If you have a comment, email to me Box thirteen at Great Detectives not

0:46
friends on Facebook, Facebook dot com slash Radio Detectives. Well, today's episode
0:53
is brought to you by the financial support of our listeners. Thanks so much
0:56
for your support, and now we're going to bring you I knew Frank Race
1:00
pulled abof took over the role after the first twenty two episodes for the final
1:07
twenty one. This was actually somewhat unusual for de Boff. De bove most
1:12
of his career playing character roles, and I was kind of struck by that
1:19
because I select extras that we upload for the premium site and our app that
1:26
there were so many roles where he was playing just a background character and I
1:33
only was able to found one or two where he was actually playing a lead
1:37
role. So incredible career over radio and then moving into television. This was
1:42
not an uncommon occurrence for the company that produced Frank Race For Syndication. Bruce
1:51
Els did this for broadcaster's program Syndicate, and they also didd a Western series
1:59
called for Tiertown, and halfway into that series they also changed lead to actors,
2:06
moving from Jeff Chandler to Read Hadley. Occasionally they're accused of starting with
2:15
one actor and downgrading to another. Not really the case. I wouldn't say
2:17
Paul Dubov was a down grade, and at the time that Frontiertown was made,
2:24
Jeff Chandler was a relative newcomer, while Read Hadley had been an active
2:30
part of the Hollywood community for several years. Oh with all that said,
2:34
let's go ahead and take a listen to today's Adventure of Frank Race, The
2:38
Adventure of the Green Dubloon The Adventures of Frank Race starring Paul Dubon. The
2:55
War changed many things, the face of the earth and the people on it.
3:00
Before the war, Frank Race worked as an attorney, but he traded
3:04
his law books for the Cloak and Dagger of the Oss and when it was
3:07
over, his former life was over too. Adventure had become his business,
3:14
The Adventures of Frank Race. And now we joined Frank Race. While the
3:34
Adventure of the green double Central American Reign. They go together like bread and
3:45
jam. Under the combination is not nearly so pleasant. Our plane was a
3:47
few minutes from the landing field of Kolang Gate to the eastern entrants of the
3:52
Panama Canal, and Mark Donovan was doing the little dancing zone independent of the
3:57
atmospheric conditions. Oh oh, brother, Next time I come down this part
4:02
of the oil, I'm taking a nice slow cattle board. Even if I
4:05
have to share a room with a wild pull. It is a little bumpy,
4:09
Mark, a little bumpy. The man says, I would like to
4:12
see Jean Autrey stay in his seat. If it wasn't abu a safety thought.
4:15
We're losing allertude. You'll be on the ground in a few minutes.
4:16
Yeah, I hope the weather is nice. It down there and it's up
4:20
here. Why do we have to comp to this place for anything? Do
4:25
zee if we can persuade him embezzlert apart with three hundred thousand dollars in exchange
4:28
for his freedom three hundred gee's yes, So why didn't they just get in
4:32
touch with a CoP's done here and have him Lagiannica. The company figures he
4:36
might give up the money if I can convince him of the error of his
4:40
ways and promise that no charges will be pressed. Who is the guy?
4:45
What makes him so shure he's done? His name is David Bellamy, and
4:49
he's a passenger on the SS Kermit Bompa Peru. According to the timetable,
4:54
the Kermit figures to be imported Colong waiting to go through the lobs to the
4:58
Pacific. You would know anything about this, Bellamy can. Yes. He
5:01
used to be a radio actor and a master of dialects. Then he got
5:04
in trouble and spent some time in prison. While he was there he learned
5:09
a cutting brother. He must aligned plenty to be able to juggle three hundred
5:12
grand Hey, look, if he lined a counting while he was locked up,
5:16
what did they lock him up for? One of whist play? He
5:19
served eight years for manslaughter. Mark killed a man with his bare hands.
5:32
If you're a kid addicted to the making of mudpies, then Klan in the
5:36
rain will appeal to you. But if you're an adult addicted to the simple
5:41
comforts of life, there are better places. However, the weather wasn't the
5:44
only unpleasant feature about Klan. There was an additional unpleasant touch supplied by the
5:48
Office of the Port Authority. I'm sorry, mister Race, but your friend,
5:51
mister Bellamy isn't aboard the Kermit. He was when she made port this
5:56
morning, but he seems to have disappeared. I see, thanks, of
5:59
course, the ship has just started through the larks. He may catch up
6:01
along the way. Passengers do missconnection sometimes it's not unusual. Maybe one on
6:08
a Bendon town. He'll turn up later. We can go on a ship.
