Modern Crime now comes transcribed to radio, starting Hollywood's brilliants
and talented actor Vincent.
Speaker 3: Let's sink.
Speaker 4: I'm not home. It's the middle of the night and
I'm asleep. I'm in Schenectady, sitting up with a sick ant.
Speaker 5: Hello. Hello, are you Simon Templar.
Speaker 4: We'll come in and we'll compare social Security guind Thank you.
Speaker 6: I thought you were in Schenectady, never heard of the place.
Sitting up with a sick ads you recovered suddenly, Simon,
I need help desperately.
Speaker 5: Why because I'm dead?
Speaker 3: You're why dead? Oh? Well, of course some of my.
Speaker 5: Best friends, Simon. My name is Francis Blake.
Speaker 6: Here read this that little item down in the corner
under obituaries.
Speaker 4: Obituaries says here that the body of Francis Blake is
at the rest will Chapel very ill at noon tomorrow.
Speaker 5: You see the newspaper say that I'm dead.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I don't know whether to believe them or not.
Speaker 4: You are Francis plat of course I am.
Speaker 3: Give me a moment, all right, thank you?
Speaker 5: Now, Simon, what are you tho?
Speaker 3: I thank your pardon.
Speaker 5: You pinched me?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I had to make sure I wasn't dreaming.
Speaker 6: But you're supposed to pinch yourself if you think you're dreaming.
Speaker 3: I know, but this way was more fun. Also, I
never heard a corpse say ouch before. Therefore you're not dead.
Speaker 5: I already knew that I didn't.
Speaker 4: Now that that's settled, I think perhaps we ought to
go visit visit who your corpse?
Speaker 2: Taxy?
Speaker 5: Taxy?
Speaker 2: Hey, your night rain up right?
Speaker 7: Never mind, Louis, Oh, mister Temple. Had I have known
it was you, I wouldn't have bothered with the whims.
Speaker 3: Had I known it was you, I just wouldn't have bothered. However, friends,
thank you.
Speaker 4: Louis should perhaps be explained he's a cab driver. I
try to avoid I rarely succeed, which proves to me
that my life isn't all that it should be.
Speaker 5: Keep it clean?
Speaker 2: And where at this hour of the night are you
going the rest?
Speaker 3: Will chapel?
Speaker 5: Get another cat?
Speaker 3: Louie?
Speaker 8: Okay, okay, some sport takes a girl to see a
funeral pollow in the.
Speaker 3: Middle of the night. I'm ready taking her home.
Speaker 5: She lives in a funeral pollom.
Speaker 3: She's dead in a funeral parlor. Wo's dead, mis plague?
Speaker 5: Ah me excuse me, But Louise.
Speaker 4: Don't take your hand will I already did so? She
said out personally.
Speaker 8: I would have liked to find out for myself. But
if you say so, I do.
Speaker 7: I'll take your word for it. Only how are you
gonna explain to the funeral palla riding around in cabs?
Speaker 3: Simple?
Speaker 4: I am apparently the kind of a man a girl
wouldn't mind being seen dead.
Speaker 8: With the rest while chapel at your surface. Louis, I know, wait,
but I'm telling you one thing.
Speaker 7: Considering the type of company you're keeping, I ain't waiting
until nobody plays no hot links in a trumpet.
Speaker 3: I don't think you'll have to come along, Francis.
Speaker 6: I've been trying to pretend to myself that it's all
some kind of a joke.
Speaker 5: But that funeral parlor looks too real.
Speaker 3: We'll find out soon enough. One nice thing about funeral pilors.
They're always open.
Speaker 5: That you call nice.
Speaker 3: You have a point there. Listen to that doorbell chopin at.
Speaker 7: Least, ah, I beg your pardon, I said, ah, ah.
Speaker 3: Come in, Francis.
Speaker 4: This is an hour that comes to all, except in
states that don't have daylight saving. I.
Speaker 9: Sir, was referring to your bereavement. Ah, whom are you mourning?
