  Lie Much. The Adventures of the Saint, starring Vincent Price. The saint,
• 2:21
  based on characters created by Leslie Charteris and known to millions from books,
• 2:25

• 2:30
  to radio, starring Hollywood's brilliant and talented actor Vincent Price as the Saint.
• 2:39
  I mean, mister templar. Yes, let me in quickly, all right.
• 2:49
  My name is Claire Gordon. I can recommend that chair. I don't
• 2:52
  have times to temper. I want to confess, confess murder. Maybe i'd
• 2:55
  better take the chair. You're quite serious, of course, I am one
• 3:00
  confessed to murder. Millie as a joke might depend on their sense of humor.
• 3:04
  However, whom did you murder my husband? I see you don't believe
• 3:08
  me. I have no reason to believe or disbelieve, but I kill him?
• 3:12
  All right? You ought to do something about it, missus Gordon.
• 3:15
  I can think of many reasons why a woman might want to kill her husband.
• 3:19
  In some instances she actually does. But I can think of no reason
• 3:23
  why she should come to me and tell me about Well, I had to
• 3:25
  confess to somebody. You could have chosen the police. Oh they're so vulgar.
• 3:29
  Murder is not a monopoly of the upper classes. Nor is it in
• 3:32
  itself and especially refined that kid. You don't understand. Before I married Jim,
• 3:37
  I was clear welock of the something or other wecks, no doubt.
• 3:39
  Still, I absolutely refuse to go to some poky, dirty little police station.
• 3:45
  Some of them are quite large, and I understand clean from time to
• 3:47
  time tell some grubby little man all about my personal affairs. Murder, according
• 3:53
  to the statutes, is a public affair. I think you're nasty only trying
• 3:57
  to be reasonable. After all, was reasonable when beautiful women were concerned.
• 4:04
  Oh that's true, only on Shrove Tuesday. I despise you to wait.
• 4:10
  Maybe today is no, it's Sunday. Hey, she could be coming back
• 4:15
  to make an appointment for Shrove Tuesday. No, you're a Simon templar.
• 4:21
  I'm afraid I am. You seem to have jack. Why was my wife
• 4:24
  here? Your what wife? And don't try telling me you didn't know she
• 4:27
  was married? You. I think you'd better tell me about myself inside now
• 4:33
  then you are James Gordon, and my wife was just here? How do
• 4:38
  you know I saw her leave? Are you going to try denying it?
• 4:42
  Not? If you saw just leave? Well that's good. Now, if
• 4:46
  you don't mind, I'll take my coat off. You're worn, I'm about
• 4:48
  to beat your brains up, you know. Watch your language? And why
• 4:54
  do you think your wife was here? Pretty obvious, isn't it. I
• 4:58
  don't know, after all, I never met your wife before you. Furthermore,
• 5:02
  mister Gordon, you're a dad? Are you being whimsical? I'm only
• 5:06
  trying not to make a liar out of your wife. She told you she
• 5:10
  was a widow more or less. Actually, she came here to confess.
• 5:14
  Are you trying to pull my leg? I've always thought that a highly overrated
• 5:17
  indoor sport, except, of course, in the right company. She came
• 5:20
  here to confess to what to murdering? You? What? Apparently her confession
• 5:27
  was premature, if that is you really are James Gordon? Well thanks for
• 5:31
  the premature and of course I'm James Gordon. Who else would I be?
• 5:35
  Shall I guess? No? No, you can take a look at my
• 5:40
  wallet, thank you, m driver's license, blue shield, medical plan card
• 5:47
  dated hardly enough, only a week ago. What's odd about that? Apparently
• 5:53
  you don't expect to die? You are James Gordon? Well? Thank you?
