  Speaker 2: cousin of Prince Baccarati.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Let's close in. Just a minute, Benson.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: I thought you promised to stay on Saturn. Oh, did I, Corey? Commander,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: it's Prince Makarov. Get him, Hap. All right, Malangro, use
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: your ray gun.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: That does it, Malangro. Get them aboard the ship. We'll
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: give them a one-way trip to Planet X. We'll return
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: in just a moment with.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Today's exciting space patrol adventure, The Spies from Planet X. Say, gang,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: have you met the twin space patrollers who've just moved
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: in down the block a ways? A couple of real
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: swell fellas and supercharged all the way. Well, now's your
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: chance to meet them.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Here they are. I can't choose them. I'm Space Patroller
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Tom Smith. And I'm Space Patroller Danny Smith. Man, oh, man,
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: am I seeing double. You look alike and you talk alike.
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: And we eat alike.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: We had our bite-sized checks today.
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: How about you?
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Did I have my bite-sized checks today?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Did I have a big bowl full of rice checks
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: or wheat checks? The best tasting cereals from here to
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the outer orbit of Pluto? Well, you bet I did.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I'm supercharged just like both of you. Now, Space Patroller.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Did you power up with that bite-sized Chex nourishment this morning?
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: You know, no other cereal, flake or puff, contains so
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: much nourishment in such concentrated bite-sized form. That's why Rice
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Chex and Wheat Chex are official cereals of every space.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Patroller in the universe.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: So, gang, take a tip from these supercharged twins, and
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: every day before you blast off for school or play,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: have yourself a power breakfast with.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: White-sized Rice Chex!
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: White-sized Wheat Chex!
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: Ooh!
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: And now, today's Space Patrol adventure, The Spies from Planet X.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: In recent weeks, Buzz has successfully thwarted attempts by Prince
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Baccarati to sabotage United Planet's defenses.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Space Patrol intelligence has been convinced that Prince.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Baccarati, former ruler of Neptune, was holed up in his
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: fabulous castle on the remote Planet X, recouping his strength.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: But a Space Patrol agent has reportedly seen Baccarati in
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Saturn City. In response to this report, Commander Corey and
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Cadet Happy are speeding toward the planet Saturn.
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: Commander, if that really is Baccarati, he sure got a
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: lot of nerve.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: All we know is that this man reported to be
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Baccarati has been dealing with the Zocra importing company of
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Saturn City. Zocra importing? A small outfit, practically a one-man operation.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Run by Emil Zocra. Seems to specialize in knick-knacks and
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: curios from the different planets.
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: Do you think knick-knacks would make Baccarati come all the
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: way to Planet X and risk getting caught?
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I can tell you more about that, Happy, when we
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: talk to Mr. Zandra.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: A few hours later, Buzz and Happy walk down a
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: small side street in Saturn City. Most of the shops
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: are closed for the day, except one shabby little store,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: in which a dim green light casts a weird glow
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: over shells of dusty vases, statues, and carvings. A replica
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: of an outmoded spaceship hangs above the door. On it,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: in luminous letters, are the words, Zakra Importance.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: Here we are, Hattie.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I don't see anyone inside. Maybe they're closed by the door.
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: It's open. Somebody must be in there. Let's go in.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, look at the dust. I wouldn't say business was
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: exactly booming. Anybody here? Let's try the back door.
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: Uh-oh.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: Commander, look.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: The man on the floor behind the counter. I'm still breathing.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: Maybe I.
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: Somebody's stuck under the ground. Is it Zucker? I don't know.
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: Somebody's coming to get me. I'm just hoping to.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Hold it, Baccarati. You came back to finish the job,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I suppose.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: The job? I don't know what you're talking about.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: His voice, sir. His voice is different.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: He looks like Baccarati. What's your name? I... Baccarat.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Huh?
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: I'm surprised to hear that name after all these years.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Most people know me as Vance and Thomas Vance. Are
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: you related to Prince Baccarati?
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: My cousin. Unfortunately, Family resemblance. I see.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Well, take a look behind that counter and see if
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: that man resembles anyone you know.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Hey, Doc, what's that? I thought perhaps you could tell us.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Why would I?
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: What are you doing here, Mr.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: Benson?
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: I was just busy. Were you expecting your cousin?
