Speaker 1 (00:08):
The Avenger.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
The road to crime ends in a trap that just
a sense crime does not pay.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
The Avenger, sworn enemy of evil, is actually Jim Brandon,
a famous biochemist. Through his numerous scientific experiments, Brandon has
perfected two inventions to aid him in his crusade against
prime as the Avenger, the telepathic indicator, by which he
is able to pick up thought flashes, and the secret
diffusion capital, which polts him in the black light of invisibilities.
Brandon's assistant, the beautiful Fern Tidier, is the only one
(01:59):
who shares his seat and knows that he is the
man the younger world fears as the Avenger, and now
the Avenger, and the mystery of the giant brain? Who
(02:22):
is it? Who's there? All right? All right, come in,
I'm a Saint Clair. Where are you going with all
that luggage? I'm leaving, professor leaving?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yes, and you need to pretend to be surprised. You
know why I'm going.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yes, you were upset about those animals from the zoo.
I believe yes that, among other things, Miss Saint Ferrett,
was absolutely necessary for me to have those animals. Our
experiments have gone farm beyond the stage of rabbits and mice.
I must have animals have a little more cunning, of course.
I I am sorry to have to steal them from
the zoo and neighboring farms, but that's the only way.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Well, I want no part of it.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
When I came here a year ago as your assistant,
I thought you were a reputable sign.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I am a great scientist, Miss Saint Clair, too great
to allow the petty evichs.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Perhaps you are a great professor, but have become cruel
and inhuman and the kind of man has no placement
in the laboratory that these experiments and brain surgery you're
making now are horrible.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
You think so, then perhaps you have decided to report
me to the police.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
No, I just want to get out of here and
have nothing further to do with you.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
You're a coward, Miss Saint Clair. You're afraid of what
the great Rodinald can accomplish. Why Rodonald's work is just beginning.
Look these three mechanical men, these robots I create it.
They're only in their infancy, yes.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I know they are. To look at them lined up there,
three iron monsters.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
That's what they are. You hate them because you fear
them In time, my robots will accomplish all that man
is too cowardly to Professor.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Please don't go on with this, Destroy them now before
it's too late.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Why, the Saint Clair, how can you talk like that
you help perfect them.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I didn't understand what you were doing.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
You will excuse me if I find that hard to believe.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
It's true.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Until a few weeks ago, these robots were merely harmless
servants of your will. Created you assured me, merely to
fetch and carry for you. Now you send them out
to cature animals for you, in the hope that in
time you will be able to create for them a.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Brave exactly, and that time is almost at hand. Just think,
the Saint Clair. Very soon I will no longer have
to control those robots as I do now. By the
magneto electric and the batteries Ivan's fall about the house, Ah,
they will have a mind and intelligence all their own.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
You're playing with madness and death, Professor, two marvelous experiments.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Madness and death.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
I see that there's no point in trying to reason
with you. But there is one other thing I'd like
to do before we go. Yes, I'd like to know
what has happened to doctor Giles.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I told you two weeks ago, I send him for
way on business.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I don't believe you.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
I think he left you just as I'm doing, because
he wanted nothing further to do with you and your robot.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Would you really like to know where doctor Giles is now?
Would you like to see him?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Sink there?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Doctor Giles is in my secret basement laboratory. I had
to lock him up in a little iron cage down there. Come,
I'll show you.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
No, No, you are a man. I'm going to please.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Robot one. Robot one, stop, let's.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Think there, carry her to the basement laboratory or one.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
You've always been curious about that secret labs story in
the same quis now I let you see it?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
All right, pern, I'm ready to dictate.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
Now, let me see. This is experiment two two seventy four,
isn't it?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
That's right?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Go ahead?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Subject A power increase on the telepathic indicator data increase
of two ambiers on direct current caused the head beard
to blow. However, when current was changed to alternating, reception
was not only maintained but increased.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
Oh Jim, you increased it. How wonderful.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I don't know exactly how much yet, but I think
it's a matter of a few miles pern We'll send
out a crew tomorrow, state to them a quarter of
a mile apart and experiment with their thought transmissions.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
Good, I'll make all the arrangements.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Now for the data on the strongest thought impressions I
picked up on the indicator today, I take this downfurn
fought waves receive from a greater distance than before, seemed
to have their origin in violence, but not death. Constant
static interference might indicate. But the thoughts were surrounded by
electricity at their origin.
Speaker 7 (06:57):
That's something new, isn't it, Jim.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Completely new, had these facts with you. The color impression
was gray gray, with a background of blue. Perhaps something
gray in color high enough to be seen against the
background of the sky, either a tower or plane. But
since there was no indication of movement, I'm inclined to
favor the tower.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
MM sounds as though we picked up the latent thought
waves of a media of maiden in disgrace.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
There you go, letting your romantic notions run away with
you again.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
Well, nothing seems to be impossible with that indicating.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
But if you'll review the facts, young lady, you'll realize
that your medieval maiden could scarcely have been surrounded by
electrical instruments of extremely high voltage.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
No, I suppose not unless the tower is struck by lighting.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I give up, you win. But to get back to
the facts, I'll make a note of this lease. I
also picked up an impression on the same thought wave
length of inarticulate suffering, something that could have emanated from
small children or animals. This impression was not as clear
as the others. A strange kind of impression, yes, and
all the more interesting in view of a story that
(08:03):
appeared in this morning's paper. Here taste this clipping in
beside those notes.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
What is it, jin?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
It's a story about some animals that were stolen recently
from the zoo at Midvale, also a raid on a
fox farm near there.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
What do you make of it? Jin?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Nothing yet, hearne. Do we have a legend method includes Midvale?