• 5:59
  Now would you like to tell me why my wife was here. She
• 6:01
  came to confess to your murder. You know, mister Templar, I think
• 6:06
  I'm beginning to believe you. Fine, keep working at it. Claire is
• 6:10
  eccentric. If you say she told you she'd murder me, well she must
• 6:13
  have told you she did. But why I'm not dead? Therefore she didn't
• 6:17
  murder you? Then why did she make such an idiotic confession? Wish for
• 6:21
  thinking? Perhaps? No, just some more. Perhaps it was only anticipation
• 6:27
  of excuse me, Hello, mister Templar. Louie, Louie. A half
• 6:34
  an hour ago you called for a cab, A half an hour ago.
• 6:38
  I arrived half an hour ago. I was still warm. I am now
• 6:41
  under studying an icy Oh, Louis, I'm sorry, come upstairs and throw
• 6:45
  out. I have had company, a blunt just got with. What are
• 6:48
  you up to now? Her husband? I'll come up. I'll bring a
• 6:53
  large wrench that will be necessarily Bye, mister Temple. What you said just
• 6:58
  before, you mean, perhaps she intends to murder me, But why should
• 7:01
  she want to. She came to confess, not to confide in me.
• 7:05
  I better run along, get hold of Clare, and I well I'm sorry
• 7:12
  I bothered you, mister templar. Oh it's all right, thanks for your
• 7:15
  patience. Forget it, bye bye, well so much. That's right,
• 7:30
  Sergeant, man named Gordon shut to death on my doorstep. No, sergeant,
• 7:34
  I never shoot anyone on my doorstep. It's untidy. I don't know.
• 7:40
  I look, sergeant, I have an idea. Why not drop in
• 7:44
  and see for yourself? Sergeant? Was quick? Come in? Oh Louis,
• 7:54
  I forgot you were coming up, you warmer? Yeah a little bit,
• 7:57
  thanks, friend of yours. Who the gentleman who's laying down dead outside
• 8:03
  your door? No wed bear him? Oh well that's nice. You ready
• 8:07
  to leave now? I'm afraid not. I have to wait for the police.
• 8:09
  That's too bad. You know, a guy might be a conservative dresser,
• 8:13
  but I don't think he does credit to your doorstep. I wouldn't say
• 8:15
  that. His name is James Gordon of the Gordon Gordon. Oh well that's
• 8:20
  different. Yeah. Did he kill himself or did somebody help him? I
• 8:24
  don't think he killed himself. Why, well, he'd just taken out a
• 8:28
  blue shield card or planning for the future. Yes, it also means he
• 8:33
  expected to have a future Louis, while we're waiting, would you look up
• 8:37
  James Gordon in the phone book? Okay, but I can tell you now.
• 8:41
  He won't answer the phone. I want his address, but he's moving.
• 8:45
  It's gonna be the mob. But his wife will still be there.
• 8:48
  Oh oh, here it is twelve seven Oaks Drive. It's a very high
• 8:54
  class neighborhood, a very high class wife. Maybe I ort to run home.
• 8:58
  Put on my white tie. Don't be said, Louis, under the
• 9:01
  circumstances, the ties should very definitely be black. You know, those cops
• 9:16
  were very nice, so they were in spite of what you asked them.
• 9:20
  What do you mean you asked them if somebody confessed to murdering James Gord,
• 9:24
  So I did, yes? Or don't you think it's a little early for
• 9:26
  a confession, Louis, You don't understand. You see, in this particular
• 9:30
  case, the confession was made before the murder. Oh well that explains him.
• 9:35
  That explains nothing, Louis. Missus Gordon visited me just before mister Gordon
• 9:39
  did uh huh no, no, no. What she did do was confess
• 9:45
  to murdering her husband. But he was still alive. That's all right.
• 9:48
  Maybe she's got clairvoyance or something. Oh twelve seven olks drive mister theim good?
• 9:52
  Yeah? Uh? Should I wait? Now? You better come with
• 9:56
  me? Okay, but why when I have a feeling i'll need a witness.
