During a game last week I was working the plate, the best I can recall; strike two, one out, R1 on first base. The pitch come I calls strike three, the catcher dropped the ball, batter attempted to make it to first base but, was thrown out by the catcher. Question, did the batter have a right to advance.

No, if first base is occupied with fewer than two out, the batter-runner is out. You and your partner should signal vigorously: "He's out! He's out!" After all, it's not a secret.
