on a desk in front of me. The name of
it was Randall Corruthers. She said he looked like money,
so I said, show her in or here man she did.

Do you wish the morning paper? Thanks? I've read it.
Doar me. It's the mana this ashtra Have you a
silent button? I don't even have a noisy one.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
In all my years of service side, it's been my
constant endeavor to keep things neat and tidy, down to
the smallest detail.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I say, while if it bothers, you just dump those
butts under the waist passage.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
If you will pardon the persuptions up, you could use
a well trained servant in this establishment.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Waste paper baskets clean and.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Emptied all time, never allowed, refuse to accumulate.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
That's not refuse, that's that's month's bills. So I noticed that.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
I also noticed that you have not opened them. From this,
I consumed that your services are immediately available.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah, and I can clothe it and spy of your
glad rags and fancy hand. You are somebody's butler, Oh.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
This is corrector I am first butler in the household
of doctor Mark McGraw. First Bleacliff is the name of
the estate near the village of squid Beach, some fifty
miles in a southerly direction on the Pacific coast.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
You know, I think I'm gonna like you as a client,
mister Carrathers. I mean it's refreshing to get a few
accurate facts with actual we say, priming the partner.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Thank you, sir, what till continue? Not counting the staff
There resided Bleacliffe three persons. Dr McGraw, master of the
house since the death of his wife. His step son,
mister Anthony McGraw, of whom more later, and mister Antony's sister,
missus Cathy. It is on her behalf that I've come.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
To you, sir.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
What is her problem?
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Mister the correct form of addresses corrados, So not mister check.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Now esther Miss Cathy's problem. So someone is attempting to
murder her.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Specifically, she has, upon several occasions been shot at from ambush. Twice,
she has awakened in the night to feel the hands
of assailant closing about her throat. And only yesterday she
narrowly escaped death when her motor car went out of
control owing to some blackguard tempering with the steering mechanism,
and upon numerous other accounts.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
That so enough, you have convinced me that she and
Dada has a problem. What are a local police thing?
Speaker 5 (03:17):
No one has been to the police.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Why not?
Speaker 5 (03:20):
It's a delicate situation, sir. Miss Cathy's brother, mister Tony,
is undergoing treatment for a nervous disorders. The family did
not wish to place him in an institution, and since
doctor mcdraw, his stepfather, is a psychiatrist, he is allowed
to remain at home.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I see he's flat. Where do I Well.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
If a reputable gentleman, such as yourself, we had to
come to Bleaklifts and witness these persistent attempts upon that
girl's life, perhaps they could be forced to put the
boy away where he belonged.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
It's possible. I'm willing to try. For money, Oh, splendid splendidess.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
I took the liberty of drawing in your favor a
draft upon the First National Bank of squid Baits one
week through remuneration in advance of your services to the
Bleak Cliff estate in the capacity of chauffeur.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Nice chauffeur.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Yes, I thought that might be a capital disguise.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Have you a better suggestion? Well, uh oh no, that's
okayle's check. Yes, sir, at two hundred bucks, it's a
pretty big weekly salary for his chauffeur, isn't.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Well, you will be allowed to shop for the vegetables, sir.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Your cut has been added.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
I told him I didn't know one vegetable from another,
that I was a lousy driver, And in more time
than it takes to tell, I was installed at Bleak
Cliff in a room above the garage and told the
weight there until summon. I've been on my progray uniform
with the brass buttons and leather buddies, looked in the
mirror and decided I have missed my calling, but not
by much. Nothing happened for nearly an hour, and then
(04:58):
I got my first buzz. Yeah, I mean the garage.
Speaker 7 (05:04):
Phillips, the car quickly an entrance, get your money.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I have walked in the breaking up.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Okay, okay, yes mam, yeah, let me see.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Why didn't you have to do?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I'm sorry, miss, look, get going? Please done it? Miss?
Where's the spark on this? Well, it's it's a flood
of the house it you know. I'm crying? All right?

Speaker 1 (05:47):

Speaker 8 (05:53):
Haven't you been instructed? Not for the patient.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I'm sorry, I'm not here when I saw him coming
at Miss McGrath with that meat cleaver Ryan actually full
no harm done?
Speaker 8 (06:02):
Come along, come along, now, come along boy, we'll have
a nice long What shall I do with this?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
We'll put it back to.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
You all right? Oh oh sure.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
I should be used to it by now.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
By the way, you're new here, aren't you. What's your name?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Sam?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Sam?