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: No, I should say not.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: All right, Benson. We're going to get Mr.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Zocker to a doctor, and we'll have a little talk
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: at Space Patrol Headquarters. While Cadet Haffey scans the files
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: for information on Thomas Benson, Commander Corey at Saturn City
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Headquarters questions the man who bears such a striking physical
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: resemblance to the evil Prince Baccarati. And you know absolutely
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: nothing of your cousin's whereabouts?
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: No, Commander.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: We haven't had any contact since... Well, since he was
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: forced to leave Napa, and we were.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: Never very friendly, even with birds.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: And your home is on Neptune. You're just visiting Saturn.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: It's a business trip.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: I've been here about a week.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: I've completed the check, sir.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: That'll be all, Mr. Benson, for the time being. You
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: plan to be in Saturn City for a while? Why, yes.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: Yes, I do, Commander.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I'm at the Alcor Hotel.
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: Good.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: I may want to talk to you some more. Call
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: me any time.
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: Good night, Commander.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: Good night.
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: That isn't the craziest thing. That guy's a dead ringer
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: from Baccarati, but he sounds different than I expected.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: What did you find out, Hunky?
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: Oh, uh, he's Thomas Benson, engaged in the manufacturing business
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: on Neptune. First cousin of Prince Baccarati.
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Changed his name from Baccarati to Benson. This'll kill you soon.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: At Prince Baccarati's request, he saved the family from embarrassment.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the prince didn't want to be disgraced by a
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: cousin who worked. Does Benson have any criminal records?
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, sir.
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: Spends his spare time collecting little statuettes, mercury jade, mostly.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: What about Zakra?
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Well, he'll pull through all right, sir, but he's still
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: in a coma. He hasn't got a record either.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I was hoping this cousin might be an important link
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: in Prince Baccarati's spy ring. Somehow, Baccarati manages to get
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: information to and from the United Planets and Planet X. Yeah,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and with the space at home channels being monitored the
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: way they are, and Planet X almost blocked it.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: There's a leak somewhere, Hattie. Well, it sure isn't Vincent.
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: Why, in a whole week, Vincent's space patrol guard didn't
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: see anyone get through to Vincent that didn't have copper identification.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Space patrol gone? Yes, sir.
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: Benson asked for special protection around his home in Neptune
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: City a couple weeks ago. Why did they want special protection? Well,
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: he told the Neptune City chief he'd received an anonymous threat. Well,
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: after a week, the chief figured it was just a crank,
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: and he called the patrol off.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Why didn't you mention that before? Well, gee, sir, I
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: guess I figured it wasn't important.
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: If Baccarati's cousin was spying for the prince, he wouldn't
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: ask for space patrol protection, would he?
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Or would he? Well, we're in Saturn City, Hap. I
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: think we'll keep an eye on Thomas Benson.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, far out in space, avoiding the regular space lanes,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: a space cruiser races toward Saturn. In it are Prince
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Baccarati and his scientific aide, Dr.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: Malangro. This night is excellent, Your Highness. If I hadn't
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: helped you make up, I swear I'd never recognize you.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: We'll pass the scheduled inspections. And since the space patrol
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: has no reason to suspect that I'll be on Saturn,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: we'll have no trouble. But why is your cousin Thomas
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: doesn't have the jewels with him on Saturn? Of course
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: he's got them with him. That's why he left Neptune
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: and came to Saturn to hide the jewels.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: I know those threats would worry him, and when a
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: man like my cousin is frightened, he doesn't trust his
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: own judgment from one minute to the next.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Then trying to find a safer place for the jewels,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: he practically brings them out into the open? That's right.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: He taught it would be clever to conceal millions worth
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: of jewels with a dealer in worthless junk like Zocra.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: But evidently Zocra knew nothing of the gems. I'm sure
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: your agent could have made him talk. My men bungled there.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: You should have known my cousin wouldn't trust a small
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: shopkeeper with that much treasure.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: What Thomas had in mind probably was to conceal.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: The gems in various great abracs without Dr.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: s knowledge. My agent should never have struck the doctor.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: At least, not until he was sure Thomas was complete
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: at his arrangement.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: Yes, Excellency.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Now your cousin will be frightened away. Oh, that would
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: be all right, Melania. I've got to. I need them
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: to pay off my agency.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: And to buy information, I need to keep ahead of
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Commander Corey.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Of course you will. Five minutes out of bad news today.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: He's made excellent time from Planet X, your Majesty. He
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: won't have much to spare.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Knowing Thomas, the way I do, he's probably getting ready
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: to leave Patron to look for another place to hide.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: His dreams. Commander.
