00:30Here it is again. It keeps waving back and forth just as last time.
00:53Can you get a bearing?
00:55It's like an eel. It keeps fluctuating 15 to 20 degrees.
01:00My guess is 270 more or less.
01:03Maybe we'll get a better rating when we get closer.
01:05I still say it doesn't sound right. Certainly not like anything I've ever picked up before.
01:11I'm picking up a visual image that could be it. It's unsteady just like that audio signal of yours, lass.
01:16270 degrees is the best I can do.
01:19Okay, you two. 270 it is. Changing attitude.
01:24These eerie signals have been puzzling scientists and confusing space communications for some time.
01:33Now, finally, the chief has decided to have Scott and his friends investigate the mysterious source of these signals in person.
01:45That thing acts like my old friend Captain O'Hara when he's had one too many.
01:49Well, after all, the reason we're here is that no one's been able to figure out those weird signals.
01:55Won't be long now.
01:56I leave it to the chief to pick on us every time he's got something he can't figure out.
02:01Glad he does. Makes the job more interesting.
02:17Skipper, you think anybody lives there?
02:20Obviously somebody's sending those crazy signals.
02:23I've been sending requests for transmission on one of our frequencies, but no results.
02:29Keep trying, Chris.
02:31There. I get a needle fluctuation. I'll try and tune in on that.
02:36Nope. Still nothing.
02:38Maybe it's siesta time down there.
02:41I don't like the looks of this place. Let's go home.
02:50Now what have I got?
02:52Sounds like Count Dracula and all his relatives.
02:55Shh. Let's listen to all this.
03:03Ooh, gives me the creeps.
03:05Let's get down and take a look.
03:35This place not only sounds spooky, it looks spooky.
03:41I can't even see the ground from these weird, misty clouds.
03:48Well, take it slow, Skipper. We need solid ground to set this baby down.
03:53Yes, please. No crash landings. I'd hate to be stuck here.
03:58Taurus, check the stern viewer. I can't see a thing down there.
04:02Nothing, Skipper. Nothing but heavy mist and weird forms.
04:32Is this a haunted planet?
04:51Tune in again next time for another mystifying episode with Scott McCloud, Space Angel.
05:044, 3, 2, 1, 0.
05:34Last time, the Chief sent Scott, Crystal, and Taurus on a journey to explore the origin of some strange radio signals from space.
05:42As they arrived at their destination, mysterious sounds seemed to come from ghostly shapes.
05:55We seem to be settling down in the valley. I can see mountains around us.
05:59There could be a swamp. That might account for the mist.
06:03I don't think so, Chris. Indicators show solid ground.
06:13Skipper, are you sure there's solid ground here somewhere?
06:17We're still going down.
06:19I only hope we don't damage the starduster on those rocks.
06:34This place smells dead.
06:37Taurus, you and I will take a look. Chris, you better stay at the starduster.
06:42Not again. I want to go, too.
06:45Sorry, Chris. Didn't you tell me you needed time to work out your expense account?
07:11Hello!
07:16Do you see what I see?
07:17I don't know, but I have a feeling we're being watched.
07:29Where'd he go?
07:31Beats me.
07:33Where was it, anyway?
07:53$14.29. 23.18 plus $6.71. Now, uh, let's see. That comes to $29.88.
08:11$29.89!
08:12Who's there?
08:16Oh, dear! What's going on here? How did you get in?
08:21I snuck in when you had the door open.
08:24But who are you? Or rather, what are you?
08:28I don't know. This is a comfortable chair.
08:31What do you mean you don't know?
08:33Nobody tells me anything. What's this button?
08:36Don't touch that!
08:38You mean, like this?
08:40Oh, no!
08:57You're a ghost, aren't you?
09:02Leave those buttons alone, you delinquent little ghost!
09:13Give her what's the last thing she's doing!
09:19Has she gone completely daft?
09:21What could have happened?
09:24Whee!
09:27You little monster! Now look what you've done!
09:30Pippa, do it!
09:32I'm trying!
09:34Whee!
09:43Let's see!
09:47The little ghost has sent the starduster spinning into space.
09:50Can Crystal Kane control a madness ship by herself?
09:53Don't miss the next exciting episode of Space Angels!
10:23Space Angels
10:36Last time, while Scott and Taurus went to explore the mysterious planet
10:40from which radio signals had been disrupting space communications,
10:43Chris was visited by a mischievous ghost
10:46who pressed the wrong button, causing the starduster to blast off
10:50and to perform a hair-raising series of acrobatic maneuvers.
