00:03:30After all, this is your off-duty period.
00:03:32We can report at once, Mr. Secretary.
00:03:34Very good, Rocky.
00:03:36♪♪♪
00:03:41Well, I kissed the beautiful girls goodbye.
00:03:44And the gay nightlife.
00:03:45And the gay nightlife.
00:03:47But I'm not giving up yet.
00:03:48♪♪♪
00:03:59Rocky, this could turn into a mission.
00:04:03Well, that's all right, sir.
00:04:05I can take care of cancelling our vacation plans, I guess.
00:04:09Perhaps I should assign someone else to the mission.
00:04:12Mickey's only ribbing, Mr. Secretary.
00:04:14That's right. We'd rather ride the rocket, sir.
00:04:16Make yourselves comfortable.
00:04:20I don't know where this problem is going to lead.
00:04:23It's a job of troubleshooting.
00:04:27Well, you know us.
00:04:28We're not happy unless we're in trouble.
00:04:31I mean...
00:04:32I know what you mean, Winnie.
00:04:34First, I'll fill you in on some of the details.
00:04:38The United Worlds, as you know, are fortifying the planetoid CASA-7
00:04:43as a joint control station for our entire solar system.
00:04:47Oh, yes.
00:04:48Professor Newton told us something about the project.
00:04:50In preparing CASA-7,
00:04:52each of the United Worlds is furnishing strategic
00:04:54and, in most cases, restricted materials.
00:04:58But lately, there have been disturbing reports
00:05:00of cargo spaceships vanishing on the way to CASA-7.
00:05:06Yes, Higgins?
00:05:07We're in contact by visiograph with Mars, sir.
00:05:10They request Secretary Drake.
00:05:12I'll take it on my receiver.
00:05:15This is Drake, speaking from Earth.
00:05:18Speaking from Mars, Runas here.
00:05:21This is the final report on our supply spaceship,
00:05:24double M, en route to CASA-7.
00:05:26It is now two moon cycles overdue.
00:05:29We must presume it to be lost.
00:05:32Space rangers are being assigned immediately
00:05:34to investigate the entire situation of Mars.
00:05:37I'm afraid we can't do that, sir.
00:05:40Space rangers are being assigned immediately
00:05:42to investigate the entire situation of missing cargo ships.
00:05:45I know you'll keep us informed, Mr. Secretary.
00:05:48You'll have a report within solar month.
00:05:50Greetings from Earth, Runas.
00:05:52Greetings from Mars, Secretary Drake.
00:06:01You heard.
00:06:02That's the third spaceship vanished within a week.
00:06:05You know, of course, sir,
00:06:06that Veno's on our way to CASA-7 on a cargo ship.
00:06:09That's right, sir.
00:06:10Rocky's been trying to call Veno.
00:06:11I've been unable to make contact.
00:06:13And frankly, sir, I'm a bit worried.
00:06:15We'll put your mind at ease.
00:06:20Higgins.
00:06:21Yes, sir?
00:06:23Get a report from CASA-7.
00:06:25I want to know if cargo spaceship CM-7 has landed.
00:06:29We'll have word in a few minutes, Rocky.
00:06:31We want to find out what's happening to the cargo ships.
00:06:34Oh, I'm sure it can be done, sir,
00:06:36by using our space stations.
00:06:38You're the troubleshooter, Rocky.
00:06:39Run down every possibility.
00:06:42We've got to find the answer,
00:06:43or there'll be repercussions throughout our entire system.
00:06:48The report from CASA-7, sir.
00:06:50Let's have it.
00:06:51Spaceship CM-7 was last heard from
00:06:54as it was about to enter the gravity field for the approach.
00:06:56Since then, there's been no word from the ship.
00:06:59All efforts to make contact with it have failed.
00:07:02CM-7 has disappeared into space.
00:07:04Thank you, Higgins.
00:07:07With your permission, sir,
00:07:08I'd like to start by tracing spaceship CM-7.
00:07:10Of course. This mission is in your hands.
00:07:12Good. We can blast off within the hour.
00:07:14Winky.
00:07:21Get the orbit jet ready for blast off, Winky.
00:07:23I'm going to see Professor Newton for a moment.
00:07:25The rockets will be ready to roar.
00:07:37There.
00:07:38Now, we'll have to give this at least a four-hour exposure, Bobby.
00:07:43Well, that's a marvelous one yet.
00:07:49Oh, Rocky,
00:07:50we're making some wonderful pictures of Scorpus with hydrogen light.
00:07:54What we need are some trick snapshots of CASA-7.
00:07:58Your tone tells me there's trouble.
00:08:01Perhaps.
00:08:02But I don't know what it is, Professor.
00:08:04Except that it concerns CASA-7.
00:08:07Secretary Drake will tell you the whole story.
00:08:10This much I wanted you to know.
00:08:12The ship Vena's on has vanished into space.
00:08:16I want to help, Rocky.
00:08:17Please let me help.
00:08:19This is one time I'd like to say no, Bobby,
00:08:22but I can't.
00:08:24Thanks, Rocky.
00:08:25Thanks a million.
00:08:26You won't be sorry.
00:08:27We'll find Vena.
00:08:29You bet we will.
00:08:30Now, run along and get packed.
00:08:32Meet us at the blast-off platform.
00:08:38Professor Newton,
00:08:41I don't know where this flight is going to take us.
00:08:43Maybe to the far limits of our solar system.
00:08:46Is there something you wish to ask me, Rocky?
00:08:48Yes, Professor.
00:08:49Is there anything, any new discovery still held secret that might help us?
00:08:55Yes, there is.
00:08:58Yes, there is.
00:09:00But I've been fearful of even discussing it.
00:09:04Wrongly used, it could have cataclysmic results.
00:09:08Vena's life may be at stake.
00:09:12Come.
00:09:13I'll show you.
00:09:15I'll show you the power of cold light.
00:09:18Cold light?
00:09:28Cold light.
00:09:35As long as our auxiliary power holds out, we can use the visiograph.
00:09:39Can we contact anyone on it?
00:09:41No, we can see what's ahead of us on it, and that's about all.
00:09:49As near as I can tell, we're traveling at a constant speed.
00:09:53Reggie, we're alone in space without a rocket.
00:09:58No, we're not, Reggie.
00:10:07They must have seen us.
00:10:09The ship was coming in our direction.
00:10:11I couldn't identify it. It didn't have any markings.
00:10:13It may have come from Casa 7.
00:10:15We'll soon find out.
00:10:28Can they come alongside us?
00:10:29Yes, I'm sure the magnetic lock's in operation.
00:10:34Well, they're alongside.
00:10:37Probably aligning the airlock hatch.