Speaker 7 (06:26):
That's nice turn to the left outside the gate, Sam
and drive straight out to the shore roads.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Well, if I can check. Hey, I just turned that
little key. What ma, I'm driving? I adjusted the rare
view mirrors so that it showed more of her and
less of the rare of view. A mile from the house,
(06:52):
she ordered me to stop, moved out to the front
seat with me, and asked me to drive on. By
the time we got to the shore road, she was
driving and I was resting my head on her shoulder.
Where are we going?
Speaker 7 (07:05):
I've got a little hideaway down the coast, right on
the beach, the foot of a tall cliff.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Mm.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
It's the fireplace, a little bar, some records, got some box.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
It's the wonderful there with the surf pounding outside, hidden
away from the world.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
You feel so safe.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Uh, don't stop.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
You'll like it there.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
I feel as if there's no one else on her
time standing still.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I could just be sure that mother wouldn't worry about me.
Hear it impossible? Okay, Cathy, I'll be serious. Uh. What's
where that brother? He is? Tony?
Speaker 7 (07:43):
I'd rather not talk about that if you don't mind.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Well, Uh, maybe I can talk about your stepfather. I
really should know what kind of a man my boss says.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I go for these drives to forget all that. Please
don't spoil it for me.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
You can't, Cady, Okay, Oh please the sharp turn into
this driveway.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Huh.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
Now we get out here, yes, ma'am down the path?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Oh matter you afraid of high places?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah? You just pushed me off a one.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Oh Sam, they'll be like that.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
You're piling like a little boy.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Come on, I want to show you my little house.
What's so special about your little house?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Oh Sam?
Speaker 7 (08:24):
If you only knew what my life.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Is like, you only knew what mine is like.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I need someone so much to talk to, Sam.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
As long as you can stare at the conversation, you mean, mon, Sam,
I'll show you the house. A path led to a
plight of wooden steps that clung to the face of
the sheer cliff. There was something like the stairs you
find yourself falling down at nightmares. They dropped maybe two
hundred feet to a crustle of white sand broken. Yeah,
(08:56):
you don't have to make your dream house. That's hard
to get to.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Because of Tony Vertigo. But we were kids. He used
to chase me and I'd.
Speaker 9 (09:03):
Run down here and he was scared to follow me.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
State of heights.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
He still is.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
Well, you light us the fire, Sam the woodsman in
the box.
Speaker 9 (09:12):
I'm gonna make it to drink fire.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Who needs a fire? I'm hot?
Speaker 7 (09:18):
What did you do before you took up driving?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Oh? I was a private eye for a while. No,
it's a sour racket. Tell me about Yeah, let's talk
about you.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Here's your drink?
Speaker 7 (09:32):
Thanks, Well, what do you want to know about me?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Whom came here? The sense she was wearing was twenty carrot,
but the story of her life was heavy melodrama. It
seemed that doctor McGraw, a handsome fortune out her, was
a folly of her mother's middle years. But she had
(09:59):
come to us answer shortly before she died and cut
him out of her will. But that was not the
end of it. When Kenthy's brother had then faced for
the alternative of entering an institution or remaining at home
under his stepfather's care, she had begged the doctor to
remain in spite of his warnings that her brother might
take a notion to kill it. But get this, dundee,
it's real deep. In spite of visible evidence to the contrary.
(10:21):
She was convinced that her brother.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Was not out to kill her, but that the doctor was.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I couldn't sell myself on that part of the yarm.
But she looked so awfully pretty while he was telling her,
And suddenly she didn't look so pretty. An expression of
terror was.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
On her feet down.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I rolled her out to the floor and kicked the
lamp out of her. With the glow of the endbas
in the fireplace, I could still see the gleam of
the gun girl shoved in through the broken window. I
hope he didn't see so much, and I told her
a chair to give him something to shoot at. He
was already halfway up the face of the cliff, and
those wicked he wouldn't stairs at the top. He turned them,
looked back, hippos, Mark Winnin't the doctor you know better
(11:04):
than that. It was Tony what you told me was
afraid of heights, couldn't come down those stairs.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
A documentary.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah, yeah, Kathy, I may wind up believing the rest
of your story. I took Kathy back to Bleak Cliff
and stashed her in my quarters over the garage. Then
I went into the main house via the backstairs. Found
her room and shook it down. In a cabinet a
bunch of war souvenirs, German helmets, grenades, rifles and other
(11:32):
lethal gadgets. And the desk drawer I found a letter
had a US Army office of a Surgeon General. It
certified that one Anthony McGraw was unfit for military service.
Vertigo origin childhood injury in the middle ears. Downstairs in
the library I found a shelf of medical books vertigo.
Vertigo was almost incurable and there was certainly no quick cure,
(11:53):
but some patients had lost their symptoms temporarily under hypnotism.
