About The Phantom Empire (1935):

The Phantom Empire is a unique science-fiction Western serial starring Gene Autry as a singing cowboy who operates a radio station at Radio Ranch. Hidden beneath the ranch is Murania, a mysterious underground kingdom equipped with advanced technology, robots, and futuristic weapons. When a greedy scientist attempts to take over the ranch for its valuable radium deposits, Gene and his young companions find themselves caught in an extraordinary adventure. They must confront dangerous traps, powerful enemies, and the mysteries of Murania to protect the ranch. What makes this classic particularly fascinating is its unusual blend of cowboy adventures, musical performances, robots, and futuristic science fiction, created nearly a century ago.

00:00:02Stay with him, Red! Stay with him, Cowboy!
00:00:06Look out!
00:00:37What is it?
00:00:38It's Orte's man making another raid!
00:00:48You know what we're after, throw it out and be quick about it!
00:00:58All right, hand them out!
00:01:06That's not all, there's one more!
00:01:09That's mine!
00:01:18Yes, folks, it's Gene Autry making another raid on your time with his Radio Riders, broadcasting from Radio Ranch!
00:01:26We're about to bust right into your homes with some real ranch music and singing!
00:01:33Nevertheless, we're going to give you some real ranch music and singing!
00:01:40A long, long time ago, as all you folks should know, Uncle Noah built himself an arch!
00:01:47For forty days at night, the rain was sure a fright, and the animals cured it tore his arch apart!
00:01:54The duck went quack, the cow went through, and the cock-a-doodle-doo!
00:01:58The old tom-catcher raised it off all round!
00:02:01The little pink squeal, the billy-goo's back!
00:02:04Biggest rain we've had!
00:02:05Uncle Noah's Ark's a madhouse now!
00:02:08The hog is in Cadillac, out of the air!
00:02:12Even the long-eared jacket was there!
00:02:16Quack!
00:02:16The old tom-catcher-doo!
00:02:17Quack!
00:02:18Whoop!
00:02:18Cock-a-doodle-doo!
00:02:19All were there in Uncle Noah's Ark!
00:02:22At last the sun did shine, through the winter bright and fine,
00:02:26And Uncle Noah thought it was time to land!
00:02:29He couldn't open the door, got his hammer on the shore,
00:02:32And the animals cured and growled to beat the band!
00:02:36The duck went quack!
00:02:37The cow went whoop!
00:02:38The cock-a-doodle-doo!
00:02:39The old tom-catcher raised it off all round!
00:02:42Meow!
00:02:43The little pink squeal, the billy-goo's back!
00:02:45Think it's raining we've had!
00:02:46Uncle Noah's Ark's a madhouse now!
00:02:49The hog is in Cadillac, out of the air!
00:02:52Even the long-eared jacket was there!
00:02:56Quack!
00:02:57The old tom-catcher!
00:02:58Whoop!
00:02:59All were there in Uncle Noah's Ark!
00:03:08We're now turning the microphone over to Frankie and Betsy Baxter,
00:03:11President and Vice President of the National Thunderwriters Club.
00:03:14You're on the air, kids. It's all yours.
00:03:17First, I want to ask all of you to...
00:03:20First, I want to...
00:03:22Pardon the static, folks.
00:03:24First, I want to ask all of you to join our National Thunderwriters Club
00:03:28so you can come out here to our vacation camp
00:03:30and see a radio broadcast put on like it should be.
00:03:33Riding, roping, real horses, real guns, real cowboys.
00:03:38All you boys...
00:03:39And the girls, too!
00:03:40We don't want any girls!
00:03:41We do, too!
00:03:43Now, in reply to your letters, boys, and girls,
00:03:46as to how we came to select the name Thunderwriters for our club.
00:03:50Well...
00:03:51One day, Frankie and I were having a horse race on the desert.
00:03:57We were riding like the wind.
00:03:59Just having a lot of fun.
00:04:02When all of a sudden,
00:04:04we heard something that sounded like a roll of thunder.
