Wife is just a little bored by this involuntary confinement,
mister Hanford. A bunch of people being shut up for
two days are bound to get on each other's nerves
sooner or later.

Well, I'm saying is I don't want to hear any
more things about death, and if I do, I won't
hear It's there's liable to be a real death around here.

Somebody is liable to get murdered.

Christine, Will you shut off wearing snowballs and soferfresh?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Doctor Danfield, student of crime psychology, as many times provided
the police with a solution to a baffling crime. There's
an interesting case I head for the doctor today. They'll
call it snowbound.

Three hole days of this, Dan, How long in a
snow snow?
Speaker 7 (02:38):
Anyway?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
No, I'm very well acquainted with sunny Arizona.
Speaker 9 (02:42):
I came down here to do some horseback riding. If
I'd wanted to go skiing, we'd have gone to some valley.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Say, I think I'll go to my room for a
few minutes resting. I want to put on a sweater.
Speaker 9 (02:50):
Go ahead, I'll be in the wreck.

Yes?
Speaker 7 (03:31):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (03:31):
For instance, Well not that Christine Gale, ma'am. She'd never
give me the cold shoulder.
Speaker 5 (03:36):

From all I've been able to observe, that husband of
hers is what you'd called slightly jealous.

Speaker 10 (05:30):
Well, frankly, mister Clayton, I'm disgusted with this whole mess.
Three days of having associated with this bunch of morons
is too much. In fact, I've just about made up
my mind to get out of here. I don't appreciate
being called to moro. Oh you do, well, let me
tell you Cliff Hanford is a moron.
Speaker 1 (05:46):

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Are you hey here here?

I'm sorry, lost my head.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I guess well, folks, you all set the weather of
the storm.
Speaker 9 (05:58):
Glad you're back. This place is just about really to
blow its top.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Oh there's something wrong here that a good sunny day
he wouldn't faked. Well, maybe you ought to suggest that
we play games or something. Man, that'll leave the attention
any suggestions.
Speaker 7 (06:10):
As long as we have such an eminent criminologist as
doctor Danfield and our Mitch, why don't we play murder?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Murder?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Murder? Yes, I say, fast and snowball.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
Chairly send somebody out of the room, and while he's gone,
we all decide on who's going.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
To be the victim.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
And when this person comes back, We give him clues
and he has to guess who it is.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
He goes out alone. Yes, dear, all right, I'm game.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
How about you?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Frank might as well?
Speaker 9 (06:38):
I guess good? You go out first, Frank, will let
you be the detective.
Speaker 10 (06:42):
All right, but don't keep me out in the hall
too long?
Speaker 7 (06:44):
Wrong? And who's going to be the victim?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Why don't you be at? Danfield?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
To me?
Speaker 9 (06:50):
We're sure, Dan go on.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
That's okay with me.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Anything to get the game started, fine, you.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
Can come in off, Frank.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Let's see. Is the victim somebody in this room?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, DearS?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Is it a man or a woman?
Speaker 9 (07:07):
Oh no, we're not supposed to tell that.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Well, uh, let's see.
Speaker 9 (07:13):
I'll give you a clue. Thanks.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
The victim is dangerous.
Speaker 10 (07:19):
And naughty, dangerous and naughty. Mm oh, I know, Danfield?
Speaker 7 (07:27):
Right?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
You very good? Now? How did he get Charles play rusty?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Christine pointed that you, Danfield, Frank isn't smart enough to
figure it out any other way?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Oh no, no, no, not quite as obvious as well.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
You can count me out.
Speaker 10 (07:40):
I'm sick and tired of being accused of everything from
cheating at parlor games to making love with everybody else's wife.
I'm getting out of here, and don't be surprised to
find me missing in the morning.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Leading this land.
Speaker 11 (07:50):
Storm or no storm, well, snowballs and such a fresh sir.
Speaker 8 (07:56):

Speaker 1 (08:02):
I'll be along in a few minutes.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Oh not.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
I wonder how that guy did figure it out. Just
a simple code, mister Henfrid.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
A code.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
You heard what Christine said, didn't your rusty?
Speaker 9 (08:16):
Yes, she said the victim was dangerous and naughty.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Well, I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
What are the first letters in those three words dangerous
and naughty?
Speaker 9 (08:25):
Da ah am I dumb well.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Surcerfris and sewer bowls.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Oh they had a code, did they? Oh? I think
I'll just go and talk to Christine about that.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Oh no, no, And I don't worry about it, Cliff.
It was just an innocent little trick time. Sorry I
even mentioned.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
And I hope that guy does pull out in the
morning and on the way to wherever he's going, I hope.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
He freezes to this.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
And I don't like that dame saying you're dangerous and
naughty either.
Speaker 9 (08:49):
How does she know you're naughty.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Rusty, this situation getting on your nerves too well.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
I can't say I like it if I don't.
Speaker 3 (08:55):

explaining to do.

