I think I see a spaceship.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Where? Over there to the right.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: It's coming over the horizon.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: You're right, sire. I see it.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Submerge!
• 11:13
  Speaker 8: Submerge!
• 11:14
  Speaker 9: But, your highness, I don't think it's Corey. It's approaching
• 11:17
  Speaker 9: from over the mainland. Corey knows we're somewhere in the sea.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Then it's one of my own ships. It must be, excellent.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: I wish there was some way to signal him. It's
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: probably so small he might not see us. I'll increase
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: our speed, sire. Zigzag over the water. The white foam
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: of our wake will be visible for miles. All right.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Do it, then.
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: It is one of my ships.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: I can tell now.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: I picked up something in the viewscope, Commander. A moving
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: object on a heading of 147 degrees.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: Now 23 degrees low.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Headed right to the spot where we dropped Baccarati's ship
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: in the sea. It's an atmosphere ship, sir. If you
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: hold their solitude happy.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Todd, there's only one ship. I expected 10 or 20.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, with the big boss in distress, I figured every
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: ship on Planet X would turn out.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Possibly more will show up later. Our main job now
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: is to keep from being detected.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Marcus, turn your scanners up to full sensitivity. We're near
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: the spot where the boss's signal cut out.
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: It's bad water.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: It's not over the great sea.
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: That's the sign of a wrecked ship. Probably sank.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Dr.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Riley still might have made sure. If he was lucky.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: I'd hate to take my chances with some of the
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: things that are supposed to.
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: Be in these waters. He said it.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: You know, I hear there's a giant jellyfish. Wait.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: That's down there in the water.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: White Street.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Let me adjust that viewscope. Pedal velocity, will you?
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: Sure, sure.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Some sort of surface. Seems like a projection.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Look at it.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: What's a zigzag like that for?
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Spaceship tactics. They want to make themselves a tough target.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: Where'd it come from? I never saw anything like it
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: before on Planet X.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Probably some new space patrol gadget. Now we know what
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: happened to Baccarati.
• 13:06
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: They blasted him out of the sky.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: We better get away from there or we'll be matched.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: There's maneuvering down there.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: I'd say he was afraid of us.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: Let's blast him with a space.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: Bomb, Peter.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: That'll be tough to hit.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: But it'll look good if Baccarati's ashore watching us. All right,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: hold this heading, Harkett. I'm going to cut loose.
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: Ah, missed him.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: All right, let's get away from here before he fires back.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: No, wait, let's make another pass.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Maybe he used up all his ammunition on the boss's ship.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Commander, that ship's firing at something down there in the water.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: I saw the explosion, Captain. Adjust the view scope. All right.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Smoking rockets?
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: There's a small surface craft down there, sir.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: That's what we've been looking for. It's Baccarati.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: But why are his own men firing at him?
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: They have no way of knowing it's Baccarati, and they
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: aren't taking any chances.
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: That atmosphere ship's coming back for another pass, sir. We've
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: got to drive him off now. We're going to take
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: Baccarati alive.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: He sees us. He's cut on all rockets.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Keep after him till we run him off.
• 14:15
  Speaker 10: Yes, sir.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: We'll chase that atmosphere ship way out to sea. Commander,
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: they're firing at us.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: They want to play rope. You'll cooperate. Stand by to
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: fire speed. Commander, we're hit. Stock down on starboard rockets.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: We're out of control. We'll return to space patrol in
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: just a moment.
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: Space patrollers, this is Carol. I want to tell you
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: about the 750 beautiful Swin varsity bicycles. 750 lucky space patrollers.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: Are going to win.
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: And to name the planet content. Their big, husky beauty. Schwinn,
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: the best bike made. The three-speed gear shift, two-wheel handbrakes,
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: and all the other famous Schwinn features. And you can
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: win a Schwinn. But there's not much time. Go to
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: your Weatherbird shoe store right away. If you don't know
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: where the nearest Weatherbird shoe store is, you can find
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: out in the yellow pages of your telephone book.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: So don't wait.
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: See your Weatherbird shoe dealer today. And get going now
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: on the Name the Planet contest.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: And now, back to our space patrol adventure, the Sea
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Monster of Planet X. Unable to locate the small, submersible
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: craft by which Baccarati and Dr. Malangro escaped from the
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: undersea city, Buzz devised a plan to lure Baccarati's own
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: men to aid in the search.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: After turning on.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: The emergency spacephone signal in Baccarati's deserted spaceship, Buzz and
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Happy lifted the ship by magnetic force field and then
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: dropped it into the great sea. Two of Baccarati's men
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: picked up the signal of the casualty and set out.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: To rescue their chief.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: They decided the tiny craft on the water was a
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: space patrol weapon and so fired upon it. In attempting
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: to drive off the atmosphere ship, Buzz and Happy were
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: fired upon by Baccarati's men. With a hole in the
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: hull of their spaceship, Buzz and Happy are now circling
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: helplessly over the great sea.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: That torpedo tore out a starboard rocket control happy. We're
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: losing altitude.