00:04:08Thunder!
00:04:08It's going to rain!
00:04:10Rain nothing!
00:04:12Well, there isn't a cloud in the sky.
00:04:14That's some Thunder Valley.
00:04:16I've heard it once before.
00:04:18The Thunderwriters!
00:04:41The Thunderwriters!
00:04:42Whaaat!
00:04:44Google the snow!
00:04:46Theseciles!
00:04:47Oh!
00:04:55There were only nine in the sky.
00:04:56Don't you see myself!
00:04:56Do you see the wind?
00:04:56The weather!
00:04:57The weather!
00:04:57It's the wind!
00:04:57There's a wind!
00:04:58You're water!
00:04:59You're water!
00:05:02You're water!
00:05:05You're water!
00:05:45And that's how we came to call our club the Thunder Riders.
00:05:48The legend is the reality of Betsy and me.
00:05:51And if we ever see those riders again, we'll sure tell you more about it.
00:05:56Thank you, Frankie and Betsy.
00:05:59And remember all you kids that can't come out to the ranch.
00:06:02You can form a Thunder Riders club in your own town and ride with us every afternoon.
00:06:06Just send in your name and we'll send you a pattern so that your mother can make you a costume.
00:06:11Everybody ready?
00:06:12Here they come!
00:06:21Will the Thunder Riders get there and car him?
00:06:27And that, folks, you will learn when you tune in tomorrow.
00:06:29Good afternoon.
00:06:31Radio Ranch now signing off.
00:06:35Say, is our ranch becoming popular?
00:06:38And all on account of your broadcast.
00:06:40Why, our guests are coming on trains and horses and an automobile.
00:06:45And now, they're arriving by airplane.
00:06:51You said that ranch is deserted.
00:06:53It's deserted, all right.
00:06:56What about the fortune of radium you promised us?
00:06:58You'll get your radium.
00:07:00Gentlemen, I am firmly convinced that this is the site of the buried city of New.
00:07:05And with proper excavation, we'll find more than radium.
00:07:09We'll find secrets that have been lost to the world for thousands of years.
00:07:31Welcome to Radio Ranch, gentlemen.
00:07:34Quite a surprise to see a plane around here.
00:07:37Beechon is my name.
00:07:38Professor Beechon.
00:07:39I'm Gene Autry.
00:07:40Do you think that we might secure accommodations?
00:07:42Sure.
00:07:43We can take care of you.
00:07:45This way, gentlemen, please.
00:07:50In a vine-covered shack in the mountains, bravely fighting the battle of mine,
00:08:01is the dear one who's where the laughs are old, is that silver-haired daddy of mine.
00:08:10If I could recall all the heart of mine, dear old daddy, I called you to bear, if I could
00:08:24erase those lines from your face,
00:08:27And bring back the gold in your heart, if God would not grant me the power, just to turn back
00:08:39the pages of time,
00:08:43I'd give all I own, I'd give all I own, I'd give all I own.
00:09:14I hope nobody saw you come up here.
00:09:16I don't want my secret laboratory discovered.
00:09:19I sneaked away.
00:09:21So you're the one that took that caliber cathociclometer tube that the radio engineer was looking for.
00:09:28Shh.
00:09:29This is scientifically important to me.
00:09:32Look here, sis.
00:09:34This shows you exactly how to make a direction finder, and I just made one.
00:09:38What's a direction finder?
00:09:40Well, when you hear something on the radio, this will tell you exactly what direction it's coming from.
00:09:46Look, I'll show you.
00:09:47That is, I'll show you if I made this thing right.
00:09:58See, it's pointing two degrees left of noise.
00:10:03That means the music is coming from San Francisco.
00:10:06There's those funny signals again.
00:10:08Frankie, look!
00:10:09The direction finder is standing on his head.
00:10:18The direction finder is standing on his head.
00:10:24The direction finder is standing on his head.
00:10:29The direction finder is standing on his head.
00:10:33The direction finder is standing on his head.
