Speaker 2: Dan where grengo, I'm right dolling, moving to worry about.
You've got to begin.
Speaker 3: I'm putting together for someone coming.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is coffee. I'm gonna ranking of homicide
as it were to do them. Oh, just about you
of your husband? Yes, you're positive, Yeah, I don't right here,
we can go down here run the momentary. There's something
you'll have to know about your husbands mister's copy. He
was not drown your husband was murders and Middi's copy.
I think you and I should have an adult talk.
There's Steve Granger, private detector was a parably about a
girl and said of her husband for herself, and then
found she was accused of his murder. And just a moment,
I'll take you back to when I learned those interesting cases.
I went to Hawaiian last year.
Speaker 4: Here, I think I tried Caraban.
Speaker 5: I learned to blake it up weekend Weekend Canada since California.
Speaker 2: It was pretty good. We got from Saday. Yes, I'll
have time for England. Friend, say jod you decribed amazing intentions.
Sound like the chatter about a millionaires. No, they're hard
working girls. Members of America's most important jet set, the
United States Air Force. The pre the day pay vacations
they get each year. Let them visit the exciting places
they've always dreamed about. Of course, vacation time is only
one of the many advantages of a career in air
force flew. For instance, women in the Air Force received
exactly the same pay and privileges.
Speaker 3: As men of similar acts.
Speaker 2: Find out about opportunities for high school and college graduates
to your air force recruiters. They are good. It isn't
often that a private eye, I see is much of
the better side of human nature, like love, warmth and affections.
And I thought i'd ride in a young capital place
across my office. Death well set up a pall, well
termed looking guy, a girl Virginia. More so in my turn,
a beautiful chide. The hand rested in his. He was
doing his best with protective and confidence that they told me,
mister Greens, and we would get her. It wasn't clear
to a murther child. So I don't your insance. You
got yourself a boy, see I had used to clear.
I suppose you take it from the beginning. And I mean,
first of all, I better explain with the beginner. And
I are in love. We wanna get married, pry natural
spring kinanetitude. But the trouble is that my father died
intesting I'm your child when I make night to my mother,
who if he went into quite a pansom. Never had
the idea that any girl I wanted to marry would
only be niven need for my money? What if money
look ill in hurt mother? Right from Virginia, And I
said I had together in Loo got a plan called
a goodning at the time. You see, my mother wanted
to engage the secretaries that's me, to make me an infiance.
So I thought it was a perfect opportunity. You didn't
get another to me, Virginia by having her takes for John.
There is no looks mattering, no ridding. Didn't have the
husband you could mean Bendaba has been for us the
middle name of theaters. Had it work, plainly. Never liked
Virginia immediately maybe not like it's too bad. I couldn't
find the girl I could have managed. Only Virginia had
their husband. Yeah, you have to do something about them
with a husbanding just like a parent saying right in
all that he decided to kill a husband, what you
and better husband, let me decide a killing time that
it sounds crazy, but admits for primple, there was a
night of the paper about the body of an unidentified
man being pulled out of news papper. They said he'd
be drawn, not just about this is bad under the
mid and I identified this not happening to me. It's
getting crazier by the minute.
Speaker 1: It was a fender.
Speaker 2: It is reason to see the body and they told
it the man's husband that of Britain at the idea,
instead of being number one and two in the wedding,
lad you find yourselves number one and two on a
step back list, the least the recognizance and looking frick you,
you've got a clear cranger. I don't care what cof Well.
I guess this is one time where my middle name
is stupid and I'd like to try.
Speaker 3: And keep that out of the newspapers and keep my
mother from finding out.
Speaker 2: These kids don't believe in making that job easy. Do
this so happens? I know Lieutenant Ranting pretty well. I
go down a homicide and talk to him. Oh that good.
How's the ptere?
Speaker 5: You will do this?
Speaker 2: Fine day? I have told up your Trapson. How's the
canary fethers that send you to invade my privacy? Drink
Old Powell? Now Granger? Today I am in a good humor.
There isn't a thing you can figure up for me.
I'm gonna yes, Lieutenant, but Candy no have to get
a grip on my book. Then tell me have you
been retained by one feller named Mark Phillip? No other
Old Powell? Green Green? How Granger? I'm not going to raise,
my boy, I shall not let this get me down past.
Have you want to know all the good man once
you get on me. The Burn's got a couple of friends.
His name was Coppy, got a record? Where's your son? Chicago?
Cargo down?
Speaker 3: Are you going out to h.
Speaker 2: That's my look always bad. There's no need of my
taking a trip of the windy city because just downtown

