Speaker 1 (00:13):
The Mutual Broadcasting System presents The Mysterious Travel, written, produced
and directed by Robert Arthur and David Cope, and starring
tonight two of radio's foremost personalities lay on Danny and
Marilyn Nursky in the Big Brain.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
This is the Mysterious Trend, inviting you to join me
on another journal, little barrel of the strains and the terrifying.
I hope you will enjoy the trip, and it will
thrill you a little and chill.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
You a little.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
So settle back in a good grip on your nerves
and be comfortable if you can, as you hear the
story I call the Big Rain. My story begins in
one of the manufacturing plants of the Worldwide Business Machines Corporation.
(01:16):
In one wing of the plant is housed the huge
laboratories of the company, where newly designed and experimental calculating
machines are built and tested. It is evening and the
vast laboratory, with its long rows of intricate looking machines,
is deserted except for a young university professor, Leicester de Witt, tall,
(01:40):
lanky and in his early thirties. The Duitz stands before
a massive machine that dwarfs all others in the laboratory. Swiftly, efficiently,
he presses tabulating keys on the control board, oblivious of
all as.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
A point five two unto the eighth digit seven four
point three to the third digit seven four point five
six to the fourth digit.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Is that your professor to wish?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Hell? Eh, yes, Pop, I'm at the big brain six
point five to seven to the fourth digit. Name right,
your visitor, professor, visitor, Julia.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
I'm glad to see that you at least remember my name.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Course, professor. I'm not supposed to low anyone in here
but our engineers university, baby, like you said.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
But if he gets in, you were hers and gay.
Thanks Pop, that's all right. Yeah, he's seeing young people
get together. Julia. I'm terribly sorry. I forgot completely. Were
you waiting? Long o me?
Speaker 6 (02:41):
A half hour? By then? I realized I'd been stood.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Up, Paul, I was honestly, Julia, I had no idea.
It was so late. I decided to run a test
at five thirty and and and then be be finished
by by six six thirtieth and the latest.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
And then you can only see your face.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You are angry.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
No, No, I'm not angry. I'll just have to accept
you for what you are, an absent minded professor. Well,
so this is my rival. I've never seen such a
huge machine.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
It weighs over fifty tons. Fifty tonsoce sta, I've hited
the plant cars.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
It's the big brain.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
It's the only one of its kind in the world, Julia.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
Lester, those thousands of keys levers, do you know what
each one of them is for?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Why? Yes, of course?
Speaker 8 (03:31):
Oh, look at it.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Do you realize that the big brain can calculate elliptical integrals?
Speaker 6 (03:38):
Is that good?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Good? Why human mind has never been able to solve
elliptical integrals? There have been no methods of solution. But
this machine can. Oh, the big brain, Julia can solve
in a few seconds of problem that would take a
scientist a lifetime.
Speaker 8 (03:52):
To work out.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
There's one thing your big brain can do, professor. No,
what's that?
Speaker 5 (03:57):
It can take this racing sheet and go by the
winners tomorrow's races, still playing the horses? Hey, pop, yep,
not doing so good either. Well, I gotta make me round.
Nice talking to you, young point.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Good night, mister, good night. Oh I really should be
jealous of that machine. Less A certain light appears in
your eyes when you speak of it. Sometimes I think
that you care more for that, But.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
You really don't believe that.
Speaker 8 (04:25):
Mm hmmmm.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
Hm, No, not really.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Hey, look Pop left his racing paper behind.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
What are you looking through it for?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I've never read a racing sheet before. That's interesting, very interesting.
You know this racing sheet is a treasury of facts.
Why in each race alone there are over a thousand
facts to be taken into consideration.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
Yes, no, Less, you aren't going to spend the rest
the night studying that paper, are you.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I had always been inclined to think that horse racing
was a matter of sheer luck. That isn't so at all.
Looked at all the information that's available in this paper,
I can't understand why Pop thought the big brain couldn't
calculate the winners of these races.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
You mean you think it could.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I see no reason why it shouldn't be able to
in view of all these facts we have on past performances.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Lester, you aren't serious, are you?
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Of course? I am. Would you like to try it
as an experiment?
Speaker 6 (05:30):
An experiment?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yes, we'll put all these facts through the machine.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Oh this I have to see by all means.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
All right, First it's a matter of learning what all
these abbreviations and simple stand for. Then, yes, it's merely
a matter if you're reading the facts on past performances
and my feeding it to the machine.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
Going way nine dollars and fifty cents Flying Ghost, Flying Ghost,
October fifth, nineteen forty.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Nine, fifth, nineteen forty nine.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
Belmont Park, three year olds and up, claiming five thousand
dollars a mile and an eighth one hundred and twenty
pounds jockey riker track fast post position, fourth start, sixth quarter,
(06:33):
fourth half, fourth, three quarters, third, third mile, third stretch,
third finish third two lengths length driving five dollars and
twenty cent cent.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
That does it?
