• 6:15
  Chintz curtains, fresh upholstery, and Beverly Hills oriental knick knacks cluttering the Grand
• 6:20
  Rapids High Boy. There was a big overstuffed chair near the door that I
• 6:25
  remembered, and Phil climbed into it and put his chin in his hands to
• 6:28
  watch. I walked over to the three piece sectional. Toby Drake was lying
• 6:34
  there, her hand trailing down on the floor. I couldn't see her face
• 6:39
  until the big man stood up. Somebody wrapped that black silk stocking too tight
• 6:42
  around her neck? You know her, Mike, Yeah, I knew her.
• 6:45
  When she looked better, I liked it. She laughed at my jokes.
• 6:48
  You wrapped the stocking. You only asked because you're a cop, Hunt
• 6:53
  Cooska. I only asked because if I were a cop, I had asked.
• 6:56
  Nicole came and said, good hire, because it was a dead girl
• 6:59
  named Toby Dren On the way down. I toyed with the name. Then
• 7:01
  I remembered she used to laugh at George jokes, and all of a suddenly
• 7:04
  you're here. Why ask him? What is it? Something they have around
• 7:10
  town? An agent? He's Toby's he's an agent. I got a look,

  Felsey? A couple of weeks ago ago, come in my office,

  Stella Martin, please that I should put her on my clients list only no
• 13:50
  policy, you know what I mean? The soother two things face. I
• 13:54
  took her home. It's all the way to West chest I've never been to
• 13:56
  West Chess and make it come true, hard Felsy. It was just nine
• 14:03
  o'clock when Agent Phil let me off in front of a redwood frame house in
• 14:05
  Westchester. Then he suddenly remembered he had to pick up a client at the
• 14:09
  airport, and speedy Ville gardener game to the corps, went back into the
• 14:13
  tracic again. The walk up of the house was lined with rose pries carefully
• 14:18
  tended, and on every fourth one there was a road, but there was
• 14:22
  only one doorbell, so I knew just what to do. You wound up
• 14:31
  Stella Martin. Did she live here? Go who? Mike McCoy investigations.
• 14:37
  You've got a cud, says that, let's go inside. Asked you gotta
• 14:41
  cud, just show mismus Martin here, no cud. If they say,
• 14:45
  yeah, she's here, then what happened? I said? Inside? Now
• 14:48
  where is she? I'm glad you pushed me. Now I got a reason
• 14:52
  why. No. When I opened my eyes, the guy was still.
• 15:00
  Are all seven feet on them? Ain't gonna take each other, ain't gonna
• 15:03
  take me? This time? I played at brainy. I peeped first it
• 15:11
  was gone. I got to my feet. I cut to my feet,
• 15:15
  fell down, and finally made it over to the hallway where there should have
• 15:18
  been a bathroom and a towel and some water. The thing that stopped me
• 15:22
  was the girl in the Negligee. He was sitting on the floor against the
• 15:26
  wall. She was blonde and her head was turned to one side, as
• 15:30
  though she was wondering about me. There was a stocking tied around her throat,
• 15:35
  and she was dead. And I'll back to the McCoy starring Howard duff
• 16:06
  I didn't know whether I'd been out for a few minutes or a few days.
• 16:10
  I decided on the minutes, because the girl's body was still warm and
• 16:12
  death hadn't taken charge long enough to wipe the pudding us out of her face.
• 16:18
  I'd seen her a couple of times long ago, and the jungle pictures
• 16:21
  spliced between the main feature and the newsrail. The girl in the fatis who
• 16:25
  gets chased by the lion Stella Martin. I stopped trying to convince myself it
• 16:30
  wasn't real. It was real, all right, and I didn't need the
• 16:33
  pounding on the door to knock it into my head. I didn't need Cosca
• 16:37
  either, but I had him. What is this, Mike? You on
• 16:41
  a rampage? You want to know what happened? Or you want to be
• 16:44
  a big man. Just be gentle with me. That's all I want you
• 16:47
  to do, Mike, fifteen minutes ago is in a warm bed. Just
• 16:49
  be gentle. I got slugged a man seven feet tall in a black leather
• 16:53
  jacket. Look, Mike. I spent five hours questioning Roy Fulton about the
• 17:00
  murder of his girlfriend Toby Nothing. He quoted poetry, and I climbed into
• 17:04
  this warm bed and I was sleeping fine, and Sergeant Heard called it seems
• 17:08
  someone phoned in this head this to Sergeant heard. You were saying, what,
• 17:14
  Mike, she's in the hallway, prompted up against the wall. Yes
• 17:22
  she is. She's young, and she's strangled, and her name's Stella Martin.
