03:29What happened before I arrived, Professor Dodge?
03:37They forced me to reveal the code key to the plans for my electronic firebolt.
03:42With that machine, they can break into any safer vault in the country.
03:46Well, that's probably just what they planned to do.
03:59Using some mysterious device which burns through steel and concrete, thieves last night broke into the Hammond Art Galleries.
04:14Many of the world's most priceless paintings, many of the world's most priceless paintings, old masters, irreplaceable originals were removed.
04:19The daring safe breakers are still at work, their latest objective was the home of Jacob Mortimer, the famed collector.
04:28Rare manuscripts and first editions of inestimable value have disappeared.
04:33Insurance losses to date have already exceeded a million dollars.
04:36Public demand for action is mounting and law enforcement agencies seem unable to cope with the strange menace.
04:43I'm getting enough criticism from the firebolt of the firebolt of the firebolt of the firebolt.
04:48That electronic firebolt is a powerful weapon in the hands of criminals, but I think we can stop them now.
04:55You mean if that machine in Professor Dodge's relay locates the firebolt?
04:58You can depend on Professor Dodge.
05:00His locating device will be finished today.
05:02And the next time they use that firebolt, we'll have a chance to trap the Scarab's gang.
05:07At this rate, you'll soon have every arch treasure and antique of the city.
05:11Don't be too confident.
05:13The district attorney is no fool, and Professor Dodge is a very competent scientist.
05:17They haven't stopped us yet.
05:19No.
05:21But I must learn what their plans are.
05:22You're going at once to find out what's happening at the district attorney's apartment in the Winston Arms.
05:39Finished?
05:40All except the installation of the firetron tubes,
05:44which must be fitted by the skilled technicians of the Munson Laboratories.
05:47And as a precaution, Mr. Gardner wanted to take the control unit to the laboratories himself.
05:53I'll tell him it's ready.
05:58Get me the district attorney.
06:05District attorney.
06:06This is Professor Dodge, Mr. Gardner.
06:09The control unit for the firebolt locator is ready for the lab work.
06:12Excellent.
06:13I'll be there in an hour to pick it up.
06:19Looks interesting, Professor.
06:20Are you sure it'll work?
06:21Positive, Mr. Gardner.
06:23With the firetron tubes installed,
06:25we can locate the electronic firebolt wherever it is used.
06:29I'll take this to the laboratories,
06:31get the tubes installed, and be back here before dark.
06:35Clancy, you better stand guard out in the hall.
06:37Yes.
06:38Someone's tapping with Grant's car.
06:50I've got to warn him.
07:00H.I.
07:02M.A. calling H.I.
07:04Come in, M.A.
07:05The job's finished.
07:08The stuff will make his motor heat up.
07:10And as soon as it hits the boiling point,
07:13the car will explode like a bomb.
07:16Here he comes.
07:28He's pulling away now.
07:32Grant!
07:33Grant!
07:34Grant!
07:35Grant!
07:36Grant!
08:05Grant!
08:06Grant!
08:07He's pushing you out.
08:08Look out!
08:09It's all for very good to hear.
08:10To be
08:35I'm calling Highway Patrol, District Attorney speaking, I'm traveling north on Route 50,
08:44license 8K5047, notify all police in the vicinity to stop and detain the occupant of station
08:51wagon trailing me.
08:54District Attorney, license number 8K5047, traveling north, trailed by station wagon,
09:01got it.
09:05.
09:17.
09:22.
09:29.
09:33I'm from the DA's office. Here are my credentials. I'm trying to overtake the DA. Someone's
09:40tampered with his car. I'll phone headquarters to flash him a radio warrant.
09:58That's right, the district attorney's car.
10:03Highway Patrol calling District Attorney Gardner. Urgent. Come in, please.
10:13Carter speaking. What's wrong?
10:16Examine your car for trouble. It's been tampered with.
10:20Thanks. I'll check it.
10:33You're safe.
10:34So is the control unit for Professor Dodger's locating device. The Scarab won't know that. I'll prepare a headline that'll convince him it's still safe to use the firebolt. Let's go.
10:52Mystery car explosion injures DA. Scientist locating device unit destroyed.
11:01So, we were successful. Now we can proceed with our attack on the National Platinum Company's refinery vault without interference of the district attorney.
11:20We know the thieves will use the stolen firebolt again. And when they do, its electronic radiations will illuminate this bulb.
11:30Then I'll run the pointer along the contact points. When I make a contact on the area where the firebolt is working, that light will start flashing.
11:39Look, an electronic power bolt is being used somewhere. Now's our chance to locate it.
12:09It's somewhere in this area. The corner of Hudson and Belvedere. Thanks, Professor. That's all I need to know.
12:34Mr. Gardner's a brave man. I'd feel much happier if Captain America were with him.
