That was the desk clerk on the phone. 102 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.279 He said two of mister Redman's friends were on their way up, but 103 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.120 he said he didn't know anybody in the just it. What do you make 104 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.759 of all this? Ruling them out as friends? They're probably hit a finish 105 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.039 the job they started somewhere else. You think there, What are we going 106 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.919 to do? You beat it downstairs and call Lieutenant Johnson, tell him exactly 107 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.080 what happened you.

Okay, those two men who went upstairs, did 120 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:22.320 they ask for mister Redmond by name? Well, no, not exactly. 121 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.600 Uh huh. They merely said they wanted the room number of the party of 122 00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:31.279 three that just went up in the elevator. You, the elderly gentleman and 123 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.120 the young lady. They said they were friends of yours. I see anything 124 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:39.039 wrong? Well did they see the registration card by any chance? But of 125 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.799 course I had to look up the room number. I don't keep everything in 126 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.879 my head. Okay, okay, Anyway, that old gentleman knew, whoever 127 00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:48.440 he is, should know better than to go out again in his condition. 128 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:50.879 Go on, what do you mean? Oh? Really? Now, you 129 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.039 don't have to bark at me, but a man at his age should certainly 130 00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.320 get over the night before, that is, before starting off on another Look, 131 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:00.600 Horace, do you know what you're talking about? Well? I certainly 132 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:03.559 saw him just a few minutes ago. His two friends had to hold him 133 00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:05.360 up, and the three of them went staggering out of the lobby together. 134 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:09.600 Maybe I can still catch up with him now, Really, you can't go 135 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.399 charging through our lobby like that, knocking people out of the way. Who 136 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:24.399 are you anyway? I saw you running out of the lobby. Had happens? 137 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.679 Well brace yourself, Brook, See those two guys took Redmond or Haskell 138 00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.559 or whoever he is for a walk and a ride. Are you talking about? 139 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:33.639 They did that while I was waiting for you to get that call through 140 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.440 the Johnson Get the impossible here, I know, I know, this seems 141 00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:41.960 to be our day for the impossible. The doorman saw three men come out 142 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.360 a few minutes ago, one of them a little under the weather. They 143 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:48.320 filed into a car and drove off. Oh you know, I'm kind of 144 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:50.240 glad the police would be taking over some here. Oh I'm afraid they're gonna 145 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.480 have to put up with me. What do you mean? Let's see when 146 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:56.279 a client of mine highest me to look after him, I stick with him 147 00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:07.440 dead or a line. We'll return to to Night's adventure of George Valentine in 148 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.919 just a moment. Did you ever stop to think that each time you buy 149 00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.559 motor oil for your car, you're making a mighty important decision. More times 150 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.720 than not, it's the choice of motor oil that makes a big difference in 151 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:26.960 engine performance and can actually mean dollars saved from excessive wear. Consider this fact 152 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:31.799 when you buy motor oil. Heavy duty RPM motor oil has consistently proven its 153 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:37.679 ability to reduce wear and greatly increase the time between major overhauls due to lubrication. 154 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:43.559 In addition, heavy duty RPM motor oil gives extra protection against gummy carbon, 155 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:48.120 acid and corrosion. So if you want to increase time between overhauls and 156 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:52.799 reduce repair bills, if you want top protection and performance from your car, 157 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.200 if buying the best brand of motor oil is important to you, then switch 158 00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:01.240 over now to heavy duty RPM motor oil. Next time you need oil, 159 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:07.120 ask for and make sure you get heavy duty RPM motor oil at independent Severn 160 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:11.919 gas stations and standard stations where they say and mean we take better care of 161 00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:24.639 your car. A gentle, gray haired man refuses to take off his top 162 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.679 coat. When he does, you make the startling discovery that he'd been shot, 163 00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:33.000 and afterwards, even more startling, his body is walked out of the 164 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:39.720 hotel room by two so called friends. Yes, these are the incredible ingredients 165 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.600 of a nightmare that happens in the full blade of noon. And even if 166 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:48.600 your name is George Valentine, you're afraid you might wake up screaming. The 167 00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:52.559 radiot is still in the bar, George, John. But why do you 168 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:54.759 want to talk to her and alone? Well, she did come in on 169 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.679 that bus with you and mister Redman. She just might know something. Meet 170 00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:16.279 your I here, Hello, Well, where did you come from? And 171 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:20.200 why didn't you get here soon? I take it you wouldn't scream if I 172 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:26.200 join you? How obvious can I be in a public place? You know? 173 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:30.559 You look like the kind of man who could provide a lot of excitement. 