Transcripción
01:00This is the voice of a scarecrow, Lucy.
01:19I command you to drive your car over the cliff.
01:25The scourge is speaking to you, Evans.
01:35You have reached the end.
01:37You will walk to the window and step out...
01:41into eternity.
01:56You are under the power of the Scourge, Jackson.
02:00Your weapon is in the right hand drawer of your desk.
02:04Use it.
02:19The death of Harold Jackson, well-known attorney,
02:22is another link in the chain of mysterious crimes known as the Purple Death Murders.
02:27In each case, a subtle unknown poison has been found in the bloodstream of the dead man,
02:32and each victim clutched in his hand a jeweled scarab.
02:35The scarab, ironically, was the symbol of eternal life among the ancients.
02:39It is significant that all of the murdered men were actively or financially connected
02:44with the recent scientific expedition into the ancient Mayan ruins of Central America.
02:50The authorities are completely baffled,
02:52and the mayor has called District Attorney Grant Gardner
02:55to appear before a meeting in the office of Police Commissioner Dryden.
02:58Hello, Mr. Mayor.
03:00And how are you, Commissioner?
03:01Hello, Grant.
03:02The Commissioner's been alibiing his failure to turn up anything in these Purple Death Murders.
03:05What are your excuses, Mr. Gardner?
03:07I don't make excuses, but I do have a definite plan.
03:09And that is?
03:10I'd rather not discuss it now. You'll have to be patient.
03:13You remember the Commissioner and I have cleaned up crime waves in this town before.
03:16Yes, that mysterious Captain America did most of your work for you.
03:21We can only contact him now.
03:23I feel certain that this new crime wave will bring him out of hiding to help us.
03:27Well, I hope so.
03:29We're up against a new type of scientific criminal,
03:32one that we'll never find in the usual haunts of crime.
03:41I tell you, Dr. Maldow,
03:44there's a curse on everyone connected with that Mayan expedition.
03:48Jackson's gone, and Wilson, and Evans.
03:54Well, you or I may be the next victim of the Scallops Purple Death.
03:58My dear Professor Lyman, you're over-excited.
04:01Calm yourself. Here, have a cigar.
04:13Sit down, Professor, sit down.
04:17If there is an ancient curse upon us,
04:20this Scallop who invokes it must be peculiarly merciful.
04:24These men you have named are known to have withdrawn large sums of money
04:28from their banks just prior to their deaths.
04:31That's true, but I'm not wealthy.
04:34Ah, but the Scallop wants other things.
04:37Rare jewels, paintings.
04:39Ah, but the Scallop wants other things.
04:41Rare jewels, paintings. Antiques.
04:44He also wants scientific secrets such as you possess.
04:50Just what do you mean?
04:51The Scallop wants the plans of the thermodynamic vibration engine
04:54which you have invented.
04:56How did you find out about my vibrator?
04:58The Scallop has his own methods of obtaining information.
05:06You? The Scallop?
05:08Yes, I'm the Scallop.
05:14It is my vengeance which is striking at all of you.
05:18It was my expedition.
05:20I uncovered the secret information and laid the plans which made it successful.
05:24And how was I rewarded?
05:26I was made the curator of an insignificant museum.
05:29While the rest of you received the fame and wealth that should have come to me.
05:34You can't touch that phone.
05:38Sit down.
05:42For the short time you have to live, your mind is completely under my control.
05:47You must obey my commands.
05:51You are a slave of the Purple Death.
05:54Purple Death?
05:56But how?
06:00The fumes from this cigar.
06:03I want to know more about the vibrator.
06:06It is a device for harnessing light and sound waves
06:10into a powerful force which will disintegrate any known material.
06:15It can be used by me as a powerful weapon of destruction.
06:19Yes.
06:20Splendid.
06:22Where are the plans?
06:23At home.
06:25In the sink.
06:26In the sink.
06:31Write down the combination.
06:51Ruber.
06:53You will take Professor Lyman out.
06:55He will obey your final instructions.
06:57Yes, sir.
07:03Step this way, Professor.
07:10Farewell, Lyman.
07:15You will find the plans in Lyman's safe.
07:18Here is the combination.
07:25Take these Purple Death bombs with you.
07:28They will be effective weapons if anyone interferes.
07:31Yes, sir.
07:46This is what we are looking for.
07:48Wait a minute!
