2:42
take a Ganderet's hard work never killed anyone. You can never prove that.
2:46
By Danny Brayden. Danny is the dark haired boy in a small furnished department
2:51
on Chicago's South Side. Danny is what is known in the trade as a
2:55
solitary drinker, and he's just made an amazing discovery. The liquor goes a
3:00
lot further that way. Danny, Danny, what the devil do you want
3:06
them? I don't want to nag you, Darling. Shouldn't be giving a
3:08
down good imitation. I see who that is? Sure, darling? Just
3:15
a minute, I'm coming. Yes, I'm looking for Danny Brayden. What
3:23
do you want with him? I'm an old buddy. Here's from La.
3:25
Just tell him it's Jack Buck. Tell what are you doing here? Hi?
3:30
Danny? Good to see it. What do you want? Buck?
3:31
Tell? Now? Is there any way to talk your little girl here?
3:36
Think you weren't glad to see me? She'd be right. That's gratitude for
3:38
you. And to think the minute I stepped off that bus, I made
3:42
tracks right over here. Shouldn't have bothered. There's no bother talk. How
3:46
are you doing, Danny? It's well you don't look at well you know
3:50
me? Buck? I never believed in being ostentatious news? One hundred grand?
3:54
Are you kidding? Darling? Shut up? Where can we talk the
4:00
matter with this? Two things? One you haven't invited me in? What's
4:02
the other? All right? Both? No problems? All right. I'm
4:05
gonna gona take yourself a walk. No, you're gonna get mixed up in
4:10
something, don't you understanding? I make it a nice long walk like from
4:15
here to Evanston. Well, all right, Danny better call me before you
4:20
come home. I like a girl of the mind. Sit down. Thanks.
4:28
You said something about one hundred grand. Not so fast, Danny boy.
4:33
There are one of two things we got to iron out first, such
4:36
as I gotta be protected. Okay? Then sign right here? What is
4:44
this just a little agreement that we split fifty to fifty on your income for
4:46
the next ten years. You think I'd be stupid enough to sign this?
4:50
Why lose? Well, if I went to work, you wouldn't do a
4:56
thing like that. Don't be so smart. Let's not kid each other.
4:59
Danny. I know you from a way back. You've got no more intention
5:01
of doing an honest day's work than I have. Now, if you want
5:04
to sign that agreement, okay, If you don't, that's all right too.
5:10
Give me a pen. Hey, Daniel, m gret that's that.
5:19
I was fine. Now what's the deal? You remember a little girl you
5:24
were married to named Gloria Mason? That's your idea of a gag? How
5:29
long has it been since she got killed in that fire? What are you
5:31
a coming head? Just you and me for a couple of minutes with him
5:34
six years ago, as I recall it, never did find her body,
5:38
nothing left to find, just some silver bridgework. I bet you can afford
5:43
platinum. Now what are you babbling about? She's alive, Danny, You're
5:47
nuts. She started that fire herself. What why get away from you?
5:54
What kind of crack is that? I tell you? Gloria is right here
5:57
in town. When she calls herself Glinda, Yeah, that isn't all she
6:02
changed. She doesn't have that red hair anymore. And she's married married to
6:10
a fellow named Phil Stacy, Phil the Stacy that owns the Belmont Casino.
6:17
I understand she's nuts about him. You must be out of your mind.
6:20
Well, there is one way to convince yourself. Go up and see.
6:24
And while you're at it, you might ask her for a couple of bucks,
6:27
you know, so you're can to afford a cab back. I'm sure
6:30
she wouldn't want her husband to walk Yes, Well, what do you know
6:51
what? I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my
6:55
own eyes. What's the matter, Gloria, don't you recognize you? One
6:59
and only? It's Danny. If you don't get out of here, you
7:02
scream yes and head Phil Phil. Of course we both know he isn't home.
7:09
I made sure of that. I don't know who you are. I'm
7:12
not Gloria. You couldn't have forgotten or we meant to each other. I
7:15
don't know what you're talking about. Well, maybe I know a way to
7:18
show you. Did that? Bring back fond memories. What do you want,
7:25
Danny? I knew it would ring a bell? What do you want?
7:28
Only what's mine? You know? Ah? Now you're my wife?
7:32
Honey. You don't know how I missed you. I'm sure you found someone
7:36
else to beat up. Oh no, Gloria, Oh I beg your pardon,
7:40
Glinda. There never was anyone like you. Well, what do you
7:45
say? You pack your bags and I'll take you home. Let me go?
