- 1:48of the Ricardo Amerigo Matter from Hollywood. It's time now for Johnny Deller.
- 1:56John, John, don't tell me Harry Branston at philadelp Mutual. Yes,
- 2:00yes it is. Listen John, I know you found his amati violin.
- 2:05Are you sure? But Ricardo Amerigo himself nothing, and after all, there's
- 2:08not only the twenty thousand dollar policy on him. But what do you mean,
- 2:12am I sure? Are you sure it was Amerigo's amti violin I found?
- 2:15Why? What do you mean? What if it wasn't? What if
- 2:19it was just an imitation? John? Stop it. That's in futt What
- 2:23do you mean that thirty thousand dollars well in short fiddle I picked up in
- 2:25the South Jersey swamps may be a phony. Oh no, for heaven's sakes,
- 2:30come over here to the office and tell me you will take it easy,
- 2:31herod boy, until I've had time to find out a few things.
- 2:34Johns here tonight and every weekday night. Bob Bailey in the Transcribed Adventures of
- 2:46the Man with the Action Pact, Expenser out America's Fabulous Freelance Insurance Investigator Yours
- 2:52Turlie Johnny Dollar. Expense accounts submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar location in Philadelphia,
- 3:07Pennsylvania, to the Philadelphia Mutual Liability and Casualty Company. Following is a
- 3:13final accounting of expenditures incurred during my investigation of the Ricardo Amerigo matter. When
- 3:21Ricardo Amerigo's car was hauled out of a swamp somewhere near Port Morris, New
- 3:24Jersey, there was no sign of his body, only a saw through steering
- 3:28arm on the car that indicated somebody had done him dirt. However, I
- 3:31did find the fiddle the thirty thousand dollars of money that had helped him become
- 3:35one of the world's top concert violinists. Anyhow, with a fiddle under my
- 3:39arm, I ended up at the shop of violin maker Eric Snowden for final
- 3:44confirmation that it was the genuine Amudi that i'd found. This. Eric confirmed.
- 3:49However, while we were in the second floor workroom of his shop onisming
- 3:52A Street talking about the fiddle, somebody pounded on the street door downstairs.
- 3:55Oh, bather, I'll be back in a moment, mister Doner. And
- 4:00that's when I accidentally and so helping. It was accidental. I knocked open
- 4:02the door of a cabinet and discovered another violin, identical in every respect with
- 4:06the one I'd found in the swamp at the scene of Amerigo's accidental death.
- 4:11Okay, so I did exactly what you would have done. I put the
- 4:14one in the cabinet into Amerigo's case, and the one from the case into
- 4:16the cabinet. One of them was the genuine AMAI but which one? I'm
- 4:23sorry, mister. He was so insistent. I thought he was one of
- 4:26my shall we say, better clients. As it turned out, it was
- 4:30just a youngster who wanted to see one of the new g strings. A
- 4:32youngster. I see you're joking. But now let me take this magnificent instrument.
- 4:38Readjust the sound post and bridge so that No, no, wait,
- 4:41mister snowdon it's later than I thought. There are some things I must do
- 4:45immediately. Suppose I come back here later, it will meantime. I shall
- 4:47make the adjustments on the amarty to restore it. No, no, I've
- 4:51got to take it with me. But I don't understand. There are a
- 4:55few things in this case I don't understand right this minute. But I hope
- 4:58to before very long. Mister Doller, you're talking riddles. Why don't you
- 5:01leave the violets later? But please be careful with it. If anything should
- 5:06happen to that priceless don't worry, nothing will happen to it. I found
- 5:12that I'd almost spoken too soon, for I pounded down the stairs, across
- 5:15the floor of the store and out of the door without the caution the book
- 5:18says one should exercise when leaving a suspect. In a case, i'd no
- 5:21sooner got out on the streets. There was a flower pot big enough to
- 5:27have killed a horse, and it's fall from the upper story window ledge was
- 5:31an accident, but I didn't wait. Expense account item fourteen ten cents.
- 5:39Phone called to Harry Branson at the insurance company to have the police put a
- 5:42man on Eric Snowden's shop immediately to make sure he wouldn't try to skip.
- 5:47I had him fifteen seven to fifty for a cab to the house of fiddle
- 5:49playing Jerry Goldsmith out in Lanark. Mister, hello, Gldsmith. Idn't expect
- 5:59it like you left in rather a hurry early. Sorry, I had to
- 6:01keep a date. Hey, look Jerry, when I was here before.