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: Yes, Happy?
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: I just picked up some information about Thomas Benson. His
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: book passage on the space queen for Neptune for tonight.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: He told me he was staying here on Saturn for
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: a while. Well, let's get out to the spaceport.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: And find out why Thomas Benson is suddenly anxious to
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: return there.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: At the Saturn City spaceport, Thomas Benson nervously paces back
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: and forth in an almost deserted wing of a big
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: terminal building, unaware that two men are watching his every move.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Attention, please. The Space Queen will blast off for Neptune
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: in 20 minutes.
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: Gate 9 is now open.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Passengers are requested to board the ship immediately.
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: Just a moment, Thomas.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: What's your hurry?
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: Well, I don't believe I know you. If you don't mind,
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: I've got to get aboard. Don't you recognize your own cousin?
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: It's you. That's right.
• 11:36
  Speaker 9: Your royal relation, Prince Baccarat. Now, if you'll be good
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: enough to hand over those jewels.
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: I haven't any jewels. Now, come, come, Thomas.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: My father's death, you received quite a fortune in precious.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Gems, and I won them. But they're mine. He willed
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: them to me. He willed them to Baccarati. You have
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: renounced our noble name. You're no Baccarati. You're just plain
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Thomas Bentley.
• 12:02
  Speaker 9: Now I need those jewels to restore the name Baccarati
• 12:05
  Speaker 9: to the former lusper.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: In the solar system.
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: You're mad.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: All geniuses are considered mad by the ordinary. And the stupid.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: I can put those gems to good use now. Now
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: hand them over. You don't think I'd be carrying them
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: with me?
• 12:21
  Speaker 9: Perhaps not. You're anxious to get back to Neptune. Therefore,
• 12:26
  Speaker 9: the jewels are still there.
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: Very well.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: I'll take you to Neptune in my ship.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: No, you can't.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: You're wanted by the space patrol if they catch me.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: They won't catch me. You didn't recognize me.
• 12:38
  Speaker 9: My own cousin and Commander Torrey walked within 20 feet of.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Me while he was following you.
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: Torrey.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: Good.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: You can't possibly take me away with what I hear.
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: Then he knows who you are.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: He doesn't think you're Prince Baccarat.
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: He knows where. And if you try to support him.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: I have an idea. Get into this vacant room over there.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: We'll change clothes. And I'll remove this disguise. Hurry up! Attention, please.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Gate 9 will close in one minute.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: Passengers bound for Neptune on the space queen must board
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: the ship immediately.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: What happened to Benzie, sir? You think he's home? He
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: may have. He leaves the terminal.
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: He'll be followed.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: Come on, Benzie.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Go and see that other gate.
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: That Benzie?
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: That gate leads to the private cruiser blast off. That
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Benzie's pulling a fast one, eh? One happens to follow him, sir.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: He's heading for the big private prison. He's in the
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: shadow of this freight-loading person.
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: All right, come on.
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: Let's close in.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Just a minute, Benson. Yes? I thought you promised to
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: stay on Saturn. Step over here under the light. Anything
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: to oblige, Corey? Commander, it's Prince Baccarati. Get him, Hap.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: All right, Malenko. Use your ray gun.
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: Neatly done, Malenko.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Now, help me get Corey and the cadet aboard my ship.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: After we get the jewels, we'll give the commander a
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: one-way trip to Planet X.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: We'll return to space patrol in just a moment.
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: That was an F-86 Sabre Jet Fighter in actual combat
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: in Korea.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: I'm George Welch.
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: Chief test pilot of the Sabre Jet at North American Aviation.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: In Los Angeles.
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: The Sabre is 37 feet long, weight 8 tons.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: The wings are swept back at a 35 degree angle
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: and their span is 37 feet.
