  part three of Kudos for Kahn. But here now is the conclusion of the
• 1:25
  Star of Campe Town Matter from Hollywood. It's time now for Johnny Doller.
• 1:34
  This is Ben Stacy partner. Oh, hi Stacey. We'll be docking at
• 1:38
  the car in an hour or so. Now, yeah, I know,
• 1:41
  don't forget. I'm gonna show you and helen around the town. Okay,
• 1:45
  I'll be ready, say Dollar, that was a little excitement we had aboard
• 1:49
  ship last night. Huh at Stewart who fell overboard? That's putting it politely.
• 1:53
  What do you mean? I think he got pushed tonight and every weekday
• 2:05
  night. Bob Bailey and the Transcribed Adventures of the Man with the Action Pact

  expenscoud America's Fabulous Freelance Insurance Investigator, Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar from Special Investigator
• 2:27
  Johnny Dollar. Location at sea on the Southern Empress Our ruled Cape Town to
• 2:30
  Dakar to the home office Tri Eastern Intemnity Associates Assignment The Star of Cape Town
• 2:36
  matter expense account concluded adam twelve fifty cents room service on two aspirins. Right
• 2:47
  from the start, this whole deal had been a series of headaches at Ache
• 2:51
  one Andrew Forbes, international playboy and owner of the Star of Cape Town ensured
• 2:54
  for one hundred and fifty thousand bucks. Fores was tossing that stone around like
• 2:59
  it was a chief toy. He wound up murdered, the diamond missing.
• 3:02
  Forbes' this probable killer, Julio Biock, was in a Cape Town jail at
• 3:07
  the moment, but his confederate was still on the loose. The steward who
• 3:10
  could have told me who the confederate was had been fished out of the drink
• 3:13
  dead last night. Now we were going ashore at the car, and whoever
• 3:17
  had that diamond could make it hard for me to find. It could be
• 3:21
  Stacy, the boy from the Wide Open Spaces. It could be Helen,
• 3:23
  traveling companion to Agatha Forbes, and I knew if it did turn out to
• 3:28
  be Helen, it leave me kind of sick inside. Worst of all,
• 3:30
  it could be somebody I didn't even know about, hence the aspro Stacey had
• 3:37
  asked us to meet him at the gang way at ten o'clock, but he
• 3:38
  was nowhere in sight when I showed up. Pretty soon Helen and Agatha Forbes
• 3:43
  came along. Morning Johnny, Hi, Helen Forbes, Good morning, mister
• 3:46
  Darland. Helen just told me about what happened last night, somebody trying to
• 3:51
  seize her on deck Dred. Perhaps I shouldn't have told you, miss no
• 3:53
  No. I'm glad you did anything happened during the night, Helen No.
• 3:57
  I kept my stateroom door lock. Wow here you are sorry, I'm late.
• 4:00
  I guess I were slept already already. Say now, I'm mighty glad
• 4:05
  to see you with us, Miss Forbes. I was hoping you'd come.
• 4:08
  I won't be going with you. I'm going to stay board and rest.
• 4:11
  Oh come on now, Miss Forbes, do you good to let your hair
• 4:14
  down and frisk around a bit? Really, mister Stacy, I assure you
• 4:18
  I don't feel like frisking around a bit. I'll see you when you get
• 4:23
  back. Say no, I guess i'll put my foot in my mouth talking
• 4:26
  that way. Oh well, I usually do anyway, It's sure big enough.
• 4:34
  Well. One thing I had to give Stacy credit for he was a
• 4:38
  good guy. He threaded us through street after street in the Native quarter of
• 4:42
  the car narrow passageways crowded with people in stalls where Native Hawk is worthending all
• 4:46
  sorts of missiondise This is fascinating, isn't it? Like I told you,
• 4:50
  i'd cars quite a play. I love it. I wonder if it isn't
• 4:54
  about time we started back to the ship. Say just a minute, hell
• 4:56
  em, I think there's a chomp around here. You'd be interested in Silk's
• 5:00
  perfume stuff like that. You interested, sure, well, let me get
• 5:02
  my barons a minute. You need more perfume, Johnny, doesn't bother you
• 5:06
  that I still wear this perfume Andy Porpes gave me. If it does,
• 5:11
  I won't. Yeah. Yeah, the shop I had in mind is right
• 5:14
  down the street. Come on. Stacy led us to the shop. Ellen
• 5:19
  began trying on dresses and rolles. This I didn't like. If she had
• 5:24
  the diamond, this was a golden opportunity to pass it along, but there
• 5:27
  wasn't much I could do about it. Then, all of a sudden,
• 5:30
  I realized that Stacy was nowhere in sight. I went outside and started along
• 5:32
  the street looking for him. Then I spotted a man following me, a
• 5:36
  native in a bernous so I ducked down the next daney to shake him,
• 5:40
  but he didn't shake. Then I noticed that this was a blind alley.
