Speaker 1 (00:00):
Buck Rogers in the twenty fifth centuries.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Buck Rogers is on the air, brought to you by
the makers of Popsicle, Fudgical and Creamsicle, those delicious frozen
confections on a steak, and now a message from the
famous winner of the Typical American Boy contest Popsicle Teeth.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Hello, fellows and girls, you know what our gang did.
We all save bags from popsicle, fudgical and creamsicle and
got a whole baseball outfits for the team, bulls, gloves
and everything.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Boy there, swell, I get mom and dad and everybody
to help you save bags from genuine popsicle, creamsicle and
fudgical and get your choice of hundreds of marvelous gifts.
Get a wristwatch, a camera, table, tennis, or wallet, lots
of things. Bags are easy to save because they come
on such swell tasting confections. Great big, pure popsicle, pudgicle

(01:02):
and creamsicle, each on a handy stick.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
What a value for a nickel.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
So big and so delicious, I'll say, and made by
the finest ice cream makers from choice, helpful, strictly fresh ingredients.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Say kid, get a giftless free from your ice cream
store and save it. It's got a coupon on it
worth ten bags.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Now do you remember our last episode, Well, Buck and
Wilmath finally got on the trail of Black Barney's rocket ship,
and we learned that Killer Kane and Ourdela with Barney
as their prisoner, had landed at the ruins of ancient Philadelphia,
where they're going to set up a new headquarters. Let's
join them there and see how things are working out. Okay,
then here we go five hundred years into the future.

Speaker 5 (01:50):
Well, Kane, what do we do now?

Speaker 4 (01:52):
We make a little trip on the ground to establish
a base of operations Adela and what was formerly the
headquarters the Professor Smith, the mad scientist Gorgio's Smoothi's old place. Huh,
that's what I said. Come on, okay, and handle that
psychic restriction ray with care. Okay, No, but where.

Speaker 6 (02:09):
Are we going?

Speaker 5 (02:10):
I don't see anything around here that looks like it
might be Smith's old headquarters.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
Right in front of you. Do you see that all
on the ground, Yeah, an old set of concrete stairs
running down into it. Well away. Back in the twentieth
and twenty first centuries, there was a network of subway
lines running all along under the whole city. And that
was before the Mongol invasion destroyed most of the principal
American cities but.

Speaker 5 (02:30):
One under the Summer subway line.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Ever see pictures of railroad trains in your history books.
Sure well, the subways were railroads that ran entirely underground.
There writ a lot of traffic from the already congested
streets on the surface, and all that sort of thing. Yeah,
all that solor Stuffun't you.

Speaker 5 (02:47):
Say, Maybe the people who lived in those times weren't
so dumb after all.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
No, but if our friend Rogers weren't so dumb, he'd
have stayed in the twentieth century where he belonged.

Speaker 7 (02:57):
Came you and all, just as well as me, the Captain,
I just didn't come to the twenty fifth century. On
perfect He got caught in a mine accident and a
lot of guys come out of it, and he was
held in suspended animation, and all that sort of stuff.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
Forget at Bonnie. The point is that when Smith came here,
he found an ancient subway station located down near the
edge of the Delaware River here that was good enough
to make it away headquarters. You ought to remember that, Bonnie,
you worked with Smith at one time. Yeah, that was
before I knowed any better.

Speaker 7 (03:30):
Smithy had it all fixed up with lights and a
power planet and and.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
All that sort of stuff and things. And that's why
we're lucky in having everything ready for us to settle
down here.

Speaker 5 (03:42):
Yes, but I still think a fucking wim I get
anywhere near here, they'll pick this as a logical place
to look for.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
Even if they do, they'll never find us. Come along
now down the stairway. Listen, I don't want to go
down the lane. Do I have to keep a rocket
pistol trained on you to make you do as I say?
You can't make me work for you any harm? Quiet,
I pick up that psychic which fiction ray and come along.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Okay, okay, right down these taps right now.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
What used to be Smith's office is at the end
of a corridor at the bottom.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
Here's the corridor. All right, Hey, how about some light
down here? You can't play very well?

Speaker 4 (04:20):
Wait a second and I'll see if the lighting system
is still in order. Ah, that's better much.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
Hey, there's quite an establishment down here.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Isn't There Everything you could want for comfort and convenience.
Now this on the right was his office quarters are
down the corridor on the left. Wait a minute, can
why yes, that little waterfall down at the end of
this room. I wonder how that got there?