00:10:46They've reached the hatch. We're connected now.
00:10:58They've reached the hatch. We're connected now.
00:11:16Are you from Casa 7?
00:11:18No.
00:11:19On Casa 7, they don't even know you're alive.
00:11:22And you're the ones who neutralized our equipment.
00:11:25You're real bright to figure that out for yourself.
00:11:27I'll get to the cargo room.
00:11:29Relax, or you won't be alive.
00:11:55Oh, my God!
00:12:25Vina, your space gun.
00:12:30If you have to, use it. Ask questions later.
00:12:34I'll get through to Casa 7 on the astrophone in their ship.
00:12:55Keep an eye on him, Doc.
00:13:01Go over there.
00:13:02I'll use the gun if I have to.
00:13:05Hurry up!
00:13:11Keep an eye on him, Doc.
00:13:16Keep an eye on him, Doc.
00:13:19Go over there.
00:13:21I'll use the gun if I have to.
00:13:23Hurry up!
00:13:25Now, Veena, you'll drop it.
00:13:32Get over there.
00:13:35Nice work.
00:13:37You're a couple of smart operators.
00:13:39Only you don't have any brains.
00:13:42Now see if you can get their cargo into our ship without tripping over it.
00:13:55So, Rinkman, you've ended up as a space pirate.
00:13:59At least you can't sink any lower.
00:14:02It's a very profitable business, Veena.
00:14:04Once you get it, you destroy spaceships.
00:14:15You won't be harmed.
00:14:17We've just neutralized your ship's rockets and equipment.
00:14:21Why are we still in normal flight?
00:14:23You're not.
00:14:24You're revolving around Casa 7 in a fixed orbit,
00:14:28just like the moon revolves around the Earth.
00:14:31How?
00:14:32We cut your power and neutralized your equipment
00:14:35when your ellipse speed balanced against the gravity of Casa 7.
00:14:39That's what happened to the other ships you've pirated.
00:14:41That's right.
00:14:43You'll be revolving around Casa 7 for the next million years
00:14:47or until a piece of meteoric waste hits the ship.
00:14:51To make sure you're not identified,
00:14:53I'll have the markings removed from your ship.
00:14:56You have found a new way to commit murder.
00:14:59Oh, don't give me any credit, Veena.
00:15:01Dr. Vanko worked it out.
00:15:03I just make sure that no other spaceship bothers you.
00:15:06I'm sure.
00:15:22Franklin, that's the last of it.
00:15:25I'll send your pilot back.
00:15:29Oh, I almost forgot.
00:15:31In case you're expecting help from Rocky Jones, forget it.
00:15:35I've got a decoy spaceship waiting for him.
00:15:38The orbit jet will be blown to bits.
00:15:45The orbit jet is going to be blown to bits.
00:15:48The orbit jet is going to be blown to bits.
00:16:06Do we have a chance?
00:16:09No use kidding ourselves, Veena.
00:16:11It's like a million-to-one shot that we'll ever be seen.
00:16:15Like finding a tiny fragment in infinite space.
00:16:19Until our food gives out or a meteorite hits us.
00:16:23That's the deal, Veena.
00:16:28Right now I'm hungry. I'll get lunch.
00:16:32Right now I'm hungry. I'll get lunch.
00:16:48Winky, what's our position?
00:16:54Let me see if I can read it.
00:16:56Hey, what are you trying to do, get my job as navigator?
00:16:59Well, you know I wouldn't take anything that's yours or Rocky's.
00:17:02Go ahead and read it, boy.
00:17:05Position celestial meridian longitude 219 degrees, 20 minutes.
00:17:11Celestial parallel latitude 76 degrees, 4 minutes.
00:17:17Good work, Bobby.
00:17:18Oh, Winky.
00:17:19Yeah, Rocky.
00:17:20I've contacted CASA 7.
00:17:22They still have no word from Veena's spaceship.
00:17:25Well, maybe we better start scanning the radar, Vex, huh?
00:17:28Good idea. Our flight will take us into CASA's atmosphere.
00:17:32Hey, Winky.
00:17:33A spaceship at 5 o'clock.
00:17:39Can you identify it?
00:17:42Yeah, it's a Mars spaceship. The Double M.
00:17:45The ship that was reported lost.
00:17:49XV2 calling spaceship Mars Double M.
00:17:52Come in, Double M.
00:17:55This is XV2 calling spaceship Mars Double M. Come in.
00:17:59It's turned 15 degrees off horizontal.
00:18:02The ship's damaged, Rocky.
00:18:04Bobby's right.
00:18:06The astrophone must be out.
00:18:08Secure. We're going alongside.
00:18:11We just missed being smeared all over the galaxy.
00:18:14No wonder they didn't answer our signal.
00:18:16Sure, they were leading us to the slaughter.
00:18:18The Double M was lost,
00:18:20but apparently she's been found by enemies who are aboard now.
00:18:23Well, do we run or fight?
00:18:26Prepare to fire starboard rocket.
00:18:28Aye, aye, sir.
00:18:30We're going to launch.
00:18:31We're going to launch.
00:18:32We're going to launch.
00:18:33We're going to launch.
00:18:34We're going to launch.
00:18:35We're going to launch.
00:18:36We're going to launch.
00:18:37We're going to launch.
00:18:38We're going to launch.
00:18:39Aye, aye, sir.
00:18:47I'll arc over the ship at R-400.
00:18:49Release rockets on count five.
00:18:54Starting run.
00:18:56One, two...
00:19:02Three, four, five.
00:19:06Well, the Double M just became the scrambled M.
00:19:09Log the incident, Winky,
00:19:11so that a full report can be sent to Mars Space Headquarters.
00:19:14What did you hit?
00:19:16Sighted enemy. Smeared same.
00:19:18Why do I have to miss all the excitement?
00:19:21Bobby boy, the excitement's just starting.
00:19:23Keep the radar becks open, Winky.
00:19:25I'm sure we're in an area our unknown enemies don't want us to search.
00:19:29Yes, sir.
00:19:36Object ahead.
00:19:42Object about two solar minutes ahead of us.
00:19:45All right, Bobby.
00:19:47Mr. Newton can be proud of you.
00:19:49Elemental, my dear Rocky. Elemental.
00:19:52Hold on, Winky.
00:19:53When we're halfway there, we'll be able to tell if it's a space ship.
00:19:57Roger.
00:19:58Roger.
00:19:59Roger.
00:20:00Roger.
00:20:01Roger.
00:20:02When we're halfway there, we'll be able to tell if it's a space ship.
00:20:05Rocky, why'd you bring this on the orbit jet?
00:20:09Oh, well, that's something Professor Newton's been working on for a long time.
00:20:13I know. It's cold light.
