  I've got to have to go out for a while, Miss Bardon,
• 9:07

• 9:26
  Donny. Better than nothing, were too, mister Templar. I want to
• 9:41
  go see kid Fischell. Louis well a guy that's fighting columns tonight. Yes,
• 9:46
  I wasn't at all satisfied yesterday that Joe Collins didn't have something to tell
• 9:50
  me. Something going on there, mister Temple, You've got, Donnie.
• 9:54
  How many mysteries can you handle it? One time? Sometimes one and one
• 9:58
  can be added together to yeah one, Louis, what does that mean?
• 10:01
  Just a hunch as yeah. Oh, I thought they came out with a
• 10:05
  new multiplication table. I ain't even learned the old one yet. Well,
• 10:11
  shall we be off, mister Templar. There is an obvious answer to that,
• 10:13
  Louis, which I shall spare you. Let us by all means be
• 10:18
  all. Yes. My name is Tempa Simon Temper. They told me down
• 10:33
  at the desk. This was kid Fichelle. Sweet it is, come in.
• 10:39
  Make it to school, miss Templar. The kids sparring papers. All
• 10:43
  right, yeam, how do you do? My name is Alexander. It's
• 10:48
  Alexander. You manage kid Fischelle. I look after him very well too,
• 10:52
  frankly, the best, Miss Alexander. Can I see the kid, mister
• 10:56
  Alexander? Unfortunately right now he's sleeping. Were round the way in for the
• 11:01
  fight in an hour. Well, then perhaps I can talk to you about
• 11:03
  the fighter. It would be a pleasure. I can discuss the kid for
• 11:07
  the hour and never tire. I'm quite fond of him, moucie. It's
• 11:11
  a perfect young machine, strong, healthy, and he wants the championship.
• 11:18
  He shall have it. Nothing can stop him, and he sounds quite confident.
• 11:24
  I am if I didn't think he could win. I wouldn't send him
• 11:28
  into the ring tonight. I wouldn't take a chance on his being hurt.
• 11:31
  I won't have him hurt. You understand. Don't worry, mister Alexander.
• 11:35
  He ain't gonna get hurt. Yes, you see, mister Temper, I
• 11:39
  can become quite emotional over the kids. Usually, I'm not an emotional man,
• 11:46
  I see. And does Joe Collins know that the kid is not to
• 11:50
  be hurt. He knows you're telling me that the fight is fixed. Hey,
• 11:54
  watch your mout I'm not telling you anything, mister Templar. But whoever
• 12:01
  you are, whomever you represent, remember this. The kid wants the championship
• 12:07
  and he shall have it because I find pleasure in giving the kid what he
• 12:11
  wants. And if anything or anyone stands in my way, no, mister
• 12:18
  Templar, h I refuse to be worried by you. The kid will not
• 12:22
  be hurt. Good day, mister Alexander said, Good day, chum.
• 12:28
  Thank you for interpreting Frankie and Miss Alexander. My money is still right down
• 12:33
  Joe Collins. In that case, mister Templar, I hope you can spare
• 12:37
  it. Good day, sol Sam, mister Templar. Mister Templar, been
• 12:48
  looking for you. What is it doing? I'd called your house to check
• 12:52
  if everything was all right like you told me, and Miss Barton said,
• 12:54
  Sam Chadwick have been calling. Wants you to call right away. Hey,
• 12:58
  there's Joe Collins, his manager doing wonder what he wants. I don't know,
• 13:01
  but it's supposed to be urgent. Here's the number, and there's a
• 13:03
  phone bull out here with the elevator and thank you doing hello, mister chandering.
• 13:15
  Yeah, you know who's this? Simon Templar, mister Chandry. Oh,
• 13:18
  mister Temple here. I've been trying to get you up and trying to
• 13:20
  get everybody that Joe knows. The champ is gone, gone, gone where
• 13:24
  I don't know. There's fifty thousand already in the box office for the fight
• 13:26
  tonight. He walks out. He can't do it. You mean we can't
• 13:31
  do this. We'll in on a tool, let's give it. Have you
• 13:33
  got any idea where Joe went to? I think he went out to get
• 13:35
  blind. The guy must be crazy. I'll find him, will you.
