this week's episode of Mister Chameleon.
The original aired eight December the fifteenth,

13
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:37,840
nineteen forty eight, and the title
is Mister Chameleon's Strangest Murder Case. Next

14
00:01:38,159 --> 00:02:12,159
Mister chameleon Strangest Murder Case. Tonight, we again present the famous mister Cameleon

15
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,560
of Central Headquarters in his most famous
Cases of Crime and Murder, brought to

16
00:02:16,599 --> 00:02:22,960
you by the makers of genuine Bayer
Aspirin. Now let me tell you just

17
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:28,520
who mister Camellion is. A college
man, he tried from childhood to live

18
00:02:28,599 --> 00:02:32,360
up to the name he bore Chameleon, by taking on the color of whatever

19
00:02:32,439 --> 00:02:38,240
situation in which he found himself,
appearing in endless guises, finally entering the

20
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:43,639
police force, where he became known
as Cameleon, the man of many faces,

21
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:50,280
the underworld's most dreaded man. The
listener invariably knows who mister Camellion is,

22
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,759
no matter which disguise he assumes,
but the criminal's tracking down seldom does.

23
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,680
Tonight we give you mister Camellion.
In Mister Cameleon Strangest Murder Case.

24
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:15,560
It is early evening and in the
luxurious duplex apartment of Jim and Polly Towers.

25
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,199
Jim is angrily pacing up and down. His face is livid, his

26
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:23,919
voice trembling with rage as he says
to the weeping girl on the sofa,

27
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:29,039
tell me the truth, Polly,
what was that man doing here? Why

28
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,000
was Billy Kellum here? In this
apartment. Jim, dear, please don't

29
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,879
let your taper get the best of
you, and tell me what the shady

30
00:03:35,919 --> 00:03:38,680
nightclub hanger on was doing. Hair
I told you I knew him when I

31
00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:42,680
was singing at the Gilded Lily.
After all, Dear, all night club

32
00:03:42,719 --> 00:03:47,400
people are shady. I was one
before you married me. Oh, Jim,

33
00:03:47,719 --> 00:03:53,479
Jim, I'm so miserable, so
frightened, darling. I'm sorry,

34
00:03:54,120 --> 00:04:00,360
Jim. You're quite right. Billy
Kellum is a dreadful creature. I thought

35
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,800
i'd gotten rid of his kind long
ago, but suddenly last month he turned

36
00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:08,840
up here at the apartment. He's
been telephoning me, he hasn't been following

37
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,759
me on the street, and I
don't know what to do about it.

38
00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:16,079
I really think the man is mad. I suppose he's been making love to

39
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:21,439
you. Yes, yes he had. He was a horrible nuisance in the

40
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,199
old days, and now it's unbearable. Holly, why didn't you tell me

41
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,240
before? I was afraid too,
But I really think Billy is mad.

42
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,600
I cannot get rid of him.
You won't have to get rid of him,

43
00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:46,199
that's my job. Now. Many
hours later, we find mister Camellion,

44
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,839
the famous detective, the man of
many disguises in his own attractive home.

45
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:57,360
But mister Cameleon is doing something most
unusual for him. At eleven o'clock

46
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,600
at night. He is in his
bed and sleeping soundly, but not for

47
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:09,399
long, for the telephone beside him
shrills out, Hello, Hello, Chameleon,

48
00:05:10,079 --> 00:05:13,600
commissioner. Oh no, no,
no, not you. This is

49
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:16,199
the first night in two months I've
gotten to bed before midnight. Sorry,

50
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,480
Chameleon, but I've got a nice
little job for you. Never hear of

51
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,519
Jim Towers, the Oklahoma oil man
who hasn't heard of him? A few

52
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:29,160
years ago he married that lovely girl
who is such a nightclub sensation, Polly

53
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:34,040
Newell. Right about Jim towz hell
is a man named Billy Kellum mean the

54
00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:39,480
nightclub press agent. That's right.
Billy Kellum was found shot to death in

55
00:05:39,519 --> 00:05:43,519
the parking space back of the Kilded
Lily. Who shot him? We don't

56
00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:46,519
know, That's why I'm calling you, chameleon. But less than an hour

57
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,639
earlier, Jim Towers was looking for
him, flourishing a gun and threatening to

58
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,439
kill killum. Ah, wow,
were you, chameleon? I take Detective

59
00:05:55,439 --> 00:05:59,240
Sergeant Dave Arnold and get over to
Jim towers apartment immediately. I'll be over

60
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:09,759
there in three minutes. Mister Comedion, It's unthinkable that my husband would kill

61
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:13,879
anyone. Jim Towers is the sweetest
man in the world. Everyone will tell

62
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,959
you that. Quite a few already
have told me that Missus Tars, one

63
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,439
of your husband's friends, and the
doormen of this apartment has They agreed that

64
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:26,079
Jim Towers is a wonderful guy with
a terrible temper. But even saw mister

65
00:06:26,079 --> 00:06:30,319
commed Billy Kellum was murdered about ten
o'clock. Well was your husband at that

66
00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:34,160
time? He was out here.
He stayed downtown on business. He isn't

67
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:40,199
back yet. Well, no,
yes, yes. He came in about

68
00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:44,319
eleven and said he didn't feel well. He went to his room. But

69
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,920
but what Missus Tars. He went
out again. He said he was too

70
00:06:48,959 --> 00:06:54,399
restless to sleep, said he wanted
to take a walk. He'll be back

71
00:06:54,519 --> 00:06:57,839
any minute. What did he have
against the murdered man, Billy Kellum?