Why that's turty rd.
Speaker 3 (11:09):

room and see if he really did leave?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Sure? Sure, Shasta flashes mogull.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I wonder what happens with the gun. You didn't touch anything,

I should say not. I know better than that.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
You came out to your room. Your wife was dead
when you got there. Yes to both questions. You can
see for yourself. You said to yourself that the body
already started cool. Yes, entirely too cold, issus me, Oh well,
no sign up a gun now it rules out any
possibility of suicide.
Speaker 9 (11:48):
Maybe the gun was thrown out the window.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
It was open, you know, yes, yes, it was reste.
Let's take a look.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Stop snowing. If you just blowing up, there's nothing out here.
Speaker 9 (11:58):
Stuff is clean and pure.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Heaven snow. I don't got a bark anywhere. Probably took
the gun with him.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
He's gone, doctor Dan, Frank Parker's gone.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Then he meant what he said in his note.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Yeah, he even took his suit keys Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 10 (12:13):
Anything matter?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Somebody's killed your girl?
Speaker 9 (12:15):
Frank Jordan?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
What not?
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Christine, ma'am, you ain't a wolfing?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
What are you doing up? Shorty? I thought you went
to bed an hour ago?
Speaker 11 (12:24):
I did that? Is I went to my cabin. Who
wasn't sleepy enough to go to bed? I was sitting
up reading. Oh, into that Frank Parker guy.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
He'd come over to.
Speaker 10 (12:32):
Ask me just how to get to Anita?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Oh he did.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
I told him he'd better not try it, but the
snow would stop, and he calculated he'd go anyway.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Then you saw him leave just about twenty minutes ago. Well,
I hate to ask you to do this, Shorty, but
you'd better ride into Sanita and take up the sheriff.
And if you should run into Frank Parker on the way,
bring him back with you.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
What if you don't want to come back, Well, Shorty.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I imagine you could rope and hog tie him, now,
couldn't you? Mister?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
You ain't a wolfing.
Speaker 11 (13:06):
Where folks slow stopped and sun to shine, it looked
like a wonderful day.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yes, yes, doesn't it?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Tell me? As Shorty got back from Ton with.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
The sheriff, he No, I ought to be hearing him anythol.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
I took a look around outside this morning, Homer, I
can hardly believe that Shorty ever went to town. There
wasn't a mark or a hoot print anywhere.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
No snows, different facts covered up tracks soon as you
make them.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Listen, sounds like Shorty's back. Oh what a trip.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Had to fight drifts all the way.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
And where's the sheriff you? Why didn't you bring the.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Shirt snowed in? I talked to the phone though, said
he'd be out the seating.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
How about our friend Frank Parker seeing anything of him?
Speaker 4 (13:42):
No, that's a funny thing, mister.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
I looked for him all the.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Way in, and there wasn't a sign.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Well did you inquire at the station whether or not
he caught the early train? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I sure did.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
Didn't catch a train either, Nope, nobody's seen how to
hear him?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Well, it begins to look pretty bad for mister Parker.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
You ain't a wolf.
Speaker 11 (13:59):
And mister looks to me like he shot Christine and
made his getaway. Yeah, sure looks bad.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
When I say it looks bad for mister Parker, Shorty,
I don't mean it the way you mean Rusty, you're
insane going horseback riding in this kind of weather.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
I don't care, Dan.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
I came to a Jude branch because I wanted to ride,
and I'm not gonna let a little snow stop me.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Oh well, I know better than to argue with you.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
That's a good boy, Danny.
Speaker 9 (14:29):
Anyhow, Shorty's already saddling me a horse.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Oh you know, Dan, I'm like Shorty.
Speaker 9 (14:35):
I think Frank Parker shot Christine.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
There's something wrong somewhere, Rusty. I'd agree fully, except for
two things. Yes, what Christine's buddy. You remember I remarked
on how cold it was.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yeah, and that letter.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
There's something definitely wrong about that letter.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I didn't see anything wrong with it.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
It just doesn't ring true.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
It still didn't.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Furthermore, you figure it out.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It comes Shorty with my heart.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Oh yeah, yeah, Rusty man good in low nag than surety.
You're sure he won't buck No, ma'am, she won't here.
Give me a hook.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I'll help you up. Oh he's high, Rusty. I don't
think you got the sense you were going with. Oh
she'll be all right, mister.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
I guess cut across by the corner of my shack there, man,
and get out to the road. Most of the snow
is blown off the road.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Okay, ride and come boy.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
She don't do so bad for a city gal.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
No, no, no, rest. He can do almost everything. Hey, Hey,
what's the matter of that horse?
Speaker 4 (15:35):
He's gone low? Coach that old man flow in that
snow bag, Say, rusty your height.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
I can't understand it, man, Why that old nag's one
we used to teach babies how to ride on her.
Speaker 10 (15:51):
Why she ever shied it?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Unless?
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Unless what's shorty?
Speaker 4 (15:56):
You know something, mister? I think that old bag of
boom smell the ghost.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
In a moment. We'll returned for the third act of danger,
Doctor Danfield. But first, now back to Michael Dunn for
(16:38):
the third act of danger, Doctor Danfield. All right about here, shorty,
he files a little higher here under your window.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
There's enough draft here between these buildings. Always piles the
snow up against the buildings. Ain't understand that horse, shine?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