Speaker 7 (08:22):
Well, we have one for this entire county. Will that
do fine?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (08:24):
Where is it on the bottom shelf behind you?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Hie? Now let me see. Yeah, Midvale is exactly sixteen
miles of dew east from here. Yes, that's within the
radius of the indicator.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
Oh look, Jim, this footnote says in Midvale boasts of
several mansions of great architectural beauty that date back to
the early eighteen hundred.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Also boasts of several well known silver fox farms, all
of which ties in pretty well with the things we
already know.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Yeh heerne.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
How long will it take it back?
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Fifteenmail?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
All right, let's get moving. You and I are going
on a little trip to Midvale.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
Didn't how much? Father? Do you think it is to
mister Isa's pond.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Oh, we should be coming to it soon. Burn. Aren't
you enjoying the walk?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Sony?
Speaker 7 (09:08):
It's father than I expected. He must have walked at
least two miles since we left Midvale.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Well, it can't be fine enough, Jim.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
Why are you so anxious to talk with mister.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
R Because Joe iSER has reported four foxes stolen from
his palm within two weeks, and I think he may
be able to get us a few leads offul record.
Of course, Ah, that must be Iser's barn. Just to
head there.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Nobody should wait.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Wait, nobody's shooting at us. Our shots came from behind
that barn.
Speaker 7 (09:34):
Come on, go ahead, Jim, I can't keep up. Don't
There's a man running across the feat.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Hey, hey, you wait a minute, stop stop my hand,
stop bunny or bring it up. But I didn't.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I don't Sorry, I didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I did not take it easy. I didn't say you
killed anybody. But I couldn't let you run away. Sorry,
I to knock it down.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I was in the barn. I saw it all, but
I didn't kill him.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Kill who Joe.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Easdaan got him?
Speaker 7 (10:08):
Jim, Thank Heaven.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
The big man did it? The big man?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Come on, show us where eyeser is?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Come this way here back at the bar.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I suppose you tell me exactly what you saw. Well,
Joe caught the big man stealing two foxes. Joe shot him,
hit him four times. But the bullets can't hurt.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
The big man in the world is he talking about? Jim?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Hang the final fern.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
There he is, there's Joe Eisen See he's dead.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
A look.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Well, Jim, he's dead, all right, and four bullets have
been fired from this gun he's holding. We've got to
call the police. No, no, don't call the police. They'll
say I did it. They'll I'm going old. Are you're not?
You've got a lot of questions answered. What's your name,
h Harry Sampler? Just what were you doing here anyway?
(10:55):
And who's this big man you're talking about?
Speaker 7 (10:57):
Well?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I live around the hill there in the shack. I
come over here every day to help Joe with the
chorge and he gives me food. Now, Joe is good
to me. I wouldn't kill him. So today, while you
were helping either, this big man appeared and stole two foxes. Yeah,
that's tried. Joe started to shoot at him, but the
big man walked right through the bullets and hit Joe
(11:20):
over the head with his big iron hands.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
He killed Joe.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
The big man did. Oh, this is getting us nowhere
fastn I'm gonna call a Poe, I think, come on,
show me where eyes was? Telephone is? Harry? Well, Joe
ain't got no phone.
Speaker 7 (11:32):
What are we going to do? Jim?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Well, I've got to stay here and guard the place
until the police get here.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
But how can we get word to them?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Yeah, that's the question. I can't trust Harry to go,
and it's getting too late for you to go alone.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
Well, if I hurried Jim, maybe I can make it
into town before dawns.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Oh, no, Fern, there's a killer loose around here.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Somewhere. I think there's a phone over to the Great Towers.
But I wouldn't go in there. Uh, there's great towers
right around the findon up the.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
Road a piece, I'll go, Jim, I'm not afraid to
go that.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Far, all right, But before you go, take a look
at these footprints burn Oh my heaven, monster eh and
there are at least five feet between the strides.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
Jim, do you think there could possibly be anything to
this course out of story?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Oh, it's fantastic, of course. But either was killed by
a blow on the head, all right, he was struck
by some kind of blunt instrument.
Speaker 7 (12:20):
M I don't think we should trust this style. Harry.
Maybe he's not as harmless as he seem.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
After all, he couldn't thought Glory curn. I'm not trusting.