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Eight races. Now that you've given all the facts to
the machine, what's next?
Speaker 3 (06:59):
I pull this lever, then the calculator goes to work.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
Good, you love? How long does it takes?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Just a matter of seconds?
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Please? Do you really think it will.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Work work on corpus unless the machine breaks down? And
as you can see, it's working perfectly. Yeah, the solution
has been attained.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Where is it?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I merely have to pull this leever and it will
be printed on a sheet of paper and ejected at
this point. Here, watch.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
There, let me see it. Uh, first race winner, Yet
a Deer place, speeding, Folly Show, Quaker Girl. And it
has the results of the other races as well, naturally,
and these horses are the winners.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Oh yeah, there's no question of that. Tomorrow night we'll
buy an eating paper with the racing results and you'll
see for yourself less.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Yes, if you associated or that these are the winners,
why not nig a small bed on the first race?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
A small bed, yes, bet two.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Dollars to win on yet a Deer in the first race.
Then if yet Adeer wins, as you say, she will
put all the winnings on the second race then the third.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
For I couldn't do that?
Speaker 6 (08:17):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Well, it wouldn't be ethical. I'm here from the university
as a guest of this company.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
Oh now, let's stop being stuffy. We've been saving for
a year now to get married. If the machine is right,
we can win enough money to buy all our furniture.
Who knows, maybe even a house.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Oh I'm sorry, Julia, I'm afraid I could.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Oh why are you so stubborn? Who could it possibly harm?
And think of what it would mean to us.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yes, I pardon me? Where can I make a two
dollar wager?
Speaker 9 (08:54):
All right here, friend, what's your pleasure?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
My pleasure? Oh? Oh oh well, I uh, I'd like
to bet on yesa dear in the first race at
Hilier too much?
Speaker 9 (09:07):
Yes, please, hi here, you had a dear page six twenty.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Thank you. I'd now like to bet six dollars to
win on morning glory in the second race at Highalier
six os of morning glory.
Speaker 9 (09:29):
Okay, you covernhi.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
Here he is boss, command professor to with come on,
I'm Victor King.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Oh how do you know who I am?
Speaker 5 (09:46):
It's my business to know the names of the people
who patronize my establishments. All right, Steve, that'll be.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
All okay, Boss, I'll be outside.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Wait.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Well, I understand, professor, that you selected the winners of
eight straight races, and that I owe you twenty four thousand,
two hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
You'll find that I'm a business man who pays off
promptly a thousand dollar bills. Be all right, yes, yes,
of course tell me eight winners. What do you attributed to?
Speaker 8 (10:19):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (10:21):
Just luck luck?
Speaker 5 (10:23):
Eh, hey are twenty four thousand, two hundred and fifty.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
What's wrong, h lose? Some say, Hi, my wallet, I
can't seem to find it.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Oh, yes, your wallet, I have it here. Must have
dropped it a little while ago in the racing room.
One of my men found it and turned it over
to me. Naturally, I had to go through it to
find out who the owner was. Yes, I am, I
suppose so side seventeen dollars. There are a number of
things in it. Driver's license, is state university faculty card,
(10:55):
a pass for admittance to the Technical Laboratory of Worldwide
Business Machines. And this sheet of paper.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Oh oh, yes, that very.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Interesting professor has less of a selection and win placing
hills for the day's eight races at Hilia. Strangely enough,
every house in this list came in exactly a selector.
How do you explain that, Professor?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I don't have to explain it now, if you'll be
so good as to return my wallet and everything that
was in it.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
I'm sorry, professor, but I'm afraid you'll have to play ball,
whether you want to or not. What do you mean,
sit down, professor, I'll tell you, sit down, professor. Yes, no,
it can't really be done the business.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
And then, Julia, he showed me pictures that had been
taken of me in the racing room, half a dozen
of them, all so me making best.
Speaker 10 (12:01):
Oh no, yes, why why he even had a camera
hidden in the wall of his penthouse office which filmed
everything I said and did up in that penthouse. But
he was just laying a trap for you, Yes, he
certainly was.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
But you didn't tell him how you'd gotten the winners
of the races today.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
No, no, I think he suspects he found my wallet
and in it the past to the laboratory of Worldwide
Business Machines, and he saw the sheet with the names
of the winners printed.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
On it, and he demands that you give him the
winners of every day's race.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yes, yes, it's blackmail, pure and simple. He has all
the evidence he needs.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
But lest if you were to go to the university officials,
the president of Worldwide Business Machine, it.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Would be the end of my academic career. You know
how the university is about such things. They'd regard my
use of the big brains as dishonesty.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
Worse.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
Oh my fault, Oh my fault. It was I who
made you bet on those horses.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Oh no, no nonsense, darling. If I really hadn't wanted
to you, you couldn't have made me.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
What are you going to do?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
What can I do? I've got the supply king with
the winners. If I don't, he'll expose me ruin my career.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
What about a cigar, Professor, drink? No, I'm feeling good, really,
three days in a row, all the winter is at highly. Yes, sir,
I'm feeling.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Good by the way.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
I'm putting you a share of the winning societe Professor
now a monster forty six thousand. You can have it
any time you want it.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I told you before I don't want any part of
that money. My purpose in coming here was to explain
to you that I can no longer go on with it.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
You can't goow with it? Why not?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
How can I expect you to understand the matter of ethics?
