We do these twice a year, and in the early parts of the show
1:03
we were able to do actual advertising, but it's been a long time since
1:07
we've been able to have and maintain an advertiser, and so to help defray
1:15
cost of the show as well as to hopefully move us into a position where
1:21
be able to focus more on less things we're passionate about, including old time
1:26
radio, be able to give more things to efforts like the show, we
1:32
begin listeners Support campaigns, and people have just been so wonderfully supportive over the
1:37
years, and always like doing them just because of the support, but also

4:15
that, sad and sorry for the lengthy introduction. We'll get into today's show
4:19
after letting you know to go to support NOTT Great Detectors dot Net to support
4:24
this year's listener support campaign. Now it's time for the Adventure of the Silent
4:29
Tongue The Adventures of Frank Race, starting Paul Dubove with Tony Barrett as Mark
4:35
Donovan. The war changed many things, the days of the earth and the
4:48
people on it. Before the war, Frank Race worked as an attorney,
4:53
but he traded his law books by the cloak and tagger of the Osn.
4:57
When it was over, his former life was over too. Adventure had become
5:00
his business. The adventures are Frank Race and now we joined Frank Race Fall,
5:23
The Adventure of a Silent tun There's a single row of cells in every
5:31
state penitentiary where there is never any laughter. In these cells, the lights
5:35
burned with a feverish brightness day and night, because there is no sleep,
5:41
no rest this side of the big sleep murderers Row. This is the death
5:46
house. The grimness of the place is hard to describe. It even gave
5:49
Mark Donovan the creeps as we walked along behind the silent guard. No Race,
5:57
a guy must be nuts the wine up in his place. They hold
6:00
a wake for you before you're even dead. I guess a man must be
6:02
pretty segmentally before he can commit murder, even if he is legally saying tell
6:06
me something. How come they're letting you see this, Monty Quinn. Are
6:11
they going to fry him tomorrow night? Yes, I'm in the nature of
6:14
a last request. Apparently Quinn has no family or no friends who would risk
6:17
a visit. No, he still has a two million bucks man. I'm
6:20
agnostic that a lot of good little do him though he's kept it well hidden,
6:26
though at least haven't found a trace. Neither's the insurance company. But
6:30
yeah, send you to pump the guy before he goes. No, Marcus,
6:34
Marty Quinn sent for me himself. He knows I've been on the case.
6:40
It's trying a pretty penny. If he tells you where to loud it.
6:43
No, if he was going to talk, you to talk before this,
6:46
I'm afraid he has something else on his mind. There we are.
6:51
Your friend will have to wait out here, mister Race. Grab a seat
6:55
on the benchmark. Yeah, I will have to first you, mister Race.
6:59
Person regulation certainly I'm not armed, all right, Come on, here's
7:12
a salmister Race. The warden said you can have three minutes. You're not
7:15
to touch the prisoner and nothing is to pass between it. I understand,
7:24
Race. Excuse the looks of the pace. I get more waste money decorating
7:28
on such a short lease. Marty Quinn, he didn't look like a murderer.
7:32
He looked like an egotistical ham actor unless you knew about his record with
7:35
a submachine gun. Even now, there was a touch of cockiness about him,
7:40
as though he had an unseen trigger within reach. It was a defiance
7:44
that lingered in spite of a split pants leg and a shaven head, ready
7:46
for the brine soaked sponge that would carry the high voltage into his brain.
7:50
You look uncomfortable, race sit on. Time is short, Marty, bet
7:55
I get to the point. You want to tell me where the money is?
7:58
I told you once before, I don't know anything about any money.
8:01
I hope you didn't call me here to tell me that you didn't shoot the
8:03
armored car guards. It's a little late for that. No, I killed
8:07
them, all right. I'm not expecting to get off. I ask you
8:11
to come up because I like it. I think you're a guy I can
8:16
trust, can I That depends on what you want. If it's a legitimate
8:20
request, the answer is yes, all right, Marty Quinn ain't my real
8:26
name. I'll begin there. This might surprise you. I used to be
8:31
on the square at the business once grocery store and cold springs on the hud
8:35
go ahead, got a mother and two daughters still living. Girls are grown
8:41
up now. They ain't seen me or heard from me since they were kids.
8:45
They don't know nothing about them. Fortunately for them, I'm glad you
8:48
said that because I want to keep it that way. They're innocent. They
8:52
don't have to be hurt, do they, I hope not? Well.