It must have seen a ghost.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
No, no, not a ghost, shorty, that is, unless a ghost.
His legs and where his.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Pants look sasifice and snowballs.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
Damn, it's a pair of lake.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Yes, let's stick faster shorty, we'll find there a text
or something bold and anyway they've gotten about uncovered my dad,
it's it's Frank Parker.
Speaker 11 (17:25):
Sister, you ain't a wolfan yep, sures like your shrove
stiff as old meet neck.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Not only that, Homer, here's a bullet hole straight between
his shoulder blades.
Speaker 11 (17:45):
Well we all hear, Wimmer, Yeah, everybody was shot it
and he's out in his shack like you asked him.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
The sheriff hasn't arrived yet.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
No ought to be. The old almost dark already fall.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
This is the way I figured this situation. Frank Parker
was shot from the window in this room.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
But then how can you go very silly? This is
my room?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
And how could Christine shoot Frank when she was already dead?
I didn't say it was Christine who shot Frank, mister Henfrey.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Well, I still can't figure out why you think mister
Parker was shot from this window?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Then well can't you?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Let's open the window again?
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Resting so dark out here between the building, of.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Course it is.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
How could anybody see to shoot anybody at night out there?
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I'll show you over here.
Speaker 11 (18:27):
Yeah, sure, doctor Dampers, all right, Chardy he like chlamp.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
There here, And I'll am if you all observed that
shaft of light coming from Shorty's window, Why then.
Speaker 9 (18:40):
If it shines right on the spot where we found.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Frank Parker's body, Yes, doesn't it?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Well, slow balls, I am such a fair.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
What does that prove?
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Not very much, I'm afraid until we look a little further.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Look out this window.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
You know that this is the only window facing shorty shack.
There isn't even a door on the side of the house.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Well, what of it?
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Everybody swear about last night? He's been accounted for. Frank
Parker was the only one besides Shorty who was outside
the house, he having decided to leave for Santa Where you, Cliff,
I've already told you. I came straight from you folks
to my room this room, discovered my wife's body, and
came right back to the front room. And you swear
that you never left the house, didn't go outside. Of course,
(19:21):
k Square could chriss You made a statement that it
couldn't have been your wife who shot mister Parker.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Well maybe she could have defened.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
No, no, no, I'm rather inclined to agree with you
that Christine was already dead when Frank Parker was killed.
And if that theory is correct, just who would you
say shot your wife?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Oh? I get it.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Parker killed Christine just before he left, stopped in to
see Shorty to ask the way to Sanita, and then
just as he was leaving, he decided that he couldn't
get away with us, so he shot himself.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Committed suicide. That's pretty good thinking, doctor Danfield.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Yes, yes, but I didn't think it. So you believe
Frank shot himself? Well, of course that's the only way
it could happen in the back. Huh Was he a contortionist,
mister Hanford?
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
It's a gun. Well, well, if it wasn't Parker, it
were Shorty. Uh yeah, that's it. Sly. I considered that possibility, Cliff,
but it snow goes Shorty wouldn't have a strong enough MODI. No,
I caught him making love to my wife.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Oh that's nothing. He said he liked me too.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Surely is a lady killer, all right, that's what Homer
pays him for, to kill the ladies with a teen right, Homer?
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Sure you no?
Speaker 11 (20:24):
The gual wouldn't come up here if I didn't have
if you had some cowboys around that sucks snowballs.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Well we might look at this over with. Cliff. I'm
accusing you of the murder of your wife, Christine. You
did kill her, didn't Jo pred Silly, You couldn't prove
that in a million years. What I think happened, Cliff?
When you came straight to your room after leaving the
rest of us in the parlor, you find your wife
reading a note, the note we found in her hand
from Frank Parker, bidding her a fond and finally do
I didn't command her to see that note, didn't you? Cliff,
(20:52):
didn't even know she had. You read that note and
flew into a raid, grabbed the pistol and shut Christine
right between the eyes. How am I doing?
Speaker 7 (20:59):
Am I?
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Not knowing too much about the science of thermochemistry. You
figured that by opening the window and letting the blizzard
in your wife's body would cool rapidly enough to give
you an alibi. Oh, just a few minutes per half,
But that was all you.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I didn't open the window.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
As you opened the window, you saw Frank Parker passing
through the beam of life from Shorty's window. Shorty was
sitting up reading. You know, remember flank's back made a
perfect silhouette, and bang, you got two birds with one gun. Right,
That's the way it happened, Cliff. Wasn't it wasn't it
wasn't it wasn't it. I didn't do it, I tell
you I didn't. Joe.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
No, I just didn't.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
Joe, Right, I did, Joe.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I can't prove it.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
You haven't got the guy O.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
But I have.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Cliff.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I found it the sackternoon couldn't have the snow, Yes, yes,
the snow. You cut it on the snow. Didn't shoot Cliff.
I found the gun right under this window where you'd
thrown it, knowing you as you did that, the snow
was drifting so fast it would be covered up in
a matter of second.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I didn't not.
Speaker 10 (21:54):
What's the use here's the.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Sheriff, Folks, the surf. Nobody's gonna get measure man surf
top it don't get Wait, how are you dropped in
the name of a dropped to kill him?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I just shot his leg out from under him.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Didn't want him to get.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Lost in miss snowdrif Well, that's mighty good shooting sheriff. Mister,
you ain't a wolfing in a moment. We'll return for
the conclusion of danger, Doctor Danfield. But first, now back
(22:46):