00:10:33The direction finder is standing on his head.
00:10:34The direction finder is standing on his head.
00:10:35The direction finder is standing on his head.
00:10:38The direction finder is standing on his head.
00:10:41A silver hair daddy of mine
00:10:50All right, Oscar, it's your time.
00:10:52They seem to stand for anything.
00:10:53Okay.
00:10:55You know those funny signals I've been getting for the last two weeks?
00:10:58Yeah.
00:10:59Well, I got them again tonight.
00:11:00And my direction finder says they're coming from straight down.
00:11:04Hey, do you suppose there's anything to any of those books that Frankie's been reading
00:11:08about a world underground with people and cities and everything?
00:11:13Why, of course there's something to them.
00:11:15Let's go see those scientists that came today.
00:11:18Maybe they can tell us something about it.
00:11:20Maybe they can.
00:11:25But the signals were coming from the center of the Earth.
00:11:27And I wanted you to explain it to me, Professor.
00:11:30I see that you have a perfect understanding of radio beams.
00:11:33You probably encountered some unusual internal interference.
00:11:37Uh, undoubtedly magnetic, static.
00:11:40Yes, but, but the signal sounded like human signals.
00:11:43Static.
00:11:44Just static.
00:11:45However, I'll give the medicine thought and, uh, look into it further a little later.
00:11:52Did you ever see anything like this?
00:11:55Peculiar little fellow, isn't it?
00:11:58Ah.
00:11:59An interesting example of Antidivian Americana.
00:12:04Where did you get it?
00:12:05Found it at the head of Thunder Valley.
00:12:08Could you lead my colleagues to the spot?
00:12:11Gladly.
00:12:12We'll appreciate it very much.
00:12:13We'll have to get an early start.
00:12:15I have a broadcast at 2 o'clock, and if we'll miss it, we'll lose our contract.
00:12:19We'll say 8 o'clock.
00:12:21Good.
00:12:22Good night.
00:12:24Good night.
00:12:25Thanks, Professor.
00:12:25Good night.
00:12:40You heard everything?
00:12:41Very good morning.
00:12:43After his radio program and his singing make this ranch popular.
00:12:47Without him, there would be nothing here to interest anyone.
00:12:52Tomorrow morning, when he leads Cooper and Saunders to the spot where he found that idol,
00:12:56Your job is to see that he doesn't come back.
00:13:53What's that?
00:13:54It must be a Meridian.
00:13:56Alive, impossible.
00:13:58I tell you, it is.
00:13:59It must be a Meridian.
00:14:19It must be a Meridian.
00:14:42It must be a Meridian.
00:15:03One, two, three, four, five, six.
00:15:36It must be a Meridian.
00:15:44You'll gain some strength when we get down to the 20,000 foot level.
00:15:47It must be a Meridian.
00:15:49It must be a Meridian.
00:16:01The End
00:16:24Her Imperial Majesty, the Queen
00:16:38Did I receive your report correctly?
00:16:41Yes, Your Majesty
00:16:48Her Majesty is waiting
00:16:50I know
00:17:04Clear the way, stand fast for the Queen's Guard
00:17:22We welcome your return
00:17:24Your Imperial Majesty, I have to report
00:17:26Silence!
00:17:27You are not here to report
00:17:28I have seen everything
00:17:30You are here to be commended
00:17:32For your loyalty and skill
00:17:33In having safely returned
00:17:35With your wounded comrade
00:17:36Without once having been seen
00:17:38By a surface man
00:17:39I do so commend you
00:17:42Conduct him to the radio reviving chamber
00:17:51Here's the proof
00:17:54And there's the bullet hole
00:17:57You perforated his oxygen tank
00:17:59Evidently they can't function
00:18:00On the air we breathe
00:18:09Wait, the guard in the light
00:18:11Yes, Your Majesty
00:18:26Sound, I want to hear them
00:18:33Our next move
00:18:34Is to get rid of Audrey Pantner
00:18:36Tom Baxter
00:18:36With those two out of the way
00:18:38Radio Ranch will soon be deserted
00:18:40And we'll have our discovery to ourselves
00:18:42And a fortune in radium
00:18:44Now wouldn't it be a good idea
00:18:45If we explored a little today?