07:55Throw your gun in the corner.
07:58You too.
08:25You too.
08:55Throw your gun!
08:56Throw your gun!
08:58Throw your gun!
09:24Police Commissioner Dryden speaking.
09:26This is Captain America.
09:27What's that?
09:28Where are you?
09:29Never mind that.
09:30Professor Lyman's life is in danger.
09:32Professor Lyman is dead.
09:34He stepped off a curb in front of a truck.
09:36Another Purple Death accident.
09:38Well, at least I've accounted for one of the gang.
09:40You'll find his body at Professor Lyman's house.
09:43That's all.
09:50Get me the District Attorney's office.
09:51This is the District Attorney's office.
09:54This is the District Attorney's office. This is Gail Richard speaking.
09:56Let me speak to the DA.
09:58Commissioner, Mr. Gardner is not here.
09:59But I expect to hear from him soon.
10:01Tell him that Captain America is on the job.
10:03He just killed one of the Purple Death murderers.
10:06I'll tell him.
10:13Good morning, Captain America.
10:15Come in, Gail.
10:17Commissioner Dryden just told me the news.
10:18Do you need any help?
10:21I will as soon as I get back to the office.
10:23Have Davis there.
10:24I have an important clue for him to analyze.
10:27Right. He'll be here.
10:29This stuff is distilled from the Cypridium, a little-known orchid.
10:33Highly concentrated, its fumes form a deadly poison
10:35which leaves those purple splotches on the victim's face.
10:38Careful. Don't drop it.
10:40Is it that dangerous?
10:41It surely is.
10:43One whip is enough.
10:45Do florists have this Cypridium plant?
10:47If you mind. It's very rare.
10:49Fine.
10:51We'll trick the guilty one into showing his hand.
10:54Gail, you and I will visit the dealers of rare flowers in the morning.
11:00I'm Gail Richards from the District Attorney's office.
11:02Yes, Miss Richards.
11:03We're trying to identify the plant from which this liquid was extracted.
11:06It may help in a criminal investigation.
11:14Sorry. I can't identify it.
11:22No, I... I don't recognize it.
11:25Thank you very much.
11:38Can I help you, Miss?
11:39I'm from the District Attorney's office.
11:41I have a plant extract which we're trying to identify with a murder investigation.
11:46I'm sorry, Miss. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you.
11:48I'm sorry, Miss. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you.
11:55I see you do know what the Purple Death Bomb is.
11:59You fooled me all right, but it isn't going to do you any good.
12:02Get in there.
12:03Don't talk. Move.
12:15Well, this name's wise to our setup.
12:18Turn around here.
12:20Higher up.
12:21Yes?
12:47Yes?
12:48Speaking.
12:49The girl from the District Attorney's office just came in.
12:52She had one of our Purple Death Bombs and tricked me into showing my hand.
12:55What'll I do with it?
12:57You have plenty of the extract. Use it.
13:20Yes, sir?
13:22I'm the District Attorney.
13:23Miss Richards wishes to meet you here.
13:25I haven't seen her.
13:27I'll wait outside.
13:50Take me to Miss Richards.
13:56Get on the other side of the room.
13:58This contains the Purple Deaths. Drop that gun or we'll all die.
14:20The brilliant action of Grant Gardner, the District Attorney,
14:23has exposed the source of the Purple Death Poison.
14:26The cypridium orchid from which it was derived will be destroyed wherever found.
14:30Mr. Gardner is conducting a searching investigation
14:33into the affairs and acquaintances of Professor Lyman,
14:36the latest victim of the poison.
14:40I've just come from the District Attorney's office.
14:42He's questioning all the survivors of the main experiment.
14:45I've just come from the District Attorney's office.
14:47He's questioning all the survivors of the main expedition.
14:50He doesn't suspect us.
14:52No.
14:54But we have something else to worry about.
14:58We are not the only ones who know the secret of Lyman's dynamic vibrator.
15:03Is there another set of plans?
15:05No.
15:06Worse than that.
15:08There's a working model which Lyman and his assistant Gregory
15:11constructed at Professor Doughty's laboratory.
15:13The District Attorney is taking some technicians there tonight to see a demonstration.
15:17And learn all about it.
15:19But if they learn how it works,
15:21then my secret weapon will no longer be a secret.
15:24And someone will ultimately devise another machine to counteract it.
