Unknown Broadcast is your strange little frequency of old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, and vintage radio mystery—the kind of signal that crackles with laughter one second and turns cold the next. Tune the dial just a hair too far…and you’ll catch the stories that weren’t meant to survive the night.

Tonight’s broadcast drifts from absurd crime to buried dread, from cursed good fortune to open-water peril—four classic radio tales where greed, fear, and bad timing all make the same sound: footsteps behind you.

Inside this episode:
  • 🐘 “The Stolen White Elephant” — A ridiculous, escalating caper that turns into a full-blown hunt: detectives, headlines, and the impossible task of recovering a stolen white elephant before the whole city becomes the punchline.
  • ⛏️ “The Digger” — Down in the dark where secrets go to rot, someone keeps digging… and the past starts pushing back. A tight, grim suspense tale where the ground feels alive.
  • 🪙 “The Golden Penny” (The Whistler) — A shiny little promise of luck—until it starts behaving like a lure. A fortune that buys trouble, and a trap that snaps with a smile.
  • ⚓ “Clear for Action” (Escape) — A maritime nightmare at full speed: danger on the water, enemy pressure closing in, and a desperate push to survive the next command… and the next blast.
Some nights the dial lands on comedy, some nights on terror—but the signal is always the same: something is missing, something is digging, something is buying time… and something is closing in.

00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:15.839
Ah my dear, so good to see you back once again.

2
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:17.800
Oh what's that?

3
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:18.280
Well?

4
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:26.839
Thank you, I certainly do try please please take your seat.

5
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:31.800
As usual, it's right by a roaring fire. I know

6
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:37.640
the weather seems to be hot and cold back and forth.

7
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:45.960
But down here, well there's always a chill in the air. Now,

8
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:51.159
let me get the tea steeping away. Do you ever

9
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:56.320
wonder what you are to the universe, what you are

10
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:02.600
to the darkness and the lightness? I wonder, I wonder

11
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:14.159
if I'm just a stolen white elephant.

12
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:22.079
Come in welcome.

13
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:28.719
I'm a g Marshall, moderator of these mystic meanderings, as

14
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:32.000
you must surely know by this time. Certainly we remind

15
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.560
you of that fact often enough. The Detective story was

16
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:39.480
invented by our own Edgar Allan Pole. For all the

17
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:44.280
good it did him, Poe died virtually of starvation. Arthur

18
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:48.680
Conan Doyle, an Englishman, took all of the principles laid

19
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.599
down by Poles, and proceeded to make a fortune with

20
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:58.599
Sherlock Holmes. Whoever said life was fair, this erst mark

21
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:02.680
plain no end, and so determined to strike a blow

22
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:06.879
for America. He routed a satire to put Conan Doyle

23
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.960
in his place, and in this battle between the Titans,

24
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:15.080
all of us are the winners. As you were about

25
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:20.479
to hear, inspect her, I've been roped of what an elephant?

26
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:25.319
And now for a white elephant? Well, what do you

27
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.439
want us to do? I want you to find him

28
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.520
for me. Find an elephant on the streets in New

29
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.560
York City and our white elephant at back. Would I've

30
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:36.400
realized the digital day if you locked the dog, or

31
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.159
a can, or even a pet mouse while an author

32
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:43.599
a reward, This will tax our resources to the utmost.

33
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:47.919
With so many places of concealment, how does one find

34
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.719
a stolen white elephant? Is this task beyond the power?

35
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:58.080
But New York City detected? For sir, nothing is impossible

36
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:10.479
for a New York detective. Our mystery drama The Stolen

37
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:14.960
White Elephant was adapted from the Mark Twain classic Especially

38
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.719
for the Mystery Theater by Sam Dan and stars Robert

39
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:23.000

Magazine and Buett Motor Division. Happy Back shortly without war

41
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:44.800
Mark Twain being duly sworn deposes as follows. This curious

42
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:48.560
history was related to me by a chance railroad acquaintance.

43
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:49.800
He was a.

44
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:53.319
Gentleman of more than seventy years of age, and his

45
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.639
thoroughly good and gentle face and earnest and sincere manner

46
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:02.360
imprinted the unmistakable stamp of truth upon every statement which

47
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:12.719
fell from his lips. He said, it is in the

48
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:18.800
air eighteen and the seven or the seven seven, No matter.

49
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:23.040
I was a major in Her Imperial Majesty's bingal dancers

50
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:26.560
in India, and one morning.

51
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.319
The bluntch or indvice has been in the evening.

52
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.680
Anyway, I was summoned by my commanding of a Colonel

53
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:41.040
Chumney Hogan Yale. Or had he been recalled then is

54
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:46.399
no matter, as I say, I was summoned the sit down, smeadow,

55
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.720
sit as you know where I am? Is why as

56
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:53.480
I might find it on the map, Colonel, for things

57
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:55.240
that the King have picked up now in.

58
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:58.120
A row of the border, some such right.

59
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.680
Yes, Kicky beggar, Well he was thinking or with a

60
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:03.959
rape card. I can tell you that brought him to

61
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:07.639
his senses. He what quick enough, Yes, well as the

62
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:11.040
sign of his gratitude intends to send Her Majesty had

63
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:14.920
taken him his esteem. Yes, her and elephant can Edithon,

64
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:16.279
Are you white elephant?

65
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:17.680
Why?

66
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:22.600
Quite seems it's a sacred animal and all that. So

67
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:26.439
he's look, whatever will the queen do with the white edythant?

68
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:31.519
Not the reason why matters? You are faced in command

69
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.959
of the white elephant party, Jiffer. I must remind you

70
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.959
that the fate of her Majesty's injurr empire is in

71
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:41.000
your hand. Yes he Therefore you are to God the

72
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.120
beast with your life. It shall be Dumper. It's up

73
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.879
to you, Smeather, to deliver this white elephant into the

74
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:53.639
hands of the Queen. Into her hands smells England expects

75
00:05:53.680 --> 00:06:03.199
every man to do his duty.

76
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:02.800
With her.

77
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.120
She was fitted out for me and my servants, and

78
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:10.639
all officers were intended for elements. Together with the elephants,

79
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:15.480
we sailed across the Pacific and rounded at San Francisco.

80
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.439
They're a special pain awaited us, and we crossed.

81
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:22.160
To a great country, arriving a week data in the

82
00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:23.199
city of New York.

83
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:24.040
Oh.

84
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:28.240
I had come to know my charge rather Will. We

85
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:34.319
spent many happy hours together. He was a rather an

86
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:38.319
intelligent deliphent taken by a lodge, but he did have

87
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:43.480
a somewhat limited vocabulary. When we arrived in New York,

88
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:46.959
and I placed my charge in admirable quarters, where we

89
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:49.439
awaited the boat that was to take us home again

90
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:53.160
to England. I meanwhile, I was enjoying the sites of

91
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:58.000
your fine metropolis, little realizing the catastrophe that.

92
00:06:58.199 --> 00:06:59.079
Lay in store.

93
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:08.639
In late one night, my slumber was disturbed by my agity. Deservants, Sahib,

94
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:11.720
and leave the land of dreams, and I come a

95
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:18.079
week all the same. There is news news, Ganga Dars.

96
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:19.360
What is it?

97
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:25.240
What ominous news, Sahib, frightening news? Younger Das, would you

98
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:29.480
just tell me the elephant? Oh, yes, there's the elephants?

99
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:36.000
He said that, what elephant? Our elephant? Well, what about

100
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:41.959
the elephant? The elephant is called gone stolen? But I

101
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:44.680
don't say that. I would say something else is that

102
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:51.800
would make this ship happy. I rushed to the building

103
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:54.199
where we had caught the elephant, and there was a

104
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.720
gaping hole in the back wall, as if somebody had

105
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:00.680
broken through the bricks and masonry, and the being able

106
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:04.319
to make away with the elephant. Oh yes, the place

107
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:08.759
was in ruins, and so was my career. I had

108
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:12.439
failed the fat of the Empire. I had been placed

109
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:16.079
in my hands, and I had fullt of I could

110
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:21.040
look forward or into ruin and disgrace. And then I

111
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:24.360
remember that I was in New York, where the head

112
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:29.720
of the detective force was the celebrated Inspector lump Oh.

113
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:35.240
If anyone could leave me, if anyone could restore that elephant.

114
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:41.320
You realize, man, smile ankle, in nature of this assignments

115
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:46.440
that I do an elephant, especially a wine elephant. One

116
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:49.159
does not easily lay one's hands on a creature of

117
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:52.879
this sort. In New York, I realized that there are hundreds,

118
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:55.639
victually thousands of places who were want to hide a

119
00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:56.440
wine elephant.

120
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:57.679
That is true.

121
00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:00.480
Why if you weren't looking for him you could pass

122
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:02.519
him on the street and hard in orders him is

123
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:06.320
because I appreciate the difficulty. But tell me, tell me

124
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:10.720
that you will take the case. Inspector Blunt, you are

125
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:15.840
my only hope. I spawn white elephant. Think of it,

126
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:21.240
trying to find a stollen white elephant. It's got looking

127
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:23.440
for a needle in a haste back beat. All our

128
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:34.440
major smadis I'm your man, Inspector Blunt Oh.

129
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:36.159
I tell you he was.

130
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:39.840
A man to inspire her confidence. He was a tall,

131
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:43.919
thin man with a strong compact frame, A person of

132
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:51.200
no common order, calm and in command. This is no

133
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:56.840
ordinary case. Every step must be warily taken. Oh yes, her,

134
00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:01.759
and secrecy must be object, of course, not just plain secrecy,

135
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:08.960
but profound secrecy. Understand Speak to no one, not even

136
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.879
to the reporters. I will handle the press personally. I

137
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:15.960
will tell the Fourth of State only what it will

138
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:21.320
suit my hands to let them know. Now, the business systematically,

139
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:25.399
but nothing can be accomplished in a detective business without

140
00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:28.840
strict and minute method. If I'm sure, I agree? It's

141
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:32.000
like a nine. The name of the elephants?

142
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:34.679
Oh his name? Yes, how I'm been out here?

143
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:35.320
Didn't hit him?

144
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:38.039
A Mohammed al Ham young for the.

145
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:43.480
Cheep boy duke suit them? But four? Do you have

146
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:49.480
a nickname? Jumble? Race of verg I am parents living

147
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:51.440
a day dead.

148
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:52.679
I believe you.

149
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:54.120
I positive?

150
00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:58.279
Is its important that one must be.

151
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:01.840
Donal in these affairs? Up? Can he describe?

152
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:03.480
This elephant is a goal?

153
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:07.519
He was a fight edepend I'm afraid we must do

154
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:13.159
better than that. High nineties eight ranked from apanks of forehead,

155
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:18.360
dansation of tail, twenty six seats, length of trunk sixteen

156
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:23.039
see length of taska dial in the heart seat an

157
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:29.399
indistinguishing mark, distinguishing box. Well, now he could seek to me,

158
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:33.840
my dear Major. This minute detail may be boring to you,

159
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.519
but the fact is, the more closely we can describe

160
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:40.159
the elephant, the easy he'll be to identified.

161
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:43.240
Well, I didn't live up mark, suspector.

162
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.039
But you might also add that he likes to squit

163
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:51.480
water on people through his trunk. Of course, Oh well,

164
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.480
we'll be able to identify him now, beyond the shadow

165
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:59.320
of a doubt. How have thirty thousand copies of this

166
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:03.279
description prenat at once? And they every defective office and

167
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.039
points up on a continent.

168
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:07.240
Potum shops hit a.

169
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:10.960
Favorite destination for thieves with stolen lunch and die. Oh

170
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:15.519
I hiddn't force affair. Now it'll be necessary to offer

171
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:16.240
a reward.

172
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:18.279
And what some would do?

173
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:20.440
Suggestions? Because to begin.

174
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:24.960
Twenty five thousand dollars twenty tire thousand, donard, Well, it's

175
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:28.480
an intricate, difficult case. There are a thousand avenues of

176
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:33.000
escape and unlimited opportunities of concealment, and these thieves have

177
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:39.240
friends everywhere, these thieves, you do know who they are.

178
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:42.080
Have a mind about that. I may, I may not.

179
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.240
It will be necessary to describe this elephant fight that

180
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:51.600
stiven further. I thought we've given a fairy detailed way.

181
00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:56.440
Haven't scratched a surface. If he has any peculiar evening habits,

182
00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:00.320
say that'll make him easier to notice. Why is he eat?

183
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:01.399
What did he eat?

184
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:01.600
Oh?

185
00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:03.720
He eats anything.

186
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:10.200
He must be more precise. Way he will need a man. Yes,

187
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:12.799
he would also eat a bible. You can't say he

188
00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:17.399
would eat anything between a man and the Bible. I'm

189
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:20.799
afraid that's too general. Details are what I needed in

190
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:25.399
our business now. As the man, how many men will

191
00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:28.919
he eat? Add one meal or one day? If that's fresh, Well,

192
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:30.879
he wouldn't care if the fresh or knob at a

193
00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:31.480
single meal.

194
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:33.799
He would eat five ordinary men.

195
00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:38.919
Five men. Yeah, let me write that down. What nationalities

196
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:40.159
would he prefer? Less?

197
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:40.320
Do?

198
00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:42.120
That is completely indifferent?

199
00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:45.080
So much for men? What elsely?

200
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:47.600
Well, he would eat big.

201
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:53.120
Bottles, clothing, cats, oysters, ham, sugar, pie and potatoes. Hey

202
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:59.480
oats everything really except boarding house rice pudding. Why does

203
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:03.879
he drink anything that close? Milk, water, whiskey, molasses. It's

204
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:06.879
now used to go into particulars whatever fluid, because you.

205
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:08.320
Just to set it down.

206
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:09.720
Of course.

207
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:15.440
See he will drink anything except European coffee. Thank you, Major,

208
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:22.159
you've provided us with excellent clues. Tower It detailed detectives

all right.

214
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:44.879
Place detectives at all terminals and docks and all road

215
00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:47.320
ways leading out of the city to watch for the

216
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:52.159
stolen white elephant. Dispatch detectives as far north as Canada,

217
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:56.159
as far west as California, as far south as Florida.

218
00:14:57.039 --> 00:15:00.200
And remember it must all be Doway up our secrecy.

219
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:05.559
That'll be all her inspective, untime, marvel and how much grown.

220
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:07.039
You've covered in so short a time.

221
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:11.919
Well, one does these things by instinct, Major Smallness. Is

222
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:15.679
there anything I can do to him? Yes, you must

223
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:21.480
maintain secrecy. Of course, so far no one knows of

224
00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:27.039
the theft except the thieves, your servants, yourself and I

225
00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:29.679
and my men. I shall see to it that might

226
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:35.440
of him saying nothing at all, good, Inspectabunt, you'll realize

227
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:40.360
the international crisis that can be created if that elephant

228
00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:41.600
isn't found soon.

229
00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:44.360
Yes, then.

230
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:51.440
Can you give me some who Major's matters? I am

231
00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:55.879
not given to boasting, it is not my style, but

232
00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:07.039
we shall find you are around a fan very well.

233
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:11.360
You've heard all the details, Inspector Blunt dematic and what

234
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:16.000
is genius with the capacity for taking infinite pains? And

235
00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:19.399
it's just as well, because if you're looking for a

236
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:23.720
stolen elephants in the city of New York, you certainly

237
00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:27.519
need a genius to find it for you. I expect

238
00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:31.360
to find you waiting here for me when I return

239

Smatters of the British Army in India. He has been

241
00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:52.919
entrusted with a sacred white elephant to bring home as

242
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:57.159
a gift to Queen Victoria while stopping over in New York.

243
00:16:57.759 --> 00:16:58.720
The elephant has.

244
00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:02.960
Been stolen, but Smathers has every reason to be hopeful.

245
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:07.000
After all, the search is in the reliable hands of

246
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:12.119
Detective Inspector Blunt Man, whom well let us pick up

247

What a dream?

252
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:33.720
Blunt has sent them.

253
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:34.799
Inspector Guntu?

254
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:40.599
Who who who is Inspector Blunt? Police sahib Oh said,

255
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:41.599
it's no dream.

256
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:42.680
It happened.

257
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:44.799
Fear even has been stolen.

258
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.200
Oh yes, yes, I remember now and I did talk

259
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:51.839
to the world's greatest detective, Inspector Blunt. If the center

260
00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:54.759
of the universe will deigned to look, it is in

261
00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:57.759
all the newspapers, the new How could it be in

262
00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:01.319
the newspapers? Inspector Blunt said that he must be kept secret.

263
00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:05.680
It was he might be for him, said you see

264
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:07.880
what did it takes in the papers?

265
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:12.920
Let me, Inspector Bumped confident stile on white elephant will

266
00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:16.920
be the cover h Inspector Bump expects the media the richt,

267
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:22.160
Blunt says international intrigued by and great twice elephants left.

268
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:24.440
Bump says elephant will.

269
00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:28.000
Still undo it. Ex succession of British throne. Oh wait,

270
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:38.480
did I see that man on the multi inspector, you said,

271
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:41.880
the papers must not be told. They must not be

272
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:45.359
told unless they ask, and when they ask, they must

273
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:49.799
be told. You understand, I re elected, must keep on

274
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:56.720
a good side of the newspapers. But why my good pone, frame, fortune, reputation,

275
00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:01.119
constant public mention. These are the active's bread and butter.

276
00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:05.599
He must publish his facts and his theories. You know

277
00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:08.720
what will happen, No, there will be a song that

278
00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:13.119
he has none. Therefore, we must publish our plans. We

279
00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:15.759
must show the public what we're doing, or they will

280
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:19.000
a shone we're doing nothing. Isn't it better to have

281
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:23.359
a newspaper, say, inspect the blunt's extraordinary theory is as

282
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:29.839
follows than to have them print something harsh or sarcastic. Ah. Yes,

283
00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:31.920
I see your point, of course.

284
00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:35.480
But for instance, in the gazette.

285
00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:38.039
You say that the rear wall of the building was

286
00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:41.759
torn out and the owner door was locked. You didn't

287
00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:44.799
believe that the thieves had removed the ed of them

288
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:47.720
through the open space, but they took him out through

289
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:54.359
some as yet undiscovered outlet exactly but invited.

290
00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:55.599
The thieves struggled to make.

291
00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:58.319
The hole in the hall to missuade me, but I'm

292
00:19:58.359 --> 00:20:03.720
too clever for us. Oh but he uses isn't the

293
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:06.599
tables that the twenty five thousand dollars reward is only

294
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:11.400
being offered to detectives He's got chritz correct? Oh, yes, indeed,

295
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:13.839
But it would seem to me that the rewards would

296
00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:18.880
be offered to anyone who would find the elephants. A. Yes,

297
00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:21.440
but it's the detectives who will.

298
00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:22.279
Find the elephant.

299
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:25.599
Now, if some other people were to find him, it

300
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:29.119
would only be because they were watching the detectives and taking

301
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:32.480
advantage of the cruise that they stole from the detectives.

302
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:36.440
So you see, regardless of who finds the elephant, is

303
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:40.559
the detectives who desire the credit and the reward. Ah. Yes,

304
00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:45.720
of course that does sound reasonable. Had great report coming in,

305
00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:50.319
I'd see, how when have we here? I've got a clue.

306
00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:55.880
Found succession of deep tracks across a farm south following

307
00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:03.680
Detective Darling Flower Station, New York's absolutely Dolly's our best man,

308
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:09.759
Your beasts as good as farm. Ah just arrived at Barker,

309
00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:14.599
New Jersey glass factory broken into during night? Have I

310
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:19.000
witnessed reports of elephants? I'm staying with it, Detective baker.

