[2:30] Speaker 6: Sitting up with a sick ads you recovered suddenly, Simon,
[2:34] Speaker 6: I need help desperately.
[2:36] Speaker 5: Why because I'm dead?
[2:38] Speaker 3: You're why dead? Oh? Well, of course some of my.
[2:42] Speaker 5: Best friends, Simon. My name is Francis Blake.
[2:45] Speaker 6: Here read this that little item down in the corner
[2:49] Speaker 6: under obituaries.
[2:51] Speaker 4: Obituaries says here that the body of Francis Blake is
[2:57] Speaker 4: at the rest will Chapel very ill at noon tomorrow.
[3:01] Speaker 5: You see the newspaper say that I'm dead.
[3:04] Speaker 3: Yeah, but I don't know whether to believe them or not.
[3:07] Speaker 4: You are Francis plat of course I am.
[3:10] Speaker 3: Give me a moment, all right, thank you?
[3:14] Speaker 5: Now, Simon, what are you tho?
[3:17] Speaker 3: I thank your pardon.
[3:18] Speaker 5: You pinched me?
[3:20] Speaker 3: Yeah, well I had to make sure I wasn't dreaming.
[3:23] Speaker 6: But you're supposed to pinch yourself if you think you're dreaming.
[3:26] Speaker 3: I know, but this way was more fun. Also, I
[3:29] Speaker 3: never heard a corpse say ouch before. Therefore you're not dead.
[3:33] Speaker 5: I already knew that I didn't.
[3:35] Speaker 4: Now that that's settled, I think perhaps we ought to
[3:37] Speaker 4: go visit visit who your corpse?
[3:53] Speaker 2: Taxy?
[3:54] Speaker 5: Taxy?
[4:00] Speaker 2: Hey, your night rain up right?
[4:02] Speaker 7: Never mind, Louis, Oh, mister Temple. Had I have known
[4:05] Speaker 7: it was you, I wouldn't have bothered with the whims.
[4:07] Speaker 3: Had I known it was you, I just wouldn't have bothered. However, friends,
[4:11] Speaker 3: thank you.
[4:14] Speaker 4: Louis should perhaps be explained he's a cab driver. I
[4:17] Speaker 4: try to avoid I rarely succeed, which proves to me
[4:21] Speaker 4: that my life isn't all that it should be.
[4:23] Speaker 5: Keep it clean?
[4:24] Speaker 2: And where at this hour of the night are you
[4:26] Speaker 2: going the rest?
[4:27] Speaker 3: Will chapel?
[4:27] Speaker 5: Get another cat?
[4:28] Speaker 3: Louie?
[4:29] Speaker 8: Okay, okay, some sport takes a girl to see a
[4:35] Speaker 8: funeral pollow in the.
[4:36] Speaker 3: Middle of the night. I'm ready taking her home.
[4:38] Speaker 5: She lives in a funeral pollom.
[4:40] Speaker 3: She's dead in a funeral parlor. Wo's dead, mis plague?
[4:43] Speaker 5: Ah me excuse me, But Louise.
[4:46] Speaker 4: Don't take your hand will I already did so? She
[4:50] Speaker 4: said out personally.
[4:52] Speaker 8: I would have liked to find out for myself. But
[4:54] Speaker 8: if you say so, I do.
[4:56] Speaker 7: I'll take your word for it. Only how are you
[4:58] Speaker 7: gonna explain to the funeral palla riding around in cabs?
[5:01] Speaker 3: Simple?
[5:02] Speaker 4: I am apparently the kind of a man a girl
[5:04] Speaker 4: wouldn't mind being seen dead.
[5:05] Speaker 8: With the rest while chapel at your surface. Louis, I know, wait,
[5:29] Speaker 8: but I'm telling you one thing.
[5:30] Speaker 7: Considering the type of company you're keeping, I ain't waiting
[5:33] Speaker 7: until nobody plays no hot links in a trumpet.
[5:35] Speaker 3: I don't think you'll have to come along, Francis.
