and it in turn agreed to be a little more tolerant or starched collars.
3:43
I am going to bed. Oh no, you are coming. Hmm.
3:46
You know, with one swift gesture you have given me six good reasons why
3:51

4:14
mister Arundo. Button had a couple of ticket windows scattered around a few timetables

and could easily pass for the home of the super chief employer. Await you
4:23
in the study, mister temporar, you call us this is a white priests.
4:26
Yes, now, look, would it'd be too much to ask you

4:34
Well you wait, I wait? Ho ha ha, mister Button,
4:46
I have brought mister temple sup Oh yes, thank you George. I I
4:56
must have dozed up, mister Templary. It was good of you too,
5:00
but I am half as good as it was of George to bring me.
5:01
He is very persuasive, eh, mister Temple saying, no, Colm,
5:05
I invite him at the point of a pistol, you call himself. No,
5:10
no, I fell asleep. That will be all. I'm sorry George
5:17
had to resort to melodrama, mister Templar. I I mean, look,
5:23
you will forgive me. I'm sure it's all a mistake. What's all a
5:26
mistake? This, this incident. I never should have sent for you,
5:30
my nerves. I'm a victim of my own imagination. Remarkable, Eh,
5:34
here you are trembling, yet scarcely two minutes ago, according to you,
5:38
you were in your study. Then nothing but what is fear in that trembling?
5:43
Mister Button and on your face too? You're scared witless scared people don't
5:46

5:50
been here. That was a long ride across town with your chauffeur's gun in
5:55
my ribs, long and unpleasant. But I didn't tell George to use a
5:59
gun. We can talk in your study, and now you mustn't go in
6:01
there. You Oh uh, you shouldn't have done that. I tried to
6:10
keep him out of here. I knew you didn't want him to see that.
6:15
Why are you pointing that gun at me? What are you ping the
6:17
door? Mister tempor, mister tempora, Oh, mister temper, here I
6:30

jobs, all right. Oh that's a funny place to put a chair.
9:05
A chair will belong over here. Oh, mister Templar, you say I
9:07
am the losing job. Why we have a quaint saying in this country,
9:11
George, chauffeur lose job if employer lose life. Who was that on?
9:33
Tex boy? Let's speak up. It's me if that means anything. Hey,
9:39
you're late. I expect you yet. What is this you ain't mala.
9:43
Name's Templar, all right, So the name's Templar. What are you
9:46
doing aboard my ship? Looking? Your customs man? You're the captain,
9:50
third officer, captain, want to shore? I'm in George. Look,
9:54
fella, you boys from customs already went over this vessel three times since we
9:58
docked this morning. Three times. It's the usual procedure, isn't it?
10:01
Three times as usual? And each time, so though the ship is practically
10:05
dismantled. What goes pal here? You tell me? I don't know what
10:09
you boys are looking for, mister, but I'll tell you here now.
10:11
It ain't on board the Tuscany. This is an honest ship. Yeah,
10:13
And I'm the captain of the Pinna for You got a man named Stiano on
10:18
board. Look, mister Stieno's a good guy, one of the best men
10:22
on this ship. He works hard, no complaints, He's loyal, efficient,
10:24
a good all around man. That's Stieno. You know him pretty well,
10:28
know him. I'm him. Well, I'm glad to meet a good,
10:31
loyal, efficient, uncomplaining, all around man. You know a man
10:35
named Button, No, you say button, button liking what one is sometimes
10:41
told to do with one's lip, button liking button galleries? Button? Yeah,
10:46
I know about his art gallery, that's all. What about it?
10:48
We hold cargo, fhon this voyage a creek we picked up in Genoa that's
10:52
in Italy. Yeah, great, filled with paintings, valuable and rare.
10:58
I seen them paintings, They're valuable. Then we're both the captain of the
11:01
Pinafore. Oh bad. All I can say is fully what smug fails to
11:07
do to the human eye? Looking at these pictures? Does how many seven
11:11
hum? They were sent ashore? Yeah? Look, all I know is
11:16
we're loading cargo and general a guy comes on with this here, Craig.
11:20
He gives me a song and dance about taking extra special care this valuable light,
11:24
so don't get banged around like cargo sometimes does. That's all he asked
11:28
of you. And also to deliver it after it cleared through customs delivery.
11:31
Where so the guy's consigned to doctor Webbert, the Button art galleries to nobody
11:35
else. He says, just this here, doctor Webber, and I shall
11:37
be handsomely rewarded. What were you? I'll let you know when Miller gets
11:41
back. I hope you found the art gallery still open, and I'll tell
11:45
you right now. He didn't know then what did he do with it?