174 00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.480 Or by the way, what's the man's name, Valentine, George? 175 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.600 And what can you suggest for excitement? Depends how obvious I can be in 176 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:48.159 a public place. I like you, Valentine, George. You look like 177 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.240 the kind you let a girl walk on the outside. Oh, I see 178 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:54.519 in other words, a mug a bruising. You'll go for that time, 179 00:14:54.600 --> 00:15:01.399 don't you could? I what's the girl's name? William Jenny of the Journal, 180 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:03.480 Why, yeah, we're gonna have a little talk Williams. Jenny, 181 00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:07.080 you'll place an ad in your paper and then we'll get together in my office 182 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:20.519 tonight. Heart keep the change. I looked in all the papers, Jenny, 183 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:22.960 and there's not a word about mister Haskell's murder. Well, Claire, 184 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:28.519 that's not so strange. Homicide boys don't like to cry murder without the good 185 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:31.519 old corpus delecti. It's exhibit as we saw the corpus delecti. All right, 186 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.320 Jenny, But from that point on nothing makes sense. I know. 187 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:39.799 Let's assume, and there's no reason why we shouldn't. Those two men were 188 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.679 the ones who tried to kill Haskell or Redmond. What do they want with 189 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:46.759 his body? They must have had a good reason taking the chance they did, 190 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.000 two of them hustling out of the lobby in broad day. And we 191 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:52.159 find the answer to that, we'll be getting somewhere. I've got an off 192 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:56.879 the record statement from Lieutenant Johnson. The police are doing everything they can and 193 00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:02.960 arrest is expected momentarily. In short, they're getting nowhere fast. Yeah. 194 00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:07.279 I'm sorry. I couldn't be of any help, George. I'd even noticed 195 00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.399 the man in the bus. I know this is bad. You hadn't put 196 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:17.840 in the journal important. Anyone having knowledge of Philip Redman kindly contact George Valentine 197 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.879 addressed, phone number, etc. You sitting on something. You should have 198 00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:26.320 told the police. I told you you'd get your story when it breaks. 199 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:30.799 Besides, I'm just playing a hunch. Philip Redman was the name the old 200 00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:34.039 fellow gave me to register him at the hotel. Kind of fancy variation on 201 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:37.679 the usual Smith A. Jones. I don't know, Brooks. I think 202 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:40.639 he started to give the name we found in his wallet, Walter Haskell, 203 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:45.279 but then he said Redmond. Why shouldn't I use it? Now? Remember, 204 00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:48.200 Yeah, that's right, I do. He was almost defined about it. 205 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:51.679 And you figure that anybody knowing of Philip Redman can tell you about Walter 206 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:56.600 Haskell. Yeah, something like that. I know it's something. Yeah, 207 00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.279 but you ain't got that caught on that desk lamp quick. God, that's 208 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:04.440 better. We don't want any light. George, where are you? I'm 209 00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:07.960 here at the window. See anything? Yeah? Yeah, the other building 210 00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:11.680 and all the windows in the world to shoot from, Darling, be careful. 211 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:15.319 They can't see us. Now. It's a good thing that desk lamped 212 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:18.480 through your shadow off a little to the sun. Yeah, that bullet was 213 00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:22.400 meant for my curly little head. All right, Jenny, your paper can 214 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:27.839 have my testimony over ads that get results. Sure that irresponsible Nimrod out There 215 00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:32.440 was undoubted at least somebody having knowledge of Philip Redmond. Oh and you can't 216 00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:34.559 say you didn't get in touch with you. Nice pattern. But Oscar levant 217 00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:37.400 does it better. There's at least one part of this puzzle that's beginning to 218 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:42.000 make sense. They removed mister Haskell because they didn't want anybody to identify him 219 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:45.559 as Ribbon. Now how do you get that? Because Brooks see now that 220 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:48.200 they realize I know he was known as Redmond too, they're out to get 221 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:49.839 rid of me. That's something i'd worry about. Oh I worry all right, 222 00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:52.519 