8:54
Since they've grown up, they try to find out about their old man hired
8:58
to take these things like that. I guess it's natural, but I wanted
9:03
to stop before somebody turns up. The few catch and you can stop it
9:07
for me if you will, before they get hurt. Oh. I got
9:11
a safety deposit box at the Hawthorne Fidelity Trust. Nah, let your eyes
9:16
light up. There's no dough in it. Pardonly for hoping. I want
9:20
my kids to think I'm dead race I will be so that may be alive,
9:26
but I want them to think that I died in South America or someplace
9:28
on an engineering job. Say, can you understand that I can almost synthesize.
9:35
Maybe you'd think a guy like me couldn't love nobody, but I did
9:39
my old lady and the kid. There's something in that box that will convince
9:43
the old lady. I sent you well believe the story. What is it
9:46
you want me to take to them? Just a pair of Babyshe's race.
9:52
I had him covered with bronze. Both of the girls wore him before they
9:54
could walk. Is the only thing I took to remember that. Well,
10:00
that's all that's in the safety deposit box. Yeah, somebody else got that
10:03
hold up though, I told you if I had it, woldn't I want
10:07
my kids to get it? Not that they'd touch in it at kind of
10:09
money they were raised? Right? How do I get into the box?
10:13
And where do I take the shoes? I sign a release that'll get you
10:16
The box open for you. The warden is holding it the key. My
10:20
real name was Marty Parsons. My old lady is Ella Parsons, and the
10:24
girls are ruth and caroling. They're still in course planes. This is the
10:30
last favor I'm ever gonna get to ask anybody race, the last and the
10:33
big Will you do it? Yes, Yes, Morty, I'll do it.
10:50
The Hawthorn Fidelity Trust Company turned out to be a conservative and reputable bank,
10:54
the kind Marty Quinn or Parsons usually entered the hard way, accompanied by
10:58
the ringing of gongs and the ring of guns. It was a busy bank
11:01
on a busy intersection, and I instructed Mark Donovan to keep driving around the
11:05
block until I came up. A lovely thing who could have been in any
11:09
floor show on Broadway accompanied me to the vault, and I took possession of
11:11
the bronze baby shoes smothered an impulse asked the clerk if she had a telephone
11:16
and lived with her mother. Had made my way back into the street looking
11:22
for a lift. Mister, well, that's very kind of you, but
11:26
I have a friend in a car circling the block, and I think you'd
11:28
enjoy riding with me. It seemed to be my day for beautiful girls,
11:33
and I was pondering my unexpected good fortune when I suddenly became aware that the
11:37
offer of a ride was not an offer but a command, a command backed
11:41
by a pistol. The girl was holding in her purse the green sedan there,
11:45
get in you frighten me, I might be arrested for hitchhiking. If
11:48
you don't move, you may pick up a ride to the Morgue. If
11:54
this baby was fooling, it didn't show her deep brown eyes. There was
11:56
something smoky about them. Like fires, small ring under autumn leaves. She
12:01
prodded me with the gun and I climbed into the back of the sedan.
12:03
Behind the wheel sat an old lady in a bonnet. She looked like Whistler's
12:07
mother. There was another young girl in the car, too, and she
12:11
looked like the one who made Whistler whistle. Since we're making a tour of
12:16
the city together, permit me to introduce myself. I'm Frank Race. You
12:20
know who we are? Yes, I take it that you're Marty Parson's eager
12:24
relatives. Which one are you? I'm Caroline and you must be Ruth.
12:26
I'm delighted. You won't be delighted for long. Isn't anybody going to introduce
12:31
me to Grandma? You have champing. It belongs to these girls, mister
12:37
Race, handed over, not just yet. I promised to make delivery in
12:41
Cold Springs, and I always try to keep my promises. We want those
12:45
baby shoes, and we want them now. Never mind, Ruth, I
12:48
can handle this. We're giving you a fair chance, mister Race. If
12:52
you want to get out of this car and walk away, just give me
12:54
the shoes. If you don't, I'm perfectly Kate full of taking them.
13:01
You won't like that, Oh, but you're ruining my act. I have
13:03
a story to tell, a great dramatic proponents that goes with the delivery of
13:07
these shoes. There's been enough talk, Carolyn, Granny's right, get'em.