[5:42] Speaker 6: I've been trying to pretend to myself that it's all
[5:45] Speaker 6: some kind of a joke.
[5:46] Speaker 5: But that funeral parlor looks too real.
[5:50] Speaker 3: We'll find out soon enough. One nice thing about funeral pilors.
[5:53] Speaker 3: They're always open.
[5:55] Speaker 5: That you call nice.
[5:57] Speaker 3: You have a point there. Listen to that doorbell chopin at.
[6:02] Speaker 7: Least, ah, I beg your pardon, I said, ah, ah.
[6:11] Speaker 3: Come in, Francis.
[6:14] Speaker 4: This is an hour that comes to all, except in
[6:17] Speaker 4: states that don't have daylight saving. I.
[6:20] Speaker 9: Sir, was referring to your bereavement. Ah, whom are you mourning?
[6:26] Speaker 9: We would like to look at, Francis Blake. The hour
[6:29] Speaker 9: is late, but grief knows no clock. Good Heaven's an apogram.
[6:34] Speaker 10: Who we try, sir? If you'll follow me, thank you. Ah,
[6:44] Speaker 10: Here we are, and there.
[6:46] Speaker 3: She is beautiful isn't she very.
[6:52] Speaker 5: Simon?
[6:53] Speaker 4: She does look like me a little bit, but hardly
[6:56] Speaker 4: enough to explain. How did she get here, miss Blakeman?
[7:00] Speaker 4: The police brought her? Oh, I see who identified her?
[7:05] Speaker 9: That was highly necessary. Her coat over there in the
[7:07] Speaker 9: corner side.
[7:08] Speaker 10: Wait a minute, Frances, what about her coat? It had
[7:11] Speaker 10: her name on the label. Now I shall withdraw. You
[7:15] Speaker 10: will want to be alone with your grief.
[7:17] Speaker 4: All right, But make a sound withdrawing, please, so we'll
[7:21] Speaker 4: know you're withdrawn, really.
[7:22] Speaker 9: Sir, it's no use jesting the dead never laugh.
[7:30] Speaker 5: Well he's withdrawn, Simon. That's my coat. It is mine, Simon.
[7:35] Speaker 3: But look, yes, two holes in the front of it.
[7:39] Speaker 3: Bullet holes.
[7:40] Speaker 5: Bullet holes.
[7:41] Speaker 4: The girl here, whoever she is, was murdered. Come on,
[7:45] Speaker 4: we better get out, all right.
[7:46] Speaker 6: But I'm taking my coat. I don't think it's mine,
[7:49] Speaker 6: not hers. It belongs to me, even though she was
[7:52] Speaker 6: murdered in it, Simon.
[8:08] Speaker 5: What was that girl doing with Michael.
[8:10] Speaker 3: Wearing it when she was shot?
[8:11] Speaker 4: Presumably there's another question, perhaps a more important one.
[8:15] Speaker 3: Why was she shot in the first place?
[8:17] Speaker 5: I suppose she had enemies?
[8:19] Speaker 3: Have you again?
[8:20] Speaker 4: Yeah, we're back again, Francis, Thank you, little lady lost
[8:24] Speaker 4: the place.
[8:25] Speaker 5: Francis, where do you live the Thornton town? Simon?
[8:32] Speaker 3: Back there?
[8:34] Speaker 5: Why did you ask if I had any enemies?
[8:36] Speaker 3: The coat's a distinctive one.
[8:37] Speaker 5: It's a very colorful play.
[8:39] Speaker 4: Yes, the girl back at the funeral parlor was murdered
[8:42] Speaker 4: while wearing it. The question comes to was her wearing
[8:45] Speaker 4: the coat when she was killed merely a coincidence or
[8:48] Speaker 4: was she killed because her murderer thought she was you?
[9:06] Speaker 7: London Pollas And here you are, Louis, And I know,
[9:12] Speaker 7: don't wait on the kind of you're shitting up with
[9:14] Speaker 7: a dead friend. Good Night, Louis, good night, good night folks.