- 6:04I still have the violin. Yes, yes, when I was here earlier
- 6:09and you played it, you didn't seem to think it was really Ricardo Amarigo's
- 6:12AMAI. Oh no, I didn't say that at or at least it didn't
- 6:15sound like it when you played it. Yes, mister Della, that's right.
- 6:18Oh oh, think a minute. You were a bit upset, excited,
- 6:23whatever you want to call it when I brought it to you. Yes,
- 6:26that's true. Nevertheless, and I think you were also afraid I might
- 6:29have suspected you of Amerigo's murder when you admitted his violin was the one thing
- 6:31you wanted more than anything else in life, except, of course, to
- 6:34have Ricardo straightened out, become himself again, become the artist again, deserve
- 6:40to have this. I don't know. Whatever I say, it seems to
- 6:43make it sound like an I know that Jerry calmed down. Well you,
- 6:46I'm not trying to pin a murder rap on you. Calm down and do
- 6:48something for me, will you? Well? Yes, of course what here?
- 6:54Have you had something done to it to restore the tone that used to
- 6:56hasn't been touched by anyone else since I laid my hands on it, but
- 7:00I want you to play it again. Yes, of course I will.
- 7:02But didn't you say it's a little fool with the music store cleaned the cherry.
- 7:05It hasn't been touched by anyone else since I laid my hands on it.
- 7:10I'll play it all right, Go ahead, Cherry. M hm.
- 7:47It's them, isn't it. Yes, it's It's the beautiful, wonderful funny.
- 8:11I never realized what a violin could. Can you hear me, Jerry?
- 8:16Yes? Yes, And I think it's taken something like this to lead
- 8:22me to a killer. Expenser Count item sixteen four to twenty cave to Philadelphia
- 8:31Mutual the office of Harry Branston. But if you're right, John, you
- 8:33mustn't go out there alone. Don't you understand if he's the man who planned
- 8:37the murder Ricardo Amerigo, he wouldn't stop. Yes, yes, I had
- 8:41the police put a man out there at a couple of shop, But John,
- 8:43I still think Expencer Count Item seventeen a dollar sixty. The buck was
- 8:46a tip for going through a couple of red lights back to the shop of
- 8:50the violin maker. Eric Snowden, mister Dalhi'm mister Snowdon. I'm afraid I
- 8:58left you rather abruptly a while ago. Mister dorit that near accident when you
- 9:01left that floor, But I don't know how it possibly could have shifted on
- 9:05the window ledge up on the third floor window ledge of this little combination store
- 9:09workshop on home of yours. That much I did notice while I was ducking
- 9:13it. If it had come off a second floor window, you know,
- 9:16I might have suspected you have given it a helpful shot. Doll, you
- 9:20can't possibly mean I forget it for the moment. But let's go up to
- 9:24your workshop on the second floor. Come on, yes, of course,
- 9:28But may I ask why? I want to show you something? And I
- 9:33think you know what? No, I certainly don't unless something has happened to
- 9:37the Amati. Oh something certainly has you damaged it since you were here?
- 9:41No such luck? Please? What are you talking about? Okay? Here?
- 9:50Now tell me the truth? Is this Ricardo Amerigo's Amari Violin? Yes,
- 9:58yes, told you so, you're sure? Of course, I'm sure
- 10:03you know something you want, But I am what. I'll open that cabinet
- 10:09there beside your work table because I tell you to, But I just what
- 10:13are you getting at? Dollar? Are you going to open it or shall
- 10:15I? No? Get out of here. This is my shop, my
- 10:18place. You you can't do this sort of thing to me, which you
- 10:20rather the police did. They're on their way please, But I well,
- 10:28there's no need to open it, Ricardo Emerigo. So Amati, isn't it?
- 10:33Well, that's where you're wrong. This is the AMAI in this case,
- 10:37the one in the cabinet is the identical copy of the AMAI that you
- 10:41made. Yes, mister Dollar, Why Snowden, Because the loss of this
- 10:52priceless instrument would have been unthinkable, thirty insurance on it. Money doesn't buy
- 10:58a violin like this. It must be played by an artist, by many
- 11:03artists, like the artist Ricardo was. So so when Ricardo disappeared, I
- 11:07was murdered. When Ricardo disappeared, I had to make sure that the Amati
- 11:13wood would still. I didn't murder him. Isn't this the hack saw that
- 11:18cut the steering rod on his car? Well, Snowden, isn't it?
