00:00:01This is the Dumont Television Network.
00:00:54The first studies of a new planet, which we of the galaxy contemplate colonizing, are
00:00:59almost always studies of the atmosphere and of the temperature.
00:01:03Most are poisonous atmospheres, either steaming hot or impossibly cold, depending upon the
00:01:10planet's relative position to the sun.
00:01:13In the past 500 years, our scientists have conquered the atmospheres and the cold of the
00:01:18outer planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
00:01:26By constructing tremendous atmospheric inverters and heating units that have permitted Earth
00:01:31people to colonize these rich worlds.
00:01:43One of the principal scouting assignments of the Galaxy Bureau of Investigation is to check
00:01:49constantly the atmosphere and temperature, as well as to test certain secret equipment
00:01:54in the units which only GBI personnel are authorized to know.
00:01:59Well, that's finished with my test for Pluto.
00:02:03There's some traces of methane getting back into the oxygen.
00:02:07Dangerous, somehow?
00:02:08Not yet, but it could become dangerous.
00:02:10We'd better order a converter repair key to check up on the secret GBI equipment.
00:02:15It's time for the check-in of Commander Richards.
00:02:17I'll tell it.
00:02:18Right.
00:02:20Gordon in Sky Flash 2 calling GBI.
00:02:23Gordon in Sky Flash 2 calling GBI.
00:02:26GBI communications answering Gordon in Sky Flash 2.
00:02:29Come in.
00:02:30Let me talk to Commander Richards.
00:02:38Blastmarked it mind, Commander Richards.
00:02:40The answer will you take the call?
00:02:42At least!
00:02:43Welcome?
00:02:43And Beelah with that memory.alan
00:02:44Richards, who answered, will you take the call. forании
00:02:44Castle on, Commander Richards! Commander Richards!
00:02:45Commander Richards!
00:02:46He Congratulations!
00:02:47Just a few
00:02:48inches more, Dr. Stark! A few inches
00:02:52or a million miles... As long as
00:02:55I will it, you cannot prove.
00:02:57Who?
00:03:02That's funny.
00:03:03There's no answer in Richard's office.
00:03:05Well, that's not possible.
00:03:06There's always someone there, 24 hours a day.
00:03:09Gentleman?
00:03:10Yeah, what's wrong?
00:03:12Gentleman, I am Zydarine.
00:03:16The Mad Witch of Neptune.
00:03:18Yes.
00:03:19The Mad Witch of Neptune.
00:03:21That is what they called to me before I was banished.
00:03:24How did you get in here?
00:03:25Into my office.
00:03:27Into the G.B.I.
00:03:29As you said, Commander, I'm a witch.
00:03:32Witches can't go anyplace.
00:03:34Through walls, linens of miles, through stairs,
00:03:39all the way of their pond.
00:03:43Well, give me Dr. Zydarine.
00:03:46Just...
00:03:47There's no answer in here.
00:03:49Try Commander Richard's office again.
00:03:53Either you are an apparition projected into our minds
00:03:56and are not present in substance at all, or...
00:03:58Or, Dr. Zarkov, how else would I enter into the inner sanctum of G.B.I.
00:04:03without opening even a door?
00:04:06One moment.
00:04:08I'm not here.
00:04:12Next moment.
00:04:14I am.
00:04:17Oh, no you don't.
00:04:18Commander, will you take the call?
00:04:21Commander Richard?
00:04:22How does your scientific mind explain this?
00:04:27An apparition, as I said.
00:04:31Oh, you have discovered the secret of matter duplication and projection.
00:04:36A secret known only to authorized D.B.I. personnel,
00:04:40like the secret of the units that control the atmosphere converters on Neptune,
00:04:44Saturn, Uranus, Pluto.
00:04:47What about them?
00:04:50What do you know about the secret units?
00:04:52The keys, gentlemen.
00:04:54The keys.
00:04:56The keys?
00:04:58What are you talking about?
00:05:00If my information is correct,
00:05:01each of you carries a very interesting little key.
00:05:05Together, put to properties,
00:05:07these keys will cause the explosion of the remote controlled destruction unit
00:05:11of the atmosphere converters.
00:05:14Very interesting indeed.
00:05:16Destruction unit.
00:05:18You must be out of your mind.
00:05:21Why would we install a destruction unit
00:05:24in a machine designed to manufacture a life-giving atmosphere?
00:05:28There's a constant threat to each planet's government
00:05:32in case any one of them should go to war against a neighboring planet.
00:05:37You can destroy the aggressor's civilization by the turn of your two keys.
00:05:43Even if this were so, what does it have to do with you?
00:05:46You did remember I was banished from Neptune.
00:05:49Do you also remember I swore I would have my revenge?
00:06:03I don't get it.
00:06:04Ten minutes and GBI communications still hasn't called us back.
00:06:08They haven't located Commander Richards or Dr. Darkoff.
00:06:12I have a feeling something's happened.
00:06:15Inside of GBI headquarters?
00:06:17Come on, Gail.
00:06:18If there's one place in the entire galaxy that's safe,
00:06:21it's GBI headquarters.
00:06:22I know, but it's also a fact that
00:06:24Commander Richards' office is the nurse center of the galaxy.
00:06:27If he isn't there, someone must be.
00:06:29Someone must be there 24 hours a day.
00:06:32I mean that every living thing on Neptune
00:06:35shall die.
00:06:39If, if such a destruction unit existed,
00:06:44I'll bet, I'll just bet you'd carry out that threat.
00:06:49Fortunately for Neptune, there is no such unit.
00:06:53And we, of course, we have no keys.
00:06:58My hand!
00:06:59My hand is being forced into my pie!
00:07:10My hand is being forced into my revenge.
00:07:12My hand, Commander Richards and Dr. Darkoff.
00:07:14You hold the keys to my revenge on Neptune.
00:07:18Just give me a chance to, to intercede for you.
00:07:23I'll get you a full target.
00:07:26Neptune will allow you to return.
00:07:28Allow me to return.
00:07:30I shall return, all right.