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: When that atmosphere ship comes back, I'll sure let them
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: have it. Our space weapons are still in order. Apparently
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: they're glad to be out of the fight, Hap. They
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: know that was a lucky hit. We're just going in circles.
• 16:21
  Speaker 8: We're going to try to set her down on the beach.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: With the side push of the rockets, what's to keep
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: us from swerving out into the sea?
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: I'll spiral down to her on course parallel with the shore,
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: then cut rockets and ease her down with a repel array.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: If I can groove her down to that long stretch
• 16:32
  Speaker 8: of beach, it might work. This will have to be
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: the last spiral, Hap. One more circle over the land
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: and we'll hit those cliffs back at the beach. Yeah,
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: you were right about that atmosphere shift, sir.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: It's not coming back. Stand by repeller ray.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Standing by, sir. When I cut rockets, we should continue
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: on a straight course.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Here we go, Hap. Full repeller ray.
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: We're going awfully fast for a landing, sir.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: I know it, Hap. I've panned the repeller ray forward
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: to give us some braking action. It's working, sir.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: We're slowing down.
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Nice going, Commander.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: I'd hate to have to do it again.
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: If the space phone works, we can call Pluto Space
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: Patrol and let them know we're here.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: At the same time, let Baccarati's men in on the secret.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: They could get here.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Quicker than our ships could. Yeah, that's right.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: We wouldn't stand a chance.
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: Let's take a look at the damage, Hank.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: Hey, that's some hole.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, but we were lucky. The torpedo hit us a
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: glancing blow and didn't explode on contact.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: Sounded like it did.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: It was a couple of thousand yards behind us when
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: it blew up. Well, this is going to be a job.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: I think we can handle it.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Let's get to work.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Far out from the beach, a metallic object lurks just
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: beneath the surface of the sea. Then, cautiously, a transparent
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: dome rises a few inches out of the water... Carefully,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Prince Baccarati scans the sky and.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Then turns toward the beach.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: Hold it, Malangro. Keep it just as it is. Yes,
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: Your Highness. Corrie has landed on the beach. Is there
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: ship damage, sire?
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: It doesn't appear to be.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Wait a minute. There's a hole in the hull.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: Quite a gash.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Otherwise, it seems to be all right. There is Corrie.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: He's trying to repair the damage.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: It's going to take them some time, by the looks
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: of it. We'll wait till they're just about finished.
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: Then go ashore and surprise them.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Excellent, Your Highness. But suppose Corey's ship is too badly
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: damaged to blast off.
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: There'll be at least one workable space phone transmitter aboard.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: We can call the castle for help.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: All right, Malengo. Submerge and make for the inlet on
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: the other side of those rocks.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Its motors purring, the sleek craft moves underwater and then turns.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Into the inlet.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: The dome breaks the surface as the tiny sub moves
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: toward the shore. A gentle grinding sound tells Baccarati and
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Malangro that their craft is in shallow water.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: All right, Malangro.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Cut off the power. Yes, Your Highness.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Now open the hatch. Do you know how to do it?
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: I think so, Excellency. We'll have to wade ashore, Malingo.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: See that your weapons don't get wet.
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: Yes, sir.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: I think this is the hatch release. I'm getting it, sire.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: There.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Boost me up, Belangro. Yes, your highness.
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: Now, come on, hurry.
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: Coming, your excellency.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Come on.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Arms held above their heads to protect their weapons, Malangro
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: and Baccarati wade ashore, hidden from the spaceship by large rocks.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Their movements are not entirely unobserved. Four pairs of eyes
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: are on them as they emerge onto the beach. Four
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: pairs of eyes attached to a single barrel-shaped head. The
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: head rises up from the quiet waters of the inlet,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: several hundred yards offshore. Supported by huge coils, the head
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: rises farther out of the water. and a ripple of
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: excitement passes down a gigantic body. Then the head is
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: lowered until only the eyes are above the surface, and
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: the monster moves silently toward the beach. Meantime, Commander Corey
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: applies an atomo torch to the outer skin of the
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: spaceship's hull.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: I think that does it, Happy.
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: Yes, sir.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Rough job, but it'll have to do.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: It didn't take as long as I thought, sir. I
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: just hope we've got all those wires connected right.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: We'll get back on the ship and make a final
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: test before we.
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: Try to blast off.
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Take the torch, will you, Hathaway?
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: Thanks. Hold it, Hathaway. The tender examined the hull of
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: the ship. Yes, sir. I thought I saw something move
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: down the beach toward those big rocks. Huh? It might
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: have been a large seabird. Then again, it might not.
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: I had a glimpse out of the corner of my eyes.
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: There is something moving. It's a man falling along the sand.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: Baccarati?
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: Yes. And the land goes right behind him.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: What do we do? Rush him?