00:20:15Oh? Then he's told you about it, huh?
00:20:18Yes, we discussed it, and I gave him my opinion.
00:20:21Well, I know he appreciated that.
00:20:23Cold light should never be used indiscriminately.
00:20:26The gamma rays could be fatal to those who use it.
00:20:29Yes, Professor Newton warned me.
00:20:32Rocky, it's a space ship ahead.
00:20:41Safety belts.
00:20:42This is the XV-2 calling space ship at approximately celestial meridian 190 degrees, celestial parallel 80 degrees.
00:21:02Come in. Identify yourself.
00:21:06This is the XV-2 calling space ship at approximately celestial meridian 180 degrees.
00:21:11Celestial parallel 90 degrees.
00:21:14Come in. Identify yourself.
00:21:21It's a space ship, Reggie.
00:21:23It's Rocky in the orbit jet.
00:21:26We have to get some signal to him.
00:21:28We're helpless, Vena.
00:21:29The rocket missiles.
00:21:31We can't operate the tubes.
00:21:33And even if we could, firing them wouldn't be safe.
00:21:35I mean, force them through the tubes.
00:21:37Drop them over side.
00:21:39They'd have to see that and not pass us by.
00:21:42It might work. We could give it a try.
00:21:44We may have enough auxiliary power to drop them off.
00:21:52Winky, Bobby, look at their missile tubes, starboard.
00:21:56It's starting to open.
00:21:58We're going to be ducking missiles in a minute.
00:22:00Hoist rocket, Winky.
00:22:02Same run. Fire missile on count five.
00:22:05Repeat on five.
00:22:10Starting run.
00:22:12Check.
00:22:13One, two, three, four.
00:22:17Hold it, Winky. Hold fire.
00:22:23They injected the rocket. They weren't firing it.
00:22:26That was meant as a signal to us.
00:22:28Maybe the ship's in some kind of trouble, Rocky.
00:22:30Get the magnetic lock ready, Winky.
00:22:32We're going alongside.
00:22:33Aye, aye, sir.
00:22:34The orbit jet is gone.
00:22:58It's come alongside.
00:23:01It's come alongside.
00:23:03I'll open the airlock hatch.
00:23:23Rocky, Bobby.
00:23:26You had us worried.
00:23:28I was never so happy to see anyone in all my life.
00:23:31Why didn't you answer our signal?
00:23:32Our power and equipment were neutralized.
00:23:34Our spaceship is a satellite of CASA 7.
00:23:37How'd that happen?
00:23:39Rinkman and Dr. Vanco, the two renegades from Earth, arranged it.
00:23:42Ah, so they're the cause of all the trouble.
00:23:45They've taken up space pirating.
00:23:47They came alongside and took off all our cargo.
00:23:49I see.
00:23:50Well, you can give me a complete rundown on our way to CASA 7.
00:23:53We can't get out of our orbit, Rocky.
00:23:55Oh, I think we can.
00:23:56The orbit jet will take you out.
00:23:58We'll stay in magnetic lock.
00:24:00Tandem 4 will do the job.
00:24:02You better stay by the controls here, Reg.
00:24:04Vena, you come on the orbit jet with me.
00:24:06That's like going home, Rocky.
00:24:08I told them we'd find you, Vena.
00:24:10Didn't I, Rocky?
00:24:11Bet you did, Bobby.
00:24:26XB-2 calling CASA 7.
00:24:40Come in, CASA 7.
00:24:42CASA 7, central station to XB-2.
00:24:45Requesting landing clearance.
00:24:47Bringing spaceship CM-7 in on Tandem 4.
00:24:51Landing platform in readiness.
00:24:53Please report at 10 miles.
00:24:55We'll bring you in for ground control approach.
00:24:58Out.
00:24:59Out.
00:25:19Standby twin landing platforms.
00:25:21Ready magnetic locks.
00:25:23It's only a matter of seconds now.
00:25:25My sister Vena can't be any happier than I am.
00:25:46The orbit jet and CM-7 in magnetic lock are safely landed, sir.
00:25:50Nice going, Ken.
00:25:57I'll bet you you're excited, Vena.
00:25:59I'm excited and happy and thankful I reached CASA 7.
00:26:03Your big brother's probably waiting outside now.
00:26:05Yes.
00:26:13Paul!
00:26:15Well, it's good to see you, sis.
00:26:17I came very near not making it.
00:26:19I was worried when your ship didn't answer our signals.
00:26:21We were space whacked by pirates.
00:26:23None of our equipment was working.
00:26:26Winky, I'm disappointed.
00:26:29There aren't any girls waiting for you.
00:26:31You're disappointed?
00:26:32How do you think I feel?
00:26:35Bobby, Winky, this is my brother Paul.
00:26:38Hi, Bobby. Hello, Winky.
00:26:39Hi, Paul.
00:26:40Winky's co-pilot on the orbit jet.
00:26:41Uh-huh.
00:26:42Hey, Bobby, aren't you a little young to be a space traveler?
00:26:44I'm learning to be a pilot like Rocky.
00:26:46Hello, Reggie.
00:26:47I hear you've been having pirate troubles.
00:26:49Well, they almost hitched us to a star and left us there.
00:26:52And you're Rocky Jones.
00:26:53It's nice meeting you, Venus brother.
00:26:54CASA 7?
00:26:55I wish it were on more pleasant business, Paul.
00:26:57We should discuss a plan of action as quickly as possible.
00:27:00Well, let's go to my quarters and get on with it.
00:27:02Come on, sis, I'll show you how your bachelor brother lives.
00:27:13When the leader from the pirate spaceship came on our ship,
00:27:16I recognized him.
00:27:17He was Rankman.
00:27:18And later, Reggie said Dr. Vanco was also on their ship.
00:27:22They're two fugitives from Earth, Paul.
00:27:25Rankman's a traitor to the United Worlds
00:27:27and an out-and-out criminal.
00:27:29Well, what procedure did the space pirates use to capture our cargo ships?
00:27:33They used some form of beamed energy
00:27:35that prevents the ship's instruments from working,
00:27:37like cutting a light switch.
00:27:40Yes, but I don't see how that can be done.
00:27:42When the speed of the spaceship is balanced against the pull of gravity of CASA 7,
00:27:46they cut the power.
00:27:48That leaves the ship in a perfect little orbit.
00:27:50It becomes a captive permanently, a man-made satellite.
00:27:53Yes.
00:27:54The only way they can be rescued is by tandem, Paul,
00:27:57using the rocket thrust of another ship which is locked with them.
00:28:00Well, that means I can send out search ships to locate those that have vanished.
00:28:03Yes, Paul.
