I'm g Marshall. 2 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,519 Speaker 2: The poets claim it's love that makes the world go round. 3 00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:32,079 That's a beautiful conceit, and we should let them enjoy it. However, 4 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,840 practical people know better. Sensible people know what really makes 5 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:37,560 the world. 6 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 1: Go round, and that's money.

Is that why you're here? 16 00:01:14,879 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 2: No, that is not why I have come to Yes, 17 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,799 I have come to place you under arrest. 18 00:01:22,599 --> 00:01:25,359 Speaker 4: Unrest, Miss Morale Wilson. 19 00:01:25,359 --> 00:01:29,159 Speaker 2: You are charged with spying against the government of the 20 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,359 Confederate States of America, and it is my duty to 21 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:45,439 conduct you to a place of court martial. Our mystery 22 00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:50,280 drama Solid Gold Soldiers was written especially for the Mystery 23 00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:55,040 theater by Sam Dan and stars Michael Wager and E. V. Jester. 24 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,840 It is sponsored in part by a Bwick Motor Division. 25 00:01:59,519 --> 00:02:12,680 I'll be there shortly with Act one. No war in 26 00:02:12,719 --> 00:02:16,000 our history has the power to fire the imagination, as 27 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,360 does the Civil. 28 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 4: War, or, if you will, the War. 29 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:20,719 Speaker 1: Between the States. 30 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 2: Obviously, that's because it was our very old war. 31 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,439 Speaker 1: It belonged to us and to nobody else. 32 00:02:28,199 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 2: Professional and amateur historians keep fighting and refighting it constantly. 33 00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:35,960 If Grant had done this, or if Lee had done that, 34 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,319 or if Longstreet or Jackson or Hood had only done 35 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,919 something else. We're obsessed with the battles, the great bloody 36 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:49,680 battles Donaldson, Vicksburg, Gettysburg, the Wilderness. But there were greater, 37 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,919 more important, more decisive battles, the battles in which not 38 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,759 one drop of blood was shed, Battles which did not 39 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,919 occur on the open field. We're in Charleston, South Carolina. 40 00:03:04,439 --> 00:03:07,360 It is the beginning of the year eighteen sixty three. 41 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 4: Ah, mister Burton, please be seated. 42 00:03:10,599 --> 00:03:14,719 Speaker 5: Thank you, devilish wheather are there?

So have you 48 00:03:26,599 --> 00:03:29,879 examined the list? Yes, indeed, each and every item. You 49 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,759 must admit it would be quite a windfall for the 50 00:03:31,759 --> 00:03:34,120 merchants and manufacturers you represent in Great Britain. 51 00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 5: Windfall, that's, my soldier. How can you call it a windfall? 52 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 2: Look at the prices we offer you for the necessities 53 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,719 of life and the sinews of war. 54 00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:46,039 Speaker 5: Which brings us to the matter of payments. 55 00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:49,199 Speaker 4: I thought we had agreed. We are pledging our cotton corp. 56 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,639 Speaker 5: Yes, the most treasures and the valuable commodity, several million 57 00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:56,159 DALs of cotton the big godsend to the mills of England. 58 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,199 There is, however, one small difficulty difficult. 59 00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: Oh come, Colonel Colfax. 60 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 5: You know as well as I do the nature of 61 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,479 the difficulty. You also pleasures last year's cop. 62 00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 4: And it's yours. It belongs to you, not while. 63 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 5: It sits and drops on the ducks of Charleston. 64 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,879 Speaker 2: We are planning a free of blockade destroyers. Is that 65 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,639 the Federals control the seas? Now I have been instructed 66 00:04:21,639 --> 00:04:25,319 by my principles to insist in direct payment. Very well, 67 00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:26,720 we shall pay you in cash. 68 00:04:26,879 --> 00:04:29,439 Speaker 5: But I hope you understand, colonel by cash we do 69 00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:31,560 not mean paper. 70 00:04:31,439 --> 00:04:34,959 Speaker 2: Sir, you impunely honor the Confederate States of America. 71 00:04:35,079 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 5: I'm only saying, Colonel, is no offense that anyone can 72 00:04:37,879 --> 00:04:40,839 set up a press and print money. I consider that 73 00:04:40,879 --> 00:04:45,920 an insult, fair me or melodrama. We cannot accept your paper. 74 00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 2: Money, which is another way of saying you have no 75 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,120 faith in our government. 76 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 5: He is too fragile to stand alone. It usually requires 77 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,439 a pedestal, and one made of gold is alls best. 78 00:04:58,720 --> 00:04:59,759 Speaker 2: But we are winning. 79 00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 4: We won the battle to bull run Chancellor of Fredericksburg. 80 00:05:03,319 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: Fortunately you have not won any lately. 81 00:05:06,399 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 2: Well, it's no secret that Lee is planning an offensive 82 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,120 into the north, into Pennsylvania. 83 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 4: We do not consider that a wise maneuver. 84 00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 2: It is not for foreigner to determine the tactics and 85 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,360 strategy of our war. 86 00:05:16,519 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 5: But you see, colonel, it is our war. Also, we 87 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,040 already are heavily invested, and you are asking us to 88 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,319 support you further.