I'll keep Harry right here with me until you get back. Now,
you run along, I don't lose any time. I'll expect
you back here unless than half an hour. Oh so yeah,
I'm sure they gotta falling up the Gray Towers. But
I wouldn't go in there. I'd be afraid. It seems
to me you're afraid of just about everything. Harry. You'd
(12:46):
be afraid of the big iron men through if you
saw them. Well, all I've got to say is be
somebody had better see them, Harry, or your goose is cooked.
Even so, I'd prayfer to have a better alibi for
murder than I'm iron monstertution.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
To be.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
To mm hm. Now back to the Avenger and the
(14:33):
mystery of the giant brain. About to open the door. Oh,
don't be frightened, my dear. This is just a mechanical
man who acts as my servant. He's perfectly under control.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Come in, no, thank you, never mind, well don robot
two now close the door.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
You'll this monster to put me down?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Please, I just came to use the phone you were
sent to call the police. Where you're not.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
Oh, you don't understand a man's been murdered, or perhaps
you already knew that in.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
A very unfortunate incident, that that sort of thing is inevitable.
Sometimes people are stupid. They don't understand the needs of science.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
Please let me go. I'm expected back in town.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Oh you are needed here?
Speaker 7 (15:23):
I needed here? What for?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I need your brain? For my great experiment. You arrive
just in time, my brain. Yes, now I'll have three,
three human brains. Bring out to the secret doctory Robot two.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Oh no, let me down, let me go.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
No, you should struggle. The robot has his orders and
he will obey them.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Oh, you are a murderer.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Ce till die though he was just a little man
who's got my robot's way. But yours is to be
a greater honor than mere death. Who will sacrifice your
living brains of the great God science? A mere mortal
could ask no greater privilege.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Oh, let me go, Thank god. Robot three. I'll open
the cage.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Robot two. You put the beautiful lady inside. The Saint Clair,
Doctor Giles, I've brought you company. Why have you brought
this strange girl here? Rodonald, to share the fate I
have in store for you and the Saint Clair. My
uh worthy doctor?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
What are you talking about? Professor? Just what do you
intend to do with us?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Be patient a little longer. The Saint Clair come out
and close the door. Robot two. Now listen to all
of you. Tonight, the Mighty Rodano will perform the greatest
operation in the history of surgery. I will add three
human brains to the limiting animal brains I already have preserved. Wait,
(16:51):
i'll show you. Remove the heavy cover from that table
robot too, be careful not to break the glass case. Well,
what do you think of it?
Speaker 3 (17:02):
What is that horrible thing?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
It's moving, of course it's moving. It's alive. It's the composite,
living brain of fourteen animals.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
It's the most horrible thing I've ever seen. Even my
worst suspicions didn't prepare me for anything like this.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Hold on, the Saint Clair.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
We mustn't give up yet, a silent listen to me tonight.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I add three human brains to this, and then I'll
place them all within a special robot I've constructed. Then
the world will see a real man of iron, a
man of unlimited power and superlative wisdom, The Great Rodanno
will be worshiped as the creator of a new race.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Stop him, Stop him. I can't stand.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Anymore, Professor, Yes, what is it? Doctor childs? Perhaps we,
the Saint Claire and I deserve whatever fate you have
in store for us, Whether we meant to or not.
We did help you create the robots, But this strange
girl you've brought here. She had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Let her go free, Yes, professor, we don't need to
make the innocent suffer too.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Die. You do are coming? Yes, you know that if
I set you free, the police will be here in
five minutes. No, I tell you, I need you all
science needs you.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
How much longer have we then?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
One hour? One hour yet to live? Robot one will
bring you a fine dinner of roast duckling. We must
observe the rules of death. Condemned should eat both will
and heart of me.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Well, Harry, it was a lucky thing for us that
truck happened by, so we could get word to the police.
The police come mighty fairs, didn't they? Yes, and they
want to question both of us later, Harry. I promised
them we'd both come to police headquarters as soon as
I find out what's happened to Fern. They don't think
I did it, do they?
Speaker 7 (18:54):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
And if you promise me you will tell them exactly
what you saw, I'll give you a reward of ten dollars.
Ten dollars, Gee, I never saw that bunch money? Oh say, Harry,
is that great?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Hours?
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah? Yeah, that's the place that's where the Professor and
the big men live. Have you ever been inside the house, Harry? No,
nobody's allowed inside. All the doors and windows has big boats.
How do you know if you were ever inside? Well,
sometimes I climb up in that tree over there by
the garden and look in the window. And what did
you see from there? Harry? Well, that's how I first
(19:27):
saw the big men. But nobody believe me. They said
I made it up. I guess there's nothing for it
them but to try to get in by the front door.
Come on, Harry, Oh no, so not not me. I
wouldn't go in there. The big men kill people.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
All right.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
You climb up in the tree then and wait for me.
They sure, I'll wait. You said, I'm gonna get ten dollars.
That's right, I'll see you later, Yes, sir, nobody will
see me up in that tree.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Well, Professor, you're gonna have a visitor. When that door opens,
the avenger will step inside, and you'll be none the
wiser because my diffusion capsule will render me invisible. A
moment the door is opened, I'll break the capsule on letter.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
What's that noise? Who's out there? Who's out there? I'm
sure I heard a pecusion noise just as the door opened.