• 13:39
  Mister Temple A gut to and I'll do what I can. I'll pay or
• 13:43
  pay anything anything with the reason that is, the fight has to go on.
• 13:46
  Well, I'll do what I can. This is one fight I wouldn't
• 13:50
  like to miss. This must be about the last bar in town, mister
• 14:09
  Templary. I ain't hit so many bosses tonight. My nephew went into the
• 14:11
  Navy. And if you don't have any luck here, I'm about ready to
• 14:16
  give up. Louis, come on, let's give it a try. You
• 14:22
  see him? No, yeah, yeah, I do. Down at the
• 14:26
  end of the bar. She looks sober. I don't know you wait here,
• 14:30
  Lily. Hello, Joe? Oh, hello, Saint? What brings
• 14:37
  you here? Looking for you? Chant? You've been drowning your troubles.
• 14:41
  No, I started too, But no, I'd forgotten I was champion,
• 14:46
  and when you're champ as a pride that goes with it. I'd forgotten I
• 14:50
  had that pride. Cantie, tell me what's wrong, Joe, I'll tell
• 14:54
  you. Sure. Maybe I should have told you yesterday, but things got
• 14:58
  very bad after I I phoned you. How bad. I can't win this
• 15:03
  fight tonight, Saint. You can't beat kid the shell. I can't try
• 15:07
  to beat him. They won't let me. They got my son huh,
• 15:11
  who's there, Joe Alexander. I guess he had somebody do it. I
• 15:16
  knew he was a little crazy, but I didn't think he was that crazy.
• 15:20
  I guess Marie was in on it too. Marie, that isn't your
• 15:24
  wife was my wife. She left me right after the kid was born two
• 15:28
  years ago. She's no good And if you don't let the shell win tonight.
• 15:33
  Yeah, it's nice, isn't it. What can I do? Saint
• 15:37
  Joe? What's the name of your son? Don Donnie? Come on?
• 15:43
  What for? I'll explain in the cab, Joe. We've got to get
• 15:46
  to my place right away. This way, Joe, right behind your saint
• 16:03
  front dorsal Donny, Donny boy, are you here? Donny? Wait a
• 16:11
  minute, Joe. What hadn't that couch? That's miss Boughton. Oh no,
• 16:15
  Marie, Lorie, Yeah, Donny's mother. Let me Joe's wife,
• 16:22
  Marie shirt pat, I don't know it here. Let me help you,
• 16:27
  Joe. I'm afraid, no, Marie, can you hear me? Joey,
• 16:37
  I didn't know what they were doing. Yesterday. I got Donnie and
• 16:42
  let him hear where I'd be safe. This morning, I took the place
• 16:48
  of a girl. I was sent over as a nurse. But I guess
• 16:52
  they followed. Who did Alexander him? He said somebody. They took Donnie.
• 17:00
  I tried to stop them, but they Where did they take him?
• 17:03
  Do you know? I think the training camp on the river right above me
• 17:07
  over, I know the one, Joey. Yes, it isn't Donnie.
• 17:14
  The most beautiful boy ever saw Murray. I know this is what all mothers
• 17:21
  say, But isn't he really? He is? Joy? What he gets
• 17:27
  old enough when you just tell him, Just tell him that his mother loved
• 17:33
  him very much. Just that, not all the rest, just that,
• 17:37
  Marie. Thanks, Joy, you're Murrie. I'm sorry, Joe. She
• 17:49
  gave her life for Donnie. Yes she did. Now we've got to find
• 17:53
  him. I'll find him. And if they've done anything, and no,
• 17:57
  Joe, if you do find him, they might well, but I'll go
• 18:03
  after him. I'll go along, mister Templar. I don't like the guys
• 18:07
  that did this. Thanks Louis. You better go down to the arena,
• 18:11
  Joe, and we'll let you know as soon as we can. All right.