Then it said see narco synthesis. I did.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
Space a big partner, and mister Space, whatever you doing
in the.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Butler's looking for a butler? Namely you may I serve yourself? Yeah?
How know? I get an interview with doctor McGrath.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
Where's that.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Strange?
Speaker 6 (12:23):
After all my years of service, I still started the
master summer.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
You did it again?
Speaker 6 (12:29):
A sorry, sir, I'd better see what doctor McGraw wants.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Forget it. I am answering this one.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
You're not going to drop your disguise?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Why not? Who am I kidding? Anyway? You rang doctor McGraw.
Speaker 8 (12:50):
Eh, I didn't ring for you. I rang for Corrollos.
I ordered him to tidy up my office while I
was at dinner.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
And look at it. Looks need is a pen to me? Doctor?
Oh yeah, sure, knew he chauffeur. I'm only wearing his
uniform is my card? Oh detective, that's right, doctor, And
this one's just about ready to wrap up what you
interested me? Go on, I will. I think you've been
trying to use that boy as a murder weapon against
(13:16):
his sister.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
And you call yourself a detective.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
If you can call yourself a doctor, I guess I can.
You've been treating him with narco synthesis, haven't your hYP
not a drug? Well he's andrech. You breathe him on
his activities for the day, and he follows through, including
assaults with deadly weapons that would.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
Be possible with serting very suggestible patients. But I'm afraid
impossible to prove.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I think I can prove a doctor. You shouldn't leave
you a textbooks lying around loose. I found out the
only way Tony could have walked down that stairway to
Kathy's beach house without falling would be temporary relief of
his symptoms to the hypnotic suggestion unquote.
Speaker 8 (13:51):
I see, what do you intend to do about this
theory of yours?
Speaker 2 (13:55):
What do you suggest You see this roll of.
Speaker 8 (13:57):
Buzzers here on my desk. This one is for myself.
This is to summon corrubbers. And when I pressed this
buzzer to the most hideous plug, Auglease you've ever seen,
will rush into this office, beat you to a pulp,
and dump you outside the front gate. That's what I
think of.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Your fears the way, doctor, I think I like them
better than I do you as you wish. From where
I was on the other side of the room, I
didn't know what had happened. At first. All I saw
was a lot of paper gushing out of the wastebasket.
(14:32):
The doctor show was dead, His midsection was perforated like
a showered drain, and the walls fanning out around the
end of the room. About a yard up on the
base board, there was a splight line of holes. I
dug into one, but I took out wasn't a bullet.
It was a perfectly round steel ball. Then I remembered
the wastebasket, the paper flying out of it, just before
the explosion. In the bottom of it, I found the
(14:55):
answer the base of a steel mechanism with German lettering
on it. It was a wartime anti personnel mind that
the GI is called the Bouncing Betty. The United States
Armed Forces Radio Service is presenting the Weekly Adventure of
Dashall Hammett's famous private detective Sam Spade. I didn't wait
(15:25):
for the Squid Beach Law to arrive. Who could. I
went straight back to San Francisco. You, Lieutenant Dundee, were
waiting at my office morning. Sam.
Speaker 9 (15:34):
Hello Dundy about that McGraw killing. Sam and chiefs down
at Skid Beach asses to cooperate the department down there
at Skid Beach, Squid Beach, Dundy Street.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
That's right, they say.
Speaker 9 (15:46):
You caught a bus at Skid Beach, squid That's right,
a quarter of two in the company of a young
woman answering the description of the mcgrau girl.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
They say that do they?
Speaker 9 (15:55):
And they say they got a statement from that butler.
Well it's open and shot anyway.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
The butler hired you.
Speaker 9 (16:03):
The girl is wanted and you're hiding her out?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Why why not?
Speaker 9 (16:07):
I was established that the girl hated the deceased and
bickered with him constantly.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
The doctor and the.
Speaker 9 (16:12):
Boy were pals.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
That girl's guilty is you've been able to place her
in the murder room.
Speaker 9 (16:17):
Oh no, here's an item. She worked with an Army
ordnance during the war in research subject. I made a
note of that enemy landmines anti personnel. One of the
reports he helped put out was on the bouncing Betty. Yeah, definitely, Hey,
(16:38):
where are you going?