• 10:01
  Oh so you really don't know missus Gordon very well? And if a
• 10:05
  confession was true, I don't want to know her at all. But it
• 10:09
  couldn't have been. Huh, except maybe it was. That's one way of
• 10:13
  putting it. Sure, And that's the way nobody understands to me. Included.
• 10:18
  Good evening, gentlemen, boy, is he hare wrong? Good evening?
• 10:22
  If we should like to see missus Gordon come in please? Whom shall
• 10:28
  I say is calling? Who I beg your pardon? Who shall I say?
• 10:31
  Is calling better grammar? Listen, bud, for what I dragged down
• 10:35
  here home is good enough? Oh? Oh, the Gordons don't pay well.
• 10:41
  If you are referring to recent history. The Gordons don't pay period having
• 10:45
  financial difficulties. I ain't having no difficulties, and I can't they ain't got
• 10:48
  no Financis explains the hospital plan, and you'd better slip your English accent on
• 10:54
  and announces I'm Simon Temper this is Lewis. Yeah, Hi, very good.
• 11:00
  Since one has Brooklyn grown butlers Wi the gardens have been in trouble,
• 11:03
  mister Gordon, ain't not anymore about Missus Gordon. Missus Gordon will see you
• 11:09
  this way, I thank you. Not only will she see you, but
• 11:11
  you'll see her looking at an objective. You're getting the break. She is
• 11:16
  quite a dish sir. You are speaking of the woman mister Gordon alone who
• 11:20
  says, that's the door she's on the other side. Hey, hey,
• 11:22
  hey, hey, hey, you might open it for us. What's the
• 11:26
  matter. You've broke an arm or something. If he ain't careful, they're
• 11:28
  going to send him back to Brooklys. Missus Gordon, Yes, of course,
• 11:37
  it's been a little while since we last met. But since we've met,
• 11:43
  we haven't met. We haven't if we had, surely I remember,
• 11:46
  mister Templar, I believe. But listen, we met at my home within
• 11:52
  the last hour. Well, I'm sure you have a very charming home,
• 11:56
  but I was never in it, and I may be able to fresh your
• 12:00
  memory if you'll be patient with me. You came in order to confess,
• 12:05
  confess what the murder of your husband, Mister Templar. If this is some
• 12:11
  kind of job, then it's not on the best of taste. Aside from
• 12:16
  everything else, my husband happens to be alive and in splendid health. So
• 12:20
  you see, I couldn't very well have confessed to any such silly thing,
• 12:24
  Missus Gordon. Is your husband's health is no longer what it used to be.
• 12:30
  He's dead dead Jim, Yes, Missus Gordon. Oh no, she
• 12:43
  did faint, mister Templar. King Arthur would never have let you sit down
• 12:48
  at his round tape. I couldn't afford to be chivalrous, Lewis. I
• 12:52
  had to make sure her faint was genuine. Oh you thought you might be
• 12:54
  putting on an act. Yes, However, from the way she fell,
• 12:58
  there was no huh. Could that mean that the rest of her story about
• 13:03
  never being in your apartment a confession that that's also true? Hardly? Well,
• 13:07
  maybe she's a twin. No, why not? Too easy? Come
• 13:11
  on, help me put her on the couch. Yeah, you think maybe
• 13:15
  she's she's just playing nuts and perhaps, or perhaps, then, i quote
• 13:18
  her playwright, of some insight, there's a method in her madness. She's
• 13:24
  coming to about looking look after her. Come on, a long Okay,
• 13:33
  I think you guys can find the front door. Oh, yes, we
• 13:35
  brought our compass. How is Missus Gordon? She was fine. I don't
• 13:39
  think she's doing quite too well. Now you might look in. It will
• 13:43
  be a pleasure. Good night, good night. Well that was a nice
• 13:52
  visit. Of course our hostess happened to faint. But where are we going
• 13:58
  on? Maybe we could make somebody else faint. No, your cab first