311
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:22.400
One of my top people are bakers for Jeremy. How

312
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:25.160
could the elephant be in both New York.

313
00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:26.200
And New Jersey?

314
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:31.440
Be assured, Major, there is a rational explanation where he

315
00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:36.880
is wait, I am another teleganon shadowed elephant tracks three

316
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:43.400
miles large, deep ragged. They were met a farmer who

317
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:47.039
says they're not elephant tracks at all, but homes where

318
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:51.200
he dug up trees last year, Dolly, Detective, Flower Station,

319
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:51.799
New York.

320
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:55.759
How do you accoun for it? Of his farmer?

321
00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:01.640
Is our red farmer is obviously the confederate of the thieves.

322
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:07.920
His purpose is to deceive dollars. All send the following

323
00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:12.440
quoted message to Dolly, arrest the farmer and continue to

324
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:17.359
follow the tracks in the Pacific if necessary that the

325
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:23.640
Saint Maia's homing coning point Pennsylvania, Nce, India. Oh yes, yes,

326
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:28.400
this operation is national and Coat and Gas company office

327
00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:33.079
broken until during night and huge three months stack of

328

unpaid gas bills. Tagan looks good for our side, very

329
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:40.440

I am about the interview with special informant. Informant Inspector, Yes,

335
00:23:05.559 --> 00:23:09.039
we have streams into the underworld. A job like this

336
00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:13.839
cannot be kept secret within the criminal fraternity. Major. You're

337
00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:18.400
about to witness the solution of the case. Oh, really

338
00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:19.519
set up?

339
00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:20.759
What do you want?

340
00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:23.759
You know what? I want? Information?

341
00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:27.480
I don't know nothing, Lily, This is no way.

342
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:28.880
To talk to an old friend.

343
00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:30.359
I don't know nothing.

344
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:32.920
Tell me about the elephant, Lily.

345
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:34.039
The elephant?

346
00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:38.119
What elephant you know about? Arkans? Go the second Lily.

347
00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:42.119
You have already made your ritual objection, whatever that is.

348
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:43.359
I didn't do it.

349
00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:44.920
I haven't got an alibi.

350
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:47.079
So let us get down to the business.

351
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:49.400
I'm out of the business now, inspected.

352
00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:51.319
So to help me, I'm going straight.

353
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:53.880
Oh would steal an elephant?

354
00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:55.160
You can?

355
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:58.119
Oo? Would steal a white elephant?

356
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:00.839
Oh?

357
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:02.680
Why you should have said down the first place?

358
00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:03.759
A white elephant?

359
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:06.759
And I see your names of the tip of my tongue.

360
00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:10.839
Would it be by any chance but Chris Well.

361
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:14.319
Barge Christmas, Yeah, sure it's gotta be Barge.

362
00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:17.079
How do I know how he's been all over town

363
00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:18.359
bregging about how he's done it.

364
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:21.960
Is that a fact? Yeah, everybody knows it's barn. You sure,

365
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:24.599
I'll swear to it out of a stack of Bible

366
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:29.759
sounds too. Partly, you're sure you're not making us up?

367
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:31.160
We would it make it up?

368
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:32.279
Oh?

369
00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:32.559
Come on?

370
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:34.759
Had I ever given you a bum steel inspector?

371
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:39.279
Why would Barge Chriswell or anyone else steal a white elephant?

372
00:24:39.559 --> 00:24:42.000
That's what I asked him just the other night.

373
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:44.680
I said to Bode, tell.

374
00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:47.079
Me, and why would you steal a white elephant?

375
00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:48.039
Elder?

376
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:50.480
He just looked at me and.

377
00:24:50.359 --> 00:24:55.039
He said, why would I steal a white elephant? Because

378
00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:55.720
he's there?

379
00:24:58.039 --> 00:25:04.200
A crazy create? Thank you, Larry. That will be all

380
00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:06.599
you know what I mean to tell you?

381
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:07.160
Nothing else?

382
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:08.759
You might go now.

383
00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:19.200
Any time, inspected, good bye and take any one nickels infectory.

384
00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:22.839
I can't even spectr I mean, it's nothing short of

385
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:27.119
miraculous if I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes,

386
00:25:28.799 --> 00:25:33.440
how you drew the information from us? Such subtlety, such

387
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:38.319
skill routine in this profession, My dear mageon, and what

388
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:41.880
is your next move? Our next move is to apprehend

389
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:46.640
the thieves and connect your elephant. Yes, but where is he?

390
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:50.880
Should it be obvious? But to a genius, yes, to me,

391
00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:56.440
he knows he is here here, right here, in New

392
00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:01.559
York City, New York. But the telegram cleverly arranged for

393
00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:04.759
my Chriswell's crew man to throw us off the scent.

394
00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:10.599
The elephant's been here all the time. But where in

395
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:15.079
Chriswell's the potent in chris where's the of course?

396
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:16.839
And now we shall.

397
00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:20.039
Recover your beast. Major. You may wire your government tell

398
00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:22.920
him the matter is settled, The case is closed, and

399
00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:28.799
now we move in for the killed. All. I want

400
00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:31.880
one hundred men on to the teeth. We will surround

401
00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:35.920
the hall of bart Chriswell. We will take him down alive.

402
00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:38.480
I want may I come along, instector?

403
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:39.000
Are you on?

404
00:26:39.319 --> 00:26:39.920
Major? Hi?

405
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:45.920
Heab good Russell said, what was Why.

406
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:48.400
For the sound?

407
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:49.559
What sound?

408
00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:55.599
I could have sworn that I heard the lephants, the alephere,

409
00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:56.240
the edithant.

410
00:26:56.240 --> 00:26:58.119
Because if you as if you were as if what

411
00:26:58.440 --> 00:26:59.599
but as if he were somewhere?

412
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:00.680
It is very building.

413
00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:02.480
How could he be in this building?

414
00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:05.039
I'm here, deep in this building.

415
00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:07.680
You realize, of course that that's impossible.

416
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:10.119
But but I'm so sure that I heard him?

417
00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:13.920
Oh, yes, yes, you probably did at.

418
00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:14.920
All that I didn't know better.

419
00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:17.720
It would be pausible to think that he could be here,

420
00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:20.680
But the place from which he was telling him was

421
00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:25.240
just down the streets. Major, it's entirely possible that you've

422
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:29.599
been hearing is it? You'll hide him because you wanted

423
00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:34.720
to hear him. I don't understand where about the capture him.

424
00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:38.640
You were so filled with anticipation that in your mind

425
00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:40.759
you can actually hear him.

426
00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:44.960
A yes, that accounts for it.

427
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:55.039
Well, shall we proceed the sight of a task force

428
00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:58.680
of New York City detectives about this pring a trap

429
00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:01.359
on a band of desperate criminals.

430
00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:02.960
He's awesome.

431
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:07.319
Indeed, as a miniatary man, I had nothing but praise.

432
00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:11.400
In just a few hours, every detective was in his place,

433
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:12.359
the house was.

434
00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:16.839
Surrounded the neighborhood seals, and we were ready.

435
00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:19.279
To move in for the killer.

436
00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:23.640
Be careful, Major, keep under cover. I intend to be

437
00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:25.880
connected parts of this operation very well.

438
00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:29.039
But Chris wild.

439
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:36.839
Bard, we know here as the sunded there's no hope

440
00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:42.319
of escape. Bod come out head here.

441
00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:44.960
I like my storry.

442
00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:52.759
Bad stand out the elephant when your no one elephant, Bard,

443
00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:56.160
stand out the elephant, and then come out with all

444
00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:00.519
your men. Are they here the elephant here?

445
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:02.200
Ain't nobody here about me?

446
00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:05.119
Bods? Our concert?

447
00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:05.440
Three?

448
00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:07.319
And if you're not out here.

449
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:09.240
By him, we'll come in and get you.

450
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:14.680
One, but I can't abiding here. Two he ain't here,

451
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:19.160
But I said two, good, ain't here the l.

452
00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:19.960
And ain't here.

453
00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:22.240
Ain't nobody here about me?

454
00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:26.680
Very well, bods, you want to hide behind a woman's kites,

455
00:29:27.160 --> 00:29:32.599
I won't help you. I'll concent three again, one, two, three?

456
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:34.920
All right, man, much work the house.

457
00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:56.119
And so the assault is on and the full plage battle.

458
00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:58.960
It is to me, for the sound of it, a

459
00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:03.759
dangerous busines, this being a detective, especially when the quest

460
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:08.079
is for a sacred white elephant, and Inspector Blunt has

461
00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:13.880
woven a tight tapestry of clues and deduction. Surely success

462
00:30:14.039 --> 00:30:18.279
should crown his efforts at last. Well, wait for the

463
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:21.039
third act, which I shall bring here in just a

464
00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:34.720
few moments. In how does one find a white elephant

465
00:30:35.079 --> 00:30:38.920
in New York, especially when it's been stolen by a

466
00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:44.599
band of experienced, with thoughtful and desperate thieves. Well, one

467
00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:49.799
turns the famous police inspector Blunt loose. One watches Blunt

468
00:30:50.079 --> 00:30:54.440
use all of his almost miraculous powers of deduction, and

469
00:30:54.759 --> 00:30:59.200
one sees him march inexorably to where his quarry is hidden.

470
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:02.839
Why what seems to me?

471
00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:05.799
He finally?

472
00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:10.000
Are we every time? Who pi's five?

473
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:10.359
Man?

474
00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:11.400
Bread inspector?

475
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:12.720
Fuck inspect you?

476
00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:15.880
How is that possible? We will the only ones who fire?

477
00:31:16.039 --> 00:31:17.480
No shots came from my house.

478
00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:22.920
Being detective is the most hazardous of all professions. Major,

479
00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:25.119
But what do we do now?

480
00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:26.000
Man?

481
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:30.160
Cover me? I'm gona myself and.

482
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:31.559
I shall go with you.

483
00:31:39.400 --> 00:31:44.039
Open up open a door, always, shall break it down?

484
00:31:46.359 --> 00:31:50.359
Should revolve a loaded major? Yes, sir, be ready for anything?

485
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:55.039
What all the noise about high warity?

486
00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:56.839
Where it hold?

487
00:31:57.039 --> 00:31:57.279
Ma'am?

488
00:31:57.480 --> 00:32:00.880
Advise you do not play a fool? Where is the elephant?

489
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:04.559
How could I have an elephant in the here? I

490
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:08.519
asked the questions, Madam, you'll furnish the answers. That is

491
00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:11.559
the nature of our relationship. Is that on the sort?

492
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:12.680
Yeah?

493
00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:17.960
Now? Where is Barge Chriswell? Barge Criswell?

494
00:32:18.119 --> 00:32:21.079
Where is he? You ought to know where he is?

495
00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:26.319
Madam? I warn you he's dead. Your lives cannot save him.

496
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:31.920
Crazy Sparge Chriswell's in deadies fifteen years Madam, I shill arrest.

497
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:38.200
You're the material witness Farge with hand hanged, you erected

498
00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:43.920
and yourself here. I still keep the newspaper story. You

499
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:51.640
see Barge Chriswell aghmia uh really in detective work by

500
00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:55.400
Inspector Blunt led to the conviction of the hanging of

501
00:32:55.519 --> 00:33:01.640
the notorious Barge Grip And I'm true he is dead,

502
00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:15.160
even a detective with no back. But all the cups,

503
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:17.119
all the cups.

504
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:17.400
Led to.

505
00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:23.200
It had to be chris Well to you, Inspector, don't

506
00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:26.960
be distressed, Major, You must admit the only reason chris

507
00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:29.960
Well is innocent of the crime is because he happens

508
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:30.440
to be dead.

509
00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:35.359
Quite right, Inspector, do you still have faith in me?

510
00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:40.839
Major? My faith is not some fair weather trust to

511
00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:45.160
be dispelled by the first vould. You don't know how

512
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:49.200
much that means to me. I shall make the recovery

513
00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:53.319
of your white elephant my wife's work. I will find him.

514
00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:57.680
If that killed me, perhaps three pay double.

515
00:33:57.440 --> 00:33:59.440
The reward, consider it double.

516
00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:05.359
What was that? Yes, yes, I think I heard it.

517
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:10.000
It sounded like the impotant us as if you right,

518
00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:16.119
scare right here? Our he is deceive this major But

519
00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:20.079
I could, I could have sworn. I just we want

520
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:24.280
to hear him rest assured. We soon shall. I am

521
00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:30.519
now constructing entirely new theory concerning the motives and motives

522
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:37.280
operandi of the international band development thieves in national That

523
00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:43.280
was my fatal mistake. I was too parochial, too limited

524
00:34:43.559 --> 00:34:48.079
my quest. Yes, indeed, the insidious hand of a foreign

525
00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:52.440
power is very much in evidence. I have every teeth,

526
00:34:53.119 --> 00:35:02.440
But you're correct, inspectf see. The same could not be

527
00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:06.559
said for the local and international tests. Every day, new

528
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:10.400
reports were received of edible sightings and further stories of

529
00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:16.960
his wild detraditions. The headlines would read harvests, demolished, factories, destroyed,

530
00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:21.519
death and devastation. Inspect Her Plump has a new hury.

531
00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:27.559
Inspector Blump has a newer theory. Inspector Blump fooled again.

532
00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:34.920
I was so disturbed by all this, But not the inspector, my.

533
00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:38.920
DearS, man, is this is all delivered on my part.

534
00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:43.239
I am spreading these stories, told all the things into

535
00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:47.000
thinking they're safe. Ah to make them think they're dealing

536
00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:51.760
with an incompetent, fool deaf war Is shall become careless

537
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:55.079
and make the fatal error that will seal that dome.

538
00:35:55.679 --> 00:36:01.079
Do you understand? Of course I understand the brilliance of

539
00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:06.079
that strategy takes my back away. It is merely standard

540
00:36:06.199 --> 00:36:10.239
detective procedure. Buck, to allow yourself to be on thirday,

541
00:36:10.360 --> 00:36:14.519
picture them caricatured as a buffoon. One must play a hand.

542
00:36:14.679 --> 00:36:18.800
One is dope and hope for a vindication of history

543
00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:27.360
in Heaven's name, did you hear imagination? Sheer imagination? But

544
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:29.199
if I could have sworn it was the end of

545
00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:36.800
a pay dah ah A message from Darling Hogan's Port, Ohio.

546
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:43.360
Elephant passed through half hour gold, creating punning raids through streets,

547
00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:48.960

548
00:36:49.719 --> 00:36:53.519
and this is from Gloversville, New York. Elephant broke up

549
00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:57.639
Annie temperance meeting here this evening, placing his trunk through

00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:01.280
a window, and he walks it out four regions in

00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:05.920
terror and for sawing him signed mighty. But how could

552
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:10.920
the elephants be in both Ohio and New York? Ma Ja,

553
00:37:11.679 --> 00:37:15.280
this is no ordinary elephant and here we have no

554
00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:18.400
ordinary case. Oh, yes, that is true.

555
00:37:18.360 --> 00:37:23.320
Us for but why do I keep hearing the ediphonts

556
00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:24.039
so clearly?

557
00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:27.679
You mean? Why do you think you hear him so clearly?

558
00:37:27.920 --> 00:37:29.320
Why wish to the aces?

559
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:31.079
What do you wish?

560
00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:32.239
You?

561
00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:34.480
Nothing? Inspect?

562
00:37:34.760 --> 00:37:38.719

564
00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:51.199
A visitor, Oh dear, who who is it? Younger?

565
00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:56.280
Thus a highly placed person, the British embassador and the wisdom?

566
00:37:56.440 --> 00:37:58.440
What you wish him in?

567
00:37:58.719 --> 00:38:01.679
If the center of the universe we commit, I have

568
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:07.000
never seen him are angry Sahib in my entire unimportant existence.

569
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:10.800
But I can't help with gangadl So show him in

570
00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:19.000
rotten sherifce matters. It is indeed the lorsh your end

571
00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:23.519
about that, you know, I honestly I'm behinding that that

572
00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:26.519
that's the problem. We wants her elephant, dear boy, don't

573
00:38:26.559 --> 00:38:29.679
you know? I'm sure every day she asked the PM,

574
00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:32.079
mister Gladstone, were at my elephant?

575
00:38:32.199 --> 00:38:34.800
I am sorry about that, and of course always can

576
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:35.960
give her excuses.

577
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:38.360
And she looked at him she said, well, I'm sure,

578
00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:41.760
dear mister Disraeli will have no trouble finding my elephant

579
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:45.960
if he were Prime Minister. It's reached that point, sir. Oh, yes,

580
00:38:46.039 --> 00:38:48.639
government's about the fall any day where there is that

581
00:38:48.760 --> 00:38:49.519
blooming elephant.

582
00:38:49.559 --> 00:38:51.440
Well we we we are making progress.

583
00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:54.960
We Inspector Blot and do you do your police? Of course,

584
00:38:55.480 --> 00:38:58.119
Well it's your show. But I've taken the liberty to

585
00:38:58.199 --> 00:39:02.800
sound out Sherlock. Sherlock, Oh, he would be willing to

586
00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:05.440
take ship for New York and find the elephant within

587
00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:09.679
forty eight hours, I see her, Am I being in

588
00:39:09.880 --> 00:39:15.199
order to dismiss Inspector Blump and hire mister Sherock. Oh no, no,

589
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:21.039
my boy, you are being advised at with and I

590
00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:23.199
shall think it of Oh yes, I would do that,

591
00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:26.880
because if the elephant is not found immediately, you shall

592
00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:30.599
be court martialed, dismissed from the service, tied for treason,

593
00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:40.679
and either imprisoned or hanged. Is that chair? I believe

594
00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:46.800
the reward should be higher. It's one hundreds and fifty thousand. Now, Yes,

595
00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:51.960
while the case is extremely Calmplank whatever you can best for.

596
00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:57.079
No Inspective Blump, I could swear.

597
00:39:59.199 --> 00:40:02.679
This may be a better news I've waited for and

598
00:40:02.679 --> 00:40:06.519
am on his track. He cannot be more than fifteen

599
00:40:06.679 --> 00:40:12.400
minutes ahead of me Detective Dolly Rosebush, Michigan. And don't

600
00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:12.920
you think that.

601
00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:14.599
Is it?

602
00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:21.559
Boo cheese Wisconsin. Elephants sighted in field two miles north.

603
00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:29.000
Sign Detective Stump Major. We've got him, now, we've got him.

604
00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:32.800
Are you sure positive? He is now in the midst

605
00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:37.719
of my men he and the miscreants who have abducted him. Go, Major,

606
00:40:38.199 --> 00:40:41.719
get some rest. Here will be notified as so as

607
00:40:41.760 --> 00:40:50.840
he's been retired. Here a waktor du Bois walks with

608
00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:53.880
the message from the Sahiba News.

609
00:40:54.719 --> 00:40:56.519
What kind of news late news?

610
00:40:56.719 --> 00:41:00.760
Oh yes, Hassan did not even tell you what old gunga.

611
00:41:03.199 --> 00:41:05.800
Mohammad? How old he helps? Being found?

612
00:41:14.239 --> 00:41:19.000
My right? Quiet? Boys, quiet, it is now my pleasure

613
00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:23.320
to divine the one hundred fifty thousand dollar reward money.