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Ethics? You can't. All I'm interested in is money. I'll
listen to me, Professor. You're going on supplying me with winners.
We're playing this out to the finish.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
The finish when will that be?
Speaker 5 (14:20):
I'll let you know. Now today is Monday. I'm figuring
I'm playing out to Santa Nita in a few days
with the big handicap on Saturday. I want you to
dope out the winners as soon as possible. I'm figuring
on making a real killing at the track. I won't
do it now, Professor. We don't have to go over
that again.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Yeah, see we do.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Okay, Professor, I'll put it on the.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Line straight, no trimmings.
Speaker 8 (14:45):
Sit down.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
This might take a little time.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I wake fifteen forty seven flights eight twenty two flights
be ten flights seen, nine flights the six flights total
forty seven.
Speaker 11 (15:12):
A Leicester.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
So here you are. I'm trying to find you everywhere.
Oh I phoned you at home and university and then
I thought i'd come here. Did you see Victor King?
Speaker 8 (15:23):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (15:24):
I saw it.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
So what did he say? I mean, when you told
him you were through with him?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
He said, that isn't the way he plays ball. It
seems I have to play his way or else. Oh less,
mister King is a master of black men.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
What are these hundreds of books? What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
These are flight records of the different airlines that fly
to the West Coast. These records go back five years.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
What are you doing with them.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
I'm entering these records into the Big Brain, trying an experiment.
I don't know whether or not it'll work.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
What kind of an experiment.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
I'm attempting to find out? At the Big Brain, given
all available flight information, can determine the date and time
of the future plane crash.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
A future plane crash, yes, but why.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Victor King is going to fly to California within the
next few days. As yet he hasn't decided what flight
is taking.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
Well, what has that got to do?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Less?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Why not? What else can I fight back with? Maybe
this whole experiment is crazy, But if the Big Brain
can determine future plane crashes, and if one is due
to occur within the next five days, I'm going to
do my best to see to it that Victor King
is on that plane.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
Less, what you're doing is in change.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Maybe time you must listen to me.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
You've got to go to the university officials and make
a king breast of kings. I'm sure the pet.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
There the solution is being attained.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
Let me see flight one oh six Universal Airlines four
thirty pm New York to Los Angeles Crash six thirty
one near Canton, Ohio, February twenty.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Fourth, February twenty fourth, that's this Friday, and King wants
to be in California Saturday.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
For the racist lester this information, it can't be right,
can it.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
There's a law of averages, Julia. Scientists, given all the facts,
can work out an approximation of accidents. The big brain
has the ability to pinpoint facts, calculate them to a
degree beyond the human mind, and which a definite conclusion.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
You mean, there's no question about it. Flight one hundred
and six World crash February twenty fourth.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
The big brain hasn't been wrong as yet, so there's
always the first time, of course.
Speaker 6 (17:55):
But if there's a possibility of that plane crashing, we've
got to go to the airline and warned them.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
If I went to them and told them, gentlemen, I
believe that flight one O six on February twenty fourth
is going to crash. What do you think they would say?
They'd have me placed under mental observation.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
But unless if that plane crash is killing innocent people,
you'd never forgive yourself.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
What's going to be will be. I can't prevent that
which is ordained to happen.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
You're going to try to see to it that Victor
King is on flight one O six.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Yes, come what may, I've got to make sure he's
on that flight.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Hello, Hello, Professor Hu, this is Victor King. Yes, mister King,
so already Wednesday afternoon? Why haven't I received the winners
of saturday's races at Sataeeda.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I'm afraid I can't have them for you until Friday
afternoon around four. Why not? I've got to have last
minute scratches and other information to be able to calculate the.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Winners Friday afternoon. That doesn't give me much time to
get to Santawinia.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Why don't I meet you at the airport Friday afternoon
at four o'clock. There's the four point thirty plane to California,
like one O six, get you there at midnight.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
One I six.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
There's four thirty. That sounds all right.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Then I'll meet you at the airport at four o'clock.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Good, I'll be expecting.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Don't worry, King, I'll be there. There's the gate for
flight one O six straight ahead.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
Lest I wish you wouldn't go through with it, won't
you please go to the airline tell them that there's
a chance one O six May crash.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
I told you, Julia, they'd only think I was insane. Quiet,
there's king standing.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Get these, buddy, jar Well, professor, don't even rather fine,
aren't you? It's ready for twenty five of the plane's
ready to leave.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I was delayed by traffic. Here's the list of winners
for tomorrow's racist.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Good walking to the plane, I want to talk to
you all right, hey, take race tomorrow. Titation isn't the winner,
that's right?
