of The Saint. Original air date December the tenth, nineteen fifty The title
1:38
The Chiseling Chimpanzee The Adventures of the Saint, starring Vincent Price. The Saint
2:17
based on characters created by Leslie Travers and known to millions from books, magazines,
2:23
and motion pictures. The robin Hood of modern crime now comes transcribe to
2:27
radio, starring Hollywood's brilliant and talented actor Vincent Price as the Saint. I'm
2:37
out of town. I curled up in front of the fire with a good
2:40
book, and I haven't got a good book. Do you have a good
2:46
book? Only the best? Can't wait and learn how to read tonight?
2:49
I am not the illiterates, little friend. Good night. Think it's too
2:53
late. Think of a desert moon. Think of a black sky sprinkled with
2:57
silver star I'm trying another minute now here, a coyote howling. Think of
3:00
a small blonde with big eyes. You don't sound like a small blonde.
3:05
I wouldn't know about the eye. Her name was Marie, in her mood
3:07
was art. You were hiding when you got back with the Holly What she
3:12
slapped me in the fit? Raleighray? How are you, Simon? I'm
3:15
keeping up with my Social Security payments and you making a series of personal appearances
3:20
all over the country in the shrinking flesh the studio's idea, Simon, I
3:23
know it's late, but I've got to see you right away. Well,
3:27
the address is thirty nine Fitch Avenue. If you hurry over, I'll give
3:30
you a shampoo. I already had a shampoo. Stop boasting and come on
3:32
over. You sound worried. Going out of my mind might not be a
3:36
long trip, but Simon, I'm besieged by a gorilla. Hello, Raley,
3:57
Symon, come on, hey, it's good to see. Yeah,
4:00
Marie still remembers you. I duck every time I meet her. Raleigh.
4:04
I hate to get personal, but someone has confused you with grant. This
4:10
tomb is renting. This Marth Eaton mansion was the studios idea. I tried
4:14
to have him put in a small subway, but they got very smited about
4:16
it. It's really a very nice mansion. When did draget to move out?
4:20
Keep this under your hat, but I think he's still around, lurking.
4:25
Let's start the long track, all right. The idea is just just
4:29
set a steady pace and keep to it. Yeah, but how do you
4:30
know you're going in the right direction? The moss on the mornings. Oh
4:34
yeah, see, Raley, what about this gorilla you mentioned over the phone?
4:38
Oh, I'd forgotten about him for a few fleeting moments, Simon.
4:41
The next picture I'm doing is a jungle picture? Oh you mean? Whoa?
4:46
Anyway, the studio got the broad idea of having me photographed next to
4:48
one of our furry little brothers, so they issued a dozen memos, and
4:53
a little man complete with gorilla, showed up here about an hour ago with
4:56
nine thousand photographers. Oh we hear it to the left here, Oh thank
5:00
you. The photographers ran out of flash ball some time ago and left the
5:03
gent with the primate. His name is Prebol the primate, no, the
5:06
gent. He seems to feel reluctant about leaving. Is he bigger than you
5:11
are? No? But then why the desperation called to me? I don't
5:15
know exactly, except that Pribyl isn't some kind of a jam. He wouldn't
5:18
tell me what it was, But shy, no, terrified. I think
5:24
we've made it. The gorilla's only a very small monkeys. And this is
5:30
mister Prebyl. Mister PREBYL. Simon Templar. How do you do? How
5:34
do you do? Simon Templar? Yes, in a haphazard sort of way.
5:41
You're the kind of man who might be able to help me. He'd
5:43
be afraid of you, who would be I don't know if I should tell
5:46
you, because maybe maybe I'm guilty, too, guilty of what I'd better
5:51
go now. Perhaps after I think it over, may I call on you
5:56
for aid, if, of course you may, thank you very much,
6:00
Wenceslaus. We're leaving now, waits Laus. Yes, he's a very talented
6:04
monkey. I've spent years training him. Now perhaps he's going to be the
6:08
reason why I'll go to jail. That is good night, mister Ames.
