Hey, mister Templin, Yes, Louie, eight o'clock in the morning,
that's right, So for what are we driving out to the race track
at this hour? You know? Face race? Don't go up to one
thirty in the afternoon. Let her from the lady in distress, lawyer,
Ah, and you the Robin would have modern crimer Jitney into the rescue.
I might have known, Louis. Keep your mind on the road, please,
yeah, yeah, sure? Hey, is she blond and beautiful?
Or is she brunette and beautiful? As she's fifteen? Fifteen going on sixteen?
Sounds like a dull case. Well, here's the track, mister Temple.
We should part drive over to the training track, Luis, over by
the state larrea. Oh, sure and say if you're happen to pick up
any inside information, mister Temple, if you know what I mean, save
your money, Louie. You cannot beat the horses. Who wants to beat
them? I'm fighting the whole even Let me out here, will you?
I think I see my lady in distress. Okay, I'll wait here,
mister Templer, Thanks Louis. Good morning Annie, Oh, good morning?
Are you Simon Templer? And you're miss McIntyre. How do you do?
I knew you'd come. It wasn't logical that you shouldn't. I know I
shouldn't have asked you, but I knew you'd come. That's the nicest thing
anyone said to me all day. And that's almost david'clock. That's Dad over
there with the watch. Pete's getting ready to work. That's our horse,
Peter is a great licks up on him. And Vic is the boy you're
worried about. Yes, please don't think I'm a silly, hysterical little girl,
mister Temper. But Dad practically raised a bit. We grew up together,
and now no I don't know him at all. I see I called
you because something terrible is going to happen. Bring your friend over here.
He's getting ready to right. I'll tell you later, mister Temper. Come
on, dad, this is mister Templer, my father, mister Temper.
I'm glad to know him. Mister magintye, oh are you said? That's
good? Doesn't he annie? Full of run over? There? Toll Vic
not to let him out though? Easy? Three eighth, that's all getting
the horse ready for a race? Well, I might let him go any
day now, almost any day. He's up to it. Oh, watch
him, he's getting close to the pool. Watch him there he goes Anny
any Bick's lett him out too much. I told him, I said to
it tight. Hold dad, he's just breathing. Hell, maybe hold him,
big boy, hold him. Looks like a beautiful animal, mister MacIntire.
I guess he was eight years old, would you. He's been one
of the top ones. Peach should Maybe we'll be yet, Hold him,
boy, he's just breathing yet. Maybe how much did you run it in,
mister MacIntire, Yeah, thirteen nine and the fifth. I don't think
he's quite up to a rati yet. But you told Vick not to let
him run dead. He was fighting for his head all the way. Down
the streets. H Maybe horseman, mister tempera just two dollars better, mister
mackintire greatest animal in the face of the earth, the thoroughbred horse that includes
humans too, more heart, more brains, and much kinder to each other.
Yes, you may have point. Has Peter the Great always been your
horse? Read him, fold him, raced him, and had him all
his life, outside of a couple of months a while back. If it
hadn't been for a little leg trouble, Pete would be up there with the
best. Oh here he comes back, thirty nine and the fifth pick.
You could have held him a little harder, though, Oh, pitch,
steady boy, tell him a little harder. I almost pulled both arms off
holding all right, pick, all right, easy boy? Do you think
he's ready for a race? Dick? What's the matter with you? Anne?
Are you getting it too? You're always ready for a race. He's
been ready for a month, and dad knows it too. Well. Maybe
we'll see Pete see what is there to see? The horse is eight years
old? What are you waiting for? A match? Race? With citation?
Vic? This is mister Templer. He's a friend of mine. Should
how are you Vic, Dad, what is it? Every time I worked
the horse, it's hold him holding every time I tell you he's ready as
he'll ever be, it's it's maybe, let's wait and see, is it
me? Are you afraid you won't get an honest ride? Is that it
be? Well? Is it? Are you no better than that? Sen?
All right? When are you going to running? Then? Well,
we'll see how he cools out today. Maybe maybe in a week or ten
days. A week or ten days, well, we'll see, we'll see.