13:11
You heard the consensus. Race smoky look came into her eyes again.
13:16
I dug the shoes out of my pocket, and a girl named Ruth leaned
13:18
over from the bront seat and grabbed them. The shoes caught Carolyn's glance for
13:20
a moment, and I grabbed at the handbag and the gun. It was
13:24
a foolish play. I had Carolyn tied up effectively. The grandma didn't get
13:26
rattle at the wheel as I had planned, And from the corner of my
13:28
eye, I saw Ruth, with a smile on a pretty face, swing
13:31
the hard brown shoes at the side of my head. All right, Carolyn,
13:35
open the door and shove them out in the street doors. Return the
13:37
corner. You may be able to jump him under the tralee. Cars.
13:48
I came out of a pink and green world all my own and returned to
13:52
Earth with a severe headache. Whoever coined the line about the patter of baby
13:56
feet never got that patter across the side of his skull from a grown up
13:58
baby with brown shoes. My curbsidees Yester tied up. Traffic and horns were
14:03
blowing, but they couldn't drown out the angelic voice of Mark Dobbin. Come
14:07
on, come on, race, get with it, come too, Come
14:09
on, come on with Marcus. What's that on the side of my head?
14:13
It looks like a built in golf bol a red one. Where were
14:18
you when I came out of the bank? Where was I? Says?
14:20
I was waiting for the light, so like a toy the corner. But
14:22
you come out and get the gladd item, some dame, and right under
14:26
me very eyes, you'll leave me flat piling a car with her. It
14:28
all comes back to me now. She introduced me to a grandmother. Lucky.
14:33
I followed you when you drove away, But I won, did it?
14:37
Dame? Slugging trying to neck with her? Right in the same car
14:41
with a grandmother. Marcus, that isn't quite why I got slugged. We
14:43
weren't necking. Oh, don't kill me that I was right behind you and
14:48
sat through a rear window. All of a sudden you reached out. You
14:50
put your arms around the dame. Please give me credit for a little more
14:54
subtly, Mark, it so happened the lady had a gun pointed in my
14:58
midrif. Oh please, A midrip is something that they no longer put in
15:01
the middle of ladies baidens. Oh look, you better get up and let
15:05
the city go about it's business. Come on, come on to the still
15:09
a little grog. Let it drive me down the police headquarters. Yeah,
15:11
I'll bet you've been a pip of a story to tell him, Yes,
15:16
and a pip of a story to tell the insurance company. I'm afraid I
15:18
just let two million dollars slip through my fingers. On the way to police
15:28
headquarters, I briefed Mark on the story Marty Parsons had told me in the
15:31
death House. The actions of Carolyn and Ruth and Grandma had taken it out
15:35
of the confidential stage. I brought him up to date on all that had
15:39
transpired up to the point I had blacked out, Oh, brother, really,
15:43
fetch your line, didn't He? Yes? But he also cleared up
15:46
a point. He was lying about somebody else getting away with the money.
15:50
He got it all right, And now that Dame's had been Midsum, I'm
15:54
afraid that's it. Yeah, but Race, a pair of baby shoes.
16:00
You couldn't stuff two million bucks in them unless it was a million dollar bills
16:04
and right, no such thing or is it only one I ever saw?
16:10
I had a picture of Mickey Moss in the middle of No, the money
16:11
couldn't have been in the shoes. As a matter of fact, I felt
16:15
inside of them they were empty. But they tie in some places. I
16:18
wish I knew where. Maybe the cops can help it that well, here
16:22
we are. Inspector Liebus, one of the finest cops in the country,
16:32
was my favorite contact at police headquarters. Mark and I went up to his
16:36
office and waited while he chewed his cigar nervously and toward methodical orders into the
16:40
telephone. Make sure they set up road blocks and all highways leading into town.
16:42
But check the cars going out too. Get all the available men back
16:45
on duty right away. I want to double to watch and all rail terminals
16:49
and bus stations and triplett in the airline. It's summers and drake over here
16:52
right away with the car. I went them with me. Hello, Race
16:56
Donovan, Hi, how are you you seem pretty busy, plenty busy.
17:00
There was both a favorite race and get out of here, so I can
17:03
make believe I didn't see it. You should be glad to see me.
17:06
I think I have a lead for you that may turn up the money.