to Michael Dunn for the conclusion of danger, Doctor Danfield.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
Oh that strawberry room, Oh that strawberry wrong, he says, Ah, Dan,
I love Western music, real American folks stuff.
Speaker 9 (23:08):
You know that short he's kind of cute.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Yeah, yeah, how about that? Seems like he was, uh,
trying to putch a little wood with you.
Speaker 9 (23:14):
Yeah, but I pitched him right out in his ear.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Oh, this is wonderful.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Storm's over.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
No more murders, I hope.
Speaker 9 (23:22):
Dan, Yet you're going horseback riding with me tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (23:25):
No, maybe I will at that.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
It's a shame all this other stuff had to happen.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Yeah, it's a shame. Rude, but not unexpected. You see,
when a bunch of people get shut up together for
days on end, the emotions usually got pretty close to
the surface.
Speaker 9 (23:37):
Oh has my feelings for you been showing?
Speaker 3 (23:40):
People are after all animals, and you can't change them up,
not without disasterous results anyway, such as murders such as murder.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Well, I'll have to admit you solve this taste in
your own inimitable style.
Speaker 9 (23:52):
Even if you were shooting in the dark. You uh
were shooting in the dark, weren't you, Dan, You didn't
have any real evidence.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I uh, well.
Speaker 9 (24:02):
The letter, Oh yes, I didn't see anything in it
that would make a man commit murder.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
You didn't, you know? I almost forgot about that letter.
Speaker 9 (24:09):
Take a look at resting, Dear Christine, going to get
out of here?
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Can't stand and stick around any longer. Should wait and
leave tomorrow. But your husband got wise tonight.
Speaker 9 (24:18):
What's best for me to go?
Speaker 11 (24:20):
Hm?
Speaker 9 (24:21):
Hope I'll be able to meet the early train in
the morning. It'll take me to two silents from there,
I'll go back home.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
Mm.
Speaker 9 (24:27):
Then it's only ten miles. I think I can make it. Sorry,
we won't see you tomorrow, love and goodbye. Thank hm.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
I still don't see um rustee. Remember that little game
of murder we played last night?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
And uh the little code that was used by Frank
and Christine who unable Frank to figure out the answer
so easily.
Speaker 9 (24:44):
Well, it was the first letter of every word I remember.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Uh huh now uh, take a look at the letter again,
going to get out.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Of here GTG Ooh, well, I doesn't spell anything.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Oh no, it doesn't. But uh, take a look at
the first word.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
In every Senate going to leave tonight, Dan, mm mmm,
go ahead, meet me Sanita tomorrow. Going to leave tonight,
meet me Sanita tomorrow. Why then, when you read it
that way, it means something entirely different.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Yes, yes, doesn't he? And THEREU was heres clipsmodi for murder,
jealousy and the break up of his home. The girl
Frank Parker was trying to steal his wife.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
You know, But how did Cliff know?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Well, he heard me expose that silly little cold. He
didn't have to be very smart to figure out this one.
Speaker 9 (25:25):
Then, do you know something?
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Mm what, Rusting, You're awfully smart?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Hum coming here, Rusty, you a wolf and say that's
a friends and snowball Hu
And when I.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Do bury me.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
The wetter sky.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
On the lone pra.
Speaker 5 (00:23):
Oh, that was wonderful, Shorty.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
How about loving Rusty? Haven't we had about enough?
Speaker 5 (00:27):
I'm just one more song, Dan, I love western music,
all right, Rusty, I guess.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
We might as well. There is anything else to do anyway? Yeah,
do you mind, Shorty?
Speaker 6 (00:35):
I don't mind the rest of you don't.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Okay, what's come on? All right?
Speaker 7 (00:39):
But us b.
Speaker 8 (00:44):
Oh mersadles getting dusty A been you since way last fall,
and the bridles broke and Rusty hand fine vacation.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Well, as it seems to me, you are the one
who's suggested it back there in New York, A dude,
ranch was just the place you want?
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Well, yes I.
Speaker 9 (01:09):
Did, But I thought that southern Arizona.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Would be warm in the winters.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Well, I guess it usually is. Well, all it's been
doing since we got here is snow, and that's.
Speaker 9 (01:16):
For two whole days now. I'm getting kind.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Of tired of it, so was everybody else. By the
luxor thing. How come on, unless you wanted to listen
to Shorty saying so.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Listener Russians purp bright do.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Gonna me, misterhead A woman.
Speaker 10 (01:37):
I'm sorry, mamma, letting.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
The death that's all your cowboys sing about.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
This is not wanting to be buried out with Parry
and how you want to die and go to heaven
while I'm set up with snowballs.
Speaker 11 (01:46):
And such a press.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Shut up, pristine the rest up.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
It's like the hair.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Even if you don't, I'm afraid your.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Wife is just a little bored by this involuntary confinement,
mister Hanford. A bunch of people being shut up for
two days are bound to get on each other's nerves
sooner or later.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
Well, I'm saying is I don't want to hear any
more things about death, and if I do, I won't
hear It's there's liable to be a real death around here.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Somebody is liable to get murdered.
Speaker 11 (02:07):
Christine, Will you shut off wearing snowballs and soferfresh?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Doctor Danfield, student of crime psychology, as many times provided
the police with a solution to a baffling crime. There's
an interesting case I head for the doctor today. They'll
call it snowbound.
Speaker 9 (02:34):
Three hole days of this, Dan, How long in a
snow snow?
Speaker 7 (02:38):
Anyway?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
No, I'm very well acquainted with sunny Arizona.
Speaker 9 (02:42):
I came down here to do some horseback riding. If
I'd wanted to go skiing, we'd have gone to some valley.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Say, I think I'll go to my room for a
few minutes resting. I want to put on a sweater.
Speaker 9 (02:50):
Go ahead, I'll be in the wreck.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Homer said he'd have a nice warm fire garden. O. Uh, hi,
everybody fairveks?
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Oh shorty, well, uh, now that your boyfriend ain't around.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Uh, rusty, how'd you like to pitch.