• 5:44
  The native was closing in, and what he had in his hand looked strangely
• 5:47
  like a knife. Suddenly, a door beside me. Come on in,
• 5:51
  Cracy, I said, come on in. A gun in front of me,
• 5:56
  a knife behind me. I guess I don't have much choice. Oh,
• 6:00
  you had your stewed steer me. I figured sooner or later you'd start
• 6:04
  looking for me, so I just thought i'd make it easy for you.
• 6:06
  Well, thanks, stick around, Hassan. I may need you very well.
• 6:11
  Hassan's a pretty effective persuader. Dollar, jolly, So you're the boy
• 6:15
  i've been after, Stacy. Correction, you're the boy i've been after.
• 6:19
  Dollar. What are you talking about? A diamond called the star a Cape
• 6:23
  Town? Let's have it. Oh, look, don't give me that routine.
• 6:26
  Foes was knife by your buddy Julio back in Cape Town. You killed
• 6:30
  the steward aboard ship to keep him from telling me. It was you who
• 6:31
  sent the cable grand to Julio. Right, boy, Dollar, that should
• 6:34
  mean you've got the dam Smart enough, boy, you think I'd have a
• 6:38
  rangeous little reception for you if I already had a stone. Wait a minute,
• 6:42
  you're the one who was doing all the room searching aboard ship. I'm
• 6:44
  the one. Now, let's have it. I don't have it, Stacy,
• 6:47
  and I don't know where it is. You get a real sense of
• 6:50
  humored Dollar, so has Hassan. Why don't you show him? Hassan very
• 6:56
  well, Hey, look, this isn't going to do you any good.
• 7:00
  It's not gonna do your face any good either, Hassan. Hey, look,
• 7:03
  don't try it, Dollar, I guarantee you'll get yourself shot. Now.
• 7:08
  Look, so you're a nice, brave boy, but you're being foolish.
• 7:11
  It's no good trying to snow me. I got it all figured out.
• 7:14
  Just what have you got all figured out? That isn't in her stateroom,
• 7:15
  It isn't in yours. I searched them both again this morning before we
• 7:18
  came ashore. That's why I was late. You're talking about Helen. Who
• 7:20
  else? That's why I stirreed her to that shop to try on dresses,
• 7:25
  little lady who owns it as a friend of mine. She had found the
• 7:28
  diameond if Helen was carrying Helen? Yeah, Helen, how do you know
• 7:30
  she had it? Process of elimination, buddy. She was the only one
• 7:34
  with Forbes before Julio got to him. I've been watching you and Helen like
• 7:39
  a hawk. Dollar. There's only one time she could have given you the
• 7:42
  stone. That was during that tender little clinch on deck last night, right
• 7:45
  under my nose. Why don't they what's the matter? Dollar? Nothing?
• 7:53
  Yeah? Yeah, what Stacy had just said, popped the whole deal into
• 7:57
  place suddenly, right under my nose, right where it had been all the
• 8:01
  time. Tell you what dollar you got? Just five minutes to tell me
• 8:03
  where that diamond is. Hassam will be here with you, and he's going
• 8:05
  to start persuading again. If you don't talk, I had to get back
• 8:09
  to the ship somehow. That meant I'd have to do some fast talking.