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Man has been so lonesome, cooked up here all day.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Why didn't said Sammy, you were with Army ordnance during
the war.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
I don't know. I suppose I thought it was unfeminine
or something.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
Try again, all right, I'll tell you the truth.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
I had a copy of that report with instructions for
the operation of the Bouncing Betty.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
In the desk in my room.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
So doing it a thing like that, No, I was
proud of it.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
It was the only report I worked on with the
general should have got rid of it.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
I did. I burned it in the fireplace as soon
as I learned what it killed it.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
It didn't burn it good.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
In that sam they found it. Have they arrested Tony.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Not yet, but he's definitely saying he don't have to
take the rap for anything he's done.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
I see, well, I guess there's no other way. Tony
didn't do it, Sam, I did. I want to make
a confession after what happens out at the beach, when
I knew I was no longer safe anywhere, I realized
I had to do it.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
For Tony's sake as well as mine.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
When we arrived back at the house, I looked into
the dining room and I saw Doctor McGough eating dinner.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I knew it was my chance to get.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
Into his office.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yeah, then what well?
Speaker 7 (17:51):
The bouncing Betty was in my room. There was some
wire in the tool chest, and I knew that crothers
always went tight to tie you up while the doctor
was at dinner, So I waited until I saw him
come out, and then I went in and I looked
around for place to planet out of sight. Then I
saw the waistebasket full of papers.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
It was the perfect hiding place.
Speaker 7 (18:12):
The whole thing didn't take more than five minutes.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
We'll say something, I guess I don't know what to say.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
Go on, say you hate me, sir.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I don't wish I did. I'm sorry, baby, I am sorry.
I don't know how long we sat there. I held
(18:43):
her in my arms until she cried herself out, and
we just looked at each other. I know if I
put it off another minute, I wouldn't call you at all, Dundee.
So if my arm's still around her, I reached for
the phone. I'm a lieutenant, Dundee. This is Sam Spade,
(19:05):
Lieutenant Dundee.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Hello, Oh give.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Me that, lieutenant.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
This is Katain McGraw. I wish to make a full confession.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Remmer of my sick.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I walked out while she was still talking to you, Dundee.
I knew she'd wait for you, and I didn't want
to be there when you took her away. As I
walked over to my office, everything she'd said kept coming
back to me. I could see her sneaking into her
brother's room and getting a contraption out of the cabinet.
I could see her hiding behind the door until Corrollas
came out after tidying up McGraw's office, dumping ash prays,
emptying waste baskets, and that's as far as I got.
(19:45):
I went back to my office to wait, and sure enough,
twenty minutes after the papers hit the streets. With Kathy's confession,
the door opened and he came in. Where is I
believe it's turning.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
A bit draw out of doors garden was seeing early
this morning. We should order out some shrouds for thee.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Am. I discommoding you, sir, Now, cartters, I've been waiting
for you.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
With your permission, sir. The ashtray just.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Dumb it in the waste basket.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
I am gratified to note that your secretary has been
looking after things and has emptied your waste paper basket.
Is right and proper?
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Quiet quiet, yes, and speaking of waste paper barks, allow
you have come to apprise me of your part and
the death of the late doctor McGraw. Am I an error?
Speaker 6 (20:37):
You've already divined my purpose, sir. Yes, it was I
who placed that infernal machine.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
In the waste basket. Carucas, Yes, I know.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
It struck me as a bit of poetic justice that
the buzzer, which that dreadful man.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Used as a symbol of his despotism, should be the
instrument of his own destruction.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I am sorry. I'll do all I can.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
No need, sir, no need.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
I'm aware that there is no final justification for taking
the law into.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
One's own hands.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Every man is entitled to trial by jury of his peers.
The poor mister Spade, where it could be found twelve
good men and true who would allow themselves to be
pulled the pier of that monster Dr mcbraugh, period.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
And the report, Sam, there must be some mistake.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
Staytake the butler can't be guilty, that's all fashion.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
It was an old fashioned butler, sweetheart. Where did they?
Can you get help like that? Somebody who empties the
ice trays, keeps the white paper baskets, clean parties up
around the point.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
Well, I'd be only too happy to do the same
for you, sir.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I know you.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
Considering what happened to mister.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Employer, you mustn't allow your mind to dwell on such matters.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
It's wicked, Sam, who emptied the nash in that waistebasket?
Speaker 7 (22:01):
But I just finished cleaning out.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Pay it no, heed, sweetheart. I'll buy you a silent butler.
I'll go take that up.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
I hope I haven't made any mistake on such a hurry.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Whatever does you do to your hair?
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I brushed it out, Sam?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
What happened to the ten curls? I touched them.
Speaker 7 (22:20):
When it was brushed out.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
It wouldn't be noticeable.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Hours of torture sitting under our hot drive or something.
Nobody will notice.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
It puts bounce in your homemakeup.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
I get it, the bouncing eff he caper eyeshadow and
now shade of lipstick. You're like real gone, Oh no,
whom is it tonight?
