Templer? Could you get 22 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,400 up here to my home right away? I know it's asking a lot, 23 00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,360 but this is urgent, most urgent. Safe me. What's it all about? 24 00:03:00,439 --> 00:03:02,360 Well, I would like to say too much of the phone, Templer. 25 00:03:02,479 --> 00:03:06,599 Bit something has come up which could very well cost me my office. 26 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,960 Oh that's nothing, but it might cost me the life of my son. 27 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,439 I take the first brain I can get. Well, Thank you, my 28 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:31,240 boy, Thank you, and Templer. Say nothing to anyone nothing. Yes, 29 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,879 Mayor Towers sent for me, Simon Temper. Oh, come in, 30 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,319 Templer, come in. Thank you good. If you had to come so 31 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,080 promptly, we appreciate it. I'm j. Chase Finley, the Mayor's confidential 32 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,960 secretary. Will you come right this way here. Thank you. It's a 33 00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:52,560 very imposing home. I hadn't been here before. We like it in here, 34 00:03:52,639 --> 00:03:59,000 pace, Simon Templer, mister Mayor, Templer, good to see you 35 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,479 again, Simon, much too long much? How I well, thanks, 36 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,240 mister man. Mister Mayor listened to him. Worse you aren't calling him mister 37 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:11,800 Mayor. That night up at the Plaza Hotel, when Simon, my wife, 38 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,920 my dear missus, Simon Templer, old old brad frectly Simon, my 39 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,079 wife, rudeness, how do you do? Married? Five years now since 40 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,120 you and I last saw each other. Templer, sit down, Sit down, 41 00:04:23,959 --> 00:04:28,519 m my dear, business I'm getting married, Russell. I told you, 42 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,279 my dear, there's nothing to worry about. I can't help her. 43 00:04:31,319 --> 00:04:33,920 I sometimes wonder, Prudence, if you would be as worried about me, 44 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,959 if I stayed the way a few days, you wouldn't stay away a few 45 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:46,519 days, Russell. Good good night, mister Goodness. Tower said he has 46 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,759 a very beautiful first lady, mister here, as you see, Templer, 47 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:57,360 I haven't told her about Bill Favorite. Her reaction would be well. The 48 00:04:57,399 --> 00:05:00,439 reason we sent for your Templar is that the Mayor's son must be being held 49 00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:04,680 a prisoner, you might say, a political prisoner by whom Packie Flynn or 50 00:05:04,759 --> 00:05:09,120 those who work for him. I didn't know Flynn was that crude. What's 51 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,040 his ankle? It's not crude at all, Temper. As you know, 52 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,480 the Mayor's been forced into this special election by false charges of graft and tie 53 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,639 ins with gangsters. Flynn's candidate, Wickersham, has made this the main theme 54 00:05:19,639 --> 00:05:24,360 of his campaign and he's making serious inroads. And I haven't been able to 55 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:29,600 reply because they're holding Bill. It's horrible. Bill is the price of silence 56 00:05:29,639 --> 00:05:33,360 exactly if we reply to the opposition's charges by showing his link with Packie Flynn, 57 00:05:33,439 --> 00:05:36,560 the head of organized crime in the city. But Bill might be, 58 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,759 well, where I think of that hypocrite Wisham accusing me of corruption when all 59 00:05:42,759 --> 00:05:46,279 the time he is in the camp of corruption seeking to lay his avarice's hands 60 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,800 on the public. Christie, whose funds most inevitably my friends come from the 61 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:53,480 pockets are simple, honest, working folk like those of you who tonight. 