• 14:01
  of all. And then yeah, we wait, Well what Santa Claus,
• 14:07
  mister Temple, he was here recently, Not Santa Claus, Louis, we're
• 14:11
  waiting for Missus Gordon to recover. Oh, that's considerate of it. Not
• 14:16
  really, it's nasty of us. Oh it is. Huh. We're gonna
• 14:18
  hate ourselves in the morning, and that will depend on where Missus Gordon leads
• 14:22
  us tonight. Well, she ain't in no hurry. We've been waiting ten
• 14:35
  minutes already. I'll give it time, Louis. She had to recover from
• 14:39
  her faint, make a phone call dressed for the street. Yeah maybe,
• 14:41
  but I get nervous. You probably needed Tonic had a call. Yeah,
• 14:46
  it reminds me I had a call up in the bronx once. Oh sorry,
• 14:52
  A redhead comes out of the house fifteen minutes after I start hunking the
• 14:54
  horn, has me drive it a grand Central. I ask her why the
• 14:58
  delay. She says she was very busy murtering her husband and I laugh like
• 15:01
  anything, but you know what, she had murdered her husband. That's the
• 15:05
  last time I'll tell you what stories I was supposed to say that. I'm
• 15:09
  sorry, Hey, Louis, m oh yeah, yeah, donad luck missus
• 15:13
  Gordon, oh, missus, God, it's a nice car she got.
• 15:18
  Give her a chance to get into it. Oh yeah, I always forget.
• 15:20
  Well, she's in now. Yeah, wait a minute, you retire,
• 15:24
  Louis. She has to straighten her hat to her lips, put on
• 15:26
  her gloves, signal for her right turn and then and then pull away from
• 15:30
  the curb and then turn left. Right, come on, let's go,
• 15:33
  lowais all right? Him, mister template. Do you think maybe she's leaving
• 15:39
  for parts unknown like that redhead. I doubt it would amount to a second
• 15:43
  confession, and one that would be believed. Yeah, or a woman would
• 15:48
  just pay that she's driving plenty fast, true, you see, Louis.
• 15:52
  No one dawdles in the shadow of the gallows. Hey, she's pulling up
• 16:07
  in front of that park entry and we better stop here out huh out she's
• 16:17
  she's heading into the park. We follow her. Yes, strange. Maybe
• 16:23
  she's just a nature love her, mister Temple at this hour of the night.
• 16:26
  As the Low says, you got to love nature only in the daytime.
• 16:29
  It is in love which brings her here. Careful, it's just copy
• 16:33
  you're the lake. Hey, there was a guy waiting for her. There's
• 16:38
  no way we can get any closer. She made spot us on the pad.
• 16:41
  How about getting in amongst the trees. That's an idea, Yeah,
• 16:45
  except how good is it? They ran out of trees just here close enough
• 16:51
  to see him. But at least we've just met another figure in the case,
• 16:56
  I'll stick to missus Gordon's. That is sure. We can't see him,
• 17:00
  been introduced to him, and we have to do something about that.
• 17:03
  Hey, missus Gordon is scrammer coming back along the path. We stay where
• 17:07
  we are. Look, she's almost wondering. Yes, probably on very good
• 17:11
  advice. Huh. She has to be on time for her appointment with the
• 17:15
  police. They might not approve of her having gone for a midnight strove in
• 17:18
  the park and the night her husband died. Yeah, she's gone. Yeah,
• 17:22
  but the guy is still there. We're interested in him now, very
• 17:27
  much interested. You'd have to come back this way we can cut him off.
• 17:33
  Got to find out who he is, Louis. Mm got a handkerchief?
• 17:37
  Boy? You wanted to blow my nose? No? Never do what
• 17:40
  I'm doing? Mmm? Oh, make like a mask bandit or something much
• 17:44
  general idea? Hurry doing? Yeah, okay, I do him now,
• 17:48
  a mask bandit? But I ain't happy. I don't have a gun,
• 17:52
  but perhaps it'll work anyway. What's a gun you don't have? Yes?