Who's there must have gone away?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Who over?
Speaker 7 (20:27):
It was?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Row About one closed the door and bolted. I'll follow me,
row about one, follow me closely, for in just a
few minutes we'd begin our great experiment.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Doctor Giles. The hour is almost up.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Yes, just a few minutes more.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Think of that that maniac's sending down all this food
is the wady of us could touch?
Speaker 7 (21:00):
Do you suppose that if we make all the noise
we can, somebody might hear us.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
There's not a chance of that.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
MS call you.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
This basement is soundproof.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Well, we certainly haven't anything to lose. You might as
well try it here. Each one, take a tim cup,
hit them against the bars as hard as you can,
and everybody shout at the same time.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
We'll say help. We're in the basement.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Ready, go Hell, we're in a basement.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Hell, we're in the basement.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
It's the robots. It's too late for any health.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Now go ahead, scream your heads off.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
No one can hear you. And God, robots, I'm going
to bring doctor Gians out of the cage. Now kill him.
If he tried it to get away, come, doctor gives
place him on the steel table. Robots here, I have
fastening his hands and feet.
Speaker 7 (21:55):
Oh, I can't look.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
He won't see anything. None of us will.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Attrists will stun him instantly. It's the only way the
brain can be removed and still remain alive.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Oh, don't spend a sign. Robots there in a line.
That's right. You want to be in my way. Every
split second count in this operation. Oh, we're ready. I'll
pull the switch. And no, you don't, Professor, who spoke?
Who's there?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
It's the Avenger?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Professor, I don't understand. Where is he?
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Where are you?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Avenger? How did you get in here?
Speaker 6 (22:27):
You see me?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
But I'm here, Professor, here to see that you're.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Brought to justice. Signed him. Robots Find the Avenger and
kill him. Kill the Avenger. Find him, robots, Professor Giles, Giles,
the Avenger is going to ruin my Experimentrofessor, set me free.
I'll help you here, Giles. You must help me. I'll
set you free. Help me Giles, help me find the Avenger.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Must kill him.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
He must be drain my experiments. Stuff for Giles. Be careful.
The robots focus last free No, no, you rope what
fools done?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
The rain is.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Robot?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Tell me, Giles, doctor child there's a robot behind you
on the corner. Where's the botary that controls these robots?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
It's over here.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I think I can read the girls. Childs. Tell me, well,
it's my first ray.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Can you reach the lottery Childs.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
These robunchs?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Yes, yes, I've got it. Now there are you all right?
Speaker 7 (23:26):
Giles?
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yes, and unlock that cage and get those women out
of there. Professor put the keys on the desk.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Here somewhere here they are.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Well.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
I never thought I'd get out of hero alive.
Speaker 7 (23:38):
But did I?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Is?
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Is the Professor dead?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yes? The Professor is dead. No one could save him
from his own creation. The Professor's giant brain was just
a boomerang. Giles. Yes, Avenger, call the police at once,
and when they get here, demonstrate how these robots work.
Otherwise they'll never believe your story.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
Right and well, Midvale is one town I'm glad to
(25:21):
leave behind me, Jim.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I don't blame you, Fern. You had a pretty narrow
escape last night.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
You vengeance saved doctor John's life by on new second gym.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I got that first moment I could Fern when you
didn't return to Wiser's place, I naturally became worried, But frankly,
I never expected to find anything as fantastic as the
Professor and his giant brain.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
Well, we can't say Harry didn't try it at once.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yes, he certainly did, and for once, the police and
everyone else in Midvale. We'll have to admit that the
truth in this case was more fantastic than any story
poor Harry ever dreamed up.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
Jim, what will happen to those robots now?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Well, they're just so much scrap iron without those control batteries,
and the police have confiscated those.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
About the giant brain, what will happen to that.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
It's being removed the State research laboratory? Naturally, the brain
is dead now, within five minutes of being exposed to
the air. It lost all its living properties. That would
have been a great disappointment to the professor.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
I'm glad it's dead. It was the most horrible thing
I ever saw, you know, Fern.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
At one time Professor Rodonna was a well respected scientist.
It's a shame that he went mad and used his
genius in the wrong direction.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
He was mad, all right. Did you know that he
sent us a delicious dinner of roast duckling last night,
just before he came down to kill us.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
No ha, And I suppose the thing that's worrying you
now is that you didn't eat it.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
Well, if I know how things were going to turn out,
I could have done justice to that document.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Well, don't you worry your pretty hair of it, Ferne.
I'll take you to Carlo's for dinner tonight.