Come on, Pete, come on, boy. You shouldn't have said
that to Dad about an honest ride. That's what he's thinking, isn't it.
That's what you're all saying behind my back, isn't it? And what's
mister Templer here for to spy on me? Vic? Well, i'll save
you the trouble, mister Templer. Right now, I'm going to get some
sleep, after which I get up, eat some crumbs that pass for a
meal, get in a sweatbox for as long as I can stand without it
killing me. Ride five racist this afternoon, and after that I've got a
date. Thanks for your assistants, Vic, don't mention it. See you
later, Vic? Are you seeing her again. Annie, you're a nice
kid, but that's all you are, just a kid. And who I
see, he has got nothing to do with you. Understand, Yes,
big I understand. Goodbye, An. He don't worry, mister Temper.
I won't cry. I haven't cried since I was six years old. But
mister Temper, don't let him make VIC throw a race. He wouldn't do
anything dishonest, I know he wouldn't. You love him very much, don't
you him. I believe in him with all my heart. Let's go.
Oh we're not staying for the racist mister Temper. No, we have to
do him. Oh too bad. I would have had five hours to figure
out the fast race. You can spend five hours looking at the form sheet.
Oh sure, sure. All the trouble is by then I can't see
the horses, lois. Where would I go to pick up whatever rumors might
be flying around about horses and jockeys? Almost any barbershop, But if you
want authentic rumors, I would drop in downtown on honor style, your friendly
neighborhood bookie. I thought I was out of business due to a slight difficulty
with the court of law. Well, the technicalities of such things. I
don't follow all the ways Ms. Temple to understand, but the general principle
I understand. It's like the song will always be a bookie. You know
you may be right, well, Simon Templer, A pleasure. Welcome to
my humble cigar store house business. Haven't sold a cigar in months, but
business is booming. House things with you. No decline in crime, I
hope, no, no whatever, just so we all keep busy. That's
the big thing. Well, and won't you know about a horse owner trainer
named McIntyre, Dad McIntyre, anything you want to know? Oldys Peter the
Great dog bad horse, chestnut gelding eight years old. He's at a one
horse stable for years, has a daughter fifteen, and raised Vick Borkowski.
The jockey. Vic always ryans for him. Nobody else has ridden Peter the
Great for years, as anybody else has owned the horse. And oh yeah
yeah, some months ago Big Ed Kleiman claimed him, claimed him. Sure.
Most chief races are claiming races. You enter your horse for say five
thousand dollars, and if somebody puts in a claim for him, he owns
the horse. I see. Nobody would ever claim Peter the great because they
knew how Dad felt about him. A big head did that almost broke Dad's
heart. How did big Ed do with a horse? He won a couple
of races with him, but then his legs went bad and finally Dad claimed
him back again. Uh, what about the jockey, Vic saying, all
sorts of rumors float around about jockeys all the time, all sorts of rumors
that all you can tell me? How well, if a real big bed
came in against a horse that Vic was riding, and Vic was on the
favorite, I might be tempt to de lay off the bed somewhere else.
Nothing personal, just business. I see, you don't know any particular girl
who Vick has been seeing. Toy Sure I do. Jack's living a goldfish
bawl if one of them scratches his head with his left hand. Fifty horse
players spend the whole night trying to figure out what it means. The girl,
a big blond named Crystal Winners show Girl used to go with Ed Kleinman.
She hangs out at the bandbox. Thanks all, I'll be a character
witness for you someday. That's a deal. I hope you'll get him straightened
out, get who straightened out the kid. Vic used to be a nice
guy. Maybe he still is. Dad's a nice guy too, And I
always liked Dannie. I even like the horse. Oh awful, isn't it.
Don't let this get out saying it would ruin me in the profession.
Good evening, Vick, Oh finet, doucy friend, Vick. This is
mister Templer, Crystal, friend of Annie's this winter, is mister Templer.