We would like to look at, Francis Blake. The hour
is late, but grief knows no clock. Good Heaven's an apogram.
Speaker 10: Who we try, sir? If you'll follow me, thank you. Ah,
Here we are, and there.
Speaker 3: She is beautiful isn't she very.
Speaker 5: Simon?
Speaker 4: She does look like me a little bit, but hardly
enough to explain. How did she get here, miss Blakeman?
The police brought her? Oh, I see who identified her?
Speaker 9: That was highly necessary. Her coat over there in the
corner side.
Speaker 10: Wait a minute, Frances, what about her coat? It had
her name on the label. Now I shall withdraw. You
will want to be alone with your grief.
Speaker 4: All right, But make a sound withdrawing, please, so we'll
know you're withdrawn, really.
Speaker 9: Sir, it's no use jesting the dead never laugh.
Speaker 5: Well he's withdrawn, Simon. That's my coat. It is mine, Simon.
Speaker 3: But look, yes, two holes in the front of it.
Bullet holes.
Speaker 5: Bullet holes.
Speaker 4: The girl here, whoever she is, was murdered. Come on,
we better get out, all right.
Speaker 6: But I'm taking my coat. I don't think it's mine,
not hers. It belongs to me, even though she was
murdered in it, Simon.
Speaker 5: What was that girl doing with Michael.
Speaker 3: Wearing it when she was shot?
Speaker 4: Presumably there's another question, perhaps a more important one.
Speaker 3: Why was she shot in the first place?
Speaker 5: I suppose she had enemies?
Speaker 3: Have you again?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're back again, Francis, Thank you, little lady lost
the place.
Speaker 5: Francis, where do you live the Thornton town? Simon?
Speaker 3: Back there?
Speaker 5: Why did you ask if I had any enemies?
Speaker 3: The coat's a distinctive one.
Speaker 5: It's a very colorful play.
Speaker 4: Yes, the girl back at the funeral parlor was murdered
while wearing it. The question comes to was her wearing
the coat when she was killed merely a coincidence or
was she killed because her murderer thought she was you?
Speaker 7: London Pollas And here you are, Louis, And I know,
don't wait on the kind of you're shitting up with
a dead friend. Good Night, Louis, good night, good night folks.
Speaker 6: Oh, Simon, it's so good to be back home. My
apartment's down the corridor. Simon, I feel terrible.
Speaker 3: No, you needn't.
Speaker 6: But what you said in the cab, she was wearing
my coat, a very distinctive one, and then she was
shot to death.
Speaker 5: That girl is dead because of me.
Speaker 3: Oh, we don't really know that.
Speaker 5: It must be so somebody thought she was me and
killed him.
Speaker 6: That's possible. Then that means that somebody wants to kill me.
Speaker 3: This is your doing.
Speaker 5: Oh, yes, of.
Speaker 4: Course, it's also possible that someone didn't like the coat,
And hey, did you leave your lights on when you left?
Speaker 3: No, there's a light in the room ahead.
Speaker 5: That's the living room you used to hear in the hall.
Speaker 3: I'll go ahead and see who it is.
Speaker 4: I just want to make sure they're neutral on the
subject of plaid coats or you.
Speaker 5: Hello, hello, ah, how she was beautiful? Your wife?
Speaker 6: My?
Speaker 5: What your wife? It's her picture on the desk there, No.
Speaker 3: Manda does seem to be a picture of Francis.
Speaker 5: And your name?
Speaker 3: She is my name, Simon.
Speaker 5: Ah. It is a name that fills herself with the soul.
Speaker 11: No, No, I knew that tonight, of all nights, you
would be lonely.
Speaker 3: Believe me, I'm not lone.
Speaker 5: I am here.
Speaker 11: Or your wife, she must have been a wonderful woman.
Your life with her was the magnificence.
Speaker 4: No chamber music would probably be more accurate if you
and now that.
Speaker 5: She is the last gone, I am.
Speaker 4: Here without even a pause for station identification.