11:48
I'm inclined to think he brought it to the one man. He shouldn't have
11:52
brought it to Orlando. Button. Oh and this guy in Italy says,
11:56
make sure nobody gets it, but this doctor Webber, how about that for
12:00
luck? A lousing mistake is going to cost me my handsome rewar, and
12:03
you're getting it right. That same mistake may cost mister Button his life.
12:18
I lost say, yeah, I want to make sure it was. You'll
12:24
just come off the ship. I'm kind of glad it's your sucker, you
12:28
know. I'm kind of glad to see you too. Let's see how good
12:37
you are without the gutting your sucker. Don't worry about it. When I
12:41
finished tearing it up, I promise you I'll give it back to you.
12:46
Come on, what ill wind brought you out of retirement? Case? No
12:50
temper might kind of work with it. When the guy says he's retired is
12:54
either trying to kid the cops or kid himself. You mean there's always another
13:00
hudler mood would force you back into it. Eh, and let's have some
13:03
talk. Let's go down first. Let loose to talk first. I'll loosen
13:11
your tongue with a little history. When I first knew you, you worked
13:13
for Scorelli as his trigger till he was deported a couple of years back.
13:18
My, you're full of news. What do you want from me? Said?
13:24
Who hired you to squeeze the trigger on me? Nobody has to hire
13:26
me the gun? You don't say with me? That's slaver of love.
13:31
I want my arm. You breaking turning loose? Hey, okayse that guy
13:37
that there's someone behind you. You've developed a decided talent for ventriloquism. He's
13:41
no ventriloquist, and I'm no dummy. Uh uh? Who are you?
13:48
I'm just a man with a gun, and the gun is in your back.
13:52
Turn him loose, he's loose. Oh, sure, came along when
13:58
I'm most huh the Welsh. Won't you get right over there? Oh?
14:01
Who gonna handle a sucker? I'll handle him. You'll beat it, okay,
14:05
pal, okay, alright, turn around, templar carefully, very carefully.
14:15
Good. He did that very nicely. Yeah. I've been taking dancing
14:18
lesson. It's too bad someone doesn't sell lessons in how to mind one's own
14:22
business. From now on, you're keeping your nose out of this affair.
14:26
It doesn't concern you, clear like Tapioka. Yeah, I get shanghaied by
14:31
a fast drawing Oriental with a gun. I get my skull bashed so hard
14:35
my brains are threatening to move out of the neighborhood. I I get very
14:39
sincerely menaced by a beady eyed bandit with intent to kill. And now you
14:43
come along and tell me this affair doesn't concern me. Oh, this really
14:46
happened. If I were dreaming, it wouldn't be about those kind of things.
14:50
Okay, So what's the angle all this mishmash? I can only make
14:54
wild guesses. None of my ideas have had their final fittings. Yet I
15:00
suppose you tell me, uh, what angle are you wearing today? Like
15:03
I told you, saint me. I'm just a man with a gun,
15:07
so he said. And the paintings, paintings, Yeah, the creative paintings
15:13
seven in number that arrived today from Italy for the Button galleries. Now I'm
15:16
dreaming. You mean you're chasing paintings. You mean you're not chasing paintings.
15:22
Friend, Either you're deliberately throwing me a curve or we're not even playing in
15:26
the same ball game. Now, I'm not chasing paintings. What I'm chasing
15:30
is just a little more dangerous. And he wouldn't say that if you were
15:33
wearing my aching head. I'll be seeing you art lover. Yeah, it's
15:37
inevitable. And if you should run across an old party named Orlando Button before
15:41
I do, will you please do something to help him stay alive? And
15:46
this is the last pipe dreamer I'll listen to. Why can't this old party
15:50
manage to stay alive on his own efforts? And this is one of the
15:54
wild guesses I was telling you about the last time I saw Button, he
15:56
was a very frightened man. The kind of fright that only comes to a
16:00
man who expects he's going to be killed. If I see him, I'll
16:04
do what I can to stop him from being afraid. And that statement can
16:08
be taken two ways, and in the light of the fact that it was
16:12
pronounced by a fellow who hobknobs with killer Casack, goodbye, change, And
16:17
if I were you, I'd worry about trying to keep myself alive. H
16:33
M, good morning. I believe the door is plainly marked private, isn't
16:38
it. One finds it difficult to believe all one reads these days. You
16:44
know it's nice. What's nice that they don't hang all the works of art
16:48
in this gallery on the wall. Some of it sits in a low cut
16:52
dress behind a sign that says, assistant to the director, you wish to
16:56
see someone. Actually, my wish is to remain here with you, but
16:59
I'd never get to see doctor Weber that way. You have an appointment with
17:02
doctor Weber. No, well, I'm afraid he can't see you. Then
17:03
he's very busy. And then I see mister button. Mister button, this
17:07
is the Button not Galleries, isn't it. You will have to make an
17:11
appointment with mister Button at his home. He rarely comes down to the galleries
17:15
anymore. And then I see doctor Weber. After all, you not only
17:18
find it difficult to believe all you read, but all you hear as well.