00:28:05The ships and their crews can be saved,
00:28:07even if the cargoes are lost.
00:28:09And you have to catch up with two renegades,
00:28:11Dr. Lincoln and Dr. Vanko.
00:28:13We'll have to find out who's behind them and where they operate from.
00:28:16Well, we've got the whole solar system to work in.
00:28:19Well, how can you find out where to start, Rocky?
00:28:22Well, like Winky says, Bobby, the entire solar system is ours.
00:28:26Oh, Paul, I'd like to use your solar system atlas, if I may, and do a little study.
00:28:30Sure, right down in the bookcase. Help yourself.
00:28:32And if you need anything else, just ask.
00:28:33Thank you, Paul.
00:28:34Let's let Rocky get to work, huh?
00:28:36In the meantime, I'll show the rest of you what's being done here on CASA 7.
00:28:38Are you sure it's all right for us to leave, Rocky?
00:28:40Oh, we won't go too far, Bobby.
00:28:42I'll stick around in case Rocky needs anything.
00:28:44Okay, you can always reach me by the visiograph.
00:28:46Fine.
00:29:41Thanks, Vena.
00:29:42Can I get you anything else?
00:29:44No, this is just fine.
00:29:45Oh, did you get Bobby to bed?
00:29:46Yes. He's in dreamland.
00:29:48So is Winky.
00:29:50And you're next, Vena. Turn in.
00:29:52Are we getting anywhere, Rocky?
00:29:54I think so.
00:29:56If Paul's around, I'd like to talk with him.
00:29:58We'll be right with you.
00:29:59Oh, Vena, just Paul.
00:30:01You'll learn all about it in the morning.
00:30:02Those are orders.
00:30:05All right.
00:30:07Vena.
00:30:11How about a little snack for me, huh?
00:30:13I was awake all the time.
00:30:15I'll get you a snack, you faker.
00:30:23Well, Rock, I'm raring to go.
00:30:26You should be after eight hours sleep.
00:30:28It's air. It's like Paris in spring.
00:30:31We won't be in it long.
00:30:34There goes my social life on CASA 7.
00:30:37I know, Winky.
00:30:38It's rough on the girls, but we have work to do.
00:30:43Winky, Vena sent this to you.
00:30:45This is mine. That's Rocky's.
00:30:49Rocky, have you come up with anything yet?
00:30:51Maybe.
00:30:52If an unfriendly planet is behind the acts of piracy,
00:30:55they wouldn't operate from their home base.
00:30:57That'd be too easy to trace.
00:30:59And the United Worlds might declare open warfare.
00:31:01There are four or five planetoids
00:31:03far enough off of regular space lanes.
00:31:05They could be used as secret bases for criminal traffic.
00:31:09I have checked them all, and this is the one I picked.
00:31:14Why, that's the planetoid Praha,
00:31:16known as the Lonely Moon.
00:31:18Praha is 20 celestial degrees from any lane of space travel.
00:31:22Yes, but Rocky, you know the history of Praha.
00:31:25No spaceship has ever landed there
00:31:27because of some unknown defense barrier.
00:31:29That's right.
00:31:30Three Earth space ships set off for Praha,
00:31:32and nothing was ever heard of them again
00:31:33once they entered its gravity field.
00:31:35The only way we'll ever find out if Praha's being used is to go there.
00:31:38Well, how do we get through the barrier?
00:31:41I think it can be managed.
00:31:42Are you sure, Rocky?
00:31:44All right, so we land on Praha. What then?
00:31:47We'll decide that when we get there.
00:31:49That's that. Nothing to do but blast off.
00:31:51I'll send along a couple of armed escort ships, will you?
00:31:54Thanks, Paul, but we're not ready for any frontal attack.
00:31:57I don't like it, Rocky.
00:31:58There is something you can do.
00:32:00What's that?
00:32:01Explain to Vena and Bobby why they can't go along.
00:32:04That'll be a neat trick if you can do it.
00:32:08The trick is, we'll be off of Casa 7 before they're up in the morning.
00:32:29This is Ophiuchus. Come in.
00:32:31This is Rinkman speaking from Praha.
00:32:33Calling Cleolanta on Ophiuchus.
00:32:36This is Cleolanta. What is there to report?
00:32:40I've got the cargo of Earth's spaceship CM-7 safely stowed away.
00:32:45Hold it at Praha until you receive delivery orders.
00:32:48Is there anything else, Rinkman?
00:32:50Yes. Break down a little, Cleolanta.
00:32:53Forget you're the boss for five minutes.
00:32:55Do you have anything more to report?
00:32:57A little bit. I think you'll like this.
00:33:00After we left the CM-7 to its lonely travels,
00:33:03we picked up Rocky Jones on the radar vex.
00:33:06And you kept right on to Praha?
00:33:08Sure, why not?
00:33:09So he could follow you?
00:33:11You fool. Do you think you can outsmart Rocky Jones?
00:33:15What do you think?
00:33:16I had Armin, your best pilot, standing by on a decoy spaceship
00:33:21to blast the orbit jet into the next galaxy.
00:33:24You've disobeyed my orders.
00:33:27I was thinking mainly of saving my own neck.
00:33:30Remain on Praha for further orders. Out.
00:33:36You know something, Doc?
00:33:37Yeah.
00:33:38Sometimes I think she'd rather see us dead than Rocky Jones.
00:33:44Atlasan!
00:33:45Atlasan!
00:33:46Did you call me, Cleolanta?
00:33:49Rinkman and Dr. Vanco are on Praha.
00:33:51Excellent.
00:33:52Then we'll have more valuable merchandise to sell to our ally planets.
00:33:56Rinkman and Dr. Vanco are to be executed.
00:34:00Executed? But what have they done?
00:34:03They've disobeyed my orders.
00:34:06I shall see that your orders are carried out.
00:34:09They've disobeyed my orders.
00:34:12I shall see that your orders are carried out.
00:34:15Then do it.
00:34:18Cleolanta, it's too bad that we can't get Rocky Jones to take their place.
00:34:25Get out.
00:34:27Get out!
00:34:39Get out!
00:35:04Oh, Winky.
00:35:06We're approaching Praha's gravity field, right?
00:35:08Yes, you can see Praha now on visiograph.
00:35:10Well, what are we going to do about that defense barrier?
00:35:12You know, Winky, what you can't see, you can't hit.
00:35:15I'll buy that. But what are we going to do about that defense barrier?
00:35:18I've been holding out on you until now, Winky, because I promised Professor Newton.
00:35:22I know what you mean. The coal light.
00:35:24I never could get you to talk about it.
00:35:26Professor Newton asked me not to use it until we had to.
00:35:29He's kept it so hush-hush that most people don't even know it exists.