10:57Stop! Stop!
10:59Okay! Stop!
11:04Not like that!
11:16I like it! Let's go faster!
11:35The green button! Quick!
11:37I can't reach it!
11:39Yippee!
11:47Now what's she doing?
11:49She must have gone plum loco!
11:51But she's blown the starduster before!
11:53I don't understand!
11:57Here she comes!
12:00Get back!
12:30I like it! Let's do it again!
12:40Oh, no you don't!
12:48Skipper, Crystal has got to be in some kind of trouble.
12:51I wish there was some way we could help.
12:53There they are! Go!
12:55Oh, what did you do with Humphrey?
12:57Humphrey? Who's Humphrey?
12:59You know perfectly well who Humphrey is.
13:03You stole him in that floating stovepipe of yours.
13:10What on earth?
13:15Before you accuse us of something we didn't do,
13:17would you mind telling us who you are?
13:19I'm the boss around here.
13:21How do you do?
13:23I'm Scott McCloud.
13:24What did you do with Humphrey?
13:27We want Humphrey! We want Humphrey!
13:36All right.
13:38So your name is Humphrey.
13:40Mine is Crystal.
13:42Shouldn't you be home in bed?
13:45You've got television!
13:51This is the chief. Who wants me?
13:53Oh, no!
13:55I said, who wants me?
13:57Who's calling?
13:58Me, Humphrey!
14:00I'm terribly sorry, sir, but...
14:02Humphrey who?
14:03What is this, some kind of a gag?
14:05You're not very funny.
14:07I don't like this show.
14:09I think I need glasses.
14:14Central Control.
14:15Yes, chief.
14:16What's the word from Scott?
14:18What in heaven's name is going on out there?
14:20But, sir, you just talked to the Starduster.
14:23I did no such thing.
14:24I got some kind of a jumbled voice.
14:26It made no sense at all.
14:27Chief, that signal came from the Starduster.
14:30We've been trying to reestablish contact,
14:32but all we get are those same eerie signals
14:35that Scott went out there to explore in the first place.
14:38Now, Humphrey, be a good little ghost,
14:42or whatever you are,
14:44and let me take over.
14:46Crystal will have to land the Starduster by herself
14:49and return Humphrey to his people
14:51in time to save Scott and Taurus.
14:53Can she do it?
14:54Don't miss the next exciting episode
14:57with Space Angel.
15:23Space Angel
15:37Last time, Humphrey, the delinquent ghost,
15:40was playing with the Starduster controls,
15:42causing the ship to do impossible acrobatics.
15:45While Crystal was trying to gain control of the ship,
15:48Scott and Taurus were confronted by a huge ghost.
15:51Space Angel
16:01Deep in a cave, a mock trial was being held.
16:05Where's Humphrey?
16:07We want Humphrey!
16:09We want Humphrey!
16:11Where's Humphrey?
16:12We want Humphrey back!
16:14We want Humphrey back!
16:17Where's Humphrey?
16:18We want Humphrey back!
16:20Skipper, you think maybe we better try to find Humphrey?
16:23Where's Humphrey?
16:25We want Humphrey back!
16:28Where's Humphrey?
16:29How would you suggest we go about it?
16:32Beats me, Skipper.
16:35We want Humphrey!
16:37We want Humphrey!
16:39The charge is kidnapping.
16:41Kidnapping.
16:42Kidnapping.
16:43Kidnapping.
16:44Kidnapping.
16:45Kidnapping.
16:46Kidnapping.
16:47Kidnapping.
16:48Kidnapping.
16:49Kidnapping.
16:50The sentence is death.
16:53Death.
16:54Now wait just one minute.
16:57He wants us to wait one minute.
16:59All right, we'll wait one minute.
17:01Now what?
17:03Gentlemen, we have not kidnapped Humphrey.
17:07We have never even seen Humphrey.
17:10And we don't want to see Humphrey.
17:13Why not?
17:14Why don't we want to see Humphrey?
17:16Why don't we want to see Humphrey?
17:19Kidnapping.
17:20Kidnapping.
17:21Kidnapping.
17:22Kidnapping.
17:23We want Humphrey back!
17:26We want Humphrey back!
17:29Where's Humphrey?
17:30We want Humphrey!
17:32Why don't we want to see Humphrey?
17:35Why don't we want to see Humphrey?
17:38Why not?
17:39Why don't...
17:40Why don't...
