week's episode of The Falcon. Today's episode just aired two weeks after the previous
one. The original aired eight November twenty seventh, nineteen forty five, and
the title is Murder Is a Family Affair. Avoid five o'clock Shadow, Use
gem blades, use gem Blades, use gem Blade, gem Raisers and jem
Blades Present the Adventures of a Falcon. Hello, Yes, this is the
Falcon. Oh, Nancy, I'm glad you called what's on the program for
tonight? Well, it sounds like an awfully dead evening, baby, but
you can never tell. Tomorrow there may be morning once again. Jem Blades,
the razor blades that help you avoid five o'clock shadow, bring you the
Adventures of the Falcon. The Falcon, as you know, is Michael Wearing,
freelance detective who's always ready with a hand for oppressed men and an eye
for repressed women. So join him tonight when the Falcon learns murder is a
family affair. It's a rainy Tuesday evening in New York and the city streets
are deserted save for a dark red convertible which is part of the curb,
and at the wheel sits Brenda Sinclair, fondling her pet Piganese wine pool.
No, no, no, baby, don't be impatient. That's going to
meet us shortly. Then you and mamma are going to go far, far
away where nasty mens can't find me. Hello, Brenda Kenny, does have
you been waiting long? It seemed like years. That's just the way I
felt in that hallway. Ray, Hello sin Claire, fancy being you here.
I thought I warned you to stay away from my wife. Brenda doesn't
care about you. She hasn't for years. Ray, I'm leaving you,
really, Kenny and I are going away on a little trip. Maybe Kenny
is Brenda, but not you. Right, put away that gun. What's
the idea, Sinclaire? I warned you to stay away from my wife Kenny,
but you wouldn't listen. Ray. Maybe this is the only language you
can understand. Why, Raymond Sinclair. It is the judgment of this court
that you be confined to States Penitentiary, and on the night of November twenty
seventh, you shall be electrocuted there as provided for by state law. And
may God have mercy on yourself. Claire, Yes, sir, Some visitors
wire Hello, Mike Fancy, Hello Ray, have you heard anything yet?
You better tell him, Mike, Ray We we just got back from seeing
the governor. That news up. I'm sorry for I wasn't very hopeful,
no matter how you put it, I still killed a man in cold blood.
Well we Sinclair's never did have much luck with our women. Anyway.
At least you'll be glad to know your brother Danny broke the jinks. Good
for him. Too bad. I never got a chance to meet his wife.
What what do you think of her? Nancy? Gloria is all right,
Oh, that Danny deserves the best. He's a good kid. One
million and Gloria are waiting at my partner, Mike, I wonder if you
do me a great favor. You don't have to ask me. I'm a
little worried about Danny. I'm afraid he may go off the deep end after
this. You know, he always felt that Brenda was responsible this mess.
I understand he's just a kid, Mike. He's got screwy ideas. Would
you keep an eye on him? It's a promise, Mike. What what
time is it? Almost nine? They'd say, the last sixty minutes of
the toughest thing. I got a cigarette it? Oh? Sure everyone?
Nancy? Yes? Please? No? Not three on the match? Yeah,
Mike, Yeah, yeah, you're gonna stick around for the Yeah.
I'd like you too very much. Oh is that already? Yes, it's
all over, Gloria. I know we heard the flash on the radio.
Where's Danny in the living room? How's he taking it? Not so good?
Mike. If you don't be yellow or cry, I could understand it,
but he just sits there and looks at the wall. He won't even
talk to me. Hello, Danny, Hello, how's the boy? Great?
Danny? I I can't tell you, Mike, Mike. Maybe Danny
would like some coffee. Oh that's a swell idea, darling. Why don't
you make some? No, don't bother Nancy, Danny, for Heaven's sake,
stop it. I'm sorry, Gloria. Danny, you've got to stop
tormenting yourself. We know what you're going through. No, I don't think
you're doing Nancy. Mike. Did you make all the funeral arrangements? No,
you'll see, kidd it. It was kind of taken out of my
hands. Oh what do you mean Your sister in law Brenda claimed the body.
Oh, good old Brenda. She doesn't miss a trick, does she.
I hope there were plenty of pump sisters around to catch her act.
Yes, she had to get a headline out of it, and without any
effort. All right, Danny Spinett, what have you got on your mind?