- 11:24Yes? No? And because of it, and you're a crazy plan to
- 11:26keep the real Amati, you and you alone are going to take the raft
- 11:28for Amerigo's murder. No, no, please, Ricky right sir, that's
- 11:37right, mister Dollary. I'm Ricardo Amrigo. What the dirty drunken has been
- 11:45that started all this? So I threw the stirring rod on my car wrecked
- 11:48in the swamp, left some of my clothing there. That pony fiddle was
- 11:54my idea, not to collect the insurance on it, not that alone,
- 11:58but to make sure it could come back again, be played again by somebody
- 12:05that deserved to play it the way I the way. Perhaps one time I
- 12:11deserve to play it. But cardel a man disappears, murder whatever. There's
- 12:20a fuss about it for a while, and it's over. But this,
- 12:24now, this must live and smiling you will. Now the world will be
- 12:31the better for it, but you will, and it's apparent murder. The
- 12:37insurance was my last hope of paying back Pete Corbin, my agent, and
- 12:41the others who tried so hard to straighten me out. Pay back some of
- 12:46the money and the heartbreak they spent on me, or let your insurance company
- 12:52pay them back. Because I never could. I couldn't even leave my hiding
- 12:58place here in Eric's because I knew it's sooner or later he'd pity me enough
- 13:03to give me more of the drink. That's been all I've been living for
- 13:09Eric. God bless him. Eric knew, of course, but only he
- 13:15be kind to him. If you can't, Ricky, that's all, mister
- 13:18Dollar. Oh unless will you buy me a drink before you're calling the police.
- 13:33Expense account I am seventeen eight fifty one bottle of the best I could
- 13:37buy before I call in the police Hut of eighteen hotel in Philadelphia. Miscellaneous
- 13:43fair back to Hartford total expense account one eighty two sixty five remarks. No
- 13:48insurance payment necessary on either the amati or the man. And I guess he
- 13:52really was a man more than he knew what the courts will do about him
- 13:58and about Eric Snowden, Well, the courts will do. And I'm glad
- 14:03I have to have no part in this. You know that's funny. Somehow
- 14:09I think I have a little better appreciation for music now than Oh, well,
- 14:15yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Remember there'll be another intriguing story for you
- 14:31beginning next Monday night. Next week. The Duke red Matter a race horse
- 14:35that can only be stopped by a killer, and the killer didn't stop with
- 14:39horses. Join us won't you Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. Yours Truly Johnny
- 14:54Dollar is starring Bob Bailey, is transcribed in Hollywood. It is produced and
- 14:58directed by Jack Johnstone, who also wrote this week's story. Heard in the
- 15:03cast were Harry Bartel, Laurence Dubkin, Victor Perrin, Barney Phillips, Forres
- 15:07Lewis, Eric Snowden, Herb Bigron, and James McAllion. Musical supervisor and
- 15:11violinist Amrigo Marino. Be sure to join us on Monday night, same time
- 15:18and station, or another exciting story of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. This
- 15:22is Roy Rowan speaking Welcome back. Well. This was a somewhat unusual story
- 16:33for a lot of reasons. First of all, Johnstone actually wrote the story,
- 16:38and he wrote it under his own name. That's unusual because Jack Johnstone
- 16:44wrote a lot of radio scripts, but most of them were under pseudonyms.
- 16:47For whatever reason, this one he goes ahead and owns it as one of
- 16:52his own. And I thought it was a pretty good script. I have
- 16:56to this is my second time listening to all of these fifteen minute serials,
- 17:00but I have to admit I was kind of very surprised. I was not
- 17:04planning on Ricardo Amerigo being alive the first time I listened to it, So
- 17:10it definitely took me for surprise, and I'm sure it did you. The
- 17:15other thing that's worth noting here, you know, as I listened to this
- 17:21show, you know, I listened to the closing credits, I didn't hear
- 17:23any female names. And I thought back over the serial, and I didn't
- 17:27remember hearing any female characters in this entire program. And that's kind of unusual
- 17:33when we're dealing with not just you know, a half hour program, which
- 17:37might happen. I don't recall that happening too often, but in this case,
- 17:44we're dealing with, you know, sixty seventy minutes worth of programming and
- 17:49no female characters. Very unusual in that regard. And also the borrowing of
- 17:56names you know mentioned previous Eric Snowden, but the Amarigo, of course,
- 18:04was the first name of the uh, the guy who did the music on
- 18:10the program, and it became the last name of the violinist in the story.