Speaker 6 (20:22):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (20:22):
Oh this is perfect, perfect, All the big money will
be on citation.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
Will we clean out.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
Old pants and just please get a ball?
Speaker 7 (20:32):
Good thing? Honey, fess when I've got.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
A little surprised for you and your girlfriend surprised.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
Yes, that's right. He and Stevie are taking you with us.
We're gonna show you the time of Yellow Live. Yes, sir,
but we can't go.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
I have classes, so.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
You're talking about. This is Friday. We'll have you back
by Monday and I'll get a boar.
Speaker 6 (20:49):

On that flank street.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Can't you understand.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
I don't want to go.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Tell him to put her down?
Speaker 7 (21:11):
Come back, Julia, Okay, stude as they're going to Port Tellifida,
we're all set. Let's go.
Speaker 8 (21:30):
Letten.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
What time is this, Julius? Stop asking me the time
every minute. I just told you.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
It's a matter with you too.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Don't you like playing but sitting on the edge of
your seats ever since we took off.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
You think they were going to a funeral instead of
California and the first time they have fire.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
If I can't stand this much longer, you've got to
tell him. It's our only chance. Tell yes, Maybe you're right?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
King.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
What is it, Professor?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I'm a little closer and I got something to take you.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Yeah, what is it?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
It's plane. It's going to crash at six thirty one?
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Crash?
Speaker 5 (22:09):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 7 (22:11):
You hurt me?
Speaker 3 (22:11):
The plane is going to crash. I like that joke,
but that's not funny.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
It's not that, Joe. Can't you see any serious?
Speaker 5 (22:16):
How do you know the plane is going to crash?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Same way I found out about the winners the big brain.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
If you aren't leveling with me out, yes, yeah, you're scared,
really scared. I'm getting scared too. Why'd you ever sent
for this? You must have known before we got on
this planet. Oh I, you didn't figure. I'm me taking
you along. Of course we're gonna do something. H I'll
settle with you.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
Too late to comment, Steve, what are you gonna do?
You'll see?
Speaker 5 (22:44):
Have you gone ready, Steve? I'm making the pilot set
us down for past Yeah, yeah, sure, here's what we
take over. Well, I'm sorry, sir, but passing is.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Out aloud up here, Steve. I can't.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Yeah, I listened bright for you and your little plimate here.
I'm gonna set this plane down, But ask what four?
Because I say so, I don't know you. Land is
playing nearest Staffields twenty minutes away, and I can't all
right to set it down. Now, let's minute take an
emergency landing.
Speaker 7 (23:08):
You must be on your mind. They've caught a five.
He doesn't stop putting down.
Speaker 9 (23:11):
Give it to the co pilot right one, two, three, four?
Speaker 5 (23:19):
Okay, you're calling it.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
He'd give me read Steed two hundred and forty empah
altitude forty five hundred.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
As we come over this mountain and there's a large field,
we'll try to set down on it.
Speaker 9 (23:32):
Roger show let the store bus. We gotta get down.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
Yeah, come on, put let's plane down.
Speaker 8 (23:36):
Mister.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
If you want to take over, just say the word.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Give me reading Pete Steed two hundred and fifty five
mph altitude two thousand and eight. It's getting dark fast.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
We've got a circle of field a couple of times
our cycle just lying.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
He'd give it all the past and news over the pa.
Speaker 8 (23:53):
Roger.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
We are now preparing to land. Passengers are asked to
remain calm, leaves, fasten all safety belts.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
If you guys better go back to your seats, passing
your beunce there's.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Gonna be a rough landing.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
Yeah, it's all the same. Your stay right here. Well,
we can give an eye.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
On you, which you so.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Don't mind.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
If peeping me strip myselves into you.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
Cut the tattering land.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Let me read speed two hundred and thirty mph, altitude
eight hundred feet flaps down, flaps down, landing gear down,
landing your down, landing lights on, landing lights on. Reading
(24:40):
speed one hundred and eighty miles, altitude five hundred feet
speed five altitude two hundred feet speed thirty five, one
(25:03):
hundred and twenty five one hundred and fifteen ninety five
down eighty seventy. Bob, there's a training sticks across the field.
Speaker 7 (25:22):
Take her up too late, hang on.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
Oh.