Pleasure, miss Winters. And have you got a first name, mister Templer,
so that we can be old friends, and then you can sit down
and join us. The first name is Simon Crystal, and I'd love to
join you if Vick doesn't appear. Object. This body's been waiting for all
evening, isn't it, Vick? See Simon sit here next Mone and have
it in champagne, and thank you. Let us run out of champagne again.
Don't get some more? What do you think I am a waiter?
Oh no, you're a jockey. You're too short to be a waiter and
too tall to be a midget. So you're a jockey. You're getting tight,
Crystal, and you're getting a champagne. Goodbyevie, Well, goodbye,
Okay, you're a little rough on the boy, aren't your Crystal here?
Why? Well, I could say it was to drive him away because I'm
bad for him, but i'd be lying. But I wanted to drive me
away, I'd have to be a lot rougher than that. I can't see
why, Thank you, Sigmon, but you can't. Little Jockey's just happened
to like big, expensive, expensive blood. I found that out at an
early age, which was quite some time ago. And do you like little
Johnkins? You're becoming very personal, signmon. I don't quite know what I
was. I have to think about. I'm as slow. Do you like
big Ed Klinman? Why don't you ask him? He's standing right behind you.
Oh, who is your friend, Crystal? Mister temple a, mister
Klineman, mister Klineman, it's a temple and it's shut up, Crystel.
We're friend of Vex Templer. Well you might say that just put me down
as a peat from the bracing, mister clinman. I'm interested in improving the
breed. Yeah, what's you moving on? Vec Temper? He's not big
enough to object, but I am. He didn't move in on Vicky.
Shut up? Crystal leaving mister Templer. That seems to be the majority opinion.
I might Crystal, every moment has been golden. Yeah. Can't you
say something nice like that sometime instead of shut up Crystal? One track mind?
Oh hello? What is it? Temper? Who's this? Shut mc
and harm Temper. I'm terribly sorry to bother you, but what's wrong?
Annie? He's dead. I can't find him. He never stays out this
like, mister Temper. He's always out of the track early in the morning.
What time is it? Four? I am. I didn't want to
wake you, but I've been sitting here all by myself, wondering. Way
right there, Annie? Most likely or Dad, we'll show up before and
get there, but I'll be right out. Thank you, mister Temper.
Thank you. You don't think anything has happened to him? No, Annie,
I'll be right there. Mister Temper. He never did anything like this
before. He was easy. And when did he leave you? Do you
know I was here? It was around nine. Dad left to walk over
the peach's door. He always does that just before he goes to bed,
and then he he just didn't come back. Did you look for him?
Yes? I went over to the stables. I've been see him in peach
Stall and I asked a few people, but none of them had seen him.
I came back here. He was always in bed by mister Templer every
night of his life. Oh right, Annie, we'll find him. Did
you call Vic. He's living at a hotel. He just moved from living
with us a month ago. I called him. Is he in No?
All right, don't worry any we'll find your dad. Let's go over to
the stables. All right, But I looked there. Well, we'd better
cover them again. What is this somebody coming? Dad? Oh? Annie?
What are you doing out this late? And template el seeing anything of
Annie's dad? No, No, just came from a poker game with some
of the boys. But we didn't see him. You know, he never
stayed out this lay down every Anny, Sure you've been down to Pete Stall
and he looked at earlier. But we might check again. It's right over
here, easy for easy, dad, he'd not hear this. I'm billiant,
just to make sure. Wait here, Annie, I'll come with you,
easy. Does it be? The old boy looks excited about something,
saying yes, I noticed, Well it doesn't look at it? Hell yeah,
over in the corner. Dad, I'm afraid so I got a lighter.
Yeah, yeah, m hmm, mark of a horse shoe's killed an
instantly? Keep any up? Will you sure you can't wait a minute,
dear? I'm sorry, any oh? Please? I'm how friendly he is?
However, not he he didn't do it. He didn't do it?
Goodn't. I'll never believe he did it. Maybe I won't either, any
I want to help you make some fans plan, mister Temper. What's there
for me to do? Just keep on going to school, I've got another
year. Keep on living here, hip. I guess you'll keep on living
at your hotel. V I think that's the best. Annie. Of course
you're right. What about Peter the Grade? I know Vic thinks Dad wouldn't
race him because he didn't trust Vick to ride him. But I don't believe
that. So I've entered Peter the Grade in the sixth race tomorrow, will
be riding this. You trust me to give you an honest ride? Annie?