00:07:33But only the ghosts of those who fancied me will be left to bring.
00:07:43Flash Gordon and Sky Flash 2 calling GBI.
00:07:46Flash Gordon and Sky Flash 2 calling GBI.
00:07:48Come in.
00:07:52What's the score on Commander Richards and Dr. Zarko?
00:07:57Look, that's impossible.
00:07:58Someone's got to be in Richards' office.
00:08:05Wait a minute.
00:08:08We'll be coming in for a landing on Neptune in 10 minutes.
00:08:15Contact us at GBI headquarters there.
00:08:20Okay, Deputy Gordon.
00:08:24Okay, so it looks strange.
00:08:26But I tell you, nothing could have happened to them inside of GBI headquarters.
00:08:30I hope you're right.
00:08:33We're entering Neptune's landing channel.
00:08:36Okay, cut the landing speed.
00:08:38Right.
00:08:52Nothing, no one can resist my will.
00:08:57Neptuneians, in a few seconds, every one of you will breathe a pointless methane gas.
00:09:02And you will know that I, thy dream, have had my revenge.
00:09:18Put in the keys.
00:09:20I command you.
00:09:23No.
00:09:25No.
00:09:26Turn them.
00:09:29No.
00:09:30No.
00:09:42No.
00:09:44No.
00:09:47No.
00:09:48No.
00:09:48No.
00:09:49No.
00:09:50No.
00:09:50No.
00:09:51No.
00:09:52No.
00:09:52No.
00:09:52No.
00:09:53No.
00:09:53No.
00:09:54No.
00:09:54No.
00:09:55No.
00:09:56No.
00:10:01Call in GBI Earth. Come in, GBI Earth.
00:10:05Call in GBI Earth. Come in, GBI Earth.
00:10:09Have you been able to contact GBI Earth?
00:10:11I can't, Gordon. I can't make contact.
00:10:13Explosions must have knocked down all the communication lines.
00:10:15Our tele-radio transmitters are about a half a mile away from the converters.
00:10:18They must have been blown up, too.
00:10:20You know what this means?
00:10:21Yeah, for some reason, Zykov and Commander Richards detonated a control file.
00:10:25But their only authority to do that can come from the Galactic Council.
00:10:29And then, only if Neptune has attacked another planet.
00:10:32That's what I don't understand.
00:10:33Five minutes ago, we were talking to GBI and out of word we said about trouble with Neptune.
00:10:37What are we going to do?
00:10:44Have you been able to contact them yet?
00:10:46No, we're absolutely cut off from all other planets.
00:10:49Tell the people not to get panicking and to stay in their homes.
00:10:51In the meantime, alert the military and the police to watch out for all attempts to escape from this planet.
00:10:57It's going to be difficult, Flash.
00:10:58Everybody will be trying to get away.
00:11:00Well, all the spaceports will be watched by the military and the police.
00:11:03No one should be able to, unless we all can.
00:11:07Right.
00:11:08We've got to get back to Sky Flash and contact GBI.
00:11:10We've got to find out what's going on.
00:11:12There's only enough oxygen on Neptune to last the population for about 48 hours.
00:11:16There aren't enough spaceships in the entire galaxy to evacuate a planet in that time.
00:11:22Well, come on.
00:11:23We've got a lot of work to do.
00:11:30Alert.
00:11:31Alert all military and police posts on Neptune.
00:11:33Alert.
00:11:34All military and police posts on Neptune.
00:11:38Alert.
00:11:39Alert.
00:11:40All spaceships are to be grounded.
00:11:42Allow no one to leave Neptune.
00:11:44No one is to leave Neptune.
00:11:48Arrest anyone trying to escape.
00:11:51Repeat.
00:11:52Arrest anyone trying to escape.
00:11:55Arrest anyone trying to escape.
00:12:17Arrest anyone trying to escape.
00:12:22Arrest anyone trying to escape.
00:12:31Arrest anyone trying to escape.
00:12:34Arrest anyone trying to escape.
00:12:35Arrest anyone trying to escape.
00:12:36Arrest anyone trying to escape.
00:12:36Arrest anyone trying to escape.
00:12:36Arrest anyone trying to escape.
00:12:36Arrest anyone trying to escape.
00:12:36Arrest anyone trying to escape.
00:12:37Arrest anyone trying to escape.
00:12:38Arrest anyone trying to escape.
00:12:40Arrest anyone trying to escape.
00:12:43Arrest anyone trying to escape.
00:12:53The End
00:13:15The Mad Witch of Neptune, Zydarine, using a strange sort of electro-magic, forces Commander Richard and Dr. Zarkov to
00:13:22detonate the methane-to-oxygen converter on Neptune.
00:13:33The powerful atomic bomb, detonated by remote control from Earth, completely destroys the converter and the pumping system.
00:13:41Panic spreads like wildfire throughout the Neptunian populace.
00:13:47Coincidentally...
00:13:51The End
00:13:58The End
00:14:04The End
00:14:05The End
00:14:09The End
00:14:14The End
00:14:30Flash Gordon and Sky Flash 2 calling GBI. Flash Gordon and Sky Flash 2 calling GBI. Emergency. This is an
00:14:37emergency. Come in.
00:14:39GBI's communication is here. We still have to locate the Commander Richard or Dr. Zarkov to turn to Earth.
00:14:44Now listen, listen carefully. We've landed on Neptune. Right after we set down, the methane-to-oxygen converters were blown
00:14:50up.
00:14:51Blown up? But that's not possible.
00:14:53Wait. Have any reports of Neptune attacking another planet been reported to GBI?
00:14:59No, sir.
00:15:00No, sir. I'm glad to do.
00:15:01That's all I wanted to know. For the next 48 hours, Dale Arden and I will stay here in Neptune
00:15:05and try to get the secret GBI auxiliary converter hooked into the central system.
00:15:10I'll talk to Mr. Richard Day as soon as we log here.
00:15:15You'll probably find him and Dr. Zarkov and convert a detonation vault free.
00:15:20You have served me well, gentlemen.