Murder? Danny? That's right, Gloria. I got an appointment with
Brenda tonight, and I'm afraid she doesn't know about it yet. Danny,
I'm not being funny. I didn't intend it to be. Why didn't you
get wise to yourself? It's time you grew up. Try to be a
man for a change, and not a sniveling brath. Oh, I'm glad
to find out what you think of me. You are, Oh, Danny,
don't you see she's only telling you that for your own good. Don't
argue with him, man, it isn't worth the effort. He'll go along
all his life feeling sorry for himself, wondering what everybody picks on him.
Wife's seen kids of ten with more stuff than he's got. Anything else you
would care to No, I've said my piece, Danny. Anytime you want
to go, it's perfectly all right with me. Thanks for your permission.
Right, don't let him? Danny? Where'd you get that gun? It's
yours. I got a lot of your destroyed Let me have it. I'm
sorry, friend, Now can do? Danny? I want you to give
me that gun. I'm like you be swellowing me, so please don't maybe
do something I'll be sorry for. I'll say where you are? Are you
going to give me that gun? How? Come closer next time? Mike?
Danny listen to me. I have Glorian. I've taken it very much,
so heart so I'm just a kid making big talk, am I?
Well? Watch me changed for a man of action. Well now we have
to worry about Danny and hope he'll realize that Branda is not worth shooting.
Well, there isn't anything I can do about that. But here's something I
can do to help a lot of you who have five o'clock shadow. I
can tell you that nine times out of ten men will stay face neat right
around the clock by shaving the gemway, that is, with a gem razor
and a genuine gem blade. I know it takes a definite effort on your
part to change your shaving method, but I promise you that if you shave
the gemway, your effort will be repaid every day of your life. Gem
Raisers are again available at your dealers. Get one if you haven't one already,
and begin immediately to enjoy Gem's famous features, such as the clever face
fitting bevel, which compels you to use the master barber's long gliding stroke and
to You'll like the way the super keen gem blade gets the beard at skin
level so close, clean and comfortable, So try the gemway, won't you
avoid five o'clock shadow with a gem raiser and gem blades. Now back to
the Adventures of the Falcon. It's a few minutes later and in Mike's apartment,
the Falcon and Gloria listen anxiously while Nancy makes a call. Well,
Nancy, the operator couldn't give me the number, Mike, Now, how
are you going to warn Brenda? I really don't see why your people are
so concerned. Danny won't do anything. You're wrong, Glawia. Look,
Mike, I'm married to him. I know how he reacts way. Danny
could no more kill her than I could. Basically, he's just a sweet
kid, just a sweet kid bent on murder. Well, then you think
he meant what he said every word? Why don't you do something I'm trying
to Gloria. Now let me think you do that, Mike. But I'm
not going to sit around and wait any longer. I'm going after that.
Gloria, come back here. I don't go donning. You'll give her something
to occupy her mind. But shouldn't we phone the police or or something?
I'd rather not If it ever gets out that Danny's gunning for his sister in
law. It'll make a Roman holiday for the newsboys. Well, what do
you think Danny will be doing? Meanwhile, in case you've forgotten, Donny,
that boy is wired for sound. And suppose we attempt a little short
circuiting, maybe we can still beat him to her apartment. Get your coat,
baby, it's wait a try No dog, you did, miss Brenda,
didn't you, Billy? Come on, let's see who it is.
Daddy, Oh Dy Silvera, what do you want? How gonna talk to
you when all the time you got a lossy dog in your life. Don't
take that way about one pool? Excuse me, please, Brandy. In
the last month you borrow across the twelve grand from me. You'll get your
money back. Sure, but Wayne Branda, any day, as soon as
they settle, raise the steak. I got news for you, Darling.
What are you talking about? Papa didn't leave you a cent? You know
it's my business. Don't know the dirty double cross orf try giving the best
years of my life, you know for a smart Dame Branda, you're don't
use your head so good. Twelve grant don't mean so much to the silver
you like me to call him off. What's the cats? The silver?
You never gave away anything in your life? Oh, catch, just marry
me? Are you kidding? You've got the worst? Are you? Fat
slob? I wouldn't have you for all the gold in your teeth. That
wasn't hockey. You're awful fussy. Don't make me laugh now, go on,
get out? You want to watch your mouth, Girly, nobody ever
talks to the Silver like that? Are you threatening me, you big ape?