614
00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:27.199
I'm all fine man who cracked this cake.

615
00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:28.400
And have.

616
00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:31.039
It?

617
00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:33.559
I came as queck as I go.

618
00:41:33.800 --> 00:41:37.159
All right, quiet now, boys, let's hear it from Ajor, smiling,

619
00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:40.800
who never want faith you?

620
00:41:41.599 --> 00:41:42.320
You found them?

621
00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:47.440
Where is he in a cellar? The seller the cellar

622
00:41:48.159 --> 00:41:57.679
of this building. Foot hurry, oh my hes, he gives

623
00:41:57.800 --> 00:42:01.840
her founding. You want to we found them? Yes? Please?

624
00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:05.599
I revisited the scene in the crime, hoping, of course,

625
00:42:05.679 --> 00:42:08.760
that the burglars would do the same thing. They do that,

626
00:42:09.039 --> 00:42:14.079
you know, sometimes they revisit.

627
00:42:13.559 --> 00:42:16.320
The scene of the arm they see something.

628
00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:17.840
I know it's hairs on some.

629
00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:18.960
Of the broken bricks.

630
00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:22.920
And then then a sudden flash of intuition, I saw

631
00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:27.119
the whole thing. Has San had broken a wall himself.

632
00:42:27.159 --> 00:42:30.199
He supposed a sleep, Now he's not asleep. And then

633
00:42:30.679 --> 00:42:33.840
I noticed footprints on the ground, and I followed those

634
00:42:33.960 --> 00:42:39.519
footbay dying. There's a quiety is dead. The footprints led

635
00:42:39.639 --> 00:42:43.679
through the alley way. Oh and only the hole in

636
00:42:43.800 --> 00:42:45.719
the wall in the back of our building.

637
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:47.760
They must have fallen through it.

638
00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:50.159
Down here to the basement. And he couldn't get a

639
00:42:50.280 --> 00:42:56.480
hussle dead. He died their starvation for beds.

640
00:42:56.559 --> 00:42:59.000
But the blunt I heard tear it down from detective

641
00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:03.320
dolls from one or Utah have followed dark and strack

642
00:43:03.519 --> 00:43:04.760
a darling.

643
00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:10.320
My finest mind of thought, how out of my time

644
00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:16.000
I got a share of reward? Well, Magan, we found

645
00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:28.320
him for him? Oh, yes, inspector, you found him. And

646
00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:35.079
I don't care what anyone says. Oh, I may be

647
00:43:35.159 --> 00:43:38.280
a ruined ban today of Mahomer's Wanderer, the pap of

648
00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:42.000
the Earth, of my admiration for that detective whom I

649
00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:46.039
believed to be the greatest genius the world has ever produced,

650
00:43:46.719 --> 00:43:52.679
remains a dimble, and both he and I hell be

651
00:43:52.840 --> 00:44:06.559
vindicated by history. And thus ends Mark Twain's story. And

652
00:44:06.760 --> 00:44:10.440
while the cynical may sneer and the schaffers may doubt,

653
00:44:11.159 --> 00:44:15.760
who is to say what verdict shall be returned by history?

654
00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:22.320
Perhaps a greater plan, a mysterious design, did not wish

655
00:44:22.440 --> 00:44:24.159
for the elephant to reach the queen?

656
00:44:25.079 --> 00:44:25.519
Do we know?

657
00:44:26.719 --> 00:44:31.280
Of course not. But if this were the plan, could

658
00:44:31.480 --> 00:44:36.880
two better men than major smatters and inspector blunt them selected.

659
00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:44.719
I'll be back in just a moment. And what is

660
00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:48.960
the moral of our story? Mark Twain was not fond

661
00:44:49.079 --> 00:44:52.960
of pointing out morals. As a matter of fact, he said,

662
00:44:53.440 --> 00:44:57.239
persons attempting to find the motive in this narrative will

663
00:44:57.320 --> 00:45:00.760
be prosecuted, Persons attempting to find and a plot in

664
00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:05.440
it will be banished, and persons attempting to find a

665
00:45:05.599 --> 00:45:10.639
morrow will be shot. Well, nothing of the sort will

666
00:45:10.679 --> 00:45:14.360
ever happen to you if you join us here seven

667
00:45:14.480 --> 00:45:19.440
days each week. Podcasts included Ian Muttin, Robert Dryden, Bryana

668
00:45:19.519 --> 00:45:23.599
Raeburn and Peter Donald. The entire production was under the

669
00:45:23.639 --> 00:45:30.480
direction of Hymen Brown. And now a preview of our

670
00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:38.639
next tale. You're chilling, sh'll be dead? Be opening under

671
00:45:38.679 --> 00:45:47.239
that beating the call, Yes, one of them up? Oh

672
00:45:48.360 --> 00:45:52.880
those poor people. Don't weep for the mirror of no value?

673
00:45:53.320 --> 00:45:55.519
But the history of the world, isn't it?

674
00:45:56.559 --> 00:46:03.199
Well, good warning you. Oh, he startled me, Uncle Peter.

675
00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:10.000
How could I start to anyone? I didn't see you coming.

676
00:46:10.119 --> 00:46:12.199
Were you busy with great thoughts?

677
00:46:12.760 --> 00:46:12.880
Oh?

678
00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:15.079
No, no, no, I was merely talking to this.

679
00:46:18.760 --> 00:46:21.000
Well, I want someone here just a moment ago.

680
00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:23.920
Yes, yes, my boy. I know it affects me too,

681
00:46:24.079 --> 00:46:29.039
I keep seeing people who aren't there myself. Radio Mystery

682
00:46:29.119 --> 00:46:33.119
Theater were sponsored in part by Buick Motor Division Antime

683
00:46:33.239 --> 00:46:38.719
Magazine Until Next Time Pleasant Dreams.

684
00:47:21.480 --> 00:47:27.840
Well, my dear, I suppose I got a little philosophical

685
00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:31.960
before that one, but I think we're all allowed a

686
00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:36.400
little bit of that here and there. Oh what's that?

687
00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:38.000
Well?

688
00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:43.800
I appreciate you thinking, so I try my best to

689
00:47:43.960 --> 00:47:51.920
not be stale and complacent. It's not easy, though, letting

690
00:47:51.960 --> 00:47:57.239
your mind explore, letting it go up into the clouds,

691
00:47:57.800 --> 00:48:02.880
but more so through the earth, almost like the Digger.

692
00:48:10.079 --> 00:48:14.880
And now Tonight's presentation of radio is outstanding theater of

693
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:25.639
thrills suspense. Tonight we bring you a transcribed story of

694
00:48:25.679 --> 00:48:28.400
a man caught in a mind shaft, trapped by his

695
00:48:28.519 --> 00:48:32.800
own conscience. So, now starring Torrent Thatcher, here is tonight's

696
00:48:32.800 --> 00:48:33.599
suspense play.

697
00:48:34.599 --> 00:48:35.159
The Digger.

698
00:48:53.960 --> 00:48:55.519
Carson was not a tall.

699
00:48:55.440 --> 00:48:58.599
Name, not over five foot seven, but the attitude of

700
00:48:58.679 --> 00:49:01.760
determination he had acquired the day before, when he had

701
00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:05.440
unexpectedly sighted his quarry seemed to have added at least

702
00:49:05.480 --> 00:49:06.639
a foot to his stature.

703
00:49:07.280 --> 00:49:09.920
As a result, he walked through the dirty.

704
00:49:09.840 --> 00:49:13.599
Narrow streets of the Native Section that morning without incident.

705
00:49:14.599 --> 00:49:17.599
No one blocked his paths, no one cursed as he

706
00:49:17.719 --> 00:49:18.199
passed by.

707
00:49:19.199 --> 00:49:20.199
When he had walked.

708
00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:22.960
Approximately six blocks from the river crossing where he had

709
00:49:23.000 --> 00:49:25.599
had to park his car, he turned into a small

710
00:49:25.679 --> 00:49:26.400
open doorway.

711
00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:31.320
The dear bonner.

712
00:49:32.159 --> 00:49:36.000
It's the place they call Winkie's boy. Where's your head man?

713
00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:41.599
Thank you, and Goby sah. You do not wish to

714
00:49:41.760 --> 00:49:44.840
drink here? There are many places better for a gentlemen

715
00:49:44.920 --> 00:49:45.639
across the river.

716
00:49:46.360 --> 00:49:49.760
I didn't come here to drink. What other reason could

717
00:49:49.840 --> 00:49:51.960
you have for honoring my establishment?

718
00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:52.199
Sir?

719
00:49:53.079 --> 00:49:54.880
I'm totally you rent rooms upstairs?

720
00:49:55.320 --> 00:49:59.840
You are a policeman, sir. Now sah, you have been missing?

721
00:50:01.280 --> 00:50:04.679
Now please you go huh when you don't have rooms here?

722
00:50:05.199 --> 00:50:09.719
Only two, sir, where my family and close friends may rest.

723
00:50:10.679 --> 00:50:13.159
So you suppose he could be a close friend of yours?

724
00:50:13.199 --> 00:50:13.320
By?

725
00:50:13.400 --> 00:50:13.559
Now?

726
00:50:14.360 --> 00:50:14.960
Who, sah?

727
00:50:15.400 --> 00:50:17.559
The man I'm looking for? I got a job for him.

728
00:50:17.960 --> 00:50:19.880
No one here seek work, sir.

729
00:50:20.239 --> 00:50:23.239
Let him tell me. But I am telling you, sir,

730
00:50:23.599 --> 00:50:27.079
I'll look. Yesterday afternoon I caught a glimpse of him

731
00:50:27.079 --> 00:50:29.199
in the marketplace, and since then I've spent quite a

732
00:50:29.239 --> 00:50:32.639
bit of money to learn that he's staying here. He's tall,

733
00:50:33.440 --> 00:50:38.400
has a bad leg. Are you willing to spend more money?

734
00:50:38.559 --> 00:50:38.719
Sir?

735
00:50:39.079 --> 00:50:39.440
I am?

736
00:50:40.480 --> 00:50:46.000
You Sit down, sir, rest yourself in koby.

737
00:50:46.320 --> 00:50:50.519
Yes, mister, you will see if anyone knows the man,

738
00:50:51.079 --> 00:50:53.039
this gentleman seeks.

739
00:50:54.639 --> 00:50:54.760
Uh?

740
00:50:56.119 --> 00:50:57.360
What is his name?

741
00:50:57.480 --> 00:50:57.639
Sir?

742
00:50:58.280 --> 00:51:02.119
Fabian Roger I used to call him a digger.

743
00:51:13.320 --> 00:51:17.320
Upstairs, in a small musty room, almost directly over Carton's head,

744
00:51:17.960 --> 00:51:21.000
Fabian sat on the edge of a narrow cut he

745
00:51:21.079 --> 00:51:24.320
had aged in the past two years, his stomach had

746
00:51:24.400 --> 00:51:27.920
soured and he had grown thin, so that now he

747
00:51:28.039 --> 00:51:30.280
scarcely resembled the man once known.

748
00:51:30.960 --> 00:51:31.679
As the digger.

749
00:51:32.639 --> 00:51:33.880
For several weeks he had.

750
00:51:33.800 --> 00:51:37.400
Heard that someone was asking questions about him, trying to

751
00:51:37.480 --> 00:51:41.159
track him down. And several weeks ago, if he could

752
00:51:41.199 --> 00:51:43.840
have paid Winkie what he owed, he would have left

753
00:51:43.880 --> 00:51:47.119
this place and gone north. But he never seemed to

754
00:51:47.239 --> 00:51:50.519
have enough money. So now he waited, knowing the man

755
00:51:50.559 --> 00:51:55.199
would find him, wondering what the man wanted. Near Fabian,

756
00:51:55.480 --> 00:51:58.559
standing at the window combing her hair, was a woman

757
00:51:58.639 --> 00:52:01.039
about twenty turned toward the door.

758
00:52:01.159 --> 00:52:02.519
When you go be knocked?

759
00:52:06.239 --> 00:52:13.920
Yes, who is there? And what do you want?

760
00:52:14.280 --> 00:52:16.880
Mister Safana? Come man here to see him?

761
00:52:17.480 --> 00:52:20.960
Tell him I'll be no, I tell him they come

762
00:52:21.079 --> 00:52:25.960
up here? Well, what's the matter with you?

763
00:52:25.960 --> 00:52:28.760
You will have to go away?

764
00:52:29.239 --> 00:52:29.360
Oh?

765
00:52:29.440 --> 00:52:30.880
Where do you get an idea like that?

766
00:52:31.280 --> 00:52:33.800
You do not eat, and at night when you are

767
00:52:33.880 --> 00:52:35.599
sleeping you cry.

768
00:52:35.400 --> 00:52:37.519
Out, oh, And that means I'll believe in you.

769
00:52:38.159 --> 00:52:41.199
You have been hiding. What you were hiding from has

770
00:52:41.320 --> 00:52:43.800
found you now you takes you away.

771
00:52:44.639 --> 00:52:44.960
Good thing.

772
00:52:45.039 --> 00:52:46.880
You don't make your money telling fortunes.

773
00:52:47.280 --> 00:52:48.199
We starve.

774
00:52:50.800 --> 00:52:51.239
Cotton.

775
00:52:52.599 --> 00:52:53.679
But what are you doing here?

776
00:52:54.199 --> 00:52:54.440
Hello?

777
00:52:55.360 --> 00:52:58.840
Come in, come in? Yeah, you sit here where it's clean?

778
00:52:59.079 --> 00:53:01.119
I ask what in the T shirt?

779
00:53:01.440 --> 00:53:02.119
It is a dream?

780
00:53:02.719 --> 00:53:03.639
Say what would you like?

781
00:53:04.079 --> 00:53:04.239
Oh?

782
00:53:04.440 --> 00:53:07.880
Knowing me? Thanks? Still a bit early? Sure it's quite.

783
00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:09.679
Well if you won't mind.

784
00:53:09.880 --> 00:53:13.920
I how do you have T shirt? Like a cigarette?

785
00:53:14.599 --> 00:53:16.719
Very much? Thank you? Here, I have a light.

786
00:53:21.960 --> 00:53:23.400
You're hard to find the girl.

787
00:53:24.840 --> 00:53:27.559
You're the one that's been looking for me. I'd heard

788
00:53:27.679 --> 00:53:33.280
someone who has been a long time. Two years, two years,

789
00:53:33.320 --> 00:53:36.280
seven weeks. You haven't forgotten, could you have?

790
00:53:37.320 --> 00:53:39.800
I don't know. It depends on what really happened on there,

791
00:53:40.280 --> 00:53:43.719
I told the Court of Inquiry what really happened? Yes,

792
00:53:43.880 --> 00:53:46.880
of course you did. Oh long, You've been living here

793
00:53:47.119 --> 00:53:49.920
long enough. I suppose you know how it work, know

794
00:53:50.039 --> 00:53:52.000
how it feels. Oh, I'm sorry, old job.

795
00:53:52.039 --> 00:53:53.880
I didn't mean you think I leave you bad choice.

796
00:53:54.320 --> 00:53:56.159
I couldn't get a job after I left the mine,

797
00:53:56.559 --> 00:53:59.840
not a job anyway. I tried for over a year

798
00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:00.679
before I gave up.

799
00:54:01.280 --> 00:54:01.840
I'm sorry.

800
00:54:02.159 --> 00:54:05.840
Yes, everybody is sorry, including me. Poor old digger had

801
00:54:05.880 --> 00:54:08.079
a bit of a rough gold, didn't He took thirty

802
00:54:08.159 --> 00:54:10.320
men down with him. He's got a bit touchy during

803
00:54:10.360 --> 00:54:13.360
a cave in, and only old Digger makes it back

804
00:54:13.480 --> 00:54:14.079
top side.

805
00:54:14.719 --> 00:54:17.159
You know the mine was closed right after that. Yes,

806
00:54:17.960 --> 00:54:21.559
should have been closed before. He's already worked out. Perhaps

807
00:54:21.679 --> 00:54:25.400
not Digger, they've opened it up again. Hey what I

808
00:54:25.559 --> 00:54:28.519
received a letter from Sandy McGregor, you remember him, and

809
00:54:28.800 --> 00:54:32.400
he sure now Look he got in some backing somewhere

810
00:54:32.559 --> 00:54:36.280
found tracing with another vein most likely. Well anyway, he

811
00:54:36.400 --> 00:54:38.039
asked me to look you up. He wants you to

812
00:54:38.119 --> 00:54:42.159
come back, and seeing you like this, well, naturally I

813
00:54:42.239 --> 00:54:45.000
think you should know. No, No, I couldn't hut at

814
00:54:45.039 --> 00:54:48.360
the border. What happened wasn't your fault? May no it,

815
00:54:48.519 --> 00:54:51.440
but no one else does. Well, Sandy must be wouldn't

816
00:54:51.440 --> 00:54:52.480
have made you a firm offer?

817
00:54:53.960 --> 00:54:54.320
How much?

818
00:54:55.559 --> 00:54:57.559
Five thousand five? Oh?

819
00:54:57.639 --> 00:54:57.960
Why not?

820
00:54:58.119 --> 00:55:00.320
There's no other engineer and the union knows that as

821
00:55:00.360 --> 00:55:00.960
well as you do.

822
00:55:01.639 --> 00:55:02.840
No, it's like my belly.

823
00:55:02.920 --> 00:55:04.800
And you've had experience with the natives up there.

824
00:55:04.880 --> 00:55:05.679
What I've got to do with it?

825
00:55:06.480 --> 00:55:09.760
Nothing rarely but well after they cave in, when they

826
00:55:09.840 --> 00:55:13.039
decided it'd be too dangerous to recover those bodies, the

827
00:55:13.199 --> 00:55:15.320
natives put some oh it put some sort of a

828
00:55:15.400 --> 00:55:20.239
silly taboo on the mine. H five thousand, Eh, that's

829
00:55:20.360 --> 00:55:23.960
right now, Well, you say, digger, I say no. Oh

830
00:55:24.039 --> 00:55:25.159
but God heavens man.

831
00:55:25.039 --> 00:55:28.840
You cotton. I have nightmares. I see those men trap

832
00:55:29.000 --> 00:55:31.559
down there, waiting for me, expecting me to come back,

833
00:55:31.960 --> 00:55:33.639
to come back and lead them out.

834
00:55:34.239 --> 00:55:36.440
I won't get rid of your dreams in this pesthole.

835
00:55:37.639 --> 00:55:41.960
Believe me, it'll help to go back an if things

836
00:55:42.039 --> 00:55:45.480
don't work out. Manut, Well that's about time.

837
00:55:46.519 --> 00:55:47.159
Where's a drink?

838
00:55:47.679 --> 00:55:51.039
Mister? Say no more without money and what you owe?

839
00:55:51.639 --> 00:55:55.239
Now, I imagine that Garton and I only I only

840
00:55:55.320 --> 00:55:59.559
owe a few lousy quid. Imagine that, will you, nigger?

841
00:56:00.320 --> 00:56:03.000
I purchased a truck for McGregor. Now someone's gotta drive

842
00:56:03.079 --> 00:56:04.880
it up for him. If you like, I can have

843
00:56:05.000 --> 00:56:06.639
it at the river crossing tomorrow morning.

844
00:56:06.920 --> 00:56:07.440
I don't know.

845
00:56:07.960 --> 00:56:10.920
I'll get you out of here, maybe your last chance.

846
00:56:11.400 --> 00:56:14.719
It would be better. What it would be better for

847
00:56:14.840 --> 00:56:16.159
you to go back to this place.