[9:22] Speaker 6: Oh, Simon, it's so good to be back home. My
[9:29] Speaker 6: apartment's down the corridor. Simon, I feel terrible.
[9:34] Speaker 3: No, you needn't.
[9:35] Speaker 6: But what you said in the cab, she was wearing
[9:38] Speaker 6: my coat, a very distinctive one, and then she was
[9:41] Speaker 6: shot to death.
[9:42] Speaker 5: That girl is dead because of me.
[9:44] Speaker 3: Oh, we don't really know that.
[9:45] Speaker 5: It must be so somebody thought she was me and
[9:48] Speaker 5: killed him.
[9:48] Speaker 6: That's possible. Then that means that somebody wants to kill me.
[9:56] Speaker 3: This is your doing.
[9:58] Speaker 5: Oh, yes, of.
[10:01] Speaker 4: Course, it's also possible that someone didn't like the coat,
[10:04] Speaker 4: And hey, did you leave your lights on when you left?
[10:07] Speaker 3: No, there's a light in the room ahead.
[10:09] Speaker 5: That's the living room you used to hear in the hall.
[10:11] Speaker 3: I'll go ahead and see who it is.
[10:13] Speaker 4: I just want to make sure they're neutral on the
[10:15] Speaker 4: subject of plaid coats or you.
[10:23] Speaker 5: Hello, hello, ah, how she was beautiful? Your wife?
[10:29] Speaker 6: My?
[10:29] Speaker 5: What your wife? It's her picture on the desk there, No.
[10:33] Speaker 3: Manda does seem to be a picture of Francis.
[10:36] Speaker 5: And your name?
[10:37] Speaker 3: She is my name, Simon.
[10:39] Speaker 5: Ah. It is a name that fills herself with the soul.
[10:43] Speaker 11: No, No, I knew that tonight, of all nights, you
[10:48] Speaker 11: would be lonely.
[10:49] Speaker 3: Believe me, I'm not lone.
[10:50] Speaker 5: I am here.
[10:52] Speaker 11: Or your wife, she must have been a wonderful woman.
[10:57] Speaker 11: Your life with her was the magnificence.
[11:00] Speaker 4: No chamber music would probably be more accurate if you
[11:04] Speaker 4: and now that.
[11:05] Speaker 5: She is the last gone, I am.
[11:09] Speaker 4: Here without even a pause for station identification.
[11:13] Speaker 3: Look, who are you?
[11:15] Speaker 5: I am? Olga, Simon? Who is she?
[11:19] Speaker 3: Alga?
[11:20] Speaker 5: Who is she?
[11:21] Speaker 3: Francis? And now that you too have met waiting.
[11:24] Speaker 11: A moment, huh aha, I look on the picture. I'll
[11:28] Speaker 11: look on the flash, the flash of which I might adding,
[11:32] Speaker 11: your wife is perhaps carrying a little too much here
[11:36] Speaker 11: and there, especially there now just a man.
[11:40] Speaker 3: It wasn't point alga bad man is.
[11:42] Speaker 5: But I am seeing your wife. She is not dead.
[11:45] Speaker 4: She isn't. That is Francis isn't. If you like, you
[11:48] Speaker 4: could try pinching her hair.
[11:49] Speaker 11: I never pinch except boys. Simon, you are disappointing me.
[11:55] Speaker 8: Goodbye.
[11:58] Speaker 3: That was quite a performance personally.
[12:00] Speaker 5: I didn't care for her cadenza.
[12:02] Speaker 4: Oh I don't know. It was a nice cadenza, and
[12:05] Speaker 4: the two D was definitely fruity, that is if Francis.
[12:09] Speaker 4: The whole thing was camouflaged for what. Take a look
[12:11] Speaker 4: at the room. The room, Oh yes, it looks as
[12:14] Speaker 4: if a junior hurricane had visited it.
[12:17] Speaker 5: You mean somebody of all go searched the room?
[12:19] Speaker 3: Uh huh? This one? And yeah, the bedroom as well.
