CBS Radio Mystery Theater was a noteworthy attempt to revive in American radio dramas like Inner Sanctum (1941-1952) and Suspense (1942-1962). Radio dramas were widely considered "dead" 12 years prior to this series. CBS Radio Mystery Theater, or simply Mystery Theater, was created by Inner Sanctum creator Himan Brown and ran on CBS from 1974-1982. The show, much like older radio dramas, was introduced by a host (E.G. Marshall in this program), who steers us through the creaking door to start the episode. Many voices from the golden age of radio were featured, including Richard Widmark, Bret Morrison, Agnes Moorehead and many more.

Come in welcome. I'm e g. Marshall. Everybody said Mark
Twain talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.
That statement is all right as far as it goes,
but it doesn't go far enough. For instance, there are
those people who try to do something about it, and
(05:29):
are they successful. Some of them are, so why haven't
we heard about them? The answer is most of them
don't want us to our mystery drama. Enough. Rope was
written especially for the Mystery Theater by Sam Dan and

Speaker 2 (08:23):
And the concept of reality has intrigued, absorbed, challenged, and,
for all I know, even plagued philosophers throughout the centuries.
(08:46):
What is real? Is anything real? Who are we? What
are we? Isn't each of us merely a brief pause
in eternity? Perhaps each of us is a dream. The
philosophers get bogged down, and at the end we're no
wiser than we were at the beginning, which, if you
want to look at it that way, could be the
(09:08):
story of life. Well, so much for philosophy. How about
some action. A young man is sitting on a horse.
He has a rope around his neck. The other end
of the rope is tied securely to the stout branch
of a huge tree. Watching the scene are several grim faced,
determined men. Uncle Billy Baxter, You false faith, faven parmit

A moment plays that white haired gentleman. I believe he's

thank you?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
What do you mean if you were still alive.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
I was born in the year fifteen fifteen, so I

six years old. Do I subtract that, right, fifteen fifteen
from eighteen ninety.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
One, ma'am.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
That's impossible, right, three hundred and seventy six.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Nobody could possibly be alive at the age of three
hundred and seventy six.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Well, I didn't say I was alive.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
What if you ain't alive? What are you?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I have crossed that great divide. I was born in
Germany in fifteen fifteen, the province of Cleves.
Speaker 2 (13:34):

Speaker 3 (13:37):
Of course. I was a cousin of the Duke's daughter,

call it quinn.
Speaker 2 (14:31):

Speaker 3 (14:32):

