The Blue Beagles.

Weeping down upon the underworld is Mack Ganglin from a friend of the unfortunate, enemy of Pillical.

In exterior, all of our ful character a problem to the Polia.

What a brue state of a law.

In reality, Dan Garrett a look at Patolman, loved by everyone, but suspected by none of being the Blue People.

As the blue people, he hides behind the strange laps and a sup of intelvitible blue chain of a flexible assault, but stall and still.

Today's episode of the Blue Beetle is entitled Thoroughbreads always come through.

Horse racing is called the sport of kings, but common people enjoy it.

Also, enormous thumbs of money are bet each year on horse racers.

Enormous sumbs of money are won and lost each year on horse racers, And where enormous sums of money are involved, clever crooks will be ever scheming to divert some of that money into their dishonest hands.

As our story opened the Troman, Dan Garrett is discussing with his friend and confidence doctor Franz the Chemist, a recent death at a nearby racetrack and his possible ramifications.

But Denny, what Makeshoo think Buddy Winston's death was murdered?

Something that jockey said before he died in the hospital.

What was that?

He said?

Say goodbye to the real white Star upon me?

He's a Thoroughbred.

White Star was the name of the horse he's been riding for some time.

Yes, he's owned by the B and T stable Buddy Rode for them.

Is white Star a Thoroughbred?

But he is?

He hasn't raced like one.

He's been running down at Greenwood, but so far he hasn't won a race this season.

In fact, he hasn't even been in the money.

Everyone calls him a dog.

Being in the money means coming in first, second, third, or fourth, doesn't it.

That's run And now he's being brought up here to Parkingham Race Track.

Yeah, mm er, But tell me, Danny, why did Buddy Winston's last words make you feel he was murdered?

His body was found in that wild stagion funder Mike's stall.

Apparently he'd been kicked in the head by the standard.

Yes, but what was he doing in the stallion stall?

He had no business there.

That horse belongs to the Williams Stables.

Oh and this This horse race business is beyond me.

Some horses run around in the circle and one of them wins, and a few people win some mone me, a lot of people lose some money.

Well, that's just about riot, Doc, And what are you going to do about Buddy Winston's dad?

First, get Mike Mannigan and run off of the racetrack and look around.

The big race is on today, isn't it?

Yell and White Starr has entered.

What chance has he?

Many of the horses in the race are top flight thoroughbreds, aren't they according to the newspapers.

Well, Lanny, if there's something crooked going on, I know you will find it out and be in there investigate, you bet, it's my duty to a poll the law bring every crook to Just be careful, Lenny, be careful, and good luck boy, good luck Frank.

Doc along, I'm going to find out what makes White Star twinkle.

As I see it, Danny, Jockie Winston knew so much about something crooked in this horse racing business and was bumped off to keep his mouth shut.

That's my theory.

Tone, Well, what do you figure he knew?

Are some crooked work in connection with White Star?

What bat dog.

Say me, boy, that horse couldn't run fast enough to keep his feet wall.

That's what everybody thinks.

I've gotta hunt.

She's booked to win this race today.

Oh, don't make me laugh, Dan, He's been in the money this season and against teobreads like Sassafras and Blue Regret and San Simon.

He looked like he's running backwards.

That the same.

I've gotta hunch he'll win, yes, but take my advice, don't bat that hunch with a real money bet.

Don't worry.

I don't play the racers.

I like the seahorses run, but I don't bet on him.

But here we are.

You gonna get the tickets when I passed the cars, Okay, Mike, horse tickets have turn line for brandstand keep bobbing.

Have your honey runny here too for the grand wise, we don't need no ticket off of he's man pass.

Oh thanks, but I'm off, beauty.

I prefer to my ticket.

Okay, I've bumped for you'd like.

Dunny.

Did you get the dang?

Yeah?

Here we are, let's go.

That's why.

Okay, how about a poor drink?

That is no thanks, Mike, I'm gonna throw around this cetac and see what gossip I can stick up.

Okay, then hold a seat way up in the let's see section.

See if I throw up?

That?

Is he here to finish?

Name?

All right, Mike, I'll be back before the big race.

Hello, you're the jockey that's riding White Star today.

Yeah, that's right.

Name's Jessup.

Yeah, mine's Garrett Roman Dan Garrett.

Anything wrong over a sud No?

No, I'm not here to arrest anyone.

I like horses, So I thought i'd come down here and look around.