[12:25] Speaker 5: But simon, what was she looking for?
[12:27] Speaker 4: I don't know, whatever it was, didn't find it. Our
[12:30] Speaker 4: entrance stopped her search.
[12:32] Speaker 5: Well, i'd better start straightening things up a bit.
[12:34] Speaker 3: Good idea, I'll help you.
[12:35] Speaker 5: Well. Shouldn't you be going home?
[12:37] Speaker 3: Oh?
[12:37] Speaker 4: I don't think so. You may get some more visitors later.
[12:40] Speaker 4: On and rougher ones than Alga. Why, maybe they'll tell
[12:43] Speaker 4: us if we asked them prettily.
[12:45] Speaker 3: In the meanwhile, Yes, Simon, we can practice the overture
[12:49] Speaker 3: to that symphony Alga mentioned.
[13:06] Speaker 5: Simon. Yes, it's getting awfully late.
[13:09] Speaker 3: Yes, I know.
[13:10] Speaker 5: We really can't sit up all night waiting for someone
[13:12] Speaker 5: to come. We don't even know for sure that someone will.
[13:15] Speaker 3: I'll go got into this apartment, and someone else did.
[13:18] Speaker 5: Before her, someone else.
[13:20] Speaker 3: Of course, your coat was stolen, wasn't it.
[13:23] Speaker 5: Well, I suppose, but not from the apartment side.
[13:26] Speaker 3: Not from where was it stolen from?
[13:28] Speaker 6: I can't be sure, of course, But I gave that
[13:31] Speaker 6: coat to the cleaning shop down the block about a
[13:33] Speaker 6: week ago.
[13:33] Speaker 3: Cleaning shop, what's the name of it?
[13:35] Speaker 5: The car to cleaners? Why?
[13:37] Speaker 4: Because evidently it started out from there to wind up
[13:40] Speaker 4: on a murdered girl's body. Therefore, come on, we're gonna, yes,
[13:44] Speaker 4: believe it or not, I'm taking you to the cleaners.
[14:01] Speaker 4: Hey what, oh, Louie, I thought I told you not
[14:04] Speaker 4: to wait.
[14:05] Speaker 7: This is a free country, a blocking limit in this
[14:07] Speaker 7: ship crape maybe no, but I waited.
[14:10] Speaker 3: But we're only going down the block a little bit.
[14:13] Speaker 3: You can't afford a quarter. I like to walk. What
[14:16] Speaker 3: do you get from walking? Exercise?
[14:19] Speaker 7: And from exercise an enlarged heart. From an enlarged heart,
[14:22] Speaker 7: you know how many people each year dropped it?
[14:25] Speaker 3: Add them up? We're walking. Come on, Francis.
[14:30] Speaker 5: Simon.
[14:30] Speaker 4: You're worried moderately about all those people with enlarged hearts.
[14:35] Speaker 3: And this is the place.
[14:36] Speaker 4: Yes, yes, front door, shepherd, there's a light, insigne. Let's try.
[14:43] Speaker 4: It's locked.
[14:44] Speaker 3: However, I think someone's coming recognizing him?
[14:50] Speaker 5: Yes, yes, that's mister Maxim, the manager.
[14:54] Speaker 3: Oh what do you want? Do you mind if we
[14:55] Speaker 3: come in? Look?
[14:57] Speaker 7: It may have escaped your attention, but it happens to
[14:59] Speaker 7: be after two o'clock in the morning.
[15:01] Speaker 3: Why do you want to command to the rain? It's
[15:03] Speaker 3: not rainy, but suppose it starts.
[15:05] Speaker 7: I happen to be a very tired ma'am.
[15:07] Speaker 3: You should go home early. I shouldn't be bothered by drunks.
[15:09] Speaker 4: I'm not drunk. We've stopped by from miss Blake's coat
[15:13] Speaker 4: the plaid.
[15:15] Speaker 7: As I may have mentioned before, we are not open
[15:18] Speaker 7: for business.