But I also found something for me to do. Yeah, I'm a 223 00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:56.000 test I'm going over to the Bristol I've got something to check with a desk 224 00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:11.400 clerk, something our friends might have overlooked, although I doubt it. You 225 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:18.519 two ladies stay by the entrance. I'll be right back, Yes, sir, 226 00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:22.799 good idy. Oh where's the other fellow who was on the desk today, 227 00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:27.680 Horace? He wasn't feeling very well one of the boys had taken home. 228 00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:33.880 Oh, I see kind of suddenly. Yes, I'm a friend of 229 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:37.359 his. He asked me to take his place. Well, I guess you 230 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.200 can help me, yes, sir, Well, I want to look through 231 00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:45.960 your registration cards for today. I don't know if I take my word for 232 00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:48.680 it. It's important. If you don't believe me, you can ask the 233 00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:56.000 police. I guess it's all right here. They're just feel okay. Thanks, 234 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.480 find what you want? No, no, I didn't, But don't 235 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:07.799 take it to high friend. I didn't expect to so long. And thanks 236 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:17.319 again. Don't mention it well, George to find I was right. They 237 00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:21.640 didn't know what look a thing not there? Uh No, anybody investigating would 238 00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:25.200 never find out by the records that a man named Philip Redmond registered here today. 239 00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:27.960 I don't think there's much stubt what this means. I think I know 240 00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:32.000 what you mean, and I don't like it. Those two walked out of 241 00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.519 here with our friend today because they didn't want anybody to know his real identity. 242 00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:38.880 Somehow they lifted the registration card to make sure. They even tried to 243 00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:42.240 kill me to make doubly sure. You ought to pass the next round George, 244 00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:45.920 put yourself in the capable hand to Lieutenant Johnson. Those boys are still 245 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:48.920 out to get you, and it could be anybody, anybody out there on 246 00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:52.160 the street. Here in the lobby, George, Jenny's right, let's turn 247 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:56.240 you. What was the old fellow trying to tell us upstairs? If we 248 00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:59.359 at least knew that? Come on, Brooksie, think back. Just what 249 00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:02.799 did he say? Well, he was feverish, George. He kept saying 250 00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:06.079 he wanted to get somewhere, was willing to pay you to help him. 251 00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:10.400 That's all he was trying to tell us where you remember after he refused that 252 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:14.000 drink of water asked for his call. I know, as you'd better stay 253 00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:17.359 with plenty of people around you, and you're back to the wall, better 254 00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:21.400 still pour out your trouble little heart to Johnson. Yeah, yeah, I 255 00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:25.279 guess you're right, Jenny, especially with Brooksie on the same spot with me. 256 00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:37.680 Come on and the way to Lieutenant Johnson. Wait a minute, hold 257 00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:41.480 everything, but holy we just heard the answer and the beautiful pear shaped tones 258 00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:45.839 of the bus dispatcher. I don't get it. Fairfield, Clayton and Coatesville, 259 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.880 Coatsville, That's what Redman was trying to say. That's why he said 260 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.519 coat even after he refused it. There wasn't anything in that coat, and 261 00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:56.960 he wasn't fevery she said, get coat. He was trying to say, 262 00:20:56.119 --> 00:21:00.200 get me to Coatsville. How can you be sure he got off here in 263 00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:02.839 this terminal, because it's the only place you can get a bus to Coachville, 264 00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:03.880 adds up. Couldn't be, It couldn't be. You're want to make 265 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.519 sure it's to go there and see if the name Redmond means anything in that 266 00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:10.839 town. If so, just what hey, Jenny, here's what you can 267 00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:12.480 do with that story. I promise for you. Check the morgue at the 268 00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:17.160 journals. See if Philip Redmond and Coachsville go together somehow? Right? What 269 00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:18.559 about you. I'll be waiting in a bus terminal there in the morning. 270 00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:21.599 Get there as soon as you can. We'd better hurry, George, if 271 00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:22.920 we're going to make that bus leaving, not this time, brout see, 272 00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.359 you put yourself on the care of the good lieutenant. I don't want anything 273 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:29.079 happening to you. See you in the morning, Jenny. You can't leave 274 00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:41.759 me like this now you hear me? Or hold it? You're got another 275 00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:48.279 passenger. Thanks? Oh I just ready. Well you're not going to hug 276 00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:55.079 the whole seat, are you? Oh no? Oh yeah? Oh no, 277 00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:59.240 love, busy I'm serious, has already gone. I know, I 278 00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:02.480 know, I'll stop for just this morning you said I was willing to spend. 