me that marriage was never consummated.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
Money, Billy, I must remind you of a promise.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
What promise?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
At that very dramatic moment, when you were able to
lift that noose from your neck and ride away to freedom,
you said to me, if there's ever anything I can
do for you?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
You remember, Oh yeah, I remember. So that's why you
did it. For the money.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
The money was important, and you want.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
The money for yourself.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Oh no, no, no, not for me.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
But you said you wanted the money.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
I want the money returned, return through to his rightful owners,
mister jeffro and his friends.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Oh well, no, yes, Billy, Bud, they're born sucker.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
I want the money return Listen. We have to fulfill
our destiny. Don't try my patience. If a man's destiny.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Is to be a sucker, he's going to be unhappy
if you rob him of the opportunity.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
I turn the money.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Somebody else will only swindle them out of it. I
told you that before.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
If that somebody else won't be my guardian angel's responsibility,
return the money.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I don't. I don't have it, Billy. Well, that is
chast that he's holding it for me.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
About girls like chastity, Billy, I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
But you see, I gave her the money for safe keeping. Understand,
take it back from her. Half of it belongs to her.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
None of it belongs to her. All of it belongs
to those citizens of Dead Manscott.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
But if I tell her I want to give the money.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Billy, that's the end of the subject. It can't be done.
I should have let mister Jethrow and his friends hang you.
You know, the next time I will.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Well, what do you mean, next time you will?
Speaker 3 (26:47):
That should be obvious. What do you mean, Billy. It's
always a matter of time for a man in your profession,
isn't it. Sooner or later the flim flam falls flat,
and the marks, the suckers, the robes, whatever they put.
The rope around your neck.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Don't even joke about it.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Oh, I'm absolutely serious. And so you must mend your waist,
You must return the money, and you must seek honest employment.
I carry you very well. A week from now, a
month from now, a year from now, the scene shall
be re enacted. Oh, the place will be elsewhere, the
(27:27):
supporting cast will be different, but the central character will
still be you, and the rope will be around your neck.
And this time I shall stand by unseen and silent.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
You mean you won't save me.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Oh yeah, I shall save you, truly save you, Save
you from a further life of crime, escort you from
this world of temptation and sin into a higher, pure place. No,
then you must return the money.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
But Chastity's got it. What can I say to Chastity.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Oh something will occur to you.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Oh you don't know, Chastity. When she gets her hands
on a silver dollar, she strangles the eagle to death.
You're crazy, now, Chastity.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
You've been out in the sun to love. Believe you've
been eating some of that local we out in the desert.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Now listen to it. Are smoking, Chastity. This will be
bread cast upon the waters. You never read the good book.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Bread cast upon the waters floats, but hard currency sinks.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Darling, have face in Who you mean?
Speaker 3 (28:40):
What's the scheme?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Scheme? I know you, billy.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
You ain't giving this money back to the suckers out
of the goodness of that stony hottyard.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Let me hear, darling, I have seen the light. Oh
sure where am I heading?
Speaker 3 (28:53):
That's what I wanta know.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Toward a rope, toward a certain fatal sunrise and a
hanging tree. Chastity, help save me. I'm frightened, Ben, don't
mock me. I am looking into the awful face of fear.
Don't leave them hang me.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Who's gonna hang you?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
They will sooner or later. I'm mending my ways. I'm
gonna labor for my daily bread. You're gonna what live
by the sweat of my brow and the fruits of
my toil. I'll uh, I'll work in a store. I
dry a good store. Really.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
I never heard you talk like this before.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Yeah, and I never heard me talk like this either.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
What's come over you?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
I don't know. It's a kind of new spirit.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
You mean you take a job?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Yeah, in a store? Why not?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Well, you don't have to work in a store. You
can own a store. We got ten thousand silver dollars.
We can buy a store.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Oh, Chastity, stolen money cannot lay a secure foundation for
an honest life.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
You mean we have a little house and little children.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, we would obey the commandment to be fruitful and multiply.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Oh, it's a.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Wonderful if it ain't a very Baxter honest day. Just
the man I'm looking for? Why are you looking for me? Honest?
Re laugh. This is something right up your alle honesty.
(30:30):
You see what I'm doing. I'm taking my wallet out
of my pants pocket, placing it in my shirt pocket
and holding my hand over my heart and feeling it securely.
You know I did love a good joke. Yeah, let
me buy a drink. Oh, then you are serious. This
is the hustle of a lifetime. Not interested me. I
(30:53):
won't even listen the dream situation. One of the best
people you me fingers munty. When I'm Wellington. I see
they're certain to grave sheep in this county game situation,
San Francisco. It's gonna rouse up the cattle foat the
cover is an old time respectable brokerage house, lad, I
don't want to rain well, say conservative Quintown. They'll be shooting.
(31:17):
They'll buy mining stock from us all we can print.
It's a shame the way they're gonna kill each other.
Now we have to buy the name, the good will
of the company. And that's why I'm gonna get me
a job in a store. Now. Plus we have to
grease a palm here and then, and then I'll sell
to both sides. Oh, they need to start up money,
say fifty thousand and they'll be five of us. Each
(31:40):
man shared ten grand. Now you must have ten grand men.
I turned over new leaf, Abe, can the leopard change spots?
Thinking over there? There ain't nothing to think about.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
And sleep on.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
And see if you still want to tell me that
in the morning. Oh, it's you.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
May I come in?
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Oh? Well, would it be proper enough for you to
come inside a gentleman's room?
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Close the door. I just saw Chastity leave here after
she brought in several very large, very heavy leather bags.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Well, she's a big girl.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I assume it's the ten thousand dollars. Uh yeah, Then
I assume we are ready to return to dead Man's coach.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Well are we? Are we? Well? Are we? No? No,
we ain't for what reason? For the reason? But I
decided I ain't gonna give back the money. I changed
my mind.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
You changed your mind? Honest. Abe's been talking to you,
hasn't he?
Speaker 2 (33:04):
How did you know?
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Or I saw the two of you with your heads
together in the saloon last evening?
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Whoa what if he has?
Speaker 3 (33:10):
What if he soldier?
Speaker 2 (33:12):
You're a guardian angel, You're supposed to know everything. If
you're so smart, you tell me.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Let me tell you what I see in the future.
I see a jail, a cell, and I see you inside,
And that is the finale of the scheme. Are the
grubby details important? Now you stay away from her.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
I can't stay away from it.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Did you see the look on Chastity's face this morning?
Oh she's ready for our new life, A beautiful life,
the life she's always dreamed.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Oh she won't be happy either.
Speaker 7 (33:43):
Hoo.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
We kidding, Chastity and me. We are confidence operators, the
two of us.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
It seem the plane now, Billy, give it a chest.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Oh sure, the leopard can't change his spots. I'm a hustler.
That's how I was made. That's all I know. It's
all I can.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Do, even if it gets your rope around your neck.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
It's my destiny.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Billy, what do you want?
Speaker 2 (34:04):
I told you I want to be left alone. No,
out of life. I don't want to think about it.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Well, everybody thinks about it, even a hustler.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
I'm looking for the for the greatest, the all time,
the biggest hustle ever conceived by the mind of man.
That's what I want to pull off. And suppose you did,
then what then I would die happy?
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Well? I mean I would live happily.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Ever after, and would you'll retire?
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Sure there'd be no more worlds to conquer, nothing more
to prove. All right, Billy, I'll help you, help me,
help me do.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
What if you promise to retire immediately afterwards, I'll help
you bring off the biggest hustle in history.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Listen to who's talking. You've heard of marriages that were
made in heaven. But swindles, con games, hustles well, A
word of caution. It's all a matter of how these
things are defined, and we're going to have some definitions
when I return shortly with X three.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
I guess I'm lucky. My family's always been healthy.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
Oh, a touch of constipation now and then, but we've
got xlax for that.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
When you need a laxative, shouldn't your first choice be
the one more families buy than any other. That's today's
x lax. Families like the chocolate taste, you like the
way x lax works gently overnight for relief in the morning.
Next time, make gentle chocolate X slacks your first choice
for occasional use only as directed.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
We've always been healthy, and x slax is part of that.
Speaker 4 (35:54):

Speaker 2 (37:05):
A swindle of some proportion is about to be perpetrated.
Usually these things are the work of the devil, but
here we're about to see one whole work of an angel,
the wonderful Raptors? Can this be true? Did we hear her? Right?
Let's check back, Billy.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
I'll help you bring off the biggest hustle in history.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
You can't be serious. Why, Well, you're my guardian angel,
I know.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
But you see, Billy, you're an infectious person. Your enthusiasm
it's hard to resit.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
But a swindle, well, it'll.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Be a kind of a borderline.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Swindle, you know. But I won't you get into trouble.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Probably not most a reprimand I'll try to.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Say why why are you doing this for me? First?
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Ask me what I'm doing for you. Well, first you'll
return the money. Yeah, The question.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Is how just hand it over? Huh?
Speaker 3 (38:11):
No, you see you sold land?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Yeah, worthless land?
Speaker 3 (38:16):
What's that? Land created by the Lord?
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
Well, since everything created by the Lord is precious, then
there is no such thing as worthless land.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Well, in the manner of speaking, however, it ain't rained
on that land since the year one. No, that's true,
and it ain't never gonna rain there either.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Who says something?
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Well, who says so, well, Uh, they ain't ever likely.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
To it could how if somebody put in a good
word to the rain maker. The rain maker, m he's
a friend of mine. Are you sure you know what
you're talking about?
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Certainly?
Speaker 3 (38:54):
What does it take to make a land of milk
and honey?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Well? I never thought about it one way. Rain.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Rain creates a land of green valleys and blue waters.
Rain yields up the treasures of the earth.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Yeah, of course. Well I still don't go to those
people and say it. But no, no, what's the swindle.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Oh you swindled them once when you sold them worthless land.
Now swindle them again by buying it back.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Well, how is that a swimdle?
Speaker 3 (39:24):
Becr it will be worthless land no longer. Now, my
friend the rain maker, I'll ask him for a little rain,
But will he give it to me? The best parties
upstairs are given by Henry the eighth, and they're very exclusive.
Not everyone who wants to gets to go. I could
arrange for him to be invited, so he could just
(39:47):
as easily arrange for a little range of.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Farll you need more than a little, I know, Carns
cloudburst of course, and those hundred thousand acres right in
the middle. Yeah, Once the grass grows and the tree.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
What's that Landilly Wall?
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Get it back for a penny an acre. I'll sell
it for a.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Millions a million, a land of milk and hundle.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
The hustle, the greatest hustle in history, and it's mine,
all mine.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Billy. Are you sure you want to do this?
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Yes, Chastity, Darling.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Were they too late to hit the San Francisco? I
spoke to honest aid it's tempting. Then it tempting?
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Yeah, I know, he.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
Said it could be the hustle of a lifetime.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
Put it behind you, darling, Billy, you're gonna be strong enough.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
To go through with it. Yeah, we'll be strong enough
for two. Because I'm going to weaken.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Why not, Chastity. You just think of that little cottage,
the little curly headed babies.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
Yes, Binny, that's t I'm doing it. That's why I'm
starting to weaken.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Heal faith, Chastity, have faith. Hey it's Billy Bustery. Get
a rope now, hold on? Uh uh? Why should we
hold on, Billy Baxter? Why shouldn't we hang you right
here now? Because because I got something to say, you
had nothing to.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
Say to us, Sir, You look like a god fearing man,
Billy Boxter has learned there is something greater than the
grubby cresper gaze. Billy Boxter has found humanity.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Eh, what does that mean? I'll tell you what it means. Yes,
I lied to you. Yes, I stole your money. Yes
I deserved I hang, but I was spared. You were there,
you saw me spared. Wasn't it a miracle? Wasn't it
the work of the Lord? Answer brother General? Answer? Well,
(41:57):
why was I spared? Because I prayed? I prayed, Lord
spare me, And I shall change my sinful ways. I
have sinned. I shall repent. Gentlemen and ladies of fad
Man's gulch. I sold you worthless land, barren, rocky, sandy waste.
What can I do to a tone? I shall buy
it back. I stand ready to buy it back. I
(42:20):
have your stolen ten thousand dollars. Let me buy it
back from you and get myself in right with the Lord.
Come here, whoa uncle boy? Bastery sit down? Well now
(42:44):
I don't understand, Jethro. I'm willing to buy back this
outrageous desert I sold you, But no one wants to
talk to me. Well I know, Well, can you blame them?
You know your reputation. Yeah, but folks are confused. They
think it's a trick. But what kind of a trick.
Who knows? Nobody believes bunk O'billy wants to buy worthless land.
(43:06):
I'm telling you, jeth Rowe, I seemed a light. I
believe you, son, but we got some hard customers out there.
What am I gonna do? I promised the Lord I'd
make good. Lord, you know what the lamb's like? What
could I possibly have up my sleeve? It beats me.
But the folks around here so snake bitting on the
(43:29):
subject of Billy Baxter. He just can't think straight. If
a criminal wants to reform, shouldn't honest folks help him? Yes, Billy,
Well help me, jeth Row help me. I swear I'm sincere. Well,
I'll try to talk to the man. I don't know
what I can do. I'm willing to buy back myne agree, Yeah,
(43:51):
but I need everybody. I'll tell you what's killing it
for everybody. You see you ride in here, and what
you propose is an even swap. I want to give
back the money. Well, that ain't bunko Billy style. Yeah,
but I ain't bunko billy. No more, I'm William Baxter
Junior about to become a dry goods clerk. No, billy,
(44:15):
You'll always be bunko billy. But it ain't fair. Life
ain't fair. Give them a profit a profit. Offer us
more than what we pay for. Oh, I see ja
throw you're holding me up. I sway it goes? Why
(44:38):
because we're in the driver's See. I'm doing this out
of the goodness of my heart. Uh, you're doing it
out of fear. I could say forget it. You can't.
You're not buying land from us. No, what do you
think I'm buying salvation? You're saving your soul? All right?
(44:59):
All right? How much want? How what you got? But
the ten thousand it's all I got in the world.
The ten is all you have to show over all
the years of hustling and swindling. Why else do you
suppose I want to go straight? We bought for a
penny an acre. We'll sell for two cents. But that's
another ten thousand dollars. You're getting off cheap. Where can
(45:22):
I raise ten thousand? I understand your friend, honest Dave's
in the town. Why would he give me ten grand? Hustling,
but no sucker like another hustler. He's a look, I
swear to you. This ten grand is all. I have
one hundred thousand acres and two cents snaker twenty thousand
(45:44):
knocks down. Oh you're a hard man, Jethro. This week
the price is two cents snakre. Next week it rises
to three billy. Oh oh, I was looking for you.
(46:06):
They're holding me up. Well, it's to be expected. What
am I going to do?
Speaker 3 (46:10):
Oh? You can raise another ten billy from honest ebe pepe.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Maybe Gentleen may be right. There's no sucker like a
flam flam artist.
Speaker 3 (46:18):
It's because you want to believe in your own hustle.
Speaker 2 (46:21):
Well, even at twenty thousand, it's fine. Away that great
at swindle of all time.
Speaker 3 (46:28):
You said thunder, I didn't hear anything.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
Might have been my imagination, then.
Speaker 3 (46:32):
Again, may not be. I did speak to my friend
the rainmaker, and he may be prepared.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
Well, I don't don't let it rain now, of course, no, no,
you'll kill it not till I get the deeds.
Speaker 3 (46:43):
All right, The very next day after you buy the
land back, there is going to be a rainstorm the
like of which you have never seen.
Speaker 2 (46:57):
I could have sworn I heard thunder, Lad it happens
out in the desert. You think maybe, no, honest, Abe,
I'm sure maybe here. No, it was thunder cut around
canons firing far Apatche, forty five miles away on a
clear Daybe listen. I told you the story. Everything sounds crazy.
(47:20):
It was a miracle. Oh I wish you could have seen.
Speaker 3 (47:24):
Her and got in a sabe.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
You know that crowd in dead Man's goat, Well, they'd
as soon shoot you down as look at you. They
had that rope around my neck. They had blood in
their eyes. And she rode up just as calm as
you please. But she shot the pipe out of Jack
the Stranger's mouth, Jack the sand, and nobody made a move.
Now could a human woman scare him like that? Oh, Gabe,
(47:51):
they felt her presence. Come on, get in on the
ground floor for ten thousand. There's tennis for San France. Oh,
it's for a land of milk and honey, and it's
gonna rain there after We made for there the very
next day, after we make that deal. Or there you are,