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: The top speed of the Sabre Jet is more than
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: 650 miles an hour. I was lucky enough to make
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: the first flight in the F-86 Sabre Jet. The first
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: time up for the 50th, every flight is important. That's
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: why I have to keep in top shape. I like
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: to eat good food.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: With lots of energy in it.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Rice Chex and Wheat Chex meet that test.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: And they taste exactly right.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: I think you'll like them too.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: No other cereal, puffed or flaked, contains so much nourishment
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: in such concentrated bite-sized form.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: Rice Chex.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Wheat Chex. And now back to the spies from Planet X.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Prince Baccarati donned a disguise and came to Saturn to
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: steal a fortune in precious gems from his cousin Thomas Benson,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: who totally resembled the evil prince. Thinking they were following Benson,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Monson Hattie were overpowered by Baccarati and Dr. Malangro, and
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: now are captives in the prince's private cruiser heading toward Neptune.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: In the compartment with them is their fellow prisoner, Thomas Benson.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you the truth, Commander. I was only going
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: back to Nets to protect my... Why didn't you tell
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: me that before?
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: You realize I should have told you everything, but.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: I didn't want to bring my cousin's name into it.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: You see, I've managed to live down the fact that
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: I'm a Baccarat. I wanted to avoid unpleasant bliss.
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: Someone's outside the door.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: I can only put my hands free.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: Take it easy now.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Ah, gentlemen. Are you enjoying the trip? Well, Baccarati, going
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: to a masquerade? I've resumed my disguise. You see, we'll
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: be landing on Neptune in a few minutes. After my
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: cousin gives me.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: The jewels from his vault, I shall remove my disguise
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: and return to my.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Ship as cousin Tom. You're going to leave me in
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Neptune's city, then?
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: When I have the jewels, you'll be of no further
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: use to me, cousin. Why do you need the jewels, Baccarati?
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: I understood you were rich.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: But it costs quite a bit to maintain my spy
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: system under United Planets, Commander.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: And you must admit, it's quite effective. It has been
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: so far, Baccarati. Frankly, I don't see how you'd do it.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, maintain contact between Planet X and Eurasia.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Oh, I might as well tell you, Corey, since there
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: is nothing you can do about it.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: I have a robot receiving station on Saturn's eighth moon.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Funny we haven't picked up any messages from it. Not
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: at all.
• 17:23
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: You see, there are no transmitters at the station, merely receivers.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: But what good does it do for a robot just
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: to receive messages?
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: They're recorded on tape and automatically indexed electronically for the
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: agent they're intended for.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: When your spies visit moon number eight in space, you
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: have to get their information.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: And instructions and go back to work.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: An occasional innocent-looking prospecting ship visiting the deserted moon.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Never arouses suspicion.
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: Very clever, Baccarati.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Commandant.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: Uh, now, Cousin Thomas, I'll release you. We're about to land, Corey.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: You and the cadet will remain in the ship till
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: I return.
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: Dr.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Malangro will see that you're in town.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: A few moments later, two men of almost identical size
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: and build get out of a surface car in front
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: of a handsome dwelling in Neptune City.
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: They enter the building and proceed to a large room.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Nervously, one of the men presses a button in the wall.
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: Panel slides silently.
• 18:25
  Speaker 9: You can fill up panels. Now open the case. I
• 18:29
  Speaker 9: can't remember the combination. I have a few tricks that
• 18:32
  Speaker 9: will jog your memory. Two very sensitive electronic combinations.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: Look, I'm... I don't think I can.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Just try it and quit stalling! Open it!
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: There. The jewel for that in the box.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Open it up.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: Not that I doubt your honesty, of course. Are you
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: sure this is all of them? Yes.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: I'll be running along, though, Thomas. First, I'll take the
• 19:05
  Speaker 9: precaution of using this ray gun on you. After all,
• 19:12
  Speaker 9: I couldn't have you spreading.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: An alarm till I'm safely on my way back to
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: Planet X.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Removing his disguise, Prince Baccarati boldly returns to the Neptune
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: City spaceport, boards his ship, and blasts off.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: Now, an hour later, with Dr.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Malengo at the controls and the ship headed toward Planet X,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: the prince taunts his prisoner, Commander Corrin.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: You see, Commander, everything is working fine. You're out of juice.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: What did you do with your cousin, Baccarati? Oh, he'll
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: be alright. in a few hours.