- 18:15So I don't know if you should technically be reusing names like that,
- 18:23but I guess that, uh, that that worked. Overall overall, a
- 18:30pretty good story well, now we turned to High Sky Hoodoo, and I
- 18:36did want to share a little news. I found a log on the Australian
- 18:41OTR website and it actually has an earlier date for the Carter Brown stories that
- 18:49I initially have And uh, actually they had High Sky Hoodoo that series airing
- 18:59the week of Decen number twenty first of nineteen fifty seven, so a little
- 19:03earlier than I had thought. So let's go ahead and we'll we'll take a
- 19:11lesson. It's time for High Sky Hoodoo Part two, Cattera Brown Mysteries,
- 19:33Adventures and Excitement and Suspense, based on the best selling novels by the slick
- 19:37storytelling sensation Karta Brown. The morning dawned bright with determination for me. The
- 20:06Old Man and Sue Pearson may have taken what I said for bravado, but
- 20:08I was determined to prove that the Jinx tag they'd fixed on Whitney Kent was
- 20:12a lie. I decided to say nothing about the visit of Slade, the
- 20:15Blue Circle Detective Agency man. That was something I'd take up later with Milton
- 20:19Moore. First, I wanted words with Jim Berg, a security man.
- 20:25Well morning, Whitney, the super salesman with a no good product. Now
- 20:29you got my sympathy, pal, Thanks for nothing. What gives Jim anything
- 20:33new? Another thing? Top brasser in conference this morning they're gonna use hangar
- 20:37C to start on the next F ninety two. K I gotta have four
- 20:40guards around that building night and day from here on. Who gets in Only
- 20:44the staff connected with the work and the executives. I'm sorry, Witt,
- 20:48you're not included. It was your father's instructions. Oh that's okay, Jim.
- 20:52He told me to take three weeks vacation. Looks like he means it.
- 20:56You have any leads? No? I figured Geen Latimer made a mistake
- 21:00somewhere, like the Air Force character says. But I'm no engineer, just
- 21:04an x FBI man trying to make a living. So I have to resume
- 21:07the plane with sabotaged. Right now, I'm starting a double check on all
- 21:11the employees who've got to got near that plane. How many of them are
- 21:15there? Over one hundred? Looks like quite a job, doesn't it,
- 21:18mister burg I wish you luck, you will need every ounce of it.
- 21:27Well you're around bright and early Whitney, just paying my round of calls chuck
- 21:33him. He's got mister Moore with him, then maybe I won't bother.
- 21:36I've got something to say to you. Anything from those luscious lips I will
- 21:40listen to with pleasure. Not this, you won't. It's about last night,
- 21:44the way you talked to your father. Why can't you even try to
- 21:47appreciate his point of view? His point of view goes no further than Kent
- 21:49aircraft. Everything else runs a bad second. You're a fool, Whitney,
- 21:53and you're a beautiful girl. But if you don't stop worrying about your boss
- 21:56and start enjoying life, you'll look in your mirror one morning and realize it's
- 22:00too late. You'll finish up senior stenographer to late pension. You off,
- 22:06Oh sue, mister Kent free at the moment. I'm sorry, miss Latimer,
- 22:08he's in conference. Well, I see him later. At just a
- 22:11minute, Jane, I'm busy, Whitney, not too busy for what I've
- 22:15got to say. I've thought of a perfect solution to your problem. Oh
- 22:18yeah, when you've got this next f ninety two k ready to test,
- 22:25let me fly it. That's what you've been after all the time. Let's
- 22:27not argue about that. Look at another way. If the plane's okay,
- 22:30everything's fine. The Air Force resumes their deliveries. The orders I've taken can
- 22:33be filled. On the other hand, of the plane doesn't work if it
- 22:37goes in the same way that one did yesterday morning. Who gets crisped up?
- 22:41You do, right? So if it does borrow its way into the
- 22:44dirt and takes Whitney Kent with it, at least you know that one line
- 22:47of investigation is closed. What about it? It's worth thinking about. I'll
- 22:52devote quite a lot of thought to your proposition. Good morning. Why do
- 22:59you have this here? Why didn't you let the experts work it out?