• 8:15
  I looked at Hassan. I couldn't tell which was glittering more as black eyes
• 8:18
  of the knife he held against my throats. One wrong word and I knew
• 8:20
  he'd start coming. Hazzan, what do you want? You come from the
• 8:26
  desert. Don't you why you're a long way from home? Did you get
• 8:31
  homesick? What do you mean? Oh? I was just thinking, with
• 8:35
  half the money from that diamonds, you could buy yourself an oasis with all
• 8:39
  the trimmings. Do not worry. Stacy would pay me well when we get
• 8:43
  the jewell. What's he giving you for this job? Three goats and a
• 8:46
  new bernousalah easy with that knife. It's just that everybody who works for Stacy
• 8:52
  seems to wind up getting paid off the wrong way. Take Coliobiac For one,
• 8:56
  the guy Stacy hired to get the diamond in the first place. He's
• 9:00
  roosting in the Cape Town jail right now, you lie. Oh, you
• 9:01
  can check on it. Then there's the steward who sent Stacy's message to be
• 9:05
  out. He got shoved overboard. You can check on that too, But
• 9:11
  I'm sure a thing like that would never happen to you. Go one dollar,
• 9:16
  Okay, I know where the diamond is. How do I know I
• 9:20
  can trust you you can come with me to get it. I don't know.
• 9:28
  At least he was thinking about it, and that's all I wanted.
• 9:31
  His eyes got that far away look. That's what I was waiting for.
• 9:33
  I whipped my arm up and knocked his knife in his I buried my fist
• 9:37
  in his mistake, he checked knife. A rabbit bunch finished him off.
• 9:41
  I dove for the wall just ae Stacey came charging in war. I kaped
• 9:45
  the gun out of his hand. I went to work. Stacey was rugged,
• 9:50
  but I finally made it. I got to the car police to put
• 9:56
  Stacey and zan on Ice patched up my face and headed back to the ship.
• 10:00
  But there was something else hurting me a lot more than my face.
• 10:01
  Helen. Johnny. Yeah, Johnny, have you been you face what happens?
• 10:13
  I have to hand it to you, Helen, that was a real
• 10:16
  class a snow job you pulled on me. You're talking about it. Yeah,
• 10:20
  it was right under my nose all the time, the perfume Forbes gave
• 10:24
  to you. Now, where's the bottle on my dressing table? Okay,
• 10:30
  a pretty fancy bottle, solid base or maybe not so solid, Johnny,
• 10:37
  in the base of the bottle, starve down. I'll bet you are real
• 10:43
  surprise, don't you, Johnny. I didn't know it was there. I
• 10:45
  didn't have any idea. I swear it. She's telling the truth, mister
• 10:48
  Dots. Wow, well, I guess that that gun looks sort of out
• 10:54
  of character. Perhaps I won't hesitate to use it if necessary. I don't
• 10:58
  understand. It was cruel of Andrew and me to use you like this,
• 11:01
  Helen, but we saw no other alternative. Wait a minute. You and
• 11:07
  your brother rigged this whole deal right from the beginning, didn't you sure?
• 11:11
  Sure? Because you slipped yesterday, Agatha when you told me you discussed your
• 11:15
  brother's party with him. But back in Cape Town, he told me it
• 11:18
  was a surprise party for you, Johnny. I still Oh it's simple,
• 11:20
  Helen. That bottle of perfume would have turned up missing when you got to
• 11:24
  New York. Agatha would have appropriated it. One big question, Agatha,
• 11:30
  why all this? Have you any idea what it means to see somebody drag
• 11:35
  the family name through the dirt time after time with his wild escapades? And
• 11:41
  have you any idea what those escapades cost? A brother wasn't dead? Huh?
• 11:46
  Terribly? We were pressed to the war. Oh why didn't you sell
• 11:50
  the diamond? We were bound by the will not to that. Arrangements were
• 11:54
  made with someone in New York. What we could get for the diamond,
• 11:58
  plus what we could collect from the insurance it would be enough. Oh,
• 12:01
  nice little scheme, But you didn't figure on who you'll be trying for the
• 12:05
  diamond in Cape Town and killing your brother in the process. No, first
• 12:11
  I didn't know what to do, but it soon became clear that more than
• 12:16
  ever I had to go through with the plan. My brother's creditors began to
• 12:18
  make trouble right after his murder the diamond. Please, now, look,
• 12:26
  don't you get an Agatha, You're licked. What do you mean you've done
• 12:31
  all this to protect the Forbes name. Of course you've failed. The story's
• 12:35
  out. No, it's not only to the two of you. How are
• 12:37
  you going to keep us from talking. I'll do whatever is necessary. Bribe
• 12:43
  us, kill us. Sorry, neither one's gonna work, mister Dollars,
• 12:46
  do not force trapped Agatha by the same thing that got you into all this,
• 12:50
  the Forbes name. Are you going to brand it with murder? No?