I trust you? Yes, Thanks, Kenny. Thanks, I'm riding.
I'm riding for you. So on do I do wrong? Temper?
If you like someone very much, then you have to trust the many.
You just have to and that's never wrong. Hello well, well hello mister
Templer. He had to place a little wager on Peter the Great for tomorrow.
Word gets around first to scientific pastime, mister Templer. The players have
to study out things well in advance, helps them to lose their money.
Had any action yet on the ring? Definitely? Mister big Ed Kleinman plays
a very substantial sum on two other horses in the race, which I promptly
laid off with the connection I got out of town. He's pretty sure Peter
won't win. You must know something. If he doesn't, he stands to
go broke. He's picked in the consensus. He'll go off. Maybe even
money will want good they get. Now what's that? And all? You
can't very well dope a horse these days? So what does that leave the
man on the horse's back and the monkey on the stick? You know,
the same saint never bet on anything but two legs. That's a bit of
comment on the human race. Now, all I know is it's very hard
to find a dishonest horse. Well, big it isn't throwing money around just
on speculation, as it's the size what the size of the jocks they're five
foot men in the six foot world. They never get to eat a decent
meal, they can't take a drink. Everybody else is trying to get big
and strong, and the worst thing that can happen to them is they grow
up to be normal. So if the ethics are not all they might be,
well, that's understandable, A very good word. You don't think vic
house Gate will give Annion honest ry tomorrow? I'll tell you better this time
tomorrow. How are you betting I'm not a better hel I'm only interested in
improving the breed. Who do you like in the sex? Mister Templer and
Peter the Great Luier? All you like him? Met? Even money?
I will tell you after the race. After the race, thanks very much.
Yeah, sorry, Luis. It's just that I almost wish the race
wasn't going to be run. I have a feeling something tragic is about to
happen, and I don't know what I can do to stop it. You
know, I get that feeling every time I got to the window a better
horse. A girl's life can be shattered at fifteen and never quite be the
same. Well, you know that's what they call a vulnerable age. Oh,
here we are. You've got any plan in mind, mister Templer,
I'm afraid it's too late to too much lawier and if there was anything to
be jumpers on a chance, I'm going to check the cubhouse bar. You
don't think you'll find your friend Annie in the bar, Maybe another friend louis
enjoying the racist Crystal O Missus Diamond temper, sit down, Missus Simond temper,
winning or losing decision. You divide the number of highballs you've had by
five, add three, and that's your horse. Never failed, except when
you've had enough highballs to make it work. You forget how many highballs you've
had? How many highballs does it take to forget this next race? I'm
trying to find out you will know something about your dumper Crystal cheer idea.
Why didn't you ask me? Why I ask you? And I won't tell
you? Were you ever fifteen? Crystal Year? I was at fifteen,
I started dancing a chorus mine at fifteen, I was married two months later,
I was back in align. Was I ever fifteen? Did you ever
believe in someone so hard at her and have to him take your belief and
throw it away? You're talking about the kid Annie in a jacket. Yeah,
what's going to happen? Crystal? You know? Kill me? That's
a funny cry I don't. Nobody does. I won't suppose that wants.
That's supposed to mean either Vic throws the race or he doesn't. What else
is that? Either an he gets her heartbroken or she doesn't it if it's
an honest race, if he should win easily? All right, boy Scott,
I'll tell you why. Don't ask me why. Maybe a girl can
be pushed around only so long. Maybe she can be pushed around all her
life like a mop. Maybe she can have Crystal. There was much time.
