Transcript

Wheat cheques, rice cheques, and good hot Ralston present. Space Patrol! I, Adventure, in the wild vast features of space, missions of daring in the name of interplanetary justice, travel into the future with Buzz Correy, Commander in Chief of the Space Patrol!

Ralston! In today's transcribed Adventure Buzz and Happy are approaching a building where the Secretary-General's daughter Carol is held captive. Suddenly, they become aware of a painful tingling sensation and a ringing in their ears. It's hard to walk. It feels like a big weight on me.

Yeah, I can hardly move. Happy. Nor is using some kind of a ray on us. A paralyzer ray? It's worse than that. With an ultrasonic beam. Run back to the ship, get out of its range quickly.

I can't. Happy, get out. Nira, I'll help you. I can't even crawl. My head is a thousand evils in it. If we don't get out of that beam, it'll shake us to pieces! We'll be back in just a moment with today's Space Patrol Story, the Sleepwalker!

And now gang, here's some terrific news. Here's how to get a pair of the Space Patrol Space Binoculars, the most unusual binoculars ever designed. You wear them like official outer space headgear. That's right, a strong elastic band holds them snugly to your eyes, leaving your hands absolutely free.

Now these are not flimsy celluloid goggles, not a mask. They're the real McCoy, big, full-sized, solid plastic binoculars. You can see way off in the distance width. Overall they're a complete 5 inches in width, a complete 5 inches in length.

And when you wear them, they stand out a full 3 ½ inches from your eyes. Powerful? Ah, you bet. These are four power binoculars with four fixed-focus pure leucide lenses. You can spot airplanes in the sky, watch for your dad coming home from work, read signs way off in the distance.