• 17:56
  Sound? Double up? My right hand in my pocket? Here he comes.
• 18:03
  Okay, stop right there? But what get behind him? Left in?
• 18:07
  I ain't left hand? Oh yeah, I'm behind him? What is
• 18:11
  this stick up? What are you thinking? Is? You can't do this?
• 18:15
  Sure we can. Maybe you like to argue so much you would prefer
• 18:18
  being ventilated being what shot? Look, you don't have to shoot one of
• 18:22
  your epanol enjoy it. Shut up, hand of your poker and over my
• 18:25
  what only are you ignorant? The money bag? Mister? The wallet?
• 18:27
  Oh here here? Thanks? Now keep walking the way you were see,
• 18:32
  and don't try looking around. I ain't got no objections at all to shooting
• 18:36
  a guy in the back. I won't look around. I won't. Well,
• 18:41
  he's gone, you know, we ought to scream through, mister Temple.
• 18:45
  If he yelds for copy, don't think he will. He might have
• 18:48
  to explain what he was doing in the park at this time of night.
• 18:49
  You'd have an easier job than we would. See. His name is Timothy
• 18:55
  Kerrigan, papers in his wallet, member of the bar associational Oh oh fine,
• 19:00
  you'll probably see us for nothing. A lawyer. That's probably the lawyer
• 19:06
  for the Gordons. Well, that would explain why missus Gordon yelled for him.
• 19:08
  But why would they have to meet in the park. I don't know,
• 19:11
  Louis, except that anywhere else they might have been seen together and overheard,
• 19:15
  and that would be bad. It might be murder. Well, here's
• 19:32
  your house, mister Templar. Yes, Louis gonna go to sleep, I
• 19:37
  imagine, So nothing to be done tonight as far as I know. Yeah,
• 19:41
  Well, anyways, now we got three suspects instead of two. Three
• 19:45
  Yeah, missus Gordon Kerrigan and the butler. The butler is never guilty Louis.
• 19:51
  Hey, how about coming up for a drink? What was that you
• 19:53
  said? Come on, let's go a mister Templar about Butler's Maybe this one
• 20:06
  ain't guilty, but sometimes one could be. You know that's true. But
• 20:08
  the one we met tonight is too charming, a carrying don't look now,
• 20:14
  mister Templar, keep walking, but your charming character is carrying around the young
• 20:18
  cannon. Good evening, I was buttling these nights. Go on inside the
• 20:23
  apartment with pleasure. Hold nobody move til I put the light on. Okay,
• 20:33
  all the way in. I'll sit down, both of them crazy,
• 20:40
  No, you can't jump me. Easy, sitting down, intelligence, We
• 20:45
  sit. It's for you. You're either an idiot or in love. It's
• 20:51
  the same thing. I didn't come here to make conversation with your template.
• 20:53
  Why did you come to make sure you forgot about about missus Gordon's confession?
• 20:57
  An idiot in love that's got a not with you. Suppose I refuse to
• 21:02
  forget missus Gordon's confession. You'll forget it either by agreeing or by being dead.
• 21:07
  You want me to promise to say nothing of the confession to the police.
• 21:10
  That's right, I suppose I do promise, and then you leave,
• 21:12
  And then suppose I don't keep that promise? No, no, why do
• 21:15
  you have to bring that up? I come back and kill me? Then
• 21:19
  what good would that do? Missus Gordon? All right? If what you're
• 21:22
  getting is it that the only way I could be sure is by killing you
• 21:26
  them. How much was mister Gordon's life insured for a grant like there had
• 21:32
  to be a motive for his death, a motive that would place missus Gordon
• 21:34
  in danger of being considered likely to have murdered her husband. The Gordon's had
• 21:40
  no money, insurance was the most probable motive in existence. Kerragan handled the
• 21:45
  Gordon's finances. Yeah, Missus Gordon is in love with Kerragan, isn't you?