• 18:15
  I guess it wouldn't be much use in finding Donnie. I'd probably put
• 18:18
  him in more danger. Joe, do you want me to No, No,
• 18:25
  I'll look after Marie. She was my wife. This looks like the
• 18:41
  place, all right, mister templar. I want to look through the window.
• 18:45
  Who light is? All right? Louis? Come on, sorry,
• 18:53
  will keep down, Lily. I'm gonna take a look. Why don't you
• 19:00
  see this? Is it down? He's in there and that pug Frankie that
• 19:04
  I met with Alexander. You think we can take him? I think so.
• 19:07
  He's listening to the radio. Come on, let's see if we can
• 19:11
  get in the back way if you say so, mister Temple commander. We
• 19:15
  got that tire, and not only have I got it, I love it
• 19:19
  like your brother. Good he's the kitchen door, said Olton. Yeah,
• 19:25
  well in Luck, come on in, Louis. Why we're watching the introduction
• 19:30
  of various celebrities by the ring announcer before the Colins visual title go not the
• 19:36
  moody, clever, young welderweight from Syracuse has just been introduced from the ring,
• 19:40
  gets a nice hand and now they're goes uh, I spire That guy
• 19:45
  two months in the night used to win a title line playing nurse maid.
• 19:49
  What are you laughing? About it. Shut up, Louie, and I
• 19:56
  try to get him out here in the kitchen. Why didn't I do?
• 19:57
  Just get him out of here, mister templar, I'll take it from there.
• 20:00
  Here goes hi, Frankie. Who's that? You've got company? Who's
• 20:06
  in there? Little boy? Blue white guy? Are ye? Well?
• 20:10
  You end up so full of hose? Did you look like it? Bulldye?
• 20:15
  Louis, that was from a ray, mister Temple. To keep him
• 20:18
  quiet until the police get here. I should give him another one for my
• 20:21
  show. I know how you feel, Louis, but no, let's get
• 20:22
  Donny and get out of here. Sure, mister Temple, how are you?
• 20:26
  Donny? Say hi to your uncle? Lui? Donny? Don can't
• 20:33
  you say Hi? Hi? Hi? All about that, mister Temple?
• 20:38
  Now I can say the words you have away with you, Louis. And
• 20:42
  why do you say uncle Loue? Donny? Hi? That's it? And
• 20:47
  what's your name? Donnyhi? Louis? You should have given up while you
• 20:52
  were ahead. Come on, hey, hey, you can't go in that.
• 21:06
  That's a Champs resting room. Nobody allowed in. Fight's not over?
• 21:08
  Is it not yet? Six round? But Collins has taking an awful patient.
• 21:11
  I was just up there the kid. Get this straight. There is
• 21:14
  much time. Go up to Joe Collins' corner. Tell him, Simon Templar
• 21:18
  has Donnie here's faith? Have you got that? Sure? But I can't
• 21:21
  go up there and here? Does this persuade you? Yes, sir,
• 21:23
  mister Temple, thank you. I'll tell him right away. Okay, right,
• 21:27
  that's going and sit down, Louis. Donnie's about all in here.
• 21:30
  Look at him. He can't keep his eyes hopefully. Why couldn't we go
• 21:34
  right at to Joe's corner? Our Schols mister couldn't risk it with Donnie.
• 21:37
  I couldn't tell what Alexander might do. Yeah, sure, poor jove.
• 21:44
  Do you think we've got here in time? I don't know, Louis,
• 21:45
  I don't know. I must be taken up beating and can't fight back,
• 21:49
  but he can now he's got anything left to fight with. Quiet up there?
• 21:55
  Now must be the end of a round. He's a crowd noise.
• 21:59
  I never heard it from down here. You know what scares you? Said,
• 22:03
  Louis, The voice of the mob howling for blood, same voice that
• 22:07
  howled in the Colosseum at Room two thousand years ago. For whose blood the
• 22:11
  champs are for? Shells? Mob doesn't care, Louis, just blood.