00:15:23You'll pay for this die-to-ring.
00:15:25I swear by all I hope, say, but you'll pay for this.
00:15:28Millions of lives for a petty revenge.
00:15:31Yes, sir.
00:15:32It is not I who will pay for those millions of lives, gentlemen, but you.
00:15:37Yes, you.
00:15:39Yes, sir. You don't think that they... Why? Why will they do it? It must have been someone else.
00:15:46Only they have the keys to close the detonation circuit.
00:15:53In a few seconds I will vanish as I appeared, but your minds will not remember that I was ever
00:16:01here.
00:16:01I am leaving you now.
00:16:05Forget it.
00:16:07Forget it.
00:16:09Forget it.
00:16:12Forget it.
00:16:13Forget it.
00:16:15Forget it.
00:16:15Forget it.
00:16:16Forget it.
00:16:19Forget it.
00:16:20Sarkov, we are in the converted demolition vault.
00:16:24How did we get here?
00:16:26Have a great day!
00:16:38Hopefully you will not.
00:16:40We will not land all the way here, but yes.
00:16:46Over there!
00:16:55We will be the seat of the door.
00:17:15Welcome.
00:17:17Welcome back, Zydarine.
00:17:20It would seem that all went as planned.
00:17:23In the last detail, Prostar, exactly as we planted together all these years of exile.
00:17:32See them.
00:17:34Can you see them?
00:17:36Those miserable people of Neptune.
00:17:48Collapsing, gasping for air.
00:17:52Beautiful, beautiful.
00:17:55Is it not, Prostar?
00:17:57Revenge is due to the Zydarine when the wound is as deep as ours.
00:18:05Let us see what is happening on Neptune.
00:18:08And these are the facts as straight as I can give them to you people at Neptune.
00:18:12We have about 48 hours to get the...
00:18:14Chief Security Scout of the GBI. Flash Gordon.
00:18:17Good job.
00:18:18Every available engineer and workman here on Neptune will be diverting the pipelines to
00:18:23the auxiliary converter emplacement.
00:18:25With your help, we can do it.
00:18:27Stay in your home.
00:18:28Don't exert yourself.
00:18:31Save your strength and your breath.
00:18:34Breathing in the last few hours will become difficult.
00:18:36But do not become panicky.
00:18:38Together we can do it.
00:18:41And remember, do not try to escape from Neptune.
00:18:45Even if every available spaceship in the galaxy were here,
00:18:48not one hundredth part of the population could be taken out.
00:18:53If one of us dies, all of us will.
00:18:57If one lives, we'll all live.
00:19:01And now let's go to work.
00:19:05Why didn't you tell me there was auxiliary equipment on Neptune?
00:19:09I didn't know it.
00:19:10It's the first I've heard of it.
00:19:11It was her job to know.
00:19:13I'm sending you to Neptune.
00:19:15Find the auxiliary equipment and destroy it before it can be used.
00:19:35The End
00:20:04Find them!
00:20:06Find them!
00:20:13There it is, Dale. The auxiliary converter.
00:20:15This is the Galactic Council placed it over 200 years ago on his secret vault.
00:20:19How wise they were. How lucky for us.
00:20:23Oh, we've got a lot of work ahead of us, getting it in working order before the pipelines reach here.
00:20:27While I was telecasting to the people of Neptune, did you check in the pumping system?
00:20:31Yes. Sonar, the chief engineer, says he has about enough standby pumps to take care of about 60% of
00:20:38the oxygen lines.
00:20:3960%?
00:20:40Well, but don't worry. The people in the areas that are not being covered are being evacuated to covered areas.
00:20:45Okay, but we don't have much time. We'll start popping those speed lines in those entries over there before we
00:20:50know it.
00:20:52Flash, do you... do you think we really can make it in time?
00:20:57We've got to. Save your breath. We'll need it.
00:21:00Alright, well, thanks.
00:21:08Let's see, ma'am.
00:21:10Now, let's see.
00:21:30THE END
00:22:05Hey, Dale, the first line.
00:22:35THE END
00:23:13True star.
00:23:16True star.
00:23:19True star.
00:23:19Here.
00:23:22You must find them.
00:23:25You must destroy the auxiliary equipment.
00:23:29Revenge.
00:23:31True star.
00:23:32We must have our revenge.
00:23:37One star.
00:23:40You cannot stop now.
00:23:43Find them.
00:23:45Find them.
00:23:48Find them.
00:24:17Turn it on, Dale.
00:24:23I did it.
00:24:46I did it.
00:24:48And why did he try to stop us from turning on the converter?
00:24:51Maybe it had something to do with the explosion of the original one.
00:24:55That's wishful thinking, Flash.
00:24:57After all, Commander Richards and Dr. Zarkov have practically admitted they blew it up.
00:25:01They've admitted nothing.
00:25:03Except that they were found in the remote-controlled demolition room.
00:25:06And their individual keys were in the Neptune locks.
00:25:09Look, you know I love them both.
00:25:12Why, next to you, they mean more to me than anybody else in the universe.
00:25:16But how can we fight such red-handed evidence?
00:25:20Two points, Dale.
00:25:22First, neither Zarkov nor Richards knows how he got to the vault.
00:25:26Second, neither one remembers putting their keys in and closing the circuit.
00:25:29I'm afraid no court would believe it.
00:25:32No, but we do.
00:25:34Now, if we can find out what made them go to the vault,
00:25:36and what made them put their keys in and close the circuits,
00:25:39well, probably we can clear their names.
00:25:42And maybe he can give us the answer.
00:25:47No.
00:25:51But I tried.
00:25:52I did everything you asked.
00:25:54I know.
00:25:56I know.
00:25:57What's that all about?
00:25:59He seems to be talking to someone else.
00:26:02Bring me back.
00:26:03We can try again.
00:26:04Bring me back.
00:26:06Bring you back where?
00:26:08Where?
00:26:08Come on, talk.
00:26:09Bring you back where?
00:26:23Look.
00:26:27What is it?
00:26:29It's the insignia he was wearing.
