• 1:37
  Speaker 1: remaining longtime listeners of the show. We'll remember that he

  Speaker 1: bit of a history of taking on hard acts to follow.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: He was decent his homes. We'll see how he does
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: as the same. Probably his biggest claim to fame was
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: as the Falcon. He played that role in nine films,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: succeeding his brother George Sanders, who had played the role
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: for three films. Sanders also had played the Saint and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: was probably the best of the film saints. One other
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: fun fact about Tom Conway. Tim Conway was actually a
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: named Thomas Conway. However, he changed his name to Tim
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: when he came to Hollywood as not to be confused
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: with Tom Conway, even though at that point Tom Conway's
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: career was kind of in the Twilight. At any rate,

  Speaker 11: I don't question your motives. But Anne, I told you

  Speaker 11: expressed it to keep this thing to yourself. It's nothing.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: It's nothing to me. That you're in terrible danger.

• 10:42
  Speaker 11: don't you? Yes, well then I can. I can trust you.
• 10:46
  Speaker 11: There might be something in this Templar. In spite of
• 10:48
  Speaker 11: what I said to Anne, I I don't quite know
• 10:51
  Speaker 11: if this is it, but well, quite some time.
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: Ago I fell in love with the mother of one
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: of the cadets here.
• 10:57
  Speaker 11: He's the cadet captain, head of the class, Stephen Anderson.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: Are you and missus Anderson? Still? No, it didn't last.
• 11:04
  Speaker 11: I don't want to excuse myself, but Vivian's a beautiful
• 11:07
  Speaker 11: woman's yes, too much money, too much leisure, to little maturity.
• 11:12
  Speaker 11: She came here to see Stephen. That's how it started.
• 11:15
  Speaker 11: It didn't last long. But you think Stephen found out, well,
• 11:19
  Speaker 11: he may have. And he's a peculiar kid, brilliant, neurotically
• 11:23
  Speaker 11: attached to his mother in spite of the fact that
• 11:25
  Speaker 11: she almost never finds time for him.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: Father died years ago.
• 11:30
  Speaker 11: The kids that age fourteen think it funny ideas about
• 11:35
  Speaker 11: things sometimes.
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: Yes, I've got to have a talk with him. Would
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: he be capable of actually shooting at you? I don't know.
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: I guess I deserve it. Anyplace else they let him
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: may come from. Well then.
• 11:51
  Speaker 11: No, no, it's nothing, seriously, it's not important.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: Sure, sure, all right? But can go walking on a
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: break ground in my corrots not until this is cleared up?
• 12:04
  Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, sure you'll find Stephen over in the Cadet
• 12:07
  Speaker 11: barracks across the road and sampler because I need to
• 12:11
  Speaker 11: know I.
• 12:12
  Speaker 12: Won't know him. Does that answer your question? I guess
• 12:16
  Speaker 12: that's close enough, Saint.
• 12:18
  Speaker 13: Thanks eddies man, that is well done.
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: At ease. Uh Stephen Anderson here, president, sir? Oh are
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: you Stephen? My name is Simon Temper, Yes, sir. Any
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: place here we can talk in reasonable privacy.
• 12:47
  Speaker 10: The company day room, sir, at the end of the
• 12:50
  Speaker 10: barracks could lead the way after you, sir.
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: In here, sir, fine, and Stephen, would you do me
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: a favor and leave off a few of the sirs? Yes, sir,
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: all right, Stephen.
• 13:09
  Speaker 12: I'm going to ask you a few questions that perhaps
• 13:11
  Speaker 12: I have no business asking, but I hope you will
• 13:14
  Speaker 12: answer about.
• 13:16
  Speaker 10: Bill Carruthers, Lieutenant car he's not in the army, that's
• 13:21
  Speaker 10: his title, Sir.
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: Do you have a grudge against me, Stephen? I will, Sir.
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: You didn't write him a letter recently?
• 13:31
  Speaker 10: I did Major Jackson send you?
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: No? No, you didn't.
• 13:36
  Speaker 10: Then I can answer any questions, sir.
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: I'm going to calling your mother, Stephen dog.