62 00:05:54,959 --> 00:05:59,519 Well, let's see how long is this bill being gone? Four days and 63 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,160 the election and is only two days off. Have you reported this to the 64 00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:05,040 police. Unfortunately, templar, it has lately come to my attention that my 65 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:12,160 own police force is not entirely trustworthy. Corrupting hand of petty Flynn has touched 66 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,959 that also after the election, I fully intend well, providing that I am 67 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,879 re elected. Of course, also a templar, A clumsy handling of this 68 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,439 thing might be extremely dangerous for the exactly I am prepared to pay the price 69 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,079 of silence about Flynn with a certain if necessary. If the boy is the 70 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,040 important thing? How does Flynn figure on getting away with this? What happens 71 00:06:33,079 --> 00:06:38,360 after the election. He's gambling that I won't be elected the quiggishoman power any 72 00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:41,480 charges we might make, whatever little chance of success. I get the idea, 73 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,279 and you want me to find Bill. If possible, I should be 74 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,079 everlasting, the great. My gratitude is another thing to be taken lightly, 75 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:53,279 Simon, Now do my bed? How old is Bill? Now? In 76 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:59,399 years? In fact twenty four find a templar? An organized gangsterism waxes so 77 00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:01,800 bold. This is not the America nor in love, and this is not 78 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:08,079 the America that those hardy pilgrims landing on that rocky spray swept coast so many 79 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:14,600 years ago envisioned in shining imagery as well. Let's let's either here nor there 80 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:30,319 find my boy Templer. I'll do my best. Inesster. The rockets are 81 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,959 brought along company. Christy blind. Christip Flynn is not in. No, 82 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:39,279 I don't expect him. Thank you, good morning. What can I do 83 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,959 for you? I wanted to see mister Flynn. Mister Flynn is not in. 84 00:07:42,199 --> 00:07:45,560 Didn't you Jackie any sisa? I never eat Scott try it. You're 85 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,639 missing half your life. Believe me, you believe in living vicariously. Say 86 00:07:49,639 --> 00:07:54,199 are you being fresh? Because if you're not eat it, I'll do my 87 00:07:54,279 --> 00:08:00,879 best. Halloween that's my favorite name. Well it's not mine, mister Flinn 88 00:08:00,959 --> 00:08:03,439 b and Elloise never that is, even when he's in, he's out. 89 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,519 And how could we arrange it so that he is in dinner tonight? Perhaps? 90 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,160 Yeah, maybe we could. No, let's not plan on it. 91 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,319 I feel bad when you didn't show up, and you'd have me on your 92 00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:18,240 conscience when you didn't show up, So why don't you just go right? 93 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,160 Honey? And mister Flynn is the first day to the right Ellouise. You 94 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,959 are destined for greatness. I'm just in to marry a guy who wears a 95 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,160 leathern act hie and drives a motorcycle. Don't tell mister Flinn and a Jeanet 96 00:08:30,199 --> 00:08:37,200 think of it, mister Flynn for you, my name is Templer, mister 97 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,720 Flinn, Simon Templer. I'm from the Clean Government League and I'm interested in 98 00:08:41,759 --> 00:08:48,080 getting your analysis at the present campaign. An unbelieve it. How about if 99 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,440 I applied for a loan. We don't give loans here except the policeman and 100 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,559 politicians. You don't look like either. You're very frank, Packy. Sure 101 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:01,080 I pay enough to hire politicians. They supply all the hypocrisy. That's why 102 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,519 don't you be just as frank with me? Templar what adviaid? I just 103 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,120 wanted to have a look at the famous Packy Flynn. I wouldn't believe it, 104 00:09:07,759 --> 00:09:11,000 but not accepted. You aren't from j Edgar, you aren't from the 105 00:09:11,039 --> 00:09:13,559 Treasury, so you can be anything else you want to be. How about 106 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:20,159 the elections. Right after it's all over, I'll still be doing business. 107 00:09:20,519 --> 00:09:24,159 It's a word to remember. Business. That's what politics is, That's what 108 00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:28,960 gambling is. Business. We're all in business to get it. We may 109 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,399 fight a little bit in public, but after it's over. We meet back 110 00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:35,440 at the barn and we vide up the loops. In other words, you're 111 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:41,159 nut. That's what I like. A keen mind.