• 22:15
  Yeah, scares you? What makes people go to these things, mister Temple?
• 22:19
  Will they ever stop? Now? They go because this is an allegory
• 22:23
  of their own lives, Louis, They'll stop when their lives seems to be
• 22:29
  conflict and pain? And when will that be? That's a good question.
• 22:34
  Hey, right, starting up again? It means the champ is still on
• 22:37
  the sphere anyway. Come on, Joey Boyd, come on to he Is
• 22:44
  it wrong to root, mister Temple. We're all part of the crowd,
• 22:47
  Louis, one way or another. Yeah, something is happening up there,
• 22:51
  and don't you'll like that for nothing? Come on, come on, Joey,
• 22:53
  come on, Joey, do what you can do with Joey. Donnie's
• 22:56
  down here. You can fight now, Joey, the airpul of that tire
• 23:00
  iron lord, sure show. I'm sorry the straight left chim come on,
• 23:04
  a straight left in the face Joe did and crossed with the right. What
• 23:10
  am I talking about? I can't even see him, Joe Come on?
• 23:12
  Yeah you too, mister Temple, Yeah, me too, Louis. We
• 23:19
  happened, mister templar. That was too short for a round. It was
• 23:22
  a knockout. It was Louis. But who yeah, yeah, who keep
• 23:27
  everything cross, mister templar, fingers toes, eyes everything. Maybe he didn't
• 23:32
  get our message, Lewis the templar. Don't say that now. It sounds
• 23:37
  like people coming out of her. But Joey couldn't know one. I had
• 23:40
  too much taken out of him. He couldn't have come back and let everybody
• 23:48
  out of here, will you? Yeah, everybody, I'll give us a
• 23:52
  check and get off bright when all our champ. Hey, that was a
• 24:02
  great fight. I thought it was even better than the one we put in
• 24:03
  his baby base. Oh boy, am I proud of us? Joe?
• 24:07
  Thanks Sam? Where you can excuse me now? I got some go to
• 24:11
  collect Danny. Danny, come on now, wake up and say hello to
• 24:18
  your daddy. No, I'll let him sleep, Saint. I'm not very
• 24:22
  pretty right now. You should see the show you club at him? Champed
• 24:26
  good. He was a very surprised young man. Yeah. How about Alexander,
• 24:30
  I don't know. I didn't see him. After it was over,
• 24:33
  he rushed right down here, and I'd better get the police on his trail.
• 24:36
  He might be able to get away if I don't tell them to.
• 24:40
  Alexander, do you think you could get away with it? And Joe?
• 24:48
  Did you think I'd stand by and see you? That gun must be heavy,
• 24:51
  mister Alexander, you better put it down. No, the police won't
• 24:56
  like your negative attitude. What do I care? After what he did to
• 25:00
  the kid? Do you think I care any more about any The kid will
• 25:04
  be all right. He was just knocked out, just just that beautiful physical
• 25:11
  machine, blooded bad stretched out in the dirt. Oh, you hate the
• 25:19
  kid? Can never feel the same again. Do you think I can ever
• 25:22
  feel about him as I did? He had the championship, had it before?
• 25:30
  Collins? Double cross us. That's one way of looking at it.
• 25:33
  Why didn't you keep out, mister Templar? Why put the gun away?
• 25:38
  Alexander? You haven't a chance. Maybe I haven't, but neither have you.
• 25:42
  Collins. I want you not to hurt the kid, but you wouldn't
• 25:48
  listen. You're a sick man. Perhaps I am, Perhaps the world is
• 25:52
  sick and I'm well, But I know what I'm going to do. You
• 25:57
  first, Collins, you know how the kid felt. Mister Alexander, I'm
• 26:03
  afraid you'll have to take care of me. Stop where you are, Templar.