Speaker 9 (25:39):
Oh, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Just lie quietly less, Julia. Julie, you're in a hospital.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
You've been unconscious almost three hours ago, but the doctor
says you'll be up in a few days.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
The plane crash, yes, Julia, you al right. Oh, I
was just chacking off, building up all But the King?
What about him?
Speaker 6 (26:10):
King and his bodyguard Steve were killed killed, Yes, when
the plane crashed. They were up front, without safety doubts.
Anybody else killed, No, A half dozen were hurt, but
they're all there.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Hm. So King is dead yes, Hum, that means we're free, Julia.
He was the only one knew about the Big Brain,
the way I was getting those winners.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Yes, less, we're free.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
Hm.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Strange the big Brain picked the winners. But it was
wrong about the plane crash. Wrong. But yes, after all,
the only reason the plane crashed was because King forced
the pilot to make an emergency landing.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
You're overlooking just one fat pleas why the plane crashed
at six point thirty one pm, the exact moment that
the Big brain said it good? How do you explain that, Professor.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
This is the Mysterious Tailor.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Again, Yes, young Professor de Witt had a good deal
to ponder.
Speaker 8 (27:42):
About while they recovered from the hospital.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
What a plane crash had occurred if Victor King hadn't
forced the pilot to make an emergency landing, or.
Speaker 8 (27:51):
Was that to crash the Big Brain predicted.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
It's hard to say, but one thing is certain.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Professor de Witt, for some strange reason, has lost all scientific.
Speaker 8 (28:04):
Interest in the Big Brain. O.
Speaker 12 (28:06):
Why that reminds me of next week's story, The Dark Underworld.
It's about a strange old man who lives half his
life in a naze of sewers beneath the streets of Manhattan,
and he discovers it.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
Oh, you'll have to get off here.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
I'm sorry. I'm sure we'll meet again.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
I take this same train every week at this same time.
Speaker 11 (28:41):
You have just heard The Mysterious Traveler, which is played
by Maurice Tarklate in the cast were Leon, Jenny, Marilyn Erskine,
Santos Ortega and John markha Original music was composed.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
And played by Alfinepp. This is Bob Everett speaking.
Speaker 11 (28:57):
All characters in our story were fictitious, and any resemblance
to the names of actual persons was purely coincident.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
This is the mutual broadcasting system.
The Mutual Broadcasting System presents The Mysterious Travel, written, produced
and directed by Robert Arthur and David Cope, and starring
tonight two of radio's foremost personalities lay on Danny and
Marilyn Nursky in the Big Brain.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
This is the Mysterious Trend, inviting you to join me
on another journal, little barrel of the strains and the terrifying.
I hope you will enjoy the trip, and it will
thrill you a little and chill.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
You a little.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
So settle back in a good grip on your nerves
and be comfortable if you can, as you hear the
story I call the Big Rain. My story begins in
one of the manufacturing plants of the Worldwide Business Machines Corporation.
(01:16):
In one wing of the plant is housed the huge
laboratories of the company, where newly designed and experimental calculating
machines are built and tested. It is evening and the
vast laboratory, with its long rows of intricate looking machines,
is deserted except for a young university professor, Leicester de Witt, tall,
(01:40):
lanky and in his early thirties. The Duitz stands before
a massive machine that dwarfs all others in the laboratory. Swiftly, efficiently,
he presses tabulating keys on the control board, oblivious of
all as.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
A point five two unto the eighth digit seven four
point three to the third digit seven four point five
six to the fourth digit.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Is that your professor to wish?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Hell? Eh, yes, Pop, I'm at the big brain six
point five to seven to the fourth digit. Name right,
your visitor, professor, visitor, Julia.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
I'm glad to see that you at least remember my name.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Course, professor. I'm not supposed to low anyone in here
but our engineers university, baby, like you said.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
But if he gets in, you were hers and gay.
Thanks Pop, that's all right. Yeah, he's seeing young people
get together. Julia. I'm terribly sorry. I forgot completely. Were
you waiting? Long o me?
Speaker 6 (02:41):
A half hour? By then? I realized I'd been stood.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Up, Paul, I was honestly, Julia, I had no idea.
It was so late. I decided to run a test
at five thirty and and and then be be finished
by by six six thirtieth and the latest.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
And then you can only see your face.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You are angry.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
No, No, I'm not angry. I'll just have to accept
you for what you are, an absent minded professor. Well,
so this is my rival. I've never seen such a
huge machine.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
It weighs over fifty tons. Fifty tonsoce sta, I've hited
the plant cars.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
It's the big brain.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
It's the only one of its kind in the world, Julia.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
Lester, those thousands of keys levers, do you know what
each one of them is for?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Why? Yes, of course?
Speaker 8 (03:31):
Oh, look at it.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Do you realize that the big brain can calculate elliptical integrals?