6:13
You were very cooperative part of my job. But why don't you break down
6:16
and tell mister Templar all thousands, many millions of people I have, I'm
6:20
sure of that. I can't decide whether I can be helped. Please,
6:25
I'll go now if you don't mind, all right, I think you can
6:27
find the front door all by yourself. I'm sure I can't. I'm in
6:30
the phone book, mister Freeble, and i'd suggest you don't wait too long.
6:33
I won't. He's a funny little man. He was practically running when
6:42
he left. Nothing much you can do for him if he won't open up.
6:45
Perhaps not, but Raleigh, let's go after him. But Simon,
6:48
I've seen terror in people's eyes before, and I don't like it. It
6:51
isn't pretty, Samon. If you get any idea about what's bothering, not
6:56
much of one, But from what he said, I'd guessed it somehow,
7:00
and probably innocently, he'd gotten himself involved with something or somebody highly illegal.
7:05
The monkey figure's in it too. He's made the front door. My legs
7:11
hold out and we catch up with him, I'd like to Simon, Yeah,
7:15
that was pre bol Come on, we run for it, and part
7:19
turned the corner too far away to get the license number. Well, maybe
7:25
maybe someone's playing a joke on preeble, Simon. It wasn't a very good
7:30
joke, Rawley. People died, but not laughing. I've pulled the police.
7:46
I'll beeka pretty soon. Good, there's not much point in my remaining,
7:48
and don't even irritate them. All right, But Simon, take the
7:53
monkey with you. Huh what? I'm not the type on which a monkey
7:56
looks good. Besides, I think people would prefer to have you hold onto
7:59
the monk you rather than the police. Maybe you're right the monkey was involved
8:03
in anything and wasn't under police guard. Things might happen, all right,
8:09
I'll take him. I liked people. It could be sticking your neck out
8:13
asking for the axe, Simon gentlemend not to you now. As a matter
8:16
of fact, I liked that too, monkey with murder shut out. What
8:35
would the neighbors say hello? I'd say hello, I've been waiting for you.
8:39
You have, That's why I'm out of breath. Well, it would
8:43
be fun believing that. But when men I ran up the stairs to be
8:46
here ahead of you, Oh it was you and that cab that followed mine.
8:50
Huh shouldn't we discuss this inside? Perhaps we should? The light twitches
9:01
to your right, got it? Oh? Nice? Thank you. My
9:07
name is Simon Temper, I know, and this is Winces Lousy. He's
9:11
a monkey. I know that too. You're very bright. But what's on
9:15
your mind? I'm afraid to tell you? Well, I wonder if I'm
9:18
afraid to hear. Look away for a minute, and well it can't be
9:22
that embarrassed, please, I'm shy. Well all right, I'm looking away
9:28
about having anyone see me take this out of my bag? Oh oh that
9:33
this mm lola? You have deceived me? Have I thought you were preparing
9:37
to tell me how smiften you were by my curly lot. They're cute.
9:43
Yeah, I didn't expect you to point a revolver. I mean, but
9:46
you see, WinCE's loss has even curlier, lot more too. That's right.
9:50
So I'll take him and you can go to sleep. But I'm not
9:54
sleeping. Would you rather be dead? You can't shoot me? Why not?
9:58
It's not in my lease? Why do you want the monkey? I'm
10:01
very fond of Wenceslas an old schoolmate? Or did he belong to someone?
10:05
You love? Simon? You're bitter, You're beautiful, thank you? Why
10:09
Simon? And possibly a murderer. That's the nicest thing anybody has ever said
10:15
to me. Good night, Simon. Don't look around, Lola, but
10:18
someone's just opened the door behind you. Such an old trick, Simon.
10:22
Believe me, this isn't a trick. It isn't going to do me any
10:26
good either. From the luxu things. It's your loved Max. Drop the
10:33
palm, I drop it all right. Now we're all one happy family.
10:41
I'm not happy. What do you want? Uh huh? You want to
10:43
laugh and be merry and you have to do it in my living room.
