Here it is, time to start off on Annie's newest adventure on that unknown island in the South Pacific. But first, if any of you listening haven't tried those swell cold Ovaltine shakeups yet, I want to tell you right now you're passing up something that's just too good to miss. Yes, sir. Boys and girls everywhere are saying those cold bubbly chocolatey Ovaltine shakeups really hit the spot and how. Besides, making shakeups is a regular game. You can have loads of fun making one up for your supper tonight. Now here's all you do. Just take some milk that's good and cold, put in plenty of that swell new chocolate flavored Ovaltine, then some cracked ice, and then shake it up in an orphan Annie shakeup mug if you have one, or else use an ordinary plain glass mason jar. Shake it up for all your worth till it's smooth and creamy and cold. And boy, oh boy, wait till you see how the big sweet chocolatey bubbles come foaming up on top. Believe me, you'll say it tastes even better in a double chocolate soda any day. And remember, besides making the swellest treat ever, Ovaltine shakeups are mighty good for you too. Every single shakeup gives you lots of special things to help make you husky and strong and keep you going with good old orphan Annie pep right through all your games and fun. So don't miss out on shakeups another single day. Ask your mother to get you new chocolate flavored Ovaltine so you can start right in having cold Ovaltine shakeups regularly with your meals and in between meals too every day from now on. But now, all you club members, attention please. Right after tonight's adventure is over, we're going to broadcast an important secret message in Annie's mystery radio code. So get your pencils ready and keep listening. But now, getting back to Annie. Last time, Zepetia, the native chief, who is greatly impressed by our friend's magic, asked Annie and Joe to be a sort of king and queen of his native tribe. Here it is next day now and Annie, Joe, Mr. Wilcox and Pinnacle Bob leaving the rest behind to protect the camp are in the native village for the ceremony. Music can be heard all around them and listen to Annie. Leaping lizards, I wonder what it's gonna feel like to be a queen. Shush, you ought to know Annie, you've been a queen. Huh? Lizers been a queen? What do you mean, Joe? Over in Clovenia, a country in Europe. Gosh, Annie, you're not forgetting that, are you? I was forgetting it, Joe. You see, Annie was almost a double for the princess of Clovenia and when the princess was in trouble because a man named Lorak was trying to get rid of her and make himself dictator, Annie took the princess's place and for a while was just the same as a queen. Good for you, Annie. So shush, you'll know how to act as a queen. But me, Haptoads, how will I ever behave as a king? I wouldn't let that worry me, lad. Can't let you make this good a king as a lot of them that used to sit on the thrones of Europe. Rather, and take a look at your subjects, Joe. Brown and ignorant with their hair all fuzzed up with grease and standing straight up on their heads. And with grass skirts wrapped around their middles. Can't let you have any trouble ruling this roost, lad. But shucks, Annie and I can't even talk their language. And here they're gonna make us their king and queen. Well, don't let that bother you, either. It's a mighty good move for us. It's gonna cement our friendship with these natives a thousand times over. And a good move on Zabiti's part, too. Clever that, chief. He figures that by making Annie and Joe a sort of king and queen, he and his people will get the benefit of all our magic. Oh, it was a good day for us, Annie, when you got the idea of bringing water from the hills down into the village here. Shucks, yes. Just look at that ring of natives standing around that stone tank we built over there in the square. Still got wonder in their eyes after all these weeks. They still can't figure out how we can make water come out of the end of a stick of bamboo. They surely can. Just the same. They're not so dumb in some ways. I'll say they're not. Just look at those fellows over there forming with their spears and arrows. Shucks, some of those spear points made out of stone are just as sharp and polished as steel. And those big shields they've got made out of dried gut cider, Kelly. I was looking at one, tested it. It's strong and sturdy. I don't suppose you could smash it with an axe without two or three whacks at it. Yes, they're smart enough in ways and methods that have been handed down to them. I imagine they've been making spears and arrows and shields on this island exactly like those we see over there now for hundreds of years. We've been lizards talking about spears and arrows, Bud. How about that army we were talking about raising? Army? Yeah. Bud had an idea, Bob, that we might be able to start a little army here. To fight against Captain Steel and the savages if they ever made another raid on us. Shiver my timber, sir. That is an idea. Wouldn't we hand old Steel