00:18:47Plenty of time, Saunders
00:18:48The principal thing now
00:18:49Is to protect our secret from spies
00:18:51Enough
00:19:05Our very civilization is at stake
00:19:08The lives and future of all my subjects
00:19:10Are in jeopardy
00:19:11For my part
00:19:12I should send to the Garden of Life
00:19:14And there capture them
00:19:16When they return
00:19:16No
00:19:17The entrance to the Garden of Life
00:19:19Must be destroyed
00:19:20They must never be able
00:19:22To find it again
00:19:35Yes, Your General Majesty
00:19:36Proceed at once
00:19:37To the Garden of Life
00:19:39And destroy the entrance
00:19:40So that no surface man
00:19:41May ever find it again
00:19:43Yes, Your Majesty
00:19:45Alarm!
00:20:09You are now a full-fledged member
00:20:11Be seated
00:20:14We will now continue
00:20:15With our regular business
00:20:17Has anyone any suggestions
00:20:18For the motto of our club?
00:20:19All for one and one for all
00:20:21To the rescuers, mine
00:20:22Now where's school?
00:20:23Do a good turn, Dave
00:20:24Thank you, dear
00:20:25Your suggestion is a good one
00:20:26But that's the Boy Scouts motto
00:20:28And we must have one of our own
00:20:33Listen
00:20:34There's that thunder sound
00:20:37That's the same sound
00:20:38That we heard the day
00:20:39We saw a thunder rider
00:20:40Maybe they're riding again
00:20:42Meeting adjourned
00:20:47Isn't that Dean's horse?
00:20:49Something must have happened to him
00:20:51Maybe the real thunder rider
00:20:52Got him
00:20:53To the rescue
00:20:54That's our motto
00:20:55To the rescue
00:20:57To the rescue!
00:21:17We'll scatter here
00:21:19All you kids break up
00:21:20In a party to two
00:21:22We'll search this whole country
00:21:24Now don't all go the same way
00:21:25Bet you and I will ride up
00:21:27For Thunder Valley
00:21:28Come on
00:21:30Come on
00:21:31Come on
00:21:31Come on
00:21:36Look
00:21:37A small signal
00:21:38It must be Gene
00:21:52There's the key
00:21:53To our entire situation
00:21:57Come on
00:21:58Come on
00:21:58Come on
00:21:58Come on
00:22:13Get the canteen
00:22:14Quick
00:22:20Thanks
00:22:21You feel better now
00:22:22Sure
00:22:23I'm alright
00:22:23Boy you sure had a narrow escape
00:22:25Yeah
00:22:26Say we got a boat test
00:22:28At two o'clock
00:22:28If we miss it we'll lose our contract
00:22:30And that means we'll lose Radio Ranch
00:22:32We'll have to ride like the dickens
00:22:33You and Bessie ride double
00:22:42Explain yourself Argo
00:22:43If we can capture Gene Autry
00:22:45If we can capture Gene Autry
00:22:46Radio Ranch would soon become deserted
00:22:48And the entrance to our underground kingdom
00:22:51Would forever remain undiscovered
00:22:57Get the captain of the Thunder Riders
00:22:58On the wireless telephone
00:23:10Captain of the Thunder Guards reporting
00:23:12Gene Autry approaches Thunder Valley
00:23:15Captured him
00:23:16Yes
00:23:16Your Imperial Majesty
00:23:18Thunder Guards
00:23:19Forward
00:23:25Quick

00:24:41To the rescue
00:24:48Boy it's a good thing you caught that limb
00:24:51I'll say it is
00:24:55Look
00:24:55Our fender riding club
00:24:57Come on we'll save you
00:24:59Hurry up
00:24:59Throw it Dale
00:25:12You first Frankie
00:25:15Frankie can make it
00:25:16Sure
00:25:30Don't be nervous
00:25:31Don't be nervous
00:25:31Take your time
00:25:33Gene fails to get here
00:25:35We're sunk
00:25:35He said he'd be back by one o'clock
00:25:37And here it is almost two
00:25:42Gee I was scared
00:25:44I was afraid the rope would break
00:25:45What happened Frankie?
