It has been a long time since I have posted a Space Patrol adventure...thanks to the Armed Forces Radio Service...and the Old Time Radio Researchers Group... more shows have become available.  In this episode Prince Baccarratti shows up on a new planet that features dinosaurs and huge birds...also native tribes who Baccarratti has enslaved. Look Out!  Terra 5 is about to land!

This is the conclusion to "The Menace of Planet X" - Does Commander Corey and Cadet Happy rescue the professor? Do they escape the "Plasta Weapon... which seals the victim up in a coat of heavy plastic!"  How will the Commander and Cadet get one of the natives to let them out of a iron cell?
Note:  Some spots in the audio in this recording is of poor quality, but I didn't want to play Part 1 and not have a conclusion to it... and that is "The Trap On Planet X."  Despite the audio quality ,  I believe it is clear enough that you will know what happened when you hear the story.