Oh hello, chest Didy darling.
Speaker 3 (48:19):
Oh what are you doing here? William? Why aren't you
showing up for work in the store, I says, work
in a starveler. His name is William.
Speaker 2 (48:29):
Now, honey said to sit down and have drink.
Speaker 3 (48:32):
I thought there was supposed to be no more drinking.
No more drinking, Oh you'll be quiet, honest, abe, and
no more sitting around low places like this.
Speaker 2 (48:41):
Well, jely, I mean, honey, you.
Speaker 3 (48:45):

Speaker 2 (48:46):
The last When I did, I got the titles right
here in my pocket, and.

Then you were supposed to report to mister cadwalla star
and take a job.
Speaker 2 (48:54):
Well there's been a slight changing plan. What change you see?
We now own one hundred thousand acres of I've worked
this barren death, no correction, soon to become a land
of milk and honey.
Speaker 3 (49:08):
What are you saying?
Speaker 2 (49:09):
You heard me?
Speaker 3 (49:10):
A land of milk and honey? Then one hundred thousand
acres very sing, Oh you've been in the sun.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
It will become a land of milk and honey. The
rains will come, they will nourish the earth, and slowly, slowly,
the land will become fertile.
Speaker 3 (49:25):
He's crazy, my darling, Berry is crazy.
Speaker 2 (49:29):
And it's all going to start today today, which is
exactly twenty four hours after I brought back the land,
and at any moment the skies will open and there
shall be rain afternoon. Broa oh jeath Row, it's a
pleasure to see. What are you doing in this sinful town?
(49:50):

a lot of ways to miss, but when making shirts

but it doesn't go far enough. For instance, there are
those people who try to do something about it, and
(05:29):
are they successful. Some of them are, so why haven't
we heard about them? The answer is most of them

And the concept of reality has intrigued, absorbed, challenged, and,
for all I know, even plagued philosophers throughout the centuries.

