  Speaker 5: The fate of the Solar System lies in the hands
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: of that fiend, Marston and our friend Slats.

  Speaker 4: If something isn't done, the planets will be plunged into
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: a war that will destroy civilization.

  Speaker 5: We can imagine the weapons that have been developed, bombs
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: that can wipe out a sun, tractor beams that can
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: pry a planet out of its orbit, rays that can
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: reduce one hundred miles of living Earth to a desert
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: in seconds.
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: Only we could get out of here.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: Maybe we could contact the Martian underground and do something
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: that doesn't seem to be away. I'm afraid not, Pet, Say,
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: what's that on the floor. It's a small bottle. Look,
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: there's a note written on the paper was wrapped in.
• 2:09
  Speaker 7: What does it say?
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: Who could have put it here?
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: Well, I can't believe it. It's from Slats, and it says,
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: don't worry. Everything is going to work out. The bottle
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: has a scent that will stun the Marlons as soon
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: as they're knocked out.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Run to the door of the arena.
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: A guide will.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Meet you there and lead you to safety. Keep a
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: stiff upper lip.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: Well, I understand everything, except that part about my lip
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: is that coat or something?
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: No, Dan, tro that's just Earth's slang, and it means
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: to have courage.
• 2:39
  Speaker 8: Oh, that's Slats.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: I knew he wouldn't sell out to a madman like Marston.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: Don't build up your hopes, Pet, We're not out yet.
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: We've got a long ways to go, but we've got
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: to get out.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: We've got to.
• 3:00
  Speaker 8: Well, Earth Man, what do you think of my little show?
• 3:03
  Speaker 8: Do you have anything on Earth to match it?
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Look at those mar Lions.
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: They'll teach that planet Man, Dantro and the Earth Girl
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: to leave Marston alone.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: You mean pee wee me.
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: You're really going to turn those.
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: Beasts loose down the people, not on people, just on
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: my enemies gods.
• 3:21
  Speaker 8: Bringing Dantrow on the Earth Girl, you're really going to do?
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: Of course, you did not think Marston made empty threats,
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: did you.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: If so, you're due for a surprise. I'm not the
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: only one. What did you say? I was thinking about Dantro?
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: Well, he hasn't much more time to live. Here they
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: come now?
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: Well here we.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: Are pat ready to give Marston and his stupid puppets
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: their biggest show.
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: This is going to be a tricky one.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Pattern.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: You'll have to wait until the Marlins were almost upon us,
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: and then spill the liquid in this bottle under the
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: sand at our feet.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: It evaporates and becomes a gas.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: Almost immediately, But if we move too quickly, it will
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: blow away before it can affect them.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: Our timing must be just right.
• 4:09
  Speaker 8: Look they're opening the gate at the other end of
• 4:11
  Speaker 8: the arena. You come to Marlines.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Oh damn, what horrible looking beasts.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Remember what Slats said, Pat, keep a stiff upper lip.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: Stand here next to me.
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: They haven't seen us yet, but they will any second,
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: and then they'll charge.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Ready, I'm ready.
• 4:27
  Speaker 8: There the door was supposed to go to. I hope
• 4:29
  Speaker 8: there's no slip up.
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: Look out here they come.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: It will be all over in a minute.
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: By friendly. I hope you're enjoying this as much as
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: I am. I've waited to get planet manned for years.
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: I've dreamed about it at night, and now I have him.
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: Look, the Marlines is stopping.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: They're lying down.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Something has gone wrong. Someone has helped him.
• 5:01
  Speaker 8: No, I must not.
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: Escape fIF I write it too wrong for this.
• 5:04
  Speaker 8: They're getting away, cut cart.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: Just wait, all right, they'll be after us any minute.
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: Who's going down this tunnel. There'll be someone waiting at
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: the end.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Don't worry about me.
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: I'm with you. Turn hither right behind us. Should be
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: right at this time. Something must have gone wrong. We
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: have no time to look for him. Come on, Pat,
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: you know where we're going. What's the difference.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: As long as we get away, they catch us again,
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: they won't bother with Marlons.
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: They'll write us down on our tracks.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Put that up ahead.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: It is Pat, that's the jungle that surrounds this palace.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: Who let's head for it. They'll never find us stay there.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: But we maybe worshed off in that jungle, and we
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: were in the arena.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: There are things out there that even the Marlon's here,
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: there's nothing else we can do.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: I'm on Pat.
