The Skelly Oil Company presents captain Midnight. Captain Midnight, brought to you every day, Monday through Friday at the same time by the Skelly Oil Company, Skelly Choppers and Dealers. Skelly, as you know, was the originator of tailor made gasoline. Skelly Elmax, the gasoline that wakes up lazy motors. But now listen closely, fellas and girls. We're picking up an important radio dispatch from your neighborhood's Kelly map. Just a second now. There. There. We've got him. Listen.
[00:00:58] Unknown:
Calling all members of Captain Midnight's new 1940 flight patrol. Calling all members. Attention to new planets. Cold weather ahead. Ask the Jeep pilot of your family car if he's made a change to winter oil. Don't delay. Head your ship or nearest Skelly Landing Field and change over to Tagoline Withdrawal. Your neighborhood Skilly man signing off.
[00:01:19] Unknown:
Well, that is an important message Because there's no use talking, it means a lot to have your family car prepared for colder weather. And changing to wetter oil may save dad lots of trouble and expense later. Tell him to remember this, that it's cheaper to prepare than to repair. So there's a real special assignment for all you junior pilots. Let's see if we have those orders straight now. Okay? First, ask dad tonight, without delay, if he's made the change to wetter oil. Because if he hasn't, he's not only liable to have trouble starting some of these frosty mornings, but he's also liable to damage the motor because slow running summer oil just doesn't get up into that motor fast enough to lubricate it properly. What you wanna tell dad to use is fast flowing tagoline, a winter oil that's tailor made for easy starting and instant free flowing lubrication in colder weather.
So charge the course of your family car to your Skelly service station. Be sure you know the way so you can show dad just how to get there. Remember, cold weather ahead is warning enough for the smart young friends of Captain Midnight. They know it's smart to be prepared for frosty mornings with SkellyTagoline winter oil and free flowing easy starting motor oil that's tailor made for colder weather. And now to Captain Midnight. Yesterday, you remember, about 15 of Juan Piretta's men came to help Captain Midnight and Chuck in their efforts to move the plane which has sunk into the muck of the dried lakebed on which it landed. Singha Pareda and his men approached with a long rope to be attached to the plane.
Suddenly, an ominous drone is heard in the sky. And the next instance, the nose of a black ship appears over a nearby ridge and ties down towards the surface of the dry lake. Captain Middaugh tries to Chuck. They must run for their lives. Here they are. Listen to Chuck Gass.
[00:03:15] Unknown:
We can't make it, Red. He's too cold. You're right, Chuck. We can't. Quick. Throw yourself on the ground. Okay, Red. You too. Flatten out, Chuck. Flatten out. Get right down into the ground if you can. I'm making myself as small as I can. Jump like that. Flatten yourself up. Yeah. That's right. But now, he's gonna have to go
[00:03:28] Unknown:
No.
[00:03:29] Unknown:
He won't. See? He's pulling up. Well, that's funny. He didn't flare at him. No. He didn't drop a bomb either. At least his head has exploded. Yes. He's zooming up. What are we doing?
[00:03:37] Unknown:
He didn't drop a bomb either. At least it hasn't exploded yet. He's zooming up. What do we do now? Listen. We're gonna make for that shore. Come on now as quick as your legs will carry you. Okay, Red. Let's go. Alright. Come on. Yeah. Thank heavens for aid and his men got to the shore. This great leap, they've sure fooled all of us. They were not as far as we were. No. They got to the shore in a hurry. Look. Look. They dropped their roof. See it. It's right ahead of us. Yes. I do. Alright. Now we'll grab it as we go by. I don't want this pilot to see it. He might get an idea of what we intended to do. Oh, here it is. I'll grab 1 end. Let's Okay. Go. Come on. Hurry. Hurry. Gee. I wish I could run faster. I think we'll make it alright. A little bit more longer, it'll be safe. That black ship seems quick, Chuck. Quick. Pour yourself behind that tree. You've got a perfect shot at us.