7:48
Oh? Come on, sweet? Do you love it once you get
7:51
used to the bugs? What are you after? I told you you?
7:57
I only hope Phil won't be disappointed. You're not going to say a word
8:01
to him. I'll kill you if you do. Well, he's bound to
8:03
find out, after all, he thinks he's married to you. How much
8:07
do you want? Now you think I came here for? How much do
8:11
you want? I never thought of it like that? But if you'd rather
8:16
stick with Phil, I fire be it from me to interfere with your happiness.
8:22
Let's let's make it five grand. That's a nice round figure. Don't
8:28
be a fool. Where would I get it? It doesn't have to be
8:31
cash, honey, I'll take your check. I'm sure you wouldn't stop payment.
8:35
How do I know you won't be back again? Of course I will,
8:39
Glinda, You're my wife. What kind of husband would I be not
8:41
to drop by when I'm in the neighborhood and I intend to be around real
8:46
often. Oh, I'll tell him? Man, how goes the battle?
9:07
Who is this? Jack? Buckchell? Is Danny around? Just a second?
9:11
It's for you, Danny? Who is it? Mister Buck? Tell
9:16
hello? Hi? Danny? Fine? How'd you make out? How'd I
9:20
make out? I understand you were up to see missus Stacy this afternoon.
9:24
Where do you understand that from? Oh? I got ways and means of
9:28
my disposal? How did we do? We didn't do? I don't get
9:33
you, Danny, very simple? Buck, this isn't the right names.
9:35
Well, I ought to know I was married to him. Boy, don't
9:39
try to hop me around. Never entered my mind. Sorry it worked out
9:43
this way, Buck, But maybe we can get together on something else sometimes.
9:48
Give me a call if you get me. Ideas, it's some more
10:01
coffee, Glinda asked if you wanted some more coffee? Oh, no,
10:07
thanks, Phil. What's the trouble, baby, trouble? You haven't said
10:11
two words since we sat down. Well, I got a slight headache?
10:16
You want right? Maybe if you ate something you haven't been hungry for a
10:20
week. You don't stop picking on me. Sorry, honey, it's my
10:26
fault, feeling. I'm just on edge. I'm gonna call Doc Willburn.
10:33
I don't want you to. I tell you I'm perfectly all right. And
10:35
what's bothering? Nothing? Absolutely nothing swhere. Look, Glinda, I promise
10:43
when we got married, i'd never ask any questions. I know that Phil
10:48
and I appreciate it. But if something's worrying you and you want to tell
10:50
Papa, you'll always be ready to listen. Remember that. Hello, Well,
11:13
Doris, it's Danny Brydon. Oh, Hi, Danny, my missus
11:16
there what No, No, she ain't. Oh. I just got in
11:22
to find a note saying she's going over to see you. Well, she
11:24
left you ten minutes ago. I think she had an appointment with John J.
11:26
Malone. Who you know that lawyer? Fella? What does she want
11:31
with Malone? Well? I don't know that. Gee, I shouldn't have
11:35
told you. You won't say nothing. Don't you worry, Dorith, I
11:37
won't breathe it to it. That's the second had just a second. Yeah,
11:58
I'm looking for John J. Malone to try the Prescoat building. Understand
12:01
he's got an office there. His secretary told me he's never in, and
12:05
then she said, if it was real important, I could find him here.
12:09
Because she says a great big blab of MoU uh huh skip it.
12:11
Come on in, missus braydon Thelma brief, sit down. Well, you
12:18
don't have to worry. I won't bite. I left my uppers in my
12:20
other head. What I don't try to figure it out? It's not worth
12:24
it. What's your problem? The problem? There must be an echo in
12:26
here. I'm sorry, mister Maloney's just that I'm nervous. Why why I've
12:31
never done anything like this before. Danny would kill me. If he knew.
12:37
Danny, I'd take it as your husband is on a divorce. No,
12:41
what is it? Well, you see I married Danny three years ago
12:45
after his first wife died in a fire. Well, well, just for
12:50
the sake of argument, suppose she didn't die, Suppose she was still alive.
12:56
When she's still his wife. It doesn't. Oh, don't stop on,
12:58
my Malone. Didn't your mother ever teach it? On knack Lieutennis.
13:03
She also taught me not to be noisy. That's a fun tennant thanks so
13:07
will look Brooks, I happen to be very busy, and you're gonna be
13:09
a lot busier before the day is over. Pay no attention to him,
13:11
Thoma. I'm afraid she's gonna have to. I'm with the police, missus
13:15
Brayden. How did you know her name was brad Oh, you'd be surprised
13:18
what I know about her? She's thirty one, blonde and recently widowed.