10:46
And you are a very lucky guy. I count my blessings every night because
10:50
no, you only got a half for explanation to make I was young foolish
10:54
the night with For example, would I have walked in and found Lola their
10:58
sitting in your then you would have had to explain that too. It would
11:03
be silly. The explanation would be obvious if but seeing as how Lula was
11:07
not being friendly all that, you got to explain. How come you got
11:11
the monkey? When's his last? Oh? It's love, Max. He
11:15
loves me from my eyes, obliviates me for my mom. Hah hah.
11:20
I must be getting greater performance. Yeah, and so far you're still alive
11:24
too, not like prebol. Suppose we leave personalities out of this. How'd
11:30
you get the monkey? He followed me home? I'm beginning to stop laughing.
11:33
Oh that's a shame. You have such a jolly laugh. I am
11:37
beginning to get so, Max, keep out of this for the time being.
11:41
You were in a clear He was removing a monkey from this guy here.
11:45
What you were going to do once you had the monkey? I was
11:46
going to bring him to you. Yeah, well, I will decide if
11:48
I want to believe that in my leisure time. Right now, I'm waiting
11:54
for Junior there to make with the lips. You mean you want when's his
11:56
last to chat? I mean you? Oh all right, But there was
12:01
once a young lady of Siam who remarked, oh what a big girl I
12:05
am. Oh you heard that one? Well, how about the monkey?
12:09
I was hoping you wouldn't notice that a little darling picked up all of this
12:13
gun. Listen, pl you woke me. I write your cue all.
12:16
On the other hand, thank you, Wenceslaus. You see fond of my
12:20
shoulder. Now I've got a gun too. Well, how do you like
12:26
that? It's a nice touch. Wentz's last is very bright. Now I
12:30
got a gun point and that you that you've got a gun point with me.
12:33
That's beautifully for it. And if we was to trade bullets, maybe
12:37
one of us might get out of line. Ah, but which one right
12:41
now? I ain't sure. I want to find out. How about U
12:45
arbitrating? Of course, you drop your gun and get out of here,
12:48
and I'll go to sleep. I don't have to drop my gun to get
12:52
out of here. That's true enough. All right, let's observe that happy
12:56
event. Get out. But I gotta have the monkey doesn't like you.
13:00
I still, hey, host, play with the light, Lola. Somebody
13:07
left, perhaps a couple of somebodies. I don't know yet. Don't put
13:11
the lights on. Why, I'm afraid of what we'll see. Shooting's over,
13:16
I've got to I was so frightened. So I've nobody's been shot.
13:22
Max is gone. Somebody has been shot. Low. Oh a monkey,
13:30
Yeah, he's dead. I'm sorry about that. I sort of liked Wenceslaus.
13:35
Wenceslaus isn't interested anymore. I am, though, my liking you not
13:41
at the moment. What I meant was Wenceslaus wasn't killed by accident. He
13:46
was off by himself when he was shot. He was murdered. That's strange.
13:52
Monkey murdered, very strange. What could he have known that Andy had
13:58
to die? Simon? You just lovely? He maybe promised to take you
14:13
to Max. Not see the taxing going after Max? Oh? Perhaps not.
14:18
But I like Wenceslaus, I even like Prebele. Still, it's no
14:22
real concern of yours. Preble was killed shortly after I'd met him. Wenceslaus
14:28
was murdered in my apartments. Thanks at all sort of personal Besides, I
14:33
don't admire killers. How about me? You killed anyone? Oh uh uh?
14:37
In that case, I could very easily well believe you, and if
14:41
he did, then I could very easily was Yeah, hum, warm night,
14:46
isn't it? No cold paper, says breeze the warm knight? Your
14:50
mind? No? Uh, but uh, what will the cab driver think?
14:56
What do you think he'll think? You'll think what I think he'll think?
15:01
Uh, we've arrived. It's not likely to go down in history as
15:03
a deathless statement. But helloa, alright, I'll pay the driver. There's
15:11
a little something for your income tax return. Oh, aks question, Let's
15:16
go. Max will be here. Yeah, we wait for him. You
15:20
see, this isn't Max's house, Oh belongs to his boss. Well,
15:24
it's nice to know Max isn't among the unemployed. Simon, I always am.
