1
00:00:08,359 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 1: The Avenger.

2
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 2: The road to crime ends in a trap that, just

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:01:40,640
as sets, crime, does not pay. The Avenger, sworn enemy

4
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,200
of evil, is actually Jim Brandon, a famous biochemist. Through

5
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,719
his numerous scientific experiments, Brandon has perfected two inventions to

6
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,359
aid him and his crusade against crime as the Avenger,

7
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,359
the telepathic indicator by which he is able to pick

8
00:01:53,439 --> 00:01:57,079
up thought flashes, and the secret diffusion capsule, which quoats

9
00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:00,560
him in the black light of invisibility. Brandon's assistance, the

10
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,159
beautiful Fern Collier, is the only one who shares his

11
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,400
secrets and knows that he is the man the underworld

12
00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:11,360
fears as the Avenger. And now the Avenger and the

13
00:02:11,439 --> 00:02:12,479
melody of murder.

14
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:30,199
Speaker 3: Hawkins, Hawkins, Yes, miss carl go into the music room

15
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,520
and see how much longer that piano tunor is going

16
00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:32,879
to take?

17
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:33,719
Speaker 4: Oh?

18
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 5: That infernal noise.

19
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 3: Is getting on my nerves, Yes, madam, Oh what Hawkins?

20
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 5: Has mister Carlton come in yet?

21
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 6: Not yet, missus Carleton.

22
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:43,159
Speaker 3: Well, the moment he comes in, tell him that I

23
00:02:43,199 --> 00:02:45,280
wish to see him. I should be waiting here in

24
00:02:45,319 --> 00:02:47,840
the library. Now, see if you can get rid of

25
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:48,719
that piano tuner.

26
00:02:48,919 --> 00:03:00,479
Speaker 6: Yes, missus. Carlon har has told me you wanted to

27
00:03:00,479 --> 00:03:01,199
see me, Rena.

28
00:03:01,479 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 5: Oh, yes, George, I'd like.

29
00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 4: To talk to you. Oh say, who's at that piano.

30
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,039
Speaker 5: The piano tuner? He should be finished any moment.

31
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,879
Speaker 7: Well, I'll close that mute room door that rackets off.

32
00:03:12,199 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 5: No, leave it open, George.

33
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 3: There are a lot of valuables in there, and the

34
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,360
servants are busy in the back of the house.

35
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 4: Well, all right, Well.

36
00:03:22,479 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 5: To get down to business, George.

37
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 3: Yes, were you able to persuade those partners of yours

38
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,719
to lend you enough money to see you through?

39
00:03:29,199 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 6: No, Rena, Berlin, Game and Redford both refuse to help me.

40
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 5: They're trying to squeeze you out. George.

41
00:03:35,759 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 3: I always knew they would. I told you from the

42
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,240
beginning that they were just using you. Well, what are

43
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:42,879
you going to do?

44
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 6: And I won't let them get away with this? Rina.

45
00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:48,319
You know, I've put everything we had into that firm.

46
00:03:48,479 --> 00:03:49,919
Speaker 3: But where in the world are you going to get

47
00:03:49,919 --> 00:03:51,599
the money to cover up your end of the losses.

48
00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 7: There's only one way. I hate to ask you to

49
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,400
do it, Rena, but well you'll just have to sell

50
00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:04,240
your jewels. I you no only chance to sell me.

51
00:04:04,639 --> 00:04:06,919
Speaker 5: George, I will not let you have those.

52
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,319
Speaker 3: Jewels, Hi, the role I have left, I.

53
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 5: Won't allow you to think them in a bad investment.

54
00:04:12,199 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 4: I don't think you understand just how desperate this situation is.

55
00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 3: I understand, all right. I warned you from the beginning

56
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,480
about Red Burd and Berlin Game. Hi, They're no better

57
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:25,279
than common swindlers. I'm tired of their shady deals. Million

58
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:25,879
dollars scheen.

59
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,519
Speaker 7: Really, you seem to like them well enough when the

60
00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:30,560
men of money was rolling in, and now suddenly, just

61
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,639
because they happened to guess wrong on a few investments.