13:22
Widow. All right, Sinny, what are you getting at Her husband was
13:24
murdered an hour ago. No, yes, you're lying. You're making this
13:30
all up? Are you no better? Are you accusing her? No?
13:33
No? Oh, I wouldn't worry, Thomas. Didn't they tell you Malone
13:35
was amazing? Why with them on your side, all you can possibly lose
13:39
is your life? Ain't that accompanying thought? You're listening to the amazing miss
13:48
Malone. It's the Silver Jubilee on MBC East and West meet as mister Moto
14:00
will move swiftly against those who would corrupt and destroy freedom loving people everywhere on
14:05
the national front. Martin Kin, Private Eye will find himself involved in plenty
14:09
of action as he becomes involved in whirlwind adventures beginning July. First, mister
14:13
Motto and Martin Kain two invitations to suspense, intrigue and mystery over your favorite
14:20
NVC station. And now back to the amazing mister Malone. There's one nice
14:39
thing you can say for my apartments. It's convenience. Within a space of
14:43
five minutes, I had two visitors and both gifted conversationless. The first was
14:48
thumb of Braden, the second Lieutenant Brooks, and the dialogue was real scintillating.
14:54
Then Brooks got started on a monologue. That's when the party got dull.
14:58
That's my duty to warn you, missus Brad, and that anything you
15:00
say may be used in evidence. Why did you shut up? Can't you
15:03
see she's in a state of shock? Thomm huh? Can you understand me?
15:07
He said I killed Dan. You didn't mean it, didn't I look,
15:11
Sidney, use your head? Where's her motives? Oh? You're just
15:13
talking to pad your part? Where's some motive? Why that husband has used
15:16
to beat her like she was whip creed. That's not true? Are you
15:18
kidding? The neighbors told me cut you around regularly. I didn't care.
15:22
Why were you consulting alone. Well that's a confidential matter. How did you
15:26
know she was here? My friends? You mean, Darius, You're right?
15:31
Listen to me, Thoma, remember that matter we were discussing before he
15:33
walked in. But you know about this girl you knew whose husband thought she
15:37
was dead? The girl I knew, the one who was supposed to be
15:41
burning that fire? What was her name? I can't think. You've got
15:45
to look. Is this a private game? Or can a strange to take
15:48
a hand? That's private? It's Stacy Glinda, Stacy Hill, Stacy's wife.
15:52
I don't know. Check you go along with Brooks? Now you mean
15:56
I can have it. I'll get your hopes up, Lieutenant. She's only
15:58
for a lend. I'll be back for after I look up another prospect.
16:11
I mean, oh well, well if it isn't the amazing mister Malone,
16:15
come on in. Thanks. Hey, he's quite a place, you know.
16:21
I've never been up here like it? Why shouldn't I didn't I furnish
16:25
it? But what are you talking about? I figure with the dough I
16:26
drop at your club, I must have at least bought the drapes. Thanks,
16:32
Drake, What do you got? Scotch that's my boy. Say when
16:36
that's one of these whoop? Yeah, what about you? No, I'll
16:44
sit this one out. Well, like they say, here's the crime.
16:49
Hmmm, all right, malone, what's in your mind? Can't a man
16:53
just drop around for a sociable drink and not if you're other man? Well,
16:56
I was kind of hoping to meet your wife. I have heard a
16:59
lot about it. If you're round, no, unless you'd be back,
17:03
I have no idea. And in that case, suppose we have a little
17:06
talk as a concern Glinda vitally, then I don't want to hear it.
17:08
I don't discuss my wife with strangers. How do you know I'm a stranger?
17:11
Maybe Glenna and I have a big romss brewing. Oh, don't make
17:15
me laugh. You know my reputation. Yeah, you're a sucker for a
17:17
long shot. That's as supposed to me. Take it anyway you like.
17:21
Look, Phil, I want to be on the level with you. I
17:22
represent a thelmb of braid. I told you I wasn't interested. You ought
17:26
to be because your wife's enough alone. I think you better go. You
17:30
don't fail. You're a remarkable guy. There are not many men around wh
17:33
would trust their wives so implicitly, I wouldn't know. Well, I would
17:37
thanks for the drink and tell Glinda I was sorry to miss her. Maybe
17:41
I'll catch her on the next round. Yes, Bill, help you with
17:56
those packages? How do you much better? Good? Would you like a
18:03
drink? I'd love it. You sit down right over here and Papa will
18:06
take care of Did you bring the evening papers? Oh? I forgot?