Speaker 3: Look, who are you?
Speaker 5: I am? Olga, Simon? Who is she?
Speaker 3: Alga?
Speaker 5: Who is she?
Speaker 3: Francis? And now that you too have met waiting.
Speaker 11: A moment, huh aha, I look on the picture. I'll
look on the flash, the flash of which I might adding,
your wife is perhaps carrying a little too much here
and there, especially there now just a man.
Speaker 3: It wasn't point alga bad man is.
Speaker 5: But I am seeing your wife. She is not dead.
Speaker 4: She isn't. That is Francis isn't. If you like, you
could try pinching her hair.
Speaker 11: I never pinch except boys. Simon, you are disappointing me.
Speaker 8: Goodbye.
Speaker 3: That was quite a performance personally.
Speaker 5: I didn't care for her cadenza.
Speaker 4: Oh I don't know. It was a nice cadenza, and
the two D was definitely fruity, that is if Francis.
The whole thing was camouflaged for what. Take a look
at the room. The room, Oh yes, it looks as
if a junior hurricane had visited it.
Speaker 5: You mean somebody of all go searched the room?
Speaker 3: Uh huh? This one? And yeah, the bedroom as well.
Speaker 5: But simon, what was she looking for?
Speaker 4: I don't know, whatever it was, didn't find it. Our
entrance stopped her search.
Speaker 5: Well, i'd better start straightening things up a bit.
Speaker 3: Good idea, I'll help you.
Speaker 5: Well. Shouldn't you be going home?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: I don't think so. You may get some more visitors later.
On and rougher ones than Alga. Why, maybe they'll tell
us if we asked them prettily.
Speaker 3: In the meanwhile, Yes, Simon, we can practice the overture
to that symphony Alga mentioned.
Speaker 5: Simon. Yes, it's getting awfully late.
Speaker 3: Yes, I know.
Speaker 5: We really can't sit up all night waiting for someone
to come. We don't even know for sure that someone will.
Speaker 3: I'll go got into this apartment, and someone else did.
Speaker 5: Before her, someone else.
Speaker 3: Of course, your coat was stolen, wasn't it.
Speaker 5: Well, I suppose, but not from the apartment side.
Speaker 3: Not from where was it stolen from?
Speaker 6: I can't be sure, of course, But I gave that
coat to the cleaning shop down the block about a
week ago.
Speaker 3: Cleaning shop, what's the name of it?
Speaker 5: The car to cleaners? Why?
Speaker 4: Because evidently it started out from there to wind up
on a murdered girl's body. Therefore, come on, we're gonna, yes,
believe it or not, I'm taking you to the cleaners.
Hey what, oh, Louie, I thought I told you not
to wait.
Speaker 7: This is a free country, a blocking limit in this
ship crape maybe no, but I waited.
Speaker 3: But we're only going down the block a little bit.
You can't afford a quarter. I like to walk. What
do you get from walking? Exercise?
Speaker 7: And from exercise an enlarged heart. From an enlarged heart,
you know how many people each year dropped it?
Speaker 3: Add them up? We're walking. Come on, Francis.
Speaker 5: Simon.
Speaker 4: You're worried moderately about all those people with enlarged hearts.
Speaker 3: And this is the place.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, front door, shepherd, there's a light, insigne. Let's try.
It's locked.
Speaker 3: However, I think someone's coming recognizing him?
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, that's mister Maxim, the manager.
Speaker 3: Oh what do you want? Do you mind if we
come in? Look?
Speaker 7: It may have escaped your attention, but it happens to
be after two o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 3: Why do you want to command to the rain? It's
not rainy, but suppose it starts.
Speaker 7: I happen to be a very tired ma'am.
Speaker 3: You should go home early. I shouldn't be bothered by drunks.
Speaker 4: I'm not drunk. We've stopped by from miss Blake's coat
the plaid.
Speaker 7: As I may have mentioned before, we are not open
for business.
Speaker 3: And then what are you doing here?