62
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:35,439
Speaker 5: Like few investments that were big enough to ruin us.

63
00:04:35,399 --> 00:04:39,639
Speaker 6: We can still pull through if if you'll just be sensible.

64
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,319
Speaker 7: Rena, let me raise alone on your jewels.

65
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 3: And I told you that I won't let you touch

66
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:45,560
those jewels.

67
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,879
Speaker 7: I've got to have them if you won't lend them

68
00:04:47,879 --> 00:04:50,399
to me then, and I'm afraid I'll just have to

69
00:04:50,439 --> 00:04:50,879
take them.

70
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:54,199
Speaker 5: George, guge you can't mean.

71
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 6: That there's no other way.

72
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 5: There has to be a way.

73
00:04:57,319 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 3: I'm not going to let you make paupers if your

74
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,600
wife and children, I tell you, I won't stand by.

75
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 4: Rina.

76
00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:10,759
Speaker 2: Oh you you shouldn't Rina.

77
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 5: George, George, what happened?

78
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 6: Hawkins?

79
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,439
Speaker 8: Honkins, help George.

80
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 5: It's my husband. He's been shot. Get a doctor, Hawkins quickly, let.

81
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,319
Speaker 9: Me see oh snow used to get a doctor, Madama,

82
00:05:26,759 --> 00:05:29,759
I think i'd better call the piece the police. Yes,

83
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,879
from the look of the revolver on the floor, this

84
00:05:32,079 --> 00:05:33,759
was either suicide or murder.

85
00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 3: Oh fern Callier, Dear, it was good of you to come.

86
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 10: Missus Carlton. I brought a friend of mine to help you.

87
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,000
This is Jim Brandon, Missus Carlton.

88
00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:05,439
Speaker 3: Mister Brandon, Mister Brandon, I am innocent, but we can

89
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:06,160
never prove it.

90
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 5: The gun everything gott him.

91
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: Friend has known you and your family for a long time,

92
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,000
and she believes you're innocent. If you are, we'll find

93
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:15,680
a way to prove it.

94
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 3: But how why the evidence is all against me, mister Brandon.

95
00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:23,079
Why Sometimes I sit here and miss Sell and wonder

96
00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:27,000
if if I could have fired that gun without knowing

97
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,240
or or remembering anything about it.

98
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:33,079
Speaker 10: Of course you didn't. Suppose you tell Jim exactly what

99
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:35,199
happened and let him handle everything for you.

100
00:06:35,439 --> 00:06:38,759
Speaker 2: Yes, this's gotten. Tell me the truth. That is one

101
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,000
weapon that is stronger than any kind of evidence.

102
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:46,519
Speaker 5: Yes, well, where shall I begin, mister Brandon.

103
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:50,079
Speaker 2: First of all, Hawkins, your butler, testify that you and

104
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,480
your husband were quarreling just prior to the shooting.

105
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,319
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, that's true, mister Brandon. We were quarreling violently

106
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,000
over money. My husband's firm had made a bad investment.

107
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,879
His uh, his two partners, Martin Burlingame and Paul Redford,

108
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,519
They've been able to cover their losses, but my husband

109
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:08,959
hadn't been.

110
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: In other words, your husband would be forced out of

111
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,199
the firm unless he could put up his share of

112
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:13,600
the losses.

113
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,759
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, that's right, mister Brandon.

114
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: Now about the shooting and the gun, give me the

115
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:19,680
details on that.

116
00:07:19,959 --> 00:07:24,399
Speaker 3: Well, the you see, the truth sounds impossible and stupid.

117
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,560
I can't expect you to believe me.

118
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,079
Speaker 10: We want to believe you. Missus Calton, tell us what happened?

119
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 3: Well, do you see all of a sudden a shot

120
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,199
rang out of me. George sang to the floor. I

121
00:07:38,279 --> 00:07:40,959
ran to him and called for Hawkins, but nothing could

122
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:41,399
be done.

123
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 4: Why then Hawkins noticed the gun on the floor.