848
00:56:16.440 --> 00:56:17.599
Oh, you've been listening.

849
00:56:18.119 --> 00:56:20.679
Seems she cares more about you than you do for yourself.

850
00:56:21.199 --> 00:56:22.920
Dear, it's true.

851
00:56:23.840 --> 00:56:26.800
Well let me have your answer to It's been already

852
00:56:26.960 --> 00:56:28.960
two weeks since he asked me to find you now,

853
00:56:29.039 --> 00:56:31.960
you won't wait forever two weeks You started looking for

854
00:56:32.039 --> 00:56:34.800
me just two weeks ago. Well that's quite a while

855
00:56:34.880 --> 00:56:37.280
to wake when you're anxious to get into production. I

856
00:56:37.400 --> 00:56:38.719
know he won't wait much longer.

857
00:56:40.320 --> 00:56:45.199
What do you say, this woman that make a fine

858
00:56:45.440 --> 00:56:50.199
fortune teller? You buy me out of here and I'll go.

859
00:57:03.079 --> 00:57:06.280
It was normally a pleasant three day trip to Taborah,

860
00:57:06.679 --> 00:57:09.719
but for the Digger, his liquor supply suddenly cut off.

861
00:57:09.800 --> 00:57:10.760
It was a nightmare.

862
00:57:11.199 --> 00:57:13.639
Twice he had to stop for several hours while he

863
00:57:13.719 --> 00:57:16.679
fought to control his nerves, but by the time he

864
00:57:16.840 --> 00:57:19.639
finally reached the floor of the valley that led to Toborah,

865
00:57:20.079 --> 00:57:23.880
the worst was over. Late the fourth afternoon, remembering what

866
00:57:24.119 --> 00:57:27.480
Carton had said, he swung the truck wide around the

867
00:57:27.599 --> 00:57:30.480
native village, and a few minutes later he was driving

868
00:57:30.599 --> 00:57:34.199
down the hot, dusty street that separated the four framed

869
00:57:34.239 --> 00:57:35.880
buildings of the Tabura mine.

870
00:57:53.239 --> 00:58:02.599
Hello, anybody here, Yes, shangy, Sandy MacGregor, Who is it?

871
00:58:04.920 --> 00:58:09.280
It's the Digger? Why what's the matter? Didn't you recognize me?

872
00:58:09.800 --> 00:58:11.679
But now of course they did. They just had to

873
00:58:11.719 --> 00:58:12.159
wait till I.

874
00:58:12.199 --> 00:58:12.800
Got close up.

875
00:58:13.000 --> 00:58:15.920
And you haven't changed sandy in either of you, and

876
00:58:16.000 --> 00:58:18.840
I'm very glad to see you, digger. Oh is that

877
00:58:19.000 --> 00:58:23.239
the truck Carton Botany, Yes, and she's loaded with surprise weird.

878
00:58:23.360 --> 00:58:25.840
We'll unload it in the man and it'll give something

879
00:58:25.920 --> 00:58:29.159
to do. I just started working the mind like cart

880
00:58:29.239 --> 00:58:33.440
until I received the permit. Come along inside. Carton thinks

881
00:58:33.480 --> 00:58:37.119
you've found a new vein, so I should go about

882
00:58:37.199 --> 00:58:38.039
six hundred to ton.

883
00:58:38.760 --> 00:58:41.079
I've got some more samples. You take a look. See

884
00:58:41.119 --> 00:58:45.599
what you think are your late being in your trouble?

885
00:58:45.679 --> 00:58:48.199
Oh no, no, my soles get tight and I don't

886
00:58:48.280 --> 00:58:51.119
use it. That's all too bad. You didn't get entirely

887
00:58:51.239 --> 00:58:52.000
clear of that day.

888
00:58:52.880 --> 00:58:54.599
But even so you had a great deal better off

889
00:58:54.639 --> 00:58:56.079
than the heathers we were down there.

890
00:58:56.239 --> 00:58:59.760
Yes, yes, anyone else here?

891
00:58:59.760 --> 00:59:00.119
Would you?

892
00:59:00.599 --> 00:59:05.320
The geologist seems to know his job. Oh, here we are, Clark.

893
00:59:06.000 --> 00:59:09.400
This is Fabian Roger, Fabian Clark.

894
00:59:09.519 --> 00:59:11.760
That's right. I was just about to fix myself and drink.

895
00:59:11.880 --> 00:59:12.719
You join me, wondering?

896
00:59:13.159 --> 00:59:13.639
No thanks?

897
00:59:13.719 --> 00:59:16.760
Oh come now, Fabian, surely you're thirsty after your long trip.

898
00:59:16.880 --> 00:59:19.480
No, no, I've decided to stay off it for a while.

899
00:59:19.880 --> 00:59:23.679
Oh, I think you'll be able to why, yes, Why,

900
00:59:24.199 --> 00:59:25.960
I've always heard once the stuff's got in hold of

901
00:59:26.000 --> 00:59:27.719
a man, it took real guts to leave it alone.

902
00:59:29.119 --> 00:59:31.960
How about you sending no, not no, I'm going to

903
00:59:32.039 --> 00:59:33.360
take another look around for MIGGI.

904
00:59:34.039 --> 00:59:37.440
Miggie's a news recruit from the village Digger. He disappeared

905
00:59:37.519 --> 00:59:40.599
right after luncheon today. Carton said, you were having some

906
00:59:40.760 --> 00:59:41.679
trouble with the native.

907
00:59:42.519 --> 00:59:45.480
Nothing to it except threats. They don't want just going

908
00:59:45.559 --> 00:59:48.800
down into the mine, big taboo. I'll be back for

909
00:59:48.840 --> 00:59:49.360
a few minutes.

910
00:59:53.599 --> 00:59:54.840
So you're the famous Digger.

911
00:59:56.000 --> 00:59:58.880
I've heard a lot about you, oh from Sandy No.

912
00:59:59.079 --> 01:00:02.400
He scarce is ment show. We want to have that drink.

913
01:00:02.519 --> 01:00:03.480
I'm quite sure.

914
01:00:05.079 --> 01:00:06.679
You've changed since joe Bert.

915
01:00:06.960 --> 01:00:08.480
Oh did we meet her?

916
01:00:08.800 --> 01:00:12.480
We had a mutual friend, truly Morgan remember him?

917
01:00:12.880 --> 01:00:13.039
Oh?

918
01:00:13.199 --> 01:00:17.079
Yes, you've been gone about a month when I checked in. Well,

919
01:00:17.199 --> 01:00:19.880
did you like to see your room right across the

920
01:00:19.920 --> 01:00:22.679
hall from mind? Doesn't matter if you snore though, rats

921
01:00:22.760 --> 01:00:24.159
keep me awake most of the night. Anyway.

922
01:00:24.559 --> 01:00:26.480
Rats here places.

923
01:00:26.159 --> 01:00:28.000
Have a run with them, and they're hungry. So I

924
01:00:28.079 --> 01:00:35.920
want yourself. Well, everything seems to be in order except

925
01:00:36.000 --> 01:00:37.000
the lock on this door.

926
01:00:37.519 --> 01:00:38.760
Oh I won't worry about that.

927
01:00:40.440 --> 01:00:43.079
Someone might sneak in while you're sleeping and slitch your throat.

928
01:00:43.519 --> 01:00:45.039
That's not very funny, Clark.

929
01:00:45.239 --> 01:00:47.960
It wasn't meant to be. Now come along, we'd better

930
01:00:48.039 --> 01:00:49.199
get your gear in before dark.

931
01:01:08.320 --> 01:01:10.079
It's all you have all I brought with me.

932
01:01:11.920 --> 01:01:13.880
Hello, what they're up to?

933
01:01:14.920 --> 01:01:15.239
Digger?

934
01:01:15.840 --> 01:01:16.800
Over here, Sandy?

935
01:01:17.559 --> 01:01:18.199
You find him?

936
01:01:18.719 --> 01:01:20.199
No, he's gone back to the village.

937
01:01:20.599 --> 01:01:22.480
Looks as if I'll have to down the apron tonight.

938
01:01:22.840 --> 01:01:23.920
We will not be eating here?

939
01:01:24.159 --> 01:01:24.480
Or why not?

940
01:01:25.039 --> 01:01:27.960
I went over toward the village. That's no ordinary ceremony.

941
01:01:28.000 --> 01:01:28.360
That hold.

942
01:01:28.679 --> 01:01:31.519
They're being hipped up into something big, lots of cooler

943
01:01:31.639 --> 01:01:32.320
being past.

944
01:01:32.199 --> 01:01:33.440
The boat for our benefit.

945
01:01:33.480 --> 01:01:35.760
Perhaps I'm afraid so you mean they might come here

946
01:01:35.800 --> 01:01:37.840
to attack us. I'm not going to stey to find

947
01:01:37.880 --> 01:01:40.679
out where we go down into the mine. That's the

948
01:01:40.760 --> 01:01:42.840
one place they won't dare to come after us. Now,

949
01:01:42.960 --> 01:01:44.440
you and Fark go ahead to get I'll get some

950
01:01:44.519 --> 01:01:46.280
blankets and things in the house, or what about the

951
01:01:46.360 --> 01:01:47.440
truck and your supplies.

952
01:01:47.480 --> 01:01:49.320
If we don't get out of this alive, we won't

953
01:01:49.360 --> 01:01:49.679
eat them.

954
01:01:50.679 --> 01:01:53.960
Oh, Digger, I wasn't going to tell you this before

955
01:01:54.000 --> 01:01:57.880
you got settled, but I think I should now. Yes,

956
01:01:59.000 --> 01:02:02.840
I've taken an oath kill you, but I intend to

957
01:02:02.920 --> 01:02:05.960
do it within the next few days, unless, of course,

958
01:02:06.000 --> 01:02:10.039
the natives do it for me. Well, come along again.

959
01:02:18.679 --> 01:02:21.920
You are listening to the Digger to Night's presentation on

960
01:02:22.079 --> 01:02:26.159
radio's outstanding theater of Thrills suspense.

961
01:02:39.440 --> 01:02:42.960
Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar is no signature on a Valentine.

962
01:02:43.360 --> 01:02:47.079
Not that our danger loving insurance investigator is opposed to romance.

963
01:02:47.800 --> 01:02:50.639
It's just that the detective's profession calls for a pragmatic

964
01:02:50.679 --> 01:02:53.199
approach to life if he wants to go on living.

965
01:02:53.960 --> 01:02:55.960
That's why, no matter how lovely a lady may be,

966
01:02:56.119 --> 01:02:58.440
and no matter how attracted to her, Johnny Dollar may

967
01:02:58.480 --> 01:03:01.960
be solving the particular the Casey's working on always takes

968
01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:05.360
precedence over sentiment. The case he's working on right now

969
01:03:05.679 --> 01:03:08.320
calls for courage as well as caution, and it's a

970
01:03:08.400 --> 01:03:09.519
baffling mystery thriller.

971
01:03:09.559 --> 01:03:11.000
You'll enjoy following.

972
01:03:10.719 --> 01:03:13.719
Clue by clue as you listen for Yours Truly Johnny

973
01:03:13.760 --> 01:03:17.559
Dollar Monday through Friday evening on most of these same stations.

974
01:03:20.920 --> 01:03:24.719
And now we bring back to our Hollywood soundstage Torrent Thatcher,

975
01:03:24.840 --> 01:03:29.199
starring in Toonight's production. The Digger a tail well calculated

976
01:03:29.320 --> 01:03:32.119
to keep you in suspense.

977
01:03:47.159 --> 01:03:50.880
By taking advantage of the Digger's bad leg, Clark managed

978
01:03:50.920 --> 01:03:53.039
to stay several paces in front of him as they

979
01:03:53.079 --> 01:03:56.960
walked toward the mind. This prevented Fabian from asking questions

980
01:03:57.039 --> 01:04:00.800
and pressing Clark. Francis Clark himself was the big question.

981
01:04:01.559 --> 01:04:04.599
The Digger was not entirely convinced that Clark was serious.

982
01:04:04.800 --> 01:04:08.719
Yet there was nothing humorous in Clark's threat, which had

983
01:04:08.760 --> 01:04:13.400
been made in an unemotional, completely fatalistic way. He was

984
01:04:13.440 --> 01:04:17.559
still undecided, and McGregor caught up with him. Together, they

985
01:04:17.679 --> 01:04:22.320
reached the hoist and climbed into the cage. The moment

986
01:04:22.360 --> 01:04:25.800
before they started down, they saw the natives set fire

987
01:04:25.920 --> 01:04:27.320
to the building they had just left.

988
01:04:28.440 --> 01:04:29.360
Then they lowered.

989
01:04:29.119 --> 01:04:33.239
Themselves, and the Digger began to remember the knifemares and

990
01:04:33.400 --> 01:04:35.559
remembered this mine was also a tomb.

991
01:04:41.239 --> 01:04:44.079
This back the catch us in.

992
01:04:45.360 --> 01:04:47.440
There's a bottle wrapped in that blanket, Clark, will you

993
01:04:47.599 --> 01:04:48.079
break it out?

994
01:04:48.440 --> 01:04:49.280
Yeah? Yes?

995
01:04:50.360 --> 01:04:53.760
How far are we going down Sandy to the lower level?

996
01:04:54.000 --> 01:04:56.280
The lower level, That's what.

997
01:04:56.360 --> 01:04:58.239
I've been working. I've got a spot fixed up back

998
01:04:58.280 --> 01:05:01.280
near the cave in more comfortable.

999
01:05:00.880 --> 01:05:01.800
There here we are.

1000
01:05:02.960 --> 01:05:05.760
You look a bit shaky, dig Let it take some

1001
01:05:05.840 --> 01:05:06.000
of this?

1002
01:05:06.400 --> 01:05:11.159
Yes, yes, all right, that's more like the old digger.

1003
01:05:12.000 --> 01:05:12.760
How about your sanding?

1004
01:05:13.239 --> 01:05:13.679
Go ahead.

1005
01:05:14.320 --> 01:05:15.599
I don't bother me being down.

1006
01:05:15.519 --> 01:05:17.480
There, so you couldn't bother any of us.

1007
01:05:17.599 --> 01:05:21.079
That's so. How about it, digger, I want to bring

1008
01:05:21.199 --> 01:05:23.000
back some nasty memories.

1009
01:05:23.199 --> 01:05:23.800
Why should it?

1010
01:05:24.000 --> 01:05:26.039
Well, last time you were down you barely got out alive.

1011
01:05:27.199 --> 01:05:29.800
They were lucky that day, won't you clark? You're right,

1012
01:05:31.360 --> 01:05:34.320
I'm sorry. Didn't mean to remind you.

1013
01:05:34.840 --> 01:05:35.360
You didn't.

1014
01:05:35.599 --> 01:05:38.519
No, I don't imagine I did. Yeah, you better take

1015
01:05:38.519 --> 01:05:50.039
another drink. Wash away the ghosts well, got doing. Okay,

1016
01:05:52.000 --> 01:05:54.360
you hang onto that bottle again, help.

1017
01:05:54.199 --> 01:05:59.159
Sand Wait a minute, what is it? I'm not sure.

1018
01:06:00.480 --> 01:06:01.039
It's smoke?

1019
01:06:01.159 --> 01:06:06.239
All right, hy it is smoke coming from up top.

1020
01:06:07.400 --> 01:06:08.559
They're trying to smoke us out.

1021
01:06:08.960 --> 01:06:12.400
Yeah, that'll take a lot of doing. Come on, let's

1022
01:06:12.440 --> 01:06:13.440
get back with rest.

1023
01:06:19.519 --> 01:06:20.320
They started back.

1024
01:06:20.400 --> 01:06:24.280
Then, their graphite lamps lighted the way, casting shadows on

1025
01:06:24.360 --> 01:06:25.079
the stone.

1026
01:06:24.800 --> 01:06:25.599
Walls ahead of them.

1027
01:06:26.280 --> 01:06:29.000
The digger remembered each foot of the level, each beam

1028
01:06:29.079 --> 01:06:31.239
that supported it. And kept the earth from caving in

1029
01:06:31.360 --> 01:06:34.360
on them. Once he would have remembered them as old friends,

1030
01:06:34.840 --> 01:06:38.360
but not now. Then they rounded a sharp turn and

1031
01:06:38.559 --> 01:06:41.440
came upon the fallen tongues of shale and moose rocks,

1032
01:06:41.800 --> 01:06:43.920
and it caused the death of thirty men.

1033
01:06:50.599 --> 01:06:51.480
Did you see that clock?

1034
01:06:51.840 --> 01:06:52.039
Yes?

1035
01:06:52.239 --> 01:06:52.719
What was it?

1036
01:06:53.039 --> 01:06:53.480
A rat?

1037
01:06:53.840 --> 01:06:58.559
Filthy little rat digger. You'd better go easy on that stuff.

1038
01:06:58.639 --> 01:07:02.000
Let them alone, him alone, get the one's been after him.

1039
01:07:02.480 --> 01:07:04.360
It's all right, Sandy, don't you worry about me.

1040
01:07:05.280 --> 01:07:07.599
Come on, let me have the Yes. Yes, say sure,

1041
01:07:07.639 --> 01:07:13.880
here you are, thank you. No, sit down, We'll be

1042
01:07:13.960 --> 01:07:22.639
here all night anyway, So you're right, Sandy. No thanks,

1043
01:07:22.679 --> 01:07:24.400
we'd better not smoke down here.

1044
01:07:24.719 --> 01:07:25.320
Just in case.

1045
01:07:25.400 --> 01:07:32.039
What of you say, digg Did you know all the

1046
01:07:32.119 --> 01:07:34.800
men that were in here that day? No, not all,

1047
01:07:35.360 --> 01:07:38.400
but most of them. Yes, I saw our letter who

1048
01:07:38.400 --> 01:07:40.159
wrote to the wife of one of them after it happened.

1049
01:07:40.199 --> 01:07:42.239
I wrote good many letters.

1050
01:07:42.400 --> 01:07:47.239
Yes, this woman lived in Suffolk, has two kids at

1051
01:07:47.239 --> 01:07:51.159
about eleven and fourteen. Now you know who I mean

1052
01:07:51.239 --> 01:07:51.400
to go?

1053
01:07:51.800 --> 01:07:58.079
No, I don't know. Well was she Henry's wife? Yes, sir,

1054
01:07:59.119 --> 01:08:02.880
I wrote it. I had to try explain how it happened.

1055
01:08:03.000 --> 01:08:04.920
How you managed to get out when no one else did.

1056
01:08:06.239 --> 01:08:10.800
She believed you, But I didn't wait a minute, you'll wait.

1057
01:08:11.920 --> 01:08:14.920
I've been looking for him for over six months. I'd

1058
01:08:14.960 --> 01:08:15.760
almost given up.

1059
01:08:15.960 --> 01:08:17.680
Why, Clark, why don't you know?

1060
01:08:18.680 --> 01:08:21.199
Has your brain rotted that much? Can't you remember his

1061
01:08:21.279 --> 01:08:24.079
last name? No, Henry's last name. He was your friend.

1062
01:08:24.680 --> 01:08:25.920
He sent his things back to her.

1063
01:08:27.600 --> 01:08:33.199
I sent them to No, No, you can't be Clark,

1064
01:08:34.399 --> 01:08:37.760
Henry Clark, Digger, you're Henry's brother.

1065
01:08:39.039 --> 01:08:41.000
Why did he tell me it didn't matter to you?