279 00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:06.519 I'll scream. I'll scream and tell the driver you're molesting me, and 280 00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:08.000 then you'll throw you off. I don't care. No, no, no, 281 00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:12.319 no, it's all right. Drive the lady just remember she forgot to 282 00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:17.880 turn the gas off under the roast. Oh, sit down, you, 283 00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:34.319 Benedict Donald. I don't want to see another bus terminal as long as I 284 00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:37.920 live, and I won't be long if we don't stick right out here with 285 00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:41.440 am adding crowd. This is a case of safety and numbers. Oh, 286 00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:47.640 I'm not afraid. Last night you were quaking in your little open toes sandals, 287 00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:51.000 and now you're a blind spirit. I'm with you, just the two 288 00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:55.440 of us, though, I'm not afraid. Oh, women, From four 289 00:22:55.519 --> 00:23:00.160 o'clock this morning until now five hours, I wonder what it feels like to 290 00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:04.200 lie down. Yeah, Jenny should be here soon anyway. There's nothing we 291 00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:07.720 can do until Coolsville. Like, sorry, that man over there, he 292 00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:15.960 keeps staring at us. I'm so sinister looking. He does look a little 293 00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:19.920 ugly. You don't think he's one of those, you know. I think 294 00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:22.640 we're gonna find out he's headed this way. Would you run down easy? 295 00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:26.519 Now? Wouldn't dare do anything in front of all these people? Yes, 296 00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:30.240 but maybe he's an exhibitionist me. Could you direct me to the local way 297 00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:37.079 of Oh, well, I think the gentleman at the information desk and help 298 00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:44.440 you. Oh of course, I stay at the way straight stop. This 299 00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:48.319 is certainly the nicest way to work up a persecution. He compla, oh, 300 00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:51.079 it's all over now. Hey, here comes Jenny, and if she 301 00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:53.559 makes any passes at you all pop her right in her profile. Angel, 302 00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:57.680 that's the nicest compliment, A boy of a guy. My place you got 303 00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:00.279 here? It's small all that. We call it home. Of course, 304 00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:04.119 when we get some curt what'd you find out, Jenny, George? You 305 00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:07.400 got me on the trail of a real story if it checked. Here. 306 00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:11.640 Take a look at this picture. I found it at the morgue of the 307 00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:15.039 journal. Yeah. Is that redmanner, isn't it? Sure he's younger there, 308 00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.680 but it's the same manner. Well, that was taken fifteen years ago, 309 00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:22.200 when his face was in all the papers the time he disappeared, disappeared, 310 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:25.720 took a powder, vanished into thin air. He was only the mayor 311 00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:29.759 of this thriving little community. Whoa you know? When he disappeared, he 312 00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:33.640 left a real mess behind him. All through his administration he was playing footy 313 00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.400 with some big mobsters. Together they took coats filth for plenty. Very interesting. 314 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:41.880 He seemed like such a nice gentleman. Maybe he was coming back because 315 00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:45.759 his conscience was matter why he was coming back. The point is somebody didn't 316 00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:49.240 like the idea, didn't like the idea of his coming back to life at 317 00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:53.240 all. But fifteen years he must have lived somewhere as Walter Haskell and our 318 00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:56.400 unseen friends have still been on keeping in the name of Redmond, dead and 319 00:24:56.480 --> 00:25:00.559 forgotten. They don't want anybody knows him back into the old scandal. Maybe 320 00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:03.799 there are big names involved that could be it. No wonder the plane rough. 321 00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:07.440 I think you can unload this to the police now, George, No, 322 00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:11.279 not yet, not to like fi a little experiment. What if we're 323 00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:15.079 the only ones who know that Redmond and Haskell are one and the same. 324 00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:18.240 Why not trade in on it. Let's make our unseen playmates show their hands 325 00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:25.400 by getting a list of Coachsville's hotels and well seeing if curiosity doesn't kill something 326 00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:38.720 else besides cats. Barrington Hotel is number three. You know there are only 327 00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:42.119 three hotels in town, George, and the other two would no soap. 328 00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:47.000 Look, George, maybe this theme of yours is just a little too meat. 329 00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:48.400 I don't think there's any doubt that they knew I took that bus. 330 00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:53.200 He at a coach Filman. Why now there should be here somewhere. Chances 331 00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:56.920 are they'd hold up on one hotel or another.