Oh is that that white starter?

Yeah?

That's him.

He's a beauty.

Certainly is Can he run like a street?

What's been holding him back?

Well?

I don't know.

I ain't never ridden him in a race.

Winston used to ride him.

Oh that's right.

I suppose he gets his name from that uh white star in his forehead hip.

Well, good luck today, thanks Miday.

We cast him in an office.

Huh yeah?

Are you hearing the official capacity?

Oh no, just shaking hands with the horses.

Well, don't be talking to my jockeys or fooling around with horses.

But for a race?

Are you the owner of White Star?

I represent the own us I see think he'll win today.

I mean for that tip, maybe, well, don't put your money on right out of the star.

No, well, you're a jockey here, and I thinks, never mind what he thinks.

He stakes are right not to think.

I tell you to put your money on some other horse.

White Star isn't ready yet, new track, new jockeys.

See okay, Well goodbye, jessup and good luck and uh thanks for that tip.

Mister.

It's a sure thing.

I won't bet on a White Star.

Well there's Louis met number one.

He's a nice looking Philly.

No Philly to win this race, spacifies for my money.

Yeah, what about White Star?

That dog?

God, don't make me laugh.

San Simeon likes a just anything can happen in a mile of an eight yep, I'm taking a long shot two dollars of fifty to one on White Star.

Ain't peanuts if you'll win, and then they ain't horseways like this one.

He ain't got a chance.

He cut up so much at the post he may even be left.

Ah, look they're at the post.

The regrets sure looks good.

San Simeon's nervous lumit.

I don't like the number four spots.

White Star's pretty steady, stands there like a thorough bread.

Oh, come on burn, come on, that's the fast out and run.

What's that horse coming through next to the rail number seventh?

Rainy day?

Boy, look at him?

Come san Zimian's dropping back.

Where's my horse?

Yes, he's whooping up, he's past San Simeon.

He's almost Megan then with Rady Day, that's a fast verse Ui Red second, Brady Date, third way, saw fourth at the wrning saying semons out of bo White's NAT's racy Rainy Day.

Well, bunny, you know about that.

Yeah, he's moping up a bully bread.

Yeah, who a bet can't stand the pace?

I told you an old philliad with this race.

Come on, White Starn, come on Shaan No, well I be he's past.

That's a bath at the five.

Times and he has been done.

Boy, oh boy, one hundred bucks.

I'm went ah.

The race ain't over yet, it is with gost look at why start coming, Dallas Statch, Come a White Star, Come on, baby, dusting their races.

Come on, White Star up baby a walk away?

Why might.

Well Danny?

What did you think of the race, White Star certainly ran like a thoroughbred.

He sure did not say the bookies must have cleaned up.

Why nobody was bet from one white Stars or the big money was on the favorites.

I have a hunch that the owners of White Star had plenty of money bet on their horse.

And what makes you think that?

I figured they'd be as surprised as anybody else.

The man I met at the stables while I was talking to jockey Jessup was too anxious to have me bet on some other horse.

I'm suspicion of him.

He represents the owners.

Well, why didn't you tell me i'd have placed a bet on White Star.

I didn't think of it at the time.

Hey, are you going me off here?

Mike?

I'm not dropping on dark friends, okay, And I may have a look into this case me sir, it don't smell right to me.

Well, keep your eye open for the blue beetle.

Oh him ah, someday, I hope him.

Can you do let me know I wear that wyll Good night, Mike, Good night Danny.

Oh, hello, hello Danny.

And how are the races?

Oh?

Great?

Some fine horses running.

I heard some of it over the radio.

White Star was a great surprise.

Yes, and I can't quite figure it out.

Something's wrong somewhere.

Why well, a horse as good as White Star couldn't run as poorly as he has in the passed.

You can't disguise class.

Wait a minute, disguise that's it?

You got something?

Oh, most say?

I wonder if Oh, it's fantastic.

Uh excuse me, Danny, Yes, oh, yes, yes, he's here, just a minute.

It it's for you, Danny.

Ah.

A young lady's voice, thanks, Hello, Yes, who Millie jessep Oh, the jockey's sister.

Yes, what I see?

When did it happen?

Yes?

I certainly will where.

Yes, I'll be there in fifteen minutes.

Goodbye, something important, Danny?

Yes, Doc, Dad was Jessup's sister on the phone.

You know the jockey, he wrote, white Star.

I met him today.

He's been arrested on some trumped up charge.