15:28Therefore, the model and Gregory must be destroyed tonight.
15:33That won't be difficult.
15:35The directions with these plans show how to step up the power of the machine so high
15:40that it will destroy itself, along with the building and everyone in it.
15:45But suppose Captain America is on the job again?
15:48We know that Captain America gets information through the office of the District Attorney.
15:52All I need do is to give the District Attorney a tip about the Scaramouche
15:56that will send Captain America off on a false scent.
16:00And that I have arranged to do...
16:04tonight.
16:10This is Eddie, Mr. Gardner.
16:12I've got a hot tip on those Purple Death killings.
16:14Can you come over? I'm afraid to leave here.
16:17Where are you?
16:18A 204 in the arcade rooming house.
16:20All right. I'll be right over.
16:24What's he got?
16:25A tip on the Scaramouche. I'll have to see him.
16:27I don't like it, Grant. It might be a trap.
16:30Don't worry. I'll be careful.
16:32I'll phone Gregory that you're bringing the technical men.
16:35Go ahead with the demonstration and I'll be there as soon as I've seen Eddie.
16:39All right.
16:55Well, your phone call worked all right.
16:58Here comes Captain America.
17:00But I phoned the DA.
17:02That's right.
17:04And Captain America shows up as we expected.
17:07Well, you served your purpose, Eddie.
17:24Come in.
17:28Come on in.
17:34Come on in.
17:36Come on in.
17:48Start talking. Who's your boss?
17:50I don't know his name.
17:54Stop. There are two bullets left.
17:56Yes. I'll hit one presently.
17:59Wait. Wait. I'll talk.
18:01His name is Maxim.
18:04Keep talking.
18:05He wanted to get you out of the way.
18:07They're pulling a big job at the office of a guy named Dodge.
18:10I don't know what it's all about.
18:12Well, I do.
18:27Good evening, Mr. Gregory.
18:29Good evening, Miss Richards.
18:35Mr. Merritt and Mr. Nordner
18:37are here to witness your demonstration of the vibrator.
18:39Oh, yes. The DA telephoned me.
18:41I'm glad you came.
18:43I alone know the secret of this machine
18:45and it's a heavy responsibility.
18:47Come this way, please.
19:01First, I'll show you how the machine works
19:03and then I'll explain its construction.
19:06Let's go.
19:11In a few minutes,
19:13it will have generated sufficient power
19:15to destroy this miniature structure.
19:19Now, if you will step this way,
19:21you will see the result of the demonstration.
19:36This machine would be a deadly weapon
19:38in the hands of the scouts.
19:40That's true.
19:42And when the plants were stolen from Professor Lyman,
19:44they contained instructions
19:46for setting up the machine's power
19:48to 100 million volts.
19:50That's a lot of power.
19:52Yes, it is.
19:54It's a lot of power.
19:56It's a lot of power.
19:58It's a lot of power.
20:00It's a lot of power.
20:02It's a lot of power.
20:03It's a lot of power.
20:05This machine's power to 100 million volts,
20:07a force that would shatter a 20-storey building
20:09like an eggshell.
20:11Gregory's right, gentlemen.
20:15We have directions here
20:17and we'll give you a demonstration
20:19of what this machine can do to this building.
20:21I'm the first one to start it if anything gets it.
20:25Set the control panel.
20:27You can't get away with this.
20:30Now get into the other room, all of you.
20:33Before we wreck this building, I want all of Professor Dodge's papers.
20:44Open that vault.
20:45I said open that vault.
21:03Get them.
21:22Get in the vault.
21:23All of you.
21:24This is murder.
21:25That's right.
21:26Wholesale murder.
21:28All set.
21:29Start it up.
21:30I'll get the car ready for our getaway.
21:31Now, don't leave until you're sure the machine is running okay.
21:32Right.
21:33If that machine builds up to its full power, this building will collapse in a cloud of dust.
21:34I'll get the car ready for our getaway.
21:46Now, don't leave until you're sure the machine is running okay.
21:47Right.
21:48If that machine builds up to its full power, this building will collapse in a cloud of dust.
21:49Right.
21:50If that machine builds up to its full power, this building will collapse in a cloud of
21:51dust.
21:52Right.
21:53If that machine builds up to its full power, this building will collapse in a cloud of dust.
22:19Hold it.
22:37Captain, I'm out of herbs.
22:38What's happening in there?
