In today's episode of That's the Midnight, we delve into the importance of using the right motor oil for your car, especially during the cold winter months. We discuss how stiff and heavy oil can cause significant damage to your motor, leading to costly repairs. The solution? Switching to a fast-flowing, winter-specific oil like Kelly Tagoline Motor Oil, which ensures proper lubrication from the get-go and stands up to high driving heat.

We then transition to the thrilling adventures of Captain Midnight. After Chuck's birthday party, Captain Midnight and Chuck find themselves in a precarious situation when they are held up by a mysterious bandit. The bandit's primary target? Captain Midnight's watch, which luckily wasn't with him at the time. This leads to a discussion about the true motive behind the robbery.

As the story unfolds, Captain Midnight, Chuck, Steve Donovan, and Fred Boyd gather to plan their next move. They prepare for an aerial mapping mission to locate Chuck's hideout, discussing the intricacies of aerial photography and the importance of detailed maps. The episode culminates in a tense moment as they prepare to land their plane in a challenging terrain, only to discover they are being shadowed by one of Ivan Shark's planes. What will happen next? Tune in to find out!

The   That's the Midnight, brought to you every day, Monday through Friday at this same time by the Skelly Oil Company, Skelly Gobbers, and Dealers.   See how does your motor sound when you try to start it on these costly mornings.   Does it sometimes sound like this?   If your motor sounds like that, look out. For that slow heavy grinding is possibly caused from oil full stiff and heavy, it acts like glue in your motor,   creating a tremendous drag on moving parts.   This makes your car hard to start, of course, but much more serious, that stiff oil doesn't get up into your motor fast enough to lubricate properly.   Now it's a known fact that more wear is put on your motor during a dry start than you'll probably put on your motor during a whole day of driving.  

Before long, you may have a ruined motor and a big repair bill to pay.   Now fortunately,   there's a simple easy way to avoid this.   Change to a wetter oil that's fast flowing,   fast flowing enough to get up into that motor and lubricate it right from the word go, and stand up after subjected to a high driving heat. Now I'll tell you an oil that will lubricate your motor safely during these cold winter months. That's Kelly tagoline motor oil. You see, Kelly tagoline flows exceptionally freely at low temperatures.   It jets up there fast, and its tough protecting film guards against that metal to metal contact that breaks motors down.  

If your motor's been grinding slowly on the start, you'll probably find it's turned faster and smoother the moment you put in Kelly Tagoline winter motor oil.   So drive in at Kelly's red, white, and blue sign. Fill up with Kelly tagoline motor oil today.   The boys at every Kelly station   know just the right weight for your car. And if your radiator hasn't been perfected for weather, they have a real antifreeze for you. And say you boys and girls who are listening, tell dad about Kelly's tangerine winter oil, won't you? He'll be glad. He'll probably visit a Kelly station soon. And while you're there, you can join the captain Midnight flight patrol, and the Skelly Man will send in for your free mister magic weather forecast of ash.   And now for captain Midnight.  

Last time you remember,   captain Midnight and Chuck took a walk after Chuck's birthday party.   Then they were held up, and the mysterious bandit asked for captain Midnight's watch.   Well, this would have identified Red Roberts as captain Midnight.   Luckily,   captain Midnight did not have his watch with him.   It is now early the following morning, and captain Midnight, Chuck, Steve Donovan, and Fred Boyd are gathered together in Boyd's office at 7 g headquarters on Black Ghost Steel. Steve is speaking.   Great guns, Fred. So you and Chuck were held up within 400 yards of the house. That's right, Steve. Things have come to a pretty fast when you can't go for a walk outside your home without being robbed. There's more to this than just the robbery, Fred. Oh, they took all the Reg's money, even 1 of his watch. Seems Marty put out 1. They couldn't find it. Didn't say, Ed. Yes. Mighty put out. That's just the point. Well, it's it's your lucky break. You found out that your watch had gone haywire and that you'd given it to me to take down to the jewelers. Extremely lucky, friend. You mean the robbery was just, blind for something else then? That's exactly what I mean. Then the whole purpose of the holdup was to get your watch and all the time I had it. You have it for that matter, which is a lucky break for all of us. A very lucky break. Well, I'll take it down to the jewelers. It'll be safe there. Good. Steve, did you locate that aerial camera? Oh, yes. I did, Red. I put it in the baggage compartment in the plane. How about film? Oh, there's enough film to make a map of the whole Rocky Mountains. 12. Now then, let's go over our plans before we take off. Fred, you'll be here at Black Dodge Field. Steve, Chuck, and I will fly straight to the mine. The moment we get there, we'll install the camera in the Bonanza plane we rented. Then Chuck and I will take off on our trip to try to photograph Chuck's hideout. Gee, I hope everything works out okay. Steve here will stay at the mine. If you wanna communicate with me by radio, Fred, you'll be able to while we're flying our own plane and while we're at the mine, but not after we take off in the rented plane. Okay. I understand. How long do you think it'll take for you and Chuck to get those pictures? A little over an hour if nothing goes wrong. Well, it's, only 8 o'clock now. If you don't have any trouble. You should be back here about noon. That's what I'm hoping. Now then 1 thing more.   Is there a photographic studio in town?  