72
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:03,079
Oh nothing? Why was he looking
for him and waving a gun in several

73
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:08,639
night spots earlier this evening? Well, Billy Kellum used to be my presaged

74
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,120
when I was a nightclub singer.
But Jim couldn't have threatened him. He

75
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,879
had no reason to. Missus Tars, you are lying to protect your husband.

76
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,240
Dave, yes, bring him,
missus Tar's maid. Please. What

77
00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:24,560
does Ada have to do with it? Ada? How missus Towers? They

78
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,399
asked me, and I have to
tell him. I told him. I

79
00:07:27,439 --> 00:07:31,360
heard mister Towers saying that that he'd
kill mister Killum because mister Kellum was bothering

80
00:07:31,439 --> 00:07:34,000
you. But you didn't even know
about him. Oh, yes she did.

81
00:07:34,079 --> 00:07:38,360
The door was out into the kitchen. I couldn't help hearing you were

82
00:07:38,399 --> 00:07:43,000
eavesdropping. I heard it, Missus
Towers. I couldn't help hearing. Thank

83
00:07:43,079 --> 00:07:45,120
you, Ada, Dave keep an
eye on up, please, will you?

84
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,360
I am right, missus Tars,
I've got to search your husband's room.

85
00:07:49,079 --> 00:07:54,240
What for, mister Klian? Why
should you search Jim's room? You

86
00:07:54,279 --> 00:07:57,240
won't find anything in here. Nevertheless, I would like to search it.

87
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,319
This is the clothes pleasant, mister
comedian. My husband hasn't committed any crime.

88
00:08:03,839 --> 00:08:05,439
I love him, I know him. He couldn't be guilty of murder.

89
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:11,959
What's this sort of shoe box?
Mister comedian? Listen to me if

90
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,920
Jim was jealous and hot tip,
but it was only because he loved me

91
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:20,600
so much. You must believe me. There's Tars. Is this your husband's

92
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:28,879
gun? Yes, I guess so. Holly. Oh, here's Jim,

93
00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:35,559
now, Holly, I just good. Who's this Jim? Who's this man?

94
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,320
My name is Comedian, mister Tars. I'm a detective from Central Headquarters.

95
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,480
Detective, you're the famous chameleon.
What are you doing here? What

96
00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:48,639
are you doing with my gun?
Jim? Jim, Billy Callum has been

97
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:52,080
murdered. Murdered, yes, mister
Tars. And the bullet that killed him

98
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,039
came from a cold forty five like
this gun of yours. I see that

99
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:01,440
as one cartridge missing. Jim.
He thinks you killed Billy Kellum. I

100
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,480
didn't kill him, mister comedian.
I didn't even see Billy tonight, Polly.

101
00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:09,360
I'm innocent. You must believe me. I'm innocent. I repeat.

102
00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:11,960
The bullet that killed Kellum was from
a forty five Colt, a popular weapon

103
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,200
in Oklahoma. I'm told in you, mister Towers, come from Oklahoma.

104
00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:20,279
The whole picture doesn't look very good
for you. I tell you I didn't

105
00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:22,679
do it. It remains to be
seen, mister Tars. For your sake,

106
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,639
I hope you didn't do it anyway, Detective Sergeant Donald, and I

107
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:31,039
will see you and missus Towers later. Dave, come along, let's be

108
00:09:31,039 --> 00:09:33,679
on our way, right, mister
Commeleion, good night, good night,

109
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:43,200
good night, Dave. What do
you think about this affair? Oh?

110
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,320
It looks like Jim Towers did it
all right, It's too bad. The

111
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:50,000
wife of his Polly is sure a
peach, mister Comellion. If I could

112
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,600
find a girl like that, I'd
get married tomorrow before she managed Jim tarrs

113
00:09:54,639 --> 00:09:58,000
She was a nightclub singer, the
toast of the town. Sure a tough

114
00:09:58,039 --> 00:10:01,679
break for the kid. But you
said to Towars was right though, mister

115
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,799
Comedion, The case certainly looks black
for him, black, you say,

116
00:10:05,879 --> 00:10:11,120
Dame, Well, that gives me
an idea. First thing tomorrow, I

117
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:28,000
am going to question some of the
murdered man's friends, and mister Comeleon does

118
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,720
find the murdered man's girlfriend. We
hear him say so, Daisy, o'mello,

119
00:10:31,799 --> 00:10:35,000
you were Billy Keillum's girlfriend. Em
listen, mister comedian, you're a

120
00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:39,240
smart cop. I know lots of
guys that are scared to death of you.

