Youth Players Radio Hour: SIDE #1 Abbott/Costello Costello: Well, I never met the guys, so you’ll have to tell me their names, and then I’ll know who’s playing on the team. Abbott: Oh, I’ll tell you their names, but you know strange as it may seem, they give these ball players now a days, very peculiar names. Costello: You mean funny names?

Flash Gordon and prince Thun, with Dale between them, dash into the secret passage beneath the idol. The way becomes steeper. They slip- and fall. Down! Down! A hundred feet or more into a whirling underground river. They're swept along down a raging current and over a falls into a lake. With the powerful strokes of a champion swimmer, Flash sets out for the shore, towing Dale by the hair. They reach the shore, and as Flash reaches down to drag Dale to safety, she screams and disappears beneath the calm surface of the lake, clutched in two powerful green, scaly arms. With no thought of his own safety, Flash Gordon dives to Dale's rescue and finds an adventure stranger than any which has gone before.