00:25:46Well the real part
00:25:47We'll tell you all about it later
00:25:48We've just got time to get back to the ranch for the broadcast
00:25:50If we'll miss it we'll lose the contract
00:25:52And radio rest
00:26:02Well it's time to be on the air
00:26:03Well it's time to be on the air
00:26:04What do we do?
00:26:13It's Gene!
00:26:14I thought you said you took care of Autry
00:26:18Sharp must have missed
00:26:20Radio Ranch is on the air
00:26:22This is Gene Autry offering another broadcast
00:26:24Let's go!

00:27:14Now there's nothing I tell you
00:27:16That these fellows cannot do
00:27:18If I want the moon or a star or two
00:27:20I call on Oscars
00:27:21That's my name
00:27:22I call on Tees
00:27:23I've been there
00:27:24Now my girl has got a sister
00:27:27That's Virginia wine too, sister
00:27:29I'll send Oscar
00:27:30Go on, send him
00:27:31Well, I'll send you
00:27:32Go on, send Oscar
00:27:33They say that she's not so pretty
00:27:35She craves marriage
00:27:36That's a pity
00:27:37I'll send you
00:27:38Go on, send him
00:27:39I'll send Oscar
00:27:40Let him go
00:27:41She's got a million bucks in salt
00:27:44Another million in the vault
00:27:46If she says single
00:27:47It ain't my fault
00:27:48Let me go
00:27:48I'll go, Gene
00:27:50I'll go myself
00:27:51We all go
00:27:56On with the show, folks
00:27:58Yesterday when you tuned out our radio show
00:28:00The Thunder Riders were riding to the rescue
00:28:03Well, here's what happened after that
00:28:17Cut it out
00:28:22The State Coast has been attacked
00:28:24The Bands are getting saved
00:28:27Why don't the Thunder Riders come to the left?
00:28:58Go
00:28:58Get her!
00:28:59Get her!
00:29:27The Thunder Riders are coming.
00:29:28Run for your lives.
00:29:34Gee, you were swell, Daddy.
00:29:36You took it as real as life.
00:29:38Turn over, Daddy.
00:29:39I'm supposed to bandage you.
00:29:45She's dead.
00:29:47Somebody shot him.
00:30:16All blanks.
00:30:17I don't see how any of us could have done it.
00:30:32Why, I can't understand.
00:30:34It's all very simple.
00:30:36Your rifle was loaded.
00:30:38Are you insinuating that I shot my partner?
00:30:41No, of course not.
00:30:43But you'll have to admit that this is a case for the sheriff.
00:31:00Oh, Gene, we know you didn't kill him, Dad.
00:31:04Thanks.
00:31:05But everybody says you did.
00:31:06And the sheriff's coming to take you to town.
00:31:09That's what worries me.
00:31:11If they lock me up, I'll never be able to discover the real murder.
00:31:16Oscar's guarding the window.
00:31:18His gun's loaded with blanks.
00:31:20He wouldn't shoot you anyway.
00:31:22He promised.
00:31:43Help!
00:31:44What is it?
00:31:45He ought to attack me from behind in the safe.
00:31:48There he goes!
00:31:49He's the man who killed Baxter.
00:31:51Get some horses and take after him!
00:32:01Gene Nautry!
00:32:02Yes, Your Majesty.
00:32:14Lieutenant, Gene Nautry is now at a shack in Thunder Canyon.
00:32:17Lead your riders there and capture him.
00:32:20Remember, if you fail, you peril Murania, and your life becomes forfeit.
00:32:25Do you understand?
00:32:26Yes, Your Majesty.
