Transcript

Beagles, weaving down upon the underworld with mashed ganglin, comes a friend of the unfortunate, enemy of criminals, a mysterious, all-powerful character, a problem to the police, but a true state of law.

In reality, Dan Garrett, a rookie patrolman, loved by everyone but suspected by none of being the blue beetle. As the blue beetle he hides behind the strange maps, can a suit of incredible blue-shade armor, to the last two but stronger than steel.

Today's episode of the Blue Beetle is entitled thoroughbreds always come through. Horse racing is called the sport of kings, but common people enjoy it also. Enormous sums of money are betty cheer on horse races.

Enormous sums of money are won and lost each year on horse races. And where enormous sums of money are involved, clever crooks will be ever scheming to divert some of that money into their dishonest hands.

As our story opens, Petrom and Dan Garrett is discussing with his friend and confidence Dr. Franz the chemist, a recent death at a nearby racetrack and its possible ramification. But Danny, what makes you think Buddy Winston's death?