• 13:41
  Speaker 10: I think she'll like you, but you won't.
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: Yes, sir, Stephen, are you happy here? Yes? Sir? Is
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: that answer? I hope that's all Stephen? Yeah, yes, Missus Anderson.
• 14:07
  Speaker 14: You might call me that is all of that some
• 14:09
  Speaker 14: time ago, and then we'll discut it.
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: My name is Simon Templer, Missus.
• 14:15
  Speaker 14: It's too complicated, really make it Vivian and Simon Temple.
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: So you're the same, aren't you?
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: On occasion?
• 14:26
  Speaker 10: Now?
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: Interesting to eat you with the saying.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: Like a Jane, No thanks, I came about Stephen.
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: Nothing's happened to him.
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: Oh no, I just wanted to know if you've seen
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: recent it isn't it ridiculous? Simon?
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: But I should have a son fourteen.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: Years old, astonishing? Have you seen him recently? No?
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: Nobody writes regularly.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Of course, he's very good about it.
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: But you haven't seen him. Did you know that someone
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: came very close to killing Bill Carrothers last night?
• 14:54
  Speaker 14: Bill? Whatever for the poor boy is a horrible dance
• 14:58
  Speaker 14: of the killing the little extreme.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: Oh, you don't think it's Stephen?
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: Because of Bill and I I'm trying to find out.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: Has there been anything in Stephen's letters to indicate what
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: he's thinking?
• 15:11
  Speaker 14: No, no, I don't think so. Lately they've been full
• 15:14
  Speaker 14: of something big. It's going to happen at the school.
• 15:16
  Speaker 14: But he didn't say what, certainly not well we're not there.
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: What was going to happen? Did he give him a
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: date tomorrow?
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: I think there's nothing.
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: You know how children are.
• 15:29
  Speaker 14: They get one thing on their mind, they can't get
• 15:30
  Speaker 14: it out.
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: Some adults are the same way, just occasionally.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: You don't think I'm a very nice person.
• 15:43
  Speaker 13: You know something?
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: I agree with you? All of a sudden, I agree
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: with you, you really do. I don't know.
• 15:51
  Speaker 14: It's been a hypocrite for so long. I don't even
• 15:52
  Speaker 14: know myself if this is a change of heart or
• 15:56
  Speaker 14: just a new approach. So let's not be said, simon,
• 16:01
  Speaker 14: excuse me?
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 16:06
  Speaker 15: Who?
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: Yes, Simon?
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: You're sure?
• 16:12
  Speaker 16: My hearing is so good Simon in spite of my
• 16:14
  Speaker 16: age here, Hello, Simon, how did you know I was here?
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: I knew all about Bill months ago.
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: He's gone where I long ago?
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: He's not Roman, He's not anywhere around the school.
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: Keep looking in. I'll be right there.
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: It's not Stephen, is it, Simon?
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: It was missing. I hope it's not Stephen. But if
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: it is, baby on the.

• 17:02
  Speaker 6: An he chase a Billiard.
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: No, I've been falling everywhere I could think of, but
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: no luck. Why did he have to be so headstrong Simon?
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: Why did anyone else have to know anything but Bill?
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: Why couldn't he stay in his room?
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: And Ballan spoke with Hinston Stephen's letters that something big
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: was about to happen, something mis genious tomorrow.

  Speaker 6: I didn't know what.
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: I don't know. Imagine it steals this way in prison?

