What מתing down up on the тепless mysterious, all-powerful character who is a problem to the police, but a coupsator fall off. In reality, Dan Garrett, a wiki patrol loved by everyone but suspected by none of being the blue people. As the blue people, he hides behind a frame of mass and a suit of incendentable blue-sane armor, flexible as silk, but stronger than steel. Today's transcribed episode of the Fox feature, the Blue Beetles, is entitled the Dancing
Ghost of Rocky Hills. First, I honor Rocky Craig overlooking the ocean, not many miles from York City, sits gray crazed manor. Surrounded by high stone walls, the large house dominates him a state of some 300 acres in Rocky Hills Eastchester County. Rather than the Rocky Hills, say the place is haunted. Some claim to have seen from a distance on moonlight nights the shadowy figures of dancers in the ballroom of the East winds of the manor. As our story opens today, the trolling Dan Garrett, who is really the blue beetle, little realizes that his next adventure will take him to Gray Craig's manor. He's talking with his friend Dr. Frann in a little apothecary shop. Hey, Danny, here's a night of my fifth out of the personal column on the conical this morning. A dress of a blue beetle. I thought you'd be interested. Somebody's getting the blue beetle using soap? Yeah, listen, attention, blue beetle, little mif muffet sat on a puppet, eating her curds in a way. Long came a spider and sat down the spider, scared
the poor girl away. Why should anyone address nursery rhymes to me? And there's a secret message in Cypher concealed in that nursery rhyme. Are you serious, Doc? Yes. I decided just people you came in. Oh, what's the message, Doc? Are you able to solve it? Well, the difference in size of pipe used throughout the rhyme gave me a clue. The young lady has evidently been reading Francis Bacon. Young lady? Yes, young lady. Well, this begins to look like a romantic adventure. What makes you think she's been reading Francis Bacon? Now, he used to write many of his plays and poems in Cypher similar to this. Very interesting. What methods do you borrow from this nursery, Doc? Well, here it is, this cycle. Young errors in dire distress. Only blue beetle can help. Come alone, midnight, grey craigs manner. Urgent. Grey craigs in manner. I thought a rocky hill, yes, the place is supposed to be haunted. Sounds like a trap for the blue beetle. But it's certainly intriguing, isn't it? I think I'll take a run out there now and look the place over by daylight. Or why don't you? That would be careful, Danny. That section used to be encased with two
figures and rumourers during prohibition. It's along the sea shore. Lots of colds and inlets with rocky cliffs over hanging sea. Sounds interesting. Are you planning on taking office in Manigan with you? Oh, poor Mike. Wait up for the bad case of poisonizing. That's tough on Mike. Yes, the whole war horse is camping at the bed. I'm going to drop by and see it, man. Tell him I hope he breathes back on the job again soon, I will. Goodbye, Doc. See you later. Check the Royal Putty. No, I have plenty of Royal Banks. What do I owe you? Up, Buck. There you are. That thing. By the way, who lives in that old mansion up on the hill? Overlooking the ocean. Mostly ghosts. Buddy, tell me you believe in ghosts. I don't know. Some folks
in the village here climb to fright music and seen figures dancing in a bull or a room as they walk along the road. Hasn't anyone visited the place? Nobody ran here. There's a guy with a club foot on God's the atmosphere state. It's not about caretaker. Hate on that nobody yet. Does anybody live in the manor house? Yeah, there's a young girl, a rosely queen hole in the red, just moved in. She inherited the place, I'll always do that. How recently did they move in? About a week ago. Have you ever seen them? Sure. They drive by here every day in an old fashioned carriage drawn by a couple of swalloc and horses. Who drives them? An old man and an old fashioned coachman, should of for. You're sure they're not all ghosts? I sure am sure. What you don't think beyond a corner there solves them gross reason things. He says the coachman is all the ordering. The girl in the red don't talk to anybody. That kind of snooty Joe says. Oh, that's very interesting. I've got to get along. Ghosts or no ghosts? Hello. Got to make a living. Yeah, ain't that the truth. Well, hello, buddy, and stay away from Warner House.