Speaker 7 (22:38):
Well it's a friend of maud Sam because she's not

It all began on a Wednesday. My secretary, Miss Effie Barine,
(00:56):
tiptoe into my office and laid an engraved calling card
on a desk in front of me. The name of
it was Randall Corruthers. She said he looked like money,
so I said, show her in or here man she did.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Good morning, sir.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Do you wish the morning paper? Thanks? I've read it.
Doar me. It's the mana this ashtra Have you a
silent button? I don't even have a noisy one.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
In all my years of service side, it's been my
constant endeavor to keep things neat and tidy, down to
the smallest detail.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I say, while if it bothers, you just dump those
butts under the waist passage.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
If you will pardon the persuptions up, you could use
a well trained servant in this establishment.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Waste paper baskets clean and.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Emptied all time, never allowed, refuse to accumulate.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
That's not refuse, that's that's month's bills. So I noticed that.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
I also noticed that you have not opened them. From this,
I consumed that your services are immediately available.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah, and I can clothe it and spy of your
glad rags and fancy hand. You are somebody's butler, Oh.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
This is corrector I am first butler in the household
of doctor Mark McGraw. First Bleacliff is the name of
the estate near the village of squid Beach, some fifty
miles in a southerly direction on the Pacific coast.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
You know, I think I'm gonna like you as a client,
mister Carrathers. I mean it's refreshing to get a few
accurate facts with actual we say, priming the partner.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Thank you, sir, what till continue? Not counting the staff
There resided Bleacliffe three persons. Dr McGraw, master of the
house since the death of his wife. His step son,
mister Anthony McGraw, of whom more later, and mister Antony's sister,
missus Cathy. It is on her behalf that I've come.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
To you, sir.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
What is her problem?
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Mister the correct form of addresses corrados, So not mister check.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Now esther Miss Cathy's problem. So someone is attempting to
murder her.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Specifically, she has, upon several occasions been shot at from ambush. Twice,
she has awakened in the night to feel the hands
of assailant closing about her throat. And only yesterday she
narrowly escaped death when her motor car went out of
control owing to some blackguard tempering with the steering mechanism,
and upon numerous other accounts.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
That so enough, you have convinced me that she and
Dada has a problem. What are a local police thing?
Speaker 5 (03:17):
No one has been to the police.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Why not?
Speaker 5 (03:20):
It's a delicate situation, sir. Miss Cathy's brother, mister Tony,
is undergoing treatment for a nervous disorders. The family did
not wish to place him in an institution, and since
doctor mcdraw, his stepfather, is a psychiatrist, he is allowed
to remain at home.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I see he's flat. Where do I Well.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
If a reputable gentleman, such as yourself, we had to
come to Bleaklifts and witness these persistent attempts upon that
girl's life, perhaps they could be forced to put the
boy away where he belonged.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
It's possible. I'm willing to try. For money, Oh, splendid splendidess.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
I took the liberty of drawing in your favor a
draft upon the First National Bank of squid Baits one
week through remuneration in advance of your services to the
Bleak Cliff estate in the capacity of chauffeur.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Nice chauffeur.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Yes, I thought that might be a capital disguise.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Have you a better suggestion? Well, uh oh no, that's
okayle's check. Yes, sir, at two hundred bucks, it's a
pretty big weekly salary for his chauffeur, isn't.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Well, you will be allowed to shop for the vegetables, sir.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Your cut has been added.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
I told him I didn't know one vegetable from another,
that I was a lousy driver, And in more time
than it takes to tell, I was installed at Bleak
Cliff in a room above the garage and told the
weight there until summon. I've been on my progray uniform
with the brass buttons and leather buddies, looked in the
mirror and decided I have missed my calling, but not
by much. Nothing happened for nearly an hour, and then
(04:58):
I got my first buzz. Yeah, I mean the garage.
Speaker 7 (05:04):
Phillips, the car quickly an entrance, get your money.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I have walked in the breaking up.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Okay, okay, yes mam, yeah, let me see.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Why didn't you have to do?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I'm sorry, miss, look, get going? Please done it? Miss?
Where's the spark on this? Well, it's it's a flood
of the house it you know. I'm crying? All right?

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Come on, g.
Speaker 2 (05:51):

Speaker 8 (05:53):
Haven't you been instructed? Not for the patient.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I'm sorry, I'm not here when I saw him coming
at Miss McGrath with that meat cleaver Ryan actually full
no harm done?