00:26:31You feel it.
00:26:34It has warmth and texture.
00:26:36Just like human flesh.
00:26:39Yet it's metal.
00:26:40Some kind of a strange alloy.
00:26:42It's a clue, Dale.
00:26:43If we can find out where that came from,
00:26:46perhaps we can find out who was really responsible for the detonation.
00:27:06You have failed again.
00:27:08Neptune lives.
00:27:10Breathe.
00:27:11Because you have failed.
00:27:13But it's not too late.
00:27:14You leave.
00:27:15Now that we know where the converter is located, we can blow it up ourselves.
00:27:20You fool.
00:27:21You stupid, blundering fool.
00:27:23But we can do it, I tell you.
00:27:25Flash Gordon and the girl will be gone in a few minutes.
00:27:27And when they are gone, a radium ray will flood the entire installation.
00:27:32It will kill instantly anybody that enters its field.
00:27:46The witch they called.
00:27:49The witch of Neptune.
00:27:52Because I controlled the royal family.
00:27:56Because I was the power behind the throne.
00:27:59I was the ruler.
00:28:01You will rule again, almighty Zydebe.
00:28:05They bowed to me, kissed my hand.
00:28:08Everyone trembled when my name was made.
00:28:12Yes, I will rule Neptune again.
00:28:15But this time I will be the queen.
00:28:18The ruler in name.
00:28:21As well as that.
00:28:31The throne was here.
00:28:34In my hand.
00:28:37It was you.
00:28:39Your blundering stupidity that ruined it all.
00:28:43Almighty Zydarin, you have not lost.
00:28:46There is a way.
00:28:47A way for you to hold in your hands the power of the galaxy.
00:28:52What do you mean?
00:28:53You have thought to use all of this to conquer only Neptune.
00:28:59But why?
00:29:00Why merely Neptune?
00:29:03The machines you possess give you the power to control every planet in the galaxy.
00:29:08Yes.
00:29:10Yes.
00:29:11Yes.
00:29:12Every planet in the galaxy, I can penetrate into the most secret chambers of the galaxy.
00:29:21Through this, I am all powerful.
00:29:26In this, I have the strength of ten men.
00:29:31There is no knowledge, no secret in the universe I cannot gain.
00:29:36With this, my brain recorder.
00:29:50What do you make of it, Dale?
00:29:52Recognize any of the metals in that alloy?
00:29:55It has a tractor-sealed base, but there are about seven other elements which I can't identify.
00:30:00Tractor-sealed?
00:30:01That's a metal that's found on Saturn, isn't it?
00:30:03Yes.
00:30:04In small quantities on Pluto and Arena.
00:30:08That narrows its origin down to three possible planets.
00:30:14Wasn't this disk gray when we first landed on Neptune?
00:30:18Yes.
00:30:20It's turning black.
00:30:22And the insignia, which was black, is turning gray.
00:30:26I have been blinded by my desire for revenge, Prostar.
00:30:31I hold the power to control the entire galaxy.
00:30:37And you can.
00:30:39If first you destroy the Galaxy Bureau of Investigation.
00:30:43They have the knowledge that stands in your way.
00:30:46Then why destroy them, Prostar?
00:30:49They will serve me.
00:30:51First, I will record all the scientific knowledge possessed by Dr. Zorkoff.
00:30:56The military knowledge of Commander Richards.
00:31:00That is the star, Prostar.
00:31:03Soon, soon, the mad witch of Neptune shall rule their galaxy.
00:31:10What do you make of it?
00:31:12Obviously, it's an alloy that's sensitive to some sort of emanation.
00:31:16The further away it is from the source of the emanation, the more the color changes.
00:31:21If that's true, when we get close to the right planet, the disk will turn toward white and the insignia
00:31:28toward black.
00:31:30It's even better than a bloodhound.
00:31:32As soon as we've talked to Dr. Zorkoff and Commander Richards again, we'll take off and let our little alloy
00:31:38bloodhound lead us to its home.
00:31:40I hope they're all right.
00:31:42How terrible it must be for them.
00:31:45Two men who have devoted their entire lives to loyal service to the galaxy, accused of the greatest crime they
00:31:52could commit.
00:31:57good.
00:31:58You guys?
00:32:12Good.
00:32:13Good.
00:32:15Good.
00:32:17Good.
00:32:18Good.
00:32:18Good.
00:32:18Good.
00:32:19Good.
00:32:19Good.
00:32:19Good.
00:32:19Good.
00:32:19Good.
00:32:20I've been outside that door every second.
00:32:35but i swear there's no way they could have gone i didn't leave my post outside that door for a
00:32:39second flash what do you make of it i can't believe that either dr zarkoff or commander
00:32:44richards would try to escape try to escape but where are they they didn't i don't know just now
00:32:51i've got an idea how i can find out come on dale all right but where's who wherever this alloy
00:32:59flood down leads it
00:33:07this is guard turbler special post five sound the red alarm dr zarkoff and commander richards have
00:33:13escaped
00:33:20she comes with the prisoners her tratocele alloy tracer disc is entering the saturn field
00:33:43welcome gentlemen i hope the journey from earth to saturn was not too uncomfortable
00:33:51saturn how can we be on saturn when not 15 minutes ago we're in my office at gbi on earth
00:33:59a matter transmitter machine yes this is it here
00:34:05matter transmitter yes the elements of our bodies were broken down into electrical units and
00:34:11transmitted through space when i appeared in your office commander i focused this disc upon each of
00:34:18you i see the remote control projector for the matter transmitter my improvement upon your own design of a
00:34:26one-way matter transmitter machine dr zarkoff my design why that's impossible that's top secret gbi
00:34:33information top secret when i have need of information i assure you there have always been ways of
00:34:40getting it just as you have served my purpose so have others
00:34:52we dr zarkoff and i have served your purpose
00:34:57ah yes i forgot the last time we met i erased all memory the meeting from your mind
00:35:04pro star put the memory back into their minds it is in the electro memory file under gbi's arco frichards
00:35:26zydering the witch of neptune it was you you forced us to demolish the methane to oxygen converter on neptune
00:35:53sit down
00:35:59strap them in
00:36:06a
00:36:07a
00:36:07a
00:36:08a
00:36:10a
00:36:10a
00:36:12a
00:36:13a
00:36:14a
00:36:14a
00:36:14a
00:36:33At least we know we're not guilty of destroying the converter.