• 19:51
  Speaker 9: You know, for years I hated the idea that Thomas
• 19:54
  Speaker 9: looked like me.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: It offended my sense of individuality. Now I'm glad of it. Oh,
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: the approach warning. Something's wrong. Space patrol ship approaching at
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: two o'clock, Your Highness. What are your orders?
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: Space patrol ship? Confirmed it. Comets couldn't have put an
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: alarm in this quickly. Hurry, come out front of me.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Get moving.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Do you see.
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: It, your highness?
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Of course I see it. That's why I brought Cory
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: out here. We can use him to persuade the ship
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: not to fire on us. Excellent idea, your highness. Wait.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: That's a robot starship. That's right, Baccarati. It's sending out
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: electronic information on your position and vector. I'll fix that, Belangroth.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Use the proton gun. At once, Excellency. Hurry up. As
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: said before, it can relay our vector. Stand right where
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: you are, Corey. I got it, your Highness. Lone two fish.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Good work, Merangro. It certainly is. Now there won't be
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: any doubt that the patrol ship will come after us.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: What do you mean?
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: When that robot ship stops sending a space drone signal,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: a squadron will immediately come here to investigate.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Merangro, change our vector now. Any place but for Planet X.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: I know. That's where Saturn, Moon Number 8. I can
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: hide out there till we learn it's safe to return
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: to Planet X. Come on, Corey, back to your compartment.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: He changed vectors, huh? Where's he taking me? He wants
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: to hide out on Moon Number 8. Smart move, huh?
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: What's that in here? It's the jewel box.
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: And I'd pick it up while Baccarati was excited over
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: the space report.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: So what good are they going to do us?
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Except it'll worry Baccarati when he misses him.
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: Can't stand a kiss.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: There's a locker under that seat. See if we can
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: get it open. There's only some weapons in here.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: We can.
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: Ah, just the spacesuits.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: How many spacesuits?
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: Three.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: And here's an economy report.
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: Hey, hey, we could cut our way out of the
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: compartment and watch Baccarati and Marlena.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: They're armed.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: If we failed, it would be our last chance.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: With these spacesuits, maybe we could get out of the ship.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: I know. Through the cargo loading tube. Happy, get those
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: suits out. I'll go to work from the door with
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: the automotor. Take this space phone out of the search.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: There's no sign of the ship in the viewscope, Johannes.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: Good.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: Then we've thrown them out. We can reach moon number eight.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: We'll be in the pier.
• 22:28
  Speaker 10: Man of Chlor-A calling all space patrol units. The Neptune, Jupiter, Saturn, Saturn.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Listen, we need to call it. How did he get us?
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know. The Locker. He got into the Locker.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Those extraspaces. Come on, we've got to stop him. Fan
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: a quarry to all space patrol units. Vince Baccarati is
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: heading for Saturn Moon Number 8 in a private cruiser.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Be careful. The ship is armed with a proton gun.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: They're gone. Get out of the compartment. Your Highness, they
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: must have left the ship.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: The cargo chute.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: They've escaped. Wait. Get back to the control compartment. Hurry.
• 22:57
  Speaker 10: I'm unable to give the registry number of Baccarati's ship,
• 22:59
  Speaker 10: but it's a Class B cruiser. This vector is approximately
• 23:03
  Speaker 10: 40 degrees sun-regulus orientation.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: If something's found at Milango, he'll have every ship in
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: the universe after us. Look out the starboard viewport. There
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: they are. I knew it. They're floating along with the ship.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: What is that that Corey's called? They haven't heard him yet.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: They will soon enough. The proton gun. That will fix him. But,
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Your Highness... Get out of my way. We've got to
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: stop hurrying.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: And that proton gun will do the trick.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Your Highness will only... Attention all space patrol units. This
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: is an emergency. This will silence him. Commander Corey calling
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: all units.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: This is an emergency.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Bees without a trace.
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: Both of them.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Now, that will take care of Cory for sure. If
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: we can't continue to moon number eight, someone may have
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: hurt his face. We'll change back to it. Perhaps we
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: can proceed directly to planet X. The space patrol will be... Oh, no.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: It's an alien. The jewel. Well, where is the jewel, Bob?