Well, if you're a 202 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,399 bandit or a burglar, I warn you I'm armed. 203 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,639 Speaker 1: Anyway, let us find. 204 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:55,279 Speaker 3: Out good evening. That's my soul, It's it's Mariah. Will 205 00:11:55,759 --> 00:11:56,519 May I come in. 206 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: Give me the while olders on her? 207 00:12:00,919 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 6: May I ask you to put down the revolver. Firearms 208 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,120 have always made me nervous. 209 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,039 Speaker 5: I confess they make me somewhat nervous as well. But 210 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,240 once again, to what do I owe this honor? 211 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 3: I came here because I am curious. 212 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 6: Curious, Yes, I should like to know your name. 213 00:12:21,159 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 5: Or to know my name, or perhaps you've forgotten I'm 214 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,360 Alexander Burton, nursing. 215 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 3: That's the discrepancy. You are not Alexander Burton. 216 00:12:31,759 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 6: Agent for the Great Britain Commercial and Manufacturing Group. 217 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,279 Speaker 5: Now, my dear young lady, how can you possibly say that? 218 00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 2: Well? 219 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 6: I have two reasons. First, you're not an englishman. Oh 220 00:12:43,759 --> 00:12:47,639 your accent sounds authentic, but it's a stage accent and 221 00:12:47,799 --> 00:12:54,279 not the genuine article. Second, I know Alexander Burton. I 222 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,759 met him when I played in London some years ago. 223 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: Oh well, oh well. 224 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 3: Yes, mister Burton. 225 00:13:01,879 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 1: And what else do you have to say to me, 226 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:06,440 missus Wilson. 227 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 6: I don't know what your endeavor is exactly, but I 228 00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:14,679 am announcing to you the fact that you now have 229 00:13:15,519 --> 00:13:22,960 an a oartner, yes, a partner, a silent. 230 00:13:22,759 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: Pot, a silent spop. 231 00:13:26,799 --> 00:13:31,519 Speaker 5: I'm also a dead otner, a very rash young woman, 232 00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:34,960 miss Whitton, and I'm afraid it must. 233 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 2: Cost you your life. Well, who is mister Burton? Evidently 234 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,240 he is not as advertised. We know, Mariah Wilson is 235 00:13:48,279 --> 00:13:52,320 a famous actress of the day, but obviously she's also. 236 00:13:52,039 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: A little more than that. 237 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 2: Right now, she's looking into the muzzle of this gentleman's revolver. 238 00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: He may shoot her, he may not. 239 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 2: Just what he does decide will be revealed in a 240 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:17,240 few moments when I return with that too. In time 241 00:14:17,279 --> 00:14:21,399 of war, all other things being equal, a rich army 242 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,000 will usually beat a poor army. An army travels on 243 00:14:25,039 --> 00:14:29,080 its stomach, which means it needs food. And it also 244 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,000 travels on its feet, which means it needs shoes, and 245 00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:35,879 it needs a great many other things too, And these 246 00:14:35,879 --> 00:14:40,399 are things only money can buy. The Confederate States is 247 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,120 raising what was for those days a huge sum of gold. 248 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 4: But where is it going now? 249 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,159 Speaker 3: Mister Burton? You see I still call you mister Burton. 250 00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:53,679 You know you can't kill me? 251 00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:54,519 Speaker 1: Why not? 252 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,159 Speaker 6: Before I came here, I made my plans known to 253 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,120 a friend. If anything should occur, that fame will notify 254 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,000 the proper site. 255 00:15:03,759 --> 00:15:09,279 Speaker 5: You're bluffing, call it call the tree well. 256 00:15:10,759 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: Where bless us all? You are a spunky young woman. 257 00:15:14,799 --> 00:15:19,519 Speaker 6: And now, mister Bittan, how did you achieve your present position? 258 00:15:20,039 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: Oh? 259 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:25,159 Speaker 5: That it was a succession of events. I happened to 260 00:15:25,159 --> 00:15:28,320 be in Liverpool on business, what sort of whatever sort 261 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,000 of business. 262 00:15:28,759 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: Might come up? 263 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:29,879 Speaker 3: I see? 264 00:15:30,159 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 5: And where it was late at night and I was 265 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,440 returning to my lodgings when I I saw a well 266 00:15:36,519 --> 00:15:40,559 dressed man walking up the street. Suddenly two mean looking 267 00:15:40,559 --> 00:15:42,320 fellows jumped on him and started. 