Yeah. But you can call it a studio. Yeah.   He, does his own developing, doesn't he? Yeah. Fine. I want you to make arrangements with him to develop this film for us. I will. We get back at noon and take the film to him right away. He can have prints ready for us by the season. Oh, then we'll have our area map. Do you all the back in swelch? Yeah. I don't see how a map's going to show where shark hideout is. Well, wait till you see the map, Fred, and you'll get a better idea. Have you ever looked at a detailed aerial map, Fred? Well,   no. I I guess I haven't. Well, you'll be amazed to see the detail that's shown in a good aerial picture.  

For example, you can see a telephone line. Why yours? Do you mean to say you can see the wires?   Well, no. That's going a bit too strong. But you can tell it by the shadow to the poles and the pile of dirt near the base of each pole. Gosh. I never saw that. Why, sure. During the war, they got to the place where they could discover lots of things like that. During the French fighting, they often buried cables leading back from listening to it. You could even tell where these cables were by the line of disturbed earth over them. Hey. They're running up the engines. That's right. We might get started. Well, we can talk about pictures when we get back. Steve, Chuck, I guess we better be on our way. I'm all sent   Say, Red, I'm going into the hangar a minute. I'll meet you at the ship. Right, George, Steve?  



[00:06:11] Unknown:

Hey, Red. I've been thinking.  

[00:06:13] Unknown:

Quiet again, sir. Oh, no kidding. Red,   Would you know that you ever heard it again? Absolutely. Why?   What are you getting at? Well, Red, I think I heard that fellow's voice before.   You have? Yes. I'm almost positive I have. You know, I thought maybe I did too. Now I know I'm on the right path.   Tell me. Do you know who it was? Josh, and I've been trying to figure it out. I know I've heard that voice before, but it just can't place it. But if I ever hear that voice again, I'll know it right away. I think we both will. I'm sure of it, Chuck. Well,   look who's here. Well, hammer me down. This is my old pal Chuck win. Oh, hi there, Ichabod. You know Red Roberts, don't you? Well, grandma avails, of course. Yes. I do. How are you this morning, Robert? Good morning, bud. How do you like your job by this time? Just fine. Just fine. I like my job. Well,   which reminds me I ain't paying young Ramsey here for putting me on. Enjoyed it. Ah, guys. People are desperate to tell you about it. Hey. By the way, Mud, do you know how to fly? Do I know how to fly?  

Why just put me at the controls, Watson? See?   Why I can handle this ship better than any auto pilot you ever saw. We'll have   talker, just give me a chance, Watts, and you'll see plan what's never been seen before.   Say, I see Steve Steve Donovan putting the camera into the plane.   Now I worked on an aerial mapping job, Martin. If you want any help along that line, why you just call on Ichabod   Martin? What kind of work did you do? Oh, I installed the cameras and loaded and unloaded them.   Well, that's old stuff to me. Or would you like to help on an installation job this morning? Well, loo doo doo. Lead me to it. You get into that Falcon. We'll be with you in a second. Would I like to handle a camera here? I swear by, and I told you, oh, what a guy. Yes. And if he can do half what he says he can, he'll be a lot of help. Oh, here comes Steve again. Well, we're all ready. Okay, boys. We're all set. Steve, we're, taking this new mechanic model off. Says you know it's all about an aerial camera. Well, that's fine. We can sure use some help. Where is he? Or he's in a ship, please. Oh, 12. Come on then. Let's pilot it. Alright.   Jump in, Chuck. Okay. After you, red. Right. I'll close that door.  

