Speaker 1 (02:06):
It's early Sunday evening in New York and in the
Swang Club nineteen a young man named Richie Wayne gazes
around the bar with a proprietary interest. And proprietary is
the word for it, for if Ritchie doesn't exactly own
the place, he manages it, which is the next best
thing you fellas getting.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Everything you want? Yeah, you're bad, Richie. How's things by?
You can't? Bright?

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Oh, Joe, take care of my friend? He Jo's me,

M I've got bad news for you kids. Wow, it's
the matter.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
What would you say if I told you that one
of my most trusted men had let me down? Man,
I treated like my own son. Oh you, Ritchie, what
are you talking about? I dropped in at the bank today.
Oh you should have should let me go? That was
my mistake.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
I've been letting you go too often.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
They tell me.

Speaker 5 (03:21):
I'm ninety thousand dollars overdrawn. Now how do you suppose
that happened?

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Listen, Vince, I can explain.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
Not interested, Ritchie. All I want is my money. Look,
you don't understand.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
I understand. I trusted you and let me down. That
hurts Ritchie.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
And if you don't get that money back in forty
eight hours, it's going to hurt you.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
A lot more.

Speaker 6 (03:55):
Ritchie.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Lord June, how I am fine?

Speaker 6 (03:58):
Let me take your coat.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
No, No, I can't stay long. June.

Speaker 6 (04:02):
I'm I've got to talk to you. But Darling, I've
got company.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Oh I guess she means me.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
What are you doing here? Bruce?

Speaker 6 (04:10):
Now?

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Now, Richie, I'm afraid your friend doesn't like me.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
You No, I don't get out. I thought this was
her part.

Speaker 6 (04:16):
Maybe you better go, Bruce, I'll call you later.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Okay, it's not long, Richie, no high feeling.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Go on beat it. You're the boss.

Speaker 6 (04:25):
Good night you, Good night Bruce.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
What was he doing here?

Speaker 6 (04:30):
Now? Look, Darling, let's get one thing straight. This is
my place.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
You promise me you'll never see him again?

Speaker 6 (04:35):
Did I?

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (04:35):
And I guess I just can't be trusted, June.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Let's let's not fight. I'm in enough trouble as it is.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
What do you mean, fin's discover that I've been forging checks?

Speaker 6 (04:48):
What?

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Well? How do you think I was able to give
you the ring and the bracelet and all the other junk?

Speaker 6 (04:52):
Yes, you know I often wondered about that.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Of course, couldn't buy that on my salary.

Speaker 6 (04:56):
So you've been dipping in the till. Listen, June, I
I hate to ask you this, but you want me
to turn back everything he gave me?

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Yeah? I probably could raise seventy thousand on the stuff.

Speaker 6 (05:08):
No, Darling, fifty. How do you know I've already sold it?
What the jewels you saw me wearing were copies?

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Where's the money? Oh?

Speaker 6 (05:17):
I found a better investment, June.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
You gotta let me have it.

Speaker 6 (05:19):
It would be ridiculous, Richie.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
But you don't understand. This will kill me if I
don't get it back.

Speaker 6 (05:24):
You really think so?

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Of course?

Speaker 7 (05:26):
In that case, all I can say you'll let me
have the money. No, it was nice knowing you dear,
too bad it had to.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Now I suppose Vince threatens to blow a whistle, Not exactly.
He gave me forty eight hours to get the dough up.

You don't think I'm being full out at all?

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Do you know?

Speaker 1 (08:53):
This is all very funny. Can you invite a strange
man into your apartment? You never once ask what he wants?

Speaker 6 (08:59):
Maybe I can guess.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Oh, mind, reader, you're not a.

Speaker 7 (09:02):
Stranger to me, mister Waring. I understand you're one of
the best private detectives in New York.

Well, I imagine you've come up here to see about
Richie Wayne.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
That's right, how about it?

Speaker 1 (09:14):
How about what at ninety grand?

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Why not give it back?

Speaker 4 (09:18):
You know you're gonna have to anyway.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
Oh, I'd love to, Darlings for your sake, but unfortunately
I've got a little partner, Bruce Channing, and I don't
think Bruce approve of my turning back the money, not
after we work so hard for it.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
Well, let me worry about Bruce.