[15:18] Speaker 3: And then what are you doing here?
[15:19] Speaker 7: I am crazy about carbon tech mcloride fumes.
[15:22] Speaker 3: I'd still like the coat. Oh, then please do stop by.
[15:27] Speaker 4: In the morning, Simon, Why did you I wanted to
[15:31] Speaker 4: find out if the cleaning store knew the plaid coat
[15:34] Speaker 4: was gone.
[15:34] Speaker 5: But we didn't find out, did we.
[15:36] Speaker 3: No, Nevertheless, we've worried mister Maxim. Thank Heaven. Louise handy, Hey,
[15:41] Speaker 3: Louis Louie, you give up? Uh into the cab?
[15:49] Speaker 7: N right, Well, name your destination, mister templar A very
[15:56] Speaker 7: long trip drive to the back of the cleaning store.
[15:59] Speaker 4: You'll probably probably have to go around the block. That
[16:01] Speaker 4: alley must lead there.
[16:03] Speaker 6: Okay, but Simon, why are we going to the back
[16:07] Speaker 6: of the store because we're going in?
[16:09] Speaker 4: No, because I suspect mister Maxon is going out.
[16:24] Speaker 3: All this year. Is maybe none of my business? It isn't.
[16:27] Speaker 7: Oh you know, remark like that could easy hide a
[16:29] Speaker 7: fella's feeling. I'm sorry, No, it didn't hit mine.
[16:31] Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
[16:31] Speaker 2: Still, but you're not spending this PM in the way
[16:34] Speaker 2: a PM.
[16:35] Speaker 4: Should be spent. Nonsense. So far, it's all been good cleaning.
[16:38] Speaker 3: Fun, That's what I mean, Simon.
[16:41] Speaker 5: Mister Maxon hasn't come out of the store yet.
[16:43] Speaker 3: No, he may be coy, However.
[16:45] Speaker 6: Why should he have anything to do with anything he shouldn't.
[16:48] Speaker 3: But it's very possible that Simon.
[16:51] Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, mister Maxon is shutting up shop, coming down
[16:55] Speaker 4: the back alley, which confirms something or else.
[16:57] Speaker 5: You mean, if he weren't hiding something, he wouldn't use
[16:59] Speaker 5: the back way.
[17:00] Speaker 4: Perhaps we're far enough away from the alley for him
[17:02] Speaker 4: not to notice, like he's turning the corner.
[17:05] Speaker 3: Louis, I am alert, not for nothing?
[17:07] Speaker 7: Was I a boy scout, although actually when I was
[17:11] Speaker 7: a boy scout.
[17:12] Speaker 3: For was a certain girl scout. Hold it a minute.
[17:15] Speaker 3: He's getting into that he's a villain.
[17:17] Speaker 5: That's a convitable.
[17:18] Speaker 7: Everybody knows only villain's right around in convitibles.
[17:20] Speaker 3: He started, Louis, there we go, Look Maxim stopping?
[17:41] Speaker 5: Yeah, I better stop right here. Ah ha, Simon, he's
[17:47] Speaker 5: going into that nightclub.
[17:48] Speaker 4: Interesting place for a store manager to finish his evening's work.
[17:52] Speaker 3: Let's go, Francis. Leave me know how the flaw show is.
[17:55] Speaker 3: I'll be sure to Barker's bandbox. I've heard of the Yeah,

[18:16] Speaker 3: out of a door near the piano. Let's follow any
[18:18] Speaker 3: shifty footsteps.
[18:20] Speaker 5: I hope nobody noticed it.
[18:22] Speaker 3: What's going on or rather coming off? I don't think so.
[18:28] Speaker 5: Oh it's so dark in this hallway. Yeah, I can't

[25:08] Speaker 3: a stall. What's that?
[25:10] Speaker 4: And mister max and he fell down while he was
[25:12] Speaker 4: pressing some suits or something.

[25:19] Speaker 3: Oh res oh. You don't have to talk that way,
[25:22] Speaker 3: mister Barker. I can't help it.