6:11
Waiteful, No, he won't be turning up later. Come on,
6:14
Marc Franks. Look, how do you know the guy won't be going back
6:24
to the climate because the passage you booked to Peru's two obvious to throw off.
6:29
He came this far, but now he'll try to make a connection to
6:31
go someplace else, and this time he won't leave a trailer. Yeah,
6:35
but you're not sure that, No, I'm not. But I can make
6:38
sure you go about the crimit. See if he shows up in the next
6:42
couple of hours, if he doesn't lead me back here at the port office.
6:45
Okay, what the where are you going? I'm going to see if
6:48
I can find out how a man would go about disappearing in the Panama.
6:59
I knew that Villa he wasn't going to be easy to find away from the
7:01
ship. He was going to have another name, and since he was an
7:04
expert in dialects, there was every chance he'd adopt a different nationality. I
7:10
thought about it as I made my way through the narrow streets deserted in the
7:13
rainy nights. I seem to be the only man without sheltering color, but
7:17
I wasn't. Do you have a match, senior? Huh oh, I
7:24
didn't see you. Yes, I have a match, but I doubt if
7:27
you can get a light in the rain. Well, I like the rain,
7:30
sen you. I always get what I want in the rain. People
7:33
are so nigh. They never refused the Eggo. That isn't a cigarette in
7:39
your hand, that's a gun. Step into the door. How can I
7:46
refuse? Now? If the Senor has any valuable he wishes to contribute to
7:54
the Eggo's welfare fund, the Eggo will be most glatful. I only have
7:58
a little cash, but the wrist watch is worth a sizeable sons, I'm
8:03
going to be flight. He bent his head slightly to look at the watch
8:07
and his gun hand dipped automatically. We were in tight quarters of the doorway.
8:11
I brought my hands up to under the watch strap. Step quickly to
8:16
the silent at Diego, have a left and slar PLEXI now trumpet SISI you're
8:24
in your CITs. That's better. I will confiscate this weapon for the present.
8:33
This send your dog like a gentleman. Such a gentleman, wouldn't I
8:37
waste his time taking Diego to the police. Besides, the Ego would be
8:43
an excellent guy. Ye, come off at Diego. You know the native.
8:46
You're a Mexican. I can tell by your accent this time. You
8:48
already clever. They didn't like the eggo in Mexico. So the eggo and
8:56
run away. And you got this far before you ran out of breath.
8:58
All right. The police might send Diego back to Mexico, and I can't
9:03
stand a place on account of my family. Fugitives would get into a place
9:09
are usually smart enough to have their eye on an exit. Turning Diego over
9:13
to the Panama authorities might take him off the streets, but it wouldn't bring
9:16
me close to bellmade. I had a hunch and I played it, Senior.
9:22
I would do anything to avoid the police. I'm not turning you in.
9:26
I can't afford it. This senior has a dislike for many junior ones.
9:33
Let's say the police would rather find me than you. I've got to
9:35
get out of here, Diego, and I've got to do without a passport.