a surprise of his life if he came over here again and we had an army waiting to deal with him? I'll say we would. What do you, Kelly, to the chances, sir? I don't know, Bob. There's always the question of whether we can trust those natives with our guns. That's right. Besides, Annie's idea of building a transmitting wireless set got me sidetracked. But the army idea may be worth a try. Once Zipedi is made Annie and Joe Queen and King, he can hardly refuse to grant them some natives as a sort of bodyguard. We may find them trustworthy enough to say... Say, here comes Zipedi now. Gosh, he is. And he's got on his feather cloak again. Must be ready for the ceremony, Kelly. Phew. I hope that... Now don't you get nervous, lad. Just keep your head up and your chin high. Hatter! Hatter, Waziri! Hatter, Zipedi! Waziri kumapundapunga setai? Wait, Zipedi. She forget Waziri no speak his tongue. Oh, Hatter, Hatter. Waziri ready? White boy and girl Waziri ready to be kumba, kwestai, king and queen of people of Zipedi? Gosh. Hatter Zipedi, Waziri ready. And proud they feel of honor, Zipedi noble chief do them. Zipedi also proud to honor Waziri. You come now. Hatter, come on folks. Gosh, I don't feel scared exactly, but I got an awful funny feeling in the pit of my stomach. Just take it easy, Joe. Remember you're soon to be a kumba, a king. Boy, and won't that be something to tell the kids back home? If we ever get home, king corn dance are the first. Shiver my timbers, that's quite a fire they've got built head there. Right you are Bob. That seems to be the spots Zipedi is taking us for the ceremony. Look, practically the whole village is lined up in a circle around it. Maybe they're gonna do some more of that walking on hot stones on their bare feet like they did the first time we were here in the village. Chance maybe, but it doesn't smell like any hot stones to me. Hey, there is a smell in the air, lad. You're telling me. Sharks, I noticed it about 15 minutes ago. It's a smell of a cookin. Trust you to notice that, Joe. Sharks, I can't help being hungry and noticing cookin smells even if I am born to be a kumba, can I? There is something hanging over that fire ahead there, hanging across it on spits. Yeah, and unless my nose is awful wrong, it's pig. Shiver my timbers, pig. Say that's just what it is. We're close enough to see now three big pigs roasting over that fire. Some print sunfish, and we didn't know there were any pigs on the island. The tribe must have some somewhere, or perhaps they live wild in the more remote parts. Anyhow, that is roast pig there. Boy, does it smell good. Say, this business of being a kumba is gonna be all right after all. Yes, it's pig. See it is. All Salsee natives are wild over roast pig. Cook it from the peaches to some more. Well, I won't mind a piece of it myself. We're in the circle now. Gosh, they knocked that off quick. Shhh. Kumba, kwestay, adder? He's asking his people about this move. Right you are, and they seem willing. Restay, punisum, restay punta. Kumba, pestay sunda, sunta. Zipidi ask his people. They favor kumba, kwestay of white waziri. You now become queen, king of tribe of Zipidi. Gosh. Punta kumba sota, sota kumba. Leaping lizards, those men are bringing up feather cloaks. Yes, shiver my timbers, just like the chiefs, only smaller. Sota bunga waziri. Adder Zipidi? Adder. With cloak of feather sota made you, white waziri girl. Kwestay. With cloak of feather sota made you, white waziri boy. Kumba, adder kwestay kumba punta Zipidi punta tora forma suma sunda. Sunda, sunda. In a slash. Looks like you two are the mighty popular king and queen. I should say so. The populace seems to like you all right. By rights you should make a speech, but not knowing the tongue I should... Zumba, for totay, for totay rumba zoom, zoom rumba. Leaping lizards, they're all going into a dance. Zipidi's leading them. Stump my main miss, didn't have an idea the chief could step around like that. Look at that cloak of feathers he's wearing fly out behind him. Boy, these are some cloaks all right. The feathers feel just as soft as down, don't they Annie? Yeah, but I haven't been noticing the feathers so much, Joe. What do you mean? Haven't you noticed how these cloaks clasp in front? They've got something fastened to the feathers here that... Well look, Bud. Great Scott, I've seen the natives wearing these stones, but I never got close enough before to... Bob, have a look here. Aye, sir. Is this stone that's a clasp on this feather cloak a diamond? If it is, and if all the bright stones these natives are wearing are diamonds, why then we can be rich beyond all ways of measuring riches. Say, did you hear that? Diamonds. Is it possible that all the bright stones the natives are wearing and those stones that are sparkling on Annie's and Joe's feather cloaks are genuine diamonds? And now, all you club members of Annie's 1938 Secret Society, attention please for an important secret message in Annie's Mystery Radio Code. Got your pencils ready to take it down?