• 21:49
  No? I think you? Who cares what you think? All right,
• 21:55
  let's find out how innocent missus Gordon is. Look, pull the window
• 22:00
  shade down front window, Pull an arm chair over to the window and sit
• 22:04
  in it. Why, you'll then be silhouetted prettily for the benefit of any
• 22:10
  one outside in the street. The drawn shade will make it impossible for you
• 22:14
  to be identified exactly. Your build is much the same as mine. You
• 22:18
  will therefore appear to be meet any one outside. You will also provide a
• 22:23
  perfect target the whole to the only one who would have any reason for wishing
• 22:27
  me dead, the murderer of James Gordon. You love Missus Gordon. You're
• 22:33
  convinced she is innocent, She's been here before, and she'll be able to
• 22:37
  find her way back. Well. Will you sit in that chair? Two
• 22:57
  in the morning, and by this time the police would long have reached Missus
• 23:03
  Gordon. They probably finished with their preliminary questioning. She could plead sleepiness and
• 23:11
  have left the Gordon home, allowing fifteen minutes to get here. She should
• 23:15
  be arriving at almost any moment. Shut up, naturally, you're not worried
• 23:18
  perfect target, though you make. Yeah. Besides, mister Templar, even
• 23:22
  if she does shoot him, he'll be killed by the woman who loves.
• 23:26
  What more could a guy want? I told you that, Yes, she
• 23:33
  was saying that car, Yes I heard it. It doesn't have to be
• 23:37
  her, but I'm sure it is. I heal, well, mister Badler,
• 23:44
  I'm getting out of here. Hey, he dives very nice and in
• 23:48
  time. I wonder, with no ready made target for her, what will
• 23:52
  missus Gordon. Do you better get in the next room? Uh? Yeah,
• 23:59
  okay, Oh Louis, will you open the door? Oh? I
• 24:04
  don't mind if you do. I wouldn't like to get shut on your doorsteps.
• 24:10
  Now, way to appreciate your hospitality, I get it. Hello missus
• 24:17
  Gordon, Well you're not alone? No, no, that's Louis. Remember,
• 24:22
  but better remember inside? All right? Send him away? I promised
• 24:30
  him a drink. He hasn't had it yet. I can't send him away.
• 24:32
  But what I have to tell you is confidential. Louis is in my
• 24:34
  confidence. All right. It might turn out more convenient if you're difficult about
• 24:41
  why forgetting that I was ever here before? Forgetting? I came to you
• 24:45
  with a confession of murder. Sorry, but I have a remarkably retentive memory.
• 24:48
  For example, I remember a girl I used to go to school with.
• 24:52
  Better forget her for the moment. Oh, I couldn't. I loved
• 24:55
  her very deeply. How would you feel about twenty five thousand dollars? I
• 24:59
  love them very deep too. They're being offered to me for a promise to
• 25:03
  forget. Yes, and if I don't keep it, you'll sign a paper
• 25:07
  admitting your promise and acceptance of the money that would make you an accessory.
• 25:11
  You wouldn't dare change your mind. Hey, she's smarter me still doing?
• 25:17
  Missus Gordon. You're young, you're beautiful, and twenty five thousand dollars is
• 25:21
  very attractive. Nevertheless, I shall refuse all of you, even Yes,
• 25:26
  I wondered how long it would be before you produced that and the revolver.
• 25:30
  You killed your husband with him? I didn't I could convince me in a
• 25:34
  lot better way. Can I convince you? Oh? Yes, your confession
• 25:37
  helps. It does. Of course, your husband's death makes you richer by
• 25:42
  one hundred thousand dollars, doesn't it. Yes, Otherwise you had nothing for
• 25:48
  our investments. They were unfortunates to Carrigan handle. Yes, he's a lawyer.