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: Out we go.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: The moment.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: It appears that Danto and Pat have escaped from Marstelli.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Now they face the unknown of the celestial world, the
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: fearful jungle of Mars. We'll be back in the moment,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: So level off. When we left Danto and Pat, they
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: were heading into the Martian jungle.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: This area of Mars.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Is one of the most feared places in the Solar System.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Its dangers and mysteries have brought death to many an adventure.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: At this moment, the entire planet of Mars is in
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: a state of extreme tension.
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: Everyone is in fear.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Of his life because Marston is determined to seek out
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: the one person who planned the escape of Dantu and
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: pat from certain.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Death in the Marlan Arena.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: As we look into the chamber of Marston, we hear
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: his mad tirade as he attempts to find the one
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: who betrayed him.
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: I have brought you here because one of you has
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: betrayed me. I'm going to find out who it was,
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: and then I'll show you what happens to those who
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: served me badly.
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: It must have been one of you, Gods. No one
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: else had a chance to reach them in the dungeon.
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: No one else not. Wait a moment, there was one other,
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: that earth Man Slats.
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: It could have been Slats.
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: I was suspicious when he insisted on being taken to them.
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: Bring him here. Bring the earth Man here.
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: For me, Yes, traitor, I am looking for you. See him, Fema,
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: that is the one.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: What are you talking about.
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: I'm talking about the bottle you gave the planet man
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: on the Earth girl when we saw them in the dungeon.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Biddle, what bottle? You're making a mistake?
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: Do pretend ignorance. You don't fool me for a minute.
• 7:50
  Speaker 8: God, tie him to the table, tyhim well.
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: I want to watch him when he squirms under the
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: nerve whip it's a nerve where the nerve whip flays
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: every nerve in the body. But you will have the
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: pleasure of learning that for yourself. Enough conversation. Give him
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: a taste of the witnes. We've just captured one of
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: the underground. He must have been the one who helped
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: the prisoners. He was hiding in the tunnel under the arena.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Bring him in.
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: We will soon find out Untie the ropes there. But
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: don't let the earth man get out of your sight.
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: I still suspect him of some trickery. Now for you,
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: who helped in this, speak up.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Seems to be something wrong with him. It was all
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: right who he brought him in here, I'm on the table.
• 8:41
  Speaker 8: Put him on the table. Give him a nerve whip
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: that will wake him up.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Oh we'll do no good, Marston. He's dead, dead dead.
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: How can he be dead?
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: I must know who his accountlie was.
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: I tell you he must not be dead.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: It is useless.
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: Here is the vial of poison he had hidden on
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: He can do you no, get out, get up, all
• 9:03
  Speaker 8: of you.
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: I will do it alone, always alone. I can trust
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: no one, depend on no one. I will conquer the
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: Solar system alone.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: Stay close to me, Pat, What child?
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: What a strange looking hole?
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: Did some animal make it?
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: Oh? I don't know what you'd pull it back on earth?
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: A cross between an animal and an insect, and as
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: glands that make a liquid which dissolves almost anything it touches.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: We call them Slogs may be known to eat right
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: through the foundations of an entire city.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: Do they attack people?
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: Not unless they're cornered.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: But if you were to step or fall into one's
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: then it would spray you with its deadly fluid before
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: you could move.
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: That's a pleasant thought.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: That's why I told you that we might be safer
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: with the marlins, the beasts in this jungle that have
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: never been captured.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: But no one ever.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: Tries, No one's ever been through here.
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: Where are we going? The only chance is to get
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: through to a.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Clearing somewhere is do you know the way? I think
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: I do, but I'm not sure.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: When we flew over the jungle on the way here,
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: I saw such a clearing, I memorized its position.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: I hope I'm right. We haven't much time.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: We aren't being followed by markis men anymore. What do
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: you mean it's not Marston's men I'm worried about. It's
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: the Martian mindless men. I fear mindless man. That's right, Pat,
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: mindless men. They're outcasts from the mines.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: Here on Mars.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: There's a priceless metal, but in its rostatic gives off
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: funes that destroy men's minds, as dug by slaves of
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: Marston who had thrown into the jungle. When they've been
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: driven mindless, become like insane beasts, and they hunt in packs.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: Even the Marlions fear their fury if wherever attacked by them.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: I'm afraid we'll never escape.
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: Can't we go any pastor we'll try?
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: This is Marston receiving on secret channel five. Q. What
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: if I Professor Darrow, have you convinced him to join us?
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: No, we'll kidnap the children, bring them.
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: Here with them in our hands. Professor Darrow will sing
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: a different tune. Get them here by tomorrow, and do.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Not fail me.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Will Marston's plan to kidnap Billy and James succeed? What
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: is happening to Dantro and Pat in the darkest jungle
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: of Mars. We'll return in a moment, But first, here
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: is a message that the planet man wants you to hear.