1066
01:08:41.800 --> 01:08:43.239
Why did you lie to her like that? Digger?

1067
01:08:43.359 --> 01:08:44.359
I didn't lie, you lie?

1068
01:08:44.439 --> 01:08:45.000
No, I didn't.

1069
01:08:46.279 --> 01:08:47.159
I stopped Clark.

1070
01:08:47.199 --> 01:08:48.880
He was clear at the inquest.

1071
01:08:48.600 --> 01:08:52.119
Because there wasn't anyone to testify against him. But there

1072
01:08:52.199 --> 01:08:57.239
is now, and he's right here sitting beside me. Remember truly,

1073
01:08:57.279 --> 01:08:59.520
don't you? Digger? The woman and Joe Berg, Yes, she

1074
01:08:59.640 --> 01:09:02.760
told me about you, all about you. You had nightmares,

1075
01:09:03.199 --> 01:09:06.119
the same one, over and over to They told me

1076
01:09:06.159 --> 01:09:07.920
she's to committe your room. When it was at its worst.

1077
01:09:08.239 --> 01:09:08.800
You'd be yelling.

1078
01:09:08.880 --> 01:09:09.560
Should have worn them?

1079
01:09:09.760 --> 01:09:10.640
Why didn't I want them?

1080
01:09:10.680 --> 01:09:10.960
Clark?

1081
01:09:11.319 --> 01:09:12.760
While you were saying it, to throw your arms and

1082
01:09:12.840 --> 01:09:14.319
legs about as if you were fighting your way through.

1083
01:09:14.800 --> 01:09:16.840
Clark, Even if it is true, I'm not forgetting.

1084
01:09:16.880 --> 01:09:18.319
I'll forget it when you can sit here on my

1085
01:09:18.359 --> 01:09:21.319
brother's tomb with a clear conscience, without being sick afraid

1086
01:09:21.359 --> 01:09:23.840
like it's been since we entered this place. You know

1087
01:09:23.920 --> 01:09:27.319
what is afraid of Sandy, of the men buried here. No,

1088
01:09:27.640 --> 01:09:29.319
isn't that right? Isn't that right?

1089
01:09:29.880 --> 01:09:30.079
Yes?

1090
01:09:31.279 --> 01:09:33.680
Yes, And you're afraid of them because you ran. You

1091
01:09:33.840 --> 01:09:36.399
left them behind. You saw the danger signed, you knew

1092
01:09:36.399 --> 01:09:38.279
it was going to give away, but instead of taking

1093
01:09:38.319 --> 01:09:39.279
time to warn them, you ran.

1094
01:09:40.119 --> 01:09:40.720
Isn't that true?

1095
01:09:41.960 --> 01:09:42.199
True?

1096
01:09:43.039 --> 01:09:44.319
Yes, it's all true.

1097
01:09:46.720 --> 01:09:47.039
Okay.

1098
01:09:48.479 --> 01:09:52.720
I I haven't known you a long time. Get I've

1099
01:09:52.760 --> 01:09:54.960
seen you do the things that took more than I

1100
01:09:55.079 --> 01:09:56.119
had to help it.

1101
01:09:56.920 --> 01:09:57.520
Believe me, I.

1102
01:09:57.560 --> 01:10:00.680
Couldn't help it. Cavin is the only thing that I've

1103
01:10:00.720 --> 01:10:05.840
ever been afraid of in my life. Fire explosions. Guess yes,

1104
01:10:05.920 --> 01:10:08.159
I was afraid of him, but not like a cave in.

1105
01:10:08.399 --> 01:10:12.720
Would I be cutched the death or die fighting for air? Please, Clark,

1106
01:10:12.800 --> 01:10:15.680
I couldn't help him. Believe me, I don't know.

1107
01:10:16.399 --> 01:10:17.000
It's all right.

1108
01:10:17.359 --> 01:10:19.560
You speak for yourself now, Clark.

1109
01:10:19.640 --> 01:10:20.960
You're not going to keep after him.

1110
01:10:20.960 --> 01:10:22.960
You want me to shake his hand, show him the

1111
01:10:23.039 --> 01:10:24.039
meaning of brotherly love.

1112
01:10:24.119 --> 01:10:26.000
That is, there'll be no harm in it, and a

1113
01:10:26.039 --> 01:10:28.439
lot of good for both of you. We may all

1114
01:10:28.600 --> 01:10:31.239
do just that if they keep on parting smoking here.

1115
01:10:37.399 --> 01:10:40.640
They sat quietly for a while waiting, and then, just

1116
01:10:40.680 --> 01:10:43.760
as McGregor had feared it would, the smoke reached their

1117
01:10:43.840 --> 01:10:46.760
level and came rolling down the shafts, and with it,

1118
01:10:48.119 --> 01:10:51.680
running in front of it were all the animals who

1119
01:10:51.760 --> 01:10:54.119
had made their nests in the abandoned mine.

1120
01:10:57.520 --> 01:11:02.279
What what time is it about? Mid daylight? In another hour?

1121
01:11:03.039 --> 01:11:06.880
The natives will stop then go home to sleep off

1122
01:11:06.920 --> 01:11:07.680
the cooler.

1123
01:11:09.800 --> 01:11:10.119
Dress that.

1124
01:11:10.520 --> 01:11:11.319
Did you hear something?

1125
01:11:11.520 --> 01:11:12.560
I don't know? I thought?

1126
01:11:13.800 --> 01:11:15.520
Listen another rat?

1127
01:11:15.720 --> 01:11:18.399
Look look there at the turn.

1128
01:11:18.600 --> 01:11:21.279
There were four of them. Listen to them.

1129
01:11:22.119 --> 01:11:23.680
They must be coming down here to get away from

1130
01:11:23.680 --> 01:11:24.399
the smoke up top.

1131
01:11:24.600 --> 01:11:25.880
Let's take a look out to the cage.

1132
01:11:28.960 --> 01:11:32.479
Good lord, hundreds of them. Keep your lamp on them.

1133
01:11:32.840 --> 01:11:33.680
They're afraid of light.

1134
01:11:33.800 --> 01:11:35.880
Sunday. Look back there for the cat.

1135
01:11:36.439 --> 01:11:38.479
More coming in. They're not moving.

1136
01:11:38.720 --> 01:11:40.319
Come on, we'll get back, We'll.

1137
01:11:40.159 --> 01:11:40.840
Go back where we were.

1138
01:11:40.920 --> 01:11:42.760
Come on, we've got to have us trapped in here Sunday,

1139
01:11:43.119 --> 01:11:44.399
We're gonna be cut off from the cat.

1140
01:11:44.800 --> 01:11:45.680
We've got to make a run.

1141
01:11:45.760 --> 01:11:47.560
Take it easy, Carr, take it easy.

1142
01:11:48.159 --> 01:11:49.800
Two thousand rats out there waiting for us. How are

1143
01:11:49.800 --> 01:11:50.319
we gonna get out?

1144
01:11:50.319 --> 01:11:52.640
I'm not thinking about that. I'm thinking about keeping alive

1145
01:11:52.760 --> 01:11:53.439
right where we are.

1146
01:11:54.199 --> 01:11:57.760
Who they're moving this way, Shandy, We've got to make

1147
01:11:57.800 --> 01:11:58.800
a run for it. We can't.

1148
01:11:59.239 --> 01:11:59.920
You mean, he can't.

1149
01:12:00.079 --> 01:12:02.279
I mean we're sticking together, but none of us will

1150
01:12:02.279 --> 01:12:02.439
make it.

1151
01:12:02.800 --> 01:12:03.479
Well, I'll die here.

1152
01:12:04.119 --> 01:12:06.239
We'll make a nice meal for them, for their families

1153
01:12:06.279 --> 01:12:06.880
and their families.

1154
01:12:07.560 --> 01:12:11.239
Sandy, you too had better go now, WHI. Let's still

1155
01:12:11.279 --> 01:12:15.079
a chance we'll stay. The air should begin to clear

1156
01:12:15.119 --> 01:12:15.760
in another hour.

1157
01:12:15.840 --> 01:12:17.840
How do you know, You don't know for sure the

1158
01:12:17.960 --> 01:12:18.840
natives are going to give.

1159
01:12:18.760 --> 01:12:20.680
Up, Sandy. Your only chance is to try and reach

1160
01:12:20.720 --> 01:12:22.840
the cage. If you make it and it's clear up top,

1161
01:12:23.159 --> 01:12:25.560
send the cage back down. I'll try for it then.

1162
01:12:26.600 --> 01:12:29.079
If it's not clear up there, it won't make any

1163
01:12:29.079 --> 01:12:29.760
difference anyhow.

1164
01:12:30.159 --> 01:12:32.800
Talking and let's move. But if we leave you alone, they.

1165
01:12:32.720 --> 01:12:36.279
May will anyway in a few moments. Go on, Sandy,

1166
01:12:36.359 --> 01:12:36.560
go on.

1167
01:12:36.680 --> 01:12:38.399
There's a shovel over there, and I can hold off

1168
01:12:38.479 --> 01:12:39.319
until you get up top.

1169
01:12:39.439 --> 01:12:41.159
Listen to him, Sandy, two or decent?

1170
01:12:41.600 --> 01:12:42.840
All right, we'll try.

1171
01:12:43.840 --> 01:12:47.760
Oh Sandy, Yes, one thing in case you get through

1172
01:12:47.840 --> 01:12:51.840
and I don't. There's a woman I I'd like her

1173
01:12:51.920 --> 01:12:54.920
to have my things when you send them to cotton,

1174
01:12:55.600 --> 01:12:56.600
you'll know where to take them.

1175
01:12:56.760 --> 01:13:00.600
Yes, good luck, biggers on your dad.

1176
01:13:14.720 --> 01:13:17.960
A few minutes later, Clark and Sandy McGregor, having fought

1177
01:13:18.000 --> 01:13:19.880
their way to the cage, reached the top of the

1178
01:13:19.960 --> 01:13:23.720
mine and stepped out into a clear blue dawn. Then,

1179
01:13:23.880 --> 01:13:27.279
with an almost automatic gesture, because they had said they

1180
01:13:27.359 --> 01:13:30.520
would not, because they expected the crippled digger to make

1181
01:13:30.560 --> 01:13:33.279
it through the rats, they sent the cage back down,

1182
01:13:34.199 --> 01:13:34.600
and they.

1183
01:13:34.520 --> 01:13:39.920
Waited, how long has it been long enough?

1184
01:13:41.039 --> 01:13:49.760
Yes, Clark, clerk, he made it, he made it.

1185
01:13:50.560 --> 01:13:51.720
Come on, help me put him up.

1186
01:13:58.279 --> 01:14:01.119
They looked down the shaft the cage near them.

1187
01:14:01.520 --> 01:14:03.880
They could see rats clinging to the top of it

1188
01:14:04.039 --> 01:14:07.119
into the ropes on each side. Then the cage was

1189
01:14:07.239 --> 01:14:09.800
clear and they saw what it carried.

1190
01:14:13.039 --> 01:14:20.079
No, oh, my god, Oh, look at him.

1191
01:14:22.000 --> 01:14:25.720
They must have been all over him for a thousand feet.

1192
01:14:28.000 --> 01:14:30.960
They buried him as the sun rose full above the horizon.

1193
01:14:31.840 --> 01:14:34.239
A few days later, Sandy wrote another letter to his

1194
01:14:34.359 --> 01:14:37.840
friend Carton. The day after receiving it, Carton drove again

1195
01:14:37.920 --> 01:14:41.760
to the river crossing, parked his car and crossed into

1196
01:14:41.800 --> 01:14:46.840
the native section. Before he reached Winkies, where he was

1197
01:14:46.920 --> 01:14:50.159
to give the woman a very small package, he had

1198
01:14:50.239 --> 01:14:53.720
been pushed, cursed, and spat upon it.

1199
01:15:00.479 --> 01:15:16.159
Gold suspense in which Torren Thatcher starred. In tonight's presentation

1200
01:15:16.359 --> 01:15:19.920
of The Digger. Next week, we bring you a story

1201
01:15:20.000 --> 01:15:22.920
of a boy who ran from a prophecy but couldn't

1202
01:15:23.039 --> 01:15:26.720
escape its deadly promise. We call it the Strange Prophecy

1203
01:15:26.800 --> 01:15:38.800
of Bertha Abbott. That's next week on suspense. Suspense is

1204
01:15:38.840 --> 01:15:41.720
Wrecked in France, Brandon, Hollywood by Anthony Ellis. You have

1205
01:15:41.840 --> 01:15:45.159
heard The Digger, written by Charles B. Smith, especially for suspense.

1206
01:15:45.640 --> 01:15:49.000
The music was composed and conducted by Leith Stephens. Featured

1207
01:15:49.039 --> 01:15:51.920
in the cast were her Butterheel, Charlie Lung, Ramsey Hills,

1208
01:15:52.000 --> 01:15:54.279
Stan Jones, William Biath and Barley Bear.

1209
01:15:58.479 --> 01:16:06.199
My Dear, you know when you spend enough time digging around,

1210
01:16:07.520 --> 01:16:14.199
scuffing your finger nails on the cold earth, when you

1211
01:16:14.439 --> 01:16:21.760
search through the dense compacted earth, hoping to find something

1212
01:16:21.960 --> 01:16:26.680
what you don't know, but something none the less. Just

1213
01:16:26.880 --> 01:16:33.079
as your flesh begins to bruise, your nails begin to crack,

1214
01:16:34.039 --> 01:16:42.199
and most importantly, your will begins to weaken, that, my dear,

1215
01:16:43.199 --> 01:16:50.920
is when you finally find that one simple golden penny.

1216
01:17:07.800 --> 01:17:11.760
I am the Whistler, and I know many things. For

1217
01:17:11.920 --> 01:17:12.840
I walk by night.

1218
01:17:13.560 --> 01:17:16.800
I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of

1219
01:17:16.920 --> 01:17:19.119
men and women who have stepped into the shadows.

1220
01:17:20.119 --> 01:17:24.800
Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare

1221
01:17:24.880 --> 01:17:25.479
not speak.

1222
01:17:31.720 --> 01:17:35.840
Yes, friends, it's time for the Whistler. Rated by independent research,

1223
01:17:35.960 --> 01:17:55.279
the most popular West Coast program in radio history, and

1224
01:17:55.439 --> 01:17:59.560
now the Whistler Strange Story the Golden Penny.

1225
01:18:10.359 --> 01:18:13.399
The tall, lean young man strode up the gravel path

1226
01:18:13.479 --> 01:18:16.560
with an easy gait, and now standing on the crest

1227
01:18:16.600 --> 01:18:19.720
of the hill, he had reached his goal, the Tremont Mansion.

1228
01:18:20.479 --> 01:18:23.840
After five years of searching. He was certain the Treemont's

1229
01:18:24.079 --> 01:18:28.199
Rodney Tremont in particular or exactly suited to his needs.

1230
01:18:29.079 --> 01:18:32.199
He stepped up to the flagstone entrance, walked to the

1231
01:18:32.279 --> 01:18:34.119
door and pushed the button.

1232
01:18:38.640 --> 01:18:43.319
Yes, sir, I'm Bertram Lowen, mister Tremont is expecting me. Oh, yes,

1233
01:18:43.520 --> 01:18:48.479
come in, sir, this way. He's in the library, I

1234
01:18:52.439 --> 01:18:55.720
mister Tremont, mister low In, sir, Oh yes, Lan, come in,

1235
01:18:55.760 --> 01:19:03.960
Come in very well, sir. Well sit down, Loan, and

1236
01:19:04.119 --> 01:19:05.720
then we'll get to you in a moment. But first,

1237
01:19:05.800 --> 01:19:06.560
what do you know about me?

1238
01:19:08.359 --> 01:19:12.119
Your name is Rodney Tremont. You apparently have a lot

1239
01:19:12.159 --> 01:19:12.520
of money.

1240
01:19:13.720 --> 01:19:16.279
You have a sixty five foot yacht named the Golden Penny,

1241
01:19:17.399 --> 01:19:18.680
and you want someone to run it for you.

1242
01:19:20.680 --> 01:19:25.800
Tell me, Loan, Are you always this direct? Always? It's good?

1243
01:19:26.239 --> 01:19:28.039
Good, all right?

1244
01:19:28.079 --> 01:19:29.520
Now let me fill in some of the things you

1245
01:19:29.560 --> 01:19:32.359
don't know about me. The columnists like to refer to

1246
01:19:32.439 --> 01:19:36.239
me as a playboy, a fortune matter who found one

1247
01:19:36.319 --> 01:19:39.439
and married it. I don't believe half that I see

1248
01:19:41.239 --> 01:19:44.439
or anything that I hear. Oh, the columnists have me

1249
01:19:44.520 --> 01:19:47.640
pigged just about right. But they only suggest that I'm

1250
01:19:47.680 --> 01:19:51.880
a heel by some standards, of course I am. Are

1251
01:19:51.960 --> 01:19:57.000
you a heel too, Loan by some standards? Now, I

1252
01:19:57.039 --> 01:20:00.520
guess we've reached one point of understanding. You let us,

1253
01:20:00.520 --> 01:20:04.039
as your experience to navigation, know all about diesel engines

1254
01:20:04.439 --> 01:20:05.680
like if you an edge on me. I don't know

1255
01:20:05.760 --> 01:20:08.159
the first thing about engines, and I don't want to learn.

1256
01:20:09.720 --> 01:20:12.600
Being skipper of the Golden Penny will be a job.

1257
01:20:13.640 --> 01:20:16.720
Do I have the job? Let's see here?

1258
01:20:17.479 --> 01:20:18.439
Where not put your letter?

1259
01:20:18.960 --> 01:20:27.119
Oh, curtous diesel engineer, navigator single thirty five, play golf

1260
01:20:27.159 --> 01:20:33.680
in the seventies, ex football star, play game hunter and guide,

1261
01:20:34.600 --> 01:20:39.960
experienced skis you do just about everything, poker bridge, rummy, checkers,

1262
01:20:41.159 --> 01:20:44.760
everything except the one thing that's most important, blowing.

1263
01:20:45.600 --> 01:20:48.720
You mean chess? Of course I do well.

1264
01:20:48.920 --> 01:20:53.640
I didn't mention chess because you see, I'm almost unbeatable

1265
01:20:54.000 --> 01:20:57.840
at poker bridge, rummy and checkers, and at chess I

1266
01:20:57.960 --> 01:20:58.720
am unbeatable.

1267
01:21:00.680 --> 01:21:03.159
I'll consider that a challenge, Loan, and I'll accept it

1268
01:21:03.279 --> 01:21:06.800
right now, Rodney, I wanted to ask you. Oh, I'm sorry,

1269
01:21:07.000 --> 01:21:08.600
I didn't know you had to get pet. This is

1270
01:21:08.640 --> 01:21:10.600
mister Lowan. I spoke to you about him. Oh, yes,

1271
01:21:10.680 --> 01:21:13.119
how do you do, mister Loan? Missus Tremont. My goodness,

1272
01:21:13.159 --> 01:21:15.439
mister Loane, I read your qualifications. Why you sound just

1273
01:21:15.520 --> 01:21:19.039
like Richard Halliburton, only more so? Have you written any books?

1274
01:21:19.800 --> 01:21:20.640
I'm sorry I haven't.

1275
01:21:21.039 --> 01:21:23.199
Now I really can't abide yachts, mister Loane.

1276
01:21:23.279 --> 01:21:25.880
Deep sea fishing bores me to death, and my loathes chess.

1277
01:21:26.000 --> 01:21:28.960
Honestly, sometimes I'm hard for to understand just why Rodney

1278
01:21:29.039 --> 01:21:29.760
did marry me.

1279
01:21:30.199 --> 01:21:34.359
I've told you, Pet it was your money, of course,

1280
01:21:35.159 --> 01:21:38.000
I mean, don't take her seriously, Lowen.

1281
01:21:38.359 --> 01:21:41.039
What she isn't telling you is that she's already hired

1282
01:21:41.079 --> 01:21:41.720
a companion.

1283
01:21:41.840 --> 01:21:45.399
Oh well, now, Dearius, quite another story, Dearlius, My secretary

1284
01:21:45.560 --> 01:21:47.640
is well, mister Lowan, and I do need one. I'm

1285
01:21:47.680 --> 01:21:52.279
not the well organized type at all. Besides, Rodney, I've

1286
01:21:52.359 --> 01:21:54.600
never seen you lead the room when she comes in.

1287
01:21:56.039 --> 01:21:58.960
But forgive us, we're not quarreling. Really, this is just

1288
01:21:59.079 --> 01:22:00.600
our unique way blending.

1289
01:22:01.359 --> 01:22:03.920
I'm sure it is. Do hire this man, Rodney, I

1290
01:22:04.159 --> 01:22:07.279
like him. See you later, Thank you, missus, Trueman. See dinner, ped.

1291
01:22:09.039 --> 01:22:09.239
Aw.

1292
01:22:09.760 --> 01:22:13.279
Now that the hurricane has blown itself out, chess table

1293
01:22:13.319 --> 01:22:13.920
was all set up.

1294
01:22:14.079 --> 01:22:16.520
I make my best decisions on the outcome of a

1295
01:22:16.640 --> 01:22:20.800
chess game. Give you a supporting chance. If you beat me,

1296
01:22:21.960 --> 01:22:22.600
you're hired.

1297
01:22:34.600 --> 01:22:38.000
He's a strange man, Rodney Treemount, isn't he Bert? Not

1298
01:22:38.199 --> 01:22:39.319
quite what you'd expect.

1299
01:22:39.399 --> 01:22:39.439
It.

1300
01:22:40.159 --> 01:22:43.560
You're certain he's just what he said, a fortune hunter

1301
01:22:43.680 --> 01:22:47.359
who found one and married it. He interests you because

1302
01:22:47.399 --> 01:22:50.800
in a way you're very much alike, except Rodney's ten

1303
01:22:50.920 --> 01:22:55.560
years older. You wonder if he's ten years wiser. His

1304
01:22:55.800 --> 01:22:58.000
chest is far better than you thought it would be.

1305
01:22:58.840 --> 01:23:01.800
But finally, after an hour, so you make one last

1306
01:23:02.000 --> 01:23:03.039
conclusive move.

1307
01:23:03.800 --> 01:23:09.720
Check me. It's brilliant, brilliant, beautiful game. I'm glad you

1308
01:23:09.880 --> 01:23:12.960
liked it. You wind yourself a job, you know. I

1309
01:23:13.039 --> 01:23:15.920
think you can stand it here, I think I can.

1310
01:23:17.600 --> 01:23:21.359
Today I can't. I'll just steal your yacht and silently

1311
01:23:21.479 --> 01:23:24.560
sail away. How about your word at that?

1312
01:23:25.600 --> 01:23:29.760
Excuse me, mister Tremont, Oh, excuse me, but missus Tremont says,

1313
01:23:29.800 --> 01:23:31.079
dinner will be ready in half an hour.

1314
01:23:31.520 --> 01:23:34.199
Game, just in time, Loan Delia, This is bertrand Low

1315
01:23:34.319 --> 01:23:41.479
and Ramsey, missus Trumont's secretary. Extraordinary girl, and show Bert

1316
01:23:41.520 --> 01:23:43.479
to his quarters. Really, I have a call to make

1317
01:23:43.520 --> 01:23:44.119
before dinner.

1318
01:23:48.720 --> 01:23:53.479
Welcome stranger. Did you get the job? I did your

1319
01:23:53.560 --> 01:23:56.039
case the deal very well here. I'm proud of you.

1320
01:23:56.880 --> 01:24:04.439
Don't underestimate him. He's smart, Tremont. I know you're sure

1321
01:24:04.479 --> 01:24:05.800
he's got one hundred grand of his own.

1322
01:24:06.039 --> 01:24:08.760
She gave it to him as wedding present. She's very

1323
01:24:08.920 --> 01:24:11.520
proud of herself for it. Told me all about it

1324
01:24:11.640 --> 01:24:13.920
as he mentioned it. Told me all about it too.

1325
01:24:14.920 --> 01:24:16.760
He's very proud of himself.

1326
01:24:17.079 --> 01:24:17.319
Good.

1327
01:24:18.680 --> 01:24:22.479
We won't talk anymore. Now, better show me to my quarters.

1328
01:24:24.640 --> 01:24:25.319
They'll talk later.

1329
01:24:34.840 --> 01:24:37.760
You are proud of Delia, aren't you, Bert. She's done

1330
01:24:37.800 --> 01:24:41.359
a good job of advanced work on the Tremonts. You've

1331
01:24:41.439 --> 01:24:44.960
got to move slowly now, cautiously, and the first few

1332
01:24:45.000 --> 01:24:49.000
weeks go along quickly and pleasantly. After a while you

1333
01:24:49.119 --> 01:24:51.079
begin to wonder when Delia is going to make her

1334
01:24:51.159 --> 01:24:55.640
next move. And then one night late, after Missus Tremont

1335
01:24:55.680 --> 01:24:59.640
has retired, you walk onto the terrace for one last

1336
01:24:59.720 --> 01:25:10.319
cig before turning in. Excuse me, it's all right, it's

1337
01:25:10.359 --> 01:25:12.920
only Bird. Sorry, I didn't expect to see you.

1338
01:25:13.359 --> 01:25:16.640
Obviously we didn't expect to see you either. If if

1339
01:25:16.680 --> 01:25:18.640
you'll excuse me, I think I'll go in now.

1340
01:25:20.000 --> 01:25:26.239
I do believe you've unsettled Delia. Bird looks like him anyway, now,

1341
01:25:26.399 --> 01:25:28.760
you know. Look I told you when I first came,

1342
01:25:28.800 --> 01:25:31.880
I believe only half I see nothing. I hear I'm

1343
01:25:31.960 --> 01:25:35.000
counting on that. Mightb be wise for you and Delia

1344
01:25:35.079 --> 01:25:38.960
to show an interest in one another, might throw a

1345
01:25:39.000 --> 01:25:41.439
missis tream out off the track. Do you think she

1346
01:25:41.479 --> 01:25:46.560
suspects hmmm, just a precaution until I decide what to do.

1347
01:25:47.880 --> 01:25:57.560
You start seeing Delia right away. You wonder what the

1348
01:25:57.640 --> 01:25:58.479
two of them are up to.

1349
01:25:58.760 --> 01:26:02.399
Delia in particular, wonder whether she's whipped you or against you.

1350
01:26:03.439 --> 01:26:06.720
It could be a perfect setup for murder, Bert, for

1351
01:26:06.880 --> 01:26:09.680
with missus Tremont out of the way, Delia and Rodney

1352
01:26:09.720 --> 01:26:13.880
would have millions instead of thousands. You decide to have

1353
01:26:13.960 --> 01:26:16.840
a show down with Delia, and the next day you

1354
01:26:16.960 --> 01:26:20.039
get your chance. The two of you are alone in

1355
01:26:20.119 --> 01:26:20.760
the library.

1356
01:26:21.439 --> 01:26:25.439
I'm sorry about last night, Bert, just a weak moment,

1357
01:26:25.520 --> 01:26:26.319
I guess, nothing more.

1358
01:26:26.439 --> 01:26:31.279
What's it like kissing four million dollars? Any better than this?

1359
01:26:35.199 --> 01:26:40.640
Nothing's better than that? Okay, Look what's the deal between

1360
01:26:40.680 --> 01:26:43.399
you and Tremont? I told you not to work too fast,

1361
01:26:43.439 --> 01:26:45.319
to go too far, and I told you it was

1362
01:26:45.479 --> 01:26:47.760
just a week moment, that's all. How would he look

1363
01:26:47.800 --> 01:26:50.239
at you with missus Tremont suddenly out of the way.

1364
01:26:50.319 --> 01:26:53.159
Do you want him and four million bucks?

1365
01:26:53.319 --> 01:26:57.880
I don't want him in ten millions. I'm just following orders. Remember, Chief,

1366
01:26:58.920 --> 01:27:01.479
I was supposed to interest him, wasn't it.

1367
01:27:01.920 --> 01:27:03.600
Tremond isn't the kind of a dope who goes into

1368
01:27:03.600 --> 01:27:05.760
a huddle with himself and cooks up a murder, not

1369
01:27:05.880 --> 01:27:06.600
even for millions.

1370
01:27:06.840 --> 01:27:09.039
Bert, for heaven's sake, who said anything about murder?

1371
01:27:09.279 --> 01:27:14.800
I didn't, don't get me wrong, kid, But strange mushrooms

1372
01:27:14.840 --> 01:27:17.319
have been known to sprout in dark little cellars like

1373
01:27:17.439 --> 01:27:20.600
you poisoned ones. Taken separately, you and Tremont are harmless,

1374
01:27:20.640 --> 01:27:23.199
but together and out of control, you're a bad combination.

1375
01:27:25.039 --> 01:27:28.760
I know all about dark cellars. I'm sure you do.

1376
01:27:30.119 --> 01:27:31.680
All right, then believe me when I tell you he

1377
01:27:31.800 --> 01:27:34.239
can't get the four million, but if we work in

1378
01:27:34.319 --> 01:27:36.359
my way, we can get the golden penny and his

1379
01:27:36.520 --> 01:27:37.119
hundred grand.

1380
01:27:37.199 --> 01:27:41.319
That's what I want. What do you want?

1381
01:27:41.399 --> 01:27:41.680
Do you.

1382
01:27:43.439 --> 01:27:45.840
Do you think we can swing at your away with

1383
01:27:46.000 --> 01:27:46.399
you as.

1384
01:27:46.359 --> 01:27:51.039
B Yes, but get this murderers out. It's sloppy, tedious,

1385
01:27:52.000 --> 01:27:54.399
my plans. Keep everything clean. I'll play it smooth, and

1386
01:27:54.520 --> 01:27:57.359
remember the heavy emotion is out too. I know how

1387
01:27:57.439 --> 01:28:00.960
well you can play the role of a temptress. Just

1388
01:28:01.119 --> 01:28:02.520
don't overdo it.

1389
01:28:03.720 --> 01:28:08.119
That's better. Bert. For a while there, I thought you'd

1390
01:28:08.199 --> 01:28:09.479
forgotten m.

1391
01:28:19.720 --> 01:28:44.199
Back to the whistler, everything seems calm again, doesn't it, Bert,

1392
01:28:44.560 --> 01:28:48.000
After you set Delia straight and once more you feel

1393
01:28:48.079 --> 01:28:51.039
certain that before too long, you'll make the Golden Penny

1394
01:28:51.079 --> 01:28:54.159
and Rodney Tremont's hundred thousand dollars all your own.

1395
01:28:55.199 --> 01:28:58.079
You've carefully schooled Delia on how to handle Rodney in

1396
01:28:58.079 --> 01:29:01.159
front of Missus Tremont, and he responded just as you

1397
01:29:01.239 --> 01:29:04.760
felt he would. With Delia cooling, Rodney can't hide his

1398
01:29:04.880 --> 01:29:08.439
feelings about her, and Missus Tremont is upset. All this

1399
01:29:08.720 --> 01:29:12.399
according to your plan. One afternoon, you decide it's time

1400
01:29:12.479 --> 01:29:15.319
to let Missus Tremont confide in you, as she so

1401
01:29:15.520 --> 01:29:18.960
obviously wants to do. She asked you the joiner in

1402
01:29:19.039 --> 01:29:19.800
the rose Garden.

1403
01:29:20.239 --> 01:29:22.680
I don't really like the way I'm handling miss mister Loane.

1404
01:29:22.720 --> 01:29:26.439
After all, you are Rodney's friend and confident, and he's

1405
01:29:26.479 --> 01:29:29.159
so proud of you, especially your chess game.

1406
01:29:30.239 --> 01:29:32.560
Does he ever beat you? I let him win every

1407
01:29:32.680 --> 01:29:34.479
fourth game, just to keep it interesting.

1408
01:29:35.640 --> 01:29:38.439
Oh my, it's so good to laugh. It's just a

1409
01:29:38.560 --> 01:29:41.359
tonic to have you around, mister Lowan, just a tonic.

1410
01:29:41.840 --> 01:29:42.560
What can I say?

1411
01:29:43.760 --> 01:29:46.079
Well, you could say that I'm just a fool, mister Loan,

1412
01:29:46.399 --> 01:29:49.399
because that's what I am. Fool in love with a

1413
01:29:49.479 --> 01:29:55.800
younger man, wonderful nobody that is, he used to be wonderful.

1414
01:29:56.880 --> 01:30:00.800
Now I'm not so sure. I hate to think of

1415
01:30:00.960 --> 01:30:06.920
leaving him. But do you think Rodney is that he is?

1416
01:30:08.199 --> 01:30:12.159
Indeed, is that what's on your mind? Missus Tremont, I

1417
01:30:12.479 --> 01:30:14.800
bless your high. Your husband's as straight as an arrow.

1418
01:30:14.880 --> 01:30:18.560
He wouldn't consider any other woman, do you She's just

1419
01:30:18.600 --> 01:30:21.000
a kid in his child. Believe me, Missus Tremont, I

1420
01:30:21.119 --> 01:30:23.199
know Rod and I have discussed women by the hour.

1421
01:30:25.079 --> 01:30:29.199
No, ma'am, you have nothing to worry about. Mister Lane.

1422
01:30:29.239 --> 01:30:32.720
You've made me very happy. Still, he is lovely and

1423
01:30:32.880 --> 01:30:35.720
such a comfort. I do hope it can stay that way.

1424
01:30:36.000 --> 01:30:40.239
I can, and the world, Missus Treumont, you know, I

1425
01:30:40.319 --> 01:30:42.399
think I know exactly what the situation needs.

1426
01:30:42.920 --> 01:30:45.199
Really, I'm willing to do anything.

1427
01:30:45.279 --> 01:30:45.479
You know.

1428
01:30:45.960 --> 01:30:49.760
Well, if I could talk Rod into leaving you for

1429
01:30:49.960 --> 01:30:52.520
just a few weeks a cruise, A cruise would do

1430
01:30:52.560 --> 01:30:55.119
wonders for that restless feeling of his it's all it is.

1431
01:30:55.159 --> 01:30:55.279
You know.

1432
01:30:56.800 --> 01:30:59.600
You know what they say about absence, missus treumont. When

1433
01:30:59.640 --> 01:31:01.960
he gets you'll be eating right out of your hand.

1434
01:31:02.079 --> 01:31:03.680
That's a promise, you.

1435
01:31:03.760 --> 01:31:19.279
Know, mister Lewan. I believe you're right. This divsi into

1436
01:31:19.359 --> 01:31:20.439
diesels is beyond me.

1437
01:31:21.279 --> 01:31:22.399
What's the thing you're fussing with?

1438
01:31:22.560 --> 01:31:23.319
Naw ah.

1439
01:31:23.399 --> 01:31:28.199
This it's called the gravity tank. Fuel goes from here

1440
01:31:28.279 --> 01:31:30.880
right into the fuel injection system reties.

1441
01:31:31.479 --> 01:31:35.279
Well it's all Greek to me, you know. But there

1442
01:31:35.319 --> 01:31:37.439
must have been women who would be very jealous of

1443
01:31:37.479 --> 01:31:41.199
the loving care you give that engine. I know about

1444
01:31:41.279 --> 01:31:43.680
more about diesels than I know about women. With me,

1445
01:31:43.760 --> 01:31:45.399
it's just the reverse, thank you.

1446
01:31:45.399 --> 01:31:45.600
Ever.

1447
01:31:46.640 --> 01:31:49.279
Funny now that I think about it, they have more

1448
01:31:49.319 --> 01:31:51.680
in common than you'd think. Both of them look simple,

1449
01:31:52.560 --> 01:31:56.720
act complicated, stand up under heavy pressure, the old pieces

1450
01:31:56.760 --> 01:31:57.479
of a little things.

1451
01:31:58.279 --> 01:32:03.359
Well, it's true women anyway. Although I can't imagine any little.

1452
01:32:03.199 --> 01:32:05.520
Thing that would follow up that monks from an engine,

1453
01:32:05.720 --> 01:32:06.319
A little.

1454
01:32:06.159 --> 01:32:10.079
Thing like like sugar would do it right, Sugar in

1455
01:32:10.119 --> 01:32:12.399
the gravity tank, because that manual there will tell you

1456
01:32:12.560 --> 01:32:14.920
going to create a mess of diesel expert couldn't fix

1457
01:32:15.000 --> 01:32:15.800
for hours days.

1458
01:32:15.880 --> 01:32:18.159
Maybe, believe me, I'll take your word for it.

1459
01:32:18.520 --> 01:32:20.399
It's enough for me to know that too much sugar

1460
01:32:20.479 --> 01:32:21.520
and women don't mix.

1461
01:32:23.079 --> 01:32:25.640
Now, can't we give the engine a rest? Just racing

1462
01:32:25.680 --> 01:32:27.399
it here anchored my old harbor.

1463
01:32:27.439 --> 01:32:29.279
It's too much like treading water when I really want

1464
01:32:29.319 --> 01:32:30.000
to be in the swift.

1465
01:32:34.039 --> 01:32:37.960
Well, that's in good shape if we ever do decide

1466
01:32:38.000 --> 01:32:38.560
to go anywhere.

1467
01:32:39.600 --> 01:32:42.319
Suppose that you were saying last night about some island

1468
01:32:42.359 --> 01:32:48.399
of the Caribbean, like I said, today's run from Kingston.

1469
01:32:49.079 --> 01:32:49.800
That's in Jamaica.

1470
01:32:49.960 --> 01:32:54.399
It's perfect for you, indeed, tropical fruits, bubbling springs of clear,

1471
01:32:54.520 --> 01:32:57.800
cool water and fishing. Man, you've never seen anything like it.

1472
01:32:58.039 --> 01:33:05.000
Small sheltered harbor, perfect about ten square mile? Is it inhabited?

1473
01:33:05.600 --> 01:33:05.840
Sure?

1474
01:33:06.640 --> 01:33:11.199
Monkeys smart monkeys, though they live like King's days. Run

1475
01:33:11.239 --> 01:33:14.399
from Kingston, Huh, shouldn't take too long to get there?

1476
01:33:14.479 --> 01:33:14.600
Then?

1477
01:33:15.000 --> 01:33:15.600
Not too long?

1478
01:33:17.479 --> 01:33:19.800
But then with me, it's it's just a dream because

1479
01:33:19.800 --> 01:33:22.680
I haven't got the money, the yacht or Adelia.

1480
01:33:24.640 --> 01:33:25.560
You've got them all, right.

1481
01:33:34.760 --> 01:33:37.399
Rodney falls for a dozen ee bird, just as Missus

1482
01:33:37.439 --> 01:33:39.640
Tremont did, but for different reasons.

1483
01:33:40.439 --> 01:33:42.079
You convinced him that he has all.

1484
01:33:42.159 --> 01:33:47.159
It takes the money the yacht and Dahlia and Delia

1485
01:33:47.279 --> 01:33:51.159
carries out her part perfectly. She's quit, and Missus Tremont

1486
01:33:51.239 --> 01:33:53.920
believes she's gone to visit her mother, but you and

1487
01:33:54.079 --> 01:33:56.840
Rodney know she'll be waiting to board the Golden Penny

1488
01:33:56.880 --> 01:34:00.439
at your first stop down the coast. It wasn't, but

1489
01:34:00.560 --> 01:34:04.119
you finally managed to convince Rodney that this trip might

1490
01:34:04.239 --> 01:34:06.479
be just the beginning of a cruise that could take

1491
01:34:06.560 --> 01:34:10.119
him anywhere, that he'll be so happy with Delia he

1492
01:34:10.239 --> 01:34:14.039
may never want a return to Missus Tremont. In that case,

1493
01:34:14.079 --> 01:34:16.760
he'll want to take his entire fortune of one hundred

1494
01:34:16.880 --> 01:34:20.760
thousand dollars with him. At last, when the money is

1495
01:34:20.840 --> 01:34:23.960
in the wall safe of the master cabin you put

1496
01:34:24.079 --> 01:34:34.000
to sea. You refuel at the port of San Juan

1497
01:34:34.119 --> 01:34:37.239
and stock the galley to your liking, because from here

1498
01:34:37.319 --> 01:34:39.159
on it's your cruise, isn't it.

1499
01:34:39.239 --> 01:34:39.479
Bert.

1500
01:34:40.399 --> 01:34:44.760
Delia keeps Rodney sufficiently occupied going ashore, seeing the sights,

1501
01:34:45.319 --> 01:34:47.760
and he pays no attention at all to anything you do.

1502
01:34:49.199 --> 01:34:53.039
You leave San Juan long before dawn, but it's late

1503
01:34:53.159 --> 01:34:56.520
morning before Rodney appears, and he seems quite excited.

1504
01:34:57.000 --> 01:34:59.600
Sorr to Tomson and Miller with you, the mechanic and

1505
01:34:59.640 --> 01:35:00.720
the deck Where are they?

1506
01:35:00.720 --> 01:35:01.800
I've looked all over for them.

1507
01:35:02.479 --> 01:35:05.359
I just missed them in San Juan told them I

1508
01:35:05.359 --> 01:35:08.640
wouldn't need them anymore. Why I don't want them in

1509
01:35:08.720 --> 01:35:12.279
my way. I don't want anyone in my way, Rod,

1510
01:35:12.479 --> 01:35:13.520
not you, not anyone.

1511
01:35:13.840 --> 01:35:13.880
What?

1512
01:35:15.920 --> 01:35:18.039
Oh, that's it.

1513
01:35:19.039 --> 01:35:20.399
You dis missed the crew. Now you're going to get

1514
01:35:20.439 --> 01:35:23.199
rid of me. I suppose then you'll have the yacht,

1515
01:35:23.600 --> 01:35:27.079
the money. How stupid?

1516
01:35:27.159 --> 01:35:29.840
Can I get? Easy? Does it right? What's wrong? I've

1517
01:35:29.880 --> 01:35:31.560
been looking for the deckhand is not a sign of

1518
01:35:31.600 --> 01:35:34.359
the crew anywhere. Rod just mentioned that too. I told him,

1519
01:35:34.439 --> 01:35:36.600
easy does it? What I'm going to do, we'll be

1520
01:35:36.680 --> 01:35:38.560
easy believed? What they gonnaway?

1521
01:35:38.760 --> 01:35:39.000
Rod?

1522
01:35:41.000 --> 01:35:44.079
Think a minute. Suppose you kill me. You don't know

1523
01:35:44.119 --> 01:35:46.840
a thing about engines or about navigation. The ocean current

1524
01:35:46.880 --> 01:35:48.880
we're in right now will eventually deposit you in the

1525
01:35:48.920 --> 01:35:49.960
equatorial colms.

1526
01:35:51.279 --> 01:35:54.439
Death would be slow there, but the galley's loaded. We'd

1527
01:35:54.479 --> 01:35:56.239
be picked up in time, with a temperature at one

1528
01:35:56.319 --> 01:35:57.319
hundred and twenty day at night.

1529
01:35:57.359 --> 01:36:00.560
You'd be at each other's throats in three days, You devil,

1530
01:36:01.319 --> 01:36:02.479
You've planned this all along?

1531
01:36:02.840 --> 01:36:05.760
Please? Both are oh and don't forget the sudden squalls

1532
01:36:05.800 --> 01:36:06.359
in that area.

1533
01:36:06.920 --> 01:36:09.039
Takes an expert to ride them out, even under power

1534
01:36:09.279 --> 01:36:10.439
sharks in those waters too.

1535
01:36:10.560 --> 01:36:11.279
Think of Delia.

1536
01:36:11.399 --> 01:36:17.720
Ride, poor girl, Ride please, I'm frightened. How much do

1537
01:36:17.760 --> 01:36:22.520
you want bert take the yacht? No, the yacht and

1538
01:36:22.640 --> 01:36:25.880
fifty dollars. Only take Deli and me back to San Juan.

1539
01:36:25.960 --> 01:36:28.960
Get the gun out of your hand ride, Replace it

1540
01:36:29.000 --> 01:36:30.000
with a straight Scotch.

1541
01:36:30.119 --> 01:36:30.560
You need it.

1542
01:36:30.880 --> 01:36:32.800
Why didn't you take the yacht and the money last night?

1543
01:36:33.119 --> 01:36:33.840
You had the chance.

1544
01:36:34.359 --> 01:36:36.760
Deli and I were ashore in San Juan. You know

1545
01:36:36.880 --> 01:36:40.479
the combination to the safe. I even trusted you that much.

1546
01:36:41.199 --> 01:36:41.239
You.

1547
01:36:43.279 --> 01:36:49.720
Oh, it's Delia you want. That's up to Delia. She

1548
01:36:49.840 --> 01:36:53.600
can come along with me if she wants to. You see,

1549
01:36:53.640 --> 01:36:54.600
you underestimate me.

1550
01:36:54.800 --> 01:36:55.039
Ride.

1551
01:36:55.199 --> 01:36:58.479
Any chess player knows that's bad. The insurance company has

1552
01:36:58.560 --> 01:37:01.760
blueprints of this yacht. It's cut made very distinctive. I'd

1553
01:37:01.840 --> 01:37:03.640
be picked up at the first port. Then what do

1554
01:37:03.680 --> 01:37:06.399
you intend to do? You might have known I'd give

1555
01:37:06.399 --> 01:37:10.800
you a sporting chance. How is your chess game today, Rod?

1556
01:37:11.600 --> 01:37:13.920
Is that your idea of a sporting chance?

1557
01:37:14.119 --> 01:37:14.520
That's right?

1558
01:37:15.680 --> 01:37:18.520
One game when I take all the yacht, the contents

1559
01:37:18.600 --> 01:37:22.720
of the safe and well. I like that be part

1560
01:37:22.760 --> 01:37:25.520
of a chess game, the Queen, my dear, But this

1561
01:37:25.680 --> 01:37:29.439
is no time for chivalry. You could lose, you know, Bert,

1562
01:37:29.560 --> 01:37:32.079
I do you give me fair back to the States.

1563
01:37:32.159 --> 01:37:34.520
But if I win, you give me a bill of

1564
01:37:34.600 --> 01:37:36.760
sale of the golden penny and a signed statement that

1565
01:37:36.840 --> 01:37:38.560
I won the money in a game of skill.

1566
01:37:40.239 --> 01:37:43.600
A deal, all the deal I can expect. I guess

1567
01:37:44.600 --> 01:37:47.319
all right, Bert, you're on good. Take the wheel? Did

1568
01:37:47.560 --> 01:37:49.680
but I wouldn't know what to do with didn't you know? Okay,

1569
01:37:50.600 --> 01:38:02.680
just cut the engine and heave two. This is it,

1570
01:38:02.880 --> 01:38:05.600
isn't it? Burnt everything just the way you've planned it.

1571
01:38:06.439 --> 01:38:08.439
You're confident as the two of you set up the

1572
01:38:08.520 --> 01:38:12.039
chess game right there in the pilot house. Delia now

1573
01:38:12.159 --> 01:38:17.039
opening your ally, watches silently as the game progresses. After

1574
01:38:17.159 --> 01:38:20.960
more than an hour, you have Rod exactly where you

1575
01:38:21.199 --> 01:38:21.520
want it.

1576
01:38:23.039 --> 01:38:25.720
It doesn't look too good for me, doesn't it. But

1577
01:38:25.800 --> 01:38:27.600
I beat you once before when you had me like this.

1578
01:38:27.800 --> 01:38:30.640
Remember mm hmm, it took eight hours in a long

1579
01:38:30.720 --> 01:38:32.640
walk around the estate between plays.

1580
01:38:32.399 --> 01:38:32.720
To do it.

1581
01:38:34.039 --> 01:38:36.479
How about giving me fifteen minutes and I walk around

1582
01:38:36.560 --> 01:38:37.279
the deck this time.

1583
01:38:37.399 --> 01:38:40.880
Sure, go ahead, fifteen minutes it is if you aren't

1584
01:38:40.960 --> 01:38:44.079
back and moved in that time, and I'll concede the

1585
01:38:44.199 --> 01:38:45.119
game is yours.

1586
01:38:45.920 --> 01:38:49.079
Fifteen minutes. Then I'll be right here waiting for you.

1587
01:39:00.239 --> 01:39:08.720
Time's up, according to my watch. Well I'm licked, Bert,

1588
01:39:08.840 --> 01:39:12.359
and I know it. Best man won and all that

1589
01:39:12.439 --> 01:39:16.399
sort of thing. He is the best man, isn't he Delier?

1590
01:39:17.319 --> 01:39:20.079
I think so, both of you.

1591
01:39:21.640 --> 01:39:23.960
Well, I hand you that pen and paper from the desk,

1592
01:39:24.000 --> 01:39:27.079
and I'll make this piracy on the high seas legal.

1593
01:39:29.680 --> 01:39:39.880
This is to certify that I roden cremont or value

1594
01:39:41.239 --> 01:39:48.199
received to sell to Bert from flowing.

1595
01:39:49.359 --> 01:39:50.359
My yard.

1596
01:39:51.600 --> 01:39:56.680
The golden penny, and all.

1597
01:40:04.479 --> 01:40:06.720
Decent of you to offer me the shore boat and

1598
01:40:06.960 --> 01:40:08.079
five gallons of gas.

1599
01:40:08.199 --> 01:40:10.079
Don't forget the only way to get rid of you?

1600
01:40:10.800 --> 01:40:11.119
All right?

1601
01:40:11.159 --> 01:40:18.399
Then you go, yeah, I'll help lower him. Good you say?

1602
01:40:18.800 --> 01:40:22.119
If I head you south from here, i'll hit sand

1603
01:40:22.199 --> 01:40:28.439
what can't miss it by more than six inches by eyes?

1604
01:40:29.319 --> 01:40:29.720
Thanks?

1605
01:40:31.159 --> 01:40:34.399
Well, goodbye, no heart needs.

1606
01:40:36.560 --> 01:40:37.199
Are you kidding?

1607
01:40:38.000 --> 01:40:52.319
Of course not. The whistler will return in just a

1608
01:40:52.399 --> 01:41:02.159
moment with a strange ending to tonight's story. Well, Bert,

1609
01:41:02.239 --> 01:41:02.840
it's over.

1610
01:41:02.920 --> 01:41:05.159
You and Delia stand arm in arm on the deck

1611
01:41:05.199 --> 01:41:08.279
of the Golden Penny, peering out under the horizon until

1612
01:41:08.319 --> 01:41:11.600
the shoreboat bearing Rodney tremont to San Juan becomes a

1613
01:41:11.640 --> 01:41:16.119
speck in the South Atlantic and then disappears entirely. Everything's

1614
01:41:16.199 --> 01:41:19.319
gone just as you planned, hasn't it. Bert, The Golden Penny,

1615
01:41:19.680 --> 01:41:22.560
the contents of the cabin, safe and Delia, they're all

1616
01:41:22.680 --> 01:41:25.760
yours now, just as you knew they would be. Now

1617
01:41:25.840 --> 01:41:28.079
you're certain the ports of the world are yours too,

1618
01:41:28.479 --> 01:41:30.319
to enter and leave whenever you like.

1619
01:41:33.159 --> 01:41:35.840
Oh goodness, where did that wind come from?

1620
01:41:36.119 --> 01:41:36.159
No?

1621
01:41:38.520 --> 01:41:41.760
Oh, that sky to the north and east. Oh it's

1622
01:41:42.000 --> 01:41:45.600
so black, Bert, storm all right, Alulu, Oh we can

1623
01:41:45.680 --> 01:41:47.079
ride it out. No, you're trying to run from it.

1624
01:41:47.439 --> 01:41:49.439
Have to head into it at full power. Allow the

1625
01:41:49.479 --> 01:41:51.359
engine room, I'll get it started. Oh Bert, will it

1626
01:41:51.399 --> 01:41:51.800
be all right?

1627
01:41:52.199 --> 01:41:54.399
Well, baby, only hurry along now you'll get to sixty

1628
01:41:54.439 --> 01:41:55.000
five foot.

1629
01:41:54.840 --> 01:41:56.960
Arm away before the storm hits forward in real trouble.

1630
01:41:57.520 --> 01:41:58.920
I'm frightened, Bertie.

1631
01:41:59.319 --> 01:42:02.119
After everything we did to rod you never make it

1632
01:42:02.239 --> 01:42:04.039
to Sandlan at the rate this thing's blowing up.

1633
01:42:04.520 --> 01:42:08.920
Better off with me, baby, and just a diesel's Pettan mention. Ah,

1634
01:42:09.199 --> 01:42:14.680
here we go. Now, say baby, you got anything to

1635
01:42:14.800 --> 01:42:15.239
worry about?

1636
01:42:15.439 --> 01:42:15.600
Oh?

1637
01:42:15.880 --> 01:42:18.039
Thanks, we'll make it now, hit it full power?

1638
01:42:20.079 --> 01:42:21.159
What is it?

1639
01:42:21.199 --> 01:42:27.760
What's wrong? I don't know for a minute. You see

1640
01:42:27.800 --> 01:42:28.560
to begin any fuel?

1641
01:42:28.680 --> 01:42:29.159
It's funny.

1642
01:42:30.079 --> 01:42:31.199
I take a look at fuel line.

1643
01:42:34.760 --> 01:42:35.159
I'll be.

1644
01:42:37.520 --> 01:42:37.960
Thirties.

1645
01:42:39.720 --> 01:42:40.199
It's sugar.

1646
01:42:40.399 --> 01:42:41.079
What sugar?

1647
01:42:41.439 --> 01:42:43.800
Lots of it in the gravity tank, Hubert. Look they're

1648
01:42:43.880 --> 01:42:49.600
on the floor of that book. There's a note on it. Thanks.

1649
01:42:50.800 --> 01:42:54.520
They're giving me fifteen minutes and that tip about sugar.

1650
01:42:55.680 --> 01:42:57.119
This was the only move I could think of in

1651
01:42:57.199 --> 01:42:59.720
your manual on diesel engines was most helpful. I'm taking

1652
01:42:59.720 --> 01:43:00.960
them from the safe two.

1653
01:43:01.079 --> 01:43:03.159
From what you said about these waters, I don't think

1654
01:43:03.199 --> 01:43:08.960
you will have much use for money. Goodbye, and no

1655
01:43:09.199 --> 01:43:10.520
hard feelings, Eh.

1656
01:43:52.720 --> 01:43:58.319
My dear, you seem a bit peakad. I'll get more

1657
01:43:58.439 --> 01:44:03.720
tea going, perhaps some sugar this time, something to bring

1658
01:44:03.840 --> 01:44:10.319
the color back to your cheeks. There we go, a

1659
01:44:10.520 --> 01:44:14.600
nice hot cup of caring and kindness.

1660
01:44:15.279 --> 01:44:15.680
Just for you.

1661
01:44:17.680 --> 01:44:21.119
You're going to be just fine. Your eyes will be

1662
01:44:21.239 --> 01:44:26.119
bright again, your skin will be pink and lively yet again.

1663
01:44:27.159 --> 01:44:31.359
A few more SIPs and before you know it, you

1664
01:44:32.520 --> 01:44:35.239
my dear will be clear for action.

1665
01:44:37.800 --> 01:44:42.960
Tired of the everyday crime, have a dream of a

1666
01:44:43.119 --> 01:44:49.960
life of romantic adventure, want to get away from it all?

1667
01:44:51.520 --> 01:44:52.199
We offer you.

1668
01:44:54.079 --> 01:45:01.720
Escape, escape, designed to free you from the four walls

1669
01:45:01.760 --> 01:45:04.479
of today for a half hour of high adventure.

1670
01:45:18.319 --> 01:45:21.119
You are in command of a ship sailing with sealed

1671
01:45:21.239 --> 01:45:26.279
orders into an ocean throught with danger, while the enemy

1672
01:45:26.399 --> 01:45:29.560
whom you seek is lying in wait for the moment

1673
01:45:29.680 --> 01:45:32.239
when they will close in and strike.

1674
01:45:32.920 --> 01:45:35.600
Leaving you no escape.

1675
01:45:36.439 --> 01:45:40.199
Listen now, as escape brings you Anthony Ellis's exciting story

1676
01:45:40.760 --> 01:45:41.920
Clear for action.

1677
01:46:06.680 --> 01:46:12.600
I mean, oh, I used to figure, captain that's started.

1678
01:46:13.399 --> 01:46:16.720
Do you how long do we require the ready your

1679
01:46:16.800 --> 01:46:17.560
ship for guilty?

1680
01:46:18.600 --> 01:46:22.520
As long as it takes me to hal Ancors convoy.

1681
01:46:22.600 --> 01:46:24.079
Mister secretary, that isn't that.

1682
01:46:26.680 --> 01:46:28.239
You are familiar with these waters.

1683
01:46:28.920 --> 01:46:31.319
I know the Caribbean as well as my own quarterdecks.

1684
01:46:31.319 --> 01:46:36.279
Actually, somewhere in these waters there is a French group

1685
01:46:36.359 --> 01:46:41.439
of war. They are four all available reports she carried

1686
01:46:41.479 --> 01:46:44.439
twenty guns more or lett, and she has taken or

1687
01:46:44.520 --> 01:46:46.239
sunk at least ten of our merchantmen.

1688
01:46:47.359 --> 01:46:48.279
She have to be stopped.

1689
01:46:49.239 --> 01:46:51.119
We can have at this time a court war with

1690
01:46:51.239 --> 01:46:56.680
either France or England. Therefore you will under no conditions attack,

1691
01:46:57.399 --> 01:46:59.960
and that absolute proof is offered of an aggression against

1692
01:47:00.079 --> 01:47:00.680
one of our.

1693
01:47:00.600 --> 01:47:06.800
Ship or your own ah exactly, But she'd hardly be

1694
01:47:06.960 --> 01:47:09.399
likely to open fire on her merchant one under our noses.

1695
01:47:09.880 --> 01:47:19.720
She was not captain that those are your others, Yes, sir,

1696
01:47:19.760 --> 01:47:22.239
when do I sail says, you will proceed with all

1697
01:47:22.279 --> 01:47:23.800
haste to the Bahamas Group vicinity.