Well, I was wondering if I could drive through the gate there, and up to the manor house. I'm a camera thief, and I'd like to take some shots of the house and the ocean. Ain't no one allowed on the grounds. Owners orders. Well, you suppose if I have phoned up to the house from your lodge there, the owners would give me permission to take some pictures? Ain't got no foe. What are those wires running up the road there? Them, why, them's electric light wires. I see. Well, thanks for the information. Excuse me, stranger. My alarm clock's going off. What's the set at dawn this morning? Hello. That you clapped, what? This is blacky. What's that? Some guy wanted to take pictures of the place. Wasn't a harness, what was it?
Well, alright. Now listen. The girl got a message out from the blue beetle somehow. The old man's lawyer saw it in the newspaper. He ought to look out for the blue beetle, but the spider-wise do. Okay. Tomorrow, spider's taking a suitcase of the quair over the magnet hastings. When he takes the girl, they'll ride off for a drive. Right. Take care of things. Goodbye. Good night. Midnight. I wonder if the blue beetle got... You are fat noise. Good evening. Or should I say good morning? The blue beetle. Yes, the blue beetle. You're simply. Here I am. Oh, I'm so glad I'm in such trouble and so frightened. Will you help me?
The blue beetle is always ready to help anyone in distress. I didn't know what to do. You were the only one I felt. Could help me. I watched every minute. This place is...it's so spooky. It's terrifying me. Then why do you stay here? I must. By the terms of my late uncle's will, I have to remain here until I'm 21. In order to inherit the money that goes with this place. That's a strange condition to put in a will. Who lives here with you? My name is Nann. I'll go to the sanul sister abbey. If you're a watch the way you say you are, how did you get the message in the chronicle? Well, I wrote a note to the chronicle and closed the money with it in a stand envelope. And addressed it and dropped it outside of Digby's grocery store yesterday, hoping that someone would find it in mail. Well, what goes on here? Why all this secrecy? I don't know exactly, but I've seen some of the strangest men around here. I heard the gatekeeper call our coachman spider. And I heard spider call the gatekeeper Cubsbush. Mr. Jasper, that's Uncle Droyer, says that they're old retainers of Uncle sanul.
The other of these, as their workmen, hired to fix the place. They seem to work on lit night. What's that? What's that music? That's one of the things that frighten me. It's so ghostly. It comes from the other wing of the house. Have you ever been in that part of the house, Miss Greenhold? No. No, the door to that wing is lost and I'm not permitted to go there. Mr. Jasper says that Uncle wanted that wing and kept sacred to memories of his only love. A girl he met at a dance in the ballroom there, one room at night. She died the night they would have been married. I'd like to get over there and make a little investigation. Well, I can show you the iron door that leads to that wing of the house. You'll find it locked. Rubitle carries master keys to all locks. Let's have a look. Here you are. Right, it's so here. Now down this path is way. Here we are. Let's go to the east wing.
I will just try these keys. Not that one. Here's one that looks as if it might fit. There we are. Look, look there. There's shadows of answers on the wall. But no sound of voices. It's uncanny. It must be ghosts. I've always wanted some need to ghost. You stay here. I'd better lock this door after me. Oh no, please take me with you, Rubitle. I'm afraid to be left alone here. Oh no, you'll be safer in your part of the house. I'll be back as soon as I have had a look around. The blue beehive locks into the trash. Down you go into the prison pit with the ghosts of the departed pirate captain. Oh, you wanted to meet a ghost. Where are you? You'll be funny down there. Don't be. Don't be. What happened to you? What happened to the blue beehive?
What has happened to the blue beehive? Who are the strange people who have made great craigsman or their headwaters? Can the blue beehive extricate himself and solve the mystery of the dancing ghosts of Rocky Hill? These questions will be dramatically answered in the next transcribed episode of the blue beehive. The blue beehive is a copyrighted box featured appearing in mystery men comics magazine and the blue beehive on magazine. The blue beehive is on the air twice a week on this same station. The blue beehive locks into the trash.