121
00:10:39,879 --> 00:10:41,639
Maybe they're right, But what the
devil makes you think? I was

122
00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:48,480
Billy Kellum's girl, weren't you?
Miss o'mellan call me Daisy Dandy, Daisy

123
00:10:48,519 --> 00:10:52,799
the dancing doll. And I had
a dyn sight better act than Polly Towers

124
00:10:52,799 --> 00:10:56,000
did too. She just stood there, looking pretty and chirping a few high

125
00:10:56,039 --> 00:10:58,879
notes, and what happens? She
married Jim Towers, a millionaire Oklahoma.

126
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,159
So you're jealous of Polytwers. I
was not jealous of her. She may

127
00:11:03,159 --> 00:11:05,600
have got Jim Towers, but I
had Billy Killum and that was good enough.

128
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,000
Oh that's all right, Daisy.
I was pretty sure you were Billy's

129
00:11:11,039 --> 00:11:15,399
girl. Did you kill him?
Huh? He was shot in the dark

130
00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:18,320
in a parking lot back of that
nightclub, the Gilded Lily. No one

131
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:24,639
saw it happen. It might have
been anyone, even you, mister chameleon

132
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,759
of Younu. You were jealous of
poly Towers and Billy Killim was still in

133
00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:31,159
love with him, in love with
her. He couldn't stand Polly Towers,

134
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,759
he told me he couldn't stand Is
that why he was always bothering him,

135
00:11:33,919 --> 00:11:37,080
always trying to say him he had
to see her. He was shaking her

136
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,399
down for something. Yes, he
was. He had something on Polly Towers.

137
00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:43,879
I don't know what it was,
but he was trying to get money

138
00:11:43,919 --> 00:11:48,919
out of her. Daisy, you're
kidding yourself. What could he have on

139
00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:52,279
her? The lovely Polly, the
lovely missus Jim Towers. I don't know,

140
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:58,200
mister comedian, but but maybe it
had something to do with Jack who

141
00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:01,879
Jack Burton, serious type guy was
crazy in love with Polly. You mean

142
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,039
Jack Burton, a newspaper man.
Yeah. Sure, Why don't you look

143
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,240
him up instead of pastor and me
trying to make me think my Billy wasn't

144
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,960
in love with me. You may
have an idea there, Daisy. I

145
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:26,039
think I look in on Jack Burton
and have a little chat. My name

146
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,720
is Chameleon and this is Detective Sergeant
Nonal Camellion, the famous detective. Sure,

147
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,679
I know you. You're famous for
disguises. You must read the newspapers

148
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,919
you work for, mister Burton.
I understand you're a rewrite man. That's

149
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,799
right. We're here in connection with
the murder of Billy Kellum. Want to

150
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:45,279
talk to you about polytars Polly.
That's right. I've been told you're in

151
00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:50,000
love with polytars Well, mister Camellion, I'm not in the habit of discussing

152
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,720
my emotions with a police or anyone
else. This is a case of murder,

153
00:12:52,759 --> 00:12:56,879
mister Burton. Polly's husband, Jim
Towers is being held for the shooting

154
00:12:56,919 --> 00:13:00,679
of Billy Kellum. I know that. Would you be pleased if Jim Towers

155
00:13:00,759 --> 00:13:03,600
were out of the picture. If
Jim Towers were convicted, that would leave

156
00:13:03,639 --> 00:13:07,279
the field open for you with Polly, wouldn't it. Just what do you

157
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,360
think? I am a man who's
in love with a very lovely girl.

158
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,679
Yes, Polly Towers is lovely and
fine and good. But what could I

159
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:20,559
give? Nothing at all? But
let me tell you something. I'm glad

160
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,279
that Billy Kellum is dead. I'd
be glad to kill anyone who tried to

161
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,000
hurt Polly. Oh you would?
Huh? Did you hear that, mister

162
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,600
Communion? I did, Dave,
But that doesn't mean I did. And

163
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,519
now excuse me. The paper's almost
ready to go to press. And don't

164
00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:37,600
worry, chameleon. I'll be right
here in this newspaper office in case you

165
00:13:37,639 --> 00:13:43,679
want me. Goodbye, So mister
Comellion, This guy, Jack Burton,

166
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,639
I'd be willing to kill anyone who
tried to hurt Polly Towers, so he

167
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:52,279
says. And Dave, did it
all look quite so simple? Now,

168
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,840
simple, mister Comellion, There are
wheels within wheels within wheeds, exactly.

169
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:01,159
I have a feeling before this mystery
of Billy Kellum's is finally solved, it

170
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,799
may be the strangest I've ever handled, and in its way, one of

171
00:14:05,919 --> 00:14:20,200
the most horrible. Mister Chameleon's strangest
murder case continues in just a moment.

172
00:14:20,799 --> 00:14:24,440
When you're suffering from an ordinary headache, neurotic or neualgic pain, you want

173
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,799
two things. First, you want
something that will give you fast relief,

174
00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:31,759
and second, you want something it
will give you dependable relief. So listen.

