over the base stella is a prisoner you are flying into a trap inside of the rocket ship mark shouts to the pirates change course we'll land at the underground hangar and a few minutes later the pirates rocket and the captured cargo craft approach the protected hideout huge doors swing open automatically and the rocket ships glide in and land underground then the doors sign at the close behind them completely hiding the ships mark has evolved the plan to deal with flash he says through tight lips gordon's waiting to ambush us well we'll see who gets ambushed flash was going to capture everybody one of the outlaws has to warn mark yes and now mark and his ship are safe and what's more mark's got a plan now where he thinks he can beat flash i wonder whether we can well that's

surface that bucket is your new hat dick get under it fast mine will be down in a second bowie cuts the rope and the other bucket which is now hanging by the pulley at the top of the well comes plunging down quickly bowie and dick pulled the buckets over their heads and then stand quietly in the water a second later the soldiers who have been following them come to the well they look down and see the two buckets floating on the water below the captain mutters it is an abandon well see there are the two buckets floating at the bottom let us search for those rascals elsewhere yes and by putting the buckets over their heads they couldn't be seen by anybody that bowie is a very smart man yes well that's a trick we'll have to wait until next week to find out now look below dick's adventures there's rusty riley oh yes and mr duly had given rusty a job there to take care of the horses yes and rusty arrived at the farm expecting to find a nice old lady but instead he found a woman who was rather young who was pretending to be mrs duly and a man named mel who says he's the hired man and there are two people there who are up to something crooked i know yes those two people are crooked when rusty came out to the barn to find the horses he found there was no oats and that the horses hadn't been fed for a long time and that's a very cruel animals up and not give them any feed because after all they can't help themselves no they can't i wonder who those two people are would treat animals that way let's do it let's read now and see if we can get any idea of that here we go with rusty riley gallop and run till the road is dusty give us music for his horse and rusty mel the man who is pretending to be the hired man is in the house talking to the girl named tricksy i told you those horses would have to have oats they look like they're ready for the glue factory suppose that kid tells duly the girl starts writing a check saying all right send him down to the feed store with this check and tell him to bring back the change we don't want him writing to duly yet in two weeks we'll have the old gal clean as a pluck goose then he can squawk his head off a few minutes later mel comes out to the barn he finds rusty taking the horses out to water them mel says oh here rusty miss duly says to take this check to the feed store and honey hollow get a bag of oats

miss duly is sick and he says she's real old over 70 mel answers oh the old goat's got her mixed up with somebody else rusty forget it and unload that feed last picture mel is in the house again talking to trixie now listen trixie i think the kid's getting too curious those yokels in town have been asking about the old lady and you don't look like no grandma trixie takes off her glasses and says i was afraid of that well mel the time has come to take care of the old lady and clear out rusty got that feed now the horses will be fed and taken care of kindly yes they will and now rusty learns something from the man in the store that might make him suspicious enough to talk to the police yes you never know i hope it works because that girl trixie said they'd have to take care of the old lady and that means they'll be doing something terrible chore well maybe we'll find out about that next week now it's time for dagwood and blondie and here's the intersection of puck the comedy

minutes later dagwood is on the sofa taking his nap and he dreams that he's chopping down a tree a tree that's called the high cost of living last picture third row tootsie woodley looks out of the window of her house and then she turns to blondie who is visiting her and exclaims blondie look at the smoke pouring from your kitchen first picture bottom row blondie in the fire department dashed through the living room with the bumpster house dagwood wakes up and exclaims hey what's all the excitement they all dash out into the kitchen and then they all stop for there they see the cloud of smoke is coming from the top of the stove and the fire chief says hey what's that it's the dollar dinner burnt black and last picture the whole family is in a restaurant downtown and blondie is saying to the waiter i'll have a tenderloin steak and cookie says yes i'll have steak too and alexander says i'll have chicken and as dagwood thinks of all the money this dinner is going to cost him it grinds his teeth in anger yes it was that was a mighty expensive nap that he took yes that was a mighty expensive nap that he took next time you better let blondie try to prepare that dollar dinner he expects to save any money yes well now i'm sure that you want to read roi roger oh you know i do very well turn over the page go past the lone ranger turn over page three and here we are on page four with roi roger and you remember roi was on his way to see scarecrow katie that's that nice old man who likes birds yes he was going to tell katie that he's in danger speak those cattlemen they're trying to drag the farmers out of the country and they had caused a lot of damage to the home of the trends those are the leaders of the farmers yes and one of the cattlemen was dressed like scarecrow katie and the trends think that katie is the leader of the cattlemen and as roi was coming right near to katie's place he sent a train falcon after roi yes and the bird flew straight at roi and started to die for his eyes i wouldn't you feel hurt roi well let's read now and find out here we go with roi rogers hi yuppie oh now here we go with roi and trigger hi yuppie oh roi and katie's daughter aureal approach katie's hiding place but the bird that katie had sent for roi dives straight for him now get away now will you hit beat it hey hop trigger thinking quickly roi heads for the river nearby trigger leaps in the water and roi dives underneath where the bird can't reach him when roi emerges he sees old man katie running toward them the old man calls to the falcon well here stop it black lady come here come here that's my friend hey gosh roi i'm sorry roi comes out of the water and says to katie well say if this is the way you welcome friends i'd hate to be an enemy katie phew last picture top row the three of them head for katie shack aureal tells her father that the farmers think that he has led the raid on the trend farm and killed all of trans animals why they're local aureal i've been here with my birds all the time they come on inside and get dry rogers first picture bottom row they go inside the cabin then i look katie you're being used as a scapegoat ranchers must masquerade as you in these attacks on the homestead is yeah but the ranchers are my friends roi snapper Sloan even found this place for me to hide out a short time later snapper Sloan one of the ranchers who had led the raid on the trend farm dressed in scarecrow katie's clothes is on the trail heading for katie's hide out hurry up beat we gotta make sure scarecrow katie ain't caught by that posse and nesters they know he's hiding somewhere in these woods yeah if they string him up you got nobody to blame the rage on a few minutes later roi comes out of katie shack he is saying to katie you know katie the fact that Sloan your rancher pal wants you to stay under cover looks mighty suspicious to me i reckon i'll have a little talk with him at that moment snapper Sloan has dismounted and is just coming around the corner of the cabin he hears what roi says he steps out last picture holding a gun on roi says oh i start spilling cowboy and it better be good katie exclaims snapper Sloan katie called off that bird before roi came up from under the water yes that saved roi from being scratched up yes but now what's gonna happen now that snapper Sloan heard what roi said it looks mighty dangerous because what roi has just said is for snapper Sloan to come out on the open and it looks like a showdown between Sloan and his cattlemen and roi and old man katie wonder what'll happen well we'll find that out next week now that's all the time i have but before i go here's that nice fellow with some more interesting information while honey and all you