00:35:32I'll have to brief you on it.
00:35:33Right.
00:35:34When the lamp's actuated by this switch,
00:35:37the filament in the vacuum tube is quickly brought to a temperature of about minus 243 degrees centigrade.
00:35:43Freezing. Jupiter. Why all that cold?
00:35:46Well, Professor Newton explained it this way.
00:35:48Heat can affect light waves to a point where images that aren't even there can be seen by the human eye,
00:35:54like the mirages that appear on hot deserts.
00:35:56Sure, I've seen them on the Sahara.
00:35:58Now, intense cold can have the opposite effect.
00:36:00Blot out images that are actually there.
00:36:03When this lamp is switched on,
00:36:05the rays sent out by the terrifically cold light will make the orbit jet invisible.
00:36:09Well, how can we fly a ship we can't see?
00:36:12The cold light will surround the ship,
00:36:15but we'll be able to see everything normally here in the cabins.
00:36:18But no one will be able to see us.
00:36:20Well, if that can't get us through any defense barrier, nothing can.
00:36:25Well, if that can't get us through any defense barrier, nothing can.
00:36:28Oh, just one point, Winky.
00:36:30We have to fight time.
00:36:32We don't know how long the cold lamp will operate so.
00:36:35Stand by to switch it up, huh?
00:36:36Right, sir.
00:36:38We're entering cross-gravity field.
00:36:40Switch it on, Winky.
00:37:08Do we know if the ship's invisible?
00:37:10We don't, not for sure.
00:37:12But if something hits us, we'll know the cold light didn't work.
00:37:16That's finding out the hard way.
00:37:19Boy, that's a rugged place.
00:37:25Activate the gyro.
00:37:29Activated, sir.
00:37:30Secure for landing.
00:37:33But even if we can't land, we'll be safe.
00:37:36But even if we can spot a place in that rocky terrain, the orbit jet won't stand on its tail.
00:37:41We're going to go right into one of their landing platforms.
00:37:46Well, somebody's gonna be surprised.
00:37:48I hope it isn't us.
00:37:53We didn't have a signal for a landing.
00:37:55Who could possibly land on Prague?
00:37:57Markov.
00:37:58Markov!
00:37:59Markov here.
00:38:00Who's making a landing?
00:38:02Nothing's coming into the landing platforms.
00:38:04Are you blind?
00:38:06Let's have a look, Doc.
00:38:13Keep the visiograph on, Winky.
00:38:15You'll have to cover me.
00:38:16If they start anything, blast them.
00:38:18I'll keep my trigger finger ready.
00:38:20You'll be able to see me materialize out of the ship's invisibility blanket.
00:38:24Boy, they're gonna be even more surprised than they are now.
00:38:27But remember, we don't know how long the cold light will last.
00:38:29Right.
00:38:33Oh.
00:38:39You can see no spaceship has landed here.
00:38:41It must have landed. We heard the rockets.
00:38:44Maybe we're all blind.
00:38:46What do you think, Doc? You heard it?
00:38:48I don't know.
00:38:49I don't know. It's fantastic.
00:38:55We're being paid to know about these things, Vanko.
00:38:58Did a spaceship land or didn't it?
00:39:00This thing is all beyond me, I have to admit it.
00:39:03You're gonna have to keep up to date, Doc,
00:39:05or you'll be dropped back to Earth and wind up on the exiled planet.
00:39:08Look, there is Ransom.
00:39:13You expecting someone, Rinkman?
00:39:15Rocky Jones.
00:39:17You have discovered the light vibration of invisibility.
00:39:20It's friendly of you to bring this new discovery to us.
00:39:24Let's not waste time, Rinkman.
00:39:26I'm here with a warning.
00:39:28You're in no spot to give orders.
00:39:32There's the orbit jet. Take my word for it.
00:39:34There's a gun on it ready to blast you if you make one false move.
00:39:38I'll make it brief, Rinkman.
00:39:40Stop pirating the spaceships of the United Worlds,
00:39:43or Pryor will be blown out of existence.
00:39:47That's big talk, Rocky.
00:39:59Come on.
00:40:04I didn't think the orbit jet would fire on you to get us.
00:40:08You'll gain nothing by holding me.
00:40:10We'll take that chance. Get him to the caves.
00:40:29Leolander?
00:40:30Yes?
00:40:31This is Rinkman on Praha, reporting an emergency.
00:40:34Proceed with your report.
00:40:36There's been a slight change in our plans to destroy the orbit jet in Rocky Jones.
00:40:41Why wasn't it reported earlier?
00:40:43Because I didn't discover the change until Rocky Jones landed on Praha.
00:40:48That's impossible. No spaceship can get through the defense barrier.
00:40:52Rocky Jones has discovered a new trick. He's here.
00:40:56What is he up to?
00:40:57Nothing much, as long as I have him locked up in one of the caves.
00:41:01Keep him under guard. You'll get further orders. Out.
00:41:17Well, Atlasan?
00:41:18I've ordered two of our most trusted men to Praha to handle the execution of Rinkman and Dr. Vancom.
00:41:23Cancel your orders.
00:41:25Cleolanta, that was your command.
00:41:27I said cancel your orders.
00:41:29What's the matter? Do they redeem themselves?
00:41:31I will go to Praha and decide if they are to be pardoned.
00:41:34Praha is a barren planet. A land of rock and granite mountains. It's no place for a woman.
00:41:39Have my spaceship made ready. You will serve as pilot.
00:41:43If that is what you wish.
00:41:45It is what I command.
00:41:55♪
00:42:20Winky.
00:42:22Winky, am I getting through?
00:42:24You're coming in clear, Rocky.
00:42:26I'm being held in a cave in one of the mountains.
00:42:28I'll find it. We don't know how much cold light we have left.
00:42:32You're not to leave the orbit jet. I'll have to find a way to get clear.
00:42:35So keep the ship ready for blast-off at any time.
00:42:38Will do. But I feel like a lunkhead just sitting here.
00:42:41Your job is to keep the orbit jet invisible, just as long as the cold light holds out.
00:42:46Stand by.
00:42:47♪
00:42:59Rocky, suppose we make a deal.
00:43:03I'm listening.
00:43:04You've got something good in that secret of invisibility.
00:43:08Yeah, I think so.
00:43:10I could get you off Praha alive in exchange for that secret.
00:43:14You're wasting your time.
00:43:17Now put it this way. Come in with me.
00:43:21You mean as a space pirate?
00:43:24It pays off.
00:43:26Working out of an invisible spaceship, we'd have the solar system by the tail.
00:43:32How about the people you're taking orders from?
00:43:34We won't be needing them. We can brush them off.