Speaker 8 (06:02):
Come along, come along, now, come along boy, we'll have
a nice long What shall I do with this?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
We'll put it back to.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
You all right? Oh oh sure.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
I should be used to it by now.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
By the way, you're new here, aren't you. What's your name?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Sam?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Sam?
Speaker 7 (06:26):
That's nice turn to the left outside the gate, Sam
and drive straight out to the shore roads.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Well, if I can check. Hey, I just turned that
little key. What ma, I'm driving? I adjusted the rare
view mirrors so that it showed more of her and
less of the rare of view. A mile from the house,
(06:52):
she ordered me to stop, moved out to the front
seat with me, and asked me to drive on. By
the time we got to the shore road, she was
driving and I was resting my head on her shoulder.
Where are we going?
Speaker 7 (07:05):
I've got a little hideaway down the coast, right on
the beach, the foot of a tall cliff.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Mm.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
It's the fireplace, a little bar, some records, got some box.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
It's the wonderful there with the surf pounding outside, hidden
away from the world.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
You feel so safe.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Uh, don't stop.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
You'll like it there.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
I feel as if there's no one else on her
time standing still.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I could just be sure that mother wouldn't worry about me.
Hear it impossible? Okay, Cathy, I'll be serious. Uh. What's
where that brother? He is? Tony?
Speaker 7 (07:43):
I'd rather not talk about that if you don't mind.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Well, Uh, maybe I can talk about your stepfather. I
really should know what kind of a man my boss says.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I go for these drives to forget all that. Please
don't spoil it for me.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
You can't, Cady, Okay, Oh please the sharp turn into
this driveway.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Huh.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
Now we get out here, yes, ma'am down the path?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Oh matter you afraid of high places?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah? You just pushed me off a one.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Oh Sam, they'll be like that.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
You're piling like a little boy.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Come on, I want to show you my little house.
What's so special about your little house?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Oh Sam?
Speaker 7 (08:24):
If you only knew what my life.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Is like, you only knew what mine is like.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I need someone so much to talk to, Sam.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
As long as you can stare at the conversation, you mean, mon, Sam,
I'll show you the house. A path led to a
plight of wooden steps that clung to the face of
the sheer cliff. There was something like the stairs you
find yourself falling down at nightmares. They dropped maybe two
hundred feet to a crustle of white sand broken. Yeah,
(08:56):
you don't have to make your dream house. That's hard
to get to.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Because of Tony Vertigo. But we were kids. He used
to chase me and I'd.
Speaker 9 (09:03):
Run down here and he was scared to follow me.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
State of heights.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
He still is.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
Well, you light us the fire, Sam the woodsman in
the box.
Speaker 9 (09:12):
I'm gonna make it to drink fire.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Who needs a fire? I'm hot?
Speaker 7 (09:18):
What did you do before you took up driving?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Oh? I was a private eye for a while. No,
it's a sour racket. Tell me about Yeah, let's talk
about you.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Here's your drink?
Speaker 7 (09:32):
Thanks, Well, what do you want to know about me?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Whom came here? The sense she was wearing was twenty carrot,
but the story of her life was heavy melodrama. It
seemed that doctor McGraw, a handsome fortune out her, was
a folly of her mother's middle years. But she had
(09:59):
come to us answer shortly before she died and cut
him out of her will. But that was not the
end of it. When Kenthy's brother had then faced for
the alternative of entering an institution or remaining at home
under his stepfather's care, she had begged the doctor to
remain in spite of his warnings that her brother might
take a notion to kill it. But get this, dundee,
it's real deep. In spite of visible evidence to the contrary.
(10:21):
She was convinced that her brother.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Was not out to kill her, but that the doctor was.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I couldn't sell myself on that part of the yarm.
But she looked so awfully pretty while he was telling her,
And suddenly she didn't look so pretty. An expression of
terror was.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
On her feet down.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I rolled her out to the floor and kicked the
lamp out of her. With the glow of the endbas
in the fireplace, I could still see the gleam of
the gun girl shoved in through the broken window. I
hope he didn't see so much, and I told her
a chair to give him something to shoot at. He
was already halfway up the face of the cliff, and
those wicked he wouldn't stairs at the top. He turned them,
looked back, hippos, Mark Winnin't the doctor you know better
(11:04):
than that. It was Tony what you told me was
afraid of heights, couldn't come down those stairs.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
A documentary.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah, yeah, Kathy, I may wind up believing the rest
of your story. I took Kathy back to Bleak Cliff
and stashed her in my quarters over the garage. Then
I went into the main house via the backstairs. Found
her room and shook it down. In a cabinet a
bunch of war souvenirs, German helmets, grenades, rifles and other
(11:32):
lethal gadgets. And the desk drawer I found a letter
had a US Army office of a Surgeon General. It
certified that one Anthony McGraw was unfit for military service.
