Oh, my queen, said the royal sorcerer to Hatshepsut.

With this amulet, you and your descendants are endowed by the goddess

Isis. With the powers of the animals and the element, you will soar as the falcon

soars, run with the speed of gazelles, and command the elements of sky and

earth. Three thousand years later, a young science teacher dug up this lost

treasure and found she was heir to...

The secrets of ISIS.

And so, unknown to even her closest friends, Rick Mason and Cindy Lee, she

became a dual person. Andrea Thomas, teacher.

Almighty ISIS.

And ISIS, dedicated foe of evil, defender of the weak, champion of truth

and justice.

Thomas, Mr. Mason. Hi, Cindy.

Hi. Hi, Fred. Tell me, how's our favorite radio ham?

Not ham, Mr. Mason. We're amateur radio operators.

Oh.

My apologies.

Apologies accepted.

Dr. Barnes?

Gentlemen?

This is a demonstration of amateur radio.

It's a hobby enjoyed by people of all ages.

And anybody is free to operate on the air?

Well, not quite, sir.

First one has to get a license.

And to do that, you have to study.

A lot.

And then you have to pass a pretty stiff exam, but it's worth it.

I see.

Well, how about the demonstration?

Doctor?

If you will listen through this, you should receive me loud and clear.

In times of emergency, those hands become mighty important.

Not hands, Dr. Barnes.

Radio amateur.

This is W6TZY, testing portable 6.

W6TZY, testing on 2 meters, portable 6.

This is W6TZY, portable 6.

W6TZY, portable 6.

Before I announce the winners, I would like to thank the students and faculty

at Larkspur for their hospitality.

And now for the results.

First prize is awarded to Dorothy Beater.

I didn't win.

I lost.

Thank you, everyone.

Good afternoon.

For a runner-up, he's taking it pretty hard. Don't worry.

He just missed my car.

He's headed for trouble. Listen, I'll take your car. My car is around the

back. You get the others. I'll follow him. All right. Take care of my car.

Three dots, three dashes.

Somebody's sending an SOS.

Use your strength to push this car.

I am grateful to you, Isis. I was driving too fast. Way too fast.

Not thinking about what I was doing.

What were you thinking of?

About being a loser?

Yeah. Not winning doesn't mean you're a loser.

In my book, it does.

I'm afraid I broke a few parts in that slide.

Yeah.

I'll make my way up the hill and start walking back to town.

Thanks.

Thanks for saving me.

Fred, are you all right? Yeah, I'm fine.

I had an accident.

A bad one.

I wish my car was in as good a shape as I am.

It's all right. Everything's fine.

Fred's okay. He was just about going to tell us what happened.

Well, I came around that curve.

I went off the road.

And my car's at the bottom of the hill.

I'm okay, though, thanks to ISIS.

ISIS?

Rick, why don't I take Fred and Dorothy with me? You and Cindy can arrange for

his call.

Okay. Cindy, let's you and me find a phone booth.

Boy,

there really is nothing around here.

Ah, but there is. I spend a lot of time exploring out here.

Exploring? What's there to explore?

Paves, creeks, even an old ghost town.

A ghost town?

Oh, Miss Thomas, could we go by there?

I don't know. There's a few stories about some very strange things happening

out there.

What kind of strange things?

Eerie noises, wagons that move by themselves, even reports of ghosts.

Now, I'm sure you don't believe in ghosts, Miss Thomas.

Okay.

Hey,

I think we got company.

registers full.

Where do I see that Rick?

What are we going to do?

Well, my vote is while we're here, we might as well look around and then start

the long walk back.

I'll second that.

Well, out of gas in a ghost town with a radio that doesn't work.

Welcome to the ranks of the losers, red old boy.

When did people live here, Miss Thomas?

About 1850, 55.

Wow.

No, I still don't believe in ghosts.

Come on.

Must bend the wind.

There isn't any wind.

You two wait here.

Thomas, are you all right?

Yes, thank you.

It's a little worse for wear.

What is it, Miss Thomas?

I don't know, Fred, but I think it would be a good idea if we get out of here.

Miss Thomas?

That truck we heard about on the radio.

The warehouse robbery.

I'm beginning to understand this a little better. Let's move.

Not so fast, folks.

Too bad you didn't get the message before. It would have saved us all a lot

of inconvenience.

All right, drain load up. We're going to have to find a new place.

Come on, over here.

This was a perfect hideout.

A few folks who came by didn't stay long.

Surprising how many believe in ghosts.

Have a seat.

Go on, go on. You folks are going to have a long walk back.

Hey!

Take it easy there.

What is it, Miss Thomas?

I think I lost something.

Must have happened when I fell.

Well, plenty of time to look for it after they leave.

Boy, they sure must have stolen a lot of things to meet a place like this.

Come on, don't scratch it.

Fred, could you get your radio to work?

Not after the way it acted up this morning.

What did it sound like?

Well, first your voice came on. Then there was a crackling noise.

And then you were cut off.

My antenna must have been shorting out.

Let's give it a try.

Any great thoughts?

I was just thinking of Fred.

He really wanted to win.

Well, Cindy, sometimes you learn more by losing than by winning.

Maybe, but it's not as much fun.

Ready?

Mayday. This is W6.

TZ1 with an emergency. Does anyone copy?

We are in trouble.

Mayday. Mayday.

Mayday. This is an emergency transmission.

What?

We are in trouble.

Mayday. Mayday. Please send the police to the ghost town outside Larkspur. This

is W6TZY. Does anyone copy?

W6TZY. This is WB6KUC.

I copy.

I am calling the highway patrol.

Please confirm your location.

Larkspur ghost town. Sound the police.

Okay, let's move it. I'll follow in their car.

Breathe.

Breathe and start walking whenever you want.

Let's go.

I won't put you in there. I'll be right back.

Hurry up before he finds out we're out of gas.

Oh spirits of the past and gone from sight, arrest this man and stop his

flight.

Be around well twice in one day is pushing it a little I

Have some unfinished business, please tell the officers that I'll have some

more passengers for them from the moment

And in your wake, surround this truck so there's no escape.

So I'm glad to see you. Thank you, Rick, but I do wish you'd have your gas gauge

checked.

My gas gauge?

Oh, what's she talking about?

Where's Andrea? Uh, she's down there looking for something to watch.

Miss Thomas, you missed it all. I was just watching it. And she locked up one

of the men, and then the police came, and they went after the boys. Oh, it

sounds like a crime.

Oh, is that what you were looking for?

Yes, Dorothy, this is it.

I just don't understand what's going on around here.

Fred, I'd really like you to have the trophy that I won.

Well, thanks, Dorothy.

But you did win.

You know, it's funny, though. I don't feel much like a loser anymore.

I guess when you feel good about yourself, it's a lot easier to handle

losing.

Now that's more like it.

Let's go home. In my car.

Your car?

Did something happen to my car?

No. But you really ought to have your gas gauge fixed.

I guessed it.

It's the same thing that Isis said.

How did you... No, no.

I think I've been out in the fun for long.
