[1:19] Speaker 1: first started out, began as Joe Canto or Canto Detective,
[1:26] Speaker 1: and then was changed to Jeff Reagan. No, we don't
[1:28] Speaker 1: know whether they changed leeds or they just changed the
[1:30] Speaker 1: name of the show. But this episode we made Joe
[1:35] Speaker 1: Canto and the part is played by Bartny Yarborough. For
[1:38] Speaker 1: those of you who are fans.
[1:39] Speaker 2: Of Dragnet, Bartneyilbrow is pretty significant. He played Ben Romero,
[1:45] Speaker 2: Joe Friday's first partner on Dragnet. At this point, Yarborough
[1:50] Speaker 2: was known for his roles, namely in the Carlton Morse
[1:56] Speaker 2: series One Man's Family, The Longest One a.
[1:59] Speaker 3: Soap, but he also he also did.
[2:05] Speaker 2: I Love a Mystery and I Love Adventure and Adventures
[2:08] Speaker 2: by Morse, all three of these series, as well as
[2:12] Speaker 2: Hawk Clarreby a wide variety of other performances. This role
[2:17] Speaker 2: of Joe Kndo would become a recurring moll and we'll
[2:21] Speaker 2: hear at least another one or two appearances by mister Yarborough.
[2:27] Speaker 3: Here is on.
[2:28] Speaker 2: The Jack Webrun of the show, and there we kind
[2:31] Speaker 2: of get a feel for what might be ahead, just
[2:34] Speaker 2: a little bit more than a year away. At this point,
[2:37] Speaker 2: it's about ten and a half months before Dragneff would
[2:43] Speaker 2: premiere in nineteen forty nine. So this will be a
[2:47] Speaker 2: This will be a pretty fun performance. I think the
[2:49] Speaker 2: first time these two were together was they made an
[2:54] Speaker 2: appearance and Escape together, and they also did another show,
[3:00] Speaker 2: a pilot called three four Adventure. So I doubt they
[3:04] Speaker 2: were total strangers, but this is an interesting mixture that
[3:08] Speaker 2: would be a great success win applied to drag Now,

[8:51] Speaker 6: to his house, I tried to get a little more information,
[8:53] Speaker 6: but it didn't come too much. He couldn't figure out
[8:55] Speaker 6: why somebody was shooting at him or who was doing it.
[9:00] Speaker 5: It was about six o'clock when we pulled.
[9:01] Speaker 6: Up in front of his house on Mulhullum Drive, one

[9:53] Speaker 5: road brazer.

[18:02] Speaker 7: but first, here's an important message from the Adjutant General's Office.
[18:06] Speaker 7: At no time in our nation's history has it been
[18:09] Speaker 7: more important to develop an outstanding Army medical department. Without
[18:13] Speaker 7: an adequate nurse corps, this cannot be accomplished, and nurses
[18:17] Speaker 7: are still needed to fill the estimated requirements for nineteen
[18:19] Speaker 7: forty eight. If you're a graduate registered nurse over twenty
[18:23] Speaker 7: one and under forty five, you are invited to apply
[18:26] Speaker 7: for a commission in the Army Nurse Corps Reserve.
[18:28] Speaker 5: If you are selected.
[18:29] Speaker 7: You may choose either active duty or inactive status applied
[18:33] Speaker 7: to the Adjutant General Washington, twenty five DC. And now
[18:47] Speaker 7: back to the story of the Lady with the Golden
[18:50] Speaker 7: Hair and Jeff Reagan, investigator.
[19:01] Speaker 6: Well after he came falling down the stairs at me
[19:04] Speaker 6: and Flossie had a good cry over him.
[19:06] Speaker 5: I wasn't anything to do.
[19:07] Speaker 6: With the call Central Homicide. They got there a few
[19:10] Speaker 6: minutes later and went over the whole place, taking pictures
[19:13] Speaker 6: in print.
[19:13] Speaker 5: Finally a wagon pulled up to what was left.
[19:16] Speaker 6: Of Pete Berger down to the Morgue Detective Lieutenant Salvatory.
[19:20] Speaker 6: When Detty up the homicide, asked everybody a lot of
[19:23] Speaker 6: questions and shifted a couple of people downtown for a
[19:26] Speaker 6: couple of different things, and finally got around.
[19:27] Speaker 8: To Meagan Region Reagan, I think you ought to get
[19:30] Speaker 8: yourself a new job.