Speaker 6 (03:38):
Is that good?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Good? Why human mind has never been able to solve
elliptical integrals? There have been no methods of solution. But
this machine can. Oh, the big brain, Julia can solve
in a few seconds of problem that would take a
scientist a lifetime.
Speaker 8 (03:52):
To work out.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
There's one thing your big brain can do, professor. No,
what's that?
Speaker 5 (03:57):
It can take this racing sheet and go by the
winners tomorrow's races, still playing the horses? Hey, pop, yep,
not doing so good either. Well, I gotta make me round.
Nice talking to you, young point.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Good night, mister, good night. Oh I really should be
jealous of that machine. Less A certain light appears in
your eyes when you speak of it. Sometimes I think
that you care more for that, But.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
You really don't believe that.
Speaker 8 (04:25):
Mm hmmmm.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
Hm, No, not really.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Hey, look Pop left his racing paper behind.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
What are you looking through it for?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I've never read a racing sheet before. That's interesting, very interesting.
You know this racing sheet is a treasury of facts.
Why in each race alone there are over a thousand
facts to be taken into consideration.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
Yes, no, Less, you aren't going to spend the rest
the night studying that paper, are you.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I had always been inclined to think that horse racing
was a matter of sheer luck. That isn't so at all.
Looked at all the information that's available in this paper,
I can't understand why Pop thought the big brain couldn't
calculate the winners of these races.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
You mean you think it could.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I see no reason why it shouldn't be able to
in view of all these facts we have on past performances.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Lester, you aren't serious, are you?
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Of course? I am. Would you like to try it
as an experiment?
Speaker 6 (05:30):
An experiment?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yes, we'll put all these facts through the machine.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Oh this I have to see by all means.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
All right, First it's a matter of learning what all
these abbreviations and simple stand for. Then, yes, it's merely
a matter if you're reading the facts on past performances
and my feeding it to the machine.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
Going way nine dollars and fifty cents Flying Ghost, Flying Ghost,
October fifth, nineteen forty.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Nine, fifth, nineteen forty nine.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
That does it?
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Eight races. Now that you've given all the facts to
the machine, what's next?
Speaker 3 (06:59):
I pull this lever, then the calculator goes to work.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
Good, you love? How long does it takes?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Just a matter of seconds?
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Please? Do you really think it will.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Work work on corpus unless the machine breaks down? And
as you can see, it's working perfectly. Yeah, the solution
has been attained.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Where is it?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I merely have to pull this leever and it will
be printed on a sheet of paper and ejected at
this point. Here, watch.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
There, let me see it. Uh, first race winner, Yet
a Deer place, speeding, Folly Show, Quaker Girl. And it
has the results of the other races as well, naturally,
and these horses are the winners.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Oh yeah, there's no question of that. Tomorrow night we'll
buy an eating paper with the racing results and you'll
see for yourself less.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Yes, if you associated or that these are the winners,
why not nig a small bed on the first race?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
A small bed, yes, bet two.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Dollars to win on yet a Deer in the first race.
Then if yet Adeer wins, as you say, she will
put all the winnings on the second race then the third.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
For I couldn't do that?
Speaker 6 (08:17):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Well, it wouldn't be ethical. I'm here from the university
as a guest of this company.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
Oh now, let's stop being stuffy. We've been saving for
a year now to get married. If the machine is right,
we can win enough money to buy all our furniture.
Who knows, maybe even a house.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Oh I'm sorry, Julia, I'm afraid I could.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Oh why are you so stubborn? Who could it possibly harm?
And think of what it would mean to us.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yes, I pardon me? Where can I make a two
dollar wager?
Speaker 9 (08:54):
All right here, friend, what's your pleasure?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
My pleasure? Oh? Oh oh well, I uh, I'd like
to bet on yesa dear in the first race at
Hilier too much?
Speaker 9 (09:07):
Yes, please, hi here, you had a dear page six twenty.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Thank you. I'd now like to bet six dollars to
win on morning glory in the second race at Highalier
six os of morning glory.
Speaker 9 (09:29):
Okay, you covernhi.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
Here he is boss, command professor to with come on,
I'm Victor King.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Oh how do you know who I am?
Speaker 5 (09:46):
It's my business to know the names of the people
who patronize my establishments. All right, Steve, that'll be.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
All okay, Boss, I'll be outside.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Wait.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Well, I understand, professor, that you selected the winners of
eight straight races, and that I owe you twenty four thousand,
two hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
You'll find that I'm a business man who pays off
promptly a thousand dollar bills. Be all right, yes, yes,
of course tell me eight winners. What do you attributed to?
Speaker 8 (10:19):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (10:21):
Just luck luck?