• 17:26
  You want to clear it up for me. You want to listen about
• 17:27
  a guy in a black leather jacket, seven feet tall, yeah, seven
• 17:32
  feet tall. Find him that shouldn't be tough for a shot fellow like you.
• 17:34
  Now, don't be sour on me, Mike. You took some lumps
• 17:37
  in m You see this kid, what this holding something in her hand?
• 17:49
  Well now, well, well read it, Mike. Read what it says
• 17:55
  on the paper. That would be another one tomorrow, McCoy. I don't
• 17:57
  one tomorrow, McCoy. McCoy. Well, now, what makes me so
• 18:03
  popular, Cosca? Why doesn't it say your name? Why doesn't it say
• 18:06
  sergeant hurt? Because it says McCoy, Because it says the name of a
• 18:10
  guy I stumble over when I get out of a warm bed. Because you
• 18:12
  know things you're not telling me, and you're not gonna tell me because you
• 18:15
  think it's clever to obstruck justice. What am I going to do with you,
• 18:22
  Mike? Take you downtown and switch you what you be a hero because
• 18:26
  you won't tell me what you know. Get out of here, Mike,
• 18:32
  Get out and land in my room unless Pomase pulled the Murphy bed down,
• 18:42
  adjust the beaten frame of the broken spring, and lulla by yourself to sleep
• 18:47
  with? What makes two girls dead from a pair of silk stockings? What
• 18:51
  made Stella Martin and Toby Drake so close they had to hug death in the
• 18:53
  same way? And the next morning, Saturday, thrown out of sleep by
• 18:57
  the sign of the mocking birds framing the name of Phil Gardner, Agent I

• 23:56
  You mean you're give me for a date? What do we do to night,
• 24:00
  Peggy Pattiday nights I usually got ocean Park. It's fun, right,
• 24:07
  people fellas fun? Sure, it is Saturday night, ocean Park. We'll
• 24:14
  have fun. Then I made a lot of phone calls, so my call
• 24:21
  service to tell him I was going to Ocean Park with a girl named Peggy
• 24:23
  Bryan. They told me that Mabel was keeping her line open for me.
• 24:27
  I told them to tell him Abel to keep it open. Then I called
• 24:30
  agent Phil Gardner and let him know where I was going. Next, I
• 24:33
  got Costca on the phone. I didn't tell him anything. I asked him
• 24:37
  something, but no. Tall man in a black leather jacket was newly arrived
• 24:41
  in the poken. Finally, I called Roy Fulton, Kobe's boyfriend, the
• 24:45
  man who quoted poetry and let him know all about my plans for the evening,
• 24:48
  and then nothing daunted. I took Peggy Bryan by the arm, opened
• 24:52
  the door for her, and bowed her into my car with a flurry.
• 25:02
  I oh, some blank. I bought her out at least I could,
• 25:04
  though it was to make it gay for her, after all, she was
• 25:07
  my personal pigeon. Let's just walk a while night. Whatever you say,
• 25:22
  you're hungry, Peggy, huh, that's going to roller coaster? Sure,
• 25:27
  Peggy, just stand still for a moment. Look around you see anybody in
• 25:33
  them? No, Maria, that's gone the roller coaster right like it high?
• 26:00
  Sure it is? Sure? I want to eat now. I always
• 26:03
  have pride from when I come to Ocean Park. Yeah, me too.
• 26:11
  I know what you're doing, my sure you though I'm on a Saturday night
• 26:15
  date with a nice girl. I think you'll find me here. Money.
• 26:18
  Do you want me to level? Don't you? Is you're going to kill
• 26:22
  me? Not while I'm here. Come on, let's see Gon take his
• 26:38
  place, Let's go. Thank you stay close to me. A girl can
• 26:48
  get lost and find her. A girl can get lost, pallion Mike,
• 26:53
  Oh my, what's the matter, honey, I'm having such a good time.