Speaker 7: I am crazy about carbon tech mcloride fumes.
Speaker 3: I'd still like the coat. Oh, then please do stop by.
Speaker 4: In the morning, Simon, Why did you I wanted to
find out if the cleaning store knew the plaid coat
was gone.
Speaker 5: But we didn't find out, did we.
Speaker 3: No, Nevertheless, we've worried mister Maxim. Thank Heaven. Louise handy, Hey,
Louis Louie, you give up? Uh into the cab?
Speaker 7: N right, Well, name your destination, mister templar A very
long trip drive to the back of the cleaning store.
Speaker 4: You'll probably probably have to go around the block. That
alley must lead there.
Speaker 6: Okay, but Simon, why are we going to the back
of the store because we're going in?
Speaker 4: No, because I suspect mister Maxon is going out.
Speaker 3: All this year. Is maybe none of my business? It isn't.
Speaker 7: Oh you know, remark like that could easy hide a
fella's feeling. I'm sorry, No, it didn't hit mine.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Still, but you're not spending this PM in the way
a PM.
Speaker 4: Should be spent. Nonsense. So far, it's all been good cleaning.
Speaker 3: Fun, That's what I mean, Simon.
Speaker 5: Mister Maxon hasn't come out of the store yet.
Speaker 3: No, he may be coy, However.
Speaker 6: Why should he have anything to do with anything he shouldn't.
Speaker 3: But it's very possible that Simon.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, mister Maxon is shutting up shop, coming down
the back alley, which confirms something or else.
Speaker 5: You mean, if he weren't hiding something, he wouldn't use
the back way.
Speaker 4: Perhaps we're far enough away from the alley for him
not to notice, like he's turning the corner.
Speaker 3: Louis, I am alert, not for nothing?
Speaker 7: Was I a boy scout, although actually when I was
a boy scout.
Speaker 3: For was a certain girl scout. Hold it a minute.
He's getting into that he's a villain.
Speaker 5: That's a convitable.
Speaker 7: Everybody knows only villain's right around in convitibles.
Speaker 3: He started, Louis, there we go, Look Maxim stopping?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I better stop right here. Ah ha, Simon, he's
going into that nightclub.
Speaker 4: Interesting place for a store manager to finish his evening's work.
Speaker 3: Let's go, Francis. Leave me know how the flaw show is.
I'll be sure to Barker's bandbox. I've heard of the Yeah,

and needs ventilation.

out of a door near the piano. Let's follow any
shifty footsteps.
Speaker 5: I hope nobody noticed it.
Speaker 3: What's going on or rather coming off? I don't think so.
Speaker 5: Oh it's so dark in this hallway. Yeah, I can't
hear what it is.
Speaker 3: We can get a little Wait a minute, bark I'll
get me wait long enough, wear a stone. I told
you the girl. Just know what you told me. Don't
give me the stones. And I suppose you tell me
where the stones are. I don't know where they are.
Speaker 5: Stones.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Barker's got quite a reputation as a crook of
various kinds. Stones are jewelry and unquestionably stolen jewelry.
Speaker 3: I having fun fellas well. I hope I didn't frighten
you lady coming up. I used to know the people
like this that was here asthma. Yeah, this here's a rot.
Speaker 5: How cute could I see it?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I've got how gratifying it? I mean, he fell down.

it would be.
Speaker 4: Fatal, I find I know it's always a little nervous

Speaker 5: You you think maybe.
Speaker 3: Just not taking any chances.

Speaker 5: What do you mean?
Speaker 3: I hope she wouldn't see her. She isn't beautiful anymore.
Speaker 5: No, just dead.
Speaker 3: I better phone the police.
Speaker 6: Wait, Simon, you know this thing started with Francis Blake
being dead, but it wasn't Francis Blake.
Speaker 5: It was another thing, and then someone else got killed Olga.
Speaker 3: Still not Francis Blake.
Speaker 6: But Simon, the next time, do you do you think
maybe it.