Come on in? Oh why, sugar Plum, this is a surprise
to darthly. Sweet of you to car, isn't it sweet of me too?
Nancy? I didn't see you. Are we interrupting something? No,
nothing important, mister de Silver was just leaving, weren't you? Fat stuff?
Joke? Maybe when you're think him of the won't Oh yeah, the
darling the nasty man frightened moments, didn't she sweet Michael? Hmm, she's
pretty agreed. You know, takes after her mother, doesn't she? Ye?
What did you mean by that crack? You readily what you say?
Well, Nancy never liked me, Michael. You were the only one who
ever understood me. Yes, sugar Plum, Oh come now, Brenda,
this is sugar plum. Remember you knew you win. Very funny. Well
what do you want? I don't suppose you came around to offer your condolences.
Nobody came around to offer some advice. Your brother in law, Danny's
gunning for you. Look, Mike, if that's all you've got to say,
you can beat it. Little Brenda can look after herself, Darling.
Let's go okay. Oh oh, sugar plum. Ah, did Ray leave
all his money to Danny? Why? Nothing? It just dawned on me
that my brother in law isn't such a kid that he's got possible. Yes,
the right woman could do a lot for him. Maybe the right woman
could. But if I were you, I'd forget it, Brenda. But
then you're not me, dear, because what I've forgotten you'll never learn.
Good Night, you lovely people. Come Tom, that's a sweet thing.
Mamma's little baby was so hungry. And I'm going all right, all right,
I'm coming, Danny, Darling, I'm so glad you dropped in.
Nothing could keep me away. Ye, let me take your cart. Never
mind, Danny, don't mean to Brenda. Now. The poor Ray is
gones. Just the two of us left we've got to look out for woman.
Danny and he put away that gun as soon as I've finished. You're
frightening one pool. What about you, Kenny. You've got to believe me.
It wasn't my fault. You're quite true. You're crazy. Danny,
You're crazy. You'll never get away with it. They'll fight like they did
Ray. I don't think so, Mike. I'm worried. There's no reason
to be Nancy when I think of Danny roaming the streets with a gun.
Don't you worry about Branda? That baby can take care of herself. And
don't you know it? Yes? And don't know? And just how well
did you know her before she met Ray? Darling? Ah saved by the
bell? Come in, Mike, Mike, did you find Danny? No?
Didn't you No? I looked everywhere. I even up to bring us
all. There was no answer. Mike. I'm scared, but there's nothing
to be scared about. Hello Falcon, Yes, this is Juliet Gleeson d
Headquarters. Oh, hi, Sargeant, how's takes well? I'll shut of
a couple of twinges in my back. I can't complain, Say, Falkin,
you were a friend of race and Claire, won't you? That's right,
and it might interest you to learn that murder runs in the family.
What are you babbling about? Then he just knocked off his sister in law.
There must be some mistake. There's no mistake. He tried to kill
himself afterwards, but he lost his nerve. Listen, Gleeson, hold everything.
I'm coming right down. Take your time, falking. There's no hurry.
The way it looks nearly your friend's going to be with us for a
long long time. Now check me if I'm wrong, Danny. After you
pulled the rod, your sister in law tried to move away from you.
That's right. Whereupon you made a couple of more speeches and then you'll let
fly at her. What'd you do after that? I turned the gun on
myself. Then you passed out, Yes, sir, I think that takes
care of everything. Now if you'll just sign this now what to Lisa?
Tell him to let me in? All right? George? Hello, Danny?
Hello, how do you feel? All right? I guess I want
you to tell me exactly what happened, if you don't mind, folk,
and I was here first. Now go ahead, kids, sign it?
What's that is confession. Hold it, Danny Lison. Have you seen Charlie
de Silva? You mean the loan Shark. Yes, he had a fight
with Brenda tonight. She was in hawk to him. I heard all about
it. We had him on the carpet an hour ago. How come you
let him go without informing me? Look? Folk, and I was under
the impression the new mayor's name was O'Dwyer. Well, can't you give me
a little time to get all the angles? Why do you want to give
the kid false hopes? We know who killed the dan? He admits it.