18:11
It doesn't matter. All the news is bad, which reminds me John J.
18:15
Malone was up to see you this afternoon. Huh. You know lawyer,
18:19
but he's representing film. What did he want? I didn't give him
18:23
a chance to say, if you want your drink? What did he say?
18:27
Phil? I told you I wouldn't listen to him, but I will
18:30
do you. I don't understand. Look, baby, you know our deal.
18:37
I never asked you about anything, but if you're in a jam,
18:40
I want to know about it. Tell you everything's fine, darling, all
18:45
right, Glinda hot to be like you say everything's fine and Malone or no
18:51
Malone, Papa's going to keep it that way. Yeah, come alone,
19:04
that's right. I'm so glad to find you in You don't know the trouble
19:08
I had getting your address. You shouldn't have bothered. Oh, I don't
19:11
mind, all right, let's get it over with. I beg your fore
19:15
look, Junior, this is an old story to me, though generally I
19:17
find him waiting inside. Weren't you send here to warn me off? A
19:19
How in the world did you know that? I'm amazing? Besides that bulge
19:22
in your pocket gave you away? Oh you mean this old thing? Hey,
19:26
isn't that kind of heavy for a little man like you to carry?
19:30
But then that makes you a big man, doesn't he? Definitely? Who
19:33
sentya Glendas Stacy? And why would missus Stacey? You want to do that?
19:36
Because we both know she killed Danny Brayden? Did she? Absolutely?
19:40
She was legally married to Breagnan and he was probably shaking her down, so
19:42
she took the obvious way. See my point? Well, isn't there something
19:45
you're overlooking? You're right, I'd completely forgotten about her husband. Did Phil
19:51
send you? Well? By his own admissions, oh, I wouldn't.
19:55
I was just trying to get a cigarette and so you can smoke mine no
19:57
nicotine, And he was saying, oh yeah, he'll do anything in the
20:04
world for his wife, would he? Well? That's what he claimed,
20:07
and I see No, wait a minute, I'll tell you phutto something else.
20:11
Yes, indeed, Danny must have just recently found out Glenda was living.
20:15
Would you believe? I have no idea what you're talking about? It
20:18
doesn't matter. I was just thinking out loud, your mind, not at
20:21
all the way I see it, Danny must have learned about Glenn in the
20:22
past few weeks, otherwise his whole affair would have been precipitated a long time
20:26
ago. Now, how did Danny find out? May I offer a suggestion?
20:32
Please do? Maybe he saw her on the street. No, No,
20:34
that's too convenient. There has to be another party who's pried the information,
20:37
does it. That's the only way it adds up. Who could have
20:40
tipped off Danny that Glenda was alive? I had no idea. Well thanks
20:45
anyway, friend, you've been real sweet to let me run on like this.
20:48
No matter, kid, can't you take it down there? I know
20:52
I ought to be ashamed of hitting anyone smaller than myself, but you don't
20:55
think a bully like me would hit anyone bigger? See oh in see hey,
21:08
sessman, how do you spell consensus? I'll tell him heck, you're
21:12
nose tool vision. Oh no, make for the healthman. That man's here
21:15
again. Look here, you don't want to talk to here, don't speak
21:18
at that. I'm not kidding, Lieutenant got the whole thing figured out when
21:21
haven't I'm serious? Tell me Braiden didn't kill her husband. I'll naturally,
21:23
it'd say that naturally, And I've just been with the boy who can prove
21:26
it. But why didn't you bring him with you? He was in no
21:27
condition to travel, He had a gun, and I saw no point in
21:30
letting him use it. Coward who sent him? I wouldn't say, but
21:33
I'd be willing to hazard a guess. All right, let's see, try
21:36
and stay with me. Danny Brayden was blackmailing Phil Stacy's wife. Why because
21:41
she was really Danny's wife. She was never legally married to Phil. And
21:44
this couldn't possibly be as confusing as you make it sound. If you think
21:47
it's rough, way to hear the rest. Danny thought she was dead.