• 26:57
  Have you ever been for that spending barrel? I always falled out.
• 27:00
  I hold your hands, Mike, what man man over there? Watch the
• 27:07
  fire ticket? Which man the taller, one wing black leather jacket? Yeah,
• 27:12
  Sam, Peggy walked through that spinning barrel. Fall down if you have
• 27:15
  to, But get right up and get on on the other side. Go
• 27:18
  on, I'm right in back of it. Get out of this thing,
• 27:22
  cramp. I'm staying. I've been telling you. I've been waiting. Get
• 27:34
  out of, Get out of all right? Not park Parker, say help
• 27:38
  me. You're crazy, Stark. You think I killed us. I couldn't
• 27:44
  kill so she was sad when I got there where she said, yeah,
• 27:48
  yeah, sure she was, and you'll come in. I went crazy.
• 27:51
  I wanted to kill something to say even why are following me? Of course
• 27:55
  you're a Thomas. If you get to the killer, I want a pace
• 27:56
  of him. I didn't kill spell us. You've gotta believe you've got it,
• 28:06
  Peggy. What's the matter? He was in the mirror, all right?
• 28:12
  His reflection in the crazy rippled mirror of the front house. Roy Fulton's
• 28:17
  reflection long and thinned that he'd been squeezed together. This time there was no
• 28:22
  poetry, just a gun. I called Peggy down on the floor with the
• 28:27
  crop scattered, and there was nothing in Fulton's way. I was lucky.
• 28:38
  My shot got to him and he kept coming and it caught up with him,
• 28:44
  but he didn't fall. Fult, Why they excuse m Tessa? Me,
• 29:33
  m m M M homa is for it? Remember me? You wanted
• 29:45
  me for the talking pictures. Yeah, not Mike m oh, you're starting
• 29:51
  the paper. That's right, Roy Fulton. His wife had been killed in
• 29:55
  the automobile ACTIONNT me blamed those three girls for it. He was de my
• 30:00
  office. Rocket, baby, baby, miss Ford, what are you doing
• 30:04
  tonight? A ballet dancer instead of me? But a ballet dancer? This
• 30:12
  Ford, the Fords, no face, Hello Mabel. This is the McCoy.
• 30:40
  The McCoy, starring Howard Duff, is written, directed, and produced
• 30:44
  by David Friedkin and Morton Fine, with music composed and conducted by Walter Schumann.
• 30:59
  This has been an BC Hollywood Program Department presentation. Welcome back, Well
• 31:06
  this was a good program. David Freakin and more at Fine with Walter Schuman
• 31:12
  doing the music, Howard Duff as the star, and even Sheldon Leonard as
• 31:18
  the police officer well, which is definitely it's definitely a bit of a change.
• 31:27
  Usually plays a kind of a gangster on another on the other side of
• 31:33
  the law, but did well as the hard boiled police officer. Howard Duff
• 31:40
  in this role kind of a little bit different from his Sam Spade characterization.
• 31:48
  I thought the McCoy was, maybe I'm a little warmer, more sympathetic character
• 31:55
  in that regards Sam Spade, a lot more, could be a lot more
• 32:04
  ruthless, a little software in this one, and I think that that worked.
• 32:08
  The reason the program wasn't picked up was because of Duff's political problems at
• 32:15
  the time still not resolved, or to be several years until they were so
• 32:20
  that he would be accepted as an actor again. But he was still kind
• 32:24
  of on the outs of the point here with some rumors that turned out not
• 32:29
  to be correct of communist ties in the midst of the investigations of the fifties.
• 32:37
  This scramp would be reused on yours truly, Johnny Knoller on January sixteenth,
• 32:45
  nineteen fifty three. It would become the starlit matter which we applied for
• 32:49
  you. On November twenty five of two thousand and eleven, and this was
• 32:54
  in my mind one of the better, that was one of the better John
• 32:58
  Lynn episodes of Yours truly any dollar. But that said, I still don't
• 33:05
  think it was quite as good as the original audition for the McCoy with Howard
• 33:12
  Duff. So an interesting series that could have been quite entertaining. Well all
• 33:19
  right, well that will actually do it for today. We will be back
• 33:22
  tomorrow with Yours truly, Johnny Dowler. In the meanwhile, Sandra commins to