Speaker 6 (09:32):
All right, Mike, anything you say you mean you'll refund
the money with the great Falcon on my trail? What
else can I do?

Speaker 1 (09:42):
I don't go.

Speaker 6 (09:43):
Oh, darling, you're so suspicious.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
You see.

Speaker 6 (09:45):
I've got nothing up my sleeve, nothing but a lovely arm. Well,
shall we drink to our bargain?

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Why not.

Speaker 6 (09:52):

You want to see me do card tricks? Or shall
we switch?

Speaker 6 (10:18):
Do you insist?

Speaker 3 (10:19):

Hello, No, Bruce yese wearing show.

Speaker 6 (11:23):
I'm as predicted.

Speaker 3 (11:25):

Speaker 7 (11:25):
He came, he saw.

Speaker 6 (11:27):
And I conquered.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
Good for you, Babis.

Speaker 7 (11:30):
Oh it was nothing, Bruce. I guess I'm what they
call a sense hotel.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
How long has he been o? Now? Well, he's good
for three hours. I don't want to give us enough time.

Speaker 6 (11:39):
You know what to do to follow your instructions.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
That's right, I think you can handle.

Speaker 6 (11:44):
Leave it to me, Bruce. As far as Mike Wearing
is concerned, I'm a knockout. It's lighter bodies, it's supersigned.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
It's Craft salad oil, the first salad oil ever offered
for your home use by the makers all those wonderful
craft prepared salad dressing products. When you make a homemade
salad dressing, or a chiffon cake or anything else that
requires liquid shortening, you know that much of the secret
about standing success lies in the salad oil you use.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
And that's why the introduction of.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Craft salad oil this spring has been such big news,
such good news for so many women. Craft salad oil
is more.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
Than just a new oil.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
It's a new kind of oil, a lighter bodied oil
designed to blend quickly and perfectly with other ingredients. And
Craft talad oil is a lighter bodied oil because it's
not just refined, it's superfine by a special process created
by Craft. So tomorrow, when you see Craft talad oil

(12:58):
on your grocery shelves, remember.

Speaker 6 (13:01):
It's lighter body.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
It's super fat, wry, light her body. It's super fine
Craft salad oil. Tomorrow, look for the bottle with the
beautiful labels. Now back to the Adventures of the Fulton.

(13:23):
Several hours have passed since Mike Waring paid his visit
to June Dennison, and the young lady in question swept
him off his feet. Of course, she had a little help.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
He came in a bottle.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Labeled Mickey Fidy. Now as we find the couple a
right or right, Julie can turn off the water.

Speaker 6 (13:39):
Now, cently, George a little longer than I know. Well,
but Darling, you'll feel better.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
I feel dandy now.

Speaker 6 (13:46):
Oh, I just can't understand what happened? Where have you
been eating lately?

Speaker 4 (13:51):
Obviously in the wrong places?

Speaker 3 (13:53):
Where'd you get that Mickey nicky?

Speaker 1 (13:55):
The one you slipped in my drink?

Speaker 6 (13:57):
Oh darling, how can you say such a thing? We
were celebrating and you over in those.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
I might buy that June only I had nothing to celebrate.

Speaker 6 (14:05):
Now, Mike, how can you speak that way about our marriage?
Of what our marriage? Oh darling, you was so masterful
you kuldn't Why Mike, you couldn't possibly have forgotten? So soon?
Would you like to see the wedding license?

Speaker 4 (14:19):
I'd like nothing better. What will not be a doruty
name that.

Speaker 6 (14:26):
Makes me miss his dirty name.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
All right, June, the comedy is over. What's this all about, sweetheart?

Speaker 6 (14:30):
I told you it was love at first sight?

Speaker 1 (14:33):
And fus the fact that with me married to you,
I couldn't very well accuse you of taking Richie Wayne
to the tune of ninety grand You.

Speaker 7 (14:39):
See my point, Mike, You wouldn't want your wife known
as a common criminal.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
Whose idea was this? Bruce Cheney's.

Speaker 6 (14:46):
He was here with a justice of the piece while
you were Shall we.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Say out it's a justice comment on my condition?

Speaker 6 (14:52):
Oh no, he was a friend of Bruce's.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
I was very smart of Bruce and I to congratulate him.

Speaker 6 (14:58):
No bother, he just sent him a wire.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
No, no, no, that's too cold. I'd rather take this up with
him personally.

Speaker 6 (15:03):
Oh but, Darling, what about our honeymoon?

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Well that will have to keep angel until Bruce and
I get together and decide who's the best man.

Speaker 7 (15:21):
I guess he's not home.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
Are you sure this is Bruce's apartment?

Speaker 6 (15:24):
Curse, Darling? Would I fool you?

Speaker 3 (15:27):
Oh? Perry forbid? That's why.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
As we go in and wait, the door's locked.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Well, I'm surprised at you, June.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
That's no insurmountable obstacle.

Speaker 6 (15:35):
He's going to pick the lock.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
No, I'm going to pick your purse.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
Let go answered.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
You can't begrut your husband a little privilege that's part
of the marriage contract. Room is entitled the life liberty
in the pursuit of his wife's can't beg here. We
are dirty trick, you know, June. I can approve of
you having a key to Bruce's apartment, and I may
have to take the stuff to.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
Some one's taken them therefore me.

Speaker 6 (15:58):
But look, Bruce, Yeah, it's the matter with him.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
He's dead.

Speaker 6 (16:04):
Oh no, I don't believe it.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
A pretty hard girl to convince it.

Speaker 6 (16:08):
Who could have killed him?

Speaker 3 (16:09):
That's just what I was going to ask you.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
What do you mean, well, thanks to those knockout drops,
I was out for about four hours.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
Now, what did you do to amuse yourself during that time?

Speaker 6 (16:17):
Aren't you overlooking something?

Speaker 3 (16:19):
I don't know?

Speaker 8 (16:19):
Why?

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Am I?

Speaker 3 (16:20):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (16:20):
Where is my motive?

Speaker 1 (16:22):
What about that ninety grand you got from Richie Wayne?
Now you won't have to do any long division. You
can keep it off for yourself.

Speaker 7 (16:27):
Oh you're a wonderful night. You can't imagine how happy
I am that we are married.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
All right, because a husband can't testify against his wife.

Speaker 7 (16:34):
You ought to know, dear, But doesn't work the other
way too. What do you mean, well, a wife can't
testify against her husband either. And you had a motive
to kill Bruce too, did I? Well, you don't exactly
approve of our marriage, and it was Bruce's idea.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
Yes, but I was unconscious during that.

Speaker 6 (16:49):
Time, you claim. But now that I think of it,
maybe you were faking.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
I don't know how long our marriage is going to last, June,
but I can see now it's going.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
To be exciting.

Speaker 6 (16:58):
And think, Darling, it's just be yes, I'm.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
Going to love.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
This came from that closet, all right, friend, gon out? Okay,
why not get those hands up? Wearing Richie.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
I'm sorry I startled you, June, but I had no choice.
Mister Wearing was so insistent. What are you doing here?

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Richie's slumming? And you what's the matter with your kid?
Don't you remember I'm working for you?

Speaker 3 (17:19):
You mean you're working on me. You must have get
them quite a laugh? And I told you about my troubles.

Speaker 4 (17:23):
I'll give you my word, Richie.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
You got it all wrong? How Bet?

Speaker 1 (17:26):
I have so you were in on it all along. No, no,
no wonder discount. Charlie gave me such a build up.
I can't wait to thank him for bringing me to you. Richie,
you've got to listen to reason. Just stay where you're wearing.
I'm not clowning. Come on, June, you hurt me. I'm
taking you with me now, Richie, you.

Speaker 6 (17:41):
Wouldn't want to do that. Mike and I were just married.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
It's too bad.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
But unless you and your husband want to spend your
honeymoon in the Morgue, you'll go quiet.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Come then, Oh, Mike, Hi, Charlie. What's the score?

Speaker 4 (18:05):
All doesn't look too good for the home team.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
I mean, you didn't get Richie's.

Speaker 8 (18:09):
Toe back, not a dime it it's not so good.
Like the kid ain't got much time left. You know
what Vince Castell do to him if he don't take
it up.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
I've got an idea.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
But what'll I take to Richie when I see him?

Speaker 1 (18:19):
But whatever there is, Charlie, you better make it convincing.

Speaker 3 (18:53):

Speaker 1 (18:54):
And that's why I asked so much other news? I
forgot to tell you. When last I talked to Richie
he mentioned he was going to look you up.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
It's going off as trolley mike. We've got to find you.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Why not let him find us?