That's 1 of Shark's pilots right in the open fire. Gosh. That's right. He had almost a perfect shot at us. It must be 1 of Shark's pilots. That's the same kind of a plane we've seen before. It sure is. Look. See it bank around over the other side of the lake bed? Yes. It's 1 of those single seaters, Alight. He had 2 good chances to fire at us. He didn't use either 1. Man, it's possible he hasn't got the ammunition. But he hasn't. It's the first 1 of the shark's planes I ever saw without any. Yeah. Look. Look at him now. He's zooming up and circling over the middle of the lake bed. What in the world is he doing? He's looking things over. This sure has got me buffalo. Yes. Me too. He had another chance that he didn't take advantage of. Mhmm. Why he could have machine gunned that black 2 seater which we landed in that dry lake bed or dropped a bomb on it. Jimmy Griffiths red. Look. Yeah. He's flying to the west. He's right over the ridge. Oh, 0, I don't like that, Chuck. But that's where Ma and Patsy and Pinky and Sling are. I know. They should be in that grove of pine trees though. The branches are thick. Maybe this pilot won't see them. Gee, I hope not. Now wait. Yeah. It seems to be circling over that spot. Well, look, man. Someone's coming. Oh, that 7 year old parade. Oh, yes. Yes. He sees us too. You must have been watching to see where we went. Mhmm.
[00:05:40] Unknown:
Do I? You have not suffered any injuries? No. But alright, senor. How about you and your man? My men and I escaped, senor. They are in the woods now waiting for the orders. Oh, look, Fred. Look. What now, sir? That plane, turning and going north away from where Ma and Patsy are. That is good. He's flying away. Oh, that's fine.
[00:05:56] Unknown:
But I'm afraid it won't be long before he'll be back and I have others with him. No. He's gone. He's out of sight. Yeah.
[00:06:02] Unknown:
I do not understand. This pilot, he does not fire the gun. We don't understand that either, senor. But even if he does not fire the gun, senor, he has formed this place. Now he knows we have the, what you Americano say, the hideout. That's the worst thing about it, red. Now we'll hightail it back to Sharp and tell him where we are. Yes. Yes. There's no doubt about that. Now we've gotta make a decision to make it quickly. Listen. Send it for later. See you, El Capitan. I give you my attention. Alright. How many entrances are there into this lake bed? Only the 2 entrances. 1 is over the mountains rail and the other is in a deep Orangka. Mhmm. See? There it is. Oh, yes. Yes. I see it. Must have been the old outlet for the lake. See, senior, a long time ago, the water from the lake runs out in that direction. Oh, that's good. It shouldn't be hard to defend those 2 entrances. See, senior. My men, they will guard those entrances. They will hide behind the trees and the rocks. They will not let anyone come in. Oh, just a minute. Do your men have guns? See me, captain. Not very good guns perhaps, but just the same, they will shoot. No. That's fine, senor. Oh, this is a great break for us, Chuck. A small number of men can hold those 2 entrances against a large force. I can see that alright, Ben. And don't forget, we can get picky and slim. They're used to this kind of thing. Yes. There'll be a lot of help too.
[00:07:06] Unknown:
But there's 1 very grave danger. That's from the air. Charge pilots can bomb and machine gun us, so we've got to make some kind of a shelter that will be safe from both bombs and bullets. Senior. That will not be difficult. In the side of this mountain, there are dry caves. And 1 of these caves has a spring of good drinking water. Oh, boy. Isn't that swell? Oh, that's the best news yet. Chuck's pilots won't dare land on this lake, Ben, because they can see the black 2 seater is stuck in the mud. That's right. I don't think they'll try it anyway. They'd be open targets for our guns. But there's something else we've got to consider. What's that, Red? If Major Steele and Connolly do get across the border and come back to help us, they'll have a hard time finding this place.
We'll try to find a way to solve that a little later. Now then, Chuck, here's a job for you. Okay, Red. Shoot. You go up in the ridge and get Patsy and Ma and Slim and Mickey. Get them down here just as quickly as you can. Okay, Red. In the meantime, send your parade and I will put the finishing touches to our defense plan. Thank you.
[00:07:56] Unknown:
It is later the same morning. Across the high ridge to the north and down the valley lies Ivan Shark's secret landing field. In a grove of trees near the edge, close to the ruins of the shack where Major Steel and Connolly were trapped, stands Ivan Shark. With him is his daughter Fury. A black plane has just landed and taxied to the edge of the field where it stands with engine idling. I even shark and Fury are talking in low tones. Listen as Fury says.
[00:08:24] Unknown:
It is Von Griff, father. Yes, Gary. So I see. And this time, you'd better have a good report. Von Griff will have an alibi again. You can depend on that. We will see.
[00:08:35] Unknown:
Harry Thompson. Yes, chief. I have good news for you this time. I'm glad to hear that, Barnaby. And what is the good news? I have located the whole kitchen caboodle of them.
