Transcript

Behold, weeding down upon the underworld of smashed ganglin' comes the mysterious all-powerful character who is a problem to the police, but a crusade of all-all. In reality, Dan Garret are wicked-patold, loved by everyone, but suspected by none of being the blue beetle.

As the blue beetle, he hides behind a screen of masks and a suit of impenetrable blue chain armor, flexible as silk, but stronger than steel. Today's episode of the Blue Beetle is the second part of a story entitled Crime Incorporated.

In the first part of this story, crime overlords of various cities have gathered in York City to organize crime on a nationwide basis. The Roman Dan Garrett through a clever disguise has convinced Frankie Capetto, the ringleader of the gang, that he would be an asset to the crime ring.

by Capetto, he has been given a blue beetle costume in order to report to a man named Slick. Meanwhile underworld characters, masquerading in blue beetle costume, have committed several crimes throughout the city. The first national bank has been robbed. Commissioner Donnelly's daughter has been kidnapped and the mayor's office has been bombed. As our story opens,

the meeting of crime incorporated is in session. Well boys, the first part of our plan is underway. The city officials are scared. Our next move is to terrorize the citizens themselves. How? The guy I hired last night, Strangler Van Norton, he calls himself, says he's a wrestler.

He's husky enough to be one. Yeah, but he ain't full on me. He's got brains. What are you gonna use him for? Hold up, can he shoot? I don't know and I don't care. He won't use a gun.