124
00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:47,959
Speaker 5: Yes.

125
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 3: I can't understand where the gun came from or how

126
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,720
All I know is that suddenly.

127
00:07:54,519 --> 00:07:55,079
Speaker 5: It was there.

128
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 4: A set of your fingerprints were on that gun, Missus Calton.

129
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 3: Yes, I know, you see, I did a very foolish thing.

130
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,240
I picked it up to examine it. I guess I

131
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:05,319
couldn't believe my eyes.

132
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,439
Speaker 4: Where was Hawkins when you picked up the gun? He says,

133
00:08:08,439 --> 00:08:09,160
he didn't see.

134
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,639
Speaker 5: You do it. Hawkins was telephoning the police. I think.

135
00:08:12,399 --> 00:08:15,600
I oh, mister Brandon, I don't know. Everything became so

136
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:16,680
confessus Carton.

137
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 2: We might as well face the fact that your finger

138
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,360
prints on that gun are conclusive evidence as far as

139
00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:23,360
the police are concerned.

140
00:08:23,399 --> 00:08:24,279
Speaker 5: I know, mister Brandon.

141
00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: Naturally they believe that single set of prints was made

142
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,879
when you fired the gun, not when you picked up

143
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:29,759
the gun to examine it.

144
00:08:30,199 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 3: If only Hawkins had seen me pick up the gun

145
00:08:32,759 --> 00:08:33,519
after the shoot.

146
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 4: But he didn't, so we only have your word for it.

147
00:08:36,639 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 3: I know, I know I can't expect them to believe me,

148
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,759
but I'm telling you the truth, mister Brandon.

149
00:08:42,519 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 5: I swear.

150
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 10: Oh, Missus Carton, please, you've got to be strong so

151
00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:48,159
you can help us prove you're innocent.

152
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:55,399
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, of course, bran Missus Carton, think carefully now,

153
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,159
could anyone have been hidden in that room.

154
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,879
Speaker 3: No, no, mister Brandon, I'm certain of beat. There was

155
00:09:02,919 --> 00:09:05,679
no one there but George and me. The piano tuner

156
00:09:05,759 --> 00:09:06,759
was in the next room.

157
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 4: The piano tuner, yes, I.

158
00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:12,159
Speaker 3: Remember hearing him drumming on the piano just as the

159
00:09:12,159 --> 00:09:14,639
shot was fired, So he couldn't have done it.

160
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 4: What happened to that piano tuner why?

161
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 5: I don't know. I suppose he was frightened by the

162
00:09:19,759 --> 00:09:21,080
shot and just left.

163
00:09:20,919 --> 00:09:22,399
Speaker 4: Or who was he? I'd like to question him.

164
00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 5: I don't know that either, mister Brandon.

165
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 3: He he said that when he arrived that my husband

166
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,840
had hired him, and George was quite a good musician.

167
00:09:29,879 --> 00:09:31,879
Speaker 4: You, Missus Carton, that will be awful.

168
00:09:31,879 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 3: Now tell me, frankly, mister Brandon, do you believe the

169
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,000
story I've just told you.

170
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 4: Yes, I believe you, Missus Caldon.

171
00:09:42,639 --> 00:09:45,399
Speaker 2: I've learned that crime is often quite fantastic in its

172
00:09:45,399 --> 00:09:46,519
effort to outrun the law.

173
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,759
Speaker 5: But can you help me, mister Brandon.

174
00:09:51,399 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 4: I'll do everything I can.

175
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 10: Don't worry, Missus Calton. You're in good hands now. Jim

176
00:09:58,279 --> 00:10:11,360
doesn't believe the perfect cry the exis, Yes.

177
00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 2: Mister Brandon, Carlton's death was a great shock that mister

178
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,600
Redword me upset our business plans completely. Mister Berlin, game,

179
00:10:16,639 --> 00:10:19,320
let's stick to the facts. You and Redford knew Carlton

180
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,639
was broke and you were trying to squeeze him out.