[00:08:44] Unknown:
And they are? About 8 miles south of us, at the upper end of this valley is a high ridge. On the other side, very high, is what looks like the crater of an old volcano. At 1 time, there must have been a lake, sir. And why are you telling me all these interesting geographical facts, Von Gripps? Listen, chief. You do not have to get sarcastic with me. I have found the whole crowd. They are hiding up there. Who is hiding up there? The whole bunch. I saw captain Midnight and Chuck Ramsey and that serrater seller, the 1 who got away from you.
[00:09:15] Unknown:
Well, Hambrith. This is very interesting.
[00:09:18] Unknown:
Continue, please. Not only that, but on a ridge above the lake, there are some more people. I think it must be she whom you call Ma Donavan and her daughter and those 2 prospectors. So they've all gathered there together. That is right. And that black 2 seater they stole from us, it is out on the lake bed stuck in the mud. I saw Captain Midnight and Chuck Ramsey were looking at it. Indeed, Vandeep. So they were looking at it. They certainly were. I guess they were trying to figure out how to get it out. Von Biff.
[00:09:47] Unknown:
Are captain Midnight and Chuck Ramsey still alive? Why, of course. You need to tell me, Von Biff, that my 2 biggest enemies were out in the middle of a dry lake bed when you dove upon them and they are still alive? That you didn't But listen, chief I. I thought the big thing was to let you know where they were. Ah, such nonsense. In 1 instant, you could have destroyed them.
[00:10:06] Unknown:
Why did you not show it, Von Grit? I am telling you, chief. I thought you would want to know where they were. I thought you'd want me to come back and report to you first. Go, Von Grit.
[00:10:15] Unknown:
Go quickly before my wrath gets better. What do you want me to do? Fly down to headquarters at once and bring back every available pilot and plane. Go quickly while you still can.
[00:10:30] Unknown:
Good night, sir. That Vonnegut has topping up his sleeve. He's playing some kind of a game, I tell you. Perhaps that is so, Pury. But you know my motto.
[00:10:39] Unknown:
You mean, always to strike first? That is it, Yuri. That is the essence of self protection. Notate, father.
[00:10:47] Unknown:
I am sure it would be best to take
[00:10:50] Unknown:
some action. You mean in regard to Van Wyck?
[00:10:53] Unknown:
Yes. Let us be rid of him before he does us injury. You, my dear father, are a master of mysterious disappearances.
[00:11:05] Unknown:
Yes, my dear Furey. Those who have sought to double cross me have vanished into thin air. But we must not wait, father.
[00:11:13] Unknown:
This night, when we have dinner, I will fix a special dish for Von Grierf. You know what I will put it in. Von Grierf will become very sleepy. And then
[00:11:29] Unknown:
And then, yes, my dear viewers. Listen, father. I hear the plane.
[00:11:34] Unknown:
Yes. There. See? It's coming from the north. Look, father. It's not ours. It's not black. It has Yes. It has silver wings and a blue body. It's going very fast.
[00:11:43] Unknown:
Look. It's driving down. It's going to Landcare. We must prepare for surprise. Perhaps an unpleasant 1. I wonder what this can mean. I'm sorry. We will find out.
[00:12:06] Unknown:
Well, it doesn't look very good for the pilot Von Griffith. Can it be true that he is double crossing Ivanshark? And who can this new arrival be? A strange plane with silver wings and a blue body. Ivan Sharp will certainly make immediate plans for the capture of captain Midnight and his friends. What will those plans be? June and tomorrow to captain midnight. Now remember that message from your neighborhood, Skelly, man. It was a friendly warning to all you fellas and girls who are acting as junior pilots of your family car. He warned you that with cold weather ahead, it's time to change over to free flowing, easy starting tagoline.
Now winter oil that's tailor made for colder weather. So hop into the junior pilot seats there beside dad and lead the way to your Skelly service station. Have your car made ready for the snappy weather that's ahead. Just be sure you get genuine Skelly Taccoline Winter Motor Oil. Also, if you haven't yet joined the new 1940 flight patrol, there's your chance. Your Skelly man will sign you up and send right in for your secret medal of membership with the 3 blade spinning propeller and the mysterious secret password. Now don't forget to tune in again tomorrow, same time, same station, for further transcribed adventures of Captain Midnight, brought to you by the Skelly Oil Company, Skelly Jobbers and Dealers.
Is this new arrival a friend or an enemy? Where are Major Steele and Bud Connolly? And what will Captain Midnight do next? Be sure to listen tomorrow. Until then, this is Don Gordon, your skelly man, saying goodbye and
[00:13:45] Unknown:
