- 2:38all I need to know I learned from Colombo. All right, Well,
- 2:40now it's time for today's episode to let George do it. This one is
- 2:45called chance and probability, personal not as dangers my stock and trade. If
- 2:53the job's too tough, are you to hand it? You've got a job
- 2:54for me, George Valentine right full detail Standard Oil Company of California invites you
- 3:08to let George do it in just a moment, will begin to Night's Adventure
- 3:16of George Valentine. But first, here's more proof that heavy duty RPM motor
- 3:22oil gives extra protection against war and repair. A fleet of taxicabs used to
- 3:27average only thirty five thousand miles between overhauls. Now using heavy duty RPM,
- 3:31these same cabs travel over one hundred thousand miles before overhauling. And that's your
- 3:38proof that heavy duty RPM motor oil cuts engineware and greatly increases the time between
- 3:43overhauls, gives top protection and top economy of operation the kind you want in
- 3:47your car. So next time, be sure you get heavy duty RPM at
- 3:53any independent Chevron gas station or standard station where they say and mean we take
- 3:58better care of your car. And now the night story Chance and Probability,
- 4:11a transcribed adventure of George Valentine. Dear mister Valentine, Chance and Probability a
- 4:24harmless sounding phrase, isn't it, But it's had a horrible influence on my
- 4:28life ever since I first heard it in a beautiful South American town that has
- 4:32pink houses, incredible sunsets of liquid gold, and Caesars, the fanciest gambling
- 4:39can see no outside of Mate Carlo. Oh, yes, it also has
- 4:45a murder that everyone but me is willing to forget. Mister Valentine, I
- 4:49need help from a fellow American, someone I at least know by reputation.
- 4:55So please please use these airplane tickets and come to me sleep, Mary Marston
- 5:01Caricathestor LaRue twenty five avientidos soul pullicon ps. The words chance and probability referred
- 5:09to a gambling system which can't fail to make anyone a million dollars, except
- 5:14that its possession is an invitation to death. Well that was quite an answer,
- 5:16thought Abrooks. Yes, George, And those tickets aren't all that.
- 5:19Mary sent here five golden yellow chips with the name Caesars and a royal crest.
- 5:28No, no, less, the fancier is gambling casino outside of Monte
- 5:30Carlo. Five one hundred dollar chips is a retaining The tickets are on a
- 5:35fight. Leaving tomorrow. I'm going right home in pack but Brooks to go
- 5:40all the way to South America. Just like that. All things we have
- 5:43to do here. Yes, after all, Mary did say the place has
- 5:46incredible sunsets, the golden yellow color of these incredible chips. South America.
- 5:53Here we come, you, dancing teacher, one of the very best,
- 6:03Professor Marcel level at yoursel. That's fine, Miss Mars. You, mademoiselle,
- 6:11Oh, you have the born grace of the natural dancer. Five get
- 6:16along on the dance floor. You get along? Or no, just get
- 6:19along. No, I can't teach you to Marslin. Miss Mars, certainly
- 6:24lovely girl lives here like the others. Like the others, I not only
- 6:29teach the dance. I also own this exceptionally fine establishment. No no,
- 6:33no, no, not a rooming house. Really no, like an old
- 6:36fashioned little family group. So I hear all that. Well, of course,
- 6:44impos I would naturally not teach the sumber that can't go. No,
- 6:47no, no, here, I teach the jitter. I hear your students
- 6:54are waiting for you. So if you just tell us, well with moms,
- 6:57send miss Mars and you have come to talk to Earth about about the
- 7:05system. No, I mean that would be the only reason you would come
- 7:10all of you away from the United States. No, mademoiselle, no secrecy
- 7:16or such a better missie. I will pay you anything you want for that
- 7:25system. I'll keep that in mind. No, I will not let anyone
- 7:30else ever get its first. Please for remember that Tanny wine. I'll repeat
- 7:34it to myself every night, just before I drop off the Shoh boy,
- 7:39they're welcome to policy, or welcome missie. His name was Bill Shields.
- 7:51He lived at the Professors too. He was the only friend that I had
- 7:56here. But what you told us, he must have been a pretty wonderful
- 7:58man. Wanted me to go back home. I didn't know. He left
- 8:01me all his money until the police found his will and somebody killed him at
- 8:05Caesars. Yes, because Bill had the system. Do you really believe there
- 8:11is such a thing? May Well, he won ten thousand dollars in one
- 8:13week, and he could have won more. He said that would be enough
- 8:18for him, enough for me to get well and strong again. How long
- 8:20have you been down here? Almost a year? I was singing with a
- 8:26show that went broke here and then I got sick. But weren't for Bill.
- 8:31I I was Bill doing him polic song. Well, he'd been an
- 8:33engineer on some kind of construction job, but then he got interested in this
- 8:37system, this business of chance and probability. What was that? Well,
- 8:45Bill said, the answer to any system had to be in mathematics, so
- 8:48I always had me getting books on mathematics, chance and probability, and then
- 8:52he succeeded mister Vallington. I can't use any of Bill's money until I find
- 8:58out who killed him. You can understand that, can't you. I'll do
- 9:03what I can. Why did the police say about all this? Well,
- 9:07not that Bill was killed. There was a robbery at Caesar's. They say
- 9:11the robbers killed Bill just sort of accidentally. But it didn't So somebody killed
- 9:18him deliberately to stop him from using his system. Caesar Coppa would be interested
- 9:22in doing that. Oh, somebody might have tried to get the system from
- 9:26Bill and failed. Has Bill ever written this system down? Very No,
- 9:31no, not that I know of. Has he ever explained it to you?
- 9:35I'm afraid I wouldn't be smart enough to understand it anyway, Now you
- 9:39feel and nobody will do anything to find out who killed Bill? Is that?
- 9:41And mister Valentine, you can get all the facts from the police and
- 9:46from Caesar Cappa. They'll be delighted to give you the fact. That's not
- 9:50enough. I must know who killed Bill. Allie Murray, I already saw
- 9:56all the fabulous pink houses of Polies. On this evening, we'll see the
- 10:00sunset and maybe tomorrow we can complete the points of interest and look for the
- 10:05murderer. Say you're Valentine. I assure you we are doing all we can.
- 10:16Yes, so I've heard Lieutenant the customer at anything you can do to
- 10:20help, Senor, we would be honored. Thanks about the Caesar couple,
- 10:26A fine man, fine everyone in Polazon seems to be an exemplary character.
- 10:30That is the way it would appear, Miss Brooks exactly. Still a man
- 10:33is dead and the system nah, that is something I would not venture an
- 10:39opinion on, Senor. You ever, seems to Shield's play at the casino,
- 10:43oh see, and saw him win again and again. Wow, could
- 10:48have been just a run of luck that could happen. But before each player.
- 10:54I even saw mister Shields figure out things on a piece of paper and
- 10:58always burned the paper with this cigarette lighter. That could have been just window
- 11:01dressing him. I beg your pardon over mind now, thought that robbery a
- 11:07very unusual thing to happen in mister Copple's establishment. I'm sure it is our
- 11:13theory that poor mister Shields was merely in the way of the thief, and
- 11:16so we should ever catch the thief a rather death or possibility. Rankly,
- 11:22Yes, you see, our police force is not large, and there are
- 11:24so many different ways to get in and out of police on But naturally,
- 11:30if there is anything we can do to cooperate, thanks, thanks very much.
- 11:33I think I've had all the cooperation I can stand. And just one
- 11:39more thing, Yes, should you come across the late mister Shield's system,
- 11:45the one you're not even sure exists, Lieutenant the Castle, It would be
- 11:48more pleasant and more profitable for you, mister Valentine if you were to get
- 11:54in touch with me. First good day. But you have me wrong,
- 12:05mister Valentine. Mister Sild's death was a very unpleasant shock to me. Yeah,
- 12:11you must have cried all that. I am serious. You must admit
- 12:13your grief does seem hard to believeable to Capital Season, they lay a much
- 12:18nobler name. Well, the frank remains Season. But Shields want a great
- 12:22deal of money here at the casino, and presumably he could win as much
- 12:26more as he wanted. However, that it's just the point, mister Shields
- 12:28was a gentleman. The night he was killed, he came hire to say
- 12:31goodbye. He apologized for winning the ten thousand dollars at my expense. See,
- 12:37it was all in needed. Adventured the guests that I would survive,
- 12:41And as I see, you have quite well. Yes, this is a
- 12:45beautiful place, isn't it. You ought to see it in the evening when
- 12:48the play is in full swing. It is truly worthy of season. I
- 12:52know, but I still don't care what you're driving out about Shields. This
- 12:56isn't on this casino, mister Valentine. I do not have to, but
- 13:00obviously I cannot survive it through the genuine system. Mister Shields is dead.
- 13:05Remember, I repeat, I had nothing to fear from him anymore. But
- 13:11whoever has this system now? Has someone else been very lucky around here lately?
- 13:16No, but I think that somebody will someday. Why. Needless to
- 13:22say, I watched Shields every move during the play. One evening, in
- 13:26the excitement of winning, he dropped one of the pieces of paper on which
- 13:30he was making his calculations. The paper was an unusual shade of yellow.
- 13:35Shield's system was the talk of the town. How many people were trampled in
- 13:39the Russia. As a matter of fact, only one other person noticed it,
- 13:43shift the individual around town called the Nickel. I wasn't fast enough to
- 13:48stop him before he reached the door, the penalty of overweight. I'm sure
- 13:52you had a talk with the impetuous Nickel a later. It didn't private,
- 13:56but he said he couldn't make any sense of the figures on the paper,
- 14:01so he destroyed it. A likely story, precisely, especially since Niko has
- 14:05lately been seen spending more money than he ever had in his life, and
- 14:09more especially since Nko is now nowhere to be found. So you figure Nko
- 14:15sold a precious piece of yellow paper and was told to make himself scarce.
- 14:18Mister Valentine, I will pay you handsomely. I must know if these systems
- 14:24did exists, and who has it. I already have a client sees here,
- 14:28but you're welcome to tag along if you'll help me, of course,
- 14:31and I want to know all the details at the robbery. How do I
- 14:35get him? I will arrange for you to speak to Carl Sebring, my
- 14:37manager, and Freddy Griggs, the cashier's loyal Valentine, I merely think my
- 14:48employe is dramatizing himself again meeting Rod Sebring. There's no such thing as a
- 14:52winning systems. The tune we've heard before. It's usually followed by another tune
- 14:56when you find it. Remember me first. I've been again, But for
- 15:00many years was Brooks Gamblings my whole life, and I never found a system.
- 15:03As you notice, I'm an employee off Caesars the Magnificent who gambles not
- 15:07at all. The models an obvious one, so it is, and amen.
- 15:11But the moment I'd like to know about the robbery. It took place
- 15:15just about here at this roulette wheel. The lights suddenly went out. Aren't
- 15:18the extra ones an emergency lighting system most gambling places have on. The switch
- 15:22to the auxiliary lighting system is near the cashier's cage. When Freddie turned it
- 15:26on, he found it had been tampered with. Oh that was convenient.
- 15:28By the time some other lights went on, the croupier was neatly knocked out,
- 15:31the money was scooped up from the racks, and in the excitement,
- 15:33mister Shields was shot with a gun which must have had a silency. The
- 15:35lights were tampered with, I and inside job wouldn't you say, seving,
- 15:39I would say so, but Caesar shies away from the ideas if it were
- 15:43a reflection on his own honor. The men Caesar has chosen can do no
- 15:48wrong. That sort of thing. Again, I get the idea you're not
- 15:50very fond of mister Kappo. Fond of him better than that. I admire
- 15:52him his colossal ego. He actually has that phony royal crest on every handkerchef
- 15:58he owns, and every cigarette smokes. So obviously they stolen money incident had
- 16:03to be put on a grandiose basis, including the Niko incident. Now,
- 16:06if you'd like to see the cashier, yeah, lead on spring. Yeah,
- 16:15I give ten years of my life for a system like that. Miss
- 16:19always knew somebody would be lucky and work one out, and the man who
- 16:22did wasn't very lucky, it seems, sir. Oh, yes, sir,
- 16:26I see what you mean. Funny, Yes, sir, you can
- 16:29turn the emergency lights on right here near the cage, right right. In
- 16:33fact, I'd tested them myself just before the casino opened, mister kap I
- 16:37was right with me. The old thing is a running mystery. Yeah,
- 16:41But later when the lights went out, didn't you do anything? Governor?
- 16:45I have a game leg see got it in an accident. That's why I
- 16:48took this cashier job, so I wasn't going to run anywhere. Besides,
- 16:52it might have been a trick, Sir. I do just then? Did
- 16:56it leave the cage? You got it? Miss? So I just take
- 17:00the ear in the dark set you with a gun, A gun with a
- 17:03silencing holes. Sir? Why not? Just an idle question? Yes?
- 17:07Did you notice Nico here at the casino on the night mister Shields was murdered?
- 17:12Nico? You know I'm don't you? Just enough not to give him
- 17:15credit. He hasn't been around in days and days. No idea where I
- 17:19can find him, George, I think Lieutenant the Caurst was looking for you.
- 17:23Oh good, maybe he can help us find Nico, the only leader
- 17:26we seem to have all the talent. I was very anxious to find you.
- 17:32Yeah, what's up? It seems we have had another murder committed by
- 17:34the same man who killed mister Shields. The bullets match who was killed,
- 17:38and that is the mystery. A very unimportant man, a man who cannot
- 17:42have any connection with this case at all, A man called Nico in just
- 17:55a moment will return to tonight's adventure of George Valentine. I'm sure that you've
- 18:00heard me say before that any gas can be made to stress one performance feature
- 18:04at the expense of others. But Chevern Supreme gasoline gives you not one,
- 18:10not two, but all eight high performance qualities in correct balance. And it's
- 18:15true, but the one real test for any gasoline is the way it performs
- 18:18in your car. That's why I also say that you'll never know real driving
- 18:22pleasure until you try a tankful of Chevern Supreme. Those eight high performance qualities
- 18:29make sure that Chevern Supreme performs best under all driving conditions. Quick starting,
- 18:34fast warm up, smooth acceleration, area blending at enoch vaporlock prevention, full
- 18:41power, and economy mileage. Those are the qualities you get in every gallon
- 18:45of Chevern Supreme. So if a sluggish, choked up motor azure car hugging
- 18:49the side of the road, letter switch over now to the gas with all
- 18:53eight. Remember, Chevern Supreme can make your driving a pleasure instead of a
- 18:57chore. So next time you gasoline, stop in and say fill her up
- 19:02with Chevern Supreme at any standard station or independent Chevron gas station. What they
- 19:07say and mean, we take better care of your car. Chance and probability
- 19:21the heart of a winning gambling system that brought luck to nobody, not to
- 19:25Bill Shields, the man who invented it, not to the shifty little South
- 19:29American Niko who tried to cash in on it. Both were murdered. Yes,
- 19:33you're up to your neck in this very strange case that brought you thousands
- 19:38of miles to the little town of Polisar. And even if your name is
- 19:41George Valentine, you've been to think that the chances for success are small,
- 19:47and the probability off you're getting a bullet next is great. Still, you
- 19:51stick to your job, which at the moment is again talking to the huge
- 19:55and egotistical owner of the casino. Sees a couple the murder a kid,
- 20:00and he goes so that he would be the only one at the system.
- 20:03Now he'm at his mercy. Cut that out, Caesar. His place isn't
- 20:07worth a center. A man can come in and win as much as he
- 20:08wants anytime, d man I did. That's a little more important than the
- 20:11money you might lose. I built up this casino from nothing. I built
- 20:15it beautiful and strong because I am Caesar Cappo and I am not going to
- 20:19see it destroyed. I am Yeah, you know what, I don't know
- 20:26what I can do? Okay, then listen to me and trying to help.
- 20:30Yes, who was here the nice shields were shot? Was Mary Marston
- 20:33here? The American girl? No professor la room let me think. Yes
- 20:41he was here, but not that he had any money to play with you.
- 20:45But he was here. And the lieutenants, Yeah he was here.
- 20:49But the one more thing, the emergency lights. You were with a cashier
- 20:52when he tested them? That is right, they worked. Have you any
- 20:56idea how they could have been tampered with? I would swear it wouldn't be
- 20:59impossible for anyone to do that without Freddie seeing him. Impossible, impossible,
- 21:03But it was done. Yeah, Murder doesn't have to come here by himself
- 21:07ever, he has can have dozens of people come to you use this system
- 21:11ruined me? He she is a cop boy. The Mercedi's address? What
- 21:15Freddie Griggs the canshier? Where does he live? Carl Seabrigg must know?
- 21:21But why I don't see? I want Freddie's address and an oversized portion of
- 21:26good luck. It's overdue, George. What if Freddie decides to come back
- 21:37here, after all, this is sits home and climbing in through a window,
- 21:40isn't he stop worrying looking for I'm sure good that always helps. I'm
- 21:45hoping it might be money, lots of money. The money stolen from the
- 21:48casino would be Maybe you ought to believe Caesar that it was impossible for anyone
- 21:55among you the lights, and it would have to be Freddie himself. Surely
- 21:57he wouldn't keep the money he earth couldn't very well take it to the bank.
- 22:02Still, it's sort of in the dream department. Igness shirts sucks hand
- 22:10Kerchen. What is it, George? A piece of yellow paper, a
- 22:18very unusual shade of yellow, the system, the piece of paper that Nico
- 22:22sneaked out of the casino on which Bill Shields figured his play. Let me
- 22:26see the square root of C three D over A plus b equals the square
- 22:33root of C three d parenthesis A plus b over parenthesis A plus b times
- 22:41too. A real fascinating. Well, it must be the key to the
- 22:42system. But George, what's it doing. You're at Freddy's If Freddie bought
- 22:48the piece of paper from Nico, then he must have killed him and shields.
- 22:51That's what follows me books. See how come this paper was left where
- 22:53I could be found. Freddie's too smart for that. Yes, well,
- 22:56what are we doing next? Come on, I'll get the lights. At
- 23:00least we can leave through the door. Well, the police can make pretty
- 23:07talk if he knows anything about this piece. No, don't, did you
- 23:17see what? Not? Too dark? I just hearn him move off finally
- 23:19never getting George. Please murder. It's getting more and more desperate, Dolly.
- 23:23Let's leave this case in the castro, and in your life you still
- 23:26have this piece of paper and a client who has a conscience at a heartache.
- 23:30Come on, Brooky, we gotta see people. I just got here
- 23:40to the casino Valentine first one, huh Caesar around seabring. Oh no,
- 23:44he didn't come down necessarily. He's probably home getting his daily manicure and shade.
- 23:48Preddy here should be here any minute, all right. Took a little
- 23:57walk after dinner or dude always likely constitutions it's might to be walking alone.
- 24:03You don't have a lot of people watching what you do. Yes, miss
- 24:04I do like my solitude, just to do a little thinking, meditate under
- 24:10the stars and let the bomb of the evening. Yeah you're a poet,
- 24:14Reddie. Nice to talk to you. So you were here in your apartment
- 24:22all evenings since I am a lazy man, mister Valentine, have you nails
- 24:26manicured with the barber here? No? No, no night. I was
- 24:29here all alone. Even Caesar has his moments of loneliness. But it was
- 24:41terrible, as you will, until your calmed down the room, boy,
- 24:44I was just to call the police or Mary, poor Mary, it makes
- 24:48sense. Were you. I was in the other room, teaching a group
- 24:51or to do the Charleston, and I heard Mary's screen. I went to
- 24:55their room as she was gone, romis this way, isn't who? Yes?
- 24:56Miss you used and in one of his students ran over to the window.
- 25:00There is that big garden you crossed before you get to the street.
- 25:03Yes, yes, yes, we know. Students are men dragging marry A
- 25:07throws the garden and she was struggling with him, and he could not you
- 25:10with them, and whiles the kidney to go. Yes, yes, yes,
- 25:11could desire hold on already put up a fight alrighty and I think I
- 25:18know who she fought with. You get Lieutenant the Castro Angel and meet me
- 25:22at Freddy's place as soon as you can. Honey, no lights. I
- 25:37guess it's the window again. Nah, I was shay down and wrists.
- 25:51Yeah, something is different. I swear what the mary? Wait? Wait
- 26:02on how old mister Valentine? Well, I have to gag her again?
- 26:08Wow? I was right about you. See Bring, please do as a
- 26:12girl. I'll have to kill you now instead of later. Move okay,
- 26:17and makes you a much bigger man than me, so you'll get no argument.
- 26:21Bust. He said. It was going to make me tell him about
- 26:23the system, even if he had to torture me. That's what I'm gonna
- 26:26do. And then you'll have to go. But Valentine joining you Later,
- 26:32the police will say Freddie killed not only Shields and Nico, but the two
- 26:34of you as well. After all, I already planted the paper. You're
- 26:37wasting your time. See Bring, he doesn't know the system. I don't,
- 26:41really, I don't. I must contradict you. Shields was your friend,
- 26:44miss Marston, good enough friend to leave you all his money? You
- 26:47got him all those books. Oh he can fide it in you all right,
- 26:49No, no, he didn't. Can I get through with y'all?
- 26:52Know for sure? It's a matter of curiosity, Valentine, how did you
- 26:56know that I took the girl here? Well, if I'm gonna satisfy your
- 26:59curio, said Eli, and at least be civilized and have a cigarette,
- 27:02togetty, I can offer you a good American brand later start talking. Okay,
- 27:08all the people in this case, only you, whose passion is gambling,
- 27:12had no interest in the system. Insisted that you didn't believe in one.
- 27:18That was strange to say the least. Perhaps I did overplay my hand
- 27:21a little. Help me, Please help me, mister Valentin too, after
- 27:26somebody took those shots at me, I heard him run. Certainly it couldn't
- 27:30have been Caesar, who waddles, or Freddy, who has a bad lay
- 27:33shot up point three. Freddy couldn't have dragged Mary across LaRue's garden, and
- 27:38Caesar, who only wants the system destroyed, would have killed Mary in her
- 27:42room, not take any chance of being seen. So again, it had
- 27:45to be you. Yes, it was me all along, it was made.
- 27:51But why why did you kill Bill? I took advantage of Freddie's rather
- 27:56obvious maneuver with the lights and is stealing the money that kills Shields and confuse
- 27:59the motive. But I'd never get the system from him. With him dead,
- 28:04I could solve a piece of paper I bought from ko Or as the
- 28:07last resort. Get the system from you and I will. Now the paper
- 28:11was a fraud. Wasn't it a problem? Annouge? But that's all.
- 28:15Oh, what a last Shields must have had when he delibered. He let
- 28:18that piece of paper fall to the floor in the casino cigarette. No let
- 28:23me you can have this in the fake Cellivane Burns even put it into the
- 28:30bike. Second chance blush except from me dout in time. Oh okay,
- 28:41alright, okay, it's all right. And I think I hit a lieutenant
- 28:45as polite and vague as ever I bet, and almost too late. With
- 28:55Chris fall Day's already making an appearance. The battery in your car will be
- 28:59getting more and more of a workout as winter approaches, so better take time

- 29:45And the sun sets back home are pretty nice too, and you can paint
- 29:48your house bullers on pink anytime. I wouldn't even try to thank you,
- 29:52mister Valentine. Well, that's the smartest thing I heard anyone say today,
- 29:56George. I wonder if Joe ever did find us. Don't whether he was
- 30:00looking at the cast or said it was just a sensational run of luck.
- 30:03What do you think, Mary, I don't know. We'll never know.
- 30:08Now that's right, Maybe that's best. Caesar the responded, I have a
- 30:18person for you, a token of my gratitude, Catlings, the most beautiful,
- 30:23the most expensive, and made just for you, so personal, plan,
- 30:30so personal. See well the crest, of course, to let you
- 30:37remember that once you helped. Caesar. Goodbye, Bob boy Eyes, Goodbye

- 32:05Don lead broad Got Things that Welcome back. Well, this was a pretty
- 32:25solid episode of Let George Do It. I liked how all of the clues
- 32:30could be easily deduced from things we'd heard on the radio program, particularly as
- 32:36it had to do with people's walks. All the clues had been there,
- 32:42I'd probably overlooked, well I had overlooked a couple and I'm certain you did
- 32:46too. But if that's you know, if that's the case on this particular
- 32:52episode, we only have ourselves to blame with missing out on getting to the
- 32:57solution. All right, Well, that will do it for today. Please