The blue beehive locks into the trash. The blue vehicles.
We've been down upon the underworld, the smash ganglin' hung the mysterious, all-powerful character who is a problem to the police, but a coups later fall off. In reality, they and Garrett are will keep at home, loved by everyone but suspected by none of being the blue people. And the blue people, he hides behind a strange mask and a suit of intenitable blue chain armor, flexible as silk, but taller than steel. Today's transcribed episode of the Fox Feature, the blue vehicles, is the second part of the story entitled, The Dancing Ghost of Rocky Hill. In the previous episode, the blue vehicles, through the personal column of the Chronicle, receive the call for aid from the new errors at ported grey cracked manor at Rocky Hill.
Rumor has it that our new lit night ghostly figures dance in the ballroom of grey cracked manor. The errors, a young girl, Rosalie Greenhold, and her maiden aunt, are closely guarded by two persons, a man called Spider, who served as coachman, and a man with a club foot who claims to have been gatekeeper for the late owner, Nathaniel Greenhold. Entering the manor at midnight, the blue vehicles talk secretly with Rosalie Greenhold. As the episode ended, the blue beetle was investigating the dancing ghost phenomenon when a trap door suddenly opened in front of him, and he was catapulted into a deep dungeon. As our story opens today, a Mr. Jasper, attorney for the estate, is talking with Blackie from the police suspect of being a desperate criminal. Hello, Blackie. Suppose you let me handle this situation. After all, I'm the attorney for Old Man Greenhold, the state and sole executive of the will at the girl's Jasper. The girl. She'll have the cops on her neck. I can handle her. Something's got to be done to keep her quiet.
After all, she got a message through to the blue beetle. And he's lying at the bottom of the pit where pirates used to throw their victim. I just keep dead. Oh, the chances are his next broken thanks to the spider. I suppose he ain't dead, or isn't he? Well, he's securely locked in. Double locks in the night and all. Well, I don't feel better if I went out to have a look at myself. Well, that's all right. But do it undercover, a dark mess. What about the girl? I'll take a message from the blue beetle and see that she gets it. He'll think he escaped and is coming back. That'll keep her quiet for a few days until you can move your plates and presses to some other location. They've been there long enough. The place is getting hot. Someone's going to get wise to those 40 ghosts and start investigating. That's right. But by the terms of Nathaniel Greenhold's will, his knees rose. We must live at them, Anna. Until she's 21. And if she don't, then the whole estate, including a fortune in stocks and bonds, goes to charity. With you as the governor of the estate, it'll be slim pickings for charity. I see. We understand each other. You've shared your counterfeiting profits with me. I'll share the estate with you.
You get your counterfeiting equipment away from there, and we'll put on a haunted house campaign that will scare Rosley Greenhold and her old maid, Aunt, clear out of the state. I have just one key left to try. One of the others will fit. There. That's got it. Lucky I landed on my feet in this pit. No. The blue beetles free of his prison. But no one heard me. I'd like to catch you ever running this show off guard. There's a door. I'll try that. Stone stairway. The light at the top of it. Well, here goes. I'll show you the key. OK, I'll do it. I see.
Blackhees taking an awful chance keeping this place as headquarters. It was OK for turning out this kind of door until I'd damn came to live here. Them dancers upstairs throwing shatters on the windows, sure scared folks away from this place. Here. Kyle, these bills in the suitcase with the others. OK. Well, I'll get it's public front foot down the gate. Hello? Yes, by the chair. Just a minute. It's for you, spider. Hello? What? Lucky says dismantled the press? Yes, yes. What? Good, yes, yes. OK. Yes, I got you. Deliver the fake doory me to the laundry and hastings when I take the girl and a rant for a drive in the morning. So that's how it's done. Goodbye. Well, the blue beetles spoil that little game. First I'll have a look upstairs. See what makes the ghost dance.