17:07
Marty quinn Or Parsons picked up on that armored cart stick up. You'd better
17:11
have a lead, Frank, and had better be a good one. It's
17:14
fresh, very fresh. I saw Marty in the death house last night.
17:18
I know you did. That's why I want you to get out of here
17:19
before I'm fourth to pick up. The order should come through from the commissioner
17:23
any minute. Pick me up, ed why because you were the last man
17:26
from outside the prison to see Marty Race. You were admitted to death row
17:30
last night, just an hour ago, a few hours before the time scheduled
17:34
for his execution. Marty turned up in the cell block with a machine gun
17:37
in his hand. He's on the loose. Race. He killed four guards
17:41
and escape. We'll return to the adventures of Frank Race in just about one
17:55
minute. Now, back to the adventures are Frank Wright. Marty Quinns's escape
18:14
had touched off a king sized man hunt with a good chance that I might
18:17
wind up in the middle. Just as he finished dishing out the information,
18:21
Inspector Leevis had another phone call, and Mark and I took the ring as
18:22
a signal to get lost while there was still time, made our way to
18:26
the car and headed cross town. Oh brother, I thought that cop was
18:32
going to toss you in a clint with fast. It's just give me a
18:33
break because we're friends. He knows I had no part of that escape.
18:37
Somebody must have been awful, careless to let that Marty character get his mits
18:41
on a chatter box. It wasn't an accident. That break was planned,
18:44
well planned and perfectly time. Yes, hardy and all, because that's why
18:48
he sent me in after the shoes. That box was checked by the police
18:52
when Marty was taken in, and they passed up the shoes because they seemed
18:53
irrelevant personal. He wanted them, though, and he knew that I could
18:57
go in and take them out without question. If he try to get to
19:00
them after the break, he'd be nailed. It makes sense, oh Race,
19:06
what take a look in a mirror. I think that heap behind us
19:10
has been there since we left place. Uh huh, I guess leave us
19:15
put a tail on us, just to make sure he can pick me up
19:17
if they forced him to do it. I don't think so. I ain't
19:19
the kind of car cops us. Let me try shaking, all right,
19:22
Take the next street through the factory district. Yeah right, yeah, it
19:30
does. It would take all right there he comes, Slow down and see
19:33
if he goes back. Yeah, I'll screwed up that ramp between those trucks.
19:38
It's coming by the ram quick, Mark checks leave be market. Yes,
19:48
we butt it ducks with this factor before it comes back. Right.
19:49
Part he's on the lews and I'm the only one who can identify as women.
19:52
From now on, Mark, we'll be trying to catch them, and
19:55
he'll be trying to kill us. When a cold blooded murderer is after your
20:06
life, the safest place to be is in police custody. But when you're
20:10
on an assignment with two million dollars to recover, you have to play clay
20:15
pigeon. I sent Mark into the underworld to see what he could pick up
20:18
via the grape vine. Then I went home to my apartment to wait.
20:22
I didn't wait long. May I come in, mister ros It was Ruth
20:32
Parsons was standing there in the dim light of the hallway, very dick collete
20:36
and taffada her uti took your breath away. I had to keep reminding myself
20:40
that with this baby, it mightn't be a temporary condition. She might take
20:44
your breath away for good. I could use a drink. I'll pour duchess
20:51
your apartments in excellent taste. Race I might have known is your drink,
20:56
not that it's what you're really after. I don't blame you for dating them,
21:02
but you're wrong. What happened before was a mistake. Nevertheless, you
21:06
made an impression on my head, not on your heart. She lifted her
21:11
head as she said it, with a look in her eyes. Could have
21:15
grown palm trees in the living room. She dripped it in my arms,
21:18
and everything took time out. Now that didn't make you believe them. Maybe
21:27
these were the bronze shoes. I told you they'd been a mistake. I
21:33
came to give them back to you. Why does the man who sent you
21:36
after them isn't really my father? He was lying? So are you?
21:40
Baby? You expected to find something on these shoes, but you didn't.
21:44
What is it? There's no tongue in the right shoe. Race. What
21:47
happened to it? He was missing from the shoes when I picked them up.
21:49
You've got it, you'd better say so unless you want to lose your
21:53
best friend. What do you mean, Caroline and Granny have, mister Donovan,
21:57
Unless I get the tongue, that's you, he's gonna have an accident.