- 23:02People like Latimer and Jim Berg and the others. It's their job except for
- 23:06one thing. They can't fly. They can never appreciate how Hank Jordan felt
- 23:10when the plane got away from him. It's beyond their experience, but not
- 23:12beyond yours, because you're not only a flyer, but a hero as well.
- 23:15Yeah, if you wanted that way, that's just how I do feel.
- 23:18You've spent your life shining the seat of your skirt on a stenographer's chair.
- 23:22You don't know any more about it and the rest of them. Who
- 23:23heck you to sneer the guys who fly the plane. I wasn't sneering at
- 23:26the real heroes, Whitney, only the Tony ones. Thanks for those kind
- 23:30words. One of these days you'll eat them and they'll give you indigestion.
- 23:40I swept out of our office and headed down the car door to the office
- 23:41of Milton Moore. I figured he'd be finished with his conference with Chuck pretty
- 23:45soon, and I wanted to talk with the new director. It was easy
- 23:49to ignore More's redheaded secretary's protests, though not a profile, and I settled
- 23:56down in his private office to wait. Is this the customary procedure around here,
- 24:02mister Kent, brusting into people's offices without permission? Oh, I'll give
- 24:06you permission, mister Moore, you can come right in. You're a kind
- 24:10of behavior or something I am not accustomed to. There's something I'm not accustomed
- 24:12to either. That's having a private detective go through my bags in my hotel
- 24:15room. Oh, a Blue Circle agent name of Slade. That's the outfit
- 24:21you engaged, isn't it. What's the idea having them investigate me? Even
- 24:23a young poplike you orter to have sense enough to see that Laimer's accusations against
- 24:27you, wild as they may have been, should be checked. Now,
- 24:30will you get out of my office in a minute. How are things with
- 24:36the ace Arrow Corporation these days? I wouldn't know how were they when you're
- 24:40left? All right? What are they building jets? Naturally bombers or fighters?
- 24:45Fighters as good as the F ninety two K. No, Just what
- 24:51is it you're trying to insinuate, young man? I was just wondering.
- 24:55You pulled a Arrow out of trouble, You put them back on their feet
- 24:57and left them. I wondered why. I wondered if you still had any
- 25:02association with Acero financial Association. I mean, it just occurred to me that
- 25:07if you had, you are backing a losing proposition. When Kent Aircraft produced
- 25:11the F ninety two K. Is that all? No? It also occurred
- 25:15to me that, on the other hand, if Kent Aircraft had a lot
- 25:17of trouble with their planes, then maybe ace Ero could buy them out cheaply
- 25:21when the psychological moment came, and if Asaro could then build the F ninety
- 25:26two K without bugs, they could sell them good. Are you seriously suggesting
- 25:32that I would descend to murder just to protect my capital. I'm not suggesting
- 25:36anything. I'm only thinking out love. I must say you go in for
- 25:40original thinking, Kent. I'd better tell you some of the facts of an
- 25:44executive's life. I didn't have any capital interest in Acero for one simple reason.
- 25:49I didn't have any capital. Twenty five percent holding I have in your
- 25:55father's organization was bought with money loan to me by Owen Holmeyer to invest the
- 26:00money in this firm. He knew what I'd done for ace Aero, so
- 26:03he was prepared to lend me capital to invest. He thought of it as
- 26:07a safeguard for his own investment. Oh so you see, Kent, that
- 26:11if anyone has good reason for wanting Kent Aircraft to sell their F ninety two
- 26:15k's again, it's me, I guess. So now do you mind leaving
- 26:21my office? I have work to do. Of all the crazy fool things
- 26:32to do, not to me, chuck. Mister Moore was having me investigated,
- 26:34so I thought I might give him a little of the same treatment.
- 26:37I'm not talking about that more had it coming. You gave it to him,
- 26:41and me feel sort of proud of you the first time. Oh with
- 26:45me. There were many times when you were in Korea when I was proud
- 26:48of you, and I was proud of you in Europe too, proving that
- 26:52you could sell aircraft with the best of them. What is this old home
- 26:56weekends? But I'm mad at you. How when the name of creation could
- 27:00din'd you do a stupid thing like that? I thought you said more had
- 27:03it coming. I'm not talking about More. I'm talking about that crazy fool
- 27:07offer you made to Geen Latimer. Oh that yeah, that Latimer wants to
- 27:11take you up on the offer. Olmeyern Moore think it's a great idea.