21:51
Recently he learned she was alive. Now that information had to come from someone
21:55
who was it, Well, you tell me I'm the Schlamiel, remember,
21:59
Okay, it came from the same guy. Who sent that punk Junior Greater
22:02
around and knocked me off? And who's that Phil Stacy? Are you out
22:04
of your mind? Who'd be in a better position to know all about Glenda's
22:07
background? Well, why would Phill want a blackmail his own wife? That's
22:10
what I keep telling you. She's not his wife, all right? Why
22:11
do you want a blackmail Glenda? He's in the chips. What do you
22:14
suppose that bankroll came from originally? Glenda? Charge? She must be the
22:18
one who's loaded. Phil's past is a mystery. When Glenda left Danny,
22:21
she must have waltzed off with all of Danny's dog This assumes he had money
22:25
at one time. Yeah, and let's see if I understand you, it's
22:29
your theory. Phil was blackmailing Glenda through Danny. Hooray you caught on.
22:33
Well, I'll have to give you credit, Malone. You were right on
22:36
one count. The information that Glenda was alive did come through a third party,
22:40
only it was in Phil Stacy. It came from a fellow named Jack
22:44
buck Tell. But if Phil wasn't the one who supplied the information, you
22:48
were wrong on COUNTO. Yeah, but don't feel too badly. You were
22:52
fifty percent right, and for you, that's a forty nine percent in proof.
22:55
Keep it up counts. So you're doing fine. You are listening to
23:03
the Amazing mister Malone. It's the Silver Jubilee on NBC. They say there's
23:17

Where the Chimes are And now back to the Amazing mister Malone. They
24:26
say you can't keep a good man down, and they're absolutely right. Where
24:30
Lieutenant Brooks thought he had knocked me out with his haymaker that Jack Bucktell supplied
24:33
the information to blackmail Glinda. He was wrong. It was a bad blow,
24:37
all right. But I picked myself right off the floor and stepped into
24:41
another. So Phil needed Glendastow. And why you schmoe boy. Phil's been
24:45
in the Chips since nineteen thirty, all right, So I made a mistake.
24:48
It's nice of you to admit it. I can't help myself. Where's
24:52
this Jack Bucktel? Now you know how to hunt you. That's that?
24:55
And I happen to be prepared with an answer, susman showing mister buckto listen,
25:00
Lieutenant, if you know what's good for it, he'll be silly.
25:03
If I know what's good for me, I never would have been a coup.
25:06
This is John j Ma Malone, so acting pressed. He's a big
25:08
man. Buck Tell, I want to talk to you. I had nothing
25:11
to say, Kenna, could you leave us alone for a couple of minutes?
25:12
So you think it's safety outweighs you about forty pounds. M Yeah,
25:17
On second thought, maybe you better stick around, Alison. Buck Tell.
25:21
How much would Danny give you? What do you mean? How much he
25:22
give me? All the money he blackmail from Glenda and he didn't get a
25:25
dime from her, so he held out on you. No, he did
25:26
just a minute. There was no split. That's because there was nothing too
25:30
split. He told me Glinda wasn't the right girl. But you knew better.
25:33
I knew nothing of the con when you learned Danny double cross, you
25:34
you killed him, You went to his apartment, you shot him in the
25:37
back. You're crazy, all right, Brooks, What are you waiting for?
25:40
Do you hear him confessing? No? Well he practically I didn't hear
25:42
him. You just haven't been reading between the line, and all a readon
25:45
you've done must have strained your ryes. He couldn't have killed Danny. Why
25:48
not because at the time of the murder he was in Detroit. He won.
25:52
You heard me at the fly Susman there this morning to pick him up.
25:56
That doesn't make sense if he didn't kill Danny, and it's barely possible
25:59
your clients did. Oh, thanks for helping us out, Malone. I
26:03
don't know what I'd do without you. Yes, I bet you're Glenda Stacy.
26:21
I beg your pardon. My name's John J. Malone. Didn't your
26:23
husband tell you. I was around earlier today. No, he didn't.
26:26
I was, Unfortunately I missed you. What can I do for you,
26:30
mister Malone? You can invite me in. I think that'd be a mistake.
26:34
Oh hi, Phil, I didn't see you. It's pretty obvious.
26:37
What do you want? Malone? Well, I just dropped. I to
26:40
apologize, apologize? Yeah, can I come in? All right? Thanks?
26:48
This is a lovely place you have here, Glenda. Well, I
26:52
feel I know you so well. After all, I've heard so much about
26:53
you. All right, Malone? What do you want? You're much more
26:56
hospital this afternoon. You invited me to have a drink. Remember, what
26:59
do you want? I guess I have to buy my own. I don't
27:00
know where the money's gonna come from. Gee, get to the point.
27:03
Well, as I started to tell you, I represent a thumb of braidon,
27:08
I think you better leave us alone with Glenda. No, I want
27:11
to hear this. I don't blame you a lover. It's pretty good yarn.