15:31
I meant, well, remember what happened to the monkey? Nobody could
15:33
confuse me with a monkey? I I shaved good evening, mister hake Lola,
15:41
May we come in? Of course, I'm into the parlor. Naturally,
15:48
that's where the villain always leads the fair heroine and handsome hero Uh,
15:54
Lola, I require an introduction, mister haik. This is Simon Templar Simon,
15:58
mister, how do you do? Delighted the potter? Make yourselves comfortable?
16:07
I'm doing my best to sound like a spider. Shall I try to
16:11
look like a fly? It wouldn't work. Rather an odd combination. Lola
16:15
and the Saints, both for the same you mustn't take the name literally,
16:18
And for Lola Heke, I tried to get the monkeys and Roland Dames's autographed
16:23
at the same time. No, Simon, I'm deeply fascinated. But you
16:29
must know all about that. Oh well, Max must have told you.
16:33
We'll bypass that for the moment. Max must have told you he killed a
16:37
monkey. He told me nothing of the sort. Well, the monkey's dead,
16:41
so Max, Yeah, mistake, Max. I have just been informed
16:49
that you assassinated whence this allows killed him? Who said so? That?
16:55
For the moment is irrelevant? Did you or did you not kill the monkey?
16:57
Will you think I'm not so or something? At chimps the only one
17:00
who knows where the stone. Shut up, eh, you blithering idiot.
17:03
I should send you back to driving a truck. In the name of the
17:07
American truck Driver. I resent that I beg your body. The American truck
17:11
driver is courteous, considered it, and always helpful to the motorists in time
17:14
of trouble would Max Bey, don't pay no attention to him, mister Hank,
17:18
I did knock off that chip lower, of course he did. Simon
17:22
and I were both there when he did it. The room was dark at
17:23
the time, Loler. Max may have shot the monkey by mistake, or
17:29
he may not have shot the monkey at all. Then who did There were
17:32
only three people in the room, you, Max and myself. But you
17:36
wouldn't have shot the monkey, Simon except by accident. That's out. I
17:38
didn't fire a gun at all, No me neither. When the lights went
17:41
out, I went away fast. This is beginning to look like like a
17:45
job on me. On the other hand, Lola, you did go after
17:48
the monkey alone. You tried to get him from mister Templar alone. Is
17:52
it possible you wanted the monkey dead because he'd already shown you? Mister Templar,
18:00
you're not one of us. Well, I haven't been black bald yet.
18:03
You may consider yourself black bald and leave. I don't think so,
18:06
Max. No, Max, I still have the gun, the one I
18:08
didn't fire back at my apartment. Remember, mister hack, exactly what is
18:12
your interest? Temper? The stones? What the ones? Max mentioned a
18:17
few minutes ago. I might want to play on your team. Need you
18:22
be so wholesome about it? There were three people involved, you, Lola,
18:26
Max. Obviously, either Lola or Max have disqualified themselves. I'll take
18:30
his or her share. But my dear fellow, if Lola has anticipated this,
18:34
there'll be nothing to share. But if she hasn't, there's still no
18:37
reason to include you. Because you see, the monkey is dead. Preble
18:41
also is dead. A remark of the utmost irrelevance mat precisely. You see,
18:47
Preble had to die because he was an honest man. Preble was an
18:49
idiot. Max. How did you know Preble was dead? I hold it
18:55
on all radio, and you, mister Hag the same source. What did
18:57
the bulletins say? Nothing beyond the fact that people were shot tot dead.
19:03
I see, Let's go back a bit. You must have hired the monkey
19:07
from Preble, but of course you'd have told him it was for a joke.
19:11
People believed you at first, but when he stopped believing you, when
19:15
he realized what you'd used the monkey for, you had to kill him when
19:18
he realized what mister templar Max has mentioned stones in English jewels. Obviously,
19:25
all three of your thieves jewel thieves then, but obsessed with a monkey?