00:32:28Just a minute, Lieutenant, and you'll see the exact location of the shack.
00:32:33Transfer the view of the shack to the Thunder Guard's screen.
00:32:38Very good, Your Majesty.
00:32:40Thunder Guards!
00:32:41Alert!
00:32:47There he is!
00:32:58Oh, man!
00:33:09I won't let you know.
00:33:38You're coming in.
00:33:41Get in there and hide.
00:33:58More servicemen approach.
00:34:01We cannot allow anyone to deal with our mission.
00:34:04After them.
00:34:21We cannot allow anyone to deal with our mission.
00:34:26We cannot allow anyone to deal with our mission.
00:34:33We cannot allow anyone to do it.
00:35:02We cannot allow anyone to do it.
00:35:21Quick.
00:35:21Help us change clothes with this fella.
00:35:23It's the only way to save you is from the others.
00:35:25They're coming back.
00:35:27What if they find you out?
00:35:28They won't.
00:35:29I'll lead them away and come back after you later.
00:35:44Don't let him get away
00:36:01Where is Gene Autry?
00:36:03He escaped
00:36:25What if Gene couldn't get away?
00:36:28Then he'll have to go to the underground kingdom with him
00:36:47I do not blame you, Lieutenant Ball, for trying to escape the fate that awaits you
00:36:53That's Vance!
00:36:54Thank you
00:37:03The Queen desires your presence at once, sir
00:37:19Won't you take off your helmet and get a breath of real air?
00:37:26I understand
00:37:27A man in disgrace does not care to show his face
00:37:42And I will have to go to the underground kingdom with him
00:37:45No, I am not a dragon
00:38:00I am not a dragon
00:38:00We all take off my head
00:38:07The prisoner of the realm, under guard.
00:38:14Is it because you have only one life to lose you insult me in my throne room?
00:38:19You dare to wear your oxygen helmet in my presence?
00:38:22Yes, but I...
00:38:23Off with his helmet!
00:38:25Your Majesty, Lieutenant Paul is not himself.
00:38:27I beg...
00:38:30Gene Autry!
00:38:32A surface man in uranium!
00:38:37Welcome!
00:38:39How do you like our world?
00:38:43Well, I think the dampness and dead air of your land is more suited to rats than moles.
00:38:49You are indeed a brave man.
00:38:52Now let us see whether you are also a wise one.
00:39:01Eddie!
00:39:06Come with me!
00:39:08Come with me!
00:39:24The death chamber.
00:39:26You are the first surface man to invade our empire.
00:39:29And your knowledge of uranium must die with you.
00:39:32Take him away.
00:39:42My dear Argo, you may personally build up the voltage.
00:39:46You honor me.
00:39:57The prisoner is in the death chamber.
00:39:59All is prepared.
00:40:01Build up 200,000 volts for the chamber of death.
00:40:23Execution.
00:40:25Execute!
00:40:27Execute!
00:40:30Argo, you may now start off his charred body on its...
00:40:34trip to the cavern of the dune how much longer are we to wait for the word that will start
00:40:47the
00:40:47revolution do not be impatient the samaragua has saved our lives for a purpose and we must wait
00:40:52where are the hand weapons you promised us i have perfected this z-ray lithium gun
00:40:59it is designed to blind anyone it has turned on
00:41:04me
00:41:10who's that
00:41:28why it's gene autry we must kill him
00:41:30Who wants?
00:41:31Wait a minute.
00:41:31Wait.
00:41:32Argo has saved this serviceman's life as he has saved ours.
00:41:36But for a different purpose.
00:41:38Why should the Lord High Chancellor want to save him?
00:41:40For a vivisection.
00:41:42So that we may take him to our laboratories.
00:41:48Stand back.
00:41:50Get in that court.
00:42:08Mind, mind, mind.
00:42:13Unload it.
00:42:15Unload it.
00:42:16Another diamond.
00:42:18Another diamond.
00:42:19Another diamond.
00:42:43Well gentlemen, what's this?