• 12:58
  I don't think you are. I don't think you could. I don't
• 13:03
  I don't know. Please, mister Golla, I'll take the gun Agatha.
• 13:09
  Thanks, Oh Johnny, that's okay. I guess sir, I have failed,
• 13:16
  Heaven, I all the way expenser count. I am thirteen three hundred
• 13:24
  and seventy five dollars and fifty cents. Transportation and incidentals from the car home
• 13:28
  expenser count total twelve hundred and eighty three dollars and sixty cents. I turned
• 13:33
  the diamond over to the authorities for safekeeping and Agatha Forbes to face charges of
• 13:37
  fraud. Holio Biak and Ben Stacy were indicted for the murder of Andrew Forbes
• 13:41
  remarks. How about Agatha, I guess she did what she did because she
• 13:46
  thought the end justified the means, which is one of the oldest sucker drafts
• 13:50
  of them all about Helen Allow that she's no longer a suspect could be I'm
• 13:56
  no longer building up to a big letdown weather. It hasn't come yet,
• 14:01
  and I'm still waiting, and the waiting is real. Pleasant. Yours Trulee,
• 14:05
  Johnny Dollar. Now here's our star to tell you about next week's story.
• 14:22
  Next week A yacht that wasn't there and a man who wasn't there.
• 14:26
  They never were, but that's where I found them. Join us, won't
• 14:31
  you? Yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Yours Truly Johnny Dollar is starring Bob
• 14:41
  Bailey, is transcribed in Hollywood. It is written by Robert Rife and produced
• 14:46
  and directed by Jack Johnstone heard him. This week's cast were Gene Tatum,
• 14:50
  Virginia, Greg Harry bartel Chester Stratton, Marvin Miller, and d J.
• 14:54
  Thompson. Musical supervision by Amerigo Marino. Be sure to join us on Monday
• 15:00
  night, same time and station for another exciting story of Yours Truly, Johnny
• 15:05
  Dollar. Roy Rowan speaking, welcome back, well. I enjoyed this serial
• 16:03
  and this one may have been. It may not have been the most emotionally
• 16:08
  engagement, and I think some of the earlier ones may have done that,
• 16:12
  But this is what one may have been the best mystery, just because they
• 16:15
  really had a multifaceted solution. Oftentimes, and I think most of the times,
• 16:23
  as we've heard these Johnny Dollar stories, we've had one culprit. But
• 16:30
  when you have two different groups of people with different ends, that really makes
• 16:36
  for an interesting mystery with a lot of complexity. So I appreciated this week's
• 16:41
  pot. All right, well now and the listener comments and feedback, and
• 16:45
  we begin with email from William who emails regarding Tony Barrett. I said,
• 16:55
  I was surprised to learn that Tony Barrett wrote a Johnny Dollar cereal, so
• 16:57
  I looked him up on I if this is in fact the same Tony Barrett,
• 17:03
  who is a character actor on many radio shows, then it's surprising to
• 17:06
  learn that he later became a prolific writer and television as well. Well.
• 17:11
  It's surprising to me anyway. It seems like a lot of character actors in
• 17:14
  old time radio either continued acting in TV or they dropped out of sight altogether.