175
00:14:33,759 --> 00:14:35,840
People everywhere know that, because it's
actually ready to go to work in

176
00:14:35,879 --> 00:14:41,519
two seconds, Bayer aspirin provides fast
relief, and they know that because it's

177
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,840
gentle to the system, it also
provides dependable relief. The fact is that

178
00:14:45,919 --> 00:14:50,600
Bayer aspirin has been used by millions
of normal people without ill effect, a

179
00:14:50,679 --> 00:14:54,799
record no other pain reliever can match, and that means that of all pain

180
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,600
relievers. Bayer Aspirin is one you
can take with complete confidence. So when

181
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:03,080
you have a headache, don't experiment
with drugs that have not been proved by

182
00:15:03,159 --> 00:15:07,120
years of successful use for the two
most important kinds of relief, the fast

183
00:15:07,159 --> 00:15:11,919
relief you want and the dependable relief
you need. Do as millions do.

184
00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:16,799
Be sure with Bayer aspirin. When
you buy, ask for it by its

185
00:15:16,799 --> 00:15:20,759
full name, Bayer Aspirin, not
just for aspirin alone. Get the one

186
00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:24,360
hundred tablet bottle, and you get
Bayer Aspirin tablets for less than a penny

187
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:35,519
apiece. And now back to mister
CAMELEON's strangest murder case. It is some

188
00:15:35,639 --> 00:15:39,559
time later and in the office of
the Commissioner of Police. The Commissioner is

189
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:45,399
frowning intently at Chameleon, and Detective
Sergeant Dave Arnold, too, looks puzzled

190
00:15:45,399 --> 00:15:48,519
and disturbed as he says, what
do you expect to accomplish? Mister Chameleon.

191
00:15:48,679 --> 00:15:54,399
Hasn't Polytars gone through enough without putting
her through more unpleasantness and trouble?

192
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,200
Dave, her husband is being held
for murder. Circumstantial evidence is all against

193
00:15:58,279 --> 00:16:02,360
him. The maid's test Simone is
looking for Kellum that night of the murder,

194
00:16:02,519 --> 00:16:04,559
like the fatal bullet came from a
forty five, like his, only

195
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,639
it might not have been his gun. Chameleon O. Ballistics experts can't say

196
00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:11,679
positively, Well that's it, Commissioner. That are other forty five's, plenty

197
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,919
of them. No one saw the
actual shooting. Might have been Jack Burton,

198
00:16:15,919 --> 00:16:19,600
It might have been Daisy O'Malley.
Who knows, But I intend to

199
00:16:19,679 --> 00:16:25,120
find out. But what will we
gain by hounding poly Towers? Why Dave

200
00:16:25,679 --> 00:16:30,960
I didn't realize Sir galahad to join
the police force. Oh me listen,

201
00:16:30,039 --> 00:16:34,759
I'm as hard as nails. Yes, yes, Billy Kellum's killer is as

202
00:16:34,759 --> 00:16:40,000
hard as nails too, but really
hard. And Dave I propose that we

203
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,480
get them. So why I am
going to pose as Billy Kellum's partner partner

204
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,159
in blackmailing? Blackmailing? You're going
to go in disguise and pose as a

205
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,159
blackmailer, that's the idea. Dave
and Daisy O'Malley say that the murdered man,

206
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,320
Billy Kellum might have been blackmailing Polly
Towers about Jack Burton. Yeah,

207
00:16:56,399 --> 00:16:59,360
yeah, so she did. In
my disguise as a blackmailer. I'll take

208
00:16:59,399 --> 00:17:03,640
the name of the lul Ludovic,
one of those creatures who crawl out of

209
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,960
the woodwork. Do you think that
poly Towers will turn to Jack Burton when

210
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,000
you start your blackmail act, Honor, Yes, possibly, her husband is

211
00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:15,400
jail. She has no one else
to turn to. Also, I'll see

212
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,920
to it the daisy o'melly finds out
that this Ludovic's making the rounds, claiming

213
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,720
he has absolute evidence against the killer. So that's your game. Mm hmm,

214
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,279
that's my game, Commissioner. That's
what I'll tell Polly Towers when I

215
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,039
manage to get in to see it
as lu Ludovic, which may take quite

216
00:17:30,039 --> 00:17:40,880
a lot of time. Also,
I hope will lead me somewhere. And

217
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,599
mister Chameleon is quite right. It
does take a lot of time for the

218
00:17:44,599 --> 00:17:48,960
oily lu Ludovic to get to see
missus Polly Towers. But we find Chameleon

219
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,599
now in his disguise as Lu Ludovic, slick back hair, pin striped suit,

220
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:00,359
gray fedora hat, saying to Polly's
made Ada, please tell missus Towers

221
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,880
that mister Ludovic is here. I'm
sure she will see me well, I

222
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,960
know she won't. And if you
don't stop bothering us, we'll call the

223
00:18:07,039 --> 00:18:11,039
police. The police. I do
not fear the police. I am here

224
00:18:11,079 --> 00:18:15,160
as a friend you, oh,
no friend of Missus Towers. Or she

225
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,319
says she never heard of you.
She has heard of Billy Kellum, and

226
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,599
you're just as bad as he was. You act just like he did.

227
00:18:22,079 --> 00:18:26,519
Billy was persistent, So my Missus
Towers might better see me and get it

228
00:18:26,599 --> 00:18:32,160
over with you. Missus Towers has
had enough trouble. It's all right,

229
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,440
Ada, let him in. Maybe
he's right. I might just as well

230
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,960
see him and get it over with
Missus Towers. This is a great pleasure.