00:43:38Yes, but I don't know who you're working for.
00:43:41You'd like to know, wouldn't you, Rocky? Not a chance.
00:43:44All right.
00:43:46Well, Rocky, is it a deal, or do you rot it out in this cave?
00:43:55What'll it be, Rocky?
00:43:59Keep him covered, Wiggy.
00:44:00I got him covered, Rocky.
00:44:02Come on.
00:44:33Come on.
00:44:47Franklin's been gone a long time.
00:44:49He had some business with the prisoner.
00:44:51He shouldn't have gone to see Rocky Jones alone.
00:44:53Rocky's a sharp character.
00:44:55He insisted.
00:44:57I'm going to see what's going on.
00:45:01Don't try anything.
00:45:03Go on, Dr. Benko.
00:45:05Put your hands in the air and keep them there.
00:45:07Go on, get over to Dr. Benko.
00:45:13Now, don't either one of you try a thing.
00:45:16Wiggy, come in, Wiggy.
00:45:19Go ahead, Rocky. Not much time left.
00:45:22Open the airlock hatch.
00:45:23Airlock hatch open.
00:45:25Prepare for blast-off. I'm on my way.
00:45:27Rockets'll be roaring.
00:45:28Right.
00:45:31Come on.
00:46:02Blast-off perfect, Wiggy.
00:46:05You had yourself quite a time.
00:46:07Yes, but I didn't quite complete the job.
00:46:10We know where the space pirates operate from.
00:46:12I know they are.
00:46:13We still don't know who's behind Rankman.
00:46:18We'll keep the cold light on until we're out of Praha's gravity field.
00:46:22I sure hope there's enough energy left in the lamp.
00:46:24Wiggy, look.
00:46:26Strange spaceship headed for Praha.
00:46:28Well, we just blasted off in time.
00:46:30Rankman's boss is probably on that ship.
00:46:32I'd sure like to have a look inside.
00:46:34Yeah.
00:46:46I'm curious, Cleolanta, about this journey to Praha.
00:46:49The truth is, Rocky Jones has been taken prisoner and is being held on Praha.
00:46:54So that's the reason you're giving it your personal attention.
00:46:57If you were as smart as my chief officer should be, you'd know the reason.
00:47:02Rocky Jones has caused us more difficulties than any other person in the United Worlds.
00:47:07I want him on our side.
00:47:10You failed before, Cleolanta.
00:47:13This time, I'm not going to fail.
00:47:25XB-2 to CASA-7.
00:47:28This is the XB-2 calling CASA-7.
00:47:31This is CASA-7. Go ahead, XB-2.
00:47:35Message to Paul Ray.
00:47:37We are proceeding to CASA-7.
00:47:40Anticipate arrival at 400 solar time.
00:47:44Tell Paul to say hello to Veena and Bobby.
00:47:46Message will be delivered to Paul Ray.
00:47:49Tell Paul to say hello to Veena and Bobby.
00:47:51Message will be delivered to Paul Ray.
00:47:54Thank you, CASA-7. Out.
00:47:57Well, there's the period on this mission.
00:48:00No, Winky. I think there's still a lot more to come before we see the end of the space pirates.
00:48:06Well, I only hope that Betty doesn't get tired.
00:48:09I told her to wait for me at the bandstand in Central Park.
00:48:20This is CASA-7, Central Station. Come in.
00:48:23This is the XB-2 approaching gravity field.
00:48:26What is your estimated time of arrival?
00:48:291,100 hours.
00:48:31We'll prepare a landing clearance.
00:48:33Please contact Central Station when you reach altitude 50 miles.
00:48:37We'll report at 50 miles. Out.
00:48:41This is CASA-7, Central Station.
00:48:43This is the XB-2 approaching gravity field.
00:48:46What is your estimated time of arrival?
00:48:491,100 hours.
00:48:51We'll prepare a landing clearance.
00:48:53Please contact Central Station when you reach altitude 50 miles.
00:48:57We'll report at 50 miles. Out.
00:49:10CASA-7, Ken speaking.
00:49:12Rinkman here. Go ahead, Ken.
00:49:14The orbit jet just reported. Approaching CASA-7.
00:49:20Do you hear me?
00:49:23Tell him to contact you for instructions after the orbit jet lands.
00:49:27Contact me for instructions after the orbit jet lands.
00:49:30Rinkman, is everything going as planned?
00:49:33Everything's just fine. Out.
00:49:35You mean everything's ruined by your stupidity.
00:49:38Do we have to go into that again?
00:49:40I arrive on Prague and find Rocky Jones has made fools of a whole lot of you.
00:49:44He just vanished right in front of our eyes.
00:49:46What can you do against a secret like that?
00:49:48You can find out what the secret is and use it yourself.
00:49:51But you let him slip right through your fingers.
00:49:53Let's not make a big argument out of it, Atlas Anne.
00:49:56Rocky's gone.
00:49:57What we have to find out is how do we get him back.
00:50:00Until we dispose of him, our very profitable traffic in United Planet spaceships
00:50:05and their viable cargoes is finished.
00:50:07You should have let us finish them the way we wanted to.
00:50:09My orders stand.
00:50:11I want Rocky Jones alive.
00:50:13Why, Cleolanta?
00:50:15I just don't understand.
00:50:17You don't have to understand, Rinkman.
00:50:19Now concentrate on these orders.
00:50:21I want CASA-7 taken.
00:50:25Oh, that's not a bad idea.
00:50:27And not too difficult to accomplish.
00:50:29Instruct our agent Ken to immobilize their defenses.
00:50:33CASA-7 should be a sitting duck.
00:50:36We take it over and all the valuable equipment and material.
00:50:40Don't fail this time.
00:50:42We're returning to Ophiuchus.
00:50:46One thing more.
00:50:47You'll not be welcome in Ophiuchus until you bring Rocky Jones as a prisoner.
00:51:01You never opened your face, Doc.
00:51:03Well?
00:51:04Why waste words?
00:51:06We are in the unfortunate position of being obliged to do Cleolanta's dirty work.
00:51:13But if we take over CASA-7 and lay hands on Rocky Jones,
00:51:18we'll do the dictating.
00:51:21Right now, we have to wait for word from Ken.
00:51:34Oh, this is Ken at landing controls.
00:51:36Yes, Ken.
00:51:37The orbit jet is in the process of landing.
00:51:40Good. I'll be there in a few minutes.
00:51:42Have Rocky wait for me there.
00:51:44Out.
00:52:04Well?
00:52:05All safe and ship-shaped, thanks to Professor Newton's cold light.
00:52:09Oh, I gave him.
00:52:11Give me all the details on the operation of the cold light for a report to Professor Newton.
00:52:15Will do.