Speaker 5: Will be.
Speaker 3: Come on, let's get out of here.
Speaker 4: Good night, lieutenant, thanks for dropping over and exit Olga

a few minutes.

Speaker 5: I want you, baby, suppose I don't know.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't care to believe that.
Speaker 6: Well, you'd better start because I don't know, all.
Speaker 3: Right, I'll start not believing you, Jake. Yeah, I don't

Speaker 4: Right, you don't, uh, I don't okay, mister Barker, what what.

You must have listen.
Speaker 4: If you don't hurt her in any way, I'll get
you the stones you're looking for.
Speaker 3: She doesn't know where they are. Matter of fact, where
are the stones? The carter cleaner shop? Look, don't have
me that. We already been through the joints. You didn't
know where to look. That could be a deal.
Speaker 4: Okay, your girlfriend will be under a gun all the time.
First funny movement, she gets it. No funny moves, okay, Jake.
Speaker 12: We're going visiting. Maybe we'll trade in a bay for
the stones if the stones are handed over.
Speaker 3: If they ain't, we'll just trade her in.
Speaker 4: Good morning, And oh you were here last night, And
that's right, mister Maxon.
Speaker 3: I was looking for a plaid coat. Plaid. Yes, maybe
it would be here on this rack. Oh it wouldn't
be there. You'll see this rack is for dressing and
this is for last night. Sorry to have upset you,
mister Maxon, but company is.
Speaker 4: Coming and I've got to set the table for them.
Speaker 3: Joe looks clean. No blue uniforms around park at Jake.
Speaker 4: Okay, here we go, baby, I can walk.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I know, but I enjoy your company.
Speaker 5: Simon.
Speaker 3: Hello, Francis you Tempa. That's right, stay next to me, sister, better,
just the door. We won't be interrupted, all right? Where
the stones they're in the place here they must be.
I don't like the sound of that. It could be
a stall. What's that?
Speaker 4: And mister max and he fell down while he was
pressing some suits or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, get up, Mexican.
Speaker 7: Well yeah, oh oh oh, hello mister Barker.
Speaker 3: Oh res oh. You don't have to talk that way,
mister Barker. I can't help it.
Speaker 7: If the stones were stolen from me, if the woman
double crossed me.
Speaker 3: This babe here, yeah.
Speaker 7: Why don't you work her over, mister Barker and her boyfriend.
After all, they're the ones who killed Og, aren't they.
It was a narrow part of mine out.
Speaker 12: I like the kid. I sent her out the job.
She got us business. You gotta cut your losses when
you have to. I still want the stones, are.
Speaker 4: You they are here, they have to be and find them.
I've looked, but they're hidden cleverly. You sound like a
guy up a tree.
Speaker 12: Mister in In just a couple of seconds, I'm gonna
cut that tree down.
Speaker 4: Tree you wake in a tree. Suppose you wanted to
hide a tree so you couldn't find it. Where were
you guide it? Ain't interested in hiding trees, you'd hide it
in the forest, of course. Therefore, going through the place
I noticed Francis, go through that dress rack, dress rack,
find a dress, any dress that doesn't seem to belong well, I.
Speaker 3: I don't get it.
Speaker 10: Bosh, who wants to hide a tree?
Speaker 6: I'm not sure what you mean. But this shop is
in a pretty expensive neighborhood. All the dresses here are
very good ones, except this one. It's quite cheap, covered
with cheap rhinestone.
Speaker 3: Let me have it. Yes, of course it doesn't belong here.
Speaker 4: Why is it here? Because it's a forest. Looks like
a rag to me, not like a forest. I suppose
you take another look at some of the rhinestones on
Let me have it. Hey, most of the things sewing
on that dress are cheap rhinestones, but among.
Speaker 3: Them are the genuine stones, the ones we've been looking for. Well,
nice work, Max, I didn't know anything about it.
Speaker 7: Somebody else must have done the frame here. No, I'm
all kids, minute, wait away, what.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you something? Max? No, b you sure
Tony never did like a double cross? Hey, ware you going?
