So have mother or dad drive you over to your Skelly service station tonight and join Captain Midnight's 1940 flight patrol. And now to Captain Midnight. Yesterday, you remember, Juan Pareda, owner of a vast estate with thousands of cattle, told captain Midnight and Chuck how Ivan Sharpe, Christopher Fury, and his henchmen have taken his estate away from him. Sharpe also tortured Prorator to try to make him reveal the location of priceless family air routes.
Just as he was finishing his story, the tone of a plane was heard. Our scene today continues. A plane comes closer and captain midnight commands sharply.
[00:03:07] Unknown:
It's a white plane, Chuck. Run the 1 ship and jump into the rear flight, please. Okay,
[00:03:26] Unknown:
up. You are very kind. Are you on your feet? My knees. A little weak, but I will be alright. Watch yourself. There's someone fighting. These pilots are always flying around. 1 does not know where they go. Oh, look. He's turning to the east. Yes. You're right. I wonder what he's doing there. Looks like he's going down behind that hill. Yes. Sign up for it. Yes, sign up for it. Yes, sign up. Is there any landing place behind that hill? Please, sign up. There is a small plateau there on which an airplane could land.
[00:04:27] Unknown:
There. He disappeared. Yes. Looks like he went down alright. If we're gonna get out of here, now's our chance. Senor, I guess you'd better come with us. We'll take you to a small field across the western rig. I know that field well. I leased some land there to some Americanos for mining. Of course. That's old. When was that? Several years ago. But I understood they had given it off. No. No. I don't believe they have because 2 of our friends named Pinky Drake and Slim Phool were sent down recently to investigate it.
[00:04:53] Unknown:
So Yes. We'd better get in the ship, Red, and be on our way. You'll come with us, senor? I would like to, but I must find some of my own men. Well, wherever they be? Back in the mountains. I can show you. Oh, gee, Red. That would be swell. Wait a minute. Is there a place to land an airplane there? Seesinger. I am sure the airplane can land. At 1 time, there was a leg, then it dried up. Gosh, Red. Listen to that. A dried up weight bed. What what that should make a swell landing field. Very well, senor. We will fly there. Are you sure you can find your way? See, I have certain. All my life, I have haunted and chased in these mountains and valleys. I could find my way around them with these blindfolds out of the eye. Good. Let's go. I'll help you in the rear cockpit with Chuck. Here, let me pick her up. Thank you, sir. There you are. Are. Oh, gee. We'll be carrying more weight than we should. It'll be bad if we have to fight any of those other planes in the air. Yes. I realized that, Chuck. We'll have to make up in marksmanship what we lack in maneuverability.
[00:05:42] Unknown:
Well, I'll jump into the front cart, breaking up the engine starter.
[00:05:46] Unknown:
Well, we're all set. Anytime. Alright. Here goes the starter.
[00:05:51] Unknown:
The half
[00:06:00] Unknown:
north. Okay, sir. Off where, Ed? We're off. And now our scene changes. To the south and east, there is a steep hill. And on the top of this hill is a rocky knoll which overlooks the whole valley. At this point stands Ivan Shrock looking through a pair of powerful binoculars. Attending him are Furi sharks and Fang.
[00:06:31] Unknown:
Listen as Furi asks. Can you see the plane, father? Yes, Gary. I see it very clearly. And Gretchen, we have that son, master. He will be, Feng. Is the plane's propeller turning, father? No, Joyce. The plane stands with propeller idle. Can you see anyone near? Just 1 moment, daughter. I must study this carefully.
[00:06:50] Unknown:
For what reason did the plane land out there? Yes, my dear Piori. Do not interrupt me.
[00:06:56] Unknown:
Now I see. 3 men. 1 is standing and his head keeps turning. He is evidently on guard. Another 1 is kneeling, probably talking to the third who was sitting on the ground with his back against the tree. Ungodably, he will be senor Paredes. Pareda. It is he. There can be no doubt. And the other 2? I cannot see the kneeling man very well. But the 1 standing up. Yes. Yes.
[00:07:17] Unknown:
He is Chuck Ramsey. Yeah. Surely. That settles it. The other 1 must be Captain Midnight. I believe you are right. Captain Midnight. What could have brought him here?