• 17:18
  But this Tony Barrett apparently had his last television acting role in nineteen fifty
• 17:23
  nine and was writing into the nineteen seventies. Well, it's an old cliche
• 17:30
  about actors. What I really want to do is direct or write. And
• 17:36
  even in the case of Bob Bailey, Bob Bailey actually wrote a little bit
• 17:41
  for early television and for at least one episode of Yours Truley Johnny Dollar,
• 17:48
  and I'll mention which one it is, because he often wrote under pseudonym,
• 17:52
  so it was kind of hard to track down. And a lot of people
• 17:56
  who come to Hollywood wanting to get involved in the creative into things they start
• 18:06
  out through acting. That's exactly you know, the path, for example,
• 18:11
  that Jack Webb took, and Tony Barrett did indeed have a very successful career
• 18:17
  writing a lot of episodes of Felony, Squad, Burke's Law, Peter Gunn
• 18:25
  and really just an incredibly solid career as a writer and producer over television,
• 18:32
  and that perhaps was really where his whole intention may have been from the get
• 18:40
  go. And Christine commented regarding the Modest Touch Matter one of my favorites.
• 18:45
  Thanks Christine, that was a good serial. Now let's go ahead and take
• 18:52
  a listen to part three of Kudos for Conn in the Carter Brown Serials Carter
• 19:10
  Brown Mysteries Adventures in Excitement and Suspense, based on the best selling novels by
• 19:18
  the slick storytelling sensation Carter Brown. Well, it looked like your hero,
• 19:37
  Joe Kahan wasn't the only one searching for helen Usburg. But at least your
• 19:41
  hero knew why the dame was so popular because of the parcel given to me
• 19:45
  by her dead husband's pal Kaplan, the parcel which contained two hundred thousand dollars
• 19:51
  and which now nestled in my safe deposit backs. Since I assure that Mailer,
• 19:56
  the manager of the Kasbarnet Club, was tied up on the thing I'd
• 19:59
  had my secret Harry days he get us off a job there a cigarette girl.
• 20:03
  Then I sat tight and waited for something to break. Hello. Is
• 20:11
  that you? Yeah? Who's that? It's Captain here? You remember me?
• 20:15
  Sure? What can I do for you? Mister Kappen? You remember
• 20:18
  I gave you a partil? Ye? Well, there seems to have been
• 20:22
  some sort of mistake. Mistake. Yes, missus Buzbug is with me now,
• 20:26
  and she claimed that she never gave you any authority to pick up that
• 20:30
  parcel for her, and she wants it right away. She's with you,
• 20:33
  now, that's right with con Well holder there, I'll be right over,
• 20:48
  mister Kahn. You were quick come in. Thanks. She's still here,
• 20:52
  yes, yes, she's waiting for him in the living room this way.
• 20:56
  I'm glad you called me, Kaptain. I don't worry. I can straighten
• 20:59
  everything out, I hope. So here we are. What don be shy?
• 21:06
  Cohn? Come on, he and mailer Hank. You're right, Cohn,
• 21:11
  that's a gun on your kidneys. They're smart and you'll keep them.
• 21:15
  It is gun, Hank. That's it. Well, well, nice word,
• 21:21
  Captain. You really had me fool. I thought the Duwsburg Dame was
• 21:25
  really here. I'm sorry, mister Khan, honest I am, but they
• 21:29
  burst in here threatening me. I wouldn't have done it even then, but
• 21:33
  they started on my wife. I just couldn't stand that, mister Connor,
• 21:37
  I just couldn't stand it. Sure, Captains here, I understand. Now
• 21:40
  we've all had a good cry. Where is it, con How did you
• 21:44
  figure caplain? Not too difficult? After you came to see me, I
• 21:47
  said to Hank, there goes one smart private eye. Why don't you follow
• 21:51
  him around a little and see where he goes. We got interested when you
• 21:53
  went to Glaven Chemicals, and even more interested when you came here to see
• 21:57
  Kaplin. You're a smart all right. Gone. It was staring us in
• 22:02
  the face, but we never saw it. Cortez never chose Carl Duisburg for
• 22:06
  the job because he was done. He chose him because he had brains,
• 22:11
  and Duisburg wouldn't trust anybody. But he thought he'd look after his wife,
• 22:15
  Helen, so he made sure even she wouldn't know where it was until she
• 22:18
  woke up some time and REMEMBEREDI his pal kaplan that way made it safe for
• 22:23
  Helen, Both with Cortez and me. It took a private eye to show
• 22:27
  us the way. Yeah, a private eye who was so smart he forgot
• 22:32
  to look behind him when he walked down the road. We all make mistakes,
• 22:36
  and we have to pay for him. So where is it Supposing I
• 22:41
  don't tell you? Supposing you want to go on living. That's just why
• 22:44
  I won't tell you. You aren't going to kill Meatley get what was in
• 22:48
  that parcel? So I think I won't tell you hank Ah, where did
• 22:56
  you say it was? I led you into a secret name. I can
• 23:00
  take an awful lot of that. It's not as bad as people may got.