19:29
Why we're fond of monkeys. That's a pretty sentiment, but untrue. You
19:33
must have used the monkey to get a jewels that were inaccessible to any human
19:37
being, but something went wrong? What went wrong, mister Templer? The
19:42
monkey got the jewels, but he must have evaded you and disposed of them
19:47
someplace. But where That's your problem, isn't it what the monkey did with
19:52
the jewels? But the monkey is dead now. He'll never show you,
19:56
mister hack. He's too smart, Perhaps you'll suggest, Lola, is I
20:00
think we ought to get rid of him? Oh, Lola, you've wounded
20:03
me to that quick, aren't you? Forgetting? My dear that he has
20:04
a gun, which he's pointing at us. That's my gun. It's not
20:07
loaded. You could be lying, Lola. I don't want to find out
20:11
the hard way, all right, Simon? Shoot me? Oh no,
20:14
thanks, I never shoot beautiful women. An interesting dilemma, Come ahead,
20:18
mister Templar be a sport. Shoot, Lola, have a better idea.
20:22
Let's find the jewel. I will borrow a monkey from a pet chop.
20:27
We'll put that monkey in the same circumstances when sus Laus within, and maybe
20:32
he'll do the same thing an idea. Yes, I don't trust him,
20:34
you don't. Then that perhaps is a very good reason for accepting his suggestion,
20:40
mister Templar, And shall we go borrow a monkey? Yeah, but
20:56
when sus Laust was prettier, this one looks more. I don't imagine that
21:00
matters, does it, Lola? I don't care. What do you think?
21:03
Max? To me? A monkey's a monkeys, Max the realist?
21:07
Well, shall we try Lola's place first? A splendid idea might save us
21:14
a good deal of time, mister Ake, don't you think I think nothing?
21:17
I know a few things. One, we use the monkey to break
21:19
into a to pick up a few jewels for us. He did so and
21:23
then disappeared for a while. He could have been at your place, Loder,
21:26
or at Max's, where we finally located the monkey. The jewels were
21:30
gone, and perhaps our little substitute will find them, which would be very
21:34
nice for the survivors. Well, he's been all over my apartment, made
21:47
a mess of it and found nothing, Nor did we at Temple. I'm
21:51
afraid that Lola's innocent. Then suppose we try Max's happy little home next.
22:06
Hey, that monkey just knocked over my least but a real lemon juice lemonses
22:10
you found of vitamins? Max, No, I keep it in memoriam of
22:14
a girl I used to know who raised lemons only on me. All she
22:18
ever raised was lumps. There was not a corner nor cranny at this place
22:22
that hasn't been investigated. A templary, I know. But we're not at
22:26
the end of our said yet. So where do we go next? Mister
22:29
Hack mentioned your place and Max is lola he forgot to mention his own house
22:34
or did he forget that? And I hope no one is bitterly disappointed?
22:48
Is that no jewels in my home? Either? Quite right? No jewels?
22:52
That means none of us took them. It also means not unless Wincess
22:57
lows toins into a ghostly toins to haught this. We don't ever find no
23:02
stone at which I'm happy part. I suggest we call it today night,
23:04
rather, may I ask for your absence, olider. Hey, wait a
23:08
minute, and I still want to know where them stones are. I put
23:11
a lot of hard waken on that jock. He's still you idiots. He's
23:14
right mister Hake. Of course he's right. You're right, I'm right.
23:18
It's the blasted monkey's wrong. We mustn't speak ill of the dead. The
23:22
blasted monkey is dead, so, by the way, it's people. Incidentally,
23:26
why was he killed merely because he suspected his monkey had been used illegally?
23:32
That doesn't convince, But that was what you yourself said. I was
23:34
making conversation at the time. I needed an opportunity to check searching all three
23:40
houses for the jewels. Now that's over, it checks. Will you get
23:45
in that the reason the monkey had to be killed? You are nets Max,
23:51
You're actually showing signs of intelligence. Temply we wanted that monkey alive.
23:56
Sure, the monkey was the only one who knew where the jewels were.
24:00
But you see that proves whoever killed Preeble and the monkey had already found the
24:03
jewels. Keep talking, Preble was killed, but his killer made no attempt
24:07
to grab the monkey. Strange, No, because it proves the killer had
24:11
no use for the monkey. He already had the jewels or she that is.