Speaker 7 (26:47):
Oh wonderful.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I'm sure Carlo's roast duckling is just as good as Rodonna's,
and he doesn't reserve it for such special occasions. All characters, names, places,
and plots used in the Avenger program are fictitious. Any
similarity to persons living or dead is play coincidental. This
(27:14):
is a part a part of thought.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Remember listen for another adventure of
Speaker 2 (27:22):
The Avenger
The Avenger.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
The road to crime ends in a trap that just
a sense crime does not pay.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
The Avenger, sworn enemy of evil, is actually Jim Brandon,
a famous biochemist. Through his numerous scientific experiments, Brandon has
perfected two inventions to aid him in his crusade against
prime as the Avenger, the telepathic indicator, by which he
is able to pick up thought flashes, and the secret
diffusion capital, which polts him in the black light of invisibilities.
Brandon's assistant, the beautiful Fern Tidier, is the only one
(01:59):
who shares his seat and knows that he is the
man the younger world fears as the Avenger, and now
the Avenger, and the mystery of the giant brain? Who
(02:22):
is it? Who's there? All right? All right, come in,
I'm a Saint Clair. Where are you going with all
that luggage? I'm leaving, professor leaving?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yes, and you need to pretend to be surprised. You
know why I'm going.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yes, you were upset about those animals from the zoo.
I believe yes that, among other things, Miss Saint Ferrett,
was absolutely necessary for me to have those animals. Our
experiments have gone farm beyond the stage of rabbits and mice.
I must have animals have a little more cunning, of course.
I I am sorry to have to steal them from
the zoo and neighboring farms, but that's the only way.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Well, I want no part of it.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
When I came here a year ago as your assistant,
I thought you were a reputable sign.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I am a great scientist, Miss Saint Clair, too great
to allow the petty evichs.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Perhaps you are a great professor, but have become cruel
and inhuman and the kind of man has no placement
in the laboratory that these experiments and brain surgery you're
making now are horrible.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
You think so, then perhaps you have decided to report
me to the police.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
No, I just want to get out of here and
have nothing further to do with you.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
You're a coward, Miss Saint Clair. You're afraid of what
the great Rodinald can accomplish. Why Rodonald's work is just beginning.
Look these three mechanical men, these robots I create it.
They're only in their infancy, yes.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I know they are. To look at them lined up there,
three iron monsters.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
That's what they are. You hate them because you fear
them In time, my robots will accomplish all that man
is too cowardly to Professor.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Please don't go on with this, Destroy them now before
it's too late.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Why, the Saint Clair, how can you talk like that
you help perfect them.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I didn't understand what you were doing.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
You will excuse me if I find that hard to believe.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
It's true.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Until a few weeks ago, these robots were merely harmless
servants of your will. Created you assured me, merely to
fetch and carry for you. Now you send them out
to cature animals for you, in the hope that in
time you will be able to create for them a.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Brave exactly, and that time is almost at hand. Just think,
the Saint Clair. Very soon I will no longer have
to control those robots as I do now. By the
magneto electric and the batteries Ivan's fall about the house, Ah,
they will have a mind and intelligence all their own.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
You're playing with madness and death, Professor, two marvelous experiments.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Madness and death.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
I see that there's no point in trying to reason
with you. But there is one other thing I'd like
to do before we go. Yes, I'd like to know
what has happened to doctor Giles.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I told you two weeks ago, I send him for
way on business.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I don't believe you.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
I think he left you just as I'm doing, because
he wanted nothing further to do with you and your robot.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Would you really like to know where doctor Giles is now?
Would you like to see him?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Sink there?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Doctor Giles is in my secret basement laboratory. I had
to lock him up in a little iron cage down there. Come,
I'll show you.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
No, No, you are a man. I'm going to please.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Robot one. Robot one, stop, let's.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Think there, carry her to the basement laboratory or one.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
You've always been curious about that secret labs story in
the same quis now I let you see it?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
All right, pern, I'm ready to dictate.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
Now, let me see. This is experiment two two seventy four,
isn't it?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
That's right?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Go ahead?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Subject A power increase on the telepathic indicator data increase
of two ambiers on direct current caused the head beard
to blow. However, when current was changed to alternating, reception
was not only maintained but increased.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
Oh Jim, you increased it. How wonderful.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I don't know exactly how much yet, but I think
it's a matter of a few miles pern We'll send
out a crew tomorrow, state to them a quarter of
a mile apart and experiment with their thought transmissions.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
Good, I'll make all the arrangements.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Now for the data on the strongest thought impressions I
picked up on the indicator today, I take this downfurn
fought waves receive from a greater distance than before, seemed
to have their origin in violence, but not death. Constant
static interference might indicate. But the thoughts were surrounded by
electricity at their origin.