[25:24] Speaker 7: If the stones were stolen from me, if the woman
[25:26] Speaker 7: double crossed me.
[25:27] Speaker 3: This babe here, yeah.
[25:29] Speaker 7: Why don't you work her over, mister Barker and her boyfriend.
[25:31] Speaker 7: After all, they're the ones who killed Og, aren't they.
[25:33] Speaker 7: It was a narrow part of mine out.
[25:35] Speaker 12: I like the kid. I sent her out the job.
[25:37] Speaker 12: She got us business. You gotta cut your losses when
[25:40] Speaker 12: you have to. I still want the stones, are.
[25:43] Speaker 4: You they are here, they have to be and find them.
[25:46] Speaker 4: I've looked, but they're hidden cleverly. You sound like a
[25:49] Speaker 4: guy up a tree.
[25:50] Speaker 12: Mister in In just a couple of seconds, I'm gonna
[25:52] Speaker 12: cut that tree down.
[25:53] Speaker 4: Tree you wake in a tree. Suppose you wanted to
[25:56] Speaker 4: hide a tree so you couldn't find it. Where were
[25:59] Speaker 4: you guide it? Ain't interested in hiding trees, you'd hide it
[26:02] Speaker 4: in the forest, of course. Therefore, going through the place
[26:05] Speaker 4: I noticed Francis, go through that dress rack, dress rack,
[26:09] Speaker 4: find a dress, any dress that doesn't seem to belong well, I.
[26:15] Speaker 3: I don't get it.
[26:15] Speaker 10: Bosh, who wants to hide a tree?
[26:20] Speaker 6: I'm not sure what you mean. But this shop is
[26:22] Speaker 6: in a pretty expensive neighborhood. All the dresses here are
[26:26] Speaker 6: very good ones, except this one. It's quite cheap, covered
[26:29] Speaker 6: with cheap rhinestone.
[26:30] Speaker 3: Let me have it. Yes, of course it doesn't belong here.
[26:34] Speaker 4: Why is it here? Because it's a forest. Looks like
[26:36] Speaker 4: a rag to me, not like a forest. I suppose
[26:38] Speaker 4: you take another look at some of the rhinestones on
[26:40] Speaker 4: Let me have it. Hey, most of the things sewing
[26:45] Speaker 4: on that dress are cheap rhinestones, but among.
[26:47] Speaker 3: Them are the genuine stones, the ones we've been looking for. Well,
[26:52] Speaker 3: nice work, Max, I didn't know anything about it.
[26:57] Speaker 7: Somebody else must have done the frame here. No, I'm
[26:59] Speaker 7: all kids, minute, wait away, what.
[27:02] Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you something? Max? No, b you sure
[27:09] Speaker 3: Tony never did like a double cross? Hey, ware you going?
[27:13] Speaker 3: It occurred to me you mightn't like witnesses either. Francis
[27:18] Speaker 3: came behind me. I wait, touching the sleeves. Build up
[27:21] Speaker 3: quite a lot of steam presser.
[27:23] Speaker 4: I kicked the outlet pipe off and it banged at you,
[27:26] Speaker 4: and it's tramp barker and.
[27:27] Speaker 3: Let you want to get my boy.
[27:28] Speaker 4: You're leaving it. Oh, thank god, yes, Francis, but not
[27:39] Speaker 4: for long.
[27:41] Speaker 3: The police won't have much trouble picking them up.
[27:43] Speaker 4: With them all forgive me, but I can't resistance with
[27:47] Speaker 4: them all steamed up, Simon.
[28:02] Speaker 6: I'm terribly grateful, but I can't resist Francis asking you
[28:07] Speaker 6: what it was all about?
[28:08] Speaker 4: Oh, oh, an intellectual when you see Fancis, Maxon and
[28:13] Speaker 4: Baker were partners in the jewelry business, illegitimate. They worked
[28:17] Speaker 4: out a nice idea they'd used very distinctive clothes left
[28:21] Speaker 4: with the cleaning shop as disguises for themselves and their confederates.
