🌟 Step back in time to the thrilling world of "The Blue Beetle," where rookie patrolman Dan Garrett transforms into a daring crusader for justice! 🦸‍♂️

Created by Charles Nicholas, The Blue Beetle made his debut in August 1939 in the comic book Mystery Men #1, published by Fox Features Syndicate. This radio serial, originally aired from May 15, 1940, to September 13, 1940, as a CBS syndicated series, brings the heroic adventures of The Blue Beetle to life.

Actor Frank Lovejoy lends his voice to the character for the first thirteen episodes, taking you on a pulse-pounding journey through the criminal underworld.

After losing his father to a gangster's bullet, young Dan Garrett joined the New York Police Department. Frustrated by the slow pace of justice, he dons a bullet-proof chain-mail-like costume made of cellulose material, thanks to the guidance of his mentor, Dr. Franz, a pharmacist and drug-store proprietor.

The Blue Beetle fights crime with a unique calling card, a beetle-shaped marker left at crime scenes to strike fear into the hearts of criminals. He also wields a "Beetle Signal" flashlight, and his reputation as a relentless crime-fighter serves as a formidable weapon. Armed with a revolver, he patrols the streets, wearing a multi-pouched belt and driving the "BeetleMobile" car and "BeetleBird" airplane.

Discover the thrilling tales of The Blue Beetle, complete with super-scientific gadgets like the "magic ray machine," in this classic radio serial from the Golden Age of Radio.