00:42:47Gene Autry has escaped. If the Queen learns I saved him from the death chamber, all of it will burn
00:42:52for your callousness.
00:42:57Autry has escaped. You must find him at once and bring him to our rebel headquarters.
00:43:05We've got to find Gene so he can get back to Radio Ranch in time to make his next broadcast.
00:43:09That must be the entrance to Murania.
00:43:13Come on.
00:43:21See, there's a tunnel. But how are we going to get down to it?
00:43:25There's a rope ladder.
00:43:51We're certainly on the track of a large deposit of radium.
00:43:55In that case, we'd better fly back to Radio Ranch and get some dynamite to start blasting.
00:43:59Right.
00:44:06After we locate a way to enter Murania, we'll have access to enough radium to fill a bushel band.
00:44:21They're taking the ladder away.
00:44:23We're trapped.
00:44:24We're trapped.
00:44:25We're trapped.
00:44:36We're trapped.
00:44:39We're trapped.
00:44:51We have trapped.
00:44:54We gottaассude.
00:44:59We're trapped.
00:45:04The End
00:45:29The End
00:45:36Proceed immediately to your headquarters
00:45:38And capture the serviceman

00:55:00oh
00:55:01oh
00:55:13What happened?
00:55:14It was Audrey and those two kids.
00:55:16And now he had gone and the Marines
00:55:17had taken Frankie and Betsy away.
00:55:19We'd better make sure about it, Audrey.
00:55:27Right after Gene signed off,
00:55:29it sounded as if the plane was in trouble.
00:55:35We didn't see any sign of Gene
00:55:36and now Frankie and Betsy have disappeared.
00:55:38We just heard from them by wireless.
00:55:40They were in a plane.
00:55:40It might have crashed.
00:55:41Did they give their location?
00:55:42No, but they were heading toward the ranch.
00:55:44Well, they have to find them.
00:55:45To the rescue!
00:55:55He's still alive.
00:55:56He's wearing a Meridian outfit.
00:55:58He must have been in the Underground Kingdom.
00:56:00Do you realize what that means?
00:56:02If we can revive them,
00:56:04he can tell us how to get into Meridian.
00:56:06We'll take him to our excavation.
00:56:29Deliver your prisoner to her majesty on the 33rd level.
00:56:33And report back here immediately.
00:56:35Don't be scared.
00:56:37I won't let them hurt you.
00:56:38Uh, I'm not scared.
00:56:47Aren't those Frankie and Betsy's horses?
00:56:49Something must have happened to us.
00:56:52You stay here and we'll go and look around.
00:57:03Sure, it's their horses.
00:57:05Where did this one come from?
00:57:07Be quiet.
00:57:17I'll bet them scientists are holding Frankie and Betsy prisoners down there.
00:57:22If they are, we're going to get them.
00:57:31I'd like to see Audrey's face when he learns that Frankie and Betsy were captured by the Meridian.
00:57:35We'll tell him all about it when he wakes up.
00:57:37If he does.
00:57:54Who's in there?
00:58:04Who's in there?
00:58:06Look out, it's Jeans!
00:58:09Hurry, we've got what to do.
00:58:12But after a week, I told us to see where we were.
00:58:15Well, they might need our help.
00:58:16Look at these Jeans.
00:58:18But where's Frankie and Betsy?
00:58:19Did you find them?
00:58:20They're prisoners down in Meridian.
00:58:22We've got to save them.
00:58:25To the rescue!
00:58:27To the rescue!
00:58:27To the rescue!
00:58:28To the rescue!
00:58:29To the rescue!
00:58:44To the rescue!
00:58:45To the rescue!
00:58:46To the rescue!
00:58:48To the rescue!
00:58:50To the rescue!
00:58:51To the rescue!
00:58:52To the rescue!
00:59:03They're headed for the lower level.
00:59:05We'll cut off their escape at the elevator.
00:59:38We'll cut off the elevator.
00:59:57Why, it's got wheels like a clock.
01:00:05Well, they're not alive at all.
