 beatles weeping down upon the underworld to smash ganglin comes the mysterious all-powerful character who is a problem to the police but a crusader for law in reality Dan Garrett a rookie patrolman loved by everyone but suspected by none of being the blue beetle as the blue beetle he hides behind a strange mask and a suit of intendable blue chain armor flexible but stronger than steel phase episode of the fox feature the blue beetle is entitled sabotage incorporated throughout the country foreign spies and saboteurs are busy trying to prevent the shipment of war munitions to countries with whom their native country is at war near York City is located explosives incorporated one of the largest manufacturers of munitions in the country every night trainloads of munitions leave their factory for some secret destination as our story opens officer managan and patrolman Dan Garrett who is really the blue beetle are investigating a mysterious telephone call from Wentworth B. Charles president of explosives incorporated who lives at the Monaco apartment well here we are in a charged apartment push to the button body answer let's break in the dark now we'd better call the superintendent he'll have a past key something wrong officer who are you I'm the superintendent of this building oh well we got a mysterious telephone called from mr. Charles but she didn't finish it was of such a nature that we felt it necessary to make an investigation he doesn't answer his bell or our knocking well I have a past key here I'll unlock the door something holding the door shut come on and we'll break it in no no wait I'll telephone the owner of the apartment house he'll know we can't wait for that just come on Danny let's break in the door all right here we go all right there's nobody here what can the bedroom there okay I have a look I hope nothing happened to mr. Charles he's one of our best penance hey Danny look here's mr. charge any what is it Mike dead I think so look there over his heart a wound yeah break through his pajamas a 22 bullets I bet huh no it's a stab wound that's mr. Charles all right is he dead yes who could have done it that's what the police would like to know that's what we have to find out I don't see any weapon but for a nice pick or a thin stiletto okay I'll have a look around the apartment hadn't I better telephone the owner of the building not yet and don't leave the apartment yes but whose apartment adjoined this on the bedroom side professor of Vladimir Dennis cubes what's his business I believe he lectures on anthropology as he live alone he has a male secretary who lives with him I believe who lives on the other side next to the living room well that apartment is vacant did mr. Charles live alone yes apparently mr. Charles was killed while he was phoning the receiver is still off the hook there and his body is lying in front of a telephone table it looks that way I can't find any sign of a dagger or ice pick anywhere there's an electric ice box in the kitchen so I don't think mr. Charles would be needing an ice pick himself what about the windows there are locks any fire escape no it's a 14-story drop to the street on our sides how many floors above this superintendent 15 any other entrances to this apartment only a service door in the kitchen yeah I looked at that it's locked and border from the inside and there's no knob on the outside of the dog well Mike you better phone the coroner I'll just have a look around the apartment then I'd like to question the professor and his secretary maybe they can throw some light on this case good evening professor evening what can I do for you this officer would like to ask you some questions there's been some trouble next door and the police are interested in getting some information won't you come in please thanks what is it you would like to know officer I am sure I cannot be of any assistance to you hear any commotion or unusual noise tonight in Mr. Charles apartment all nothing in fact I've been so busy with my studies that I thought that I would have heard any noise coming from anywhere when I am doing my research work I concentrate very deeply do you have any children professor I am not mad at that gun there you use that in your research that belongs to my secretary he is off tonight he bought it for his little boy it is an air rifle hardly strong enough to what I mean it has the appearance of a real gun but it would be no good for hunting game other than small birds I assure you here have a look yes I can see you're right I presume a BB shot from this air rifle would hardly have enough force behind it to kill a man kill a man has someone been killed yes professor Mr. Charles your next door neighbor was murdered less than an hour ago you know Danny this case is very very puzzling very dark but the blue beat was going to solve the puzzle how I'm going to revisit the Charles apartment alone do a little private investigating Danny what do you think is back of this murder sabotage of some sort I'm positive it has something to do with a train of munitions and guns being shipped to Canada be careful Danny boy if your suspicions are correct you'll run into a ruthless gang of murderers I know that the blue beetle can handle them have you everything you need mm-hmm this blue beetle chain armor and mask my magic ray and spotlight are all I'll need tonight I'm traveling light because I've got to travel fast the blue beetle is going to solve a murder and strike a blow for humanity the body's been removed nothing else has been disturbed in the bedroom here that picture on the wall there facing a spot where Charles was sitting when he was killed it doesn't hang straight I'll have a look a hole in the wall back of the picture just large enough for a rifle barrel and to hear conversation now here here is the railroad map the munitions train will approach a bridge to Canada over the gorge along this track here yeah now our major plan is to blow up the bridge as the munitions train is passing over but if for some reason our men are unable to place the charge of explosives under the bridge our ultimate plan is to wreck the train and block the entrance in the entire road as well as destroy the munitions aboard the train well how will we know in advance which plan to follow I'm expecting a call any minute from our leaders at Rosno near the border then as soon as you get word I'll be on my way yes your job is to take care of any guards at the American side of the bridge yes I understand this will take care of them oh the air pistol it shoots glass pellets filled with suffocating gas yeah it makes very little noise we're very shot with it remains unconscious for a long long time oh boy now there are two planes tuned up and waiting out of the library a field you take one of them all right and you're sure no one suspects our plot positive positive I liquidated Charles before he could telephone the police what about money here here is a thousand dollars for expenses okay when the job is done there'll be plenty more where this came from good hello yes what yes yes we're ready at this end wait here's your car now just a minute I'll ask him well what about it Igor munitions trainees loading will pull up for Canada in 10 minutes hello Ronaldo Igor informs me that the train will pull out in 10 minutes yes all right everything is moving smoothly we'll be with you soon good bye what's that I can imagine what they're going to be yes the blue beetle and he's going to nip you have an ingenious method of entering Mr. Blue Beetle did you buy any chance fly to my window and just what do you want I overheard your whole plot from the next apartment and crawled along the ledge outside the window and he knows everything and I'm going to turn you over to the police all of you get away from that phone professor or I'll burn you with my magic ray oh no you won't blue beetle because you won't be able to put down that gun there that'll fix Mr. Blue Beetle let's get out of here the gas is making me sick and what about the blue beetle you tie him up and take him down to the freight yard and put him aboard the munition train the blue beetle will have a rude awakening some time in the early morning hours what will happen to the blue beetle now how soon will he recover from the effects of the suffocating gas can he save the shipment of munitions to Canada from destruction which plan will the saboteurs put into effect these questions will be answered in the next episode of the blue beetle a righted box feature appearing in mystery