• 26:07
  Don't come any closer. I warn you once more, Templar, and
• 26:11
  then I'm going right, Louis, nice week, Lucky I kept this tire
• 26:18
  eyem here. You know, I think he was serious. I don't think
• 26:21
  there's much doubt about it. A very twisted man, mister Alexander. Look,
• 26:27
  Johnny's awake. You got a smile for your old man, Donnyhi,
• 26:33
  Hey, he knows a new word. How about that saying? That's some
• 26:37
  kid? He's another champ, Joe. I'll be a champion, something not
• 26:41
  in this racket, but something good, something you can take a real pride
• 26:45
  in. He'll be proud of you, Joe. I'd be proud of his
• 26:48
  mother too, after I tell him about her. Just a minute him,
• 27:08
  mister Templar, Wow, look her there, Hi, Donny Champ. Let
• 27:12
  me take him out for a walk. Hey, you know what, mister
• 27:15
  Templar, I've been teaching him all sorts of words, honestly, leing the
• 27:21
  smartest kid there is. Watch this, Temple. Watch Donny, what's my
• 27:26
  name? How about that? A smart kid? That's not all? Now?
• 27:32
  Watch this, Donny, what's mister Temple's name? Something go wrong?
• 27:37
  And know Wait just a minute, Wait a minute, Donny, mister Temples's
• 27:41
  namely all right? Something else, Donny? Where do you live? Donny?
• 27:49
  What's your daddy's name? No, Dolly, good bye, mister Temple.
• 27:56
  Goodbye, Louis. Louis, you have been listening to another transcribed adventure
• 28:15
  of the Saint, the robin Hood of modern crime. Now here is our
• 28:18
  starve and some price. Ladies and gentlemen. There are certain things in our
• 28:22
  daily life which we take for granted. Only when we are deprived of them
• 28:27
  do we realize what precious commodities they really are. Air may become the most
• 28:33
  vital thing in the world of the suffocating man, and water to the thirsty
• 28:37
  one. In the same way, freedom, when it is missed, suddenly
• 28:41
  becomes life's greatest treasure. In this country, we possess freedom. It is
• 28:47
  part of us. It is our American heritage. This liberty, which we
• 28:52
  so casually accept, was created and nurtured. It didn't just materialize, and
• 28:59
  so Americans are justly proud of their heritage, and much of the world around
• 29:03
  us is fascinated by it. If we are to justify our own pride and
• 29:08
  the yearnings of those in other countries. We must make this freedom a personal
• 29:14
  thing. We must take it as it was handed to us and preserve it.
• 29:19
  Preserve it with conscious effort. That is our job as Americans, as
• 29:25
  free men. For freedom is everybody's job. This is Vincent Price inviting you
• 29:32
  to join us again next week at the same time for another exciting adventure of
• 29:37
  the Saint. Good Night. This Adventure of the Saint was written by Dick
• 29:57
  Pong as you heard, Larry Dobkin as Lowie and Mary Shipp as Marie.
• 30:03
  Sheldon Leonard played Sam and Bonnie Phillips. Joe Donnie was Jerry Hausner, and
• 30:07
  Victor Rodman Alexander frank Gerstill was Frankie. The Saint, based on characters created
• 30:11
  by Leslie Charteris, is a James L. Safier production and is directed by
• 30:15
  Helen Mack. Vincent Price is soon to be seen co starring with Errol Flynn
• 30:19
  and Michael lin Prell in William Marshall's production of Bloodline. All you Saint fans
• 30:23
  will be glad to know that the Saint comic books are now on all news
• 30:26
  stands. You're an answer Don Stanley, Three Chimes mean good Times on NBC.