Speaker 7 (06:57):
That's something new, isn't it, Jim.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Completely new, had these facts with you. The color impression
was gray gray, with a background of blue. Perhaps something
gray in color high enough to be seen against the
background of the sky, either a tower or plane. But
since there was no indication of movement, I'm inclined to
favor the tower.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
MM sounds as though we picked up the latent thought
waves of a media of maiden in disgrace.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
There you go, letting your romantic notions run away with
you again.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
Well, nothing seems to be impossible with that indicating.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
But if you'll review the facts, young lady, you'll realize
that your medieval maiden could scarcely have been surrounded by
electrical instruments of extremely high voltage.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
No, I suppose not unless the tower is struck by lighting.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I give up, you win. But to get back to
the facts, I'll make a note of this lease. I
also picked up an impression on the same thought wave
length of inarticulate suffering, something that could have emanated from
small children or animals. This impression was not as clear
as the others. A strange kind of impression, yes, and
all the more interesting in view of a story that
(08:03):
appeared in this morning's paper. Here taste this clipping in
beside those notes.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
What is it, jin?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
It's a story about some animals that were stolen recently
from the zoo at Midvale, also a raid on a
fox farm near there.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
What do you make of it? Jin?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Nothing yet, hearne. Do we have a legend method includes Midvale?
Speaker 7 (08:22):
Well, we have one for this entire county. Will that
do fine?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (08:24):
Where is it on the bottom shelf behind you?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Hie? Now let me see. Yeah, Midvale is exactly sixteen
miles of dew east from here. Yes, that's within the
radius of the indicator.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
Oh look, Jim, this footnote says in Midvale boasts of
several mansions of great architectural beauty that date back to
the early eighteen hundred.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Also boasts of several well known silver fox farms, all
of which ties in pretty well with the things we
already know.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Yeh heerne.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
How long will it take it back?
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Fifteenmail?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
All right, let's get moving. You and I are going
on a little trip to Midvale.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
Didn't how much? Father? Do you think it is to
mister Isa's pond.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Oh, we should be coming to it soon. Burn. Aren't
you enjoying the walk?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Sony?
Speaker 7 (09:08):
It's father than I expected. He must have walked at
least two miles since we left Midvale.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Well, it can't be fine enough, Jim.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
Why are you so anxious to talk with mister.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
R Because Joe iSER has reported four foxes stolen from
his palm within two weeks, and I think he may
be able to get us a few leads offul record.
Of course, Ah, that must be Iser's barn. Just to
head there.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Nobody should wait.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Wait, nobody's shooting at us. Our shots came from behind
that barn.
Speaker 7 (09:34):
Come on, go ahead, Jim, I can't keep up. Don't
There's a man running across the feat.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Hey, hey, you wait a minute, stop stop my hand,
stop bunny or bring it up. But I didn't.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I don't Sorry, I didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I did not take it easy. I didn't say you
killed anybody. But I couldn't let you run away. Sorry,
I to knock it down.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I was in the barn. I saw it all, but
I didn't kill him.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Kill who Joe.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Easdaan got him?
Speaker 7 (10:08):
Jim, Thank Heaven.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
The big man did it? The big man?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Come on, show us where eyeser is?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Come this way here back at the bar.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I suppose you tell me exactly what you saw. Well,
Joe caught the big man stealing two foxes. Joe shot him,
hit him four times. But the bullets can't hurt.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
The big man in the world is he talking about? Jim?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Hang the final fern.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
There he is, there's Joe Eisen See he's dead.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
A look.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Well, Jim, he's dead, all right, and four bullets have
been fired from this gun he's holding. We've got to
call the police. No, no, don't call the police. They'll
say I did it. They'll I'm going old. Are you're not?
You've got a lot of questions answered. What's your name,
h Harry Sampler? Just what were you doing here anyway?
(10:55):
And who's this big man you're talking about?
Speaker 7 (10:57):
Well?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I live around the hill there in the shack. I
come over here every day to help Joe with the
chorge and he gives me food. Now, Joe is good
to me. I wouldn't kill him. So today, while you
were helping either, this big man appeared and stole two foxes. Yeah,
that's tried. Joe started to shoot at him, but the
big man walked right through the bullets and hit Joe
(11:20):
over the head with his big iron hands.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
He killed Joe.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
The big man did. Oh, this is getting us nowhere
fastn I'm gonna call a Poe, I think, come on,
show me where eyes was? Telephone is? Harry? Well, Joe
ain't got no phone.
Speaker 7 (11:32):
What are we going to do? Jim?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Well, I've got to stay here and guard the place
until the police get here.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
But how can we get word to them?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Yeah, that's the question. I can't trust Harry to go,
and it's getting too late for you to go alone.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
Well, if I hurried Jim, maybe I can make it
into town before dawns.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Oh, no, Fern, there's a killer loose around here.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Somewhere. I think there's a phone over to the Great Towers.
But I wouldn't go in there. Uh, there's great towers
right around the findon up the.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
Road a piece, I'll go, Jim, I'm not afraid to
go that.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Far, all right, But before you go, take a look
at these footprints burn Oh my heaven, monster eh and
there are at least five feet between the strides.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
Jim, do you think there could possibly be anything to
this course out of story?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Oh, it's fantastic, of course. But either was killed by
a blow on the head, all right, he was struck
by some kind of blunt instrument.
Speaker 7 (12:20):
M I don't think we should trust this style. Harry.
Maybe he's not as harmless as he seem.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
After all, he couldn't thought Glory curn. I'm not trusting.