9:37
Maybe you know a way from Cologne. Oh awesome, Yo, too
9:41
many American officers. There must be someplace see see thirty miles to the east,
9:48
Senoras Porto Bayo. It was once a hiding place of pirates. In
9:52
Portacobayo is a cafe called the Green Do Loom. The Green Do Loom any
9:58
propriety, sen you're from a mogul couple, Nie, He's very good at
10:03
making people disappears. I picked Mark up at our rendezvous and we headed for
10:16
Portobello, Caribbean hang out of the old time pirates. It was a port
10:20
of intrigue, an international black hole, a Western Hemisphere counterpart of Shanghai,
10:26
a Calcutta Suez and at the bottom of the hole with no other spot claiming
10:30
competition was the Green Dublumining. Oh brother, do you ever want anybody's throat
10:39
slit? Behalf a buck? This is the blaze Some boots back there by
10:43
the wall. Let's take one of them. Ain't you going to ask for
10:46
his cameramortal character. You can die quickly asking questions in a place like this,
10:48
or sit down and let somebody else do the asking. Yeah, yes,
10:52
you're right. If you order anything, mark letter, make an American
10:56
beer. I wouldn't vouch for the beverages in a place like this. Okay,
11:00
you don't have to vouce for the beverages. But question me, brother,
11:03
I will vounce for the down, which is walk and taught us here
11:05
or any place else. Welcome to the green did luon, gentlemen. She
11:13
was Eurasian, an oriental half cast. When they're beautiful, they make other
11:16
women take a tight grasp on the arms of their husbands. This one was
11:20
beautiful, beautiful or not to make a movie? Starts up conscious about her
11:24
faults. I am mono kamamapo. My father is a proprietor. I see
11:31
my voice surprises you. I expected more of an accent. My mother was
11:35
an englishwoman. Your mother and your father are to be congratulated. That is
11:41
a very nice thing for you to say. But now I will say something
11:46
to you that will not sound nice. But if you are intelligent, you
11:52
will be greatful? All right? Baby? What is it? Leave the
11:54
green dablon, Do not look back, and do not come back? Want
12:00
to leave more than the grained, the bloom, the want to leave Panama
12:03
quickly and quietly? Yeah, yeah, fast? There were no more to
12:07
see? Then you have come in search of escape and and not in pursuit
12:11
of another. Yes, and I'm ready and willing to pay for my passage?
12:16
Who who sent you here? A man named Diego We had to leave
12:20
Mexico rather a Berkley race guy the briar lodis and he ain't friend. I've
12:26
been watching him. I had better leave me stay. Brought her come back
12:31
to the bar. She's having a drink with us. I'd better go.
12:35
He wouldn't make trouble. I grabbed her arm and held her in the chair.
12:39
A man who had been standing at the bar moved closer. He was
12:43
a Norwegian seaman. He was wearing a maid's cap. The soiled white shirt
12:46
was unbuttoned, revealing a powerful hair madded chest. Came over and placed his
12:50
hands palm down on the table. Did you hear me? Mona, please?
12:54
Gunna. I've turned you before, I've cut the movement of his hands
12:58
as they came away from the table. The back of his hand caught across
13:00
the face. My feet head over behind. Then I had friends, a
13:03
couple of the Norwegians service, and they moved into the fights. I wan't
13:07
drop that chair. I'll try. I'm gonna try again, all right,
13:15
come on right? Somebody intercepted me. I heard the swish of a chair
13:18
coming through the air and tried to stop. What was the sound of the
13:22
green doubloon faded out, and so did the rain. Everything faded away into
13:26
black silence. I came to in a storeroom lighted by a feeble candle.
13:37
Mark was tressed up in a corner, still unconscious. Two men were seated
13:41
on a couple of small barrels. One of them was a Japanese yo.
13:46
Did consider all damage to my place of business? Mister Race, How did
13:50
you know my name from your American divers license? This is mister Huddle,
13:54
Oh hello, hello Race. He was wearing a white suit in a panama
14:01
hat, and neither of them had been improved by the climate. And the
14:05
small finger of his left hand, however, was a blue, white diamond,
14:07
which demanded recognition in any climates. I see you're admiring my ring.
14:11
Raid was a gift from a passenger. The passenger, my daughter tells me,
14:18
you are anxious to leave Panama. Mister Harrow has accommodations for people who
14:22
find our company body. I haven't exactly been bored, mister Kamaboto, but
14:28
if Harrow can get us out of here, I'm ready to leave my aunt
14:31
to trussers in the harbor. Will sail at four am. I don't imagine
14:37
you have a passport. If I had a passport, i'd be selling from
14:39
Kalan. Where's your next port of call? It's a sort of unscheduled,
14:46
mister Race. You'll be dropped off someplace in South America, Venezuela perhaps,
14:50
or will there be other passengers one other in addition to you and your friend?
15:00
Speaking of me and my friend, would you mind untying us? Oh,
15:03
I'm afraid that isn't quite possible. You see, I'm a stickler for
15:07
procedure, mister Race, and tying up the passengers as part of the procedure.
15:11
Yes, you'll be blindfolded taken aboard the yacht just before we sail.
15:16
The rather uncomfortable journey. But then one must suffer some to attain ones goal.
15:22
You mean, we'll be tied up all the way until we can put
15:26
you ashore, mister Race. I can see the point here where somebody might
15:28
give you away. But why aboard the ship? Future is from the law
15:33
a risky cargo, mister Rays. The South American nations are rather thorough about
15:37
their coastal patrol vessels. I have as much at stake there as you have.