• 25:52
  So your husband handed over his money to Kerrigan. Did he also know
• 25:56
  he was handing over his wife as well? What did you say? I
• 26:02
  met his life? Of course, a natural slip of the tongue. You
• 26:04
  know you still haven't told me how my confession was going to help me.
• 26:08
  I didn't say it would help you. I said it would help convince me
• 26:11
  you hadn't killed your husband. Well, that's the same thing, mister Templar.
• 26:17
  That was the back door. Yeah, I know, I was saying,
• 26:22
  Oh, yes, the fact that you didn't kill your husband is actually
• 26:25
  of minor importance, and viewers, that would be a good time to borrow
• 26:30
  your gun. Louie, Will you keep missus Gordon company while I see what
• 26:34
  the boys in the back room are doing. You're all right? It was
• 26:41
  Carrigan. H I thought it would be. He didn't see me. Came
• 26:47
  into the room, head for the door of the living room. He sneaked
• 26:49
  it open a bit. One is he alive? Yeah, I just got
• 26:52
  on on the shoulder. He was working the black well. That's right,
• 26:59
  hey, you from the police. They've one wounded murderer to collect one beautiful
• 27:06
  accessory before and after the fact. No, no, but of the highest
• 27:10
  class. Her butler will help her. Wait, no, no, no,
• 27:30
  what are here trying to do? Drown me? Oh? Thanks a
• 27:33
  lot. Oh hey, mister Templar. Look, I know Kerigan shot mister
• 27:41
  Gordon and I kind of hear. And Missus Gordon will like that. This
• 27:45
  is a new phrase. It'll catch on, Louis believe also because they needed
• 27:48
  the insurance though to live happy of her restaurant being the high class types.
• 27:52
  But why did missus Gordon confess to you before a husband got killed? It
• 27:56
  was an attempt to establish an alibi for herself, Louis. She expected that
• 28:00
  I'd immediately phone the police or else take her back to her home to view
• 28:03
  the corpse, and the meanwhile Kerrigan would murder Gordon and that would have left
• 28:08
  Missus Gordon in the clear. Yeah, but you didn't do either of those
• 28:11
  things. Why I didn't believe her or she had really killed her husband and
• 28:15
  was willing to take whatever consequences there might be. Why come to me?
• 28:19
  Uh huh? So that loust up her alibi, especially because her husband started
• 28:23
  to staying home and getting a shot, had become suspicious of when he trailed
• 28:26
  her here, and was in turn trailed by Kerrigan, who saw a natty
• 28:30
  opportunity for double crossing Missus Gordon and keeping the money for himself. He handled
• 28:36
  the Gordon's affairs and had the power of attorning. Yeah. Yeah, but
• 28:38
  look Missus Gordon's faint when you told her about her husband's death. You know
• 28:42
  that was real. You pointed it out yourself, of course it was,
• 28:45
  Lewis, But she didn't faint at the news of her husband's death. As
• 28:48
  such, the reason she fainted was because she realized that she'd confess to me
• 28:53
  and that her husband had been shot at a time for which she had no
• 28:56
  alibi. Ah. Well, no, I'm almost smart. Now I can
• 29:00
  enjoy my drink. Oh that's good. Hey, you know that love sick
• 29:07
  Butler tells me he's going back to Brooklyn and a kind of life in the
• 29:11
  upper classes is too low for his taste. Poor fellow he loved, not
• 29:15
  wisely but too well. On the other hand, what's wrong with Brooklyn?
• 29:33
  You have been listening to another transcribed adventure of the Saint, the robin Hood
• 29:37
  of Modern Crime. Now Here is our star, Vincent Price. Ladies and
• 29:41
  gentlemen. In our cast, you heard Joan Banks as Claire and Peter Leeds
• 29:45
  as her husband, Hi Apperback was the butler, and Jim Nusser Kerrigan.