I'll keep Harry right here with me until you get back. Now,
you run along, I don't lose any time. I'll expect
you back here unless than half an hour. Oh so yeah,
I'm sure they gotta falling up the Gray Towers. But
I wouldn't go in there. I'd be afraid. It seems
to me you're afraid of just about everything. Harry. You'd
(12:46):
be afraid of the big iron men through if you
saw them. Well, all I've got to say is be
somebody had better see them, Harry, or your goose is cooked.
Even so, I'd prayfer to have a better alibi for
murder than I'm iron monstertution.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
To be.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
To mm hm. Now back to the Avenger and the
(14:33):
mystery of the giant brain. About to open the door. Oh,
don't be frightened, my dear. This is just a mechanical
man who acts as my servant. He's perfectly under control.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Come in, no, thank you, never mind, well don robot
two now close the door.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
You'll this monster to put me down?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Please, I just came to use the phone you were
sent to call the police. Where you're not.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
Oh, you don't understand a man's been murdered, or perhaps
you already knew that in.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
A very unfortunate incident, that that sort of thing is inevitable.
Sometimes people are stupid. They don't understand the needs of science.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
Please let me go. I'm expected back in town.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Oh you are needed here?
Speaker 7 (15:23):
I needed here? What for?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I need your brain? For my great experiment. You arrive
just in time, my brain. Yes, now I'll have three,
three human brains. Bring out to the secret doctory Robot two.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Oh no, let me down, let me go.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
No, you should struggle. The robot has his orders and
he will obey them.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Oh, you are a murderer.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Ce till die though he was just a little man
who's got my robot's way. But yours is to be
a greater honor than mere death. Who will sacrifice your
living brains of the great God science? A mere mortal
could ask no greater privilege.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Oh, let me go, Thank god. Robot three. I'll open
the cage.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Robot two. You put the beautiful lady inside. The Saint Clair,
Doctor Giles, I've brought you company. Why have you brought
this strange girl here? Rodonald, to share the fate I
have in store for you and the Saint Clair. My
uh worthy doctor?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
What are you talking about? Professor? Just what do you
intend to do with us?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Be patient a little longer. The Saint Clair come out
and close the door. Robot two. Now listen to all
of you. Tonight, the Mighty Rodano will perform the greatest
operation in the history of surgery. I will add three
human brains to the limiting animal brains I already have preserved. Wait,
(16:51):
i'll show you. Remove the heavy cover from that table
robot too, be careful not to break the glass case. Well,
what do you think of it?
Speaker 3 (17:02):
What is that horrible thing?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
It's moving, of course it's moving. It's alive. It's the composite,
living brain of fourteen animals.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
It's the most horrible thing I've ever seen. Even my
worst suspicions didn't prepare me for anything like this.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Hold on, the Saint Clair.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
We mustn't give up yet, a silent listen to me tonight.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I add three human brains to this, and then I'll
place them all within a special robot I've constructed. Then
the world will see a real man of iron, a
man of unlimited power and superlative wisdom, The Great Rodanno
will be worshiped as the creator of a new race.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Stop him, Stop him. I can't stand.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Anymore, Professor, Yes, what is it? Doctor childs? Perhaps we,
the Saint Claire and I deserve whatever fate you have
in store for us, Whether we meant to or not.
We did help you create the robots, But this strange
girl you've brought here. She had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Let her go free, Yes, professor, we don't need to
make the innocent suffer too.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Die. You do are coming? Yes, you know that if
I set you free, the police will be here in
five minutes. No, I tell you, I need you all
science needs you.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
How much longer have we then?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
One hour? One hour yet to live? Robot one will
bring you a fine dinner of roast duckling. We must
observe the rules of death. Condemned should eat both will
and heart of me.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Well, Harry, it was a lucky thing for us that
truck happened by, so we could get word to the police.
The police come mighty fairs, didn't they? Yes, and they
want to question both of us later, Harry. I promised
them we'd both come to police headquarters as soon as
I find out what's happened to Fern. They don't think
I did it, do they?
Speaker 7 (18:54):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
And if you promise me you will tell them exactly
what you saw, I'll give you a reward of ten dollars.
Ten dollars, Gee, I never saw that bunch money? Oh say, Harry,
is that great?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Hours?
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah? Yeah, that's the place that's where the Professor and
the big men live. Have you ever been inside the house, Harry? No,
nobody's allowed inside. All the doors and windows has big boats.
How do you know if you were ever inside? Well,
sometimes I climb up in that tree over there by
the garden and look in the window. And what did
you see from there? Harry? Well, that's how I first
(19:27):
saw the big men. But nobody believe me. They said
I made it up. I guess there's nothing for it
them but to try to get in by the front door.
Come on, Harry, Oh no, so not not me. I
wouldn't go in there. The big men kill people.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
All right.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
You climb up in the tree then and wait for me.
They sure, I'll wait. You said, I'm gonna get ten dollars.
That's right, I'll see you later, Yes, sir, nobody will
see me up in that tree.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Well, Professor, you're gonna have a visitor. When that door opens,
the avenger will step inside, and you'll be none the
wiser because my diffusion capsule will render me invisible. A
moment the door is opened, I'll break the capsule on letter.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
What's that noise? Who's out there? Who's out there? I'm
sure I heard a pecusion noise just as the door opened.