He's right, Mike. Yeah. And this is the gun you used,
Danny, Yes, sir, I took it from Mike's apartment. Let's
see that. Anything to waste time? Yes, that's mine. Only when
he took it it was fully loaded. Say wait a minute, Danny,
how many shots did you fire at Brenda? One and one of yourself?
Is that right? Yes? And before you left my place, you took
a pot shot at me? Oh he did did? No, that's not
the point. Please, How many shots in all? Is that? Mate?
Don't tell me? Three? All right? Einstein, Look at this
chamber. There are four exploded shells in there. How do you explain that's
cheesy? He shot the girl twice? Did you find two slugs in her?
Well? No? And what happened to the other bullet? It went
wild? No it didn't. I only shot her once and then I turned
the gun on myself. You're lying? Use who I had Gleason? He's
admitted killing her. What motive would he have to lie about that missing bullet?
It must be somewhere in a wrong Did any of your boys find it?
What was the point of looking? And you can't have any objections if
I do ful? Can? Will you stop trying to complicate matters? Come
on, Sergeant be a Sport. Give me an hour to look over Brenda's
apartment. If I can't find the shell by that time, I'm advised Danny
to sign the confession, there will be no more horse than her round.
I give you my word. Okay, here's the key, hike. How
much of that hour have we got left? Or twenty minutes? It will
have to work a lot faster. Well, there's one sure thing. That
slug isn't anywhere on this floor. Suppose we try to reconstruct what happened.
Oh, I'll play Danny and you play Brenda. Oh this ought to be
fun. What do I do? Well? According to Danny's story, he
was standing over by the sofa. Are you back away from me as if
you were afraid? I mean light like this? Oh that's perfect. I
pull out the gun might put that thing away, So all right, dear,
I just want to make this as realistic as possible. Let's not overdo
it. You don't have to point it at me. Don't haggle, Nancy,
get on with your act. Pretend you're Brenda. Now what would you
say? Now? You wouldn't shoot poor little me? Now? Would you?
Sugar plum? I certainly will if you continue with that sugar plumb routine?
Where'd you pick that up from? Brenda? Oh? The question is
where did she pick it up? Now, Darling, stick to your script.
Where were we? Oh? Yes, you just finished pleading for your
life and it's availed me nothing? Right, So now I shoot? Bang?
Am I dead? Very mulled, gracefully to the floor. Ah that's
the way. How do I look as a court? Not so good?
Oh? When I thought I gave a wonderful performance. No, no,
something's missing. Did I leave out a sugar plum? A? Wait a
minute, I think I've got it. Sure you know what's wrong with this
picture? You didn't have? I heard it? Maybe someone's coming in here?
Just take quie. Hello dey Silver? Huh, I said hello?
Now shut the door and come in. What are you doing here? Since
one, I gotta answer your questions? Might be smart if you did see
this? Would that ride away? Folk? You're not frightening anybody except me,
Nancy. Phone Sergeant Gleason. Tell him I'm taking the Silver over to
my apartment. Ask him to bring Danny there. But Mike, isn't that
highly irregular? Highly? But then, dear, this is a most unconventional
murder. You know something, Fulgan. I got a hunch you're gonna be
very sorry about this, and I got a hunch the silver. You may
be right, Nancy. That must be Sergeant Gleason. Will you let him
in? Hello? Sergeant? And you brought a friend along her night?
Hi, Nancy, I guess he's here. What Gloria, Gloria, Now,
don't og Gleason. It's not polite. Oh so did I believe you
know mister de Silver we've met? Nancy? Will you lock the door please?
Certainly? What will I do with the key? Put it where no
one can get it. I know just the place. Hey, don't do
that. Oh, I'm sorry, sergeant, it's slipped. Very comical.
I know a good one too. Suppose I tossed you all in the clink,
relaxed, Gleeson. I'll tell you why Nancy did that. It better
be good. It is the killer of Brenda Sinclair's in this room. You
don't have to tell me I brought him here. Well, if you did,
he's not getting out alive. What are you talking about? Why do
you think I had Nancy locked that door? You expect this sweat a confession
out of someone more than that, Gleason. Give me half an hour and
that someone will be sweating blood. This time it'll be his own. Well,
all I can say is that the falcon's going to find it slightly grim
if he doesn't make good. You know that's one thing that never worries me
when I make statements about the gem way of shaving. Gem always makes good.