• 22:24
  Speaker 12: said it, and there's that feeling of something about to happen.
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: Yes, we're sitting on something, Lieutenant, something so close we
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: can't see it, or so strange we can't believe it.
• 22:37
  Speaker 12: Uh, bridest shots out of all of the dead rifles say,

  Speaker 16: I'm glad you came because I've had the city here
• 23:29
  Speaker 16: all day, taken a good look at myself.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: It's thanks to terrifying him. You haven't seen Stephen iPhone
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: this morning.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: But it would't let me come out. What did you
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: say to your son?
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: Yes, sir, No, sir made it a little difficult to
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: tell what was on his mind. Stephen has been unhappy.
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: I'm responsible.
• 23:48
  Speaker 14: Boy should have a home father. I tacked him off
• 23:51
  Speaker 14: to a school I didn't know anything about, because I
• 23:53
  Speaker 14: was too.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: Busy to care for him. With what the top at all,
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: I couldn't.
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: Even keep my hospital head androg his instructor. Now there's dead,
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: poor Stephen for world Dan. I wanted to see those
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: letters from Stephen who spoke up there Maybe a through there,
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: I thought.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: Another one that couldn't make much sense out of it?
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: What did it say? Oh?
• 24:20
  Speaker 14: A long rambling thing about how the candeted to the
• 24:23
  Speaker 14: Virginia Military Institute left their classes to march off the
• 24:26
  Speaker 14: battle in the Civil War and.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: Turned the tile of battle to the south. Now where
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: does he get these things? Go on?
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: What else to say?
• 24:33
  Speaker 14: It was incoherent, almost all about the corruption of our society,
• 24:37
  Speaker 14: our enemies within, and how the country has been waiting
• 24:40
  Speaker 14: for a strong man to show them the way.
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: Who's been talking to him?
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: I should have known. Last rejected confused boys looking for
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: her father a hero, Simon tells them they follow. It
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: doesn't have to make sense, It just has to be
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: a plan. And his assurance to little work where some school,
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: we'll hope you'll be on time. We've come to be
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: on time.

  Speaker 6: the police. Yes, I'm waiting here for them, Vivian, I
• 25:30

  Speaker 3: No, no, no, I can't talk to you now. I

• 26:30
  Speaker 3: They're magnificent because of me, you understand, because of me.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: I don't think I'm mad. That's what brothers thought.
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: So you have to kill him.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: And he tried to expose our plans to the enemy,
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: and I had to take measures. You don't think I've
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: had somebody to appear with the dream of my life.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: The dream is over, Major, No, no army, you have
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: no troops. He's a boy Army of.