15:41
I wouldn't want to be caught good, because if you are tied up,
15:46
we can make sure you won't be caught. What do you mean,
15:48
Harold, You and your friend are hot cargo, mister Race. The only
15:52
way to carry hot cargo is to be sure you can get rid of If
15:58
we spotted, mister Race, you'll be weighted down and thrown over the side.
16:11
We'll return of the adventures of Frank Race in just about one minute,
16:22
and now back to the Adventures of Frank Race. The sea voyage. With
16:33
weights around your ankles, there's no vacation at all, especially when you can't
16:37
change your mind to go to the mountains instead. Even if David Bellamy and
16:41
his embezzled three hundred thousand dollars were on board, chances of getting the money
16:45
was sling. The chances of leaving the vessel alive seems even slingbo There's something
16:51
to think about the dock on the hose, the chaucer pitch to roll their
16:55
way into the open sea. Oh brother, jumak race, Yeah, yeah,
17:04
it's me. I think, Hey, what's going on? An earthquake
17:08
or some we're on board a yacht. Kind gentleman is smuggling. I was
17:11
into South America? Oh brother, right, and I would sign away my
17:15
social security to be smuggling. In the book on Navy yat Hey, win
17:18
a mate, something's wrong with me? Race, I can't move, You're
17:22
tied up, so coming on timing. I happen to be in the same
17:26
boat markers, if you'll pardon upon them. Roll around and see if you
17:30
can work the ropes against something with an edge? All right? Ah,
17:36
no good? Racing side is some kind of pipe by the what's that matter?
17:41
Something bounced off my head. It was alive, all right. Probably
17:44
the whole is full of them. But this I give up driving a nice
17:48
comfortable cab with not even a mouse in it. A light up there?
17:53
Somebody coming down? Race? What are you doing the board. I often
18:03
sail on the Chaucer, my father owned it before. Mister Harold, I've
18:07
come to help you. You can start by cutting these robes. Do you
18:08
have a knife? No, but I can go and get one to Risky.
18:12
There's a very small pen knife on a keychain in my pocket. Yes,
18:17
yes, I haven't. He's still now. Is there another passenger on
18:21
the ship? Yes, in the captain's cabin, Captain clost class big gets
18:26
Bellamie, right, better be Bellamy? How many in the crew were not
18:30
for including gunner good. I want to see that boy again. Always be
18:33
careful. He wants to kill you, and this time he has a gun.
18:37
All of the crew are armed there now are your hands are free?
18:44
Now you get to work on Mark. I'll untie the leg robes. I'm
18:47
going up on Deckmark if I can. I'll make the captain's cabin all right?
18:51
What do you want? I shoot? The want to h see if
18:52
you can separate one of the crew from a gun and leat me there.
19:03
There was an oil slicker hanging at the top of the companion way, and
19:07
I slipped it on for cover. The crew on deck was too busy to
19:10
becoming noses in the storm. I hugged the rail until I got to the
19:12
captain's captains, and I caught the door handle and christ him. Hello,
19:18
Senor Diego, seniory surprise that Diego has enough money for an ocean voyage.
19:26
You see after you left me, I ran into another man with no wrist
19:30
watching what's money? He was loaded mound, Diego loaded, You're liable to
19:37
be loaded with lead before the strip is over, Diego, they have no
19:40
intention of landing it safely, will be jettisoned to the first time of a
19:42
coast patrol boat. Only you and your friend and your mount Diable are come
19:48
for the same reason. Diego was not tied up in a hole. I
19:52
seek only to escape, Saniel. But you have gone to find somebody.
19:56
I have come to find somebody. Yes, how did you know I and
20:00
you are looking for David Bella that he's on board. She sings the poll
20:11
the reef we snakes got here. Don't go for that gun, Harold.
20:17
I'm gonna need all the help you can get you. All right, Race,
20:18
I'll make a deal with you. Take a pop pop on the forward
20:21
bulkhead. Here you go, you go aft. I'll send your a friend
20:22
to help you race. All right, you better hit the radio and put
20:25
out an SOS. That isn't gonna be order. The radio shack smashed.