00:52:16You know, I'll bet those space buzzards on Praha are still busy trying to figure out what made the orbit jet invisible.
00:52:22I think we're getting there.
00:52:24I'll be there in a few minutes.
00:52:26Good luck.
00:52:27Good luck.
00:52:28Good luck.
00:52:29Good luck.
00:52:30Good luck.
00:52:32I think we can depend on them trying to find out.
00:52:35That's what I like about you. You're so cheerful.
00:52:38Come on, Mickey. Paul's probably waiting for us.
00:52:49Welcome to CASA.
00:52:50Thanks, Ken.
00:52:51Did you contact Paul?
00:52:52Yes, he asked that you wait here.
00:52:54Have any messages come through from Secretary Drake?
00:52:57This arrived just after you blasted off for Praha.
00:53:06Following information may be of use.
00:53:08We monitored scrambled message sent to Praha.
00:53:11Message originated on planet C4R.
00:53:15C4R, that's code for Ophiuchus.
00:53:18Now we can guess whose ship we saw as we left Praha.
00:53:23Well, glad to see you two back.
00:53:26Feels pretty good dust.
00:53:27Hello, Paul.
00:53:28Did you get close enough to Praha?
00:53:30We made a landing on it.
00:53:32That's impossible.
00:53:33No spaceship has ever penetrated their defense barrier.
00:53:37Well, maybe that's because none of them took along any cold light, Paul.
00:53:42I never know when Winky's being serious.
00:53:45You're looking at a very serious fella, Paul.
00:53:47When the orbit jet landed on Praha, it was invisible.
00:53:51You mean that cold light made your spaceship invisible?
00:53:55I'll explain that later, Paul.
00:53:57The important thing now is we discovered Rinkman's pirate operations are based on Praha.
00:54:02Well, when I asked you to wait here for me, I had a reason.
00:54:07Ken, you got those records, Andy?
00:54:09Oh, yeah.
00:54:12There was something about the disappearance of our cargo spaceships that bothered me.
00:54:16How did the pirates know the exact schedule?
00:54:19So I checked the records.
00:54:21I found that each spaceship reported from just outside our gravity field and then vanished.
00:54:26I see.
00:54:27Making it look as if Rinkman got his information from here.
00:54:31Well, it should be easy to check.
00:54:33Unfortunately, it isn't.
00:54:35You see, Ken had an assistant named Hager New.
00:54:38He was an apprentice from Mars.
00:54:40The day Wiener's ship disappeared, he vanished.
00:54:44I think you'll eventually find your traitor, Paul.
00:54:48Ken, continue a close guard around here.
00:54:50Of course.
00:55:26Dad
00:55:30All the sky
00:55:34Is winking and blinking a sleepy little lullaby
00:55:39As deeper still we fly
00:55:45In your palatial extra-spatial outbound dreamer
00:55:52To the stars tomorrow daddy has to climb
00:55:57The trail we blaze tonight will be my guide
00:56:03I'll bet the stars'll greet me kinda friendly-like
00:56:09And smile cause they're remembering a little tyke
00:56:14Whose smile could make a noodle of a lightning strike
00:56:20The night he made the star feel bright
00:56:25The night he made the star feel bright
00:56:35Oh, Wiener, when you have that report finished,
00:56:37will you send it to Secretary Drake on the messy scrambling?
00:56:40Oh, Winkie, I'm going to check over the orbit jet.
00:56:42You want me to go with you?
00:56:43No, you stay here. I'll be back before you turn in.
00:56:51Rankman, I also cut power on all defense units.
00:56:55Can we come in for a landing?
00:56:57I'll stand by at Central Station.
00:56:59I'll bring you in by ground control.
00:57:01Don't let Rocky Jones blast off before we arrive.
00:57:04He won't find the orbit jet.
00:57:06I switched on the invisibility equipment.
00:57:09That's the equipment we want.
00:57:11It's here, ready to be taken.
00:57:15Somebody's coming. Out.
00:57:21Oh, you're working late, Ken.
00:57:24Since Hager knew right out, I've been on a 24-hour duty.
00:57:27I use the charting room for living quarters.
00:57:30I came to check on the orbit jet.
00:57:32It isn't at the landing platform.
00:57:34That's strange.
00:57:36I wonder where it could have been taken.
00:57:38The only place spaceships can be kept is at one of the platforms.
00:57:41Ah, I see.
00:57:43Well, have you seen anything of Hager new?
00:57:45Not a sign.
00:57:47Have you seen anything of Hager new?
00:57:49Not a sign.
00:57:51All right, I'll check the platform again just to be sure.
00:58:17Did you also catch up with the traitor, Ken?
00:58:47Ah, so it was, Ken.
00:58:50I guess both of us found out too late.
00:58:52You are an Earthman.
00:58:54Yes, Rocky Jones. I command the orbit jet.
00:58:57I am Hager new, a Martian.
00:59:00They're looking for you as the traitor.
00:59:02Ken arranged that cleverly.
00:59:05After I caught him giving information to the pirates,
00:59:08he had to silence me.
00:59:10Yes, he's quite a hand at that.
00:59:12For two days, I was bound and helpless in the charting room at Centro Station.
00:59:18Yesterday, I was put into a deep sleep, found myself here.
00:59:24We're on my ship, the orbit jet.
00:59:26That's where Ken made his mistake.
00:59:28I know the ship too well.
00:59:30Ken is an evil man.
00:59:33He'll not stop at murder.
00:59:37If we can get out of these barns, he'll have missed his chance.
00:59:41If I can stretch these barns, I may be able to slip them over my wrists.
01:00:03This is Casa 7, Centro Station. Come in.
01:00:28Linkman here, making approach for landing.
01:00:30Neutralize all circuits, activate gyros.
01:00:33We'll handle circuits and gyros.
01:00:35Ground control will bring you in for landing. Out.
01:00:59Well, we've made it, Doc.
01:01:11Now we have to take over Casa 7.
01:01:13And do it fast. Get Markoff and Link in here.
01:01:27We got work to do, Ken.
01:01:29First, there's Paul Ray, Mickey Prisoner.
01:01:31He's headed the entire project at Casa 7.
01:01:33Then what?
01:01:34After that, it'll be easy.
01:01:35Where do we find this Paul Ray?
01:01:36I'll show you.
01:01:47Linkman.
01:01:48Just making a little surprise visit.
01:01:54We've covered the area at least a dozen times, Link.
01:02:08Hold it. I'll use this.
01:02:12I said hold it.
01:02:14We're taking charge here, and if you don't think so, I'll give you a taste of this.
01:02:19You think you're slipping loose?
01:02:47Ken keeps on the automatic lock.