17:21
Doctor Webber never sees anyone without an Oh, it is you, mister
17:25
Temporar. Hello, George, you find employer? No, George, gentlemen
17:30
is a friend of yours? George, Oh, very good friend. Mister
17:33
Simon Templar is the saying greater detective makes words appear on paper with ashes.
17:37
Very crabb Oh, it's nothing really to it. A detective something wrong?
17:41
Employer missing? What? Oh, he's mysterious. Craig come last night by
17:48
sailor employer and I we open. Employer get angry. I could praise this,
17:52
Send me quick to drug store. Then I come back. It is
17:56
a drug store. Huh. Look here, what's this all about? About
18:00
a creative paintings from Genoa for doctor Webber paintings? We weren't expecting anything from
18:06
Italy. Perhaps doctor Webber was. I most certainly would have known if the
18:10
director was expecting a shipment. And what's all this about, mister Button?
18:12
I wish you'd explained. Go see doctor Webber. M maybe he likes mystery
18:17
stories too, mister Templars. Way, oh, miss Harper, I go
18:22
party car? Or is this my car? Oh no, George, you
18:25
don't have to what he's a wellnessy party show car. You two Wednesley.
18:29
This why I'll come here, but you can pass it by this week,
18:30
George, I haven't used my car much since the last time you gave it
18:33
a bath in a Polish. I'll carry her bitter hard skip this week through
18:37
this door. Mister Templer. Oh no, I'd like you to catalog,
18:41
isn't it. Oh we have a visitor. This is Simon Templar, Doctor
18:45
Webber, how do you do? Seems we have a mystery on our hands,
18:48
doctor, A mystery splendid. It was beginning to get a trifle dollar
18:52
out of here, thank you. There's nothing like a little mystery to brighten
18:56
things up a bit, is that? Especially if you're one of those people
19:00
who enjoys going to funerals? Doctor m And let's just say that someone when
19:06
last scene was terrified. And let's also say that that someone hasn't been seen
19:10
since. But who, mister Button, According to George, he's been missing
19:14
since last night. I see, mister Templer, Am I to understand that
19:18
just because mister Button wasn't home last night, you are assuming that he's been
19:22
murdered. Well, that is more or less a condensed version. Yes,
19:25
I believe the little verse goes like this. Don't make tragedies out of trifles.
19:30
Don't do butterflies with rifles. It's just as foolish to make a trifle
19:33
out of what might well be a tragedy. Perhaps I should give you the
19:38
full length version, now, huh, Perhaps you should, mister Templer.
19:41
Afraid to arrive from Italy yesterday, the Tuscany from Genoa. It carried a
19:48
small crate consigned to you, doctor Webert the gowery here. But I received
19:52
no crate. What was hating paintings, doctor, and from what Siana tells
19:56
me, extremely bad paintings. But where are they? Doctor? Let's let
20:02
these pictures speak for themselves. Where are they? I never heard of them
20:06
until this moment. I wasn't even in town yesterday you were. I was
20:11
in Tropogo attending a fraternity convention. There was no create of paintings delivered here
20:15
to the gallery yesterday, mister Temple, I should they weren't delivered to the
20:18
gallery. Miss Arthur. The seamen who carried the crate in Stiana's place,
20:23
found the gallery closed when he arrived, so he did the next best thing
20:26
he thought. He had no way of knowing, of course, that old
20:30
mister Button had more or less retired from business, leaving doctor Weber in charge
20:34
of his gallery. And so rather than lud the crate all the way back
20:37
to the ship, he brought it over to the Button residence well, and
20:41
mister Button opened the thing up, curious to see what sort of stuff his
20:44
gallery was buying these days. I suppose probably wished he was dead. I'm
20:49
afraid his wish was granted all too soon. Why would anyone take the trouble
20:53
to ship us bad paintings? That's what I wondered for a while too,
20:57
That's what Button must have wan wandered, But not for long. He tumbled
21:02
on to it practically at once. Unto what mister Templar. You're aware,
21:06
of course, of the National Treasure's Act or whatever they call it in Italy,
21:10
which prevents the export of great Italian works of arts. Of course we're
21:12
aware of it. The Italian government has had it in force for years.