27:14
You see, Thelma was married to a boy named Danny. You don't
27:17
have to go into that. We read it in all the papers, not
27:19
all Phil. You see, Thoma wasn't really married to him. Legally he
27:22
was still Glenda's husband. Why that's a lie. I should have told him,
27:26
lover, Look, Malone, what are you trying to hand me?
27:27
You folks said nothing to worry about what Danny did. There's nothing to prevent
27:30
you from getting remarried. I don't like those kind of jokes. No joke,
27:33
Phil, But I did do you an injustice. Some guns will come
27:37
up to my apartment early this afternoon in like a fool. I jumped to
27:40
two conclusions, one that you sent him. Now looky, just hear me
27:44
on. I also came up with a weird theory that you were behind a
27:47
blackmail plot to shake down Glendon. Are you out of your mind? I
27:49
must have been. Lieutenant Brooks told me you were the one with the money.
27:52
I didn't take his word for it, so I check with your bank.
27:55
He was right. Where do you get I know? I got my
27:57
nerve. They told me something something else. But in the last month,
28:02
Glenda here issued four checks to Danny Braiden. I know about that, sure
28:07
I did, Baby. He's telling the truth, Lover. He saw the
28:08
endorsement. So it's all being the kind of man you are, naturally,
28:11
it took steps and all of them in the direction of Danny Braden's apartment.
28:15
Then later you sent that punk around to scare me off when you thought I
28:18
was gonna hang Danny's murder on Glenda. You're trying to say I killed him.
28:22
I thought I did. Why you know he wants to slug me,
28:26
which I hadn't come in so fast. Go on your too big a hand
28:29
to miss a cue now, fool of public and act like a policeman.
28:49
Hey, George, hop out little service here? Oh what are you complaining
28:52
about my lawn? We're getting this middle of this possible. I don't know
28:56
why I come here every week. Everybody's a coming. Listen the lord,
29:00
what do you want a How did you know philm killed Danny brad Well?
29:07
It all came down to the process of elimination. You had a cast iron
29:11
alibi for Jack Budtell so so that took care of him. And as far
29:17
as Glinda was concerned, it wasn't in character for her to commit murder,
29:19
or she would have done it long ago. Look what she went through to
29:22
get away from Danny. Then when he turned up again she paid him off.
29:26
Well, maybe maybe she got tired of it. Never you know,
29:30
the first touch is always the hardest for a blackmailer. Once the victim kicks
29:33
through, from then on it's clear sailing. So that took care of Glenda
29:37
and left his phil Oh why didn't he let on to Glenda that he knew
29:41
about Danny, Because that's kind of a guy, phil Is he was crazy
29:44
about her. If she thought she was keeping something from him, he wasn't
29:47
gonna let on. Now does that take care of all your questions? Now?
29:51
No, this is all well and good about the process of elimination,
29:53
but there's one party in this deal you want for Look who your client?
29:57
Why couldn't thumb have been filtered because you made the paint? Well, well,
30:02
you were right last week, so now it had to be my turn.
30:03
After all, I'm the one who's amazing. Good Night, Lieutenant.
30:17
Never hear the story of a man who came up with an interesting theory about
30:21
life, then one of his friends shot at full of holes. As a
30:25
lawyer, I can tell you it was murdered. I'll put you in on
30:29
a guard of tales next week, So why don't pick me up in my
30:30
office the same time. I'll be waiting for you. Good Night. George
30:37
Petrie was starred as John J. Malone with Larry Haynes as Lieutenant Brooks.
30:42
Our program is written by Eugene Wang and directed by Richard Lewis. The Amazing
30:47
Mister Malone is based on a famous character created by Craig Rice and produced by
30:52
Bernard L. Schubert. The events and characters in this story were entirely fictional,
30:56
and any resemblance to person's living or dead is entirely cool. That Bred
31:00
Collins speaking, the Amazing Mister Malone has come to you from New York.
31:08
Stay tuned for the man called X next overmost NBC station. Welcome back.
31:15
Well, another solid episode and Larry Haynes does continue to steal the show as
31:22
Lieutenant Brooks. But I thought just on both sides for Brooks and Malone had
31:27
some just incredible dialogue and it does kind of stand out from the rest of
31:33
the characters as almost a relief. All right, Well, we have several
31:37
more weeks of this and then we'll be getting into the Australian version. But
31:42
that will do it for today. Send your comments to Box thirteen at Great