Speaker 5 (10:23):
Eh, hey are twenty four thousand, two hundred and fifty.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
What's wrong, h lose? Some say, Hi, my wallet, I
can't seem to find it.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Oh, yes, your wallet, I have it here. Must have
dropped it a little while ago in the racing room.
One of my men found it and turned it over
to me. Naturally, I had to go through it to
find out who the owner was. Yes, I am, I
suppose so side seventeen dollars. There are a number of
things in it. Driver's license, is state university faculty card,
(10:55):
a pass for admittance to the Technical Laboratory of Worldwide
Business Machines. And this sheet of paper.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Oh oh, yes, that very.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Interesting professor has less of a selection and win placing
hills for the day's eight races at Hilia. Strangely enough,
every house in this list came in exactly a selector.
How do you explain that, Professor?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I don't have to explain it now, if you'll be
so good as to return my wallet and everything that
was in it.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
I'm sorry, professor, but I'm afraid you'll have to play ball,
whether you want to or not. What do you mean,
sit down, professor, I'll tell you, sit down, professor. Yes, no,
it can't really be done the business.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
And then, Julia, he showed me pictures that had been
taken of me in the racing room, half a dozen
of them, all so me making best.
Speaker 10 (12:01):
Oh no, yes, why why he even had a camera
hidden in the wall of his penthouse office which filmed
everything I said and did up in that penthouse. But
he was just laying a trap for you, Yes, he
certainly was.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
But you didn't tell him how you'd gotten the winners
of the races today.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
No, no, I think he suspects he found my wallet
and in it the past to the laboratory of Worldwide
Business Machines, and he saw the sheet with the names
of the winners printed.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
On it, and he demands that you give him the
winners of every day's race.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yes, yes, it's blackmail, pure and simple. He has all
the evidence he needs.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
But lest if you were to go to the university officials,
the president of Worldwide Business Machine, it.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Would be the end of my academic career. You know
how the university is about such things. They'd regard my
use of the big brains as dishonesty.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
Worse.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
Oh my fault, Oh my fault. It was I who
made you bet on those horses.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Oh no, no nonsense, darling. If I really hadn't wanted
to you, you couldn't have made me.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
What are you going to do?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
What can I do? I've got the supply king with
the winners. If I don't, he'll expose me ruin my career.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
What about a cigar, Professor, drink? No, I'm feeling good, really,
three days in a row, all the winter is at highly. Yes, sir,
I'm feeling.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Good by the way.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
I'm putting you a share of the winning societe Professor
now a monster forty six thousand. You can have it
any time you want it.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I told you before I don't want any part of
that money. My purpose in coming here was to explain
to you that I can no longer go on with it.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
You can't goow with it? Why not?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
How can I expect you to understand the matter of ethics?
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Ethics? You can't. All I'm interested in is money. I'll
listen to me, Professor. You're going on supplying me with winners.
We're playing this out to the finish.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
The finish when will that be?
Speaker 5 (14:20):
I'll let you know. Now today is Monday. I'm figuring
I'm playing out to Santa Nita in a few days
with the big handicap on Saturday. I want you to
dope out the winners as soon as possible. I'm figuring
on making a real killing at the track. I won't
do it now, Professor. We don't have to go over
that again.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Yeah, see we do.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Okay, Professor, I'll put it on the.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Line straight, no trimmings.
Speaker 8 (14:45):
Sit down.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
This might take a little time.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I wake fifteen forty seven flights eight twenty two flights
be ten flights seen, nine flights the six flights total
forty seven.
Speaker 11 (15:12):
A Leicester.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
So here you are. I'm trying to find you everywhere.
Oh I phoned you at home and university and then
I thought i'd come here. Did you see Victor King?
Speaker 8 (15:23):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (15:24):
I saw it.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
So what did he say? I mean, when you told
him you were through with him?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
He said, that isn't the way he plays ball. It
seems I have to play his way or else. Oh less,
mister King is a master of black men.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
What are these hundreds of books? What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
These are flight records of the different airlines that fly
to the West Coast. These records go back five years.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
What are you doing with them.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
I'm entering these records into the Big Brain, trying an experiment.
I don't know whether or not it'll work.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
What kind of an experiment.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
I'm attempting to find out? At the Big Brain, given
all available flight information, can determine the date and time
of the future plane crash.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
A future plane crash, yes, but why.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Victor King is going to fly to California within the
next few days. As yet he hasn't decided what flight
is taking.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
Well, what has that got to do?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Less?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Why not? What else can I fight back with? Maybe
this whole experiment is crazy, But if the Big Brain
can determine future plane crashes, and if one is due
to occur within the next five days, I'm going to
do my best to see to it that Victor King
is on that plane.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
Less, what you're doing is in change.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Maybe time you must listen to me.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
You've got to go to the university officials and make
a king breast of kings. I'm sure the pet.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
There the solution is being attained.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
Let me see flight one oh six Universal Airlines four
thirty pm New York to Los Angeles Crash six thirty
one near Canton, Ohio, February twenty.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Fourth, February twenty fourth, that's this Friday, and King wants
to be in California Saturday.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
For the racist lester this information, it can't be right,
can it.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
There's a law of averages, Julia. Scientists, given all the facts,
can work out an approximation of accidents. The big brain
has the ability to pinpoint facts, calculate them to a
degree beyond the human mind, and which a definite conclusion.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
You mean, there's no question about it. Flight one hundred
and six World crash February twenty fourth.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
The big brain hasn't been wrong as yet, so there's
always the first time, of course.