22:02
If he does, you'll have one too, Ducky. I'll let you
22:07
go after you leave me to Mark Donovan. The hideout was an old barge
22:17
tied to the end of a deserted war I preceded Ruth Parsons down to the
22:21
ladder so she couldn't make a break on the deck and harold our approach.
22:23
It turned out to be another bad guess on my part. As she came
22:26
down the ladder, I reached up for her, but she lashed out with
22:29
her foot and caught me between the eyes. All right, Racey, agint
22:37
your ribs. Walk in into cabin and don't make a sad. I walked,
22:41
and I didn't see his face until we were under the glow of a
22:44
shaded gasoline lamp of the cabin, and the face was all too familiar.
22:47
The thick lips, the red races scar that ran from one ear down under
22:49
the chin, a visage I had seen often over a period of years on
22:52
reward posters. A man wanted dead or alive. Bernie Dunna Tello only two
22:56
notches away from the dubious distinction of being public Enemy number one. You've got
23:00
the look of a guy who thinks he's going to collect some reward money.
23:03
You're gonna be disappointed. You're holding a friend of mine. Where is he?
23:07
You'll go bye bye to get him a little while. Don't be impatient.
23:10
You wouldn't tell me where the tongue was, Granny, don't worry about
23:11
that. Marty had I choked it out him while you were gone. Jerdy
23:15
double Crosser was here in the barge all the time, and he tried to
23:18
get away with you. You should have killed him. What do you think
23:21
I did? Baby? Now, all I gotta do is get rid of
23:22
this guy and his friend, and we can cut a melon and get out
23:25
of the country. What about Granny and Carolyn, that's up to you.
23:27
You want to split your half three ways. You want to come with me
23:30
and pull the works, I'll go with you. You'll make a charming sister
23:33
and an even more charming granddaughter, Ruthy, you really velvet that family story
23:38
Marty gave you didn't never mind that he still got one fall coming into the
23:42
river, go on, Race and pushed me through the door into the main
23:48
cabinet. Carolyn and Granny were sitting there, a single candle on a box
23:51
between them. Marty Quinn was stretched out on the floor, his neck broken.
23:55
Mark was curled up in a corner, unconscious. About time you got
23:57
back with him. We'd better be getting out of here. I'll get things
24:00
ready in the car. Never mind, Carolin's there. Where are you too?
24:03
Granny? What's going on here? That should be obvious. You better
24:07
go for that gun, Carolyn, if you still have it, Get the
24:11
candle out, get a light. Carolyn was hit my foller in the dark.
24:18
After a screaming, got the gun. I moved away from the corner.
24:19
Mark was him to draw their fire. I've got a gun too,
24:22
Bernie. Oh, come the door. Demas leaves. This is Frank Race.
24:56
You'd better come in. Frank. I got that order to pick you
24:59
up. It may not be necessary, ed, I think I can clear
25:00
the case. I need a little information, like what was Bernie done a
25:04
tello? Ever arrested for rum running in the old prohibition days. Don Tello
25:10
Yad was his first rap. Have you seen him? I'm going to dump
25:12
him right into your lap if your next dancer hits. It's about Marty Quinn.