20:27
I'll have to project funding. If you've heard out of the sound effects,
20:30
here's the heart or the palms. Hey, never mind, him will be
20:33
lucky if any of us could out of this line. Oh brother, it's
20:52
a blisteredness. Plump race it. It won't be for much longer. Look
20:55
up ahead, hey, that's land in small Island. There's a patch of
20:59
clear sky. He's hitting her interview to going oh rather safe in the last.
21:03
That's the misstatement of the year. Once we hit the common, that
21:04
lagoon, that's when the trouble starts. I mean, that's when I'm gonna
21:07
start. Last. We'll have outlived our usefulness. Alright, it's pretty narrow
21:11
open and internet. They're going, yes, and we're coming into the fast
21:15
the tide flows picking it up. Now that narrow entrance may save our lives.
21:19
I need figure there. Foliage comes right down to the water and overhangs.
21:22
We abandoned ship as soon as we hit the entrance. I mean we
21:26
dive. I'm afraid, so Marcus les dive or die we'll have a better
21:30
chance if we can get our feet on land. O brother, what's really
21:32
riding this tide? Now? This tubb feels like a sight boy. All
21:36
right, boy, here it comes. Stay under water as much as you
21:37
can. The kerne will be rough. Good luck, good luckers, all
21:41
right, diet's gone right. Oh, come out of it, Mark,
22:00
come out of it. You're all right? Oh oh, And I did
22:04
the geography port, but I have swallowed the whole ocean, and I don't
22:07
have to be changed speak in geography. Well, not too far from where
22:15
we started. A small island off the Panama coasts. Get the ship in
22:18
all right, Yes, she's beached. Move that brush a little and you
22:22
can see her. Yeah, killed over that baby ain't gonna sail anymore.
22:30
But where is everybody? I'm afraid they're beating the brush looking for us.
22:33
They spot of us when I drag your ashore. This island ain't very big.
22:37
Race. One of them is liably yelled. They ain't go any minute.
22:42
Let's come amoto in the tree on the other side of the lagua.
22:47
I didn't even know he was on board. No, we gotta stay low
22:49
until it comes down. Anything out on this side, right, for the
22:59
beach. All right, Mark, they're becoming and there's no way we can
23:07
avoid them. Better get busy while we can. The letter come around.
23:10
What are we gonna do? Ever hear of a meleeman trap? What is
23:15
it? A dame in a surround? Just as effective. They've got to
23:17
get back into those saplings and pull down some of the vines. We take
23:19
two of the saplings strong enough to require your weight and mind to bend them,
23:22
and we stick them to the ground and make a noose from the vines.
23:26
No kidden well, guns and no guns. I've got to fight THEMP
23:29
guys and hang myself. If this works, will have at least one gun
23:32
to fight with. You stay on the cover when we get the trap,
23:33
rig I'll take myself out his bait on the other side. Now, as
23:37
soon as one of them steps into the noose on the ground, release the
23:38
vine holding the sapling. We'll have ourselves a gun and one man less to
23:41
contend with it. Oh, I get it. The cheese go up when
23:45
the guy goes up with him like a piece of dust, and the hooper
23:48
vacuum there. Come on, we haven't got much time. That doesn't Mark,
24:02
you know when to release the vines. Sure, as soon as somebody
24:04
steps into the nose on the ground, right, we finished, just in
24:07
time, get hidden. Let's see what is one of the seamen. I'm
24:12
going down ahead and draw him after me. Come on, Baby and Dynasty
24:19
if they wants, come on, come on, stupid, you're looking a
24:23
long way. It's right, Baby stepped right anyway. Father, it's just
24:30
a fuelty more. That's the jackpot. Now Mark, what didn't it looking
24:37
him up? Day? It's not tell him down to pick up that gun
24:40
with pleasure. Now we can begin someplace and hauld off. No, Now
24:42
we can reverse tactics. I'm tired of being hunted. I came after Bellamine.
24:47
I'm gonna get him. What's one of them is dull? I'm not
24:51
sure. I'm a Moto maybe, or even Diego or Harrow. My mortal
24:55
is Japanese and Diego is a Mexican, and Bellamy is an expert dialectician.
24:59
Remember he did all right as a radio actual it's right, that's right.
25:03
I don't forget that gunner cack that only wants killed the guy with his bare
25:06
hands, didn't he My gun has got the biggest hands I have it,
25:08
sir, he got that ss through when we were putting up on that reef.