And now the gem razers are once more available at all dealers. More
men than ever before can shave the gemway, and so avoid five o'clock shadow.
You know, of course, that to get the best out of your
gem raizer. You must use gem blades. They fit precisely, shave perfectly.
Their super keen deep wedge edge gets the beard at the base clean and
close. No topping the beard, no little islands of stubble left on your
chin. You get incredibly close, smooth shaves which naturally last much longer.
That's why we can say that a gem shave will keep your face socially acceptable
right around the clock. So try the gem way of shaving. Avoid five
o'clock shadow with a gem raiser and gem blades. Now back to the Adventures
of the Falcon. Twenty five minutes have passed since Mike Wearing made his promise
to reveal the killer of Brenda Sinclair. Now in the Falcon's apartment. Well,
how about it, folks, anybody feel like confessing? How about you
to silver. They say it's good for the sh you can go razy,
easy enough for the luck. Falkin A joke's a joke. But but what
uh if you don't open that door. I'm sorry, Gleason, you saw
Nancy lose the key. No one's leaving until the murderer confesses. But Danny
killed her, didn't your kid? Oh? I'm not so sure, now
see what goes on here. I only fired three shots out of that gun,
so you did, but the chamber shows that four were fired. Maybe
you'd like to know what happened to that missing bullet? Did you find it
in Branda's apartment? Falkin, No, that's what put me on the right
track. You didn't, so it did? Oh why didn't I learn a
trade? Try to visualize this scene, sergeant, because this is what must
have happened after Danny shut Brenda. We know she keeled over dead, that's
just it. She wasn't dead then that bullet didn't touch her, and the
mine's crazy. No one ever saw Brenda unless she was carrying about that pet
Pekinese of hers wang pool, the only thing she was fond of. So
what well, that's where you're missing bullet went. It hit the dog,
that's right, and Brenda fainted from sheer fright as anyone might. But Danny
didn't know that. He turned the gun on himself. Next our murderer enters,
he sees brendan Danny out cold. He takes the gun out of Danny's
hand and pumps a shot into Brenda, and he exits, but not before
he removes the dying dog. Why he had to, otherwise it would give
the whole show away? Am I right to silver ow wll I know that
that's right. You wouldn't think of it. You had no real motive to
kill Brenda. You wanted either Brenda or the money you loaned her, But
with her dead you were out of luck on both counts. So if we
want to find our killer, we'll have to look elsewhere for him. Mike,
you said him, Then our murderer is a man. That was a
figure of speech too. It happens our killer is a woman, isn't she
Gloria? Huh, that's right? She killed Brenda? What the whole thing's
crazy? I killed her? No, you only thought you did, Danny.
Isn't that right, Gloria? What am I supposed to do? Break
down and confess. It might help if you want to get out of here,
Harry, I can stay all night. I hope your guest room is
comfortable. I'm afraid you'll never live to use it. I see you've got
a band aid on your hand. Is that where Wang Poo nipped you when
you picked him up? Who's gone much longer? Not much? I had
some of the blood on Brenda's carpet analyzed it was dog's blood, and that
that told me that the hound had rabies and whoever handled it was bound to
get hydrophobia. Whoever have hydrophobia, Gloria, you're not frightening me. You
must have gotten that fight around ten o'clock. It means the incubation period is
almost over, maybe a half hour more, they tell me. Unless you
get to a doctor fast. It starts off with a burning sensation. By
the way, Glawia, how does that hand feel kind of itchy? Stop?
Stop it might you're not funny. The awful temptation to scratch it isn't
there? Better watch out for that darling that spreads the infection all the faster.
Cut it out. I haven't taken it out. What, Gloria,
where you going? That door's locked? Remember, Let me out of here,
Let me get to a doctor. Please please let me up. Michael,
there wasn't any blood on Brenda's car, that's right, And that pooch
didn't have raby of course not. Wasn't nice touch, though, wasn't it?
Oh? Lovely? It just goes to prove what a terrible thing a
guilty conscience can be. Yes, but I still don't understand why Gloria killed
Brenda or she didn't intend to. Originally she thought Danny was going to do
it for her, but when he fumbled the ball, she had to do
the job herself. I don't follow you. Well, Gloria knew the cops
would grab Danny for the murder. You mean she wanted to get rid of
him. That was her fondest desire. When Ray went to the chair,
Danny became a rich kid. If anything happened to him, his money would
go to Gloria. Natch. Could you ask for a better motive? Then,
when she bailed Danny out before he left, she was just trying to
go to him on But Mike, now, Darling, I've told you everything.