00:36:37That's little satisfaction when we know that millions of lives are lost.
00:36:41What happened on Neptune?
00:36:46Was anybody saved?
00:36:47Did they at least try to get the children out?
00:36:51I will answer you this way.
00:36:53My revenge is not complete.
00:36:57Zydarine, we warn you.
00:36:58You warn me?
00:37:00You, my prisoners, and on the outside the most wanted criminals in the history of the galaxy,
00:37:06you dare to warn me.
00:37:09No.
00:37:10You will serve me again.
00:37:12Now, as I took from your minds every recollection of my part in your crime against Neptune,
00:37:18I will now take from your minds all of the knowledge they possess.
00:37:25Doctor, can she, can she do this?
00:37:28Certainly she can.
00:37:29The electronic brain recorder is an elementary device,
00:37:33the principles of which have been known for over a thousand years.
00:37:37Well, if you know how it works, you must know how to combat it.
00:37:40Only a psyllium headpiece can prevent the reading ray from entering the brain.
00:37:44I'm sorry, Commander.
00:37:46I don't happen to have one handy.
00:37:49The knowledge that she takes from us,
00:37:52it will still be in our brains.
00:37:55What about it?
00:37:57Do we retain our knowledge?
00:38:00No, Dr. Zarkov.
00:38:02There is an eraser ray that follows the recorder ray
00:38:05as it passes over every inch of your brain.
00:38:08Zadarine, listen.
00:38:10You can't do this.
00:38:12Between us, we hold the knowledge upon which the safety of the entire galaxy depends.
00:38:17Exactly the information I want.
00:38:19Every morsel of it.
00:38:21The galaxy.
00:38:23What do I care for its safety?
00:38:25All I want is the power to make every living human bend to my will.
00:38:31Start the ray flow.
00:38:33I want the test.
00:38:35Settings at 8, 12, 1,000.
00:38:44A very simple setting for the commonest and simplest memory.
00:38:50What did you say your name is?
00:38:56Why, it's Richards.
00:38:58Paul Richards.
00:39:02Open the ray locks and record the setting, Prostar.
00:39:32Are you all right?
00:39:34Yes, I think so.
00:39:36I didn't feel anything.
00:39:38Oh, it's painless.
00:39:39A perfectly painless operation.
00:39:42And I still have my memory.
00:39:45Really?
00:39:47What did you say your name is?
00:39:52Why, it's...
00:39:54Yeah.
00:39:56Yeah.
00:40:09Are we getting anyplace?
00:40:11Now, see for yourself, Dale.
00:40:12When we left Earth, the disk was cold black and the insignia clear white.
00:40:16Halfway point.
00:40:17It's as though we're at the halfway point.
00:40:19From here on, the disk should turn white and the insignia black.
00:40:24Halfway point.
00:40:26Let's see where we are now.
00:40:29If this is the halfway mark, I'll be able to figure out exactly where we're going.
00:40:34We should be about halfway through the asteroid belt.
00:40:37No, we're about three quarters of the way through it.
00:40:40At space point AB12.
00:40:44Well, that means our destination is, uh...
00:40:46That is, if our little alloyed bloodhound isn't playing tricks on us.
00:40:51That's all we've got to go on.
00:40:53It's the only possible either the whereabouts of Dr. Zarkoff and Commander Richards.
00:40:58I wonder where they are.
00:41:00And how they escaped, I mean left, GBI without being seen.
00:41:04How is it possible?
00:41:07Flash feel of it.
00:41:09Remember how warm it was before?
00:41:11As though it were a living thing?
00:41:14Yeah, now it's stone cold.
00:41:16It's as though something had been giving it warmth.
00:41:19And that something had been turned off now.
00:41:22A machine of some kind.
00:41:24That controls this disk by remote control.
00:41:27Well, at least the color continues to change.
00:41:30Which means that the machine hasn't been completely turned off.
00:41:34Yeah.
00:41:39Rostar.
00:41:40Take setting for Zarkoff.
00:41:43Brain recording 92.
00:41:45It's the complete plan for a negativizer ray gun.
00:41:50Ready, Siderin.
00:41:5236.
00:41:544A.
00:41:559.
00:41:58It's getting wider.
00:42:00Han, we just passed Jupiter.
00:42:02We should be over Saturn in another few hours.
00:42:05And once we get there, the real job begins.
00:42:08With Saturn being as large as it is,
00:42:10it's going to be like looking for a grain of metal dust in the firmament
00:42:13to find out exactly where this alloy bloodhound roosts.
00:42:16And now, a brain recording of Commander Richards.
00:42:19The outer defense radar locations on planets, planetoids, and satellites.
00:42:27There it is.
00:42:29Saturn coming up on radar.
00:42:32Saturn coming up on radar.
00:42:32At last.
00:42:34It's almost white.
00:42:36As we move closer, you can almost see a change.
00:42:39But where do we land?
00:42:41And where do we start looking when we do?
00:42:43I'm going to rocket break around the planet until we hit the atmosphere.
00:42:46Then I'll work into a series of landing break ellipses until we find it.
00:42:50Find what?
00:42:51The spot where the disc shows the clearest white.
00:42:54Hang on.
00:43:14It's getting so high.
00:43:16Look.
00:43:17Now it's becoming transparent.
00:43:19Hang on for another turn.
00:43:32Okay, get sent to a landing.
00:43:34Right.
00:44:03Now it's becoming transparent.
00:44:04Now it's becoming transparent.
00:44:07Now it's becoming transparent.
00:44:07Now it's becoming transparent.
00:44:07Now it's becoming transparent.
00:44:08Now it's becoming transparent.
00:44:09Now it's becoming transparent.