everything for aslight consideration? He will babble like a babe.
Mister McClary's hanging up was a certain bad way easy,

great production of the figure. He might be there.

Speaker 3: Some time.
Speaker 2: Say in national parts are stayed by the Louis Congress
in nineteen ninety Fight seeing in Arizona, a visit to
the World's Fair, travel and excitement things that most young
women just dream about. But travel is a part of
the air Force way of life and added bonus for
the women in the air Force. Air Force women enjoy
thirty day paid vacations each year, just like the men
in the airport. In addition, they do meaningful work, important
work for themselves and their countries. High school graduates qualify
for the last College graduates are eligible for office A
training schools. Registered nurses and die officients can receive direct commission.
If you're interested in travel, training, excitement, and a satisfying career,
be your local Air Force recruiter. I was lying on
the floor, but that didn't stop a guy like Decker.
But never heard of the idea of a chear. Don't
get a man when he's down. He got him around
the ears of the black jack again, and I went
to sleep. When I came to this guy, when I
tried to get up, I turned out why it lacked
me in his was her taloom in the closet, and
I was trying to figure out how to get out when.
Speaker 1: I heard.
Speaker 2: That, Yeah, well who's that? Never mind? Wait a minute, Wow,
it's McCray. I'd happened to stop here, and I set
the restaur him. I know Decker better than you. I
think it he took something. So I tell a game
of you when he came through the lobby and you
didn't I come up one time of it going around
the woman. You've been curried for just five minutes. I
know you five minutes. I think I'm trying to stop him.
I take up performing an ass for the police departm
the legend when I answered, I asked for Lieutenant Rancon.
So it was under my breath if I had the
badges on the line at the.
Speaker 3: Other end, Frank, that is g didn't you take the right.
Speaker 2: Away with your jakes, get on the radio, credit card

McCrae turned it out of the room, went out of
the hotel, leaving me standing there with a set of
lump somewhere head that made it look like a malformed cantalope.
And I watched up as much as possible. I'm headed
to Littennant Rankin's office. Get out of here. Just worn't
looking your morse. It's a pip boy gone what I
hadn't open my not to ask a single question when
a whole battery of lawyers with a whole battery of
lip move in on me. But I keep an eye
on that general. Look crazier. Why don't you go back
to your office. You can probably go up the stir
if he summoned you listen at a few skip trating jobs.
Because we've got something. Let me get it out of
the day of morse and marshl up what we got
ourselves out with them for the murder he's await at
the palm pan ring. The Nuttown Hotel. What about him?
They get him and doing lunch the other day. Never
heard them discussing how they're going to get rid of
her husband of Jake and turning circumcern Anever, let me
know you had the sad part of their players to
get the boys matter to a greeting Mary in Virginia. Yeah,
when Philip noticed the way to open me in, we
got stuff and threatened him. What about that kid stuff?
You probably couldn't resist the temptation to light it up.
And here, in spite of all that coffy, he had
a wife in Chicago. Maybe lands them in pays with
some money. Frank n right from Chicago, say the brothers
made you say that's what? Okay, I'll get over there.
Well they're kinna don't tell me. Let me prove to
you that I'm a detective. I got you a call
to say the coffee's real wife gets cut in from
Chicago and it's cleaning the body, and that she's staying
with the Westmore stranger. One day when I had enough
of the job and he was the only two answers
to get kicked up before I go to personally batter
base there over your skull and just to turn you
have a cheaf, my friends, let me give you a
little sip. Does the mo any time named Decker lives
at the Fleming Hotel. Stopping the case in some way,
I didn't you bringing in the question or quit sing
Harry's in my way? I think you'd find out something. Look,
you run your business your way, let me unmine my way.
This was the lobby of the Fleming Hotel.
Speaker 4: Again.
Speaker 2: As I walked through, I looked around Checkley. Sitting in
an under stuff leather chair was a man that I've
never seen before, A man had seemed very interesting when
I was doing. This was the third floor of the
Things Hotel. The player of Becker's room was located air.
This was the time I took no chances. My gun
was in operating positions usually careful Decker that left the
door unlocked the time I moved towards the closet, wondering
if he had someone else been constellated when I stumbled,
And what I stumbled over was mister Roy Becker, a
very dead mister Becker. Roy Becker was lying in his
back hackle sized glow towards the ceiling. In spite of
the fact that he was no greater loss for the world.
I wasn't happy because every time I ended over a step,
it usually means I'm stuck with more strife. And at
the moment I'll bring me with a Turmax of the
Caselomny Square. He solemnly swear that I will bear true
faith and legions, that I will bear true faith and
a regiance to the United States of America, to the
United States of America, that I will serve them honestly

