This is 4BL calling 2RM. Calling 2RM. Please come in, Billy Batson.

Why doesn't that guy answer?

Please come in, Billy Batson. Please come in. This is 4PL calling 2RM. Please

come in, Billy Batson. There's a bomb. Why did it explode in your plane in one

minute past eight?

Fail out!

Shazam!

There's Carlisle's lens.

Good. You had no difficulty getting it, eh? No. Everything worked out just as

you had planned.

I need three more lenses to complete the solar atom smasher.

When that is accomplished, I'll be able to create unlimited wealth and have a

weapon which will make me invulnerable.

Getting the remaining lenses should be easy now that Billy Batson's out of the

way. But Batson isn't dead.

But he was in that plane. How could he have escaped?

I don't know.

But I overheard Betty talk to him this morning.

He said he was rescued by Captain Marvel.

We must attend to him at once.

And this time, not even Captain Marvel can save him.

I don't know how.

I can arrange it.

There is to be a meeting at Malcolm's house today, and Batson will be there.

Since I have the confidence of the others, it will be simple for me to have

Batson sent to any place that we may...

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

Hello, Billy. Hello, Betty.

I thought you were going to prevent the scorpion from getting Carlisle's lens.

Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Fisher. I tried to.

Billy did all he could, Mr. Fisher. And you might remember that his efforts are

also for your benefit.

My benefit? Please, let's not lose our tempers. Yes, gentlemen, we mustn't get

rattled. Howell and Carlisle are both dead.

And each of us can look forward to the same violent end as long as the scorpion

remains unknown and at large.

You're quite right.

But the problem still remains.

What are we going to do?

Destroy the remaining lenses.

And deprive the world of the most revolutionary device in history?

I can never agree to that.

I'm sorry to be so late, but I believe I've made an important discovery.

The sign of the Scorpion.

Where did you get it?

At Carlisle's.

I was going through his study in the hope of finding a clue.

And found this on the floor.

What do you make of it, Lang?

I know only one man in this country who might have such a collection.

He's Chan Lau, the Oriental curio dealer.

If Chan Lau has such a collection, the scorpion must have got this from him.

But suppose this Chan Lau is working for the scorpion.

In that case, if one of us goes to his shop to investigate, we'll only put him

on his guard.

Billy could go.

No one would suspect him.

Well, that's fine with me. I'll go right now.

I wanted to go downtown, Mr. Malcolm, if you don't need me anymore.

Why, certainly, Betty. Run along.

Where are you headed for, Betty?

I got the license number of that truck the Scorpions men were in yesterday.

And I want to go down to the motor vehicle department to find out who the

owner is. Good.

You get all the dope you can on it, and we'll talk it over when I get back from

chance.

That was... Close.

I wonder if that was deliberate.

Wait here.

I'm beginning to wonder about him.

Me too.

But we'll have to wait till we get to the bottom of these clues.

Chan Lau?

Yes.

You startled me.

A thousand appartments.

What can I do for you?

Do you recognize this?

Why, certainly.

Where did you get it?

I found it.

Who'd you sell it to?

Sell it?

Never. My collection is intact.

This must be an imitation.

Are you sure?

Well, to end all doubts, suppose we go down to the vault, check through the

collection. All right.

Climb up and gag him.

Lock him in a vault. I'll phone Barnett.

Give me security. Got it.

Mr. Carter?

Yes, what is it?

I understand that you rented a truck recently.

License number 6W721.

Yes. Can you tell me who rented it?

That's what I'd like to know.

The truck hasn't come back yet.

And the driver gave me a phony name.

Oh, I see.

Well, thank you very much.

lot upstairs.

How'd you make out, Cowan? Well, we got that Batson kid for sure this time.

He's locked up in Chandler's vault. What are they going to do with him?

Barnett's going down there to take care of him.

I'll see if he's there now.

Someone's on the extension.

That's how it will be.

Come on out, sister.

You're not leaving just yet.

Take her upstairs.

I'll get hold of the Scorpion and see what he wants to do with her.

Hello, Chan.

Where's Batson?

Stepping about.

He just came in.

Oh, you got it.

Yes?

Shazam!

No,

you better take care of her there.

Yeah, make it look like an accident.

My men just captured the Wallace girl.

Looks like a lucky day for the Scorpion.

The day isn't over yet.

Where's Miss Wallace?

Where's Miss Wallace?

Talk fast, or I'll... All right. All right, I'll tell you.

She's at the M Street garage, near 4th Avenue.

says we've got to get rid of her and make it look like an accident.

Well, we've got some paint remover.

Give her a whip of that, load her in the car, and kind of loop down the ramp.

That'll do it.