Vertigo origin childhood injury in the middle ears. Downstairs in
the library I found a shelf of medical books vertigo.
Vertigo was almost incurable and there was certainly no quick cure,
(11:53):
but some patients had lost their symptoms temporarily under hypnotism.
Then it said see narco synthesis. I did.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
Space a big partner, and mister Space, whatever you doing
in the.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Butler's looking for a butler? Namely you may I serve yourself? Yeah?
How know? I get an interview with doctor McGrath.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
Where's that.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Strange?
Speaker 6 (12:23):
After all my years of service, I still started the
master summer.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
You did it again?
Speaker 6 (12:29):
A sorry, sir, I'd better see what doctor McGraw wants.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Forget it. I am answering this one.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
You're not going to drop your disguise?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Why not? Who am I kidding? Anyway? You rang doctor McGraw.
Speaker 8 (12:50):
Eh, I didn't ring for you. I rang for Corrollos.
I ordered him to tidy up my office while I
was at dinner.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
And look at it. Looks need is a pen to me? Doctor?
Oh yeah, sure, knew he chauffeur. I'm only wearing his
uniform is my card? Oh detective, that's right, doctor, And
this one's just about ready to wrap up what you
interested me? Go on, I will. I think you've been
trying to use that boy as a murder weapon against
(13:16):
his sister.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
And you call yourself a detective.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
If you can call yourself a doctor, I guess I can.
You've been treating him with narco synthesis, haven't your hYP
not a drug? Well he's andrech. You breathe him on
his activities for the day, and he follows through, including
assaults with deadly weapons that would.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
Be possible with serting very suggestible patients. But I'm afraid
impossible to prove.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I think I can prove a doctor. You shouldn't leave
you a textbooks lying around loose. I found out the
only way Tony could have walked down that stairway to
Kathy's beach house without falling would be temporary relief of
his symptoms to the hypnotic suggestion unquote.
Speaker 8 (13:51):
I see, what do you intend to do about this
theory of yours?
Speaker 2 (13:55):
What do you suggest You see this roll of.
Speaker 8 (13:57):
Buzzers here on my desk. This one is for myself.
This is to summon corrubbers. And when I pressed this
buzzer to the most hideous plug, Auglease you've ever seen,
will rush into this office, beat you to a pulp,
and dump you outside the front gate. That's what I
think of.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Your fears the way, doctor, I think I like them
better than I do you as you wish. From where
I was on the other side of the room, I
didn't know what had happened. At first. All I saw
was a lot of paper gushing out of the wastebasket.
(14:32):
The doctor show was dead, His midsection was perforated like
a showered drain, and the walls fanning out around the
end of the room. About a yard up on the
base board, there was a splight line of holes. I
dug into one, but I took out wasn't a bullet.
It was a perfectly round steel ball. Then I remembered
the wastebasket, the paper flying out of it, just before
the explosion. In the bottom of it, I found the
(14:55):
answer the base of a steel mechanism with German lettering
on it. It was a wartime anti personnel mind that
the GI is called the Bouncing Betty. The United States
Armed Forces Radio Service is presenting the Weekly Adventure of
Dashall Hammett's famous private detective Sam Spade. I didn't wait
(15:25):
for the Squid Beach Law to arrive. Who could. I
went straight back to San Francisco. You, Lieutenant Dundee, were
waiting at my office morning. Sam.
Speaker 9 (15:34):
Hello Dundy about that McGraw killing. Sam and chiefs down
at Skid Beach asses to cooperate the department down there
at Skid Beach, Squid Beach, Dundy Street.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
That's right, they say.
Speaker 9 (15:46):
You caught a bus at Skid Beach, squid That's right,
a quarter of two in the company of a young
woman answering the description of the mcgrau girl.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
They say that do they?
Speaker 9 (15:55):
And they say they got a statement from that butler.
Well it's open and shot anyway.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
The butler hired you.
Speaker 9 (16:03):
The girl is wanted and you're hiding her out?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Why why not?
Speaker 9 (16:07):
I was established that the girl hated the deceased and
bickered with him constantly.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
The doctor and the.
Speaker 9 (16:12):
Boy were pals.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
That girl's guilty is you've been able to place her
in the murder room.
Speaker 9 (16:17):
Oh no, here's an item. She worked with an Army
ordnance during the war in research subject. I made a
note of that enemy landmines anti personnel. One of the
reports he helped put out was on the bouncing Betty. Yeah, definitely, Hey,
(16:38):
where are you going?