A little woman?
Speaker 9 (03:14):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I'll bet you say that to all the girls.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
Yeah, you ain't a wolfan. That's what I get said, Yes, ma'am,
My job on this ranch is keep the ladies happy.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Send me, shorty.
Speaker 9 (03:25):
Do you ever get anywhere with that straightforward approach?
Speaker 3 (03:28):
You ain't a wolfan?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (03:31):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (03:31):
For instance, Well not that Christine Gale, ma'am. She'd never
give me the cold shoulder.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
I'd stay far away from her ifire were you, Shorty.
From all I've been able to observe, that husband of
hers is what you'd called slightly jealous.
Speaker 10 (03:43):
Yeah, you ain't a wolfing man, You ain't a.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Woofing Huh did you already have.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
A run in with it.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Well, uh not me, I I didn't, but uh he
did have a ringer with that, uh Frank Parker.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Guy.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
Oh, I don't tell me that Frank Parker's been rushing
our fair Christine.
Speaker 10 (03:58):
Missus fairbags, ma'am.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
I can see that.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I never get to corral with you.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
You got a little blinder.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
You only got eyes for one man, that young doctor Danfield.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
You you ain't alf well.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
I'm going out to the shack storm and old storm.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Good night.
Speaker 7 (04:21):
Could I see you for a minute out in the hall?
Speaker 2 (04:25):