[19:31] Speaker 13: Every time the lion growled, you wind up with a corpse.
[19:34] Speaker 5: Some places, somebody has to ask you a question that
[19:36] Speaker 5: wasn't my idea, Sally, I might have to book you
[19:38] Speaker 5: on technical charts. Oh stop it will you? You know
[19:41] Speaker 5: I didn't have anything to do with him getting shot.
[19:42] Speaker 13: Next Conam Pete Berger gets topped off just before a
[19:45] Speaker 13: private dikets around asking him a few questions. I got
[19:47] Speaker 13: asked the private dicks questions myself or else the cheat's
[19:50] Speaker 13: gonna ask me some questions. Makes sense.
[19:52] Speaker 6: All I know is that somebody's been shooting at a
[19:54] Speaker 6: client of MMM, and that somebody's Pete Burger. How do
[19:58] Speaker 6: you know bullets came from a gun owned by Pete Birders? Oh,
[20:01] Speaker 6: I came down to see him.
[20:02] Speaker 13: Only he walks out, all loaded down with forty five
[20:04] Speaker 13: slugs and dies before you can say hello.
[20:07] Speaker 5: And that's a book. Who's your client? Reagan? Do I
[20:11] Speaker 5: have to tell you?
[20:11] Speaker 12: No?
[20:11] Speaker 5: But you will company policy.
[20:14] Speaker 13: Policy, confidence of a client, Reagan?
[20:16] Speaker 5: And you arrest me for anything depends material witness. Maybe, yeah,
[20:23] Speaker 5: well it's depending.
[20:23] Speaker 6: I'll get ahold of the Lion, He'll get a hold
[20:25] Speaker 6: of Harry per city On and I'll bet you're ten
[20:26] Speaker 6: bucks will your rid ofhibeous corpet at the stapement of
[20:28] Speaker 6: the time you got me there?
[20:29] Speaker 3: All right?
[20:29] Speaker 5: All right, all right, you're clear.
[20:33] Speaker 3: This is a murder case, Reagan. That's a serious crime
[20:35] Speaker 3: in anybody's town.
[20:36] Speaker 5: I don't know anymore. And I just told youself, you
[20:38] Speaker 5: know that maybe your client. Okay, okay, why was Pete
[20:45] Speaker 5: shooting at him? That's what I was gonna ask Pete.
[20:47] Speaker 13: Oh now, just exactly where does that put it?
[20:50] Speaker 5: My client safe and sound in his home and Joe
[20:52] Speaker 5: Kantos keeping an eye on him.
[20:54] Speaker 13: When Kennon was tuning to beat for the department, some
[20:56] Speaker 13: guys got away from him.
[20:57] Speaker 6: A lot of guys get away from a lot of cops,
[20:59] Speaker 6: but not when the watching. Kato's good at that?
[21:01] Speaker 5: You know him? Oh sure, sure, it's looks no good.
[21:06] Speaker 13: The fourth Pete Burgher went to San Quentin. He was
[21:08] Speaker 13: never very handy with a gun because his eyes were
[21:10] Speaker 13: so bad he couldn't see his hand in front of
[21:12] Speaker 13: his face.
[21:12] Speaker 5: He didn't hit anything yesterday or today, but he was
[21:14] Speaker 5: sure trying now, Floss, he told me.
[21:16] Speaker 13: Pete's and playing stompman and pictures making a buck at it.
[21:19] Speaker 13: It seems he learned all his tricks while he was
[21:20] Speaker 13: in the clink. They have a nice gym up there.
[21:23] Speaker 5: I never tell what they'll do next.
[21:25] Speaker 13: Still can't understand why you'd all of a sudden go
[21:28] Speaker 13: around shooting at somebody.
[21:29] Speaker 5: You'll figure was something.
[21:31] Speaker 8: Personal and the Pete had to do it, and whoever
[21:33] Speaker 8: people shooting.
[21:34] Speaker 9: I got kind of sore turn around Buck.
[21:36] Speaker 5: Beet tonight, Uh, my client's home safe. This shoe shoe Catto's.
[21:41] Speaker 13: Almost forgotten Pete Burger was a perfect setup for a
[21:45] Speaker 13: wise guy. And next Connor's done fifteen years who learns
[21:48] Speaker 13: his lesson wants to make a straight dime, gets mad
[21:50] Speaker 13: when anybody bothers.
[21:51] Speaker 5: Black Man's been done before. Pete had a good, healthy
[21:54] Speaker 5: bank balance.