[28:24] Speaker 6: Oh and disguises which couldn't be traced because they'd lead
[28:28] Speaker 6: back only to perfectly innocent people who had albis and
[28:31] Speaker 6: everything right.
[28:32] Speaker 4: And the last job they did involved a girl who
[28:34] Speaker 4: wore your plaid coat while stealing the jewels. Maxon, however,
[28:38] Speaker 4: decided he wanted all the jewels for himself, so he
[28:40] Speaker 4: killed the girl and hid the stones and all.
[28:43] Speaker 3: He had to kill Alga because.
[28:45] Speaker 4: She suspected something wrong and came to this apartment because
[28:48] Speaker 4: that's where the plaid coat came from.
[28:51] Speaker 5: Well, but how did you know that Maxon.
[28:52] Speaker 4: Had killed her back in the shop? He said Aga
[28:55] Speaker 4: had been killed in this apartment. How did he know that?
[28:59] Speaker 6: Because he killer? Oh, Simon, what would I have done
[29:04] Speaker 6: without you?
[29:07] Speaker 3: The question is what are you gonna do with me?
[29:23] Speaker 2: You have been listening to another transcribed venture of a saint,
[29:26] Speaker 2: the robin Hood of modern crime. Now here is our

[29:44] Speaker 3: Good Night.
[30:10] Speaker 2: The night's script of The Saint was written by Lewis Bidhi's.
[30:12] Speaker 2: The music was composed and conducted by Von Dexter. The Saint,
[30:15] Speaker 2: based on characters created by Leslie Charteris, is a James L.
[30:18] Speaker 2: Sathier production and is directed by Helen mac mist And

[30:30] Speaker 2: Announcer is Don Stanley Programs, Get your programs here Tomorrow Night.
[30:34] Speaker 3: Tune here for Nightbeat.
[30:35] Speaker 2: Here the unusual Tales uncovered by reporter Randy Stone as
[30:39] Speaker 2: he searches Chicago after dark for human interest stories.
[30:42] Speaker 3: Tomorrow night.
[30:42] Speaker 2: At every Monday, I'd hear night Beat, and then stay
[30:44] Speaker 2: tuned for the first piano quartet. Next, Sam Spade cuts
[30:48] Speaker 2: a caper, Then Rose Bampton sings on NVC.
[30:57] Speaker 1: Welcome Back. The idea of being a closed rental shop
[31:04] Speaker 1: for criminals is a clever idea that only falls apart
[31:10] Speaker 1: when it encounters reality, as we saw in this episode,
[31:15] Speaker 1: because this is a pretty predictable outcome, because any detective
[31:21] Speaker 1: who traces close back to the legitimate owner finds out
[31:26] Speaker 1: they have an alibi and then finds out that the
[31:31] Speaker 1: garment in question had been sent to the dry cleaner
[31:34] Speaker 1: is going to pretty much do exactly what the Saint did.
[31:41] Speaker 1: So not the smartest criminal plan ever, but still a
[31:45] Speaker 1: enjoyable episode with a great hook. Listener comments and feedback.
[31:51] Speaker 1: Now and we go to YouTube with a comment from
[31:56] Speaker 1: Victor regarding the episode The Death of the Sun eight.
[32:00] Speaker 1: I know it's necessary for the plot, but I don't
[32:03] Speaker 1: understand the reason Claire and Maxim are enemies all of
[32:07] Speaker 1: a sudden. Well that's a good observation, Victor. When you
[32:12] Speaker 1: listen to the episode, what comes out from Claire is
[32:18] Speaker 1: that this is a secret Nazi hunting organization and most
[32:26] Speaker 1: of the members of it did not know each other,
[32:29] Speaker 1: which means that while Claire was aware of Maxim, she
[32:34] Speaker 1: didn't recognize him on site and in fact thought he
[32:38] Speaker 1: was an enemy agent. Again in case more of being
[32:42] Speaker 1: a little too secret. Well, now it's time to thank