Speaker 7 (04:48):
WHOA I can tell you well, well, Bud, in the
old days when I was a solder of foolish and
thought I was a air pirate, you'd be better off
if you were still an air pirate. Bonnie, I'll circain
and nothing of you will go on with your story. Yeah. Well,

(05:08):
one time me and Loie were down here, had given
Smitty a hand whose louis Ohie Loi he was sort
of my right hand man, and all that sort of
stuff go on. Well, Lloyd didn't like Smitty, and Smitty nodded,
so he kept treating Louie worse and worse, until one
day Louie got mad and cut loose with the atomic

(05:29):
bomb and blow the place up.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
Blew the place up.

Speaker 7 (05:32):
Woh, didn't exactly do very much damage, and account of
it wasn't said very good. But it led through some
of the water from the Delaware River, and that's what
makes the fall.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
And the door tosmiss O Laboratory ought to be right
behind that waterfall. Yeah, yeah, I guess so unless somebody's
changed it. Somebody's changed it. Who's changed it? Oh? Somebody?
Or that is?

Speaker 7 (06:04):
I mean, well maybe somebody come alone?

Speaker 4 (06:08):
What your men? Yes, we've got to find out at
the door of the laboratory is in back of that waterfall. Well,
and how'd you like to hop through it and see why?
I keep an eye on black Bonnie get.

Speaker 5 (06:19):
Oh and get soaking wet.

Speaker 6 (06:21):
Not much, kine.

Speaker 5 (06:23):
If you want to find out what's on the other
side of the waterfall, you can do it yourself. I'll
make Bonny do it.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
Hey take a chance on that being some way for
him to beat it on the other side.

Speaker 5 (06:33):
Okay, then it's.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
Up to you.

Speaker 5 (06:35):
See why that laboratory should be of such importance to you?

Speaker 4 (06:38):
Anyway, If the water hasn't flooded that laboratory, we'll find
electrical and scientific instruments that will mean everything to us.

Speaker 5 (06:46):
If that isn't flooded.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
That's exactly what we're going to find out.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
Now, what you're going to find out?

Speaker 4 (06:51):
Go ahead, No, wait a minute, a false raid. Give
me one of those non recoil energy projectors.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
Sure here, what are you gonna.

Speaker 6 (07:01):
Do with it.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
Use it to push the water aside and keep from
getting wet.

Speaker 5 (07:05):
Oh sorry, sorry, yeah, I thought we were going to
have the pleasure of watching you take a gocain.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
Never mind that. Just be sure you keep Bonnie here
covered with your rocket pistol now here. Hey, that's pretty good, Kane.

Speaker 7 (07:23):
He will retain to it.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
It's the laboratory, all right, Adellan, and its perfect condition.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
I'll move back to the water with this sport ray while
you and Bonnie go in, and then you can do
the thing.

Speaker 6 (07:34):
For me with yours.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Right, I'm on, Bunny, Okay, I be sure you don't
let that ray machine get wet.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Oh all right, that's it. Put the psychic restriction ray
down inside the door here. Well, no, I'll vote it down,
I said. Well, listen, what's the hurry on the love?

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Take it easy here, all right, come ahead, bye, Well
that's just better.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
Get all the way inside the laboratory so we can
close this door. That's it, And this, my friends, is
our new headquarters.

Speaker 5 (08:16):
Not bad, king, not bad, not.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
Bad, It's perfect. And look at these scientific instruments. Smith
may have been a bit bomby, but he's certainly left
us some priceless equipment here, and with that waterfall covering
up the door, nobody in the whole wide world would
ever discover us here.

Speaker 5 (08:34):
No, why shouldn't somebody else look behind the falls for
the door to.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
This place, because nobody else knows this place is here.

Speaker 6 (08:40):
I hope you're right.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
I know I am. Come on, let's get to work now.
The first thing we're about to do is to put
Barney under the psychic restriction rate h plugging into that
power outlet.

Speaker 7 (08:51):
William, Sure listen, King, is all you think about? The
cycle is scripture? Y?

Speaker 4 (08:56):
I'm not going under. See. You haven't any choice on
the amount of Bonnie unless you decide to work along
with us voluntarily. How about it? No, sir, No, sir,
I don't know what volunteerly means, and but I won't
do it.