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: I had it in my hand a while ago. That's
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: what I was trying to tell you. You put the
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: mirror near the control panel and I'll roll the chip
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: and tear it. My treasure. Corey had it when the
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: proton gun blew him up. My tools disintegrated. Why didn't
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: you warn me? You're a idiot. I have to think
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: of everything around here. Now what are we going to do?
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: You won't need those tools now, Baccarati. Corey. Take care
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: of Malingo, Happy. Yes, sir. All right, Baccarati. Are you
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: going to be sensible, or can I fix it so
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: nobody will mistake you for your cousin? I've had enough.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: I said you were in those spacesuits. Sure you did.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: I didn't want you searching the ship for the spacephone
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: I was really using, so I used two suits as decoys.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: We're heading for moon number eight. You're going to show
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: me that robot receiving station, Baccarati.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: A few hours later, Buzz sets Baccarati's cruisers down on
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: the rocky surface of Saturn's moon number eight. Then he
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: and Happy hold ray guns on Malangro and Baccarati as
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: the four men clad in spacesuits step out on the
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Ilo Saturn.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Keep moving, Baccarati.
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: Man at the foot of this big cliff, Corey.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: You and Malangro go first. Watch your step, Happy. That's
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: quite a drop. Move along, Malingro.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: You're in my way.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: You're right. On your right, grab Malingro. He's falling. Grab
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: that ledge. He's got it, sir. All right. Study now, Malingro.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: I've got pull with your arm.
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: Hang on to me.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
• 25:36
  Speaker 9: All right, now.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Pull. I've got you, sir. Now, just relax, Malingro. You're
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: all right. There.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: That was close.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Sorry, mess, Malingro. So, watch it next time.
• 25:50
  Speaker 10: It looked to me as though Baccarati pushed Malangro instead
• 25:53
  Speaker 10: of trying to help him.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Where is Baccarati? He's gone. I forgot all about him.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Trying to save Malangro. He's timed up and headed for
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: the ship. You watch Malangro. I'll go up after him.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: We're too late.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: There he goes. Get that.
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: Baccarati's willing to kill this guy to make a getaway,
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: and Malangro says, good luck.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: I have an idea. Baccarati won't get very far. Space
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: patrol ships will be showing up pretty quick. Commander, the
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: proton gun.
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: Baccarati can blast us to bits.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Not without the proton firing cell.
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: Huh?
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: I removed it from the gun right after the fight.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: I took that along with the jewels. Oh, boy, that
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: sure saved our lives.
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: Come on.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: Let's get down to the receiving station. With that information,
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: we can round up Baccarati's spies in a few hours.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: An action preview of next week's exciting adventure in just
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: a moment.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Hi, Space Patrollers. It's the day of the big parade
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: on Terra. And just about every space patroller and his
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: little brother have turned out to watch the fun. Man,
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: it sure is a swell parade. Hey, wait a minute.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: What's that coming down the street now? Why, it's the
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Space Patrollers Drama Bugle Tour number five. All the way
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: from Venus City, Venus.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Now, just listen to those supercharged bugles and hear those
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: supercharged drums. One thing for sure, these space patrollers have
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: their bite-sized checks today. And how about you guys? You know,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: the best way in the universe to start off the
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: day is with a big bowl full of bite-sized dice
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: checks or wheat checks. because no other cereal, plate, or
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: pot contains so much energy in such concentrated bite-sized forms. Yes, sir,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: you're packing in plenty of vitamins and minerals with every
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: delicious bite you take, and that means energy plus for you.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: And remember, Space Reporters, September is Better Breakfast Month. Getting
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: a good, big breakfast every morning.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Is important because you haven't had anything to eat for
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: hours and hours.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: So before you march off with the day, have yourself
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: a better breakfast.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: A real Space Patrol breakfast with.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Nice checks or weak checks.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: And now, a preview of next week's exciting Space Patrol adventure.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Buzz and Happy have trapped one of Prince Baccarati's spies
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: in a sub-basement in Jupiter City.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: It's no use, Happy. We can never break it down.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: That's right, Cory. You can't escape. Sirkin's coming for my
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: speaker up there. Sirkin, listen to me. You listen to me.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: I'm getting off this planet, Cory. Prince Baccarati tipped me
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: off that a guided missile has been launched toward Jupiter City.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: There's nothing you can do to stop it.