25:11
It may not be long before patrol boat gets here. I want to
25:15
have Bellamy wrapped up by then. Hey, he comes to new question.
25:18
Jesus, not chop another one. Race and my shooting boy. All right,
25:23
sure, being wrong? Don't turn around? All right, put a
25:27
flatfoot, draw the gun behind you, throw it better, do it,
25:32
Mark, I got them, Harrold, I'm gonna let them have it right
25:34
now. You're not gonna drop your weapon too. Don't you tell me I've
25:38
got him. I'll kill you too. And he gets that's the end of
25:45
the killing. Race not quality is still holding that gun. Oh very well,
25:49
then I'll throw it away. I couldn't stand by and see murdered,
25:55
even if he was going to make it profitable. Are you sure it was
25:59
the prospect of murder of the change your mind? Why what do you mean,
26:03
Race? I mean the United States Coast Guard cutter that's heading into the
26:06
lagoon. Well, what do you know it is? Yes? Oh brother,
26:10
look at that beautiful play. Why I didn't even see it? Excuse
26:15
me, Race, I'm going down and throw flowers at those guys. Harold,
26:19
What made you kill Gunna. I told you I didn't want to see
26:23
him shoot you down in cold blood. You said he was going to make
26:26
it profitable. What did you mean by that? As you may have guessed,
26:30
his real name is Bellamy. He's the man you were after. What's
26:33
your real name, Harold? I don't understand. You had Monas steer me
26:40
to diego first. You wanted me to think that he was Bellamie, but
26:42
you stopped Gunna from shooting me when you saw that cutter coming into the lagoon.
26:47
Now that he's dead, you want me to think that he's Bellamy.
26:49
But he is. I tell you he was. You ever been a radio
26:52
actor, Harrod, I've never even listened to the thing? No? Then
26:56
why did you refer to the storm as sound effect? And why did you
27:00
say you have to project to be heard when you send an SOS? But
27:04
aren't you smart enough to know radio language? When I hear it? Bellamy?
27:11
I want to make a deal with you. That money you can bezzled,
27:14
tell me where it is and there'll be no charges pressed. And I
27:18
count on that absolutely. Money is an American Exchange Bank of Brazil under the
27:23
name of Edward Harrow. Good. Now you won't have any prison term to
27:27
serve after you're executed. Executed, You're not forgetting You just murdered, Gunner.
27:33
Are you why? You're as good as you used to be? Right?
27:42
What's going on? What's going on? Mister Bellamy just signed off after
27:45
a mediocre farewell performance? Bellamy, that's Bellamy? Yes, it is well,
27:52
Marcus. What are you looking so unhappy about? Oh no, no,
27:56
Look look at the clouds up there. Molly cal Race had rather dead.
28:02
It's gonna rain again. The Adventures of Frank Race starring Paul Dubove with
28:23
Tony Barrett as Mark Donovan comes to you from Hollywood. Others heard in tonight's
28:27
cast for Her Butterfield, Jack Crucian, Michael Ann Barrett, and Gunner Peterson.
28:33
This series is written and directed by Buckley Angel and Joel Murcott. The
28:37
music is composed and played by Ivan Ditmars. Be sure to be with us
28:41
again the same time next week for another dramatic chapter in the Adventures of Frank
28:45
Race. Arc Gilmore speaking. This is a Brucel's production. Welcome back there
29:26
is. This was a solid episode. I missed the quality of Tom Collins
29:33
voice, but Paul Dawov certainly very talented and capable of filling in. There
29:38
was a lesson here. If you go after and someone who is known as
29:42
the Man of a thousand voices able to adapt any sort of dialect, it
29:52
might be helpful to know how tall, and other physical characteristics that might not
29:57
be so easily changed. It seemed like they with the confusion they were out
30:06
there and all they had to go on was he could change his voice,
30:10
but didn't keep track of his other characteristics. Of course, the voice and
30:15
dialect was pretty much all we could tell on radio. All right, Well,
30:18
once again, I hope you have the best of Christmases, and we'll
30:22
be back with you tomorrow on Christmas Day, having recorded the show earlier.
30:27
If this were back in the golden age of radio, we would say that
30:30
tomorrow's program was transcribed. But they're all transcribed anyway by that definition. So
30:36
anyway, we'll see you back here tomorrow for a Life in your Hands,
30:40
and then join us back here on Monday for another great adventure of Frank Race.