231
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,279
I have long wanted to meet you. I am sure Billy Kellum spoke

232
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,160
of me. You're mistaken. He
never mentioned you. Come into the living

233
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,759
room, Ada, you can go, yes, Missus Towers, but if

234
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:57,039
you need me, I'm not afraid. And please close the kitchen door,

235
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:03,319
yes, ma'am. Now, mister
Ludovic, what can I do for you?

236
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,920
As uh Daisy O'Malley would say,
uh, please call me lou Though

237
00:19:10,319 --> 00:19:14,079
Daisy would say please call me Daisy, wouldn't she? Who is Daisy o'melly?

238
00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:17,519
What has she got to do with
this. She was a friend of

239
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,440
Billy Kellum's too, just as I
am. Missus Towers now admit that he

240
00:19:22,519 --> 00:19:26,759
must have mentioned me. I don't
think you quite understand. Mister Kellum never

241
00:19:26,799 --> 00:19:33,119
discussed any one. He made my
life miserable with his personal interest in me.

242
00:19:33,559 --> 00:19:37,720
Who can blame him? You're even
more beautiful than he said. But

243
00:19:37,799 --> 00:19:41,279
he never spoke of you, Mister
Ludovic, never, at any time,

244
00:19:41,559 --> 00:19:45,519
he did not tell you I was
his partner, his partner in his er

245
00:19:47,319 --> 00:19:51,680
blackmailing activities. There was I who
got the goods on you and Jack Burton

246
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,599
blackmail? Are you crazy? Billy
never blackmailed me and Jack Burton? White

247
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,599
Jack and I were simply good friends. How could you get the goods on

248
00:20:00,759 --> 00:20:04,960
us? I don't know what you
mean, don't you, Missus Towers.

249
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,920
No, Billy never blackmailed me.
He thought he was in love with me.

250
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,799
That was all. Is it possible
that I could be mistaken? You

251
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,559
certainly are mistaken, And now,
mister Ludovic get out of my house very

252
00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:23,599
well. I'm mistaken. It was
a shot in the dark. But Missus

253
00:20:23,599 --> 00:20:27,799
Towers, I am not mistaken when
I say I have evidence that will convict

254
00:20:27,799 --> 00:20:36,279
Billy Callum's murderer. You mean you
have evidence against my husband? Try your

255
00:20:36,279 --> 00:20:40,880
own conclusions. No, I don't
believe you. This is a trick of

256
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:45,200
some kind. You couldn't have evidence. You couldn't possibly do you wish to

257
00:20:45,279 --> 00:20:52,240
take a chance on that? Do
you, Missus Towers? What is the

258
00:20:52,279 --> 00:20:57,359
evidence you think? I am Santa
Claus. It will cost you a thousand

259
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:02,559
dollars to know, and for me
keep my mouth shut. I don't believe

260
00:21:02,599 --> 00:21:07,000
you. I wouldn't take a chance
on that. In fact, if I

261
00:21:07,039 --> 00:21:11,160
were you, I would bring eight
thousand dollars to my rooming house down on

262
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,920
Sullivan Street. I will give you
the number you simply walk in. My

263
00:21:15,039 --> 00:21:21,240
room is on the ground floor they
first started right. I would be there

264
00:21:21,319 --> 00:21:38,119
the night at eight o'clock if I
were you, Missus Dowers. This is

265
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,039
a charming little rat hole, mister
chameleon. Yes, Dave, just the

266
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,920
kind of place where Luladovic would conduct
his business. He live at a swanky

267
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,799
uptown hotel. I'm shore, but
this is the sort of hole where he'd

268
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,519
blackmail helpless women. Dave, I
expect to tramp to kill her the night

269
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,599
to tell the landlady. We want
known to the service for a while,

270
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,519
and I paid her plenty, and
the poor guy who really rentsless too.

271
00:22:00,519 --> 00:22:03,400
Mister Comillion, are you really going
to stand with your back to the window

272
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,039
so someone from the street could take
a shot at you. I've got to

273
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,839
day. Well, at least a
couple of plane clothesmen outside. I'll grab

274
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,559
them quick. And I'm not worrying. Well, you should be a shot

275
00:22:14,559 --> 00:22:15,920
in the back. I'm not worrying. Just you get behind that curtain when

276
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:25,240
she comes, if she comes,
no if about it. My friend who's

277
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:33,039
there, mister Ladovic, okay,
Dave behind the curtain is that you Missus

278
00:22:33,079 --> 00:22:44,319
Towers. Yes, will come in. Welcome to my humble aboard Missus Towers

279
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,359
a poor thing, but mine own. As your mister Shakespeare would say,

280
00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:52,359
mister Ludovik, you uh still will
not call me loose, Mister Ludovic,

281
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,240
I only came here to tell you
I don't believe you. You have no

282
00:22:56,279 --> 00:23:02,400
evidence that Jim, that my husband
and murdered Billy Kellum. I have evidence

283
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:07,119
which will convict the killer, Missus
Towers. Will you pardon me for not

284
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,920
turning on more light? My dear, this shade is broken, and I

285
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,559
feel better without too much light on
mister Ludovic, you're lying, you have

286
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:17,920
no evidence. I know you're kind. The Gilded Lily where I once worked

287
00:23:18,039 --> 00:23:22,079
was crawling with them. That's why
it was so wonderful to get out of

288
00:23:22,079 --> 00:23:25,400
that awful atmosphere. Come to that
point, please, I have the evidence.