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Christmals, Oh, all right, joy killer.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
See you in the morning, Shorty, good night.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
In a moment, who returned for the second act of danger,
Doctor Danfield. But first, now back to Michael Dunn for
the second act of danger, Doctor dan Fiel. You and
(05:11):
your cowboys, can't you remember you're married woman? Don't be
taught to go.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Now.
Speaker 11 (05:18):
This year is what I call a ride, and I stoodgether.
Everybody all warm and toasted, burning out. How about you,
mister park You seem kind of quiet this even yes,
you're kind of quiet.
Speaker 10 (05:30):
Well, frankly, mister Clayton, I'm disgusted with this whole mess.
Three days of having associated with this bunch of morons
is too much. In fact, I've just about made up
my mind to get out of here. I don't appreciate
being called to moro. Oh you do, well, let me
tell you Cliff Hanford is a moron.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
You head the list?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Are you hey here here?
Speaker 11 (05:48):
None of that slash frish some snowballs.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I'm sorry, lost my head.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I guess well, folks, you all set the weather of
the storm.
Speaker 9 (05:58):
Glad you're back. This place is just about really to
blow its top.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Oh there's something wrong here that a good sunny day
he wouldn't faked. Well, maybe you ought to suggest that
we play games or something. Man, that'll leave the attention
any suggestions.
Speaker 7 (06:10):
As long as we have such an eminent criminologist as
doctor Danfield and our Mitch, why don't we play murder?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Murder?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Murder? Yes, I say, fast and snowball.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
Chairly send somebody out of the room, and while he's gone,
we all decide on who's going.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
To be the victim.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
And when this person comes back, We give him clues
and he has to guess who it is.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
He goes out alone. Yes, dear, all right, I'm game.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
How about you?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Frank might as well?
Speaker 9 (06:38):
I guess good? You go out first, Frank, will let
you be the detective.
Speaker 10 (06:42):
All right, but don't keep me out in the hall
too long?
Speaker 7 (06:44):
Wrong? And who's going to be the victim?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Why don't you be at? Danfield?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
To me?
Speaker 9 (06:50):
We're sure, Dan go on.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
That's okay with me.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Anything to get the game started, fine, you.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
Can come in off, Frank.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Let's see. Is the victim somebody in this room?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, DearS?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Is it a man or a woman?
Speaker 9 (07:07):
Oh no, we're not supposed to tell that.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Well, uh, let's see.
Speaker 9 (07:13):
I'll give you a clue. Thanks.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
The victim is dangerous.
Speaker 10 (07:19):
And naughty, dangerous and naughty. Mm oh, I know, Danfield?
Speaker 7 (07:27):
Right?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
You very good? Now? How did he get Charles play rusty?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Christine pointed that you, Danfield, Frank isn't smart enough to
figure it out any other way?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Oh no, no, no, not quite as obvious as well.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
You can count me out.
Speaker 10 (07:40):
I'm sick and tired of being accused of everything from
cheating at parlor games to making love with everybody else's wife.
I'm getting out of here, and don't be surprised to
find me missing in the morning.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Leading this land.
Speaker 11 (07:50):
Storm or no storm, well, snowballs and such a fresh sir.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
I didn't gonna go.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
To bed too, No sense just sitting around and.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I'll be along in a few minutes.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Oh not.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
I wonder how that guy did figure it out. Just
a simple code, mister Henfrid.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
A code.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
You heard what Christine said, didn't your rusty?
Speaker 9 (08:16):
Yes, she said the victim was dangerous and naughty.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Well, I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
What are the first letters in those three words dangerous
and naughty?
Speaker 9 (08:25):
Da ah am I dumb well.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Surcerfris and sewer bowls.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Oh they had a code, did they? Oh? I think
I'll just go and talk to Christine about that.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Oh no, no, And I don't worry about it, Cliff.
It was just an innocent little trick time. Sorry I
even mentioned.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
And I hope that guy does pull out in the
morning and on the way to wherever he's going, I hope.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
He freezes to this.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
And I don't like that dame saying you're dangerous and
naughty either.
Speaker 9 (08:49):
How does she know you're naughty.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Rusty, this situation getting on your nerves too well.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
I can't say I like it if I don't.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Oh, by the way, Homer, you've got a bit of
explaining to do.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
You know.