00:44:11Now it's becoming transparent.
00:44:11Now it's becoming transparent.
00:44:14Now it's becoming transparent.
00:44:15Now it's becoming transparent.
00:44:17Now it's becoming transparent.
00:44:21it's a high-frequency machine of some kind it's further down i guess
00:44:58uh...
00:45:00uh...
00:45:03uh...
00:45:04uh...
00:45:16uh...
00:45:28Look, it's Dr. Zarkoff and Commander Richard.
00:45:32There you are. Don't move or I'll stop.
00:45:35It is I who give the orders here.
00:45:37That's what's wrong.
00:45:39I can't move my arms or legs.
00:45:43What are you doing?
00:45:44And what have you done to them?
00:45:45They've emptied their minds of their identities, their past lives,
00:45:49and most important, every scientific and defensive secret of the GBI which they possessed.
00:45:57You're lying.
00:45:59They'd never give up that information.
00:46:03No, sir.
00:46:05Let her see for herself.
00:46:12Dr. Zarkoff.
00:46:15Commander Richard, talk to me.
00:46:21What is it?
00:46:26Don't you know me?
00:46:27It's Dale.
00:46:28Stay alive.
00:46:30Think.
00:46:32Think.
00:46:34Try to remember.
00:46:44All they ever knew is here, in this, an electronic memory file.
00:46:50Billions and billions of tiny electrical units, which I will transfer to my mind and use to gain the complete
00:46:58control of the galaxy.
00:47:01You are wasting your strength.
00:47:05No man can move against the power in this wand.
00:47:11Stop him.
00:47:26Are you all right?
00:47:28Yeah, I'm okay, Dale.
00:47:32What about them?
00:47:34Their memory's gone.
00:47:35Their minds are complete blank.
00:47:37Well, at least, at least we can clear their name.
00:47:42That's not enough, Dale.
00:47:44Somehow, someway, we've got to find that woman before she can use the knowledge she got from their minds to
00:47:50destroy the galaxy.
00:47:53Wherever she's disappeared to, I swear it, I'll find her.
00:48:04Let's see how they are.
00:48:06Right.
00:48:09I only hope and pray their minds haven't been destroyed.
00:48:14I don't think they have.
00:48:17Dr. Zarkov's reactions are perfectly normal.
00:48:20That's a relief.
00:48:21At least their minds can be brought back quickly.
00:48:24Commander Richard's reflexes are perfectly normal, too, thank heaven.
00:48:28In the meantime, maybe we can clear their names.
00:48:30I'm certain they were under the control of that madwoman when they destroyed the methane to oxygen converters on Neptune.
00:48:36Maybe our friend here can give us a clue.
00:48:53Zydarine!
00:48:55Zydarine!
00:48:56Zydarine?
00:48:56So that's who she is.
00:48:58The mad witch of Neptune.
00:49:00Where is she?
00:49:01What have you done to her?
00:49:02Hold it.
00:49:03One more move and you'll get another blast of stun gun.
00:49:06What have you done to Zydarine?
00:49:08When you're on the other end of a stun gun, you answer questions.
00:49:12You don't ask them.
00:49:14Now, was Zydarine responsible for the destruction of the methane to oxygen converter on Neptune?
00:49:21No one can resist the will of Zydarine.
00:49:26That's all I wanted to know.
00:49:30Okay, Dale, let's go.
00:49:31We'll take him back to GBI.
00:49:33We'll need him to testify.
00:49:34What about the machines?
00:49:35Shouldn't we destroy them?
00:49:36We'll leave them the way they are.
00:49:38We may need them as evidence.
00:49:39Let's go.
00:49:59We may need them as evidence.
00:50:02We may need them as evidence.
00:50:03We may need them as evidence.
00:50:03We may need them as evidence.
00:50:03We may need them as evidence.
00:50:03We may need them as evidence.
00:50:03We may need them as evidence.
00:50:04We may need them as evidence.
00:50:04We may need them as evidence.
00:50:05We may need them as evidence.
00:50:20This patroceal disc belongs to you, doesn't it?
00:50:23Yes, I've missed it.
00:50:25It came off when we fought on Neptune.
00:50:28What's it for?
00:50:29For nothing, nothing at all.
00:50:32It's the insignia of Zydarine which all of her followers wear.
00:50:35I see.
00:50:37Well, since I'm not a follower of hers, I'll give it back to you.
00:50:59What's our guest?
00:51:01The guards are locked in the back room.
00:51:03I just brought Prostar into the chart room for a little talk.
00:51:06Do you learn anything?
00:51:07Not yet, but I expect to.
00:51:09What's our latest position, Dale?
00:51:12Coming into the homestretch.
00:51:15We're leaving Mars orbit and passing Space Point Me-12.
00:51:27How are you feeling?
00:51:31I'll get us all something to eat.
00:51:37Flash! He's gone!
00:51:39Who's gone?
00:51:40Who's, Doc? His chains are empty.
00:51:42It's as though he has evaporated into thin air.
00:51:45That's exactly what he's done.
00:51:48What do you mean?
00:51:49Look, this is serious for Dr. Zarkoff and Commander Richard.
00:51:52Why?
00:51:53Why?
00:51:54Because he's the only witness who can clear their name.
00:51:57His testimony on how she used the electrode wand
00:52:00and the matter transmitter on them is important.
00:52:03Relax, Dale.
00:52:04Our testimony and their condition will accomplish the same thing.
00:52:07In the meantime, Prostar's little disappearing act gave me an important bit of information.
00:52:12What do you mean?
00:52:13You're not making sense.
00:52:15I found out how he disappeared.
00:52:17And that knowledge, when the time comes, is going to be very important.
00:52:20Well, I know it's some sort of matter transmission.
00:52:23But how he did it from here and without a machine is beyond me.
00:52:28He did it with a tractor-sealed disc.
00:52:30But he wasn't wearing a disc. We have his.
00:52:33We had it. I gave it back to him.
00:52:35You what?
00:52:36I gave it back to him. A relaxed day.