24:15
And pardon here for pointing one of you already has the jewels and is
24:21
trying to keep them all. I wouldn't like anybody trying that. Why are
24:26
you looking at me? Simon me still both of you, mister Templar,
24:30
you interest me not at all, strangely, pray continue, I'd rather continue
24:33
with his gun in my hand. Now then, Lola, how did you
24:38
find your way to my apartment? Earlier this evening, I've been following Preble.
24:44
He was shot. I saw you leave with the monkey, so I
24:45
followed you. Jew Max, I was following. Huh can either of you
24:49
alibi the other? I didn't even know he was following me. Hey,
24:52
he Now that you bring it up, she ditched me for a while,
24:56
Let's skip to my apartment. Who shot them? Monkey? Lola? That
25:00
I like? I don't because she had no gun. I had her gun,
25:04
remember, well was the final shots Holst Max. I'm beginning to wonder
25:08
about it. I got my lift, you got Lola's. It ain't loaded,
25:12
don't bet on it. Lola is quite a liar, Max. It's
25:18
just a flesh wound. Max, I've been practicing. I'll take your gun,
25:23
well two gun temper on your way out, Templar, take the big
25:26
off with you and throw him to the police with you. I prefer they
25:30
didn't have to come here to pick him up, considering my profession. Yes,
25:36
not to mention considering your guilt. I beg your pardon, mister Hay.
25:41
How did you know Preble and his monkey had gone to visit a movie
25:45
star, specifically Roland Dane. Well I didn't, I mean you mean you
25:48
did? Remember you asked Lola if she had gotten Roland name's autograph. How
25:53
did you know that the monkey was at the Ames Place? Well? I
25:56
I heard it over the radio. But according to your own statement, all
26:00
the radio bulletin said was that Preble had been shot to death. HM.
26:03
No reply, Huh you knew because you wanted to silence Preval and you did.
26:11
You didn't bother about the monkey because you already had the jewels, But
26:14
when you saw me leave with Wence's lance, she began to worry. The
26:17
police hands the monkey would have been safe for you, but in mind with
26:22
Lowland Max both after me, that monkey represented danger to you. Then you
26:26
came after it shot the monkey, and mister Hake, I hate the point
26:30
that you have a date with a death cell and that Raleigh is the story
26:45
of how I foiled mister hack, Julie and murderer. I'm insulted. I
26:51
was never even a suspect, Simon. What happened to Max in jail too?
26:56
An old burglary charged at a new lease on life when the police saw
27:00
him sad and the girl Lola? Uh rolly, you know something? Why?
27:07
Lola is also a small blonde with big eyes like Marie. But Simon,
27:12
she's a cross. Oh not really. Her heart's in the right place,
27:15
left side. I mean she was just young and foolish. We've all
27:21
made our mistakes, right, especially with small blonde. Hello, Yeah,
27:26
he's here, Simon Viel, Thanks hello Lola? Why? Yes, of
27:30
course? Ten minutes right? Good bye, Simon, you're going out with
27:37
it. She the type of girl who would be persona grata the YWCA.