• 29:52
  Larry Dubkin plays Louis. This is Vincent Price, inviting you to join us
• 29:56
  again next week at this same time for another exciting adventure of the Saint.
• 30:00
  Good Night. This Adventure of the Saint was written by Lewis Viddis The Saint
• 30:27
  based on characters greeted by Leslie Charters is the James L. Safire production and
• 30:32
  is directed by Helen Mack. Vincent Price is soon to be seen co starring
• 30:36
  in RKO's production of His Kind Of Woman. All you Saint fans will be
• 30:40
  glad to know that the Saint comic books are on sale at all news stands.
• 30:44
  You're an aounswer, don stamp. Three chimes mean good times on NBC.
• 30:48
  Well, it's Sunday again. That means another gala broadcast of NBC's Big
• 30:52
  Show. This evening, Hostess t Lula Banquette has a whole flock of guest
• 30:56
  stars, including Marlena Dietrich and the two glamourgals, Lula and Molena get together.
• 31:02
  Look out for flying spots for drama. This Sunday evening, Peter gild
• 31:07
  Down the Air presents The Tenth Story The Third Man, starring Joseph Cotton and
• 31:11
  Signy Hassel. Join Tallula her a Big Show with Milena Dietrich later on NBC
• 31:27
  Welcome Back. I have to say the Brooklyn Butler character really cracked me up,
• 31:34
  in particular the part where he dropped out of the English accent, though
• 31:40
  the whole thing is full of the great lot word play, that The Saint
• 31:45
  uses so effectively. The lost episode from December thirty first was entitled The Grim
• 31:52
  Reaper, and that ended a streak of twenty two straight Sane episodes without one
• 31:57
  missing. But this episode or It's another streak of seventeen straight Saint episodes without
• 32:05
  any lost episodes. So while it's a problem with the earlier series the NBC
• 32:09
  version of The Saint, at least the ones with Vincent Price are fairly well
• 32:15
  collected. All right, Well, we do turn to listener comments and feedback,
• 32:22
  and this one comes from Ed who says the episode this episode drove me
• 32:30
  crazy with the term monkey being applied to an ape. Apes do not have
• 32:36
  tails, monkeys do. Sixty years later, people still can't make the differentiation.
• 32:44
  I think the guy playing the ape was making monkey sounds as well.
• 32:49
  But I love the program. Keep up the good work. Well. I
• 32:53
  definitely understand the frustration when something is not accurate and you know the way it
• 33:00
  should be, but it's important to keep it per in perspective and make sure
• 33:05
  you don't go overboard. And I'm glad you're doing that. You just don't
• 33:08
  want to go ape over things like that. Okay, Other than bad puns
• 33:14
  and seriously thanks for the comment, and it is a good point ed.
• 33:20
  I wanted to send a hearty thank you actually to everybody who's on our Facebook
• 33:25
  page, because I've been noticing over the past a few weeks a lot of
• 33:30
  people sharing episodes of our programs. Usually each episode's got at least one share.
• 33:42
  One episode of the Adventures of Philip Marlow had twelve different people hitting that
• 33:47
  share button and posting it on the wall of their Facebook page. And I
• 33:53
  appreciate everybody who does that. And if you hear an episode that you enjoy,
• 34:00
  i'd encourage you just to share it with your friends on the wall.
• 34:02
  It's a great way to share about the program. We also should have more
• 34:07
  of that on Twitter. We're trying to work on getting our tweets a little
• 34:12
  bit more consistent. But to everybody who's sharing on Facebook, thank you so
• 34:17
  much. Really do appreciate what you do to expand the reach of the program.
• 34:24
  Again, hearty thank you to all our Facebook sharers, and thank you
• 34:31
  so much to everybody who's one of our four thousand fans, but particularly the
• 34:35
  sharers. And if you do have a program you like, definitely encourage you
• 34:39
  to share it. With your friends. All right, Well, that will
• 34:43
  do it for today. We'll be back tomorrow with the return of the lineup