Speaker 3 (19:04):
What do you mean?

Speaker 4 (19:05):
But if he's going to try to kill you, obviously
he's got to locate you first.

Not to talk to you about Richie? Wayne? What about Richie?

Speaker 4 (19:51):
But I'm working for him.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
You gave him forty eight hours to dig up the
money to cover those checks.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
I know what I gave him.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
Yeah, well, how about an extension?

Speaker 4 (19:59):
Not that yet?

Speaker 3 (20:01):
Now? What do you want to be so vindictive about?
Richie made a mistake.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Anybody might have been with this girl.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
I can't be that tolerance.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
But you never saw it. She's the type of users
voodoo one whip when you're knocked out.

Speaker 4 (20:13):
Has she got my money?

Speaker 3 (20:14):
Now? I think so?

Speaker 4 (20:16):
And then I'll see her very short. You know her name,
I'll find out. I can save you the trouble.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
They tell me it's missus Michael Wearing.

a columnist.

You see anything? No, he's still in there.

Speaker 4 (21:22):
There must be some other way to get into the apartments.

Speaker 1 (21:24):

Speaker 4 (21:25):
There isn't command Vince, give me a hand. What are

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Hearing Where is he in the corner.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
Charlie, Charlie?

Speaker 4 (21:42):
Is he dead?

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Now?

Speaker 1 (21:43):
It's hardest? Still beat and get some water.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
So Richie you've got a row.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
I take it easy, Charlie, you're going to be all right.
Oh my high fellow, how you doing plea? Has he

Speaker 1 (22:00):
And it's square, Holloa, that's just a shock.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
As far as I can see.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
It's nothing but a flesh wound. Charlie, what happened?

Speaker 2 (22:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (22:07):
Somebody plugged me and don't give me that you know
who it was?

Speaker 3 (22:11):
That Mike?

Speaker 2 (22:12):
He got me from behind?

Speaker 1 (22:13):
And how come the bullet ended your shoulder from the front.
But tomorrow I heard you call him Richie over the.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Fart and like the kid didn't know what he was doing.

Speaker 4 (22:20):
And the cops will agree with you.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Was June with him? No, I was alone.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
If you're well enough to travel, yeah, well we go
over the Richie's apartments.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
There's a job for the police and you.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Forget thence Ritchie beat it with my wife and I
wouldn't want the cops to interfere in a purely family affair.

Speaker 4 (22:35):
Shall we go?

Speaker 1 (22:43):
When you shop tomorrow, be sure to pick up a
pint or a quart bottle of Craft Salad Oil. It's

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Look full of bottle with the beautiful label. Now back
to the Adventures of the Falcon. An hour has passed
since Mike Wearing learned that he obviously is never to
enjoy his honeymoon. Now we find the Falcon, Charlie and

(23:32):
Vince knocking on the door of the Snake in his
own personal garden of Eden. Yeah, it's Richie Wayne in sure,
come in?

Speaker 3 (23:43):
Thanks?

Speaker 4 (23:44):
Where's he? None of the blanket fun? You want to
look at him?

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yes, holy smoke, thank you very much, mister MacDonald. Only
it's Lieutenant, And that's what I thought. I don't believe
I caught your name swearing the Falcon. That's right.

Speaker 4 (24:02):
Who are your friends? My name is Vince Castell.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
I've heard of him.

Speaker 8 (24:07):
Charlie, Charlie Beck's my name. Glad to know you, Lieutenant.
I am what happened to Ritchie? Can't you see you
mean that gun? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Yeah, but why should he want to commit.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
Suicide for you?

Speaker 4 (24:18):
Friends of his?

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Work?

Speaker 1 (24:19):
For him?

Speaker 4 (24:20):
Okay? And you can read this.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
To whom it may concern. There's nothing else for me
to do. I killed Bruce Cheney and Charlie Becker, Toy
Nutty or no one else is to blade except the
woman who get me into this.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
June Dennison, Well that's all that?

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Is't that enough?

Speaker 1 (24:37):
I don't know what, Charlie? There are several things. Doesn't
explain one? What happened to my wife?

Speaker 4 (24:42):
Hello, speak of the.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Devil, darling.

Speaker 6 (24:45):
You're not very saddling.