Speaker 7 (09:12):
That's finally, yes, sir. And nothing you can say will
make any different.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
Than the ray it is. Let me have that false
ray of del cane. Get down on the floor of
the ray projector, Bonnie, who knows you can make down?

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (09:27):
They think that forsey off of me?

Speaker 6 (09:29):
What it wants?

Speaker 4 (09:30):
A big lad on your back, Bonnie, and right under
the projector, Lene, staying off me. I tell you you're
pushing me right through the floor. If you don't stop following,
I will push you through the floor. All right, all right,
all right, off stays always still? How is then with?
All right? Fir now, Bonnie? I warn you if you

(09:51):
try to get out of range of the psychic restriction rate,
I'll drive so much energy at you that you will
never get up again. Yes, on the ring? Right? Perfect?

Speaker 7 (10:11):
Okay, it ain't perfect. And if you've got any censure,
you'll turn it off again. You imp can turn it
off this thing. You won't have no effect on me anyhow.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Fie up on anything. I don't find it much easier
if you don't try to make so much noise.

Speaker 7 (10:28):
But delight from it.

Speaker 6 (10:31):
It hurts my eyes.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
You are crazy. I don't like it anyhow.

Speaker 7 (10:35):
It's to take it away and anyhow if you think
this or anything else is going to make me work
for you?

Speaker 6 (10:41):
Why good?

Speaker 4 (10:42):
You're out of my mind? Do you understand? You? Ud?
You're this ocay? Yeah? You know it's funny? This again?
So bad? After all? Is it?

Speaker 7 (11:00):
Yeah? I kind of I think I like it.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
It's yeah, it's working that daily good And from now on,
Bonnie is ours. Regae.

Speaker 7 (11:14):
It's so nice and prety and beautiful and still yeah, let.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
The brave Captain Rogers pay to upset our plans. Now
Rogers Central Radio Bureau, Davidson speaking.

Speaker 6 (11:39):
Listen to Dave. This is Buck Rogers.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
Oh hello, Captain, contact.

Speaker 6 (11:42):
Doctor Huer again for me.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Tell him we're still on Black Barney's rocket trail and
following it with a gas analyzer.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
Good, but there's he found that it leads almost directly
southeast of Niagara.

Speaker 6 (11:50):
In a straight line. I see. But now, other words,
toward the ruins of ancient Philadelphia, which would make an
ideal headquarters for a person like Killer Kane.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
But Captain I told.

Speaker 6 (11:58):
You before, Dave.

Speaker 8 (11:59):
The more I think of it, the more I feel
he's somehow connected with the disappearance of Barney.

Speaker 6 (12:04):
Now, well, you got all that to doctor Huart just
as quickly as possible.

Speaker 8 (12:06):
But Captain, yeah, I've been trying to tell you. Doctor
Huer called here just a few minutes ago and he
let the message for you.

Speaker 6 (12:12):
Oh yeah, what'd he say?

Speaker 8 (12:13):
He wants you and Lieutenant Willman to return to Niagara
immediately and meet him at his laboratory.

Speaker 6 (12:18):
But we can't. We're hot on this trail for the
first time. We can't leave it now.

Speaker 8 (12:22):
Well, I'm sorry, Captain, but he made it plain that
no matter where you were or what you might be doing,
he wants you in his laboratory before you go any further.

Speaker 4 (12:29):
Hmmm, well, if he wants us to leave a hot trail,
it must be important to judging by the way he spoke,
gets dog gone important.

Speaker 6 (12:36):
Okay, Dave, tell him we're on our way back.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
So Caina and Ardela have poor old black Barney under
the influence of the psychic restriction ray, the instrument that
completely subjugates him to their wills. It'll make him not
only willing, but glad to work with him. But I
wonder what doctor Hure has up his sleeve.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Just imagine waking up in the morning and finding a
package waiting for you. If you open up and boy,
there's a real wristwatch, or a doll or fishing tackle
or roller skates or maybe even a movie camera. Now,
all you have to do is save bags from popsicle,
fudgical or creamsicle, and you get all those presents free,

(13:26):
hundreds of them to choose from.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
It's fun saving bags from popsicle Fudgicle or creamsicle.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
They taste so good and they're so big for a nickel.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
I'm having a Fudgico right now.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Kids, a fudgicle, real creamy chocolate fudge frozen on a stick.
Is that delicious? I'm sure the name Fudgicle is printed
on the bag. It's the United States registered trademark.

them
