2:53
They're less Valentine. Looks like I'm about to lose everything I've got because of
2:58
a stray of secum stances I can't control on the amusement zone on the Starlight
3:05
Piers. You've never heard of me, but you're probably reading the papers about
3:08
the accidents that have been happening down here the last couple of weeks. Somebody's
3:14
out to get me, mister Valentine, out to ruin my business. Maybe
3:19
you can find out and stop it. If you want to try, please
3:23
take a boat onto the Tunnel of Love this Friday afternoon at exactly one o'clock.
3:29
Sounds like a lot of paul to raw, but I'll explain when I
3:32
see it. Sign text matters. I don't like to dunking here for you.
3:51
I don't worry. I'm a very exemplary terrytor Ango the go and boil
3:57
with the eerie green light on him? How you've seen it before? I
4:00
never used to scare you. I know what I'm just killing. Try the
4:04
owner of an a movement parkshould want to meet you in this Tunnel of love
4:08
place instead of his author. Maybe just another way of drumming up trade.
4:12
Business does seem pretty slim today out there, But another boat going through are
4:15
going? Maybe it's some kind of a Yeah, I'm Valentine, your text
4:21
manager. That's right way to be a boat. I can't see it,
4:27
but I can't stop. Yeah, I got it. You're in the front
4:30
seat. Okay, I'll get the back find Yeah, yeah, I thought
4:39
I heard a woman's voice. You did, Miss Brooks my assistance. Oh
4:44
well, okay, wait, I'll let the boat drift along again. Mister
4:47
Manners, why did you want us to meet you here? Didn't want anybody
4:51
to know I've hired mister Valentine bigger. You can work about it if nobody
4:56
knows who you are. Yeah, well, just what do you want me
4:59
to do? Find out who was trying to sabotage my business? Like I
5:02
told you in my letter, you read about what's been going on, well,
5:05
yeah, I saw your first wheel broke down, God came off when
5:10
it was up high mighty close to killing somebody. And didn't something happen to
5:14
the roller coasts? Sure did. Fame was almost at the top of the
5:16
pull. Who broke loose, raced all the way back down. One lady
5:20
broke on. What makes you think it's sabotaged, mister Manners. Those things
5:25
do happen, don't they not with my equipment, never have any accidents.
5:29
And it both happened on a Friday, last two weeks. Still, I
5:32
won't be a coincidence. Couldn't be. I examined to give both times myself.
5:36
It had been tampered with by somebody who knows cannibal machinery. Will I
5:41
want to take your word for that. You will get somebody right here on
5:44
your own pier looks that way, So I can't understand it. All the
5:47
people who run my concessions, all right, No enemies are wrong on not
5:53
that I know of both of these accidents who happened on Friday, yes,
5:57
man, Not that I'm superstitious about Friday's young understand, but nobody wants to
6:01
ride the wheel of the rolly anymore. Another one or two of these things,
6:04
and nobody will come to the pit. Huh huh. Got any idea
6:09
of where I want to start on this job, mister Manners? That one
6:12
time, I haven't got a thing to help. He's come out of one
6:15

8:52
the Ferrest wheeler. What's his name, Joe Park? Yeah, that's it.
8:54
He tells me the same thing. I guess it's because of these accidents,
9:00
said, is people staying away like we had to play? That's too
9:03
bad. Just that thing in the tunnel I love yesterday won't help any either,
9:05