Hey. Look. Smudge in the pilot seat. Well, hell me down. Don't you want an a number 1 pilot to do it a flying? Did you test this motor, Martin?   Sure. She's turning like a sewing machine. Well, I'll rev it up once more for safety, Steve.   Here, 109 failure? She's running fine. Alright, Judge. Ready to take her off? On set, baby. Give me the gun.   After a short flight, captain Midnight and his friends are near their destination.   Well, boys, we're almost there. Oh, I remember, Pete. Just over that bridge. What about it, Chuck? Do you think you can land the ship alright? Sure. I think so, Rich. That's right. Well, hammer me down. I don't see no place to land. There it is mud right down there. Don't you see it? Sure. I see the mining camp when I see it stretch the ground about as thick as the counter and mud out of his restaurant.   Hey. You're not gonna try to take this plane down there, are you? Of course we are, Ichabod. What did you think we came up here for? Woah. I'm Maribel.  



[00:09:47] Unknown:

I thought you said you were a pilot, man. So you shouldn't be scared. Well, sure. I'm a pilot, but I didn't calculate on anybody landing the ship that somebody's missed call. Watch it now, doctor. It's gonna shock to Clyde. Just getting ready for now, Rhett.  

[00:10:00] Unknown:

This is a ticklish place to get into, Chuck. So watch your step. I will.   Any guy that could get in and out of here will take and land in the cellar and then fly out again. It'll be a good test of your ability, Chuck. Which way you can land, Chuck? I figured I'd land on the runway from north to south. That's right. But you're headed west right now. Yeah. Here's how I thought I'd do it. I'll keep in my drive straight ahead until I'm about 50 feet off the ground. Then I'll turn to the left, side slipping as I turn, then I'll set it down. Good work, Chuck. You know more about flying than I thought. Oh, Steve's taught me all I know. He says that the only way to get into a small field is by side flipping. Jumping to half of it, Chuck. I don't think you're gonna make it. Yes. I am. Watch this side flip,   Start getting your tail now, Chuck. If your wheels don't touch at the edge of the runway, Chuck, you're going to Oh, I'll make it. I'll make it. Here goes the flat down. Oversteady. Hey, we'll overshoot and pull down that mountain, Skye. Is your shirt on, bud? And stuff   cc. Hold tight, kick on the brakes.  

Oh, 0, Dave. Plan worked, sir. Now turn around and taxi over around in front of the office. Thanks a lot.   Liked to fly it, come on. Yeah. I do, but   I'm sure glad that he's back in the ground again. Oh, brother. Cut someone out of the office to meet us. It looks like mister Carson, the mine man.   That's who it is. Alright.   Well, here we are, fellas. Can I cut the motor? No, Chuck. Shut the gas off and let it die gradually. That's always easier on the end. Okay, Rick.   Gas is off. Hey. What's tomorrow with that guy Carson?   Something's wrong with him at that.  

Look, he's pointing up at the sky. Well, clean my carbon.   Look upstairs, feller.   Great. Come right, Keith. Kid. Look, Red, a black winged plane. A black winged plane? That can mean only 1 thing. 1 of Stark's planes has been following   Well, what do you think of that? 1 of Ivan's shark's planes shadowing captain Midnight and Chuck.   What does that mean?   Does shark suspect the purpose of their flight?   Will captain Midnight dare take off on his photographing trip?   We'll find out more tomorrow.   And now remember,   your car will start faster if you change the weather oil at once. Even more important, your motor will be safer when its propeller will be safer when it's protected by a real winter oil. An oil specially made to flow freely at low temperatures   and stand up when subjected to high driving heat.  

Remember this too,   jelly tagoline winter oil is the oil to change to. It's amazingly fast flowing,   rushes to every part of your motor the minute you step on the starter.   Chili tagline keeps your motor safe, and besides, it stands up mile after mile, saves extra quartz   and extra quarter.   And you boys and girls, tell dad this. Tell him he ought to size Kelly tagoline oil for winter right now. And when he goes to the Skelly station, you go along and join captain Midnight flight patrol.   It doesn't cost you a penny to join, and the Skellyman will send into a headquarters for a free missile magic weather forecast of bad for you.   And listen tomorrow,   same time, same station for further adventures of captain Midnight brought to you by the Skelly Oil Company, Skelly Jobbers, and Dealers.  

Will captain Midnight and Chuck dare to take off on the photographing flight? Please go to listen.   Until tomorrow, this is your skelly man saying goodbye and happy landing.