[21:55] Speaker 13: I guess he was saving up for his old age.
[21:57] Speaker 13: But some wise guy finds out. Pizza Khan said, I'll
[22:00] Speaker 13: tell your boss unless you kick in. Then maybe Pete
[22:02] Speaker 13: starts shooting the scare him to shut up.
[22:05] Speaker 5: Makes sense, sounds like an old fairy tale that's.
[22:07] Speaker 13: Screwing enough to be the answer. Only this wise guy
[22:10] Speaker 13: Pete shooting that thinks Pete.
[22:12] Speaker 3: Might be in the business.
[22:13] Speaker 13: And soldier comes over here tonight and plugs Pete.
[22:16] Speaker 5: And who's the wise guy? Your client?
[22:20] Speaker 10: Y'hn gonna tell me his name?
[22:22] Speaker 5: I can involve a client in a murder.
[22:23] Speaker 9: Oh yeah, company policy.
[22:25] Speaker 3: I almost forgot.
[22:29] Speaker 10: Reagan will find out in the morning.
[22:32] Speaker 5: We got some lawyers too, I know. Couldn't tell me
[22:35] Speaker 5: now a phone in an hour?
[22:37] Speaker 13: Sally, okay, Okay, Reagan, you can talk to him first,

[32:22] Speaker 7: Jack Webb is featured as Jeff Reagan with Wilms Herbert
[32:25] Speaker 7: as At Anthony J.
[32:26] Speaker 3: Lyons.
[32:26] Speaker 7: It's CBS Same time next week for Trouble, Suspense and
[32:30] Speaker 7: Thrilling Adventure with Jeff Reagan Investigators.
[32:33] Speaker 5: The role of Max Blattney was played.
[32:35] Speaker 7: By Hans Conried, with Barton Yoborl as Joe Canto. Betty
[32:38] Speaker 7: lou Gerson was Hilda Graham, Jack Krusian was when Betty.
[32:42] Speaker 5: Marlow Dwyer was Flossy.
[32:44] Speaker 7: Jeff Reagan Investigator is written by E Jack Newman, produced
[32:47] Speaker 7: and directed by Gordon T. Hughes, with special music by
[32:50] Speaker 7: Del Castillio. This program came view from Hollywood Bible of Mind.
[33:12] Speaker 7: Speaking for CBS the Columbia Broadcasting System.
[33:28] Speaker 3: Welcome back a very solid.
[33:33] Speaker 2: Jeff Reagan and a nice guest appearance by h Hans
[33:39] Speaker 2: Connery there that was his character of Max was an
[33:43] Speaker 2: incredible guest star, really almost tole the show in the
[33:47] Speaker 2: scenes that he was in. Well, we got some comments
[33:53] Speaker 2: to get into.
[33:55] Speaker 5: Uh.
[33:55] Speaker 2: This one comes just directly off a website. In regards
[34:01] Speaker 2: to Jeff Reagan, Bill Rights in your podcast of Jeff Reagan,
[34:08] Speaker 2: Johnny Madero, and especially Pat Novak have forced me to
[34:11] Speaker 2: revise my opinion of Jack Webb. His radio performances are
[34:15] Speaker 2: often clever, usually well crafted, and generally more nuanced than
[34:18] Speaker 2: they seen considered the timing and focus required to spit
[34:21] Speaker 2: out a mouthful of Nolvakian similes without sounding insultingly flipped.
[34:25] Speaker 2: It is unfortunate that many of us know Web only
[34:28] Speaker 2: as television's detective Joe Friday. Web's performance on the nineteen
[34:33] Speaker 2: sixties version of Dragon offers a little clue to the
[34:36] Speaker 2: dynamism that characterizes the actors radio work. Thanks for helping
[34:39] Speaker 2: to set the record straight and always glad to do
[34:42] Speaker 2: that on Jack Web.
[34:45] Speaker 9: Nice.
[34:46] Speaker 3: So many things I think about.
[34:48] Speaker 2: Web as well as history in general, are kind of
[34:50] Speaker 2: impressions that aren't based on facts. So when you got
[34:54] Speaker 2: the recorded facts, that just makes it that just makes
[34:58] Speaker 2: it easier for people to figure out. All right, last comment,
[35:01] Speaker 2: just a simple great show off podcast. All that's much appreciated.
[35:05] Speaker 2: All Right, Well, we're gonna wrap up the show. We'll