He remembered me and asked her to call me, pray to call me himself.

Do you think it has anything to do with the race this afternoon?

I'm sure of it.

Well, so long, Doc, I'm going down at headquarters.

The Blue Beetle might fly tonight, so I'll be back later for the blue Beetle chain, armor and mass.

I'll be here and have everything ready Dan, Thanks Doc, goodbye.

Oh tell me all about it, Miss Jess.

Well, just after the race today, when Eddie, my brother, was changing his clothes, he overheard a conversation that led him to believe that White Star was going to be shipped to another track tonight.

But white Star is supposed to race him the Alice Whiteman Memorial Stakes here next Saturday.

That's right.

So my brother went to mister Gottschalk, who represents the B and P Stables, and asked him about.

What he overheard.

What did Godshalk say?

He told Eddie his ears were to be hm.

A little later, somebody went to the racetrack stores and claimed that they've been robbed with some diamond couplings.

A search was made and they were found in Eddie's locker.

But I know he didn't do it, mister Gibb, I'm positive he didn't.

Eddie.

Isn't that kind of a boy?

Oh no, Miss Jess, don't get excited.

I'm sure this is a frame up to get your brother out of the way for a while.

He'd be afraid to talk to you.

Himself.

Do we ask me to that was wise?

Does crooked work going on somewhere and I'm gonna find out what it is.

What are you going to do?

Buck it over with someone who will clear up this racehorse mystery and if it's a crooked racket, he'll smash it in quick order.

What is the explanation of Jockie Jessop's arrest?

Why is White Star to be transported to another track?

How can a losing horse be made into a thoroughbred overnight?

Will Dan Garrett solve the mystery or will he turn the job over to the Blue Veto In another part of the city.

Interesting instructions are being given over the telephone.

Uh, look, Spinella clever with the paint brush.

It's done a suall job on that horse.

Sage brush.

It kept him looking like a real White Star.

Yeah, they were.

Bred to have the same confirmation.

He may not be able to run like him, but he sure looks like him.

But yeah, yeah, I know, I didn't know.

It was difficult, but they're getting paid plenty.

Here's what I want you to do, worshipping White Star to a little track in the South, and I want you to disguise him so that no wonder do what is that he is?

Where is the blue beetle flying tonight out to the race track.

There's no horse racing at night.

No, but there's a horse moving.

The blue beetle is going to point out wine.

Well, be careful, Danny.

I uh, I inspected your blue chain, armor and mask, and he seems in perfect condition.

Flank stark h taking anything along this.

You're a magic ray and blue people's spotlight.

Just a little paint remover, paint remover, Yes, I've got a hunch of little paint remover.

May come in handy to remove it the sky.

So I hope you're successful for the wise I was following out the Bluebeto is off to the race track a niche pull a horts van in here and park.

Okay, I saw put it into the stables.

I'll see if it's finale is finished with White Star.

If he has, I'll give you the old Huda.

Yeah what then I've come running with White Star.

We'll lead him up into the truck.

Okay, I'll keep your motor running.

As soon as we get him motor, we'll hide him it out it I got your okay, mine.

We let the moat and ramp down.

You take the other side.

Yeah, I got it, No easier down.

Ah, that's cut it now.

I remember to keep your motor running.

Eh, you have sharp ears, madicant listen, copper.

If you're wise, you'll put up that gun and forget.

You have a sauce.

A boss will pay plenty to keep this quiet.

It's a gold mine.

Oh yeah, well I have prospecting for gold.

I'm gunning for racketeers.

When you ain't gonna get this one crown for you cover and this is for you.

A good wife.

Finally got the blue beetle over the Latin.

Hey look, uh look she's a broke.

She's a set fire to this farm.

Hey, hey, what's going on?

Uh?

Fire fire?

Somebody training your mom?

Right, Yeah, I don't leading into mister blue beaton.

Throwd him on your back and bring him out to the van.

We'll got more of a break somewhere.

Oh now he had me.

Okay, okay, I'll take him.

You'll leave White Star out.

Mtch is waiting down a road with a motor on it.

Come on, come on, make it trapping down here we go?

What else?

The Blue Beata certainly had a Nato escape that tank.

Yes, Spinella hit me from behind the lantern and knocked me unconscious.

When I came to, I was in a water tank next to what had been White Star's store.

The whole place was ablaze.

So how did you escape burning to death?

The Asbesta's lining you made for my blue beet limber save me?