What is real? Is anything real? Who are we? What
are we? Isn't each of us merely a brief pause
in eternity? Perhaps each of us is a dream. The
philosophers get bogged down, and at the end we're no
wiser than we were at the beginning, which, if you
want to look at it that way, could be the
(09:08):
story of life. Well, so much for philosophy. How about
some action. A young man is sitting on a horse.

What do you mean if you were still alive.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
I was born in the year fifteen fifteen, so I
would be I would be a three hundred and seventy
six years old. Do I subtract that, right, fifteen fifteen
from eighteen ninety.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
One, ma'am.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
That's impossible, right, three hundred and seventy six.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Nobody could possibly be alive at the age of three
hundred and seventy six.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Well, I didn't say I was alive.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
What if you ain't alive? What are you?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I have crossed that great divide. I was born in
Germany in fifteen fifteen, the province of Cleves.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Oh, ma'am, when you say that, I get cold shiver.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Of course. I was a cousin of the Duke's daughter,
the Duke of CLEAs. Her name was Anne. You follow this, No, no, ma'am,

call it quinn.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
She goes on about Henry the eighth.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I was not only her lady in waiting, I was
also her closest friend so you can take it for
me that marriage was never consummated.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Oh, I don't know why you blushy well man, that
that sort of thing. It just ain't discussed in mixed company.
Speaker 3 (14:49):

I will. Well to continue. Anne and I were sent
home to Cleves. Well, both of us died the same year,
at fifteen fifty seven. I caught a fever. So you
see I'm really forty two. How do I look for
forty two?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
You look beautiful? Ah?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Now what am I going to do with Hugh Billy
do with me?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Well, you saved my life?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Oh no, I preserved it. It remains to be seen
if I saved.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
It, ma'am. Why why did you save me? You don't
know me. You could have been killed.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
It's my job to save you. Your job when i'm
your guardian angel? My what I believe you heard me
my guardian angel. See you did hear me?
Speaker 2 (16:01):

Speaker 3 (16:03):
There? Worn't? What would I be doing.

Here a guardian angel?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
You see, I died, I went to heaven. What do
you want to do? They asked, play a harp sing,
be a guardian Angel. Well that's what I picked.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I do believe you're serious.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Well, actually I'm not old enough to be a full
time guardian Angel.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
You ain't old enough.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Oh no, you need a few thousand years of experience.
So what I get now is relief work, you know,
when the regular GA goes on vacation or needs time off.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I feel I don't understand any of it.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Who says you have to anyhow? I'm supposed to fill
in for your regular GA.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
For a while, I didn't know I had one.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Now everybody's gone one.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
She never did anything for me. How do you know?
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Your guardian angel is only required to make sure you
get what you really desert?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
And you decided I didn't deserve to hang? Well, not just.
Speaker 3 (17:01):

I've never seen her before.
Speaker 3 (19:08):

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yesterday, Honey, it's the honest truth.

That woman rode up to a lynching party of forty
seven armed and angry men all by herself and shot
five of 'em out of the saddle. And no woman

Speaker 3 (20:16):
Oh call me mother, Billy sounds so much more intimate
than ma'am.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Well, yes, ma'am, I mean, uh mother. What's the nature
of this unfinished business?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Well, it has to do with what the Bible calls
the root of all evil.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Yeah, I assume you're talking about money, and.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
You assume correctly. I have in my mind the sum
of ten thousand.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Dollars ten thousand dollars to the penny.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
It's the sum you stole from mister Jethrow and his
friends in the silver mining community of dead Man's Gulch.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Oh that money. Yes, indeed, Well what about it? What
about it? Billy? I want it? She wants it? Is
this a way for a guardian angel to talk? Now?
(21:12):
You happen to be in possession of practically all of
the facts and the case here. Who is our friend
a leader? We know who she says she is. But
is it true. On the other hand, why should we
doubt her? But then why does she want the money?
We keep getting in deeper? Who knows how much further

Now there's a fabulous new substitute for margarine. The perfect spread,
an ideal ingredient for cooking and baking. This substitute is
made from a century's old formula pended down from cow
to cow. Its marvelous taste adds distinctive flavor to every dish,
and the substitute is loaded with natural vitamins. It even
has the same coraly count as margarine. And this amazing

pure whole milk. Yes, it takes eleven and a half
quartz to make one pound.