• 23:04
  When it gets really bad, you pass out anyway. And even if
• 23:07
  you don't pass out, you say the parcel is somewhere aware it isn't.
• 23:11
  That gives you a break until a guy finds out it isn't there. It's
• 23:15
  a game we could play for a long time. So what do you want
• 23:21
  for the parcel? Percentage? We could discuss. I don't want any percentage.
• 23:26
  I got into this because I have a client. I want what the
• 23:29
  client wants. Helen Usburg. Give me Helen, and I'll give you the
• 23:33
  parcel. I need forty eight dollars. I'll have to do a little organizing.
• 23:38
  Okay, you'll call me no, I don't think so. Just in
• 23:42
  case you change your mind and decide to skip with the parcel, I think
• 23:47
  you'd better be my guest for the next forty eight dollars. The cares Bar
• 23:51
  isn't a bad sort of place, Okay, suits me. We'll go then,
• 23:56
  mister Caplan, Yeah, there's five hundred dollars. That's to help you
• 24:00
  forget about what's happened here. If you don't forget, we'll come back.
• 24:10
  It was early when we arrived at the Kasbarn, too early for customers,
• 24:12
  but not for the staff, the waiters and the cigarette girls. As we
• 24:18
  walked through the room, I saw a vision in black nets, stockings,
• 24:22
  black tights and a tight black blouse. What's the matter? What are you
• 24:26
  stopping for? I'm out of cigarettes? Might if I buy some? Oh?
• 24:30
  Go ahead? Thanks cigarettes, sir? Two packs of camels, Daisy.
• 24:40
  They're gonna keep me here. Find out which room? See if you
• 24:41
  can get the key, I get out the fast for things I do for
• 24:45
  a living. Two packs of camels, sir, Thanks, keep the change
• 24:53
  I have, Daisy. I joined Mailer and Hank and was led down a
• 24:56
  car to past Mailer's office. After the door and opened it. I apologize
• 25:04
  for the smallness of the room, Cohn, but you will be comfortable if
• 25:08
  a little restricted tomorrow will let you out and around for exercise. I'll have
• 25:14
  a meal sent up later. Thanks, you're seeing your Cahn. The click
• 25:22
  of the lock was an unpleasant sound. Somehow I reached for a cigarette and
• 25:26
  wished it was a bottle. About an hour later, the door opened and
• 25:32
  hanged them the tray inside. The food was good, but it almost made
• 25:36
  me feel sleepy. Two hours later, I was stretched on the bed when
• 25:41
  the key grated in the lock again. Joe, Daisy, how are you,
• 25:47
  daisy? Honey? How'd you do it? That ugly character called Hank
• 25:49
  had the key? How'd you get it from him? I distracted him?
• 25:52
  But how these legs you're always talking about? Oh, they're worth their weight
• 25:57
  in gold than what? Then I smacked him with a bottle. Daisy,
• 26:02
  you're a wonder. How do we get out of here? Straight down to
• 26:04
  the right. That's the back door. Come on, hurry before Hank comes
• 26:07
  round. Hey, is a car shoe? The cars no good unless you've
• 26:18
  got the keys for well, you never know, people get killless. We're
• 26:23
  in luck Cadillac with keys. Here's when we ride in a style. Baby,
• 26:29
  Come on, climb in. Well. I think I rade a raise
• 26:38
  for that rescue act. You sure do, Honey, You're terrific. There's
• 26:42
  only one thing I wish what we had time to get back to Hanks,
• 26:47
  so I could have collected my gun. Well, keep your eyes straight ahead,
• 26:51
  don't turn your head now, hold out your hand. Is that it?