21:15
They're perfectly right in not wanting our great works of arts scattered about the world
21:18
when it rightly belongs in Italy. Seven paintings were over paintings over painting.
21:26
Surely you've heard of the technique of painting over and oil painting with guash with
21:30
a water soluble paint on the surface. These pictures look like something not even
21:36
a lumber company calendar would be caught dead with underneath, as mister Button found
21:40
when George came back from the drug store with materials to remove the paint,
21:44
they found masterpieces by master artists of the Renaissance. What should Yes, I'm
21:51
sure several dozen of Italy's treasures have been missing ever since the war. The
21:56
customs men tell me the Italian government had a tip that some had recently been
22:00
ship to New York Power On what ship? No one knew. But mister
22:03
Button, what did he do when he well, being an honest man with
22:07
a reputation of many years, is a reputable art dealer. He was shocked.
22:11
He said his chauffeur to fetch me. When I got there, he
22:14
told me he changed his mind. I can assume that Button had his mind
22:18
changed for him at the point of a gun, speaking of points of guns.
22:25
What do you think of the point of this one? Hell? Okay,
22:27
sick as your arm, it's sore, saft, very sore, but
22:33
not a source your head is going to be when I throws some lady,
22:34
what is it? That's exactly what the boss wants to know? What is
22:40
okay? Boss, you're coming on? Hellocent, You've got a good memory
22:45
for faces, scent. It's been a lot of years. Who could ever
22:48
forget a face like yours? SCRELLI if could win an ugly contest anywhere where
22:53
this guy talks kizzick, a guy would think you're old. An invisible gun
22:57
doesn't make any difference that he can't see it. Boss, you'll feel it
23:00
as good as anybody. I remember the meaning of this intrusion. You and
23:03
judge of this gent. I am doctor Webber, the director, and the
23:06
them. Miss Arthur is my assistant. You'll do all right by yourself.
23:11
Fat So maybe have to we knock off the saint and fats so here we'll
23:14
keep it around a little. It brings you back to this country, carelly.
23:19
The crime wave became just a ripper when you were reported. I'm moving
23:22
back in said bigger than ever. First I got to clear something up.
23:26
Uh what thought of something? Except for you people and a few are my
23:29
boys, nobody knows carely smuggled himself back in on the Tuscany. You people
23:33
ain't going to be around long enough to tell a fly about it. So
23:37
I want to know something. Why don't you try asking? I am asking.
23:40
I have Kazach. You're watching that ship day and night to see if
23:42
anyone is wise to anything, See if the federal guys are maybe here that
23:47
I come in on her and I'll retres him and they are, that's what
23:51
you're gonna tell me, sing Kazak tells me, sees you snooping about the
23:55
Tuscany. He says, lots of other guys too, guys with with that
23:57
cup look about them. They are a kind of cop at that's Grelly.
24:02
They know SCURRELLI was smuggled in on that boat. They're looking for me,
24:06
saying, these particular cops are customs Inspector Scarrelly. They're looking for pictures.
24:11
Uh, pictures, yeah, painting. Oh that's good news. You're not
24:17
Kissack. They're not looking for Scarrelli. They don't know him back yet.
24:21
Let's get rid of these suckers. Then boys, they got mouth, Yeah,
24:23
stuck up at it. You're the doctor save the Saints for last,
24:29
all right, Propert Kazak, Yes, I got it right, said profit.
24:33
All right, all right, everybody, all right? Who who are
24:38
you, Dick Tracy? I've already told you, Templar, I'm just a
24:42
man with a gun. That gun wouldn't happen to be federal property, would
24:45
it? It would? And now you're gonna ask, how come a federal
24:48
agent lets a mug like Kazak loose after he's been shooting his gun off of
24:52
the private citizen. I know, how come if I'd gone through with my
24:56
intention of breaking off mister Kazaks time, he'd have led you to a hostel
25:00
instead of where you wanted him to lead you. Huhl right, mister Templar,
25:03
Come on, boys, let's get away from this smart guy and be
25:07
careful with those hands. Now what was it you were saying before about things
25:15
getting a trifle doll around here? Dr Webber? Uh, this is about
25:19
the unusual morning, mister Templar, and the crime wave in your office isn't
25:22
over yet. We're back to playing button button, mister Templar. I'd prefer
25:26
it, and so would doctor Webber if you put your cards on the table
25:30
all at once instead of one at a time. Is that enough suspense for
25:33
one morning? Are you choosing Doctor Webber? Tall? Are you? Doctor?