as in hotel bar butter. So members of the Marger generation,
let's all delight in the taste thrill of real hotel
bar butter. Let's spread the good word butter, hotel bar butter.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
What is reality? Well, the first approach is to consult
the dictionary. Here we are told it is the state
or the quality of being real, for which we thank
mister Webster very much. He also says factual, true to life.
What is a fact and what is life? Does it
(24:52):
become clearer when he tells us fidelity to nature? Well,
let's just go along with this story and see what happens.
You want the.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Money, Billy, I must remind you of a promise.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
What promise?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
At that very dramatic moment, when you were able to
lift that noose from your neck and ride away to freedom,
you said to me, if there's ever anything I can
do for you?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
You remember, Oh yeah, I remember. So that's why you
did it. For the money.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
The money was important, and you want.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
The money for yourself.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Oh no, no, no, not for me.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
But you said you wanted the money.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
I want the money returned, return through to his rightful owners,
mister jeffro and his friends.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Oh well, no, yes, Billy, Bud, they're born sucker.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
I want the money return Listen. We have to fulfill
our destiny. Don't try my patience. If a man's destiny.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Is to be a sucker, he's going to be unhappy
if you rob him of the opportunity.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
I turn the money.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Somebody else will only swindle them out of it. I
told you that before.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
If that somebody else won't be my guardian angel's responsibility,
return the money.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I don't. I don't have it, Billy. Well, that is
chast that he's holding it for me.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
About girls like chastity, Billy, I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
But you see, I gave her the money for safe keeping. Understand,
take it back from her. Half of it belongs to her.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
None of it belongs to her. All of it belongs
to those citizens of Dead Manscott.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
But if I tell her I want to give the money.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Billy, that's the end of the subject. It can't be done.
I should have let mister Jethrow and his friends hang you.
You know, the next time I will.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Well, what do you mean, next time you will?
Speaker 3 (26:47):
That should be obvious. What do you mean, Billy. It's
always a matter of time for a man in your profession,
isn't it. Sooner or later the flim flam falls flat,
and the marks, the suckers, the robes, whatever they put.
The rope around your neck.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Don't even joke about it.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Oh, I'm absolutely serious. And so you must mend your waist,
You must return the money, and you must seek honest employment.
I carry you very well. A week from now, a
month from now, a year from now, the scene shall
be re enacted. Oh, the place will be elsewhere, the
(27:27):
supporting cast will be different, but the central character will
still be you, and the rope will be around your neck.
And this time I shall stand by unseen and silent.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
You mean you won't save me.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Oh yeah, I shall save you, truly save you, Save
you from a further life of crime, escort you from
this world of temptation and sin into a higher, pure place. No,
then you must return the money.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
But Chastity's got it. What can I say to Chastity.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Oh something will occur to you.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Oh you don't know, Chastity. When she gets her hands
on a silver dollar, she strangles the eagle to death.
You're crazy, now, Chastity.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
You've been out in the sun to love. Believe you've
been eating some of that local we out in the desert.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Now listen to it. Are smoking, Chastity. This will be
bread cast upon the waters. You never read the good book.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Bread cast upon the waters floats, but hard currency sinks.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Darling, have face in Who you mean?
Speaker 3 (28:40):
What's the scheme?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Scheme? I know you, billy.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
You ain't giving this money back to the suckers out
of the goodness of that stony hottyard.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Let me hear, darling, I have seen the light. Oh
sure where am I heading?
Speaker 3 (28:53):
That's what I wanta know.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Toward a rope, toward a certain fatal sunrise and a
hanging tree. Chastity, help save me. I'm frightened, Ben, don't
mock me. I am looking into the awful face of fear.
Don't leave them hang me.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Who's gonna hang you?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
They will sooner or later. I'm mending my ways. I'm
gonna labor for my daily bread. You're gonna what live
by the sweat of my brow and the fruits of
my toil. I'll uh, I'll work in a store. I
dry a good store. Really.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
I never heard you talk like this before.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Yeah, and I never heard me talk like this either.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
What's come over you?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
I don't know. It's a kind of new spirit.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
You mean you take a job?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Yeah, in a store? Why not?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Well, you don't have to work in a store. You
can own a store. We got ten thousand silver dollars.
We can buy a store.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Oh, Chastity, stolen money cannot lay a secure foundation for
an honest life.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
You mean we have a little house and little children.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, we would obey the commandment to be fruitful and multiply.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Oh, it's a.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Wonderful if it ain't a very Baxter honest day. Just
the man I'm looking for? Why are you looking for me? Honest?
Re laugh. This is something right up your alle honesty.
(30:30):
You see what I'm doing. I'm taking my wallet out
of my pants pocket, placing it in my shirt pocket
and holding my hand over my heart and feeling it securely.
You know I did love a good joke. Yeah, let
me buy a drink. Oh, then you are serious. This
is the hustle of a lifetime. Not interested me. I
(30:53):
won't even listen the dream situation. One of the best
people you me fingers munty. When I'm Wellington. I see
they're certain to grave sheep in this county game situation,
San Francisco. It's gonna rouse up the cattle foat the
cover is an old time respectable brokerage house, lad, I
don't want to rain well, say conservative Quintown. They'll be shooting.
(31:17):
They'll buy mining stock from us all we can print.
It's a shame the way they're gonna kill each other.
Now we have to buy the name, the good will
of the company. And that's why I'm gonna get me
a job in a store. Now. Plus we have to
grease a palm here and then, and then I'll sell
to both sides. Oh, they need to start up money,
say fifty thousand and they'll be five of us. Each
(31:40):
man shared ten grand. Now you must have ten grand men.
I turned over new leaf, Abe, can the leopard change spots?
Thinking over there? There ain't nothing to think about.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
And sleep on.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
And see if you still want to tell me that
in the morning. Oh, it's you.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
May I come in?
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Oh? Well, would it be proper enough for you to
come inside a gentleman's room?
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Close the door. I just saw Chastity leave here after
she brought in several very large, very heavy leather bags.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Well, she's a big girl.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I assume it's the ten thousand dollars. Uh yeah, Then
I assume we are ready to return to dead Man's coach.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Well are we? Are we? Well? Are we? No? No,
we ain't for what reason? For the reason? But I
decided I ain't gonna give back the money. I changed
my mind.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
You changed your mind? Honest. Abe's been talking to you,
hasn't he?
Speaker 2 (33:04):
How did you know?
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Or I saw the two of you with your heads
together in the saloon last evening?
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Whoa what if he has?
Speaker 3 (33:10):
What if he soldier?
Speaker 2 (33:12):
You're a guardian angel, You're supposed to know everything. If
you're so smart, you tell me.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Let me tell you what I see in the future.
I see a jail, a cell, and I see you inside,
And that is the finale of the scheme. Are the
grubby details important? Now you stay away from her.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
I can't stay away from it.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Did you see the look on Chastity's face this morning?
Oh she's ready for our new life, A beautiful life,
the life she's always dreamed.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Oh she won't be happy either.
Speaker 7 (33:43):
Hoo.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
We kidding, Chastity and me. We are confidence operators, the
two of us.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
It seem the plane now, Billy, give it a chest.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Oh sure, the leopard can't change his spots. I'm a hustler.
That's how I was made. That's all I know. It's
all I can.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Do, even if it gets your rope around your neck.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
It's my destiny.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Billy, what do you want?
Speaker 2 (34:04):
I told you I want to be left alone. No,
out of life. I don't want to think about it.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Well, everybody thinks about it, even a hustler.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
I'm looking for the for the greatest, the all time,
the biggest hustle ever conceived by the mind of man.
That's what I want to pull off. And suppose you did,
then what then I would die happy?
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Well? I mean I would live happily.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Ever after, and would you'll retire?
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Sure there'd be no more worlds to conquer, nothing more
to prove. All right, Billy, I'll help you, help me,
help me do.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
What if you promise to retire immediately afterwards, I'll help
you bring off the biggest hustle in history.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Listen to who's talking. You've heard of marriages that were
made in heaven. But swindles, con games, hustles well, A
word of caution. It's all a matter of how these
things are defined, and we're going to have some definitions
when I return shortly with X three.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
I guess I'm lucky. My family's always been healthy.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
Oh, a touch of constipation now and then, but we've
got xlax for that.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
When you need a laxative, shouldn't your first choice be
the one more families buy than any other. That's today's
x lax. Families like the chocolate taste, you like the
way x lax works gently overnight for relief in the morning.
Next time, make gentle chocolate X slacks your first choice
for occasional use only as directed.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
We've always been healthy, and x slax is part of that.