27:44
H. I won't take her to the y w c A. Is she
27:47
the type of girl your mother would have loved? My mother? Isn't taking
27:49
her out? Raleigh? I h Simon, you're treading on a very dangerous
27:55
path. I refer to the one surrounded by primroses. Marie. Yeah,
28:03
I don't say another word. I'll call her back and ask if she's got
28:10
a friend for you. M you've been listening to another transcribed adventure of the
28:26
saint the robin hood of modern crime. I'll hear us our star vincent Price
28:32
ladies and gentlemen. As responsible parents, you never think of allowing your children
28:37
to play with poison, and as responsible Americans, it's your duty to protect
28:41
them from the dangers of the poison we call prejudice. Be in America,
28:45
racial and religious hatred does exist, sustained by the political adventurers in plain crack
28:52
parts who are willing to scrap the democratic way of life to attain their own
28:56
ends. Prejudice in America is centered in their adult fore life. But unless
29:00
we guard ourselves and our families, it can find its way into our own
29:04
lives. Then the poison would do its work undermining America's unity, sabotaging our
29:11
prestige abroad, and wrecking our ideal of individual freedom. In your family life,
29:15
you can effectively carry on a campaign against prejudice. Our youngsters grow up
29:21
with a pride in their country. Teach them that part of that pride is
29:25
our tradition of accepting or rejecting people on their individual work, not on the
29:30
basis of race, or religion or color. Remember, freedom and prejudice cannot
29:36
exist side by side. If you choose freedom fight prejudice. This is Vincent
29:41
Price inviting you to join us again next week at the same time for another
29:45
exciting adventure of the Saint. Good Night. This Adventure of the Saint was
30:11
written by Lewis Viddies. In our cast you Heard Maggie Morley as Lola and
30:15
George Nie as Roland names Max was played by Sheldon Leonard and The Hate by
30:21

30:26
Saint, based on characters created by Leslie charteris as a James L. Sofia
30:29
production and is directed by Helen Lank. Vincent Price is soon to be seen
30:33

30:40
news stands. You're an Answer, Don Stanley Three Chimes Mean Good Times on

dramatic story Lati Dundas, starring Dorothy McGuire and Jessica Tende. So remember enjoying
31:11
the Big Show with Jimmy Dardy and Emog and Cocha. Later today on NBC
31:25
Welcome Back. Well, a few nice twists on the typical detective agrees to
31:30
watch an animal story. Of course, you have Simon taking the animal with
31:33
very little grumbling, and then you have the sad twist of the monkey getting
31:38
killed. But we have to remember, as we would say in films today,
31:42
no monkeys were harmed in the recording of this radio broadcast. And you
31:48
have to admire the Saint keeping close track on his suspects by holding them at
31:55
gunpoint and acting perhaps interested on in splitting with them on their illegal scheme.
32:02
And this is probably something that only the Saint could get away with. All
32:07
right, well, enough of my commentary. I'll stop monking around, and
32:10
apologies for the punt in advance, and we get to some listener comments and
32:15
feedback, and this one regarding the Saint or Vincent Price. Sharon says Sint
32:25
Price was a wonderful swab smooth villain. Well thanks for the comment, Sharon.
32:32
I definitely know the reputation, and I think that I didn't experience it
32:44
much growing up. I've seen him as a villain in the back and also
32:49
an episode of Climax. He was just frightening as the villain. Not really
32:54
a lot swave about him. My big villain is remembrance of Vincent growing up,
33:00
was as Egghead on the nineteen sixties Batman show. Egghead was one of
33:07
my favorites, and so I definitely had an appreciation of Vincent Price for that
33:12
particular role. But that is I think one thing that makes the saint interesting.
33:16
This program was really before Vincent Price really became synonymous with the horror genre
33:24
and villainy and his career was viewed as more open as to what direction it
33:30
would take, and so you get to hear him playing this really suave euro
33:36
And there are a few other interesting roles. I saw him in an episode
33:43
of Crossroads, which is a public now a public domain nineteen fifties show where
33:50
he played a Anglican minister, and that one is actually available at archive dot
33:55
org for those who want to see Vincent Price and something very very different from
34:00
both the saint and from his typical roles. And here we have an email
34:06
from Taffy or sent a message to my Facebook. Anyway, in the early
34:13
seventies, late at night, we'd pass our bedtime. Colorado State University use
34:22
to play old time radio shows. Five of my siblings and I would crawl
34:27
under some covers and play the radio. It was mostly Western stoves, but
34:31
that ignited my love for old time radio shows. So delighted to find the
34:37
great detectives of old time radios a few years ago. Love being introduced to
34:43
new shows and interesting characters. Thank you Adam for sharing your passion. Well,
34:49
thanks so much for the comment Taffy and radio is definitely something that's better
34:55
to do for bed than paying attention to a screen from recent studies I've seen,
35:02
and ideally it's something I should someday add to a list to get away
35:07
from screens, a little bit further away from bedtime and take advantage of having
35:13
all these radio dramas. But thanks so much for the comment. That will
35:16
do it for today. We will be back tomorrow with Man from Homicide.