Now you 345 00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:03.680 can say it with pride enjoy. Here's our very own little boy. Hello, 346 00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:07.839 Sonny, don't tell me you're the desk clerk here too. I don't 347 00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:11.839 know what you're talking about. You arranged to take four horses place at the 348 00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:15.759 Bristol yesterday, didn't you? So you could get rid of Redmond's registration card? 349 00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:18.319 Incidentally, what hospital have you got Horace in? Look? I don't 350 00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:21.759 have to keep your hands out of your pockets. I got one of those 351 00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:25.039 things to old. Get away from them before it. Give me that Take 352 00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:27.640 this gun. It spoils your shape, all right? Busted? That's much 353 00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:30.279 better. George. Didn't the man about it? He is that he is? 354 00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:33.400 Well? We gotta buy, didn't we? Look? He just couldn't 355 00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:37.720 resist finding out who could be sending Walter Haskell a telegram? Could you? 356 00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:41.480 What's really the name? They got under your pin up picture in the post 357 00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:45.079 office. He's the loquacious type. Isn't it. Oh, he's just saving 358 00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:49.279 it all up for Lieutenant Johnson, and then he can talk and sing at 359 00:27:49.319 --> 00:28:03.200 the same time, not one, not two, but all eight. You 360 00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:07.720 probably know by now that means Chevern Supreme, the gasoline that gives you all 361 00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:11.799 eight high performance qualities. Maybe you know too that these eight qualities are quick 362 00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:18.400 starting, fast warm up, smooth acceleration, anti knock, vaporlock prevention, 363 00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:22.200 full power, economy, mileage, and area blending. But the point I 364 00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:26.319 want to make is this, You'll never know what all this can mean in 365 00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:32.400 real driving pleasure until you try Chevern Supreme gasoline in your car. So why 366 00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:34.599 wait any longer. Next time you need gas, pull in and fill up 367 00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:41.279 with Chevern Supreme Gasoline at any vanted station or independent Chevern gas station where they 368 00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:56.960 say A mean we take better care of your car. Would you mind telling 369 00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:03.319 me? Why are we going to the household fixtures department? Angel You'll see, 370 00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:07.319 okay, hey, you know how curious mister Rainey sang all right. 371 00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:11.839 Mister Redman did have pangs of conscience, and he was going back to tell 372 00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:15.640 all Mary made the loveliest looking bride. He was living in Fullerton for the 373 00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:19.440 last fifteen years. His playmates kept an eye on him all the time, 374 00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:23.640 but he finally decided to turn boy Scott. That's when they shot him. 375 00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:27.240 Somehow he managed to escape and got on that bus with you. By a 376 00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:32.039 real nice wedding present from Marian Deal. We found poor Redman in the shack 377 00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:34.960 out of flat Land meadows, and so everything is tied up in a neat 378 00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:45.440 little package. How much these chimes are twelve fifteen? I'll take two of 379 00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:49.079 these, but Angel, what's the other one for? If I live long 380 00:29:49.240 --> 00:30:08.359 enough to find out?

This is the mutual 390 00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:15.200 Don Lee Broadcasting System. Welcome back. Well a solid a fairly suspenseful episode, 391 00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:21.400 trying to figure out what was going on, and not the traditional detective 392 00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:26.720 mystery that they dealt with in terms of a bunch of suspects lined up, 393 00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:33.200 but still a pretty good story. By the way, there were two lost 394 00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:37.799 episodes. The ones that we missed were for Promised Joy and the Puzzle Lock. 395 00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:44.319 All right, well, listener comments and feedback, and we have this 396 00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:48.119 from E. R. Richardson and E. All rights. Hey, Adam, 397 00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:52.960 after about two years, I have finally caught up to your current podcast. 398 00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.920 Did I hear you right that it would be about two years before you 399 00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:01.039 start? Richard Diamond? I will be going through Withdraws without George and Brooksie, 400 00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:06.319 so I was hoping for another long running series. Thanks for your hard 401 00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:13.240 work. Well Er, I'll tell you if I said two years, I 402 00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:16.119 was wrong. It's going to be about three years. But that doesn't mean 403 00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:22.960 we're not going to have some long running series in the meanwhile coming to Thursdays 404 00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:28.680 in about three months a few I think, maybe a week more than that, 405 00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:32.400 about thirteen weeks, well actually because we have a special, So about 406 00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:39.759 four months we will have Nick Carter, a great long running series with Lawn 407 00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:45.279 Clark in the lead throughout, wonderful series. And of course, you know, 408 00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:50.680 Monday through Friday, we're going to have the Bob or Monday, Wednesday 409 00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:53.960 and Friday the Bob Bailey run of yours truly Johnny Dowler, which you know, 410 00:32:54.559 --> 00:32:59.640 these serial runs really are some of the best radio out there. And 411 00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:05.240 then and once we finished Johnny Dollar, Wednesdays will actually be dedicated to the 412 00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:09.319 Philip Marlow program. So we always keep plenty of those long running series around. 413 00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:13.359 I know we get a lot of requests for him, but there are 414 00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:17.720 only so many that left behind a lot of recordings, so we have to 415 00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:23.359 pace ourselves and kind of be careful. So I hope you enjoy the new 416 00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:30.799 serial Johnny Doller series tremendous, and then four months down the road you're going 417 00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:36.640 to get to enjoy the Nick Carter series. So I think we'll have a 418 00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:39.279 lot of enjoyment there all right, Well, that will do it. We 419 00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:45.680 will be back tomorrow with Sherlock Holmes, and join us on both Monday and 420 00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:50.480 Wednesday next week for the last two episodes of Let George Do It.