181
00:10:22,279 --> 00:10:24,480
His murder made that easy for you. Now look here, Brandon,

182
00:10:24,519 --> 00:10:26,159
what are you trying to do. I'm trying to get

183
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,279
up the truth of Carton's murder. Well, the police are

184
00:10:28,279 --> 00:10:30,120
convinced that missus Carlton shot her husband.

185
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 4: Not so fast, Burling Game. The state still has to

186
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:33,480
approve that.

187
00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 10: Mister Brandon, and I think Missus Carlton is well.

188
00:10:36,159 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 4: Miss Collier, I'm only repeating what the newspapers say.

189
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,399
Speaker 6: Excuse me say?

190
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,279
Speaker 4: Can't you install that newsticker without making so much noise?

191
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,279
Speaker 2: Okay, what did you say that man's installing to the

192
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,279
newsticker machine?

193
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:49,519
Speaker 4: Redford must avoided it.

194
00:10:49,519 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 2: I didn't know anything about it until this workman came

195
00:10:51,639 --> 00:10:52,600
barging in here with it.

196
00:10:52,759 --> 00:10:54,759
Speaker 10: Mister Redford was like his news hot off the.

197
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 4: Fliers, just another of his crazy ideas. Miss Collier.

198
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 6: Okay, that's good. The machine's ready for you.

199
00:10:59,279 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 4: Now, how do you turn it on?

200
00:11:00,919 --> 00:11:01,039
Speaker 10: All?

201
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,799
Speaker 4: You just turn that control knob on the right. Thank you.

202
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 11: When you hear the gone, that means that the big

203
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,519
news fliers is coming. I'll leave you here to try

204
00:11:09,519 --> 00:11:09,799
it out.

205
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 2: Well, excuse me, and then a Brandon, I'll turn on

206
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,799
this machine and get the news. Since Redford's gone to

207
00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:14,720
all us expensively, you.

208
00:11:14,759 --> 00:11:19,159
Speaker 10: Might as well you were doing, Jim, this interview's are failure.

209
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,159
We haven't learned a thing from Berlin Games.

210
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 4: We haven't finished with him yet, Burne, an.

211
00:11:23,759 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 8: Important use flash is coming over Burley Game, get back.

212
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:44,240
There's a bomb in there. Burn Not at the desk, quite, friend.

213
00:11:44,279 --> 00:11:46,879
Speaker 4: We didn't get here at Redford's apart the time he's gone.

214
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 10: From the condition of this apartment. He certainly left in

215
00:11:49,399 --> 00:11:53,080
a hurry. Jim, I'm certain Redford is on man. He

216
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:55,200
must have killed Cotton and Berlin Game, and now he's

217
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,159
hiding out somewhere.

218
00:11:56,159 --> 00:11:57,919
Speaker 2: Well, since we're here, we might as well have a

219
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,639
look around and let's see. I'll take the closet, you

220
00:12:00,639 --> 00:12:00,960
take the.

221
00:12:00,879 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 4: Desk, Fern.

222
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 10: Okay, but you don't sound as if you expect to

223
00:12:04,279 --> 00:12:05,360
find anything here, Jim.

224
00:12:05,639 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 4: Well, I was hoping to find Redford.

225
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 10: Gosh, it was a lucky thing. For missus Carton. She

226
00:12:10,159 --> 00:12:11,840
was in jail when Berlingang was killed.

227
00:12:12,039 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 2: Yes, that's got the inspector of baffled, because even he

228
00:12:14,759 --> 00:12:16,840
has to admit there must be some connection between the

229
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:17,279
two deaths.

230
00:12:18,159 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 4: Find anything for him?

231
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,279
Speaker 10: Not a thing here, Jim.

232
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,039
Speaker 2: We might as well go to headquarters and report Redford's disappearance.

233
00:12:23,639 --> 00:12:26,639
Speaker 10: Jim, how did you know that explosion was going to

234
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,120
happen in Berlin Gang's office?

235
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,159
Speaker 2: Just after that third gong sounded, I heard a very

236
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,600
light click. I wasn't certain it was a bomb, but

237
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,000
it was no time to take a chance.