25:37
Eh? Well, I'm almost six feet and you, Miss Arthur,
25:41
really, mister Templer a tall about five feet? Doctor? You wouldn't ever
25:48
wear high heels, would you? High heels that left an impression on the
25:52
leather upholstery of a chair that had been moved alongside of a doorway. I
25:56
don't follow you, Miss Arthur. Does she anticipated my wish to go into
26:02
Button's library last night? Naturally that wouldn't do at all. The paintings were
26:07
there, and a couple of them already had the overpaint removed. Correct,
26:11
Miss Hohather, you're insane. That rap across the skull you gave me is
26:15
probably what made me insane, being a rather little girl. For a head
26:19
banger, you needed height. Huh. So just before I entered the library
26:23
where you'd had Button under a gun before my arrival, you've moved a chair
26:29
so you had height, and so when I walked in, I went out.
26:33
Well, I suppose one should really humor him, Doctor Webber. And
26:37
then what did I do, mister Templer? You removed both the paintings and
26:38
mister Button. You've probably killed mister Button somewhere along the line. Of course,
26:42
you can prove all this. You can tell me or the police.
26:45
Shall we say exactly where mister Button's body lies, where the paintings are?
26:51
Unfortunately? No, then, just as unfortunately, mister Templer, you have
26:55
no case without the paintings found in my possession, without mister Button. By
27:00
an interruption, pree, we're visits of George. Please, we'll not take
27:03
a moment, miss author. You are to make a mistake. Oh please,
27:07
George, you're having a conference. Would you mind come all the way
27:10
downtown to wash and polish car? You say, Carl, no dirty,
27:14
not to need bath, not need polish George, will you please go now?
27:17
And this is mistaken. Just see car in parking rod some other time,
27:21
George, car, very dirty car, need to wash, polish spine?
27:25
I go do so, yes, No, of course you go do
27:26
so, George. And while you're at it, take a look in the
27:29
trunk compartment. No trunk compartment, what finding trunk compartment with a temper employer?
27:33
George employing trunk. Oh no, I didn't plan to kill him.
27:38
I didn't I look in the trunk compartment. Never mind, George, go
27:42
call the police. Oh yes, mister Temper, are you called? And
27:45
George, Sir. If mister Murdo should ever need an assistant, I'll be
27:51
very happy to give you a reference. You have been listening to another transcribed
28:07

29:49
mister and Missus Blandings on NBC. This is Andrew J. Graham, author
30:03
of the web surface series Oh and a Mana's Wife. You're listening to the
30:07
great detectives of old time radio. Welcome back. Interesting to hear Larry Dopkin
30:19
on The Saint in a role other than Louis. Hopefully we'll hear them back
30:23
in that role before we finish up with the Saint. And we do turn
30:29
to listener comments and feedback, and I did receive this regarding the war on
30:36
iTunes. My ConA writes, I really appreciate the variety of programs in viewpoints
30:41
you included. My father was a World War Two veteran and my mother worked
30:45
in a factory during the war. I feel like I know a little more
30:49
about my parents and others that live through the war. They really are the
30:55
greatest generation. I've recommended this podcast to my children. You've created a great
31:00
resource for people to enjoy for years to come. Well, thanks so much,
31:06
And I don't mention the war a whole lot. We finished recording that
31:11
a little more than a year ago, but it was a quite an effort,
31:17
a two hundred and seventy six episode look at old time radio through World
31:22
War Two. And I created that really as a service, very intentionally,
31:30
without any sort of products or ads being mentioned, just to really focus on
31:37
the World War two generation and how they fought in to provide a real wide
31:42
range of programs music and comedy and drama and news and propaganda pieces. And
31:51
if you're interested in the war period, I would encourage you to check it
31:55
out. It is available at the War dot Great Detectives dot net. All
32:00
right, Well, that will do it for today. We will be back
32:04
tomorrow with the adventures of Ellery Queen, and next Monday, join us back
32:08
here for another episode of The Saint. In the meantime. Sender comments to