268 00:15:42,039 --> 00:15:44,519 Speaker 1: To beat him. There were thieves, of course, we're after. 269 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 5: His money leads to his own trade. I always say 270 00:15:48,159 --> 00:15:51,879 I had no mind to interfere. But they happened to 271 00:15:51,919 --> 00:15:57,159 see me and became frightened, and they just ran away. 272 00:15:57,879 --> 00:16:02,519 Oh oh, I said, And I'll just lie easy, said, Hey, 273 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:03,559 I'll call for help. 274 00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:08,159 Speaker 1: I'll get you my head. My head did strike you 275 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,879 a nasty blow too. I must I must get back 276 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,000 back to the ship. No, no, no, don't try to get. 277 00:16:13,919 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 5: Up the worse thing for a blow in the old noggin. 278 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,159 Speaker 1: Ah, just rece the name. 279 00:16:18,799 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 5: My name is Burton, Alexander Burton.

I'm dying. 283 00:16:31,559 --> 00:16:32,159 Speaker 8: I'm dying. 284 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,799 Speaker 1: I live just a few doors up the street. You 285 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,360 can lie down and I can go for a doctor. 286 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,519 Speaker 4: No, no, get me, get me to the ship it sailed. 287 00:16:41,159 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: Get me cool. Well, he was in no condition to 288 00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:49,960 go anywhere. 289 00:16:50,679 --> 00:16:52,639 Speaker 5: So I got him into my room somehow and stretch 290 00:16:52,679 --> 00:16:53,480 him out on the couch. 291 00:16:54,279 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: I hope will be a gift in it for me. 292 00:16:56,279 --> 00:16:59,159 You know.

You shall have 544 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,039 to get rid of this Burton fellow. 545 00:30:20,279 --> 00:30:23,599 Speaker 6: Why John thet him take the gold? We can have 546 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,839 the blockade squadron cat to him at sea. 547 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 5: Look, he'll be flying a British flag, which means we 548 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,079 can only board him inside the territorial limits. Suppose, by 549 00:30:32,079 --> 00:30:35,119 some lucky chance, he sneaks past the blockade. What if 550 00:30:35,119 --> 00:30:37,480 we're forced to capture him on the high seas we 551 00:30:37,559 --> 00:30:40,599 have no right to board a British ship in international water. 552 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,759 Speaker 6: Then we must forst the rebels to use one of 553 00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:44,319 their own blockade runners. 554 00:30:44,359 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 5: The problem remains how to get rid of this Burton 555 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:48,720 or whatever his name is. 556 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,759 Speaker 3: I can do that, how just leave the details to me. 557 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,759 I'm an actress. But that's only half the job. 558 00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,759 Speaker 6: When they get rid of him and decide to use 559 00:30:59,799 --> 00:31:03,319 their own vessel, we need someone on board that ship. 560 00:31:03,519 --> 00:31:07,599 Speaker 5: That will be truly impossible, Mariah. Every member of that 561 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:08,880 crew will be a picked man. 562 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,079 Speaker 3: I could get on board that ship. 563 00:31:11,519 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 5: You could, Oh, well, how could you possibly hold? 564 00:31:15,319 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 8: I know? 565 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,839 Speaker 6: Colonel Oliver Kofax. I know how he feels, how he thinks. 566 00:31:20,359 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 3: I know a way to get on board. 567 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,839 Speaker 6: Oh, they can always use a cabin boy, I need 568 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:27,480 little luck. 569 00:31:27,799 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 5: But could you actually disguise yourself. 570 00:31:31,359 --> 00:31:35,359 Speaker 6: I could try that. Choose a dark knight that have 571 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,000 a fast shipping. They might be able to steal past 572 00:31:39,079 --> 00:31:39,839 the squadron. 573 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,359 Speaker 3: That if I can get on board with one of. 574 00:31:42,279 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 6: Those new pistols that fire a bright light into the sky, Yes, a. 575 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,799 Speaker 2: Flare, a flair, Yes, it would be like a flash 576 00:31:50,839 --> 00:31:51,480 of daylight. 577 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 6: The blockaded squadron would see the ship immediately. They could 578 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,000 brow it right out of the water. 579 00:31:57,279 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: Mariah, you will be on that ship. 580 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 6: But John, somebody has to make sure the navy catches 581 00:32:03,759 --> 00:32:04,680 sight of that blockade. 582 00:32:04,759 --> 00:32:08,319 Speaker 3: Runner. Somebody has to make noise, or fire a flair 583 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:09,160 or do something. 584 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 6: And if that somebody has to be me, well, I 585 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:18,119 can only tell you that gold must never get to England. 586 00:32:23,599 --> 00:32:26,039 Speaker 1: Well, Colonel, tonight is the great event. 587 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 5: Yes, and it looks like favorable time too.