25:17
Was he ever connected with a counterfeiting ring? But we could never make
25:19
a stake. That's all I wanted to know. Quinn is dead. But
25:23
I think we can pick up done a Tello and the money tonight. Will
25:26
you play ball with me? Ed? You've never followed me up ed race,
25:30
I'll play good. Order a speed boat and I'll meet you at the
25:33
police dock as Hutchy yours better payoff raise, I think it will. Look
25:48
what makes you think that those made calls sprung Sianna huts mighty made me think
25:52
so he lied to me when I saw him in prison. He was an
25:55
egomaniac, like most killers. He thinks people who work on the right side
25:59
of the laws stup. I don't get it. Part of his warped psychology
26:03
was to throw in a clue with the lies, just to give him a
26:06
bigger kick out of getting away with the money. Mentioning cold Springs was the
26:10
clue, and that sounds like a long shot to me, Frank, I
26:12
think so. If Quinn was a counterfeiter at one time, he'd no engraving,
26:17
wouldn't he. Yeah, that's what was on the baby's shoe tongue,
26:19
an engraved map on the bronze showing where he buried the two millions that could
26:23
be. And Bernie down at Tello is an old rum runner, figurestone and
26:26
operate a speedboat. That's why he didn't catch anything in your dragonet. After
26:30
the armored car heist, you overlook private boats on the river. I gotta
26:34
hand it to you. Raise you'll grow up with answers. But I still
26:38
think Cold Springs is a long shot. Hudson is a big river just the
26:42
same. I'm gambling on the psychology of a warped mine. When we get
26:47
opposite the town on the river, cut the motor and drifted downstream along the
26:49
bank well to a m race. And this is about the tenth time we've
27:06
drifted down river. They've got a show, sooner or later. It all
27:08
right, I'll start her up and we'll go up a mile or so again,
27:12
make another drift. Hey, what an that play? Funny? Here's
27:18
another lunch. Yes, running without lights just as we are, we'd see
27:22
it. That isn't coming in to a m ed Oh it isn't. Hey,
27:26
there it is any morn might's see what a quarter miles down just offshore,
27:30
he's turning in. Yeah, there's a cove down there. We've passed
27:32
it before. I'll start up and we'll grab him. Not yet. I
27:34
want them to lead us to that money. If we get them first,
27:37
you'll ditch that bronze tongue and we'll never find it without excavating half the river
27:41
bank. Someplace to put dough in a river bank. They'll just keep drifting
27:45
at the time we get near that cove. Bernie done teller should be working
27:48
with a pick and shovel. Is good. The high up here, we're
28:04
about fifty yards above the cold. You can fan out as we crawled with
28:08
a brush. You both get guns, yes, yes, let's go hold
28:18
it a minute. Brenny's digging in all right by night. The light sound,
28:30
that's it, he's got it. Let's rush him. Go all right,
28:32
Burnie up with your hands. Stop the light, remy, you can't
28:34
toss my light drop that gun. Don't you cast you a woman? Oh
28:42
but you may play pigeons out of Carolyn and Granny. That's a capital of
28:47
fence. Baby, it was dark. You can't be sure. Help me
28:48
and I'll do anything you say. I'm sorry, baby, but you got
28:52
a blind date with the Power and Light Company. Yes, sir, there's
28:56
a chair all reserved. Here's a dough all right, Race good, I'll
29:07
turn it over to the insurance company. Oh baby, baby, look at
29:11
that cabbage. He look when you guys don't meet one favor before you lock
29:17
it up, that one lock just to let me spread it out on a
29:21
beach and once, just once, I want to run through a barefoot I'm
29:26
got I can run through too million bucks faster than anybody in a ware.

The Adventures of Frank Race, starring Paul Dubove with Tony Barron as Mark Donovan,
30:07
comes to you from Hollywood. Others heard in tonight's cast were Eve McVeigh,
30:12
Joy Terry, Michael Ann Barrett, Frank Gerstell, and Tom Charlsworth.
30:17
This series is written and directed by Buckley Angel and Joel Murcutt. The music
30:22
is composed and played by Ivan Ditmar. Be sure to be with us again
30:26
this time next week for another dramatic chapter in the Adventures of Frank Race Art
30:30
Gilmore speaking, this is a Brucel's production. Welcome back. Well, this
31:11
is one of the more thrilling adventures of Frank Race we have seen in quite
31:15
a while. A very well told story, and I love the title of
31:27
the episode. It's such a clever pun and poor Frank Rice gets roped into
31:32
the whole thing because he's a good guy. So it's always a tough break
31:37
to see your hero taken advantage of that. All right, Well, now
31:41
we turned to lestener comments and feedback, and we begin with an email from
31:47
Aaron who said, you took the words right out of my mouth. A
31:52
couple of weeks ago. You mentioned that Mark Donovan was an especially handy sidekick,
31:56
and I've been thinking the same way. The show should be called The
32:00
Magical Powers of Mark Donovan because he's always magically appeared at just the right time
32:07
to save Frank Race from death. He pulls guns from ladies handbags and walks
32:12
in at just the right time to throw a punch. We all need a
32:15
Mark Donovan to follow us around. I agree, Aaron, and I've put
32:21
in a requisition request for my own personal Mark Donovan. The great character.
32:28
Though no miraculous work tonight. This time Frank Race had to save him.
32:36
A hero having to save the sidekick on this show. That's turnabout all right,
32:40
Well, that will actually do it for today. We'll be back tomorrow
32:45
with Alive in your hands, and join us back here Nick's Monday for another
32:51
great adventure with Frank Race. In the meanwhile, Sandra commons to Box thirteen