Turn the truth. And then let's take sure and say

I know how to handle my department, and I'd get

sickle when I'm the first time there. Suddenly I stopped.
Look from the window. I admired a new convertible. Yeah,

But having time like not sorry, I walked straight through
the stillings another door at the back, effectively losing the
guy on my tails, and I had a back to
which that opposite the Westmore Hotels. I waited, and five
minutes by other man showed up point into the lobby.
A few seconds later he came back out again and

I got something for you. I'm up to the rest
more hotel than in his copy. The woman, So Lena
get a room, ask for the number. I'm good here,
answers the how'd you like a lover Tokyo. I did
it over to the bed, told the tirs that I
wanted to sat out of some numbered letters, and you
got it. The room was in a court and guess
out of the room was number ninety one seven. I
called Mark Phillips and waited for as granger. What's the
idea of asking us to come here? I want to
see room this more to look at someone I saw ooh,
I come out of the window. Then I'm the curtains
all right, insta, clem, I'm looking at the room straight
across the court. That morman packing her bags? What about it?

to do with broom Coppy groos. Both of you go
down to the lobby and work for me. The monskir,

curtains watching him at his copy, how didn't she moved
over to one corner of the room and bent over
by standing on the radiator, aid new count what she
was doing. I'mthing important enough to send me a round
to her room in double times. Yeah, I'll tell your