238
00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:36,759
Speaker 10: It's a lucky thing for us. We were on the

239
00:12:36,759 --> 00:12:38,399
other side of the room and had time to duck

240
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,799
under the desk. Jim, do you think we should answer

241
00:12:41,799 --> 00:12:42,440
Redford's phone?

242
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 4: By all means here, I'll take it.

243
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:49,399
Speaker 11: Hello Redford, if you don't wanna hang for murder, meet

244
00:12:49,399 --> 00:12:51,279
me in front of the checked room at the Central

245
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,879
Best Termino at four o'clock.

246
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 6: Oh is this? Meet me at four o'clock? That's all?

247
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 4: Hello? Hello?

248
00:12:58,519 --> 00:12:58,799
Speaker 10: Hello?

249
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:01,279
Speaker 4: Uh? He hung up?

250
00:13:02,039 --> 00:13:02,519
Speaker 5: Who was it?

251
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 10: Jims?

252
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I'm beginning to smell a rat fern.

253
00:13:06,519 --> 00:13:09,519
What do you mean if Redford is guilty, he has

254
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,399
an accomplice. If he isn't guilty, someone is trying to

255
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,480
frame him. Or of course, that call could have been

256
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,159
meant for the very man who received it.

257
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 10: Do you think it might have been meant to you?

258
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,240
Jim could be well, what's on next step?

259
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to the central bus terminal to keep a

260
00:13:27,120 --> 00:14:48,000
very interesting appointment for mister Redford.

261
00:14:23,360 --> 00:15:16,279
Speaker 1: Cha and now back to the avenger and the melody

262
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:17,320
of murder.

263
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,679
Speaker 10: This bus terminal was practically deserted. Business can't be very good.

264
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,399
Speaker 2: No lent appearances, food your Fern. I had Inspector White

265
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,759
order the place cleared. The men around here are all

266
00:15:39,799 --> 00:15:43,519
plain clothesmen. Anything may happen here in the next five minutes,

267
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,639
and I'm not taking any chances on innocent bystoun As

268
00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:51,200
getting involved. Now, Fern, I want you to wait in

269
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,960
that music shop over there in the arcade. You'll be

270
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,440
safe there and still able to keep a sharp lookout

271
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:57,799
on the checkroom.

272
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,519
Speaker 10: I'm afraid for you. Don't go, it's too dangs.

273
00:16:01,639 --> 00:16:04,519
Speaker 4: I must keep this appointment. Bern. It's our only chance

274
00:16:04,559 --> 00:16:06,440
of cracking this case and stopping these murders.

275
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 2: Jim, I'll run along. It's almost time. A man of

276
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:11,759
mystery may appear at any moment.

277
00:16:12,279 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 10: Okay, Jim, good luck, now I will Jim.

278
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,799
Speaker 6: Oh, good afternoon, miss. What can I do for you?

279
00:16:22,879 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 10: Why? I'd like to look at one of your record catalogs.

280
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,519
Speaker 6: Please, certainly we have all the latest records. I'll be

281
00:16:27,519 --> 00:16:28,639
glad to play any of them you like.

282
00:16:28,759 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 10: Thank you. I'll look through the list first.

283
00:16:31,279 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 5: Huh oh, yes, sir, did you find what you wanted?

284
00:16:33,559 --> 00:16:36,039
Speaker 11: Yes, I'd like to listen to this record, this Concerto

285
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:36,720
pencer Rosso.

286
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:50,279
Speaker 6: Of course, I'll play it for you. Make it a

287
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:51,679
little louder, please, Yes, sir.

288
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 10: Why that's the workman who was in Berlin games for this.

289
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:03,080
I'd better call Jim. Jim, Jim, come here quick, Jim,

290
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:03,720
are you all right?

291
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 6: Okay, hurry?

292
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,279
Speaker 10: Then there goes on man. He's getting away through the arcade, Jim.

293
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 4: That way you wouldn't happen. Where was that explosure here.

294
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 10: In the check room.