00:52:41Didn't you wonder why I didn't turn the matter transmitter machine off when we left Zydarine's laboratory?
00:52:46Well, you said you wanted things left as they were for evidence.
00:52:49What I really wanted to do was test a theory.
00:52:52That the tractor-sealed discs act as a remote control conductor for the matter transmitter machine.
00:52:59If that's true, then it means that probably every one of those guards in the back room have disappeared too.
00:53:05No, they haven't.
00:53:08Just because I let one chicken fly the coop to catch the fox is no reason I have to let
00:53:12the whole brood get away.
00:53:27Several weeks later, at GBI headquarters, Earth...
00:53:37Time for a meal break.
00:53:40How's the student doing?
00:53:42It's amazing how all the knowledge I had falls right back into place once I read a formula or look
00:53:46at the design.
00:53:47At the rate you and Commander Richards are going, you'll be ready to go back on duty.
00:53:58And here on Mimas, the first satellite moon of Saturn, are the radar negativizers powered by eight four-man GBI
00:54:06teams.
00:54:07Right, down to the last E3.
00:54:09And that takes care of the inner and the intermediate galaxy defenses.
00:54:13It's amazing how much knowledge and information you've absorbed in the last two weeks, Commander.
00:54:17Well, once I look at something, tell it to me.
00:54:20It's as though I always knew it.
00:54:22In another week or so, you'll be ready to take back your job and direct all GBI operations again.
00:54:42Thanks to you and Dale finding Dr. Zarkov and me, and at the trial, without your testimony as to how
00:54:48Zydarin got us into our power,
00:54:51well, we'd have been defenseless.
00:54:58Now, Zydarin.
00:55:10Now, forget it, Commander.
00:55:12Now that yours and Dr. Zarkov's names are cleared, all of us have only one job to do.
00:55:16To find Zydarin and destroy the electro memory file before she can...
00:55:22Gordon here.
00:55:24Captain Blander, chief of the Krillium fleet, calling in from spacepoint S-95.
00:55:28Oh, put him on.
00:55:30Krillium? Krillium, what is that?
00:55:32It's the rarest, most powerful radioactive one in the galaxy.
00:55:36Found only on the moons of Uranus.
00:55:38It's a power fuel.
00:55:40Each unit is 10,000 times more powerful and longer lasting than any other known power fuel.
00:55:46Amazing.
00:55:48Now, GBI fleet of special rocket ships goes in once a year and takes out the entire galaxy power supply
00:55:52for the year.
00:55:55Yeah, go ahead, Blander.
00:55:57We're in trouble.
00:56:01Some sort of ray has hit every one of our ships.
00:56:04It's come through the silly detective layers.
00:56:07We're starting to burn up.
00:56:08We can't take the heat.
00:56:10We've got to bring the ships down.
00:56:12How long can you stay up?
00:56:14Minutes.
00:56:15You've got to get armed help to them immediately.
00:56:18Someone is after that Krillium supply.
00:56:20You're right, there is.
00:56:21This is Zydarin's first move to gain complete control of the galaxy.
00:56:26What do we do?
00:56:28You will do as I as I dream command you.
00:56:30You will leave your ships and come to my castle, which you will see when you are on the ground.
00:56:36Who?
00:56:37Who's that?
00:56:38They call me the Witch of Neptune.
00:56:41Do not try to escape.
00:56:44The solar ray guns are aimed at you every second.
00:56:49I'll give you five minutes to leave your ships and reach my castle.
00:56:53Captain Gordon, we're awaiting your orders.
00:57:12While the Krillium fleet burns in the solar ray controlled by Zydarin, she awaits Flash's answer to her command that
00:57:19the fleet land on Saturn.
00:57:30We have no choice, Blander. Follow our orders. Good luck.
00:57:35And now, Flash Gordon, I have a separate set of orders for you.
00:57:41I'm listening.
00:57:42As you've noticed, I've made excellent use of the memory files.
00:57:47The solar ray machine was built to the specifications I took from Dr. Zarkoff's mind.
00:57:53It is unfortunate for you that GBI never built it.
00:58:06It is the most powerful weapon in the galaxy.
00:58:11If that Earth or any other planet, not a single living thing would remain after five seconds.
00:58:21What do you want, Zydarin?
00:58:23What are your orders?
00:58:25A very simple order.
00:58:27I want you and Dale Arden to come here immediately.
00:58:36Why? What do you want with Dale?
00:58:38I need her technical help for some of Dr. Zarkoff's formulas, which are beyond my training in astrophysics.
00:58:46No, Flash. Dale can't go. Tell Zydarin that I will.
00:58:53We'll come, Zydarin. Dale Arden and I.
00:58:58I'll be looking forward to meeting you again, Flash Gordon.
00:59:03Twice you have interfered with my plans, but never again.
00:59:08You'll never have the opportunity again, I promise you.
00:59:12I'm confident that you'll do your best to keep that promise.
00:59:17Anything else before we leave, Zydarin?
00:59:19Just this. If you are not here before 24 hours, or if you try to trick me, one planet after
00:59:29another will be destroyed by Dr. Zarkoff's solar ray.
00:59:33Is that clear?
00:59:37Very clear.
00:59:49A solar ray machine. A product of my brain.
00:59:55Flash and Dale are going to their deaths because of it.
00:59:57The entire galaxy will be enslaved by this maniac and all because I...
01:00:01No, Dr. Zarkoff. It's not your fault.
01:00:05How can you blame yourself?
01:00:07You conceived it as a weapon to help strengthen the galaxy defenses.
01:00:10Of course it is, Paul.
01:00:13You've succeeded in finding a formula to harness the sun's power.
01:00:17Where thousands of men have failed before you.
01:00:21Besides, Flash and I aren't through yet.
01:00:24Not by a long shot.
01:00:25We've got a lot of work to do before we take off.
01:00:49Lander, in Fleet Ship One.
01:00:51Calling Gordon at GBI.
01:00:56The lander in Fleet Ship One calling Gordon at TBI.
01:01:00Come in.