Well, I took your aunt's place on the drive this morning because I wanted to have a talk with you Rosalene. What about that? I don't think you trust me, my dear. Why should I? I'm not permitted to have friends with the man or visit outside places alone. Those were your uncles, Anna's Rosalene. After all, he wanted to protect you from fortune-futting men and social parasites who might take advantage of your trusting nature when you came into your fortune. But what about all those things going on at the manor? Well, last night something terrible happened at night. Oh, what about last night? What happened? Well, I shouldn't have said anything. How is there something you've been keeping from me, Rosalene? After all, your uncle trusted me. Why shouldn't you? Well, last night the blue beetles. The blue beetles? Why now that's very interesting because I clipped this out of the paper this morning. You may be the Rosalene. This was addressed to. Here, read it.
Rosalene, had strange experience last night with ghosts but had safe now. Advise you leave menor as soon as possible. Signed the blue beetles. Or I knew I was right. That's terrible place. I won't say there another night. Oh. Well, here we are at the laundry, Mr. Jasper. Shall I take the bag of wash in, sir? Yes, I'll take it in. But be sure to get a receipt, spider. Yes, sir. Just a moment there. I'd like to have a look at that, bad. Well, what's behind there of this? Oh, you. I'm the sheriff of Eastchester County. How to telephone call to be on the lookout, beautiful? Well, this is an outrage. We're respectable citizens. This young lady is the owner of Great Breaks Matter and I'm, I am Haratani. Well, then you might, might look at any of this suitcase to make sure it's full of dirty clothes and not... Spider, Spider, try them on. We'll not stand for this outrage. But search horses now touch this trigger. Uh, I have a look in that suitcase. Hmm, money.
Can of it. The blue beetle was right. The blue beetle? Yes, the blue beetle. He pulled me an hour ago. Mr. Jasper, what does it mean? Well, that's why somebody must have switched suitcases on it, sir. Well, this is a frame-up. Oh, it's excellent. Well, I'd say you two are in a tough spot. Oh, I, I demand to see a warrant, Sheriff. I stand on my constitutional rights. As a practicing attorney, my advice to you will... As a practicing sheriff, my advice to you, Mr. Attorney, is...get a good lawyer. Quab put down the phone, Blackie. Okay. Hello? What? There's also dancing up a great craigs. But it's only midday. Where's Spider? All right, pull up the slim and tell him to stop the dancers. What? What's that? Slim does not answer. Something's gone haywire.
You'll have to get him to stand guard. I'll be out there, Prado. Bye-bye. All right, what the worst thing is. I don't know. Ain't nobody around. Somebody shut off the mechanism of the dancing ghosts. Yeah. We better have our cats ready. You follow me and give your eyes open. Nobody here. I don't see no one. Something about this business don't smell right to me. Look at that class of pair. Someone may be hiding. If he knows. Look, Slim, I'm the guy. I wonder who done this, Blackie? Yes, the blue beetle. Hey, your foot. I'll take that gun, Blackie. I know you won't prove it. Oh, yes, I will. And take care of Mr. Blackie.
Oh, Mr. Clubfoot. I hate to suck a cripple, but drop that gun or I'll... Okay, pooh, pig. You win. Oh, that's better. I'll just tie you up for safety. The police will need you. I'll take care of Mr. Blackie. Oh, Mr. Clubfoot. The police will need you. Watch for. The cops say, got nothing on me? Perhaps not. But I'm sure they'll want you to demonstrate those mechanical dancing dolls upstairs. And through ghostly shadows on the windows of the old doll room. Sorry, I can't stay for the final curtain. I'll read about it in tomorrow's papers. Blue beetle's job is done. The dancing ghost of Rocky Hills will dance no more at Grey Craig's manner. And so another gang of criminals was rounded up and brought to justice by the Blue Beetles.
But Officer Manigan couldn't make the arrest because of being laid up with boys and ivy. The moral of this story is, deception can never win for long. Truth will always triumph in the end. Also, as Officer Manigan would say, stay away from boys and ivy. What new adventures await the Blue Beetle in his unceasing crusade against crime? This question will be answered in the next transcribed episode of the Blue Beetle. The Blue Beetle is a copyrighted box feature appearing in Mystery Men Comics magazine and the Blue Beetle magazine.