Oh?

Yes, yes, I remember.

I made it so if some racketeer happened to get a hold of your electric raid Guten, he couldn't burn you to death in your blue beetle armor.

That's right.

Oh, by the way, what became of Manninggan?

Didn't you say he was there?

Yes?

But a bug named froggy knocked him out.

I didn't see anything of him afterwards.

Did you see the morning paper?

No?

What did they have to say about the fire?

U?

He read it?

Uh uh.

The fire caused considerable damage to stables at Parkingham Race Track last night.

Several horses were burned thirst It was thought White Star had been burned, but later the sensation of stakes winner was found in one of the stables, not touched by the fire.

His book to run in the Alice white Man Memorial Stakes on Saturday.

Say something's rotten somewhere?

What what do you mean?

A White Star was in the part of the stables the fern last night, but he was disguised by a court of paint.

I caught one of the crook the crooks at work that says they were in the paper or But if those crooks can disguise one horse, they can disguise another.

What are you going to do?

And I don't have a look at this white Star.

Just a minute, Danny, I see who's out front in the store.

Oh he doc is Donny here?

Yes, yes, he's in the back.

Might a cut on your chin?

Yeah?

Sure?

A horse kicked me last night.

Hello Mike, what's about a horse kicking you?

Oh?

Hello, Danny, Yes, you see, I was investigating this White Star case and I got kicked by a horse.

Oh that's too bad.

They but you're just in time.

I'm going out of the track myself.

Why don't you come along.

Maybe you can find the horse that kicked you and arrist him.

That's a good idea.

Come on, now, let's go.

I got the car outside, you wry doc.

If I find out what I expect to find, the blue Beetle will fly again tonight.

Danny, would you like to try out the affordable television set?

It's ready for the test.

That's great.

I'll pick it up when I come back to my blue Beetle chain armor.

And there's goodbye, goodbye, and good luck.

All arrangements have been made, gentlemen.

Sage Brush, the guy's that's White Star were raced in the White Men Memorial on Saturday and Blues.

What about the real White Star.

He'll run a chady side, this guy's the sage Brush and win.

We'll get long ard on him and clean up.

Who's riding here on Saturday?

Oh and you, Jackie, it's his first big race.

You'll think he's riding on the real white Star.

What's that humming sound?

Maybe electric fan in the other room.

One about Jessup.

Doesn't he suspect he's out on bail?

He'll be kept away from the race back.

If he opens his mouth about anything, he'll get what we gave Winston.

I hope your scheme works.

We've invested plenty, and we expect to realize on our investment.

I don't worry, gentlemen.

Your investment is state.

You've already cleaned up plenty on yesterday's race.

You'll make a fortune if you'll let me run things.

One about the policeman and the blue people that discovered Spinelli and Froggy, as you call them at work.

They've been disposed of.

Their mouths have been closed forever.

What's that noise?

The blue people come to life?

Yes too, beat Buddy Winston can't be brought back to life.

Murderous, sure of you, your blue people, go ahead and shoot cut shock, But first look at this little black mark.

Not interested in little black bosses.

You're in my way, and every action, every word you say is being registered in this portable television set.

That was all my heart.

Electric hand, you were ending behind the curtains televising everything that took place here.

The police, Yes, the police, they've been receiving everything I've picked up here.

The case is complete, gentlemen, with every television set owner in the city has added witnesses.

The blue Beader was hit with these crooks.

Hey put the braces on them, boys, and I a shure of the Blue Beatles.

I'll handcuff him.

Like all ry to hurt him, Anagan, but the Blue Beetle has to keep his hands free.

Goodbye, gentlemen, It'll be a long time before you see another horse race.

Well.

I can laugh now, Danny when I think how you bluffed those crooks.

But at the time I was for yes.

If I'd known you'd left a two bottle of the portable television set, I'd have had to use different methods.

Luckily the crooks didn't know it.

They were so surprised and frightened they made a full confession when Mannigan and the boys got them down the headquarters there.

The next time, i'll make a closer check.

I'd have never forgiven myself if harm had come to you, or forget a duck.

You're the best friend a fellow could have.

I don't know what I'd have done without your health.

Oh, you'd have come through successfully just the same.

Remember thulebraids always come through.

And so another crooked racket was smashed by the Blue Beagle.

What new assignments will the Blue Beagle set for himself in his crusade against crime?

This question will be answered in the next episode of The Blue Beagle.