1698
01:47:24.399 --> 01:47:27.119
The half seemed to operate from a base situated near.

1699
01:47:27.000 --> 01:47:28.640
The very well said I.

1700
01:47:30.439 --> 01:47:31.359

1726
01:49:37.359 --> 01:49:39.680
I don't like it, Captain. She must have seen our

1727
01:49:39.760 --> 01:49:42.960
colors by now. She's laying a course to pass within range.

1728
01:49:43.039 --> 01:49:44.640
Probably wants to hail us nothing more.

1729

Very well?

1746
01:51:06.159 --> 01:51:09.079
Sir? He's a princess, Sir, that would be weird.

1747
01:51:09.159 --> 01:51:12.079
Admiral Gray, Flagship of the West Indies FA and huh,

1748
01:51:12.479 --> 01:51:14.840
you'll no doubt he wanted to put a first gang aboorder.

1749
01:51:14.920 --> 01:51:18.079
Don't worry, Duncan. I served with them once, and.

1750
01:51:18.159 --> 01:51:20.239
I'll happily kill the first man who tries to make

1751
01:51:20.279 --> 01:51:20.760
me do it again.

1752
01:51:20.920 --> 01:51:22.520
The only way any of my men leave the ship

1753
01:51:22.640 --> 01:51:25.399
is over my dead buddy. Have the men stand a quarters?

1754
01:51:25.439 --> 01:51:25.680
Coming?

1755
01:51:26.000 --> 01:51:28.319
Is you're not going to pipe them over the side?

1756
01:51:28.359 --> 01:51:28.800
Are you say?

1757
01:51:29.039 --> 01:51:29.720
I am not?

1758
01:51:29.960 --> 01:51:30.319
Duncan?

1759
01:51:34.520 --> 01:51:37.880
Yeah, here they come. Will you look at that pip

1760
01:51:37.960 --> 01:51:39.239
squeeze standing at the start?

1761
01:51:39.520 --> 01:51:44.239
Perfect That Duncan is an officer of His Majesty's navy.

1762
01:51:44.359 --> 01:51:47.159
Hey, the loos has always been glued together.

1763
01:51:52.279 --> 01:51:55.920
Duncan controlled yourself. Not a word out of you. That's

1764
01:51:55.960 --> 01:51:57.720
an r ay, sir.

1765
01:52:03.039 --> 01:52:05.760
Captain Steel, Yes, the.

1766
01:52:05.840 --> 01:52:08.199
Turn simpsum of his medicines ship consis what.

1767
01:52:08.279 --> 01:52:08.880
Can I do for you?

1768
01:52:08.960 --> 01:52:10.399
Lieutenant, I shall come to the pointer.

1769
01:52:11.079 --> 01:52:12.239
What are you doing in these waters?

1770
01:52:12.640 --> 01:52:15.000
I do not say that that concerns you. Lieutenant.

1771
01:52:15.199 --> 01:52:18.199
England is the water any Egyptian turned up? So I

1772
01:52:18.279 --> 01:52:20.239
have noticed exactly what do you mean by.

1773
01:52:20.159 --> 01:52:22.800
That, Captain, only that my government has been well aware

1774
01:52:22.840 --> 01:52:25.720
of your impressment of American seamen and the British Navy.

1775
01:52:25.880 --> 01:52:28.840
That is a lie We impress only English deserters. A

1776
01:52:28.960 --> 01:52:31.880
questionable point, Lieutenant, and the letter of best Captain. I

1777
01:52:31.920 --> 01:52:33.800
have ordered to set your ship for these foot men.

1778
01:52:33.880 --> 01:52:38.199
Impossible, I big gobdon No, Lieutenant, you may not search.

1779
01:52:39.039 --> 01:52:41.199
This is a worship of the United States Navy. And

1780
01:52:41.359 --> 01:52:43.680
may I remind you that only by my courtesy are

1781
01:52:43.720 --> 01:52:44.760

1782
01:52:45.479 --> 01:52:46.479
I have a viewers other.

1783
01:52:46.520 --> 01:52:49.119
Lieutenant, you may return to your ship. Why, mister mccraig,

1784
01:52:49.159 --> 01:52:51.119

01:52:51.239 --> 01:52:53.199
Hi you keptain him along?

1786
01:52:53.279 --> 01:52:54.479
Lieutenant this position?

1787

Will roton find me that modream?

1788
01:52:56.760 --> 01:52:59.039
Please send my compliments to the Admiral and tell him

1789
01:52:59.039 --> 01:53:01.239
that if I ever catch him my lasting American ships,

1790
01:53:01.239 --> 01:53:02.920
I shall consider it an act of piracy.

1791
01:53:03.239 --> 01:53:04.920
And we'll see that he hangs from his own.

1792
01:53:04.800 --> 01:53:06.520
Yard arm well we review about that.

1793
01:53:06.880 --> 01:53:11.039
Have taken.

1794
01:53:15.560 --> 01:53:20.159
Our guest is away, sir, Yes, mister Gwen, yes, all right,

1795
01:53:20.159 --> 01:53:21.439
squad away. We're wasting time.

1796
01:53:22.399 --> 01:53:24.520
But God that made her and.

1797
01:53:28.640 --> 01:53:32.000
Oh disappointing. We are the open pires.

1798
01:53:32.039 --> 01:53:34.920
She's a wonderful tiget, yes, but so are we, Doggy.

1799
01:53:35.680 --> 01:53:37.640
You'll get your fight, all right, but with a higher

1800
01:53:37.680 --> 01:53:41.960
floor now. I don't want to miss my breakfast. Call

1801
01:53:42.079 --> 01:53:59.159
me when the islands excided, Sir.

1802
01:53:59.319 --> 01:54:01.960
We've been using these islands for two days.

1803
01:54:02.119 --> 01:54:02.279
Now.

1804
01:54:02.560 --> 01:54:04.000
Do you think she'd be lying in so.

1805
01:54:04.119 --> 01:54:07.079
Close the British would have spotted her. I will take

1806
01:54:07.159 --> 01:54:07.760
no chances.

1807
01:54:07.880 --> 01:54:10.479
Jonathan five.

1808
01:54:13.920 --> 01:54:18.760
Seven thats the mccrank well shot and sail again.

1809
01:54:21.560 --> 01:54:24.319
Shows her dangerous here, But Sir, I wonder.

1810
01:54:28.439 --> 01:54:33.439
How there, Jonathan? There beyond that sandspect? I see her, yes,

1811
01:54:33.560 --> 01:54:36.359
but that's not the hard floor on the cut. I

1812
01:54:36.399 --> 01:54:37.840
would judge she's a break.

1813
01:54:39.720 --> 01:54:41.000
I indeed.

1814
01:54:42.880 --> 01:54:45.760
Showing fast or whatever she is, she must be a crown.

1815
01:54:46.680 --> 01:54:48.640
We're running as close as possible. I want to look

1816
01:54:48.680 --> 01:54:55.479
at it, Sir.

1817
01:54:55.600 --> 01:54:56.279
Don't you think it?

1818
01:54:57.119 --> 01:55:01.199
Don't you think that? Yes? Jonathan nothing, sir.

1819
01:55:03.840 --> 01:55:08.239
Oho.

1820
01:55:08.279 --> 01:55:11.680
Afraid he a crow?

1821
01:55:13.840 --> 01:55:14.840

1824
01:55:24.600 --> 01:55:27.880
Turn smith had.

1825
01:55:28.239 --> 01:55:32.840
Yay, come Curt, what's getting tired of? That's the cutter.

1826
01:55:36.199 --> 01:55:39.319
Ship, secure, Sir Jonathan. He will keep us coming with

1827
01:55:39.359 --> 01:55:41.800
a bow chaser. Isser, you think it might not be

1828
01:55:41.840 --> 01:55:43.760
a tap, well it might, but will chance it. Watch

1829
01:55:43.800 --> 01:55:46.199
for my signals. If you're sighted the frenchman put out immediately.

1830
01:55:46.359 --> 01:55:49.279
Isser duncan leave your sea legs here.

1831
01:55:49.359 --> 01:55:51.159
We're going ashore for a little walk.

1832
01:56:00.359 --> 01:56:02.720
We will return to escape in just a moment.

1833
01:56:02.800 --> 01:56:07.199
The first Tomorrow Night The Luck Summer Theater stars Brad McMurray.

1834
01:56:07.840 --> 01:56:10.880
Listen on most of these same CDs radio stations Tomorrow

1835
01:56:11.000 --> 01:56:16.560
Night the Luck Summer Theater, and now back to Escape.

1836
01:56:36.199 --> 01:56:39.119
We're lucky to be alive, I can tell you, making

1837
01:56:39.159 --> 01:56:41.600
as peaceful a voyage as you could wish for. Bound

1838
01:56:41.680 --> 01:56:44.920
home for providence. I may run into a French ship, Harfler.

1839
01:56:45.319 --> 01:56:47.960
We've been searching for her. She hit aur misson when

1840
01:56:48.000 --> 01:56:51.399
we refused to heave too. Luckily Square came up and

1841
01:56:51.439 --> 01:56:51.960
we lost her.

1842
01:56:52.119 --> 01:56:53.439
Are you a fortunate captain?

1843
01:56:53.600 --> 01:56:56.039
I put in here for repairs. We hit the shoulder

1844
01:56:56.039 --> 01:56:58.560
and run aground we're in a mighty prick. How are

1845
01:56:58.600 --> 01:57:02.079
your repairs proceeding? You see you ringing your jewelry mask?

1846
01:57:02.159 --> 01:57:04.079
Now bottom sound right en up?

1847
01:57:04.760 --> 01:57:07.000
And what's a peaceful ship to do? I ask you, sir,

1848
01:57:07.520 --> 01:57:08.439
hard being neutral?

1849
01:57:08.520 --> 01:57:12.520
These days they are difficult times. Captain, however, rest assured

1850
01:57:12.560 --> 01:57:13.680
you will reach port sacred.

1851
01:57:13.960 --> 01:57:16.840
I hope so, sir, I hope so the cargo is valuable.

1852
01:57:18.000 --> 01:57:19.119
She certainly looks trim.

1853
01:57:19.359 --> 01:57:21.039
He's her sweet cramp.

1854
01:57:23.720 --> 01:57:28.680
I wonder, sir, just the thought. Mccraig, that's the fut ah.

1855
01:57:28.920 --> 01:57:33.720
There's my daughter, Your daughter, sir, certainly always sails from me.

1856
01:57:33.960 --> 01:57:39.159
Fine Taylor, Ha ha, Jennifer. I want you to meet

1857
01:57:39.239 --> 01:57:42.600
Captain Steel of the Panther lying out yonder.

01:57:43.039 --> 01:57:45.760
A great there's your captain, Miss Matthews.

1859
01:57:46.039 --> 01:57:47.319
This is Lieutenant mccraig.

You gentlemen are welcome sight Wait, thank you, ma'am.

1861
01:57:50.560 --> 01:57:53.840
The Panthers after that French Ea the half floor she store.

1862
01:57:53.960 --> 01:57:55.640
The father tells me you had a brush with her.

1863
01:57:55.760 --> 01:57:58.399
Oh, yes, that scurvy blasted daughter.

1864
01:58:00.439 --> 01:58:03.039
Forgive me, captain, I forgot that as sure.

1865
01:58:03.239 --> 01:58:05.279
I am a lady, or at least supposed to be.

1866
01:58:06.560 --> 01:58:10.800
Oh I maam, I hadn't noticed otherwise, that, sir.

1867
01:58:10.760 --> 01:58:12.920
Is the prettiest speech I have heard nigh on to

1868
01:58:13.000 --> 01:58:13.560
eight months.

1869
01:58:15.560 --> 01:58:18.399
Captain Matthews, may we go aboard your vessel? Oh course,

1870
01:58:18.479 --> 01:58:20.600
I should like to proably discuss the situation with you.

1871
01:58:35.520 --> 01:58:51.560
Got a brandy thank you, yes, your help and yourself. Now, Captain,

1872
01:58:52.359 --> 01:58:54.960
how would you like to square account with the hot work?

1873
01:58:57.520 --> 01:58:58.439
I should like that.

1874
01:58:59.039 --> 01:59:00.880
I should like that better very well when a plan

1875
01:59:00.960 --> 01:59:04.039
occurred to me. You're sure? I must warn you, though,

1876
01:59:04.079 --> 01:59:06.119
that there's an element of danger both to you and

1877
01:59:06.640 --> 01:59:07.119
your ship.

1878
01:59:07.359 --> 01:59:10.840
Without your presence here, we'd probably never see America again.

1879
01:59:11.199 --> 01:59:13.479
A Frenchman still searching for us with no doubt.

1880
01:59:13.600 --> 01:59:18.399
Yes exactly. But let us suppose that you became a decoy,

1881
01:59:18.760 --> 01:59:20.279
the bait in the sea.

1882
01:59:20.359 --> 01:59:20.640
Trap.

1883
01:59:21.279 --> 01:59:23.800
Go on, go on, I think we may safely presume

1884
01:59:23.880 --> 01:59:25.920
that har Flour does not know of the existence of

1885
01:59:26.000 --> 01:59:29.039
my ship here in the Caribbean. Now, with your permission,

1886
01:59:29.199 --> 01:59:30.319
I proposed.

1887
01:59:47.119 --> 01:59:56.039
Herefo we're not done, HEDI boson, Well done? All right,

1888
01:59:56.199 --> 01:59:59.760

So thank you mister mcquick handsomly, mister handsomely, A round

1890
02:00:04.000 --> 02:00:07.119
of grug p men with my compliment, Hi, sir, thank you, sir,

1891
02:00:07.439 --> 02:00:11.760
I'll see to it. Poor guns, Captain, poor guns where

1892
02:00:11.800 --> 02:00:12.800
they should be none.

1893
02:00:12.720 --> 02:00:15.479
Yes, but they must remain well hidden until needed. I

1894
02:00:15.640 --> 02:00:18.159
couldn't have believed it. Poor guns from your own ship

1895
02:00:18.239 --> 02:00:22.279
to the old Salem. Oh, that frenchman. We shall see, sir.

1896
02:00:23.000 --> 02:00:26.039
And now I suggest that we observe Miss Jennifer's progress below.

1897
02:00:26.159 --> 02:00:26.399
And I.

1898
02:00:28.720 --> 02:00:33.840

Captain?

1902
02:00:45.279 --> 02:00:50.880
A delightful sight, Mistress Quinn, my compliments, Oh, sir, Miss Jennifer.

1903
02:00:50.920 --> 02:00:53.000
There is no seamstress in Boston to equal you.

Que Thank you.

1905
02:00:54.479 --> 02:00:54.880

We shall go over the planetain, mister mcraig beMore, if

1907
02:01:02.119 --> 02:01:08.000
you please er ah now, then mister Quinn and I

1908
02:01:08.159 --> 02:01:10.159
will stay aboard the Salem with Captain Matthews.

1909
02:01:10.720 --> 02:01:11.960
I will secure gun decks.

1910
02:01:13.840 --> 02:01:18.279
Why, mister Queen, what a perfectly beautiful gang.

1911
02:01:18.600 --> 02:01:20.600
Mister Quinn is aware of his beauty. We have business,

1912
02:01:20.640 --> 02:01:24.079
mister mcraig, Isa wishall need twenty good men from the

1913
02:01:24.159 --> 02:01:26.680
Panther besides the gun cruise already will to support the Salem.

1914
02:01:27.319 --> 02:01:29.319
Mister mccraik he will be in command of the panther

1915
02:01:29.720 --> 02:01:32.199
if possible, remain within mass head side of us, Isaac.

1916
02:01:32.720 --> 02:01:37.359
Miss Jennifer will sail with you, hi, Isaac, Yes, mister Quinn,

1917
02:01:37.359 --> 02:01:39.880
and the gun cruise will be dressed in female costume

1918
02:01:40.000 --> 02:01:42.920
and will make themselves plain to sight on deck. I

1919
02:01:43.039 --> 02:01:45.239
hope that will lull the frenchmen into a sense of

1920
02:01:45.319 --> 02:01:47.760
security and trust that they will not run out their guns.

1921
02:01:47.840 --> 02:01:48.680
Good, good God.

1922
02:01:49.319 --> 02:01:52.399
The Salem's for cannon will be hidden, and to all appearances,

1923
02:01:52.479 --> 02:01:54.359
she is still the peaceful merchantman.

1924
02:01:54.600 --> 02:01:56.680
And this time when the half flew as siss we

1925
02:01:56.880 --> 02:01:57.279
he too.

1926
02:01:57.520 --> 02:02:01.079
Yes, correct, you'll no doubt send the boarding part, and

1927
02:02:01.199 --> 02:02:05.119
then our ladies engage the borders, supported by myself and

1928
02:02:05.199 --> 02:02:05.760
the rest of the men.

1929
02:02:07.399 --> 02:02:10.119
And I think that is all it is to be hoped, gentlemen,

1930
02:02:10.199 --> 02:02:13.439
that after these preparations, your enemy obliges with her present.

1931

Ah, this waiting, and if she's still in these waters, Captain,

1953
02:04:01.960 --> 02:04:02.439
we'll find it.

1954
02:04:02.960 --> 02:04:05.119
Never thought I'd be praying to see a French ship,

1955
02:04:05.159 --> 02:04:06.520
but at this minute I give.

1956
02:04:11.399 --> 02:04:15.119

Yes, that's her, that's our ship. All right, let's the queen.

1959
02:04:23.520 --> 02:04:25.199
Keep the man away from the guns. We want to

1960
02:04:25.279 --> 02:04:26.479
arouse no suspicion.

1961
02:04:27.279 --> 02:04:27.840
You've seen us.

1962
02:04:27.960 --> 02:04:31.920
She's taking over young men below. We've sighted the chase

1963
02:04:31.960 --> 02:04:32.800
standing quarters.

1964
02:04:32.840 --> 02:04:35.399
I want no sound until I give the signal.

1965
02:04:48.319 --> 02:04:51.600
Helm, we'll broach two. They can think we're rattled and

1966
02:04:51.640 --> 02:04:54.640
clumsy and trying to put about right. That'll bring our

1967
02:04:54.680 --> 02:04:57.359
guns to bear on the starboard side. Captain good, good,

1968
02:04:58.560 --> 02:04:59.800

1969
02:05:04.640 --> 02:05:04.800

1972
02:05:12.439 --> 02:05:12.640
Yeah?

Yeah that's better, thank you, sir.

1978
02:05:35.439 --> 02:05:38.479
That pistol lieutenant makes the bulge where it seems to

1979
02:05:38.560 --> 02:05:45.760
me no bulls should be. Oh better, sir. You're a

1980
02:05:45.880 --> 02:05:49.439
picture of femininity. Now as soon as the heart floor

1981
02:05:49.520 --> 02:05:52.359
comes up, we heat too. Have you been very distracted?

1982
02:05:53.359 --> 02:05:55.479
In other words, behave like women, mister.

1983
02:05:55.720 --> 02:05:58.680
In the line of duty in seeing you order it, sir.

1984

02:06:21.279 --> 02:06:24.760

02:06:24.800 --> 02:06:27.039
already put over a longboat and another one's coming around

1991
02:06:27.039 --> 02:06:29.640

He's hot, that's the.

2008

2009
02:07:39.800 --> 02:07:40.840
He's running out of guns.