Speaker 6 (17:55):
But if there's a possibility of that plane crashing, we've
got to go to the airline and warned them.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
If I went to them and told them, gentlemen, I
believe that flight one O six on February twenty fourth
is going to crash. What do you think they would say?
They'd have me placed under mental observation.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
But unless if that plane crash is killing innocent people,
you'd never forgive yourself.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
What's going to be will be. I can't prevent that
which is ordained to happen.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
You're going to try to see to it that Victor
King is on flight one O six.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Yes, come what may, I've got to make sure he's
on that flight.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Hello, Hello, Professor Hu, this is Victor King. Yes, mister King,
so already Wednesday afternoon? Why haven't I received the winners
of saturday's races at Sataeeda.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I'm afraid I can't have them for you until Friday
afternoon around four. Why not? I've got to have last
minute scratches and other information to be able to calculate the.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Winners Friday afternoon. That doesn't give me much time to
get to Santawinia.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Why don't I meet you at the airport Friday afternoon
at four o'clock. There's the four point thirty plane to California,
like one O six, get you there at midnight.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
One I six.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
There's four thirty. That sounds all right.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Then I'll meet you at the airport at four o'clock.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Good, I'll be expecting.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Don't worry, King, I'll be there. There's the gate for
flight one O six straight ahead.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
Lest I wish you wouldn't go through with it, won't
you please go to the airline tell them that there's
a chance one O six May crash.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
I told you, Julia, they'd only think I was insane. Quiet,
there's king standing.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Get these, buddy, jar Well, professor, don't even rather fine,
aren't you? It's ready for twenty five of the plane's
ready to leave.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I was delayed by traffic. Here's the list of winners
for tomorrow's racist.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Good walking to the plane, I want to talk to
you all right, hey, take race tomorrow. Titation isn't the winner,
that's right?
Speaker 6 (20:22):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (20:22):
Oh this is perfect, perfect, All the big money will
be on citation.

Oh, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Just lie quietly less, Julia. Julie, you're in a hospital.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
You've been unconscious almost three hours ago, but the doctor
says you'll be up in a few days.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
The plane crash, yes, Julia, you al right. Oh, I
was just chacking off, building up all But the King?
What about him?
Speaker 6 (26:10):
King and his bodyguard Steve were killed killed, Yes, when
the plane crashed. They were up front, without safety doubts.
Anybody else killed, No, A half dozen were hurt, but
they're all there.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Hm. So King is dead yes, Hum, that means we're free, Julia.
He was the only one knew about the Big Brain,
the way I was getting those winners.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Yes, less, we're free.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
Hm.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Strange the big Brain picked the winners. But it was
wrong about the plane crash. Wrong. But yes, after all,
the only reason the plane crashed was because King forced
the pilot to make an emergency landing.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
You're overlooking just one fat pleas why the plane crashed
at six point thirty one pm, the exact moment that
the Big brain said it good? How do you explain that, Professor.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
This is the Mysterious Tailor.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Again, Yes, young Professor de Witt had a good deal
to ponder.
Speaker 8 (27:42):
About while they recovered from the hospital.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
What a plane crash had occurred if Victor King hadn't
forced the pilot to make an emergency landing, or.
Speaker 8 (27:51):
Was that to crash the Big Brain predicted.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
It's hard to say, but one thing is certain.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Professor de Witt, for some strange reason, has lost all scientific.
Speaker 8 (28:04):
Interest in the Big Brain. O.
Speaker 12 (28:06):
Why that reminds me of next week's story, The Dark Underworld.
It's about a strange old man who lives half his
life in a naze of sewers beneath the streets of Manhattan,
and he discovers it.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
Oh, you'll have to get off here.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
I'm sorry. I'm sure we'll meet again.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
I take this same train every week at this same time.
Speaker 11 (28:41):
You have just heard The Mysterious Traveler, which is played
by Maurice Tarklate in the cast were Leon, Jenny, Marilyn Erskine,
Santos Ortega and John markha Original music was composed.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
And played by Alfinepp. This is Bob Everett speaking.
Speaker 11 (28:57):
All characters in our story were fictitious, and any resemblance
to the names of actual persons was purely coincident.