289
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,720
Give me a thousand dollars. I
know you brought it with you.

290
00:23:29,759 --> 00:23:33,720
No, no, I didn't,
of course you did. What's a thousand

291
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,079
dollars to you? Missus Polly Towers? Jim Towers is very, very rich

292
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:44,359
man. Give me the money,
all right. I couldn't take the chance.

293
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,720
Though I still don't believe you have
any evidence. Give me the money.

294
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,000
The only thing is, mister Adobe, this won't be the end.

295
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:57,200
If I give you this, you'll
keep on asking me for more. Missus

296
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:04,079
Towers, you will have to take
a chance on that tool the money place.

297
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,640
I have it here in my purse. What's the manday, mister?

298
00:24:08,799 --> 00:24:14,039
Do there's someone outside on the street
watching us through the window. Yes,

299
00:24:14,079 --> 00:24:17,200
there is. They're standing quite close
to the window. Is it a man

300
00:24:17,279 --> 00:24:19,880
or a woman? Why don't you
look for yourself? They have a gun.

301
00:24:21,039 --> 00:24:22,480
They're raising it to shoot that they're
gonna kill you. Tell me,

302
00:24:22,839 --> 00:24:27,039
yes, you cheap blackmailer. Only
I'm the one that's gonna kill you.

303
00:24:30,039 --> 00:24:33,119
Did you think tonight rarely turn my
back on you, poly Towers? Do

304
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,160
you think I wasn't prepared to have
you pull a knife on me or shoot

305
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:41,400
me in the back. A knife
was smarter this time. God, you're

306
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,559
not Lula Dovic, You're mister Kami. Quite right, Missus Tars, and

307
00:24:45,599 --> 00:24:49,480
I'm arresting you for the murder of
Billy Kellum. Dave, don't tell me

308
00:24:49,519 --> 00:24:53,359
it's Missus tarrs frightfully sorry, solution
you, Dave. I couldn't bear to

309
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,119
do it till the last minute,
but I kind of need help to get

310
00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:07,680
this little wildcat down of a cell
and central head barter. So now,

311
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,039
mister Burton, mister Camellion, I
wanted you present during our little talk with

312
00:25:11,079 --> 00:25:14,359
Polytars. I want you to understand
what sort of a woman you've been involved

313
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,920
with and how easily you yourself could
have been charged with being an accomplished a

314
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,880
murder. What Jack, don't listen
to him. If I pulled a knife

315
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:25,160
on Commedian, it's because I thought
he was a dreadful creature like Billy Kellum.

316
00:25:25,279 --> 00:25:27,839
Now, missus Tars, you worked
out a clever plot for the killing

317
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,440
of two men you wanted out of
your life and not listened to it.

318
00:25:30,519 --> 00:25:33,799
First you murdered the blackmailer, Billy
Kellum, and then you're tried to have

319
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,119
your husband pay the death penalty for
a murder that you committed. I didn't

320
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,319
You planted your husband's gun, the
gun you used to kill Kellum, where

321
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,880
I couldn't fail to find it in
your husband's room, and you left the

322
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:51,519
kitchen door open so that your maid
Aida couldn't fail to hear your husband's threats

323
00:25:51,519 --> 00:25:55,000
against Billy Kellum. That's a lie, and you knew that maid would tell

324
00:25:55,039 --> 00:25:57,680
me and I'd be hot on the
trail of your husband with deadly evidence against

325
00:25:57,759 --> 00:26:03,440
him dream on commit. But what
you didn't know was that the domen of

326
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,079
your building told me that you left
and returned to the building and exactly the

327
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,240
time you needed to kill Billy Kellum. He was murdered about ten fifteen,

328
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:17,200
that is when you were out.
I had no reason to murder Billy Killum.

329
00:26:17,799 --> 00:26:19,440
My husband was jealous of him.
I say, there it is.

330
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,400
You're trying to plant it on your
husband again. Now I'll tell you why

331
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,279
you killed Billy Kellum. Polly.
You've been paying him hush money for months.

332
00:26:27,799 --> 00:26:32,160
Your bank has a record of the
checks, and I have the canceled

333
00:26:32,279 --> 00:26:37,119
checks, five hundred dollars every month. This was your way to silence the

334
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,279
blackmailing Killum, your way to get
rid of your husband so that you could

335
00:26:41,319 --> 00:26:44,160
marry Jack Burton. Here, listen, Camelle, and I've had nothing to

336
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,160
do with it. You've been seeing
her without her husband's knowledge, haven't you.

337
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,759
Burton. Yes, I loved it, and I love you Jack in

338
00:26:49,799 --> 00:26:53,160
all my life. You're the only
person I've ever loved. But I couldn't

339
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,440
live on your salary. You know
that I needed Jim's money, Paul.