the wonderful Raptors? Can this be true? Did we hear her? Right?

Yeah, worthless land?
Speaker 3 (38:16):
What's that? Land created by the Lord?
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
Well, since everything created by the Lord is precious, then
there is no such thing as worthless land.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Well, in the manner of speaking, however, it ain't rained
on that land since the year one. No, that's true,
and it ain't never gonna rain there either.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Who says something?
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Well, who says so, well, Uh, they ain't ever likely.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
To it could how if somebody put in a good
word to the rain maker. The rain maker, m he's
a friend of mine. Are you sure you know what
you're talking about?
Speaker 2 (38:52):

What does it take to make a land of milk
and honey?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Well? I never thought about it one way. Rain.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Rain creates a land of green valleys and blue waters.
Rain yields up the treasures of the earth.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Yeah, of course. Well I still don't go to those
people and say it. But no, no, what's the swindle.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Oh you swindled them once when you sold them worthless land.
Now swindle them again by buying it back.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Well, how is that a swimdle?
Speaker 3 (39:24):
Becr it will be worthless land no longer. Now, my
friend the rain maker, I'll ask him for a little rain,
But will he give it to me? The best parties
upstairs are given by Henry the eighth, and they're very exclusive.
Not everyone who wants to gets to go. I could

To go through with it. Yeah, we'll be strong enough
for two. Because I'm going to weaken.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Why not, Chastity. You just think of that little cottage,
the little curly headed babies.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
Yes, Binny, that's t I'm doing it. That's why I'm
starting to weaken.