- 27:15What the heck could I say? But you figured it's a great idea too,
- 27:18That's what I did say. So you're all set to fly the next
- 27:22ninety two k when Saturday they're working twenty four hours a day. Oh that's
- 27:26fine, Sue says, you've got a hero complex. I think it's a
- 27:32plane darn full complex. Maybe, But Jean Latimer was right about one thing.
- 27:37I threw the first one away by flying it when I wasn't exactly sober.
- 27:41That gives me a sort of responsibility. Chuck boy scout stuff it's more
- 27:45than that that first plane had bugs. If I'd been sober, I could
- 27:48have told you what particular bugget was. I can't remember anything. Well,
- 27:52well, I've got a feeling. If that plane still has bugs and I
- 27:56fly, I think the memory might come back and I might be able to
- 27:57do something about it. For it's too late. Maybe you aren't such a
- 28:02dawn fool after all, you really want to fly the F ninety two.
- 28:07K of course, Okay, that's what I wanted to know that. It
- 28:11wasn't just bravado. What you say makes sort of sense. I think,
- 28:15Thanks you and comfortable at the beach house. Sure, anytime you feel like
- 28:21eating real food, come up to the house for dinner. Thanks, I'll
- 28:25get out of here. I'm busy, Okay, I'll leave it to a
- 28:27chuck. Well, congratulations with me an interview with your father? Oh,
- 28:41the perfect secretary keeps the other come open so she can hear everything that goes
- 28:45on. Huh. Well, I don't make a habit of it, but
- 28:48I did that time. Come here with me? What for? I'd like
- 28:57to kiss you? Well, so what do I owe that tremendous experience?
- 29:10You could call this an apology? I was quite wrong about you, Whitney,
- 29:14Kent. I'm sort of glad I was wrong too. I'd spent a
- 29:26lot of my time waiting, especially in Korea, but no waiting time was
- 29:30as bad as the days. While the IF ninety two k was got ready.
- 29:33Came Friday and I went down to the planet. The old man was
- 29:36with me. We're fixing the takeoff at seven am tomorrow with I've got it
- 29:41cleared with the Air Force, Okay, thirty minutes to find the area and
- 29:45so forth, so you can collect all the dope this afternoon metroports, et
- 29:48cetera. I thought i'd clicked some flying here to day. I had it
- 29:52taken into the hangar. Here Berg's doubling the guard tonight and is watching things
- 29:56himself as well. Good. Oh, there's a lot of her stroke the
- 30:00fuselage like it was a tame cat. Hello there, Jean. Hi,
- 30:03Whitney, Well, there's nothing wrong with it. I've checked every inch of
- 30:07it, and I shouldn't have any trouble tomorrow. Whitney, it occurs to
- 30:12me that I said a lot of stupid things a while back. I'm sorry,
- 30:15that's okay, Gene. I can appreciate how you felt, and that's
- 30:18my gear there. Huh yup. I think I'd like to take the parachute
- 30:22out and have a look at it, but it's all packed, and I'd
- 30:26like it unpacked. After all, I am flying this batter box tomorrow.
- 30:30Okay, Whitney, whatever you say. I had a queer crawling feeling along
- 30:38my spine when the shoot was unfolded and billowed out and hanger's expense, I
- 30:44realized why there was a six foot slit across the center. That shoot wouldn't
- 30:51have brought a mouse down safely, let alone a guy of my weight,
- 30:53Lahimer, what's the meaning of this? Don't ask me, mister Kent.
- 30:57As far as I knew, that shoot was get them packed properly. Lucky
- 31:00for me, I took a look. I think I'll borrow one from the
- 31:03Air Force and bring it along in the morning and put it in myself.
- 31:07Wait, if they could do that to the shoot, as chuck, what
- 31:11could they do to the plane? Welcome back? Well, I have to
- 31:30admit this is really my favorite of the Card of Brown story so far.
- 31:36Really some good dramatic tension and some real sense of suspense, And this character
- 31:45here is really a multi dimensional multifaceted, so I'm really enjoying this. I
- 31:51hope you are as well, and we will be back for the next part
- 31:57of High Sky Who Do next week. I do want to also let you
- 32:02know that on Monday we have a brand new Johnny Dollar Cereal to go ahead