Speaker 4 (24:46):
Who she my wife? Lieutenant? Really?

Speaker 6 (24:48):
Really? Who are you worried about me?

Speaker 3 (24:51):
Mike? Why?

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Naturally if you get angel, we haven't even had our honeymoon.

Speaker 6 (24:54):
Leave it to me and I'll make up.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
You'll make up a lot of things.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
June, you caught that kid to take us off?

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Hold it?

Speaker 2 (25:02):
You know something like? I don't think Richie did commit suicide?

Speaker 3 (25:04):
What do you mean, Charlie?

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Why I got an idea was knocked off?

Speaker 3 (25:07):
Well?

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Why could not let her been tricked up by June?

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (25:10):
Isn't he too wrong?

Speaker 3 (25:12):
Charlie?

Speaker 1 (25:12):
June couldn't have done it. How would you know that
Richie tried to kill you?

Speaker 3 (25:15):
Well?

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah, yeah, she wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
But you were right about one thing. The note is
a phony. It was written long before the attempt on
your life. That doesn't make sense. It does to Charlie, though,
doesn't it tell like you.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Realize what you're saying?

Speaker 4 (25:27):
Sure, you killed.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Richie, Wayne and Bruce changing. Now what's the idea, Mike
Barlio state made a good thing, friend, So I don't
mind steering you to one a little item known as
the chair and Charlie for you, I'll even forget my discount.

Speaker 6 (25:47):
You know, I've just come this conclusion, Mike.

Speaker 4 (25:49):
What's that, June?

Speaker 6 (25:50):
I've really got a brilliant husband. What kept me is
how you knew that the note Richie left with a
phony had.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
To be angel It was obviously written before the attempt
on Charlie his life. Charlie killed, Richie wrote the note
and went back.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
To his own place and shot himself.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Is that again, No, that's the only way it comes out.
Even but Nce Castell and I got to Charlie's apartment,
we found the door locked.

Speaker 4 (26:11):
Before we broke it down, I tried to pick.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Through the keyhole, couldn't.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Why not key was still in the lock, and since
I was the only door of the apartment. You tell
me how Richie could shoot Charlie, make his exit, then
lock the door from the outside. He'd leave the key
on the inside. That cause for Houdini, baby, and he's.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
Been dead for years.

Speaker 6 (26:27):
And what was Charlie's motive?

Speaker 1 (26:29):
You know that as well as I didn't he steer
Richie to you and Bruce.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
In the first place?

Speaker 6 (26:33):
Yes? Why did he star Richie to you?

Speaker 4 (26:35):
He had no choice, no matter.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
Richie made up his mind to come to me anyway,
and by going along, Charlie could keep tabs in a situation.
Isn't that how you knew I was coming over to
your place?

Speaker 6 (26:45):
Well? Yes, but why did he kill Bruce?

Speaker 1 (26:48):
If he could knock him off for fraying you for
the kill that left him in the clear of Vince's
dough and no one.

Speaker 6 (26:51):
Was put with him. Why did he kill Richie?

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Charlie couldn't afford to let him live. Ritchie had him
pegged as the party responsible for all his troubles. That
is why he released you to go after Charlie.

Speaker 6 (27:03):
Well that'll learn me, I hope. So, Angel, what are
we goobing here for?

Speaker 2 (27:07):
This is where we get off.

Speaker 7 (27:08):
That's police headquarters, That's right, it is what's the idea,
Mike A.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
The idea is that I'm working for Vince Castel now
and you've get a nice hunk of change that belongs.

Speaker 6 (27:18):
To him, that I'm your wife.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Look, let's not kid each other. You don't think for
a minute I believe that routine. And you know that
you can't get a license in New York without a
blood teste No, I'm not angel. If you're so said,
I'm getting married, I'll be waiting, and with time off
for good behavior. Who knows you may even be able
to make it by nineteen sixty one. Friends, this is

(27:48):
Mike Wearing. If you don't mind, I'd like to ask
you a question. Do you ever break a traffic safety rule?

a big chance, and making yourself a vital statistic in
the traffic death toll, a toll that's tragically big. Yes,
In most every traffic accident is a violation of some
traffic safety rule. So be careful, whether you're walking or driving.

Obey those safety rules. Remember the life you save may
be your own. The Case of the Proud Papa, The Case.