Kill me. You've got to tell me. Ah, there's nothing he
can do anymore. You know, my boyfriend had landon. Know how many
kinds of als he is? He wouldn't bet on this race only because I
was supposed to persuade poor little Victor loose. He didn't trust either of us
that far. He's got another yammick. What you know? He owned two
did a great a few months deck Yes, I know, cleaned him from
Dad Mack in time. Now, poor old Pete broke down, so Ed
nerved him. He nerved him, took out the nerve in his sore leg,
so he couldn't feel anything when he ran. Nice, Oh what happens
to the horse? Nothing for a while at one another race with him.
Then he let Dad claim him back. That's your while the leg begins to
die. And sooner or later, if you run the horse, one leg
will cross in front of the other in a race. What happens to the
junk here? I don't know. He's not trying to win. The horse
might not even fall, but he's out front with the whole pack behind him.
Great dandy does vic note about the horses leg? Nobody knows stept me
and dig head and now you. But Dade would didn't he? That's why
he wouldn't run. The horse kept telling Victor hold him back even in the
workout. Must have been nice for him, knowing Pete had to die money
money horses on hearing the starting gate, and you can't do anything about it.
Too late, much, too late, crystol. What happened the night
Dad was killed? I told you enough, I told you too much.
Did he come to the club that night looking for Clymon? Did he came
there? That's all I know. I don't know a thing more. That's
all I know. That's enough. What's allow? Race? Ready to go?
Crystal? Are you so you've been talking and I didn't say anything about
that? Honestly, I didn't get up too late, Clymon, I'm way
too late. You want to see the racer in the gate just a minute
away. I want you to hear this, Clymon. Anyone that would kill
a horse would have to figure on killing the horses owner tool or get killed
himself. I can't. I got kicked by his own horse. Everybody knows
that you expected dad to show up when he found out you'll nerve just horse,
and you were ready for him. I never saw it. He already
know you shut up, Chris, Oh trick clinman tying horse you on a
baseball bat makes it look like a man's been kicked by a horse, doesn't
It must have been quite a job getting dead back to the stables. But
then you're a big man. That's a big listen, templar. This doesn't
add up to anything. But you're just trying to make trouble for me.
You know, if it's just a question of money, money, money,
money, don't you know, honey, you haven't got that money. You
shut up, you know, Climan. I'm getting a little tired listening to
you say. Shut up. Go for the track police lois with your own
pleasure. Mister must be hidy like they're using an allie. But there isn't
time, is that. I just stay where you are. I'm getting you

But how will I act? Don't worry any When the time comes, a
girl always knows how to act. He thinks that this is the time.
This is the time. Annie, Good luck to both of you. You

Modern Crime. Now Here is our star, Tom Conway. Ladies and gentlemen.
In our cast, you had Janet Waldo's Annie and Jean Tatum as Crystal.
Jack Moyle's played and Sam Edwards Vic and Poor Richards l. All Freeze
was Big ed Louis is played by Larry Dobkin. This is Tom Conway inviting
you to join us again next week at our new time for another exciting adventure
of the Saint. Good Night. The script of The Saint was written by
Dick Powell. The Saint, based on characters created by Leslie Chatteris, is
the James L. Safire production and is directed by Helen Mack. Tom Conway
as soon to be seen in Warner Brothers production of Gold Diggers in Las Vegas.
All Your Saints fans will be glad to know that the Saint comic books

Silver Jubilee on NBC beginning next Sunday, July First, The Saint moves to
a new time on most NBC stations. Yes, beginning next Sunday, you'll
hear The Saint thirty minutes earlier at four o'clock Eastern time. Next Sunday,
at this hour, a new show joined your NBC lineup of top mystery programs,
Martin Kane Private Eye, starring Lloyd Nolan, and here he is one
of Hollywood's finest actors. Lloyd Nolan, Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
Here is your invitation to join me as Martin Kane Private Eye, my new
role on this station, beginning Sunday, July first. Here Lloyd Nolan as
Martin Kane Private Eye at this same time beginning next Sunday. This is NBC,
the National Broadcasting Company. This is Andrew J. Graham, author of
the web surface series Oh and a Man's Wife. You're listening to the great
detectives of all time Radio Welcome back. Well, some very good guest performances,
and overall I thought a very well drawn story. The mystery wasn't so
much, but the drama I think was pretty engaging. In terms of the
guest cast, Janet Waldo, I don't know if we've had her on the
program before, but Janet Waldo was best remembered during the Golden Age of radio
for playing the lead on CBS's Meet Cordless Archer She also starred in Young Love,
which was a favorite of my wife and Oz. We listened to all
that's left of that particular series. It wasn't hugely popular, but we liked
it. And she's most famously known as the voice of Judy Jetson, though
she's had such a very career, and she's one of the few radio actresses
who is still a living from the golden era. In her mid Night Andyes
Now now, we turn to some listener comments and feedback, and Lourie writes
regarding the Children's Crusade, I enjoyed Tom Conway and just about everything and this
is not any different in this episode. The storylines line sounds so familiar.