Billy Boxter has learned there is something greater than the
grubby cresper gaze. Billy Boxter has found humanity.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Eh, what does that mean? I'll tell you what it means. Yes,
I lied to you. Yes, I stole your money. Yes
I deserved I hang, but I was spared. You were there,
you saw me spared. Wasn't it a miracle? Wasn't it
the work of the Lord? Answer brother General? Answer? Well,
(41:57):
why was I spared? Because I prayed? I prayed, Lord
spare me, And I shall change my sinful ways. I
have sinned. I shall repent. Gentlemen and ladies of fad
Man's gulch. I sold you worthless land, barren, rocky, sandy waste.
What can I do to a tone? I shall buy
it back. I stand ready to buy it back. I
(42:20):
have your stolen ten thousand dollars. Let me buy it
back from you and get myself in right with the Lord.
Come here, whoa uncle boy? Bastery sit down? Well now
(42:44):
I don't understand, Jethro. I'm willing to buy back this
outrageous desert I sold you, But no one wants to
talk to me. Well I know, Well, can you blame them?
You know your reputation. Yeah, but folks are confused. They
think it's a trick. But what kind of a trick.
Who knows? Nobody believes bunk O'billy wants to buy worthless land.
(43:06):
I'm telling you, jeth Rowe, I seemed a light. I
believe you, son, but we got some hard customers out there.
What am I gonna do? I promised the Lord I'd
make good. Lord, you know what the lamb's like? What
could I possibly have up my sleeve? It beats me.
But the folks around here so snake bitting on the
(43:29):
subject of Billy Baxter. He just can't think straight. If
a criminal wants to reform, shouldn't honest folks help him? Yes, Billy,
Well help me, jeth Row help me. I swear I'm sincere. Well,
I'll try to talk to the man. I don't know
what I can do. I'm willing to buy back myne agree, Yeah,
(43:51):
but I need everybody. I'll tell you what's killing it
for everybody. You see you ride in here, and what
you propose is an even swap. I want to give
back the money. Well, that ain't bunko Billy style. Yeah,
but I ain't bunko billy. No more, I'm William Baxter
Junior about to become a dry goods clerk. No, billy,
(44:15):
You'll always be bunko billy. But it ain't fair. Life
ain't fair. Give them a profit a profit. Offer us
more than what we pay for. Oh, I see ja
throw you're holding me up. I sway it goes? Why
(44:38):
because we're in the driver's See. I'm doing this out
of the goodness of my heart. Uh, you're doing it
out of fear. I could say forget it. You can't.
You're not buying land from us. No, what do you
think I'm buying salvation? You're saving your soul? All right?
(44:59):
All right? How much want? How what you got? But
the ten thousand it's all I got in the world.
The ten is all you have to show over all
the years of hustling and swindling. Why else do you
suppose I want to go straight? We bought for a
penny an acre. We'll sell for two cents. But that's
another ten thousand dollars. You're getting off cheap. Where can
(45:22):
I raise ten thousand? I understand your friend, honest Dave's
in the town. Why would he give me ten grand? Hustling,
but no sucker like another hustler. He's a look, I
swear to you. This ten grand is all. I have
one hundred thousand acres and two cents snaker twenty thousand
(45:44):
knocks down. Oh you're a hard man, Jethro. This week
the price is two cents snakre. Next week it rises
to three billy. Oh oh, I was looking for you.
(46:06):
They're holding me up. Well, it's to be expected. What
am I going to do?
Speaker 3 (46:10):
Oh? You can raise another ten billy from honest ebe pepe.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Maybe Gentleen may be right. There's no sucker like a
flam flam artist.
Speaker 3 (46:18):
It's because you want to believe in your own hustle.
Speaker 2 (46:21):
Well, even at twenty thousand, it's fine. Away that great
at swindle of all time.
Speaker 3 (46:28):
You said thunder, I didn't hear anything.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
Might have been my imagination, then.
Speaker 3 (46:32):
Again, may not be. I did speak to my friend
the rainmaker, and he may be prepared.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
Well, I don't don't let it rain now, of course, no, no,
you'll kill it not till I get the deeds.
Speaker 3 (46:43):
All right, The very next day after you buy the
land back, there is going to be a rainstorm the
like of which you have never seen.
Speaker 2 (46:57):
I could have sworn I heard thunder, Lad it happens
out in the desert. You think maybe, no, honest, Abe,
I'm sure maybe here. No, it was thunder cut around
canons firing far Apatche, forty five miles away on a
clear Daybe listen. I told you the story. Everything sounds crazy.
(47:20):
It was a miracle. Oh I wish you could have seen.
Speaker 3 (47:24):
Her and got in a sabe.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
You know that crowd in dead Man's goat, Well, they'd
as soon shoot you down as look at you. They
had that rope around my neck. They had blood in
their eyes. And she rode up just as calm as
you please. But she shot the pipe out of Jack
the Stranger's mouth, Jack the sand, and nobody made a move.
Now could a human woman scare him like that? Oh, Gabe,
(47:51):
they felt her presence. Come on, get in on the
ground floor for ten thousand. There's tennis for San France. Oh,
it's for a land of milk and honey, and it's
gonna rain there after We made for there the very
next day, after we make that deal. Or there you are,

showing up for work in the store, I says, work
in a starveler. His name is William.
Speaker 2 (48:29):
Now, honey said to sit down and have drink.
Speaker 3 (48:32):

acres very sing, Oh you've been in the sun.

rains will come, they will nourish the earth, and slowly, slowly,
the land will become fertile.