see now. I'll try to get a loose I gotta
be careful. Might be fingerprints over there. Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Maybe it's a suicide note.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Yes, this minute, we'll see. Dear Christine, going to get
out of here. Can't stand a stick around any longer.
Should wait and leave tomorrow. But your husband got wise tonight,
so it's best for me to go.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I hope I'll be able to meet the early.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Train in the morning. It will take me to Tucson,
and from there I'll go back home. Sanita is only
ten miles. I think I can make it. Sorry, won't
see you tomorrow, Love and goodbye.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Why that's turty rd.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I ought to knock his block off.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Could I have that letter down to him?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I'm sorry, Cliff, I'll have to turn it over to
the Sheriff's evidence. Homer. Would you run to Frank Parker's
room and see if he really did leave?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Sure? Sure, Shasta flashes mogull.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I wonder what happens with the gun. You didn't touch anything,
did you, Cliff?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I should say not. I know better than that.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
You came out to your room. Your wife was dead
when you got there. Yes to both questions. You can
see for yourself. You said to yourself that the body
already started cool. Yes, entirely too cold, issus me, Oh well,
no sign up a gun now it rules out any
possibility of suicide.
Speaker 9 (11:48):
Maybe the gun was thrown out the window.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
It was open, you know, yes, yes, it was reste.
Let's take a look.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Stop snowing. If you just blowing up, there's nothing out here.
Speaker 9 (11:58):
Stuff is clean and pure.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Heaven snow. I don't got a bark anywhere. Probably took
the gun with him.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
He's gone, doctor Dan, Frank Parker's gone.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Then he meant what he said in his note.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Yeah, he even took his suit keys Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 10 (12:13):
Anything matter?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Somebody's killed your girl?
Speaker 9 (12:15):
Frank Jordan?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
What not?
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Christine, ma'am, you ain't a wolfing?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
What are you doing up? Shorty? I thought you went
to bed an hour ago?
Speaker 11 (12:24):
I did that? Is I went to my cabin. Who
wasn't sleepy enough to go to bed? I was sitting
up reading. Oh, into that Frank Parker guy.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
He'd come over to.
Speaker 10 (12:32):
Ask me just how to get to Anita?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Oh he did.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
I told him he'd better not try it, but the
snow would stop, and he calculated he'd go anyway.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Then you saw him leave just about twenty minutes ago. Well,
I hate to ask you to do this, Shorty, but
you'd better ride into Sanita and take up the sheriff.
And if you should run into Frank Parker on the way,
bring him back with you.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
What if you don't want to come back, Well, Shorty.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I imagine you could rope and hog tie him, now,
couldn't you? Mister?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
You ain't a wolfing.
Speaker 11 (13:06):
Where folks slow stopped and sun to shine, it looked
like a wonderful day.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yes, yes, doesn't it?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Tell me? As Shorty got back from Ton with.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
The sheriff, he No, I ought to be hearing him anythol.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
I took a look around outside this morning, Homer, I
can hardly believe that Shorty ever went to town. There
wasn't a mark or a hoot print anywhere.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
No snows, different facts covered up tracks soon as you
make them.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Listen, sounds like Shorty's back. Oh what a trip.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Had to fight drifts all the way.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
And where's the sheriff you? Why didn't you bring the.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Shirt snowed in? I talked to the phone though, said
he'd be out the seating.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
How about our friend Frank Parker seeing anything of him?
Speaker 4 (13:42):
No, that's a funny thing, mister.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
I looked for him all the.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Way in, and there wasn't a sign.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Well did you inquire at the station whether or not
he caught the early train? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I sure did.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
Didn't catch a train either, Nope, nobody's seen how to
hear him?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Well, it begins to look pretty bad for mister Parker.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
You ain't a wolf.
Speaker 11 (13:59):
And mister looks to me like he shot Christine and
made his getaway. Yeah, sure looks bad.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
When I say it looks bad for mister Parker, Shorty,
I don't mean it the way you mean Rusty, you're
insane going horseback riding in this kind of weather.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
I don't care, Dan.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
I came to a Jude branch because I wanted to ride,
and I'm not gonna let a little snow stop me.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Oh well, I know better than to argue with you.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
That's a good boy, Danny.
Speaker 9 (14:29):
Anyhow, Shorty's already saddling me a horse.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Oh you know, Dan, I'm like Shorty.
Speaker 9 (14:35):
I think Frank Parker shot Christine.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
There's something wrong somewhere, Rusty. I'd agree fully, except for
two things. Yes, what Christine's buddy. You remember I remarked
on how cold it was.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yeah, and that letter.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
There's something definitely wrong about that letter.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I didn't see anything wrong with it.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
It just doesn't ring true.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
It still didn't.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Furthermore, you figure it out.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It comes Shorty with my heart.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Oh yeah, yeah, Rusty man good in low nag than surety.
You're sure he won't buck No, ma'am, she won't here.
Give me a hook.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I'll help you up. Oh he's high, Rusty. I don't
think you got the sense you were going with. Oh
she'll be all right, mister.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
I guess cut across by the corner of my shack there, man,
and get out to the road. Most of the snow
is blown off the road.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Okay, ride and come boy.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
She don't do so bad for a city gal.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
No, no, no, rest. He can do almost everything. Hey, Hey,
what's the matter of that horse?
Speaker 4 (15:35):
He's gone low? Coach that old man flow in that
snow bag, Say, rusty your height.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
I can't understand it, man, Why that old nag's one
we used to teach babies how to ride on her.
Speaker 10 (15:51):
Why she ever shied it?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Unless?
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Unless what's shorty?
Speaker 4 (15:56):
You know something, mister? I think that old bag of
boom smell the ghost.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
In a moment. We'll returned for the third act of danger,
Doctor Danfield. But first, now back to Michael Dunn for
(16:38):
the third act of danger, Doctor Danfield. All right about here, shorty,
he files a little higher here under your window.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
There's enough draft here between these buildings. Always piles the
snow up against the buildings. Ain't understand that horse, shine?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
It must have seen a ghost.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
No, no, not a ghost, shorty, that is, unless a ghost.
His legs and where his.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Pants look sasifice and snowballs.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
Damn, it's a pair of lake.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Yes, let's stick faster shorty, we'll find there a text
or something bold and anyway they've gotten about uncovered my dad,
it's it's Frank Parker.
Speaker 11 (17:25):
Sister, you ain't a wolfan yep, sures like your shrove
stiff as old meet neck.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Not only that, Homer, here's a bullet hole straight between
his shoulder blades.
Speaker 11 (17:45):
Well we all hear, Wimmer, Yeah, everybody was shot it
and he's out in his shack like you asked him.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
The sheriff hasn't arrived yet.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
No ought to be. The old almost dark already fall.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
This is the way I figured this situation. Frank Parker
was shot from the window in this room.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
But then how can you go very silly? This is
my room?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
And how could Christine shoot Frank when she was already dead?