9:11

Ad on't know sor to like these places, the signs. I don't have
9:22

9:28

9:31
Oh? Just curiosity? Well, might come back and take a ride.
9:35
Later wheels. Yeah, do that, Madame dans are ten doll your tooth
9:46
jets an open book. You say your fortune. I'm sure that's a good
9:54
idea. I much for you. Twenty five thing. Yeah, I'll say
10:00
the worst. Ah, you said the worst. It's just a figureous speech
10:05
that had not What do you mean by that? I seem for your danger.
10:13
Danger in the name of the future in this place on starlight, fear,
10:18
but you may avoid the danger. Do not come here again, nor
10:24
eager will dissold you. Huh. Doesn't have anything to do with these accidents
10:30
out here that had that had no. Look, Madam Zelda, if you
10:33
can hear the future so well, why can't you predict what's going to happen
10:37
next? And tell the voice? It is not given to me propel day
10:41
yet my warnings to you. Do not come here again? Yeah, come
11:03
in, thanks, just want to see if it's Oh I'm sorry, I
11:07
didn't know you were busy, Valentine. What are you doing here? I
11:11
thought? I said, Oh, never mind, Day, this is Sanday,
11:16
my night watchman. Mister Valentine, come home. Oh you muster,
11:18
Valentine. That's all for now, Sandy. Just remember what I said.
11:22
No sleeping on the job, especially on Thursday night. I go a head,
11:24
mister miners who come back on me? You will please to know?
11:28
Yeah? Sure, say what did you come down for today? I just
11:33
wanted to talk to the people who ring your concessions. Oh who to see
11:37
Parker and Tunnel. I love Joe Parks the Ferris Wheel, and I saw
11:41
Wheels Kaye best bet so far. Why do you say that? Oh,
11:46
thanks are pretty suspicious. Try to find out what I was doing around here.
11:50
Sure that makes sense. I told Wheels I was getting somebody into work
11:54
on this thing. Naturally, he's going to suspect anybody who asks questions.
11:56
Oh and and also the fortune teller she warned me to stay away. Well,
12:03
you know, I had accidents of phony. She happens to be Wheels
12:05
McKay's wife. She would just praid you'd stick your neck out too far again?
12:11
Or maybe that is it. By the way, how come you just
12:13
talk to the people who had accidents on their rides? Why not try the
12:16
other Oh and I look texts. If this is an inside job and one
12:18
of your concession managers is doing it, wouldn't he have something happened to his
12:22
own ride? So he wouldn't be suspected, will could be. I see
12:26
what you mean, but I just don't happen to go along with you on
12:30
that. Maybe right will soon find out. Yeah, how so I'm going
12:33
to meet you here Thursday night after the peers closed. Maybe your night watchman
12:39
doesn't keep his eyes open, but I'm going so prayed you off on a
12:56
wild loose chase girl in time. By the way, that you're telling anybody
13:00
at all? And i'd been with hope nobody agree. Hey, where's the
13:05
watchman? What's his name? Sandy? Yeah, he's probably making his round
13:09
somewhere. I haven't seen him since we started down the pier. No or
13:11
anybody else for that man. Well, I told you probably they're not gonna
13:15
winsen. Then, Hey, wos from over there by the diving bell?
13:20
Yeah, get that back in the shot. Okay, sure, I can
13:26
see a figure over there now, but the tinker and with a power plant
13:31
for the bell. Come on, let's get open one all any minute we
13:33
won't eye will two of us will be spotted too easily? You back your
13:37
offer, Stanley Shadow, so they don't see it. How about you?
13:39
I'm going around on the other side of the bell and surprising. I'll get
13:43
back to you in a few minutes. Okay, but be careful, so
13:46
sure, sure, okay, bus there, what's the idea that's better?
13:56
Friends? Just stay where you are. This is one Thursday night party that
14:00
and come off on. I'll stand up. I'll wait a mind now you'll
14:03
look up. In just a moment, we'll return to tonight's adventure of George
14:26
Valentine. Which is the most important tire on your car? Right? The
14:31
oldest and smoothest tire is the most important because that's the one that will probably
14:35
cause trouble first. And that's one reason why it pays to have your tires
14:41
checked regularly by car savers at standard stations and independent Chevron gas stations. Car
14:48
savers are experts at making tires last longer. For instance, they recommend a
14:52
scientific pattern of tire switching every three to five thousand miles, and that includes
14:56
the spare two or it needs regular ser is to keep the rubber flexed and
15:01
lively. Car savers also check your tires for cuts and bruises to be sure