01:01:01You will leave your ships and come to my castle,
01:01:03which you will see when you are on the ground.
01:01:11Has all of the Crillium been unloaded from their spaceships?
01:01:15As you commanded, mighty Zydarine, queen of the galaxy.
01:01:20It is stored away in the lead vaults.
01:01:22Then why are they here wasting my time?
01:01:24I have work to do.
01:01:25He asked to speak with you.
01:01:27He is the leader of the fleet,
01:01:28so I thought perhaps he might have something important to tell you.
01:01:32It's about the Crillium.
01:01:33You must let me deliver to the galaxy power plants.
01:01:37Really?
01:01:38And why?
01:01:40Tell me why.
01:01:42You know as well as I do that the entire galaxy power supply depends upon it.
01:01:47Not only the electricity and the factories,
01:01:49but all the atmosphere converters on all colonized planets.
01:01:53Yes.
01:01:54The Crillium supply in most of the power plants is almost exhausted.
01:01:58I see.
01:02:00Interesting.
01:02:06If you don't deliver the Crillium quickly, factories will close down, electricity will stop,
01:02:15and the atmosphere converters will stop converting.
01:02:18Is that it?
01:02:20Exactly.
01:02:20If it's a living galaxy you want to rule, you'll let me get that Crillium through.
01:02:26You fool!
01:02:28Don't you see I waited until the Crillium supply was dangerously low before I made my move against the galaxy
01:02:36with the most powerful weapon ever conceived, the solar ray?
01:02:41But with the solar ray you can control everything.
01:02:44If it will, you can destroy any planet who resists you.
01:02:47No planet will have the power or the means to resist me as long as I hold the Crillium.
01:02:53Not until my agents control every government, direct every police force, will I free the Crillium supply.
01:03:04Put them in the dungeons.
01:03:16Have you given instructions to all our agents on all the planets?
01:03:20All is arranged, mighty Zydarine.
01:03:23They will take over just as soon as the galaxy council instructs the incumbent government that you are the supreme
01:03:29ruler.
01:03:29And the galaxy council, when does it meet?
01:03:31Within 48 hours, in order to give the members of the outer planets time to reach Earth.
01:03:37All goes well, very well.
01:03:40In 48 hours, I, the Witch of Neptune, will be proclaimed queen of the galaxy.
01:03:53Think, Prostar, what this means.
01:03:56Kings have ruled nations, conquered empires, and a ruled planet.
01:04:04But I, Zydarine, have made the greatest conquest of all.
01:04:08The greatest domain in history is mine.
01:04:11I rule a galaxy.
01:04:15I have one fear, mighty Zydarine.
01:04:17Nothing must go wrong now.
01:04:19Now that success is so near.
01:04:22Nothing will go wrong.
01:04:24Forgive me, but the sooner Flash Gordon is here in our power, the safer we will be.
01:04:29Gordon wouldn't dare to trick me.
01:04:32He knows full well that I would destroy every planet if he so much as tried.
01:04:38Bring him here on the matter transmitter.
01:04:40Let's not take chances.
01:04:42Only when he is shackled and locked in a dungeon can we be certain that...
01:04:46I do not share your fear, Prostar.
01:04:50You know, mental torture is a very effective weapon.
01:04:54It is a long journey from Earth to Saturn.
01:05:05Captain Gordon will have ample time to wonder what plans I have in store for him.
01:05:11If anything should happen.
01:05:13Enough, Prostar.
01:05:15I'll do this my way.
01:05:17I want to give him plenty of time to think about my promise before I keep it.
01:05:35There it is.
01:05:36Saturn.
01:05:38I'm so frightened.
01:05:39I've never been so frightened in my life.
01:05:41Turn on the landing signal, will you, Dale?
01:05:47Flash Gordon and Sky Flash 2 calling Zydarine.
01:05:49Flash Gordon and Sky Flash 2 calling Zydarine.
01:05:53This is Queen Zydarine.
01:05:55We'll be coming in for a landing in a few minutes.
01:05:59I trust Dale Arden is with you.
01:06:04This is Dale Arden.
01:06:06You will be met by armed guards and brought directly to me.
01:06:10I'm happy to see you kept your promise, Gordon.
01:06:14I assure you I am ready to keep mine.
01:06:48The passengers from the spaceship are outside.
01:06:50What are your orders, Mikey Zydarine?
01:06:53Bring them in.
01:07:05You know, they tricked me.
01:07:09Every living human in the galaxy will pay for this.
01:07:12Go.
01:07:13Turn on the solar ray machine to full power.
01:07:29There it is.
01:07:30Zydarine's castle.
01:07:32The decoys for Flash and Dale should be in there with her by now.
01:07:36Yes, it's exactly 12 minutes since they left us on the Sky Flash.
01:07:40The coast seems clear.
01:07:45Hmm.
01:07:47I'll give Flash and Dale the signal.
01:07:54Okay, Flash.
01:08:18They didn't take me seriously.
01:08:20They thought I didn't mean it.
01:08:22I'll show them.
01:08:23I'm Zydarine.
01:08:25I'm the Queen.
01:08:27Queen of the galaxy.
01:08:29You're no Queen, Zydarine.
01:08:31You're still the man-witch of Neptune.
01:08:36From now on, you'll be put away in a place where you'll never be able to threaten the peace and
01:08:41security of the galaxy again.
01:08:43And that's my promise to you.
01:08:48Tiny little gadgets, aren't they?
01:08:50One moment we're in the sky flash and the next minute we're here.
01:08:54Now, Jeff.
01:08:56Get down to the dungeon and release Bland and his crew, will ya?
01:09:03Come on, let's get them out of here and into the spaceship.
01:09:05Aren't we forgetting something, Commander?
01:09:07What?
01:09:10What is it?
01:09:11It's an electronic memory file.
01:09:14You mean that's...
01:09:15That little box has all the GBI information in it that Zydarine took from us?
01:09:21Little box?
01:09:22After all, Commander, how big do you think your head is?
01:09:48Looks like the
01:09:55The End