Do you know what other series use this same story? I don't over radio.
It may have been some television show. But if there was a plot
like this that we've played, I've forgotten. That's certainly possible. We've done
one thousand, six hundred plus episodes now and so I could forget a storyline
here or there. But I actually thought the Children's Crusade was pretty much an
original plot to the same. But if any listener remembers otherwise, be sure
and let me know. And I will correct myself. Thanks so much,
Lorie, and then we have a question from Eli, who sends in an
emails as First, I want to say that I love the show. I've
been a longtime fan of detective novels in film noir, but I never really
realized how extensive the detective genre was explored through radio. I must admit I've
come to prefer the purely audio experience of enjoying these stories, especially the Saint
with Vincent Price, Philip Marlow, and Pat Novak. I've taken to writing
a script for a satire on the genre, and I'm very curious to learn
more about the music that was used for these shows. Do you know anything
about the sources of the soundtracks? Are these jazz standards appropriated for the radio
stories or were they specific specifically recorded. Do you happen to have a list
of musicians or tracks? Is there somewhere to purchase a CD that is specifically
the soundtrack to these shows? Any information would be very helpful and appreciated.
To keep up the great work. It's wonderful to know that the world is
populated with people dedicated to niche interests, especially when they overlap with my own
and do you ever listen to Garrison Keeler's Guy nor Private Eye? It's a
satire through back to the genre, but quite entertaining. Um well, an
answer to the question, it really varied. Most of the radio programs did
use their own original theme music, particularly you'll hear ones that listed composer The
Saint used a version of the theme that particularly the NBC version really used one
that was based on what had been in the film. There were a wide
variety of different approaches. You'll have orchestral themes, organ themes, and on
NBC. You probably saw when you listen to MBC radio detective shows of the
nineteen fifties. They generally kept a different like overall theme music they would play,
but when it came to the incidentals and the bridges, pretty much one
detective show was the same as the other. It really got very standardized.
Unfortunately, I am not aware of a CD having been made of the various
types of themes, though I did think about doing in a special just a
theme music episode might be might be interesting just to hear all the different programs
we've done in their themes back to back, though many of them were quite
short in terms of the overall theme music. I have not not really a
big listener to the Prairie Home Companion. I think I listened to one episode
back in two thousand and then. I've caught little bits of it on those
few ocasions i've been out and about, though I haven't necessarily thought of it.
I have heard the kind of radio drama routines going on on there.
But at any rate, good luck to you with your writing. Thanks so
much for writing in to appreciate your kind words. Now, one other question
I was asked as listener wanted to know how many episodes we have in the
Tom Conway era. And while Tom Conway actually recorded twenty two episodes of The
Saint only six of them are in existence, So that means we actually only
have three more episodes of the Saints. So coming in four weeks it's Michael
Shane Private Detective with Wally Mayre. Now for those of you who are unfamiliar
with with Michael Shane, and this kind of returns to the listener support campaign,
which you can support through support dot Great Detectives dot net if you're in
the US or Canada with a donation of fifty dollars or more. I can,
at your request send you a copy of The Michael Shane Mysteries Volume one,
featuring four films starring Lloyd Nolan, who you just heard recording the ad
for Martin Kane. And that is with a donation of fifty dollars or more
in addition to receiving one of seven ebooks and access to the premium site.