I've been trying to run down the home 148 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:18,279 of a book of matches. Well each to his own taste. May I 149 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:26,919 say that? Certain? Yeah? Each ments and growth in any success, 150 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:33,159 growing thin looking, but no success sufficiently Cryptically, my errand is much more 151 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:39,840 simple. Russell is upstairs addressing the Young Republicans Club, and I'm a fugitive. 152 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,120 When I look out into the sea of shining faces, I know that 153 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:50,440 the future of America is a shoe pretty much like that. Russell is nice, 154 00:13:50,399 --> 00:13:56,639 It's gentle, honest. I'm Gibson for the lady. Thank you, 155 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:03,639 George, and go well, each to his own taste. I'll take a 156 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,960 nice thought, mister Templar. I'm not going to tell her the story of 157 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:11,080 my life, not on one thing another. I'm a student of human nature. 158 00:14:11,039 --> 00:14:15,559 I'm gonna try this. When emphasize, why does a girl married at 159 00:14:15,639 --> 00:14:18,120 eighteen to a boy twenty who's got just as much money and just as little 160 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,879 aim in life as she had divorcing a twenty one, and then at twenty 161 00:14:22,879 --> 00:14:26,320 four marry a man twice raged. First she marries to get away from her 162 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:31,919 family. Then she marries a man old enough to be her father to your 163 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,919 turn to her family. Figuratively, that is, she shouldn't met two years 164 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,759 ago, would have saved her ten thousand dollars in fees for Anna.

I don't know, I'm not even surety, but 231 00:20:49,599 --> 00:21:00,359 the gun there, Miss Ben come away. Politician shouldn't have shippers that they 232 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:06,359 shouldn't you You never get to know them. You make a pointless to see 233 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:14,559 them moving thirsday and then one day they've grown up. That's strangers. But 234 00:21:14,839 --> 00:21:19,680 Bill would have made a great contage if it. Want he had the making 235 00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:30,559 is wark. Yeah, I remember this grade school graduation. This part alone. 236 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:37,079 This is advice to the ends, either the power nor a lender be 237 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,599 as it going thinning. We have the latest returns from two hundred and thirty 238 00:21:56,599 --> 00:22:03,200 three out of five hundred and ninety four precincts or Mayor Wickersham two hundred thousand, 239 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:08,160 three hundred fourteen towers three hundred twenty four thousand, one hundred and congratulations 240 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,680 on a winning campaign. Thanks but we expected it. Did you Mayor coming 241 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,759 down? Well, you can understand how he feels, but he's never an 242 00:22:15,759 --> 00:22:21,960 election night at campaign headquarters yet I imagine he'll be here. Well, mister 243 00:22:22,079 --> 00:22:26,319 Temperer from the Clean Government League. These were the election mister temper Hello, 244 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,920 Packy as your head busting the horst lst. I looked it up to smooth 245 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,519 and I took advantage of you. What are you here for? Packy game? 246 00:22:34,599 --> 00:22:38,920 To celebrate? What else? Inspat it? Backing Wickersham. I've backed 247 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:44,400 both candidates, that's the safest way. But I backed Towers with more money. 248 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,000 Would you stink? That's not what you told me, Finley, I 249 00:22:48,039 --> 00:22:52,000 didn't. Well, what Packy Flynn does with his money is his own business. 250 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,480 He doesn't always consult me before he does it. I see well, 251 00:22:56,279 --> 00:23:00,240 Well, good evening, gentleman Templer, Packy Buster, Congratulations miss the Mayor. 252 00:23:00,279 --> 00:23:03,000 It's a lance by how well. It's always a good feeling to receive 253 00:23:03,079 --> 00:23:04,599 a mandate and the electorate for in the long run, it is the people 254 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:10,160 who will affirm or deny the truth of the principles that I is. Well, 255 00:23:10,279 --> 00:23:15,119 some other time you heard about Bill thank papers haven't carried it yet, 256 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,039 but I heard tough, I asked the papers cooperating to after the election. 