Do you 642 00:34:45,159 --> 00:34:46,079 believe her story? 643 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,199 Speaker 4: I don't know what to believe. 644 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 2: Where is mister Burton now? 645 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:51,199 Speaker 4: Under God? 646 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:56,119 Speaker 2: It's an awkward situation, Colonel, but it can't be helped. 647 00:34:56,519 --> 00:34:59,000 May I suggest sir that someone who knows Burton, someone 648 00:34:59,039 --> 00:35:00,719 who has dealt with him before, should come to. 649 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 4: Charleston and settle the matter. 650 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,639 Speaker 2: Then you do suspect him, Colonel So I know this. 651 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,239 The last preserves, the last resources of our country are 652 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:11,199 being entrusted. 653 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 4: To a gentleman who may or may not be who 654 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:13,599 he says he is. 655 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 2: For his documents, his instructions all seem to be in 656 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,079 perfect order. His documents may have been stolen the real 657 00:35:20,119 --> 00:35:23,719 mister Burton. If so, the real mister Burton is probably dead. 658 00:35:24,159 --> 00:35:28,599 Ah Breaconridge. Breckenridge has dealt with the real mister Burton 659 00:35:28,679 --> 00:35:29,440 in London. 660 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 5: But sir mister Breckinridge is in Richmond. For I know, 661 00:35:33,119 --> 00:35:34,880 and we stand to lose valuable term. 662 00:35:35,639 --> 00:35:37,800 Speaker 2: We must have the equipment within the month of its 663 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,960 to do generally any good. Mister President, may I suggest 664 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,519 that we ship a Goa to England in one of 665 00:35:42,559 --> 00:35:44,960 our own vessels. We run the risk it could be 666 00:35:45,079 --> 00:35:46,159 captured on the high see. 667 00:35:46,199 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 5: How we also take the risk that a British blockade 668 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,920 runner could be boorted before it leave the territorial waters. Yes, yes, 669 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,960 but once in international waters the British flag protects her. 670 00:35:56,559 --> 00:35:58,559 Speaker 1: However, the crew of most of. 671 00:35:58,599 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 2: These vessels are basically privateers, which is a polite name 672 00:36:02,639 --> 00:36:06,679 for pirates. Well, they know they have gold aboard. It 673 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,239 could be too tempting, then why and trust its valuable 674 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,280 cargo to strangers. In any event, we must use one 675 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:24,239 of our own craft. Yes, come in, well, my lad, 676 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:25,039 what can I do for you? 677 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:26,079 Speaker 3: Sir? 678 00:36:27,559 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 4: Oh, sir, speak up, sons, speak up and step inside. 679 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 3: Well, sir, I wish to sign on the Dixie. 680 00:36:37,199 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 2: This cabin boy, cabin boy, while you're too young to 681 00:36:41,039 --> 00:36:42,079 I'm almost thirteen. 682 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:44,360 Speaker 4: What do you know about the Dixie? 683 00:36:44,639 --> 00:36:47,119 Speaker 3: Well, everybody knows she's gonna run the blockade tonight. 684 00:36:47,519 --> 00:36:52,159 Speaker 4: What do you mean everybody?