• 27:00
  I thought you might want a gun, so I took it. I'm
• 27:04
  glad to get rid of it. The dawn thing was cold. That's it,
• 27:14
  Daisy, the whole story up to date. Gee, two hundred thousand
• 27:18
  dollars, that's enough to last for a lifetime. But it's probably hot money,
• 27:22
  honey. Did it keep me warm? For sure? Besides, think
• 27:26
  of all the taxes. Yes, that takes the door out of my dreams,
• 27:32
  back to being your secretary with no salary. At least they'd have paid
• 27:36
  me at the cash Bar. It was a nice place. They run it
• 27:40
  in style, but it's not as good as this place in Tuluth. They
• 27:44
  tell me a club called the Arabian Nights. They say it super. Yeah,
• 27:49
  Hey, what was that? What's the matter? Did I say something?
• 27:53
  Did you ever? What was that about? A place in Tuluth?
• 27:56
  They say it's better than the cass Bar. That's all right, of course,
• 28:00
  it's a natural. Mayla said it'd take him forty eight hours to get
• 28:04
  her up here. If she's working at his Tulouth joined, he'd need time
• 28:07
  to replace her. Daisy, don't yell like that, you startle me.
• 28:12
  Look, get on the phone, find out when the next plane leads for
• 28:15
  Tulouth. Book two seats, then get back to your apartment, changing pack.
• 28:18
  I'll do the same. Then we go looking for some quiet hotel just
• 28:22
  to keep out of Maila's wagele. The plane goes. Now go to it,
• 28:23
  honey. While I waited for Daisy to come back, I did one
• 28:33
  more thing. I called Diane croughtter Buck at the Astoria and told her about
• 28:37
  my hunch that the sister she was looking for was that Maila's night spot in
• 28:41
  Tulouth. I promised to call a long distance if my hunch paid off.
• 28:49
  Next evening, Daisy and I were sitting at a table in the Arabian Nights
• 28:52
  in Tulouth. They were right about this place being better than the caspar Yeah,
• 29:00
  that's our first straight floor show. Joe, con keep that wolf and
• 29:03
  his kennel. I'm the girl. You should be concentrating on those underdressed stains
• 29:08
  on the floor, but they really serve them, especially that black head babe.
• 29:14
  She can dance too. It's not her dancing you're interested in. Well
• 29:18
  that too. I thought you said this. Helen Dusburg would be doing her
• 29:23
  act here. She hasn't come on so far, and the floor shows nearly
• 29:26
  finished. I've been worrying about that too, Calm the great detective. Has
• 29:32
  it occurred to you he might have made the trip for nothing. Oh,
• 29:33
  not for nothing, Nanny, just to catch those cuties. There's worth plenty
• 29:37
  they're finishing. Thank goodness. There that raven haired beauty you were feasting your
• 29:56
  eyes honest? Taking her bow? Well, i'll be black haired. It's
• 30:00
  a wig. She's taken it off. She's a blonde. She's not only
• 30:06
  a blonde, she is also Helenduisburg. Yeah, we found her, Daisy.
• 30:11
  You stay here, honey. Where are you going to say hello to
• 30:12
  Helen? Keep a can in the window for me. This is Newsburg who.
• 30:26
  I'm Joe Kern, a private detective. It probably doesn't mean anything to
• 30:30
  you, but your sister Diane hired me to find you for her. My
• 30:34
  sister Dian, that's right. I might also tell you that I found out
• 30:37
  where car left the silver box. What he left it with Kaplin. He
• 30:42
  wrote you a note with it said that was the safest way. How do
• 30:47
  you know? This isn't a long story, but I've got the silver box.
• 30:51
  I was bargaining it against you with Mailer. The question is, now,
• 30:55
  what do you want to do about it. I'm afraid it's a little
• 30:56
  late for missus Jewsburg to decide that Cortes plus a gun, mister con plus
• 31:04
  a gun, welcome back. Well, this one is setting up for a
• 31:22
  really good conclusion and I definitely expect to see some action. Of course,
• 31:30
  next week will be the last of our Carter Brown mysteries for a while,
• 31:37
  as we don't have any more of these serials available, And the week after
• 31:42

• 31:48
  have here comes McBride on Wednesday. But in two weeks you want to be

  sure and listen for or in three weeks, excuse me, you want to