295
00:17:12,039 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 5: The whole place is a shamble, I should say. So

296
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:15,880
I better go and see if anyone over spurt.

297
00:17:25,279 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 4: He got away, Fern. Not a sign of him anywhere.

298
00:17:27,519 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 10: It was the workman that installed a ticker in Berlin

299
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:30,000
Gain's office.

300
00:17:30,079 --> 00:17:33,599
Speaker 2: Jim, Fern, get that record off the machine, Jim, and

301
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:34,279
bring it along.

302
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 10: Why do you need the record, Jim?

303
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:43,799
Speaker 2: That concerto is a melody of murder.

304
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,799
Speaker 4: There that proves it, Fern.

305
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,519
Speaker 10: Nobody touched that gun. What caused it to go off?

306
00:18:04,839 --> 00:18:07,319
Speaker 2: The vibrations of that cord I struck upon the piano.

307
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,799
They released the hair trigger of that gun.

308
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 10: That was the strangest thing I ever saw, Jim. You

309
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,839
just placed that gun on the shelf between two rows

310
00:18:16,839 --> 00:18:19,480
of books, and all of a sudden it went off

311
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:19,960
and fell.

312
00:18:19,799 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 6: To the bloor.

313
00:18:20,799 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 2: Our killer posed as a piano tuner and used that

314
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,440
ingenious method to kill Calvin.

315
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 10: Put that bomb in the news chicken machine, Jim. Was

316
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,680
it set up by vibrations?

317
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 5: True?

318
00:18:31,079 --> 00:18:31,279
Speaker 6: Yes?

319
00:18:31,319 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 2: For him, the slight movement caused by the vibrations of

320
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,039
the gung released the delicate hair spring pin of the

321
00:18:38,039 --> 00:18:41,759
grenade planted inside the machine. That's how the explosion occurred.

322
00:18:42,319 --> 00:18:45,240
And the same thing happened at the bus terminal. The

323
00:18:45,319 --> 00:18:48,599
criminal left a bag containing the grenade in the check room.

324
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,319
Speaker 10: Then went into that music shop in the arcade, and

325
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,319
four o'clock had a certain record blade exactly.

326
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,559
Speaker 2: Now, let's add up the facts. We know that man

327
00:18:58,599 --> 00:19:02,079
in the music shop could be working for Redford. Now

328
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,039
if he isn't, then Redford is his next logical victim.

329
00:19:06,599 --> 00:19:09,519
Speaker 4: Also, he's very anxious to get me off the case.

330
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,039
Speaker 10: I'm anxious to get you off this case too, Jim.

331
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,839
It's fantastic and horrible. Every time I hear music, I'll

332
00:19:15,839 --> 00:19:16,799
be afraid for our lines.

333
00:19:16,839 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 2: Oh, we can't give up now, Vern. We know what

334
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,920
the criminal looks like and how the murders were committed.

335
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,279
Those facts are bound to lead us somewhere.

336
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 10: Well before we start chasing down any more clues, I'll

337
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,640
have to change my shoes. When a criminal ran out

338
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,359
of the music shop, he stepped on my foot. Look

339
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,799
at this big buck on the toe of my shoe.

340
00:19:35,519 --> 00:19:40,519
Speaker 2: Fern, give me that shoe. That dirt mark is evidence evidence. Yes,

341
00:19:40,599 --> 00:19:43,000
a laboratory test of that dirt may tell us exactly

342
00:19:43,039 --> 00:19:59,720
where to find the murderer. Well, here it is, Fern,

343
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,559
this is what I'm looking for.

344
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 10: What is it, Jim.

345
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 2: Look in these books, missus Coffin turned over to me.

346
00:20:06,279 --> 00:20:08,640
There's a record of a farm the firm of Carlton,

347
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,519
Burlingame and Redford bought about.

348
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:10,839
Speaker 4: Five years ago.

349
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 10: Is that important, Jim.

350
00:20:12,319 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 2: Because that farm proved to be a very good investment.

351
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,839
Shortly after was purchased, it was found to be rich

352
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,319
in bauxite. I still don't get it that dirt I

353
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,519
analyzed from your shoe contained bauxite.