I didn't say it was Christine who shot Frank, mister Henfrey.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Well, I still can't figure out why you think mister
Parker was shot from this window?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Then well can't you?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Let's open the window again?
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Resting so dark out here between the building, of.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Course it is.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
How could anybody see to shoot anybody at night out there?
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I'll show you over here.
Speaker 11 (18:27):
Yeah, sure, doctor Dampers, all right, Chardy he like chlamp.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
There here, And I'll am if you all observed that
shaft of light coming from Shorty's window, Why then.
Speaker 9 (18:40):
If it shines right on the spot where we found.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Frank Parker's body, Yes, doesn't it?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Well, slow balls, I am such a fair.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
What does that prove?
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Not very much, I'm afraid until we look a little further.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Look out this window.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
You know that this is the only window facing shorty shack.
There isn't even a door on the side of the house.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Well, what of it?
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Everybody swear about last night? He's been accounted for. Frank
Parker was the only one besides Shorty who was outside
the house, he having decided to leave for Santa Where you, Cliff,
I've already told you. I came straight from you folks
to my room this room, discovered my wife's body, and
came right back to the front room. And you swear
that you never left the house, didn't go outside. Of course,
(19:21):
k Square could chriss You made a statement that it
couldn't have been your wife who shot mister Parker.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Well maybe she could have defened.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
No, no, no, I'm rather inclined to agree with you
that Christine was already dead when Frank Parker was killed.
And if that theory is correct, just who would you
say shot your wife?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Oh? I get it.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Parker killed Christine just before he left, stopped in to
see Shorty to ask the way to Sanita, and then
just as he was leaving, he decided that he couldn't
get away with us, so he shot himself.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Committed suicide. That's pretty good thinking, doctor Danfield.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Yes, yes, but I didn't think it. So you believe
Frank shot himself? Well, of course that's the only way
it could happen in the back. Huh Was he a contortionist,
mister Hanford?
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
It's a gun. Well, well, if it wasn't Parker, it
were Shorty. Uh yeah, that's it. Sly. I considered that possibility, Cliff,
but it snow goes Shorty wouldn't have a strong enough MODI. No,
I caught him making love to my wife.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Oh that's nothing. He said he liked me too.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Surely is a lady killer, all right, that's what Homer
pays him for, to kill the ladies with a teen right, Homer?
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Sure you no?
Speaker 11 (20:24):
The gual wouldn't come up here if I didn't have
if you had some cowboys around that sucks snowballs.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Well we might look at this over with. Cliff. I'm
accusing you of the murder of your wife, Christine. You
did kill her, didn't Jo pred Silly, You couldn't prove
that in a million years. What I think happened, Cliff?
When you came straight to your room after leaving the
rest of us in the parlor, you find your wife
reading a note, the note we found in her hand
from Frank Parker, bidding her a fond and finally do
I didn't command her to see that note, didn't you? Cliff,
(20:52):
didn't even know she had. You read that note and
flew into a raid, grabbed the pistol and shut Christine
right between the eyes. How am I doing?
Speaker 7 (20:59):
Am I?
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Not knowing too much about the science of thermochemistry. You
figured that by opening the window and letting the blizzard
in your wife's body would cool rapidly enough to give
you an alibi. Oh, just a few minutes per half,
But that was all you.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I didn't open the window.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
As you opened the window, you saw Frank Parker passing
through the beam of life from Shorty's window. Shorty was
sitting up reading. You know, remember flank's back made a
perfect silhouette, and bang, you got two birds with one gun. Right,
That's the way it happened, Cliff. Wasn't it wasn't it
wasn't it wasn't it. I didn't do it, I tell
you I didn't. Joe.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
No, I just didn't.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
Joe, Right, I did, Joe.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I can't prove it.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
You haven't got the guy O.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
But I have.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Cliff.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I found it the sackternoon couldn't have the snow, Yes, yes,
the snow. You cut it on the snow. Didn't shoot Cliff.
I found the gun right under this window where you'd
thrown it, knowing you as you did that, the snow
was drifting so fast it would be covered up in
a matter of second.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I didn't not.
Speaker 10 (21:54):
What's the use here's the.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Sheriff, Folks, the surf. Nobody's gonna get measure man surf
top it don't get Wait, how are you dropped in
the name of a dropped to kill him?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I just shot his leg out from under him.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Didn't want him to get.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Lost in miss snowdrif Well, that's mighty good shooting sheriff. Mister,
you ain't a wolfing in a moment. We'll return for
the conclusion of danger, Doctor Danfield. But first, now back
(22:46):
to Michael Dunn for the conclusion of danger, Doctor Danfield.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
Oh that strawberry room, Oh that strawberry wrong, he says, Ah, Dan,
I love Western music, real American folks stuff.
Speaker 9 (23:08):
You know that short he's kind of cute.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Yeah, yeah, how about that? Seems like he was, uh,
trying to putch a little wood with you.
Speaker 9 (23:14):
Yeah, but I pitched him right out in his ear.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Oh, this is wonderful.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Storm's over.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
No more murders, I hope.
Speaker 9 (23:22):
Dan, Yet you're going horseback riding with me tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (23:25):
No, maybe I will at that.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
It's a shame all this other stuff had to happen.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Yeah, it's a shame. Rude, but not unexpected. You see,
when a bunch of people get shut up together for
days on end, the emotions usually got pretty close to
the surface.
Speaker 9 (23:37):
Oh has my feelings for you been showing?
Speaker 3 (23:40):
People are after all animals, and you can't change them up,
not without disasterous results anyway, such as murders such as murder.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Well, I'll have to admit you solve this taste in
your own inimitable style.
Speaker 9 (23:52):
Even if you were shooting in the dark. You uh
were shooting in the dark, weren't you, Dan, You didn't
have any real evidence.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I uh, well.
Speaker 9 (24:02):
The letter, Oh yes, I didn't see anything in it
that would make a man commit murder.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
You didn't, you know? I almost forgot about that letter.
Speaker 9 (24:09):
Take a look at resting, Dear Christine, going to get
out of here?
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Can't stand and stick around any longer. Should wait and
leave tomorrow. But your husband got wise tonight.
Speaker 9 (24:18):
What's best for me to go?
Speaker 11 (24:20):
Hm?
Speaker 9 (24:21):
Hope I'll be able to meet the early train in
the morning. It'll take me to two silents from there,
I'll go back home.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
Mm.
Speaker 9 (24:27):
Then it's only ten miles. I think I can make it. Sorry,
we won't see you tomorrow, love and goodbye. Thank hm.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
I still don't see um rustee. Remember that little game
of murder we played last night?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
And uh the little code that was used by Frank
and Christine who unable Frank to figure out the answer
so easily.
Speaker 9 (24:44):
Well, it was the first letter of every word I remember.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Uh huh now uh, take a look at the letter again,
going to get out.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Of here GTG Ooh, well, I doesn't spell anything.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Oh no, it doesn't. But uh, take a look at
the first word.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
In every Senate going to leave tonight, Dan, mm mmm,
go ahead, meet me Sanita tomorrow. Going to leave tonight,
meet me Sanita tomorrow. Why then, when you read it
that way, it means something entirely different.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Yes, yes, doesn't he? And THEREU was heres clipsmodi for murder,
jealousy and the break up of his home. The girl
Frank Parker was trying to steal his wife.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
You know, But how did Cliff know?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Well, he heard me expose that silly little cold. He
didn't have to be very smart to figure out this one.
Speaker 9 (25:25):
Then, do you know something?
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Mm what, Rusting, You're awfully smart?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Hum coming here, Rusty, you a wolf and say that's