17:45All right, Humphrey.
17:47Now you stay put like a good little ghost.
17:50And no more nonsense.
17:53All right.
17:54Sit tight.
17:56All right.
17:58Here goes.
18:04Uh-oh.
18:05There go the automatic controls.
18:07You want me to help?
18:09Don't you dare.
18:11Look what I found.
18:13Give it to me.
18:18Now we're really in the soup.
18:20Soup?
18:21What kind of soup?
18:22Where?
18:23I am going to try to bring this thing down manually.
18:27Please be good and don't touch anything.
18:32What did you do with Humphrey?
18:34We want Humphrey!
18:36We want Humphrey back!
18:39We want Humphrey back!
18:42Skipper, I think they want us to get Humphrey back.
18:45If we promise to help you find this Humphrey,
18:49will you go and leave us alone?
18:52All right.
18:53You find Humphrey and we'll leave you alone.
18:56Leave us alone?
18:57All right.
18:58You find Humphrey and we'll leave you alone.
19:00You find Humphrey and we'll leave you alone.
19:03Taurus, I bet he crept into the Starduster with Crystal.
19:08You find Humphrey and we'll leave you alone.
19:12Humphrey and we'll leave you alone.
19:20I've never landed the Starduster manually before.
19:24Now, where did he go?
19:27You looking for me?
19:31What are you doing up there?
19:34I'm pretending I fell.
19:36Well, stop it and help me get this ship down.
19:41Can Crystal get Humphrey back in time to save Scott and Taurus?
19:45Don't miss the next exciting episode of Space Angels!
20:11Space Angels
20:19Space Angels
20:37Last time, while Crystal tried to stop the little ghost Humphrey
20:41from fooling around with the controls of the Starduster,
20:43the other ghosts accused Scott and Taurus of kidnapping Humphrey,
20:47while the Chief contemplated sending the Space Force after Scott and his friends.
20:53Now I'm pretending I'm an image.
20:55You come here.
20:57Okay, miss. Whatever you say.
21:01Now you sit right down there and watch that needle.
21:05Uh, yes, uh, you mean this one?
21:09Right. When it swings to one side or the other, call out.
21:14Roger.
21:15Okay, here we go.
21:23Yippee! The needle's moving.
21:26Okay, that's good.
21:32Now it's all the way down.
21:35You're a good co-pilot, Humphrey.
21:38Hang on, we're about to land.
21:41Uh, yes, uh.
21:46Yippee!
22:07In a few minutes, we'll have Humphrey back for you.
22:11I hope you're right, Skipper.
22:13So do I.
22:14You'd better be right.
22:32What a landing.
22:34Beautiful. And just in the nick of time.
22:40Welcome, Lassie. Beautiful landing.
22:43Chris, what happened?
22:45Did you see, um, a ghost named Humphrey?
22:50Back off, boy. Humphrey!
22:53I sure did. He helped me fly the Starduster.
22:59Hi there, Grandpa. I've been flying a spaceship.
23:03You wait till I get you home.
23:06Now, gentlemen, we're going to have to do something about your broadcast frequencies.
23:12They're jamming space communications with those weird sounds which can be heard everywhere.
23:18But, sir, that's our intention.
23:20Ever since we learned that you people don't believe in ghosts,
23:23we had to try and prove that we really exist.
23:26Well, I guess you've made your point.
23:29And I'll be glad to tell everyone about Humphrey.
23:31Hooray! I'll be famous!
23:34Yes, Stephanie.
23:36If we promise to spread the word,
23:38will you agree to stop that giant shortwave transmitter of yours?
23:43All right, it's a deal.
23:45But we'll keep checking, and if people stop believing in us,
23:48we'll have to start broadcasting again.
23:50That's a deal.
23:52Now, my friends and I better get back and spread the good word about you.
23:59I certainly feel safer with you in that seat instead of that wild Humphrey.
24:05I think you did fine, lass, just fine.
24:09What are we going to tell the chief?
24:12You mean like there are ghosts on this planet,
24:15and one of them named Humphrey nearly got away with swiping the star, does he?
24:19He'll never believe a word of it.
24:22He better, or they'll start broadcasting again.
24:25I want to be there when you tell him, Scott.
24:28I want to see his face.
24:30Scott, this is the chief.
24:32Where have you been?
24:33What's going on out there?
24:35And I don't want any crazy stories.
24:52Tune in again next time for another exciting adventure with Scott McCloud, Space Angel.