354
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 10: Who owned the farm, Chester Moreland.

355
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 4: But it seems to me, Oh Morland died about a

356
00:20:30,279 --> 00:20:30,720
year ago.

357
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,279
Speaker 10: Doesn't this put Redfood on the spot, Jim. It shows

358
00:20:34,319 --> 00:20:35,720
how much he had to gain by the death of

359
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:36,519
his two partners.

360
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,759
Speaker 2: Yes, but it could mean something else entirely. Fern, get

361
00:20:41,799 --> 00:21:02,279
your things. We're going for a drive, Jim.

362
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 10: I think we should have brought the inspector and some

363
00:21:04,279 --> 00:21:06,680
of his men along. I have a feeling we're going

364
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:07,920
to run into trouble out here.

365
00:21:08,039 --> 00:21:10,759
Speaker 2: Well, the inspector wasn't at headquarters, Fern. I left word

366
00:21:10,799 --> 00:21:13,640
for him to join us in half an hour. Anyway,

367
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,400
there's always a chance they turn out to be a.

368
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:16,079
Speaker 4: Wild goose chase.

369
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:16,759
Speaker 10: I hope not.

370
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 4: Oh, here's the road where we turn in. There. Uh,

371
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,039
that's the old man and house.

372
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 6: Up there ahead.

373
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,039
Speaker 10: It looks deserted, Jim.

374
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 2: Probably hasn't been lived in since Carfin's firm took over

375
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,640
the farm.

376
00:21:32,759 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 10: Why are you parking so far away.

377
00:21:34,079 --> 00:21:34,519
Speaker 5: From the house.

378
00:21:34,599 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 4: Jim, Fern, I want you to wait here in the car.

379
00:21:37,759 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 10: Oh, Jim, I said, Vern.

380
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 4: Somebody's playing the piano in there.

381
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 10: Yes, I guess this is the place you're looking for, alright, Jim, Yes, Vern.

382
00:21:54,559 --> 00:21:56,880
Let's arrange some sort of signal in case anything goes

383
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:57,440
wrong in there.

384
00:21:58,039 --> 00:22:03,039
Speaker 4: Okay, if I want you, I'll p a small flower Rondolis.

385
00:22:02,599 --> 00:22:04,039
Speaker 10: On the piano and I'll come running.

386
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 2: Jim, don't be frightened for him. I think everything will

387
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:14,279
be all right. I'm going in there as the Avenger.

388
00:22:21,599 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 11: Well, uncle, your day of vengeance is at hand. I

389
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,160
Curtis Morland, have kept my promise to you, even though

390
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:36,000
you were dead. Uncle, your last enemy dies today and

391
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:37,440
we'll have our farm back.

392
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:46,599
Speaker 6: Carleton, Burlingame and Redford they were no match for me. Uncle.

393
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 11: I've murdered two of them, and Redford dies within the hour,

394
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:52,599
all with.

395
00:22:52,519 --> 00:22:55,559
Speaker 4: My music, Uncle, the music that you taught me.

396
00:23:02,319 --> 00:23:05,519
Speaker 6: Heard us? Morland. Who's there? Who call my name?

397
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:11,519
Speaker 11: It's the Avenger, Morland, the Avenger where I can't see you.

398
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 2: Get away from that piano, Morland. The Avenger knows your secret.

399
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,200
There's a discord of death in the music you have.

400
00:23:17,319 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 11: Yes, there's death in it, death and vengeance, and the

401
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,920
music won't stop until all three.

402
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 6: Of them are dead.

403
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:27,039
Speaker 4: Where is Redford?

404
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,799
Speaker 6: In a few minutes, Redford will die. Nothing can save him,

405
00:23:31,839 --> 00:23:33,920
not even you. Where is he?

406
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 11: I have but to strike a certain chord, and he

407
00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:39,000
will be blown into a thousand pieces.

408
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,079
Speaker 4: Morland, nothing can be gained by murder.