It occurred to me you mightn't like witnesses either. Francis
came behind me. I wait, touching the sleeves. Build up
quite a lot of steam presser.
Speaker 4: I kicked the outlet pipe off and it banged at you,
and it's tramp barker and.
Speaker 3: Let you want to get my boy.
Speaker 4: You're leaving it. Oh, thank god, yes, Francis, but not
for long.
Speaker 3: The police won't have much trouble picking them up.
Speaker 4: With them all forgive me, but I can't resistance with
them all steamed up, Simon.
Speaker 6: I'm terribly grateful, but I can't resist Francis asking you
what it was all about?
Speaker 4: Oh, oh, an intellectual when you see Fancis, Maxon and
Baker were partners in the jewelry business, illegitimate. They worked
out a nice idea they'd used very distinctive clothes left
with the cleaning shop as disguises for themselves and their confederates.
Speaker 6: Oh and disguises which couldn't be traced because they'd lead
back only to perfectly innocent people who had albis and
everything right.
Speaker 4: And the last job they did involved a girl who
wore your plaid coat while stealing the jewels. Maxon, however,
decided he wanted all the jewels for himself, so he
killed the girl and hid the stones and all.
Speaker 3: He had to kill Alga because.
Speaker 4: She suspected something wrong and came to this apartment because
that's where the plaid coat came from.
Speaker 5: Well, but how did you know that Maxon.
Speaker 4: Had killed her back in the shop? He said Aga
had been killed in this apartment. How did he know that?
Speaker 6: Because he killer? Oh, Simon, what would I have done
without you?
Speaker 3: The question is what are you gonna do with me?
Speaker 2: You have been listening to another transcribed venture of a saint,
the robin Hood of modern crime. Now here is our
star of incient price ladies and gentlemen. Our cast tonight.
Speaker 3: Included Shirley Mitchell, v Olivaugh.
Speaker 4: Larry Dobkin, Lou Merrill, Tony Barrett, and Jack Moyles. This
is Vincent Price, inviting you to join us again next
week at the same time for another exciting adventure of
the Saint.
Speaker 3: Good Night.
Speaker 2: The night's script of The Saint was written by Lewis Bidhi's.
The music was composed and conducted by Von Dexter. The Saint,
based on characters created by Leslie Charteris, is a James L.
Sathier production and is directed by Helen mac mist And
Price is soon to be seen co starring in Rkao's
production of His Kind of Woman. I'll use Saint fans,
I'll be glad to know that the Saint comic books
are on sale at all.
Speaker 3: Use stands here.
Speaker 2: Announcer is Don Stanley Programs, Get your programs here Tomorrow Night.
Speaker 3: Tune here for Nightbeat.
Speaker 2: Here the unusual Tales uncovered by reporter Randy Stone as
he searches Chicago after dark for human interest stories.
Speaker 3: Tomorrow night.
Speaker 2: At every Monday, I'd hear night Beat, and then stay
tuned for the first piano quartet. Next, Sam Spade cuts
a caper, Then Rose Bampton sings on NVC.
Speaker 1: Welcome Back. The idea of being a closed rental shop
for criminals is a clever idea that only falls apart
when it encounters reality, as we saw in this episode,
because this is a pretty predictable outcome, because any detective
who traces close back to the legitimate owner finds out
they have an alibi and then finds out that the
garment in question had been sent to the dry cleaner
is going to pretty much do exactly what the Saint did.
So not the smartest criminal plan ever, but still a
enjoyable episode with a great hook. Listener comments and feedback.
Now and we go to YouTube with a comment from
Victor regarding the episode The Death of the Sun eight.
I know it's necessary for the plot, but I don't
understand the reason Claire and Maxim are enemies all of
a sudden. Well that's a good observation, Victor. When you
listen to the episode, what comes out from Claire is
that this is a secret Nazi hunting organization and most
of the members of it did not know each other,