15:05
that they're safe and broad ready, and car savers don't overlook the importance of
15:09
keeping your tires properly inflated. They inspect them regularly to be sure that the
15:15
correct pressure is maintained. So if you want to be sure that all your
15:18
tires are in good shape, drive in soon for free tire inspection by the
15:22
car Savers at independent Chevern gas stations and standard stations, for tire switching at
15:28
regular intervals, for new tires. For any kind of tire service, you
15:33
can depend on car Savers. They'll help you get more and more miles out
15:37
of your present tires. And it's just one of the many services available to
15:41
Western motorists at independent Chevern gas stations and standard stations where they say and mean
15:48
we take better care of your car. Now back to tonight's adventure. George
16:11
Valentine. You're hired by Text Manners, the owner of an amusement zone called
16:17
Starlight Pier, to try and discover the reason behind accidents that have been happening
16:21
on his concessions. As a matter of fact, you've been involved in one
16:25
of them yourself, as usual on a Friday. But on Thursday night,
16:30
when you think you finally caught up with a sabataary, you find yourself not
16:33
thinking at all. Your name is George Valentine, you suddenly come back to
16:37
consciousness, flat on your back, decide the diving doll machinery with a voice
16:41
coming closer and closer. Oh what's going on? Oh? Try any funny
16:48
business? I've got your Oh you're that young fellow. It was in mister
16:52
Manner's office. Student day, Hi, name of Valentine. You'd be a
16:57
night watching the sandy. Let's say, what are you doing around here this
17:03
time? A night? Let that takes a bit of explaining. By the
17:07
way, where were you? If she wants to go, that takes a
17:11
bit of explaining too. Look here, man, what kind of talk is
17:14
that? I was down to the pier on the rounds. I heard the
17:17
noise back here? Are you wind right close by here at the time?
17:19
What are you trying to say? By that? I'd better turn you over
17:22
to mister Manners or the other way around. Give me that flash. I
17:26
will not ask you. Well something I want to look at it now?
17:29
Look here better? Yeah? Just what I thought? I saw? What
17:33
knuckles on your right hand? There? They seem to be bleeding. I
17:36
know I hurt my hand on the gate or on somebody's face. Somebody's face.
17:40
What are you talking? About mine. Maybe look mad, you know
17:44
something, I'll take you back to mister manners Off. Oh I saw something,
17:48
all right, man, and no no tricks. Now what are you
17:52
looking for? Nothing? Just thought whoever hit me left a calling card?
17:57
I was wrong you picked up? Oh no, I thought I saw a
18:00
piece of paper on the ground. Over there was just this wrench. No,
18:04
don't try anything. Actually, Nutch, you've got the gun. I've
18:07
only got a flashlight, and here take it. If you're worried. Come
18:11
on, let's get back to tex Mana's office so you can turn me in.
18:25
So that's the way it was, mister Mallins. I found this read
18:27
flat on his back beside the diamond bell. And he even tried to ach
18:32
Sandy. All right, mister Valentine's okay, you don't have to worry about
18:36
it. That's all I sir, very well. But if you need any
18:40
help just call. Yeah, all right, Sandy, But I won't Well,
18:45
Valentine, whoever it was so you're tinkering with the diamond bell got to
18:49
you first, quite neatly. Yes, it's left me for a little nap.
18:52
You couldn't see who it was. No, it's too dark. You
18:56
must have heard the voice. Didn't you say anything? Not a word jump
18:59
me, laid in one good sock to the button, and I was out
19:03
there. It's too bad. That's another statement. Incidentally, do you know
19:07
a cafe up the street called the Tropic Cannon Tropic cant Yeah, no,
19:11
can't say I do. Just might help us to clean up this case.
19:15
How that's what I got to find out. By the way, a week
19:18
from tomorrow morning, in case we haven't got to the bottom of this thing,
19:22
watch out for the shoot. The shoots might be bad. Hey son,
19:25
how do you know all is well? Maybe I had a vision while
19:26
I was knocked out. Take it easy, tex Si tomorrow, George Angel.
19:42
I'm not trying to body him. But you said we're going to a
19:45
cafe called the Traffic Canda. That is right. What would you mind telling
19:49
me what that has to do with mister man who's mis darlight here? Not
19:52
at all matter find I'll show you here what is papers right, But it's
19:57
only a listen. Sure, this is a list to ride to start pe