257 00:23:19,519 --> 00:23:23,319 I'm enough then to look into the boys' motives for or doing what he did. 258 00:23:25,279 --> 00:23:26,599 Findley, have you found a fruit reself? You know the man? 259 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,680 Have you seen a temper? I haven't. Man as well, she'll see 260 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,599 the ad be long. Was there anything you want to temper? Just to 261 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:40,960 be in on the celebration with the rest of the family. Oh do we 262 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,880 have a bottle? Fully? I don't feel much like it. My dear, 263 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,160 where have you been? I wanted you to be with me today. 264 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:53,359 I I honor the mayor. Don't argue, no, I'd understand. Victory 265 00:23:53,440 --> 00:24:00,079 celebration another glorious mandate from the people. Given the grand choice between two thieves, 266 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,039 they chose the one with the most experience couples. I think you'd better 267 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,680 leave Tampath, do you? I don't think so. I think it's fair 268 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,440 that the people have at least one representative presence. I'm sure you may not 269 00:24:11,559 --> 00:24:15,480 be quite as stupid as I thought, as they thought, as they thought 270 00:24:15,519 --> 00:24:19,440 I was too. Who has been talking to you? Still? Last night? 271 00:24:21,279 --> 00:24:23,599 He called me and I went to his apartment, and that's the first 272 00:24:23,599 --> 00:24:29,720 time. If that's what you're thinking, mister mayor not her talk. I'm 273 00:24:29,759 --> 00:24:33,960 interested in myself. Thank you too, Patty. You know why you were 274 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,759 brought in on this lovely affair. So on, I'm putting two and two 275 00:24:36,759 --> 00:24:41,640 together, expensibly to find Bill, who was kidnapped by you, Patty. 276 00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:45,000 That's interesting, isn't it, mister man. But he wasn't held as a 277 00:24:45,079 --> 00:24:48,119 hospite for your silence, mister man. He was held until after the election 278 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,839 because he had found out things about his father and Patty Flynn, his fine, 279 00:24:53,039 --> 00:24:56,680 honorable father. He was threatening to go to the voters with it, 280 00:24:56,799 --> 00:25:00,240 but it was just until after the election. After then I could have persuaded 281 00:25:00,319 --> 00:25:03,640 him. He wouldn't have said anything. Then I could have reasoned with her 282 00:25:03,799 --> 00:25:08,359 a little parental restraint until then, and if he talked later on, I 283 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,839 was your protection. Flynn was the villain, and I was looking for dill 284 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,960 On your behalf. Only I wasn't supposed to find him. Or maybe if 285 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,720 Bill talk too much, you would have tried to throw Flynn to the wolves 286 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,480 using me as evidence. Oh no, no, Packet, that wasn't it. 287 00:25:22,799 --> 00:25:27,359 On saying only I found Bill, That's what disrupted them. Got to 288 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,240 understand, Temple that when you're in politics, you've got to make deals. 289 00:25:30,279 --> 00:25:34,319 You know that why everybody make steals? It it's just business suits. You. 290 00:25:34,559 --> 00:25:38,880 I understand that Bill didn't. No, Bill didn't. He never would. 291 00:25:40,559 --> 00:25:44,039 He talked the poor don long suffering voters to pay the bill should have 292 00:25:44,079 --> 00:25:47,200 more for their money than the choice between two thieves. And he was going 293 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,440 to say that they got it, Prudence, we can talk later about my 294 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:55,319 build. Why he did what he did. He killed himself. Do you 295 00:25:55,319 --> 00:26:00,400 think he killed himself, Simon, no temper, He didn't. I talked 296 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,160 to him last night. He was a lot. He knew what he had 297 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:07,039 to do when he wanted to live. Who not clean, not packy Flynn, 298 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,279 good people. I stopped their mouse with dollar bills much cheaper in the 299 00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:15,920 long run, and just as sure, which couldn't stop bills now Joe, 300 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:19,559 but then he wasn't a politician. But there, I trust you have a 301 00:26:19,559 --> 00:26:23,039 good alibi for last night. Well, give me time and I can Jeff 302 00:26:23,079 --> 00:26:26,599 one right. I think you'll need it. Bill wouldn't have let you into 303 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:32,720 his apartment. He was killed by somebody knew it was a good action put 304 00:26:32,759 --> 00:26:37,480 on this morning there which she knew last night that I found Bill Packy would 305 