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Man has been so lonesome, cooked up here all day.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Why didn't said Sammy, you were with Army ordnance during
the war.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
I don't know. I suppose I thought it was unfeminine
or something.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
Try again, all right, I'll tell you the truth.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
I had a copy of that report with instructions for
the operation of the Bouncing Betty.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
In the desk in my room.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
So doing it a thing like that, No, I was
proud of it.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
It was the only report I worked on with the
general should have got rid of it.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
I did. I burned it in the fireplace as soon
as I learned what it killed it.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
It didn't burn it good.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
In that sam they found it. Have they arrested Tony.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Not yet, but he's definitely saying he don't have to
take the rap for anything he's done.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
I see, well, I guess there's no other way. Tony
didn't do it, Sam, I did. I want to make
a confession after what happens out at the beach, when
I knew I was no longer safe anywhere, I realized
I had to do it.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
For Tony's sake as well as mine.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
When we arrived back at the house, I looked into
the dining room and I saw Doctor McGough eating dinner.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I knew it was my chance to get.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
Into his office.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yeah, then what well?
Speaker 7 (17:51):
The bouncing Betty was in my room. There was some
wire in the tool chest, and I knew that crothers
always went tight to tie you up while the doctor
was at dinner, So I waited until I saw him
come out, and then I went in and I looked
around for place to planet out of sight. Then I
saw the waistebasket full of papers.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
It was the perfect hiding place.
Speaker 7 (18:12):
The whole thing didn't take more than five minutes.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
We'll say something, I guess I don't know what to say.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
Go on, say you hate me, sir.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I don't wish I did. I'm sorry, baby, I am sorry.
I don't know how long we sat there. I held
(18:43):
her in my arms until she cried herself out, and
we just looked at each other. I know if I
put it off another minute, I wouldn't call you at all, Dundee.
So if my arm's still around her, I reached for
the phone. I'm a lieutenant, Dundee. This is Sam Spade,
(19:05):
Lieutenant Dundee.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Hello, Oh give.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Me that, lieutenant.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
This is Katain McGraw. I wish to make a full confession.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Remmer of my sick.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I walked out while she was still talking to you, Dundee.
I knew she'd wait for you, and I didn't want
to be there when you took her away. As I
walked over to my office, everything she'd said kept coming
back to me. I could see her sneaking into her
brother's room and getting a contraption out of the cabinet.
I could see her hiding behind the door until Corrollas
came out after tidying up McGraw's office, dumping ash prays,
emptying waste baskets, and that's as far as I got.
(19:45):
I went back to my office to wait, and sure enough,
twenty minutes after the papers hit the streets. With Kathy's confession,
the door opened and he came in. Where is I
believe it's turning.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
A bit draw out of doors garden was seeing early
this morning. We should order out some shrouds for thee.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Am. I discommoding you, sir, Now, cartters, I've been waiting
for you.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
With your permission, sir. The ashtray just.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Dumb it in the waste basket.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
I am gratified to note that your secretary has been
looking after things and has emptied your waste paper basket.
Is right and proper?
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Quiet quiet, yes, and speaking of waste paper barks, allow
you have come to apprise me of your part and
the death of the late doctor McGraw. Am I an error?
Speaker 6 (20:37):
You've already divined my purpose, sir. Yes, it was I
who placed that infernal machine.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
In the waste basket. Carucas, Yes, I know.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
It struck me as a bit of poetic justice that
the buzzer, which that dreadful man.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Used as a symbol of his despotism, should be the
instrument of his own destruction.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I am sorry. I'll do all I can.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
No need, sir, no need.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
I'm aware that there is no final justification for taking
the law into.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
One's own hands.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Every man is entitled to trial by jury of his peers.
The poor mister Spade, where it could be found twelve
good men and true who would allow themselves to be
pulled the pier of that monster Dr mcbraugh, period.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
And the report, Sam, there must be some mistake.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
Staytake the butler can't be guilty, that's all fashion.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
It was an old fashioned butler, sweetheart. Where did they?
Can you get help like that? Somebody who empties the
ice trays, keeps the white paper baskets, clean parties up
around the point.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
Well, I'd be only too happy to do the same
for you, sir.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I know you.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
Considering what happened to mister.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Employer, you mustn't allow your mind to dwell on such matters.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
It's wicked, Sam, who emptied the nash in that waistebasket?
Speaker 7 (22:01):
But I just finished cleaning out.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Pay it no, heed, sweetheart. I'll buy you a silent butler.
I'll go take that up.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
I hope I haven't made any mistake on such a hurry.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Whatever does you do to your hair?
Speaker 1 (22:17):