• 21:41
  Speaker 10: No.
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: Pretend you don't notice anything. Be very interested in the
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: ship's hull.
• 21:46
  Speaker 10: Then casually get into the ship before you're going after
• 21:49
  Speaker 10: more tools.
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: You want me to bring out a ray gun?
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: Keep them hidden, though. You wait for them to rush
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: us and then let them have it. Yes, sir. Smoking rockets.
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: Are they coming?
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: No, sir, but I just saw something else. Maybe I'm
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: space happy. One of those big rocks is moving.
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: If we weren't on Planet X, I'd think I was
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: having hallucinations. What is it, sir? There's no name for it.
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: Centuries ago, on this planet Earth, it would have been
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: called a sea monster.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's on land. At least part of it is.
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: Well, it's moving very quietly.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: Commander, it's after Baccarati and Malingo. We'd better warn them. Wait.
• 22:31
  Speaker 10: We don't know how fast that thing can move. Any
• 22:32
  Speaker 10: noise or sudden motion might make it attack right now.
• 22:36
  Speaker 10: Get into the ship, Hap, and get a couple of
• 22:38
  Speaker 10: blast guns.
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: Yes, sir.
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: The boom slowly happens.
• 22:49
  Speaker 9: A hundred feet more and we can rush them.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Cory's there alone now. Keep your head down.
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: Just keep crawling. Keep low.
• 22:56
  Speaker 9: What's that?
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Your Highness, it's a monster.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: It's after us.
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: Run, Monaco.
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: Right between the rocks.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: Run for the rocks.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Help.
• 23:09
  Speaker 8: Hurry.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: Help.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Hurry, Happy. Get those blast guns. Coming, Commander. It's attacking them.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: They've hidden between those rocks.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: Spoken rockets.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Give me a gun, Happy. Here you are, sir.
• 23:25
  Speaker 8: Help!
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: Help!
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: They're still alive. Monster can't reach them.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: If it had raised its head, I could blast them.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: Hold it, Happy.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: It might hit Baccarati and Malangro. We've got to get closer.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: Come on.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Commander, it's trying to pull the rocks apart with its claws.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: We can't waste any shots on this thing, Happy. I'm
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: going in close and divert its attention.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: So be careful, Commander.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: When it moves toward me, we'll both fire.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Help!
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: Commander!
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Commander, here he comes. Let him have it, huh? Run, Commander, run!
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: He's down. We got him.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: Keep away from him.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Watch out for his tail.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: He's done for, sir.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Took a lot of doing. All right, Baccarati, come out now.
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: Oh, Commander.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: What a dreadful creature. It nearly had us.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: Commander, you saved our lives.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Yes, Commander. I'm very grateful.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: Why, those awful jaws came that close to me.
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: Malangro and I were just going to surrender when that
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: monster charged us.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Cut it, Baccarati. We saw you trying to sneak up
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: on us. Now come on into the ship.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Yes, Commander.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: Wow, I thought we'd never finish that thing, sir. I
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: emptied my blaster.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: Better collect a weapons hat. No, you don't, cadet.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: Stand right where you are, both of you. Commander.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: I warn you, cadet, don't move. Your Highness.
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: Don't be frightened, Malangro. Corey and the cadet are helpless.
• 24:49
  Speaker 8: Didn't they empty their breath guns into the monster?
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Sorry, Commander. I had to open my big mouth.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: Just keep your hands up, both of you. All right, Baccarone.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: What are you going to do with us? Take us
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: to your castle?
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: Oh, no. I'm going to leave you here. Your Highness.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: They did save our lives.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: Shut up, Belango. I know what I'm doing. After all,
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: they do have an even chance for survival. You ungrateful coward.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: You mean you'd leave us here on this beach, miles
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: from any settlement? It's all right, Hap. We don't ask
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: favors of space rats.
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: If you get hungry, you can eat sand. There is
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: plenty right over there where you're sitting.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Yes, Baccarati. We could eat sand. In fact, you said
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: a mouthful.
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: I can't.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: My eyes. Get Belango happy.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir. I'll take that ray gun, Baccarati.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Commander, honestly, I never would have left you here.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: I was just joking to that.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: You believe me, don't you?
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, sure, sure.
• 25:48
  Speaker 8: And that sea monster wasn't serious either. He just wanted
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: to play.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: An action preview of next week's exciting Space Patrol adventure.

  Speaker 2: where Commander Corey is being held captive by Prince Baccarati
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: and Dr.
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: Malangro.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: Baccarati glances through the gun port. Ah, you got company.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: The fool, the little fool.
• 26:59
  Speaker 8: What are you talking about, Baccarati? Coming across the clearing
• 27:03
  Speaker 8: from the jungle. It's the space patrol men.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: You're cadets.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: Happy. Watch, Cory Malingo.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: I'll take care of the cadet with this blast gun. Baccarati, don't. Look, Cory.
• 27:13