• 30:30
  Who's on The Big Show Tonight? Listen Bob Hope, Dean Martin and
• 30:34
  Jerry Lewis, roslind Russell, Frankie Lane, Dorothy McGuire, Louis Armstrong,
• 30:37
  Meredith Wilson and Glamorous Unpredictable Tallulah No Wonder. It's the Big Show and Sunday
• 30:44
  evening also means another outstanding production by Theater Guild On the air Tonight, It's
• 30:48
  Boomerang starring Kirk Douglas. Remember Bob Hope and Martin and Lewis joined The Big
• 30:52
  Show today on NBC Welcome Back. We listen to a lot of just very
• 31:07
  fun detective stories throughout the year, but then there are those episodes that really
• 31:14
  just are cut above, and this one is one of them. There's just
• 31:18
  so much going on here, even though the plot of the baby and the
• 31:22
  boxer end up being related. It's really rare for a half hour detective show
• 31:29
  in this era and the same in particular, to have two plots essentially,
• 31:33
  and if they do turn out to be related, that may be one of
• 31:37
  the reasons why the mysteries turn out to be so strong. Because they are
• 31:41
  not weighed down by a bunch of subplots. But here it actually works beautifully,
• 31:47
  and there's some wonderful characterization in this story. Mister Alexander just a fantastic
• 31:53
  deranged villain, and great work here by the regulars. I loved Louis and
• 31:59
  this there's just a very subtle change in the character after Marie's death. And
• 32:06
  then you had Simon's thought at the boxing arena, which was interesting because the
• 32:12
  Saint particularly, I think there have been some radio programs where he's been at
• 32:15
  a boxing arena, so it's an interesting little monologue. And of course some
• 32:22
  nice funny moments really worked into the story as well, and overall it just
• 32:29
  was really a fascinating episode, and one of these shows is really good.
• 32:35
  This episode in particular, it almost feels like you got an hour's worth of
• 32:39
  entertainment out of a half hour show, if that makes any sense. That's
• 32:44
  how much I enjoyed it, so I hope you locked it as well.
• 32:46
  Jerry house Knows The Baby was pretty good. I thought it was real at
• 32:51
  first, but there were a few things that was a little off, but
• 32:52
  it was cute and countered the heavy moments in the story. Well onto some
• 32:58
  listener comments and feedback comments regarding the episode Marvin Hickerson Private Eye. Lonie Laurie
• 33:06
  says, this one really reminded me of a richer Diamond series and it was
• 33:09
  interesting to hear that it was written by Dick Powell. I like a little
• 33:14
  humor every so often. Well, this is one of those confusing radio things,
• 33:17
  but it's a different Dick Powell. But you're right about the way the
• 33:22
  script feels. It does have a lighter feel to it. The Dick Powell
• 33:27
  in question was a writer, and he not only wrote some of the lighter
• 33:30
  detective stories, but he also wrote several episodes of the Life of Riley,
• 33:36
  which is one of my favorite old time radio comedy shows. Andrews says,
• 33:44
  one of my all time favorite appstors. Absolutely love this show and I agree.
• 33:49
  I think you also saw you do hear in this a real range from
• 33:55
  Vincent Price, even within the heroic role. Definitely showing some more dramatic chops
• 34:05
  in this episode than in some of the previous ones. And Terry says,
• 34:10
  great show. Enjoy the Saint very much. Well, thanks so much.
• 34:15
  This episode was actually late showing up on the feed, but it was up
• 34:20
  on the website on Monday. It was just a technical error. My part
• 34:24
  did not get out on the main podcast feed. So if you ever go
• 34:30
  on your iPod and you show in episodes not there Monday through Saturday and it
• 34:35
  should be be sure and check the website because it may be at Great Detectives
• 34:39
  dot net and you can download off that site. Actually, if you've got
• 34:45
  a mobile device and you have Internet on it or a website there should be
• 34:49
  mobile friendly with the WP touch plugain we run. But sorry about that for
• 34:53
  those of you who got it episode a couple weeks late, but that was
• 34:58
  a good episode. This one was good, though, I think an entirely
• 35:00
  different way. All right, Well, we will be back tomorrow with the
• 35:07
  last episode of Man from Homicide and coming next week. Be sure and listen
• 35:12
  next Tuesday for the return of the lineup. In the meantime, send your