340
00:26:56,519 --> 00:27:00,319
With Jim out of the way,
we could both use his money for you

341
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:06,920
as well as myself for both Officer
Jack. Jack. Look at me,

342
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,319
Polly, I can't believe this,
that you did as she did Burton and

343
00:27:11,319 --> 00:27:17,039
supplied me with one of the strangest
murder cases of my career. An extraordinary

344
00:27:17,039 --> 00:27:19,640
way to get rid of her husband. She killed Kellum and then expected the

345
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:26,359
state to kill her husband for her
a diabolical pattern and criminal psychologist. Jack

346
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,480
Jack, take me out of here. Nobody will ever take you out of

347
00:27:29,519 --> 00:27:32,960
here. Polly Dave lead this woman
to her cell place. Come along,

348
00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:41,319
mister Jack. Yeah. I hope, Chameleon, that you're really convinced,

349
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,960
I knew nothing of this terrible thing. If I weren't Burton, you would

350
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,200
be out of luck. You see
that motto of my desk. Read it

351
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,960
you'll know why both you and Jim
Towers walk out of here free men.

352
00:27:55,240 --> 00:28:02,720
I see the innocent must be protected, guilty must be punished. And I

353
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:22,599
don't mind telling you Burton that all
my sympathies are with Jim Towers. And

354
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:41,000
with these words, mister Chameleon concludes
tonight's murder case. One reason why millions

355
00:28:41,119 --> 00:28:45,359
use Bayer aspirin to relieve ordinary headaches
is that Bayer aspirin means amazingly fast relief,

356
00:28:47,119 --> 00:28:49,400
and its astonishing ability to be ready
to go to work in two seconds

357
00:28:49,519 --> 00:28:53,200
is something you can prove right in
your own home. To find out how

358
00:28:53,279 --> 00:28:56,359
quickly byar aspirin is ready to go
to work, all you need to do

359
00:28:56,559 --> 00:29:02,119
is clock its disintegrating speed. Simply
drop the tablet in a glass of water.

360
00:29:02,759 --> 00:29:06,240
What happens in the glass happens in
your stomach, and as you will

361
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,640
see with your own eyes, when
you make this test, Bayer aspirin starts

362
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:15,640
disintegrating almost instantly. And this two
second action is why Bayer aspirin bring you

363
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,240
such quick pain relief. So to
relieve a headache fast, use something you

364
00:29:19,279 --> 00:29:25,680
can actually prove works with remarkable speed, genuine Bayer aspirin. And when you

365
00:29:25,759 --> 00:29:29,720
buy, ask for it by a
name Bayer Aspirin, not just for aspirin

366
00:29:29,759 --> 00:29:33,920
alone. Get the one hundred tablet
bottle, and you get Bayer Aspirin tablets

367
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:52,960
for less than a penny apiece.
Listen next Wednesday night at the same time

368
00:29:52,119 --> 00:29:59,160
for mister Camellion, the man of
many faces in the Woman's Weapon murder Case.

369
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,960
The part of mister Cameleon is played
by Carl Swenson, with dialogue primary

370
00:30:04,079 --> 00:30:10,400
Baumer from the original story by Frank
and Anne Hummert music directed by Victor Arden.

371
00:30:11,039 --> 00:30:22,680
Your announcer is Howard Cleaning. After
years of work, a revolutionary new

372
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:27,119
toothpaste has been developed, called Lion's
Toothpaste. By actual laboratory test on scores

373
00:30:27,119 --> 00:30:30,400
of individual teeth, it gets teeth
two and a half to five and a

374
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:36,119
half times brighter than any of the
five leading brands, brighter by far than

375
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:41,440
any other toothpaste. New Lion's Toothpaste
does this because it's a new kind of

376
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:47,319
toothpaste with a formula that's completely new
and radically different. A remarkable toothpaste that

377
00:30:47,400 --> 00:31:00,200
cleans without soap and polishes without chalk. Try it. Ask for Lion's Toothpaste.

378
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:07,720
Listen for mister Comeleon in The Woman's
Weapon Murder Case next Wednesday night.

379
00:31:07,759 --> 00:31:30,079
At this time, this is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System, Welcome back.

380
00:31:32,079 --> 00:31:36,960
Maybe this should have been called mister
Chameleon's most bog standard murder Case.

381
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,319
I mean, even in the nineteen
forties, framing your husband so that he

382
00:31:41,359 --> 00:31:48,680
gets convicted and you get his money
is pretty standard for a detective story.

383
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,319
It really didn't live up to its
billing. And then there's a reference to

384
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,680
the motto. And yes, I
know I go on about it, but

385
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:01,519
it's one of those things I don't
recall at being mentioned, certainly, you

386
00:32:01,519 --> 00:32:06,200
know, not in nineteen fifty and
I don't think in the fall nineteen forty

387
00:32:06,279 --> 00:32:13,119
nine episodes that are in circulation,
because it's one of those things that if

388
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:19,079
it existed, it would have a
really embarrassing origin story. It would go

389
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,680
something like this, Hey, camelean
got a moment, Sure, Commissioner,

390
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:29,039
I need to talk to you about
the arrest of Mary Brandeis. Yes,

391
00:32:29,759 --> 00:32:32,640
well, she was in Wisconsin at
the time of the murder with eight US

392
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:37,839
senators and there's a photograph taken at
the time showing that she was in her

393
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:45,000
wheelchair at the state capitol. Yeah, and well, and since she's innocent,

394
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:50,160
she has to be punished. Oh
no, I did it again.