Who's there must have gone away?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Who over?
Speaker 7 (20:27):
It was?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Row About one closed the door and bolted. I'll follow me,
row about one, follow me closely, for in just a
few minutes we'd begin our great experiment.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Doctor Giles. The hour is almost up.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Yes, just a few minutes more.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Think of that that maniac's sending down all this food
is the wady of us could touch?
Speaker 7 (21:00):
Do you suppose that if we make all the noise
we can, somebody might hear us.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
There's not a chance of that.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
MS call you.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
This basement is soundproof.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Well, we certainly haven't anything to lose. You might as
well try it here. Each one, take a tim cup,
hit them against the bars as hard as you can,
and everybody shout at the same time.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
We'll say help. We're in the basement.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Ready, go Hell, we're in a basement.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Hell, we're in the basement.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
It's the robots. It's too late for any health.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Now go ahead, scream your heads off.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
No one can hear you. And God, robots, I'm going
to bring doctor Gians out of the cage. Now kill him.
If he tried it to get away, come, doctor gives
place him on the steel table. Robots here, I have
fastening his hands and feet.
Speaker 7 (21:55):
Oh, I can't look.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
He won't see anything. None of us will.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Attrists will stun him instantly. It's the only way the
brain can be removed and still remain alive.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Oh, don't spend a sign. Robots there in a line.
That's right. You want to be in my way. Every
split second count in this operation. Oh, we're ready. I'll
pull the switch. And no, you don't, Professor, who spoke?
Who's there?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
It's the Avenger?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Professor, I don't understand. Where is he?
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Where are you?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Avenger? How did you get in here?
Speaker 6 (22:27):
You see me?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
But I'm here, Professor, here to see that you're.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Brought to justice. Signed him. Robots Find the Avenger and
kill him. Kill the Avenger. Find him, robots, Professor Giles, Giles,
the Avenger is going to ruin my Experimentrofessor, set me free.
I'll help you here, Giles. You must help me. I'll
set you free. Help me Giles, help me find the Avenger.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Must kill him.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
He must be drain my experiments. Stuff for Giles. Be careful.
The robots focus last free No, no, you rope what
fools done?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
The rain is.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Robot?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Tell me, Giles, doctor child there's a robot behind you
on the corner. Where's the botary that controls these robots?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
It's over here.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I think I can read the girls. Childs. Tell me, well,
it's my first ray.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Can you reach the lottery Childs.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
These robunchs?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Yes, yes, I've got it. Now there are you all right?
Speaker 7 (23:26):
Giles?
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yes, and unlock that cage and get those women out
of there. Professor put the keys on the desk.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Here somewhere here they are.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Well.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
I never thought I'd get out of hero alive.
Speaker 7 (23:38):
But did I?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Is?
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Is the Professor dead?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yes? The Professor is dead. No one could save him
from his own creation. The Professor's giant brain was just
a boomerang. Giles. Yes, Avenger, call the police at once,
and when they get here, demonstrate how these robots work.
Otherwise they'll never believe your story.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
Right and well, Midvale is one town I'm glad to
(25:21):
leave behind me, Jim.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I don't blame you, Fern. You had a pretty narrow
escape last night.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
You vengeance saved doctor John's life by on new second gym.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I got that first moment I could Fern when you
didn't return to Wiser's place, I naturally became worried, But frankly,
I never expected to find anything as fantastic as the
Professor and his giant brain.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
Well, we can't say Harry didn't try it at once.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yes, he certainly did, and for once, the police and
everyone else in Midvale. We'll have to admit that the
truth in this case was more fantastic than any story
poor Harry ever dreamed up.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
Jim, what will happen to those robots now?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Well, they're just so much scrap iron without those control batteries,
and the police have confiscated those.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
About the giant brain, what will happen to that.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
It's being removed the State research laboratory? Naturally, the brain
is dead now, within five minutes of being exposed to
the air. It lost all its living properties. That would
have been a great disappointment to the professor.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
I'm glad it's dead. It was the most horrible thing
I ever saw, you know, Fern.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
At one time Professor Rodonna was a well respected scientist.
It's a shame that he went mad and used his
genius in the wrong direction.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
He was mad, all right. Did you know that he
sent us a delicious dinner of roast duckling last night,
just before he came down to kill us.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
No ha, And I suppose the thing that's worrying you
now is that you didn't eat it.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
Well, if I know how things were going to turn out,
I could have done justice to that document.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Well, don't you worry your pretty hair of it, Ferne.
I'll take you to Carlo's for dinner tonight.
Speaker 7 (26:47):
Oh wonderful.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I'm sure Carlo's roast duckling is just as good as Rodonna's,
and he doesn't reserve it for such special occasions. All characters, names, places,
and plots used in the Avenger program are fictitious. Any
similarity to persons living or dead is play coincidental. This
(27:14):
is a part a part of thought.