[00:07:28] Unknown:
My dear Fury, you are falling down badly.
[00:07:31] Unknown:
There is only 1 magnet that draws the mysterious Captain Midnight here. It is the great Eiran Jacques. Well said thanks. But what are we going to do father? Are we going to stand here in Aylen and allow our enemies to plot against us? As always, Yuri, you are too impatient.
[00:07:47] Unknown:
Have you not learned your lesson by this time? Have you not observed me often enough to know there's a proper time for action and a proper time for inaction? Observe the beasts of the jungle. Are they leaping continually? What do you say, Feng? You were with me in India. Great. It's jungle beast. Spend much time and what's all waiting. Did you hear that, Joyce? The clever 1 spends his time in setting the trap and then waiting while his enemies fall into it. Are you laying the trap now for captain Midnight?
[00:08:16] Unknown:
Or if you are, it had better be a good 1. Because by this time, that old spool of a parader will have told Captain Midnight his story. Ma'am, what difference will that make? For once, Captain Midnight has overstepped himself.
[00:08:28] Unknown:
This time, he is not fighting me on his own ground. He does not have a powerful force to aid him. I tell you, Fury, this time there shall be no mistake. Captain Midnight will never leave this valley alive. Look, motherfucker. Look. So I see, Ben.
[00:08:44] Unknown:
That must be Van Gripp. You wish to get Sanderson too, but I do have to see a second plane.
[00:08:49] Unknown:
Fast now. We have no more trouble.
[00:08:51] Unknown:
See? On zip drives on top of midnight. Yes, father. On good with driving. No. I see it, Jorey. And Captain Midnight has flown to his feet. Chuck Ramsey is running to the plane. He's almost there. He grasps the edge of the rear cockpit and jumps in. Spongebills is getting lower. Oh, wait. Just when he open fire. Ron Griffith is an excellent marksman, my dear, and he does not wait for that. What is captain Midnight doing? He is helping parade it to his feet. Von Gripp is close. He's about to open fire. Where's the captain? Not grand. He has opened fire first. Von Griffith's pulling away. A violent creature. Later on his feet. Captain Midnight is helping him to the plane.
[00:09:57] Unknown:
But what good would that do mean? You promised me a lot of money for this deal, and I want to leave to enjoy it.
[00:10:03] Unknown:
Anyway, they will not hesitate. Perhaps you are right.
[00:10:07] Unknown:
Where is Sanderson? I sent him over to see what is going on in the coast of this. Where would he meet you? I thought he'd be displeased. He is splendid.
[00:10:13] Unknown:
Now then, Mount Bep, listen closely.
[00:10:22] Unknown:
Don't worry about that. Well, what's to forbid? He's flying away. I have no fear, my dear.
[00:10:27] Unknown:
Now that he has listened to Pareta's story and knows that I am here, you could not drive him away. Master, if I, cut them in the night, we'll say you're punished. As possible, we're financed as he has, chief, a 7 on the edge of the field across the ridge We've got everything under control, Von Biff, but we can't afford to make any slips. You I'm fired. Get back to your feet there. So I see, Billy. Get ready, Von Biff. It'll be a simple matter to capture the others in the cabin.
[00:11:19] Unknown:
Captain Midnight is as good as dead rise now. Well, does captain Midnight realize the danger he's in? He certainly is unaware that Ivan Shark's men have surrounded the cabin where his friends have taken refuge. The nest gone by Ivan Shark is growing closer and closer. Tune in tomorrow to captain Natan. And now here's a very important tip for every fellow and girl who's joining captain Midnight's new 1940 flight patrol. When you call at your Skelly service station to join, the first thing you get is your official junior pilot's application card. Now, be sure to hold on to that because and here is my secret tip. There are some very important words on the back of that card that will help you solve a hidden mystery. I can't tell you about it now, but it's going to happen real soon.
So now, if there are any of you fellows and girls who have not yet joined Captain Midnight's new 1940 flight patrol, this is what to do. Have mother or dad drive you over to your Skelly service station and tell your Skelly man you wanna join the 1940 flight patrol and get your free spinning propeller medal of membership.