01:02:49He didn't know there's a way to handle that.
01:02:52There's an emergency circuit breaker here.
01:02:57Will you stand by the ship, Hagernew?
01:02:58If it's your wish.
01:02:59Good. There's some space guns in the control section.
01:03:02I'm going to do something about moving the orbit jet.
01:03:04Ken will see you.
01:03:05I don't think so. The ship is invisible.
01:03:07But that's impossible.
01:03:09Why not later?
01:03:38The orbit jet is invisible.
01:04:07I don't think Ken will be able to find it again.
01:04:09I am frank to say I am puzzled.
01:04:12Ken had the platform marked so he'd know where the invisible ship was located.
01:04:16I erased the marks and put them on another platform.
01:04:20I'd sure like to see Ken's face when he looks for the orbit jet.
01:04:29The orbit jet's invisible.
01:04:31I marked the platform.
01:04:32Come on.
01:04:39We'll walk right into the invisible band.
01:04:43Where is this invisible band?
01:04:44I don't understand it.
01:04:46You sure you know what you're doing?
01:04:48I left the ship right here twice. I've gone aboard.
01:04:50Well, you blundered somewhere. There's nothing here, real or invisible.
01:04:54Rocky Jones and the Martian are on the ship, tied up.
01:04:57If I know Rocky Jones, he didn't stay tied up long.
01:05:00But he couldn't get away.
01:05:01If he did, he's got the orbit jet.
01:05:03And Cleolanta will have your neck.
01:05:05I'll find the ship.
01:05:07Well, you go on looking.
01:05:09I'll get Rocky's crew into my ship and send them along to Ophiuchus.
01:05:12With his friends in danger, Rocky Jones will soon show his hand.
01:05:16Yes, you took the words right out of my mind, Doc.
01:05:20If the orbit jet is lost, so are you.
01:05:36Were you looking for me, Ken?
01:05:55All right, I've got a nice place for you.
01:06:00Move!
01:06:30Hold it!
01:06:45Whose ship is that on the next platform?
01:06:49Whose ship is it?
01:06:51Treatment!
01:06:52All right!
01:06:53On the ship.
01:06:54Sounds like Ken's in trouble.
01:06:56Here.
01:07:26Nobody's in sight.
01:07:28Lock them in the rear section.
01:07:29They've got a long journey ahead.
01:07:30Right, let's go.
01:07:31Late.
01:07:33Get ready to take off for Ophiuchus.
01:07:35Doc will go along as navigator.
01:07:37When will we blast off?
01:07:38As soon as I contact Cleolanta and explain things, I'll give you the word.
01:07:42Markoff and I will be using Paul Ray's quarters.
01:07:52Ken won't give us any more trouble.
01:07:55Our next job is to take Rinkman.
01:07:57He's wanted back on Earth to answer for his crimes.
01:07:59Perhaps he'll answer for them sooner than that.
01:08:02What do you mean, Hagernew?
01:08:03I wanted to be certain the traitors are destroyed.
01:08:06I inserted tonight alpha into the rocket tubes of Rinkman's spaceship.
01:08:11That'll blow them to bits when they blast off.
01:08:13Yes, the traitors will be destroyed.
01:08:16I want him alive, Hagernew.
01:08:26Winky, Paul.
01:08:41Dr. Vanko.
01:08:42Link, come in.
01:08:45Yes, Rinkman?
01:08:47You can blast off any time, Doc.
01:08:49What did you arrange with Cleolanta?
01:08:51She's sending two spaceships with troops to police this project.
01:08:55Can you hold on till they arrive?
01:08:57The troops will be taking over before the people here know that Paul Ray's missing.
01:09:02Come back as soon as you can, Doc.
01:09:03We'll need you here.
01:09:05Good flying.
01:09:06And for your good hunting, you'll have to find Rocky Jones.
01:09:09Out.
01:09:11Rinkman!
01:09:16Where are Paul Ray and my crew?
01:09:18You're a little late, Rocky.
01:09:19Where are they?
01:09:20They're due to blast off Casa 7 at any moment.
01:09:24On which ship?
01:09:25They're safely stowed away on my spaceship.
01:09:28Don't let them blast off, Rinkman.
01:09:30Stop bluffing, Rocky.
01:09:31You try to hold the ship.
01:09:33You've got to stop them.
01:09:34The ship's in danger of blowing up.
01:09:51Starboard rocket.
01:09:59Is the fuel feed okay?
01:10:02Yeah, it registers.
01:10:04Try the starboard rocket again.
01:10:11Dr. Vanko.
01:10:12Link, come in.
01:10:13Urgent.
01:10:16There's a signal, Doc.
01:10:17Take it.
01:10:18Dr. Vanko.
01:10:20Doc, trouble.
01:10:21Rocky Jones on his way to the ship.
01:10:23Hold blast off.
01:10:24Take him.
01:10:25We'll handle him.
01:10:32Doctor's here.
01:10:33Open the hatch and keep me covered.
01:10:55Take Vanko.
01:10:56This one's mine.
01:11:24I knew Rocky was all right, Vena.
01:11:26Of course, Bobby.
01:11:28Oh, Paul.
01:11:29You don't know how close you came to oblivion.
01:11:32Hager knew loaded the rockets with tonight alpha.
01:11:35Wow.
01:11:36It was lucky I thought of knocking out those fuel pumps, wasn't it?
01:11:38I knew we could depend on you, Wicky.
01:11:40Bobby showed us a new trick with his penknife.
01:11:43He short-circuited the door controls.
01:11:45I had to do something, didn't I, Rocky?
01:11:47That's why you took me along.
01:11:50Bobby, you were wonderful.
01:11:52Oh, Paul.
01:11:53There are a couple more prisoners at your quarters we have to pick up to add to these.
01:11:56And we've got to take them back to Earth to turn them in.
01:11:58Oh, did you find the orbit yet?
01:11:59Yes, and she's ready for blast off.
01:12:01Oh, Paul, one more detail.
01:12:03There are two spaceships headed here from Ophiuchus.
01:12:05I'll know what to do with them.
01:12:07Blast them.
01:12:23Hey, Rocky.
01:12:24What time do we land on Earth with our cargo of traitors?
01:12:27About 1900 Earth time.
01:12:29Oh, wonderful.
01:12:30Hey, how about using the astrophone?
01:12:32I've already reported to Secretary Drake.
01:12:35Yeah, well, uh, you see, I wanted to call Betty.
01:12:38I want to see if she's still waiting for me at the bandstand in Central Park.
01:12:42Come on, I'll lay off.
01:12:43I'll ask her if she has a friend for you.
01:12:46Come on, I'll lay off.
01:12:47I'll ask her if she has a friend for you.