guy told you, the one who called you on the
phone when I was here before? Maybe why would you
come back? You know your husband pretty well, didn't he?
Speaker 4: I said?
Speaker 2: I said, been married for way? What about having to
sixty thousand? Me and Dickie get out of a messenger?
Hold up? Why all? Okay? Granger re well, Liver is
a shadow Gebby's gotten that And I figured this and
then happened. I got turn around? Great guess why thanks
Magica not to give any in the back his joms
is coffee first, your hands and air a Granger who
I told him to got ribbons had gotten that's the
one that killed your husband. You know you were hearing
me yet when your husband was killed, I saw the
airplane ticket book on the best he made two Chris.
I thought that that was started when you were smoking
too fair and I said to hear too. I saw
you take a bundle of money from in the bank
of the base. Thought over there yet and nose takes
a got me to turn around, keep their hands up.
That must be the sixty thousand coffee you got it
when a dead man on the floor shot and killed
your husband. You've been a little too smart and a
lot too snoopy grangers. It was not going to be either.
An I've always had a theory that no dame can
shoot the kate anything one. He's kind of the modest
your theory, and you with it a granger rife I can. Well, friends,
that's the story. I'll be back to repoplication just a minute. Well, cubs,
here it is. Take your carmo good, no, I accu
The slow returning that I to. Pulling around with an
engine at the corner garage is fun and you can
learn something from it. But if you'd like to work
with engines, why not make it really pay off? That
was the roar of the B fifty two backbone of
the Strategic Air Command. It takes expos mechanics to keep
it primed for flight. Perhaps you can qualify for the
training that's required in the US. There for it, you'll
build a career for yourself in a vital aerospace specialty. Well,
why not find out where you fit in Your local
air force recruiter can arrange for you to take the
Airman Qualifying Examination that will measure your aptitude and key
career areas. As you're going on to college look into
the Air Force ROTC program, Missus copy, he turned away
from me to files that didn't drank him, whereupon ost
At one number ten and kicked the gun out of
her hands went down to the lock up while Virginiam
Mars and Mark Steps were free the nude chargers. Even
my songs pun of lieutenant was related every such as
he calls the granger Copy wrote that on both Beckham
Missus Cobby he found out where he was at the
same time Decker did. He found out before he got
that month to shoot him and keep the bill while
she flew back to Chicago to established an airbius and
hinted one The only thing he hasn't told this is
why she killed her partner and murd When the list
fix Steps food Jake, we'll find that the bullets and
coffee will mess the gun and used to hide smooth
Missus Coffey had to get rid of him. Maybe he's
gonna use your dog the monk was dead. Teach me
and make like an innocent fire Sander. Oh, I never
believe a story like that. Well, thanks for something anything.
The two kids will give you more. My slip yeah,
and us a spare things with his mother. He'll look
at her, say missus, Emily tells answers, Alaser requests your
christ request your presence, sever you can a well a
monkey suit obviously, your boy. Are you afraid of being
mistakes for the waiters? After all, you don't look your
vest when formally grant class of reverse lieutenant When in
the tuck, I looked the luck.
Speaker 1: Welcome back. Give Granger credit for getting under Jake's skin.
Beyond that he's helping in this case by the laid
criminal keeping everything close at hand. I would not keep
a hot sixty thousand dollars in a hotel room. It'd
be there are so many ways that could be discovered,
even without Granger coming along. It'd be far smarter to
have had the hired killer drop it off at a
locker where it'd be secure and where no one would
know to.
Speaker 4: Look for it.
Speaker 1: But not quite as convenient for our plot. It was
also nice to hear some ads from the era. Even
military recruitment ads capture a bit of the times, and
you get to hear how service in the Air Force
was being pitched, particularly to women. Listener comments and feedback.
Now and we go to Spotify where Wenix sixty six
comments regarding the episode A marriage Minded Girl, horrible pun indedu. Yeah.
I will say the one thing that Danger with Granger
can do is be a bit cheesy at the end,
and even cheesy by the standards of the era as
we heard tonight. And I'm not saying that there wasn't
a little bit of cheesiness occasionally at the end of
nineteen fifties detective shows, but something like the all met
at tonight the end of tonight's episode, Yeah, that's a
bit over the top for the era, but it's one
of the few flaws of the series, beyond the sound quality,
which is based on the copies we have. All Right, Well,

year old murder of a man named Frank Dandom. He

Speaker 5: Were you married to him at that time? No? But
how do you know he wasn't in Cleveland?
Speaker 2: He told me he wasn't. Can you just take his
word for it?
Speaker 3: Of course you love him, that I know him.

evidence is old stuff, veryed for fourteen years. We've got
to dig it up now. I'm Melinda try.
Speaker 3: Are you you mean you will help me?
Speaker 5: I don't know if you call it help exactly. I'm
not completely convinced of your husband's innocence, But the only
way to find out is to look into the facts.
Speaker 2: Thank you for being honest, mister Beaufet. What do we
do first?
Speaker 5: Our first step is the police records. Suppose I meet
you tomorrow morning. We'll start looking all right.
