First, most of the passengers were asleep, but 21 00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:27.120 the rough weather was giving the man on the seat 22 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:30.560 beside me a rough time, although the plane had leveled 23 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.920 off his dinner, still trying to gain altitude among other things, 24 00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:36.239 he complained to kill So I slipped on my top 25 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:37.799 coat threw it around his shoulders. 26 00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:40.879 Oh thanks, I'm sorry to beat, said to bother. 27 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.959 Oh, I think I'll try a drink of water. 28 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:47.680 Okay, I'll post of the steward public. 29 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:48.959 He's up forward. 30 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.560 Maybe they walked back too far.

Inside it was 191 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.200 teacher and quie for the officer in charge of the robbery, 192 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:47.279 with which I was concerned. 193 00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:50.080 I was led to an inspector carew First he gave 194 00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:52.399 me a cup of tea, Then they gave me my lumps. 195 00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:55.480 Mister Dollar, you sit here and ask me why we 196 00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:56.519 haven't done something. 197 00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:56.799 Believe me. 198 00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:59.799 Third, the yard is not as archaic as it's architecture. 199 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.159 There's a simple legal procedure which must occur before we 200 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:06.399 can make either an investigation or an arrest. Well, a 201 00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:09.200 complaint must be lodged by the legal owners of any 202 00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:10.120 stolen property. 203 00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:11.320 At that point, and. 204 00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:13.639 At that point only, are we allowed to act. 205 00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:15.120 You mean nobody called for help. 206 00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:18.080 Well, naturally, when the museum discovered the painting gown, they 207 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.679 immediately rang us up. We went to court to gather 208 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:23.399 primary evidence. Unfortunately there was none. 209 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:25.480 Well, what about the owners of the painting the museum 210 00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:28.000 in Paris? As yet we've heard nothing. We expect to 211 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.759 momentarily inspector just out of curiosity.

When the world would a young lady 225 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:09.639 like miss Hardy come into such information? 226 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:19.440 That Inspector Carew is exactly what I'm driving at.

Yeah, 247 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:27.240 a couple of good things about the buzzbombs. Though nobody 248 00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:29.639 aims them at you personally, and nobody was at the 249 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:30.440 wheel to steer them. 250 00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:38.480 That made it official. 251 00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:40.440 I had been set up for a pigeon, and it 252 00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:42.600 was me. Somebody had tried to turn into a seagull 253 00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:45.639 during that flight across the Atlantic. Expends the count that 254 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.960 of five three pound ten to bell Boy for services rented? 255 00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:52.000 How about that fourteen bucks for a bottle of Scotch? 256 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:55.320 And I threw forty winks that felt like only twenty. 257 00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:57.879 And I grabbed a shower, shave and a cab down 258 00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:00.960 Oxford Street and over to Soo expected count out of 259 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.519 six five shillings the legal lemon on. 260 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:06.279 The price of dinner in England these days. I ate 261 00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:08.240 a nice place called Keetnits. 262 00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:10.639 Dinner being a bit of chicken, three choices of vegetables, 263 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:15.039 Brussels sprout spoiled, Brussels sprouts creamed, and Brussels sprout's roasted. 264 00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:17.480 But as there, I looked at the names and addresses 265 00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:20.159 of Miss Harding's two candidates for the boys most likely 266 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:22.879 to have succeeded in swiping the missing portrait of the 267 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:23.639 Duke of Masson. 268 00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:25.639 I was in the right district for one of them. 269 00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:29.759 I found myself on a dark and lonely muse. 270 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:32.120 That may sound good to you, but in soho a 271 00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:34.360 muse is still only a place fit for ash cans 272 00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:36.759 and cats. I broke my way up the stairs of 273 00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:38.879 the address, the number one boorn on Miss Harding's list, 274 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:42.840 and a top step. I was breathing hard and I 275 00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:46.679 wasn't all from the climb. Bunched my teeth, my knuckles 276 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:52.799 and knocked on the door. Then I broke roll to 277 00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:55.240 the basic constructions for the working snoop. 278 00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:59.759 I opened the door that flock number went to Yale. 279 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:03.039 The door of a wood. 280 00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:05.960 Burning stove across the room was open, the flames erratically 281 00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:08.559 painting the walls the orange light, then erasing them back 282 00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:12.960 into black darkness. I finally dared to breeze. Then I saw, 283 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:14.960 when I was looking for, lying on a table, his 284 00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:17.960 edges curled upwards, an oil painting of a guy with 285 00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:21.440 short breeches and a long face. I started forward with 286 00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:26.279 something bred my foot. I stared down at the floor 287 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.360 in front of me. First it was pitch flak. Then 288 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:30.000 the light from the stove flared up, and I saw 289 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:32.519 that the object was what I thought it was, and 290 00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:35.799 the folks it wasn't a man wearing his head and 291 00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:37.639 I don't mean his hair pour. 292 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:41.000 It in the middle. I rushed across the room, slipping 293 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:42.559 off the top of the stove. More light. 294 00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:44.200 We look for a telephone. There was none in the 295 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:45.639 room of the corps, so I tried the door of 296 00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.360 the next road, and the door I was trying started erupting. 297 00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:06.679 In just a moment, we'll turn to the second act 298 00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:09.639 of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar. But first we want to 299 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:13.240 remind you that those delightful, charming neighbors, Ozzy and Harriet, 300 00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.320 are coming back home next Sunday night, coming back to CBS. 301 00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:18.720 You'll be able to join them on most of these 302 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:19.840 same stations. 303 00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:21.320 At six point thirty Eastern Standard time. 304 00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:24.840 Just before the Jack Benny Show. Ozzie and Harriet now 305 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:27.720 have their own sons, Ricky and David, playing themselves in 306 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:31.679 place of the young actors who formerly portrayed them.

When those bullets came crashing 311 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:54.200 through the door at me, I dropped to the floor. 312 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:56.399 Still don't know whether my knees buckled or I meant 313 00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:58.840 to go down and stayed where I was. But whoever 314 00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:00.039 it was on the other side of that door, I 315 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:02.960 decided to take off out the window. I got my feet, 316 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.039 but by the time I kicked the door got to 317 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:07.559 the window, I had that old mother Hubbard feeling.