Oh no, there's one thing you forgot. Brenda calls you sugarplums.
How do you explain that? Oh, Nan, see, let's not go
into that now. It's a long story, but that's the kind of like
this. Come here, Darling, now, Michael stops. You're not going
to get out of it like that. I didn't intend to, Dear you
wanted to hear the story of Brendan sugarplum. Well, what you got just
then the prologs murder is a Grave situation. Murder is a Grave situation.
That's the title of next week's Adventure of the Falcan, when Mike Wearing learns
that even those with double trouble can only die once. So be sure and
listen next week at the same time to another gay, exciting adventure of the
Fulcan, and in the meanwhile, avoid five o'clock Shadow with a Gym Raiser
and Jem Blaze. The Adventures of the Falcon, now based on the famous
character created by A Drexel Drake James Men was start of the Falcon. This
is a nutual broadcasting system. Welcome back. This is the only network version
of Men's Falcon, and it's something. First of all, the commercials were
unique. The opening made Five o'clock Shadows seem more terrifying than anything that was
on the Shadow radio program. The announcer made the point during the mid show
commercial that he couldn't prevent Danny from ruining his life, but he could help
prevent you from ruining your which has to be one of the more awkward transitions
I heard in a commercial that plus, no one really expects the announcer to
solve the problems you're the announcer. I mean, if we get to the
point where the announcers start solving the case and the detectives starts selling the product,
I think that we may have gone in a bad direction or lost the
plot somewhere. Given the commercials and the overall tone of the piece they been
at, the execution House was surprisingly weighty in the way it was played,
particularly when Wearing's presence was requested at the moment of execution. Well, we
don't have credits for this episode. I recognize John Gibson as the sergeant of
course. John Gibson best known as Ethelbert from Casey Crime Photographer and Jackson Beck
as the Loan Shark. Now, this is actually the second series we played
this year where we've heard John Gibson playing a police officer. The other one
was Michael Piper, Private Detective, which we played back in February. The
Falcon's promise to encourage Danny to sign the confession if he hadn't solved the case
within an hour, as well as Gloria as well as Gloria panicking over a
spurious hydrophobia claim. We're a bit silly, and I think that it's not
the type of thing that you will typically hear on The Falcon, particularly when
we get into the nineteen fifties programs. One thing that I did love about
this series, and it certainly didn't carry over to the nineteen fifties show,
is the Nancy character. The Falcon tended not to have a regular girl,
but I like the idea of her being around to call him out and poke
fun at some of these ridiculous characters. I would definitely love to hear more
Nancy, but this is actually all we have for the James Mean era,
which ran one hundred and nine weeks. So next week we'll hear a new
lad and get a feel for how he played the Falcon. Now it's time
to thank our Patreon supporter of the day, and I want to go ahead
and think Laura. Laura has been one of our Patreon supporters since June of

I mean the Falcon. But join us back here tomorrow or for the
start of a new yours, truly, Johnny Dollar Cereal. Where wait,
mister Dollar, you want to talk to me? Of course? Well,
yes, I'm the agent here for the Great Plains Guarantee Company. I'm the
one that sold that policy to the full of it's dead. Oh, so
that's it. Of course he wasn't dead, then, you understand I'm glad
to hear it. Feeling pretty lively as a matter of fact. But with
a new young wife and all that, I imagine. So and not mister
Dollar. You've got to do something about that woman. H Oh, she's
driving me crazy. She wants her money, she says, fifty thousand dollars,
and she seems to think I'm carrying it around in my pocket. She's
kind of anxious, I'll tell you how anxious. Chief Blake was shot about
two in the morning, and at three that afternoon, Marty, that's missus
Blake was down at my office after a claim form. Yeah, I understand
it was sta Airmeil's special delivery. But she insisted on it made me take
it straight to the post office, assume as she'd signed it pretty cold blooded
about it? Well, I've heard Marty Blake called a lot of different things
in this town at different times, but never cold blooded. You follow me,
I think I'm ahead of you. I hope you'll be with us then.