01:00:16You have long been a menace to me, Rabia.
01:00:19I once sentenced you to the death chamber, but you escaped.
01:00:24Who ever helped you escape is a traitor to Murania.
01:00:29Tell me his name.
01:00:30I'll tell you nothing.
01:00:32Not even to save your life?
01:00:34Not even to save my life, unless I can also save Frankie and Betsy.
01:00:39Let me prove that your friends are alive and well.
01:00:49Bring Frankie and Betsy to me at once.
01:00:57Bring the prisoner to the control room.
01:01:18If Autry tells the Queen I allowed him to escape, I'll be arrested.
01:01:24Trouble may start sooner than we expect.
01:01:26You mean the revolution?
01:01:27Precisely.
01:01:30Stay here and report to me any developments.
01:01:38She operates every electrical and mechanical operation of Murania.
01:01:45What has happened?
01:01:51Don't get excited, lady.
01:01:52We're just taking charge of Murania.
01:01:54I've got this one, too.
01:01:56Lock that door, Oscar, and then we're all teens.
01:01:59Who are you?
01:02:00With Oscar and Pete to the rescue.
01:02:01How about getting Frankie and Betsy and going back to the ranch?
01:02:04We're getting tired of this crazy place.
01:02:06Stop it.
01:02:07I command you.
01:02:08Ah!
01:02:08Pipe down, you!
01:02:10Okay, Frankie and Betsy on the television screen.
01:02:14Now I will be able to prove to you that your young friends are alive and well.
01:02:26Take them at once to our headquarters.
01:02:29And don't let them escape under pain of death.
01:02:32Then what shall we do with them?
01:02:33Leave that to me.
01:02:35That doesn't look much like they're going to be brought up here.
01:02:38Argo is deliberately disobeying my command.
01:02:41He'll suffer for this.
01:02:42He's the man that released me from the death chamber
01:02:45so that the revolutionists could study my breathing structure.
01:02:48The revolutionists?
01:02:51Broadcast a proclamation.
01:02:52Oh, no, you don't.
01:02:53But I must.
01:02:54It's the only way to quell the revolution.
01:02:56And tell you, soldiers, that we have you present in your control room?
01:02:59Don't you realize it's the only way to save Frankie and Betsy?
01:03:02How do I know I can trust you?
01:03:05My word is good.
01:03:07Right.
01:03:08We're going to rescue Frankie and Betsy.
01:03:11Broadcast and along.
01:03:17Death to Argo by order of the crown.
01:03:20Death to Argo by order of the crown.
01:03:23The hour has struck.
01:03:25Report to your station.
01:03:27We are dethroning the queen.
01:03:28And by night, a new dynasty will have control of the palace.
01:03:33The hour has come.
01:03:41This is rabble headquarters.
01:03:42You fellas stay out here and keep watch.
01:03:45Gene!
01:03:47Are you all right?
01:03:48I've been worried about you.
01:03:49Just to the queen!
01:03:50We march on the palace at once!
01:03:53To the palace!
01:03:54On to the palace!
01:03:55Death like the same!
01:03:57Break the door down!
01:04:00Hand back from that door!
01:04:02What are you going to do?
01:04:04Melt it down with the disintegrator ray.
01:04:13Turn it on full power!
01:04:14I don't dare rest at you.
01:04:16That would lose control.
01:04:22Freeze the machine!
01:04:23We move through slowly!
01:04:25Unless we get off the return of the queen,
01:04:27we can't allow the little loot!
01:04:28Let's get the disintegrator!
01:04:29Ah!
01:04:31Get off!
01:04:31Get it out of the tank!
01:04:32We'll get out of control here!
01:04:34Get off!
01:04:35Get off!
01:04:36Get off!
01:04:37Get it out!

01:04:56Oh!
01:05:17Seems to be deserted.
01:05:20If the Queen still has control of the palace, we'll be able to get out of here.
01:05:36Hey!
01:05:36Go to the park!
01:05:50Wait!