395
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,119
I got it wrong. Yeah,
well, we've got it covered. Her

396
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:59,720
lawyers aren't gonna ask for much,
but we've gotta stop doing this, I

397
00:32:59,799 --> 00:33:04,960
said Officer Dave Arnold to arrest Muggsy
Wilson, and then Camellons said, wait,

398
00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:07,519
the ballistics showed the bullet matched his
gun, and he did it in

399
00:33:07,519 --> 00:33:13,759
front of a dozen witnesses. He
was obviously guilty and therefore needed to be

400
00:33:13,839 --> 00:33:17,240
protected. And the commissioners are shaken
and said, uh, you know,

401
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,880
I'm doubting you as a college man. No, I'm smart. I just

402
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,079
have trouble keeping this straight. And
then we have the brainstorm. Why don't

403
00:33:25,119 --> 00:33:30,799
you make a reminder to yourself make
it a model and put it on a

404
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:36,279
sign on the wall. The innocent
must be protected and the guilty must be

405
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:40,559
punished. And CAMELEON's eyes get wise. You're a genius. I'll hang it

406
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,759
up on my wall. If I
stare at it for hours on end,

407
00:33:44,839 --> 00:33:47,920
there's no way I'll get mixed up. I'll also tell everyone about my motto.

408
00:33:50,039 --> 00:33:52,599
I guess you can do that,
but it might make them wonder why

409
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:57,960
you need reminded that it'll never happen
well, and that, I imagine is

410
00:33:58,039 --> 00:34:02,079
how Cameleon got his motto. All
right, listener comments and feedback now and

411
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:08,760
Leonard as a comment regarding the Mister
Cameleon episode The Case of Death and the

412
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:14,320
Blue Parrot, and he writes,
the Blue Parrot is the name of the

413
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:21,119
cafe owned and run by Senor Ferrari
in the movie Casablanca. Well, thanks

414
00:34:21,119 --> 00:34:25,800
so much for the comment. There
was something about the name that sounded vaguely

415
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:30,239
familiar, but I couldn't place it
right off. And likely that's just a

416
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:37,679
case of someone having seen the movie
and the name just being in their head,

417
00:34:37,039 --> 00:34:42,920
betther than any attempt to rip off
Casa Blanca. Because say what you

418
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,880
want about the case of Death and
the Blue Parrot. It didn't really a

419
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:52,760
vote Casablanca in any other way,
but still that that's an interested reference all

420
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:59,800
the same. And then we have
a question from Richard regarding a program ever

421
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:07,239
on Stars in the Air. Richard
writes one of the radio commercials towards the

422
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:12,360
end of that show reference to series
called City Hospital. I've never heard of

423
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,800
it and can't find any episodes available. Have you ever heard any episodes of

424
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:22,039
that show? Well, thanks for
the question. Now, there do appear

425
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:28,840
to be a couple of episodes available
on radio echos dot com. From all

426
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,360
reports, it appears to be a
bit of a medical melodrama, and it's

427
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:37,840
got a bit of a complicated history. Now, I found that there was

428
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:45,639
a City Hospital radio program and a
City Hospital television program. The City Hospital

429
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:52,840
television program starred Melvin Ruick, and
there was a radio program that starred Santos

430
00:35:53,039 --> 00:36:01,159
Ortega and later Melvin Ruick. The
radio series began oversea. TV series began

431
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:07,239
over ABC and then moved over to
CBS. Now there does seem to be

432
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:13,639
some confusion as to which started first. I found one book that stated that

433
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:20,440
City Hospital was an example of a
program that began on television and went to

434
00:36:20,599 --> 00:36:25,760
radio. However, as best I
can find, I found a radio listing

435
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:34,000
for City Hospital from October of nineteen
fifty one, and according to Wikipedia,

436
00:36:34,119 --> 00:36:38,079
it didn't start airing on television tell
November of nineteen fifty one. Be that

437
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:44,440
as it may, Melville Ruwick heard
on the TV show and then he took

438
00:36:44,519 --> 00:36:49,320
over the radio show at least by
nineteen fifty four, and the series stayed

439
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,320
on the air till nineteen fifty eight. Again, there are only two episodes

440
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:59,000
in circulation. There are also some
South Radio episodes of City Hospital, but

441
00:36:59,079 --> 00:37:04,079
I'm not certain if that had any
relation to the American series, So thanks

442
00:37:04,119 --> 00:37:07,519
so much for the question. The
episodes that are out there are not in

443
00:37:07,599 --> 00:37:12,000
great shape. There are a couple
that I guess give a sample of the

444
00:37:12,079 --> 00:37:15,199
series. Well, now it's time
to thank our Patreon supporter of the day.