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,039 have called you right away. Oh do you too sleep? You can't know, 306 00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:45,720 not you, mister Mayor. You sent someone to reason with Bill, 307 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,559 your hatchet man, j Chase. You're very careful what you're saying. Temper, 308 00:26:49,599 --> 00:26:55,119 I'll try to be thinner. Your reasoning didn't work. Bill probably ordered 309 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,400 you out for this gun. There was a fight, and you stop him, 310 00:26:57,559 --> 00:27:02,720 then rigged it to look like it's your word against mine and the mayor's. 311 00:27:02,839 --> 00:27:06,480 Finley's right. Your accusations are not only in bad taste, they're also 312 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:12,640 you. You your honor than me. You've killed him, Gnavy Finley pulled 313 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,960 the trigger. But it was you who killed him, killed him with the 314 00:27:17,079 --> 00:27:19,319 years of neglect, of hypocrisy, of building up an idol of the people, 315 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,880 and then when he found out, you delivered him into the hands of 316 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,680 stubs. You stood aside in the Finley murder him, and now you're back 317 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:33,559 in. Finley said it son, you did. Maybe it's all advised me 318 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,400 not to turn the Finley over to the police immediately, But Towers, you're 319 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,839 throwing me to the world as well. After all, while I don't doubt 320 00:27:41,839 --> 00:27:48,279 that it was or it might have been, unintentional on your part. Why 321 00:27:45,279 --> 00:27:52,240 are very well done, Busts. This will all come out. It's really 322 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:57,839 a matter of adjusting ourselves. I never explained about politics before because I didn't 323 00:27:57,839 --> 00:28:02,359 think it was necessary. Maybe if we go away for a while, we 324 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:10,799 look tires. I'll talk to you later. Play later. Looks likely better 325 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:15,039 hand up a fresh mirror for ourselves. Buster, Yeah, you're pretty sure 326 00:28:15,079 --> 00:28:18,880 you can buy up another one in the open market. Huh.

You're Annoncer to Don Stanley three Times 353 00:31:06,839 --> 00:31:11,240 being Good Times on NBC. Later today, there's another hour and a half 354 00:31:11,319 --> 00:31:15,960 broadcast of radio's greatest show, The Big Show, starving Eddie Arnold, Got 355 00:31:15,079 --> 00:31:18,799 Carson, Eddie Catter, Olivia de Haveln, Martha Ray, and many more. 356 00:31:19,319 --> 00:31:22,839 You're MC I'm a Big Show, of course, is the Glamorous and 357 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:27,000 Unpredictable to Lula and Tonight Theater Gil Down the Air presents Light Up the Sky, 358 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:32,359 starting Joan Bennett, Stan Levine and Elma Ritter. Olivia de Haven visits 359 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:45,720 the Big Joe on MDC Welcome Back Well. An excellent performance by John Brown 360 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:55,599 as the Mayor. One of those really great radio actors, probably best known 361 00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:07,240 for Plane Broadway on the Damon Runyon Theater and also playing Digger O'Dell on the 362 00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:14,440 Life of Riley, and he played that role over television as well. And 363 00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:20,599 another one of those episodes. Really, you know I mentioned this when we 364 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:25,119 did the episode set at the University. You didn't really see this sort of 365 00:32:27,519 --> 00:32:35,319 biding social commentary in detective shows like The Saints to the same degree that you 366 00:32:36,039 --> 00:32:39,519 heard in these couple episodes. So these are somewhat remarkable and we're getting some 367 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:46,279 of the very best Saint scripts as we're getting to the end of Vincent Price's 368 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:53,160 run on the Saint. While we do have five more episodes with Tom Conway 369 00:32:53,279 --> 00:33:02,920 in the lead role, we actually only have remore Vincent Price episodes after this 370 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,559 week, So a series so far seems to be ending as far as Vincent 371 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:15,319 Price on a very strong note. All right, listener comments and feedback, 372 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:21,920 and we have a comment regarding episode sixteen eleven, the Formula for Death. 373 00:33:22,839 --> 00:33:25,799 Stephen writes in on Twitter. Enjoyed this episode of The Saint. Lots of 374 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:32,039 surprises and it's always great when William Conrad shows up.