bell after I came to last coast arris wheel kind of of love, diving,
20:11
bell shoots, the shoot do for those are the rides that have had
20:15

20:18
it over. Oh it's torn off the top of the meeting and you from
20:25
the Tropic and a cafe, right, and here we are. I think
20:27
they'd know who made that list. No, probably not, but they know
20:32
who comes here from started here. Come on, let's go. You're gonna
20:41
come right out and ask them to do it? No, no, indeed,
20:42
some people are KG. I'm gonna buy the cafe. You're right,
20:47
that's right. The first I have to know what kind of trade they have,
20:51
supposing you're not willing to sell us. Always wanted to own a cafe.
20:53
Let's go in. Ohoh anybody here? Yes, okay, sorry folks,
21:03
Oh that's all right. I just wanted to see the owner. And
21:07
I'm the owner. Good good, How do you do? My name is

21:15
Well, I'll tell you, mister Fowler. I'm on the market to
21:18
buy a camp ay just like this one you're interested in selling. I don't
21:21

21:26
pretty fair? Well do you ought to get a pretty good play from Starlight
21:30
yourself? Close? Those people? They eat hot dogs and hamburgers on the
21:36
pure Oh no, no, I mean the people who worked there. Some
21:37
of them must eat here. Don't think and say I don't know about my
21:41
customers. Is the eating favorite? I don't know who they are. You
21:45
haven't owned the pike very long yourself, have you, mister Power? What
21:49
do you mean? Well? I just noticed the car outside of your business.
21:52
Yes, with Arkansaw license treate, So I thought, now, yeah,
21:56
that's right. I can mark and saw just a few months ago.
22:00
I'll figure the restaurant business is better. He was wearing a cafe there.
22:04
I had a Connie Carnival. Say that's interesting. Watch business dropped golf in
22:10
my walston had to start over again. Oh well that's too bad. Well,
22:14
I'm not interested in carnivals anyway. I got a little frank stand in
22:18
town called the Barking Dog, but I want to branch out. She drove
22:21
up here last night. I was going to stop in, but it was
22:22
after midnight. Didn't think the owner being you know, it was right here
22:26
all night and fortune the morning. Oh well, I think you'd be interested
22:30
in selling. Well, the monk was so like, oh say that's great.
22:34
Of course I couldn't swing the thing alone. I got a back ared
22:37
he'd have to see it first. Yeah, I understanding. But I'm sure
22:41
he'd liked this location as much as I do. Say, yeah, where's
22:45
that door in the back? Go to? That's small? Oh I see,
22:48
hey look like an idea. Oh wow, we're here. I'd like
22:52
to take a picture of the place to show Larry that's my back are Oh
22:56
that's a good idea. Yeah, you don't bind mister Foller, right ahead,
23:00
cool, okay, I got a flash camera in the car. You
23:02
and miss Brooks sit over there at that table, kind of dress up the
23:04
picture a little high a right. Yeah, well, now you get all
23:08
set and I'll bring in the camera. Believe me, this ought to sell
23:11

24:07
There's a few blocks from each other. It sort of added up. I'm
24:11
sorry it didn't work, Valentine. At least you're on the job. Try
24:15
again, will you. I'd better try again in fest they might just try
24:18
switching the order of these accidents and you'd have a mess up broken arms and
24:21
heads. You more, Valentine, and I'll be out of business. No,
24:23
Brooks, Yes, George, let's get back to the office. I
24:26

