: "THE PHANTOM EMPIRE" A*' Fictinizipd by David Fluurnoy From the MASCOT Motion Picture Serial In Twelve Thrllllnil Ch?p?er ? Rplitode No. S "BENEATH THE EARTH" Synopsis: Gene Autry, young rancher, combatting both a crooked gang who frame him In a murder and the weird Muranlans, unearthly beings who dwell under ground. Finally the gang trap him with two young pals in a gun powder explosion. Flame reached powder simul taneously with the opening o( a door at the end of the tunnel. Gene, Frankie and Betsy plunged out Into daylight as a shattering explosion wrecked the tunnell they had Just left. Their .young friends of the Junior Thunder Riders Club had reachejl the secret door in time! _'(Prof. Beetson and Dr. Saund ers caused that blast!" Gene quickly surmised. "Come on, be fore they find us!" Gene galloped away with the youngesters following. The two unscrupulous scien tists, foiled once more In their at tempts to kill the two-fisted rancher and ge.t his radium-laden land, hurried up in time to glimpse the disappearing Junior Thunder Riders. Beetson gave a crisp Com mand. Horses were brought. He > and his henchmen dashed off in pursuit of Gene. But they were dealing with clever quarry, wise In the ways of the chase, Gene saw their ap proaching dust-cloud and, sending the kids ahead to their Clubhouse, he unsaddled faithful Pico in a clump -of brush. A slap on the horse's flanks sent It out among a herd of grazing mustangs, while Gene crouched unseen among the fereasewood. Beetson s gang reined up a lew feet away. No sign of man or horse. Disgusted, they rode past while Gene chuckled silently. In a few minutes he had re Joined young Frankie and Betsy Baxter at their secret Clubhouse in the hills. "We've told Pete and Oscar to bring the broadcasting equipment here." said Frankie. "The two O'clock program can go on!" Thus it was that a heavily-laden farm-wagon lumbered away from Radio Ranch an hour later. On the seat were a settler and bis "wife" ? the two comic cowhands rigged up in what they considered the cleverest of disguises. They passed Prof. Beetson's party with subdued chuckles. "He'll never suspect who we be," whispered Oscar. But the plotters were wiser than Oscar bargained tor. "See that," Beetson whispered to Cooper, who did his dirty work. "We'll trail those two yokels right to Autry's hide-out!" And as soon as the wagon dis appeared around a curve in the snaky hill road, the cutthroats split up and followed. But Gene. Frankie and Betsy waiting in the Clubhouse, were unknowingly exposed to a danger far greater than that of discovery by Beetson. For Beetson, cruelly clever though he was. possessed only man-made weapons ^nd pow ers. And closing in on the un suspecting trio were a horde of warriors from the . super-race dwelling in underground Muranla! In a glittering. bejewelled palace at the base of a gigantic elevator shaft 20,000 feet beneath the ground, a beautiful blonde queen gazed balefully at a televi sion screen. "Autry and the two young earthlings are in the shack." an nounced Queen Tlka. "Send my warrior Pol to. capture them. This time the Thunder Riders must not fall!" me irio in me loneiy tiuo houfle had no warning of their frightful danger until the squad ron of masked fighting men, swift as the wind, swept down upon them. The surface entrance to Murania was too near their hld ingplace. "Barricade the windows!" Gene shouted. "Then hide!" Outside, the Mura'nian leader Pol halted the flame-gun attack on glimpsing the farm-wagon in the distance. At his command, the other horsemen thundered off to capture Pete and Oscar. Alone, Pol sneaked up to the little cab In. , "8-s-s-t-t!" His flame-gun ate through the door like so much cheese cloth. Then he was In side. But now Gene Autry, with reck less bravery, went Into action. He leaped upon the Muranian giant with such fury that the creature finally went down. Gene glanced out the door. The other Thunder Rider* were returning. "Guard this fellow," Gene told Frankle and Betay. "I'll put on his clothes and try to send the other* away. That will save you klda, anyway." Thoughtless of himself, Gene Joined the dread horsemen. But Instead of obeying his command to leave, they made Mm prisoner. "You have failed to capture Autry." cried one. "You know the price of (allure. Queen Tlka will pronounce your 'doom!" Ami they dragged Gene down to Murania. Amazed at the wond er* of thl* underground nation, he ?tumbled op to the queen's .glit tering throne. There they Jerked off his helmet and revealed, not Pol, but the earth-man. Gene Autry. "Take him to the Death-Cham ber!" Queen Tika cried. When all was In readiness for the execution, she commanded her chancellor Argo to switch on the electric currept!