409
00:23:42,319 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 11: Spare Redford, no, Avenger, He's doomed just like the others.

410
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 6: But I would torture him a little first.

411
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 11: I'll have him listen to the dirge of doom before

412
00:23:53,240 --> 00:24:01,000
I strike the final chord. What are you doing, Avenger,

413
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,799
get away from this piano. No hand but mine must

414
00:24:04,799 --> 00:24:05,720
touch these keys.

415
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 4: Stop me, I say, stop it, simple, Rendelais can break

416
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,200
the spell of your vibrations.

417
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 10: Moland, how can I help young lady?

418
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 4: Redfoot is in this house? Find him and get him out?

419
00:24:18,279 --> 00:24:18,559
Speaker 8: Hurry.

420
00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 11: I've made a promise to a dead man, and I

421
00:24:24,759 --> 00:24:25,400
must keep it.

422
00:24:33,839 --> 00:24:35,759
Speaker 6: You're a fool, Avenger.

423
00:24:35,799 --> 00:24:37,559
Speaker 4: I can still out with you.

424
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,319
Speaker 11: There is another piano in this house, and even if

425
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,240
it means that I must die, I'll strike the proper

426
00:24:44,279 --> 00:24:47,799
chord on it. Then, Avenger, you will see a whole

427
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,799
wing of this house explode and collapse into a deserted

428
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:52,440
mine shaft.

429
00:24:56,279 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 8: Morland, come back, Morland, I can hear you, Barn.

430
00:25:03,400 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 4: I'm coming in a moment. Ye.

431
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 10: When I saw the whole wing of that house collapse,

432
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,359
I never thought i'd see you alive again.

433
00:27:04,599 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 2: Moreland locked the door after him, Fern, Otherwise I would

434
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:08,079
have tried to save him.

435
00:27:08,519 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 10: Well, it's nice to be back here safely in the laboratory, Jim.

436
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,319
I hope we never have another case like this. My

437
00:27:14,519 --> 00:27:15,680
nerves won't stand a little.

438
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 2: We'll do some routine work on the telepathic indicator for

439
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,359
a few days and give you a chance to get

440
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:21,200
back to normal for him.

441
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,799
Speaker 10: Well, now, to bring your notes up to date on

442
00:27:23,839 --> 00:27:26,319
this case, Jim, what shall I list for the motive

443
00:27:26,319 --> 00:27:28,720
of Curtis Morland's crimes revenge?

444
00:27:28,759 --> 00:27:29,079
Speaker 4: Fern?

445
00:27:29,839 --> 00:27:32,519
Speaker 2: That farm had belonged to Curtis's uncle and would have

446
00:27:32,519 --> 00:27:35,359
fallen to Curtis at the old man's death, But Kaufman's

447
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,119
partner's discovered a very rich deposit of box sit there.

448
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,880
I'm persuaded Old Morland to sell the farm. It drove

449
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,079
young Curtis mad to watch those partners get rich at

450
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,599
his uncle's expense, and when this man died, Curtis vowed

451
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,359
to get even and reclaim his heritage.

452
00:27:48,599 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 10: Well, we save Redford anyway. He's promised to face the

453
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,039
music and see that missus Carfin gets her husband's share

454
00:27:54,039 --> 00:27:54,240
of the.

455
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 4: Business, which is just about where we came in on this.

456
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,039
Speaker 10: He is, what's that?

457
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 4: Take it easy, friend, it's only the piano tuner.

458
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 2: We ruined the tone of my piano with those vibration experiments,

459
00:28:05,839 --> 00:28:06,720
so I decided to.

460
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 4: Have a tune.

461
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 10: Oh jim, I don't think I'll ever be able to

462
00:28:11,079 --> 00:28:12,480
enjoy piano music again.

463
00:28:18,599 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 2: All characters, names, places, and plots used in the Avenger

464
00:28:21,279 --> 00:28:24,440
program are fictitious. Any similarity to person's living dead is

465
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:25,440
purely coincidental.

466
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 8: This is a thought, a thought, a thought.

467
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 4: Remember listen for another adventure of the Avenger
