is entire saved by a hair. In all large cities,
and even in smaller communities, there are unfortunate to what
trying to live down a single misstep. Having served time
in jail for some crime, generally a first offense.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
They have been paroles, released from jail.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
With part of their sentence unserved, given a chance to
try again to make useful citizens of themselves. Paroles, they
are called one misstep while un paroles, and they may
be returned to jail to serve out the full term
of the sentence. Clever but heartless underworld characters have found
the parole a source of illicit income. And as a result,
(01:38):
a widespread system of blackmail has sprung up. As our
story opens for Troman, Dan Garrett, who in reality is
the Blue Beagles, is discussing the matter with his friend
and confidence, doctor Franz. You see dark the fellows up
against it when these underworld bulches begin to hover over him.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Way, how do you mean, Danny?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Well us take a taste of Jim Horton. He got
mixed up for the bunch of young hoodlums in the
neighborhood where he lived and got caught one night running
away from the scene of a store robbery.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Was he one of the robbers?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
He claimed not, but the court found him guilty. He
got five years. Oh yes, yes, I I remember the
case now. Well, some friends and the parish priest got
up a petition and presented it to the parole board.
As a result, he was parole with four years.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yet to serve. And what happened.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
His friend got him a pretty good job, but as
soon as he got to work, the underworld got busy
and tried to persuade him to come in with them
and make them real money. Told him he'd never succeed
honestly because of his prison record.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Did eagle wind with them? No, No, he.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Refused that he preferred to go straight, A wise decision, ordinarily, yes,
But the gang wouldn't let him go straight. They wanted
him to give them inside information about the place where
he worked. They threatened to frame him and have his
parole canceled so he'd be sent back to jail. But
what can those gangsters hope to gain.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
By such tactics?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
A recruit for their campaign of crime, inside information about
the place where the parole works, power over first offenders
and so forth. And where is Horton now back in
jail on a charge of robbery with a gun? Brained evidence?
I'm certain?
Speaker 2 (03:08):

trying to live down a single misstep. Having served time
in jail for some crime, generally a first offense.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
They have been paroles, released from jail.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
With part of their sentence unserved, given a chance to
try again to make useful citizens of themselves. Paroles, they
are called one misstep while un paroles, and they may
be returned to jail to serve out the full term
of the sentence. Clever but heartless underworld characters have found
the parole a source of illicit income. And as a result,
(01:38):
a widespread system of blackmail has sprung up. As our
story opens for Troman, Dan Garrett, who in reality is
the Blue Beagles, is discussing the matter with his friend
and confidence, doctor Franz. You see dark the fellows up
against it when these underworld bulches begin to hover over him.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Way, how do you mean, Danny?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Well us take a taste of Jim Horton. He got
mixed up for the bunch of young hoodlums in the
neighborhood where he lived and got caught one night running
away from the scene of a store robbery.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Was he one of the robbers?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
He claimed not, but the court found him guilty. He
got five years. Oh yes, yes, I I remember the
case now. Well, some friends and the parish priest got
up a petition and presented it to the parole board.
As a result, he was parole with four years.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yet to serve. And what happened.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
His friend got him a pretty good job, but as
soon as he got to work, the underworld got busy
and tried to persuade him to come in with them
and make them real money. Told him he'd never succeed
honestly because of his prison record.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Did eagle wind with them? No, No, he.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Refused that he preferred to go straight, A wise decision, ordinarily, yes,
But the gang wouldn't let him go straight. They wanted
him to give them inside information about the place where
he worked. They threatened to frame him and have his
parole canceled so he'd be sent back to jail. But
what can those gangsters hope to gain.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
By such tactics?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
A recruit for their campaign of crime, inside information about
the place where the parole works, power over first offenders
and so forth. And where is Horton now back in
jail on a charge of robbery with a gun? Brained evidence?
I'm certain?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Mm? Do you wi?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
You consider the case big enough to enlist the services
of the Blue Beetle? In any case that affects the
welfare of the unfortunate is big enough to interest the
Blue Beetle?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
And what are you going to do?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I promise Mike Mannigan I'd help him investigate this case.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Jim Horton's father was a pall of Mike's.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Before he died, and Mike is interested in helping Jim.
I see, well, if there's anything I can do to
help Danny, you know, I'll be glad to do it. Thanks, Doc, Well,
I'll see you later. I'm going to meet Mannigan donn
a police headquarters.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Will you be back later to change into your blue
beetle chain armor and mask.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
If anything developed, I've got it all here in this
briefcase so I can make a quick change on the
job where he'll be careful, Danny boy, I worry dot
go on. What are you heading for him? Mike? The
(04:04):
old Empire warehouse is on Dark Street?
Speaker 2 (04:06):

is temporarily stunned by a blow on the head. Nosey,
one of Heinrich's henchmen, has been sent to cover up
the murder trail by running Heinrich Sudan off a cliff
(14:49):

of the Blue Beetle. As our story opens today, Manniguan

right always triumph. Further adventures of the Blue Beetle will