• 26:53
  Speaker 9: that grand could throw.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: Open your eyes, maker, this isn't eighteen sixty one. This
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: is nineteen fifty one six.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: And the times are right for a man on a
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: hospital positive leader came back.
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: This country doesn't need a man on horseback.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: Pol That's what I've been doing for thirty rifles trained
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: on you.
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: Now stand us. Come out here with him, old seasons
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: of the men. Listen to me.
• 27:27
  Speaker 10: I published with him.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: See this company is waiting for you. Don't listen to
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: anybody else.
• 27:32
  Speaker 16: They'll tell your.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Lies about me.
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: Look at him, boys, see him for what he is.
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: No hero, a dangerous fanatic, a man with a sick mind.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Put on your guys, all right, I've been true patient
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: with you. I'm ordering my troops to fire. This is
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: what true's vacillation.
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: They aren't going to fry a major. Take the boys
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: back to the bags.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, we were really good at following them. We wouldn't
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: have shot anybody.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: Really, I don't know what got into the.
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: Wild. The schemes have been believed in by old and
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: wider people. Come a long Major, m h. That's as right,
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: almost later. I guess we'll never really know.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: You have a listening to another transcribed adventure of the
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Saint a robin Hood of modern crime, and now here
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: is our star Tom Canaway.
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention to a
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: very important tones. I say it's important because during that minute,
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: someone somewhere is going to be injured in an automably accident.
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: Unbelievable as it.
• 29:17
  Speaker 12: Seems, American traffic accidents exactly closed more than one cancelty
• 29:20
  Speaker 12: every minute. Last year, thirty two thousand were killed, one
• 29:26
  Speaker 12: million were injured, and in almost every single case it
• 29:31
  Speaker 12: was discovered that one or more violations of the frantic
• 29:34
  Speaker 12: law were involved.
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: That's the fact. I want you to remember the fact
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: that the moment's carelessness, a moment's taunting of the law,
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: might bring trancity to you. So many of us believe
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: that frantic accidents always happened something else. Last years, stem
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: thought that way, and so did today. Tomorrow.
• 29:55
  Speaker 15: Perhaps there would be no disting if only would be
• 29:57
  Speaker 15: realized the frantic accident respect to every one of us.
• 30:02
  Speaker 15: So obey the laws of the road, whether you're a
• 30:06
  Speaker 15: driver of the DestinE, guard against the bang of the steed,
• 30:09
  Speaker 15: drink and chase. Remember that it can't happen to you,
• 30:17
  Speaker 15: but here kay may say good and that life may
• 30:21
  Speaker 15: be your own. This is Tom Conway invited me to
• 30:26
  Speaker 15: join us again.
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: They speak at the same time for another exciting adventure
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: of the same good Night.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: The life script of The Saint was written by Good Power.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Our caste to Life included Michael Barrett as Ann and
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Betty lou Gerson as Vivian.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: The major was played by John Brod.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Herb Ellis played Bill herrvers Edmund McDonald, Lieutenant Thompson, Stephen
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: and Jimmy were Tommy Cook and Bobby Ellis. The Saint,
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: based on characters created by Leslie Talkers, is a James
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: al Saffire production and is directed by Helen Matt.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Tom Conway is soon to be seen in the.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Warner Brothers production of Gold Diggers in Las Vegas. All
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: New Saint fans will be glad to know that the
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Saint comic books are on sale.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: At all news.
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: Dads don't answer Eddie Kings and Joy.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: The very best radio sure.
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: That's very morning, Noon and Night is from this station
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: Morning and Night. And this is NBC, the National Broadcasting Company.
• 32:38
  Speaker 13: MH.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: This is Andrew J.
• 32:45
  Speaker 9: Graham, author of the web surface series Oh and a
• 32:48
  Speaker 9: Man and his Wife. You're listening to the great detectives
• 32:51
  Speaker 9: of old time radio.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. Well, it's important with this new Saint not
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: to compare to Vincent Price and how Price would have
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: done it on its own merits. It was a good
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: performance in many ways. It reminded me of Herbert Marshall
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: in The Man called X. The Major was a bit
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: over the top. I mean, honestly, the guy who was
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: killed kind of was suspicious of the wrong person. Because
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: if I'm working at a military academy and my boss
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: is the major, I'm not going to be suspicious of
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: the kid whose mother had once dated. I'd be much
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: concerned with the instructor with delusions of grandeur. But at
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: any rate, we do turn to some listener comments and feedback.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Brian comments love the Saint with Vincent Price. It will
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: be sad to see this series end Saturday. To hear
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: the last Vincent Price show. I actually watched a few
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: of the TV shows it was British and didn't hold
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: a candle to the radio series. To me that it
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: depends on which series that you've seen. I like the
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Roger Moore series, the black and white one. I haven't
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: seen the color ones yet. The Simon Dunn't series. I've
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: saw one and I'm not interested in seeing more. But
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: thanks for the comment. And definitely we miss Vincent Price,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: and it was such a pleasure to be able to
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: hear his talents and what he was able to bring
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: to the program. Douglas had a comment regarding the title
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Fishes Gotta Eat episode sixteen forty one. I liked the
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: show and the episode was okay, but the title was
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: a bit unfortunate. Definitely understand where you're coming there from there, Douglas,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: and thanks so much for the comment. All right, well
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: that will do it for today. Join us back here
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: tomorrow for the Adventures of Ellery Queen, and we will
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: be back on Monday with another episode of The Saint