25:41

25:51

25:55
You'll see for yourself in just a minute. Sorry, And if I
25:57
am right, you better be ready to make a quick pinch. Just one
26:02
thing to do first. You gotta pry up the window to resolve so we
26:04
can hear what goes on inside. I told you I don't know the man
26:08
it owns this place. That's right, but maybe he knows you gotta be
26:14
a lover. You got any idea what time it is? Must be just
26:17
about eight. We were delayed. It doesn't matter, Sorge. You didn't
26:19
miss anything. Well, no, one just have to wait. You're sure
26:25
you know how to play Detective Valentine. If that was a nasty crack,
26:29
I'll disregard it, Serge. And he's coming in the door. Oh yeah,
26:33
okay, get your ears close to the window and listen. Don't make
26:36
any noise, come on, you know, yeah, okay, Now,
26:41
what's on your mind? We don't like your coming here. You know,
26:45
what do you mean, Matt? You sent for him? I sent for
26:48
you. Sure, I got the note just lift under the box office door
26:51
when I opened up the now away a minute. I didn't figure it with
26:53
something about breaking the shoes tomorrow night. I got it all set up,
26:57
match, just like you wanted, Hills. Yeah, I'm trying to tell
27:00
you I didn't leave no note for you. What do I know? One
27:07
thing for sure that Valentine's catching on and we got to play it fast and
27:10
safe from now on. Switch the days you erect the shoots in the real
27:14
y, sure man, and don't get caught two more accidents on the period.
27:18
We'll have text manners out of fissures. I still get half ventus when
27:22
you take over, right, they're playing games only we gotta play it small.
27:27
Come on, ask explains the text. Well, be sure it does
27:33
valent you got off from it might be arrest engine. Yeah, come on,
27:36
text, we'll go around and take about the front off. We sure
27:37
will come on around. Bella. Yeah, be right with you. That
27:41
note m that's right. How did you know he was the word? I
27:45
didn't you about it? Get those boys in custody, Brooks. Here's a
27:56
reminder for new car owners. You RPM motor oil exceed all the requirements of
28:03
car manufacturers who now recommend a heavy duty motor oil, and new RPM doubles
28:08
engine life the time between major overhauls due to lubrication. Yes, even a
28:12
cab company operating in the tough grind all cabs go through found new RPM reduced
28:18
engine ware seventy one. So for top protection for your engine, get new
28:23
RPM motor oil at any independent Chevern gas station or standard station where they say
28:30
and mean, we take better care of your car. But George, if
28:44
you didn't know it was school, McCain was wreaking the right straight show up.
28:48
I didn't know hood show up. I didn't take a chance. What
28:49
do you mean I left the same note at every concession. Yeah, I
28:53
just added up Arkansas and Arkansas and an accomplice on the pier. Then all
28:59
I had to do was wait for someone to show his hand. It just
29:02
happened to be Wheels when the snap fowler just wanted to put Text out of
29:04
business, though he could take over the pier. Oh, it was a
29:07
little more than that. Text didn't know it, but he'd put follows kind
29:10
of a lot of business. When he set up back in Arkansas, Wheels
29:12
told the sergeant, Oh, well, anywriter both off for jail, and
29:18
we've still got a hole in ahead of her. Now that's right, Angel,
29:21
I thought, I figured we go back to Starlight Pier. Oh,
29:23
that would be fun, right in the tunnel of Lave the Fellows wheel,
29:30
Oh, George. The Night's Adventure of George Valentine has been brought to you
29:51

Standard Stations throughout the West. Robert day He has starred as George, with
30:00

30:10

30:15
Sandy. Music was composed and presented by Eddie Dunsteader your announcer John Heuston.
30:27
Listen again next week, same time, same station, or let George do
30:33
It. Let George Do It, as heard overseas through the worldwide facilities of
30:41
the Armed Forces Radio Service. This is the mutual Don Lee Broadcasting System.
31:02
Welcome back. Seems like we've had a few carnivals show up in some recent
31:08
episodes, but a good descent solution here we do. Now turn to listener
31:15
comments and feedback. This one I got buried, so a little like getting
31:21
to it, but Carmen or Cameron emails in. I just thought i'd point
31:27
out a humorous coincidence on Let George Do It Episode seven sixty three, the
31:32
common denominator. When the carnival owner is identifying photos of people he did time
31:37
within seeing Quentin prisons, he identified one as Bill Gates. Guess that's the
31:41
reason they put disclaimers and shows now seeing the names and people, etc.
31:45
Are fictitious. Just thought listeners would like that one. Well, thanks so
31:49
much, Cameron. And they did that even in films back then, didn't
31:55
really do it on radio programs. It is interesting there are these times that
32:05
things happen where a name that didn't mean a whole lot back then I later
32:10
became a name that's very significant and well recognized in our time. One of
32:15
my favorite examples of this is there's actually an episode of Yours Truly Johnny doll
32:21
Are called the Jimmy Carter Manner. Of course, had nothing to do with
32:25
the future President of the United States and at that point future governor of Georgia.
32:30
But it's interesting how character names can take on some significance that the writer
32:38
never intended. AHH Girl ninety one leaves a review despite some complaints from Adam,
32:45
I absolutely love the mixture of comedy and mystery. Sometimes the murder mysteries
32:49
and such can get a little ble through serious and bland, and this makes
32:52
it fun and silly. Yet still the show is the detective category kind of
32:55
reminds me of radio version of Magnum p I because of because of his humor.
33:05
That's an interesting comparison, probably makes more sense than the other review we
33:12
have on the Let George Do It Show compared it to CSI, I could
33:15
kind of see magnum pium. But thanks so much for your comment. It's
33:21
much appreciative. We love bringing you. This show. Will be back next
