The Avenger. The road to crime ends in a trap
that justice sets, crime does not pay.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
M The Avenger swore, an enemy of bull, is actually
(01:47):
Jim Brandon, a famous biochemist. Through his numerous scientific experiments,
Brandon has perfected two inventions to aid him in his
crusade against crime as the Avenger, the telepathic indicator by
which he is able to pick up thought flashes, and
the secret diffusion capsule, which cloaks him in the black
light of invisibility. Brandon's assistant, the beautiful Fern Collier, is
(02:07):
the only one who shares his secrets and knows that
he is the man the underworld fears as the Avenger,
and now.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Oh, climb in the car, quick, Casper, dripping wet.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
Yes, thanks Tom, Let's get out of here.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Casper, you're shaking like a leaf. What's the matter?
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Start driving?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Now.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
That old hag of a gypsy woman she drove me out.
You mean she wouldn't tell your fortune? That's right, Tom,
She shrieked at me like I'm mad. Woman told me
I have no future. Oh that's nothing to get so
upset about.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Gasper.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Probably your stockway of getting rid of customers after she
gets her money.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
That's what I would have thought, too, except she didn't
take my money.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
She didn't take your money.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
No, she threw it away from her as though it
had a plague on it. Then she started shouting that
I had no future.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
No, don't take it so seriously, Gasper. All this fortune
telling is a bunk.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Anyway, I'm surprised you haven't bothered driving out here over
this muddy country road and this weather. Our business worries
can drive him man to any extreme town, and I
am worried.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Look, Casper, you're on the very threshold of a million dollars,
but that's c three M.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
You've invented will revolutionize the wholeness guess the trouble.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
It'll drive hundreds of established companies out of business and
make a legion of enemies from me.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Be careful, Tom, Tom, you almost went off the road there.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
The cliff dropped.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Sheer all along here.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah, it's raining so hard I can hardly see its
muddy roads as slippery as glass.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
I'll take it easy, and my nervous are bad enough
as it is.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
A good dinner will fix you up, Casper. We're coming
to the summit of the hill now, won't be so
bad from there on in.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Okay, look at that rain, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Hey, Paul, we've got a flat steady the car a camp.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
We're skiddy the brates from home.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
We're going over the cliffs. Come Tom jump, Fern. I
picked up that wild music on the telepathic indicator again.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Where do you suppose it's coming from, Jim?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I'm not sure, Fern, but it sounds like gypsy music
could be coming from that gypsy camp several miles out
of town. Fern, quick, turn up a volume a little, Jim.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
What happened, Jim?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Suddenly, right in the midst of a music, there was
a crashing sound and then complete silence.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Maybe the storm cut off the reception.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
That's not very likely, Fern. Telepathic messages are unusually affected
by elemental disturbances. When the indicator suddenly loses contact with
a strong impression like that, it usually means that the
thought itself has been terminated by violence.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Stay with a Jim, looks like this may be something important.
Were you able to pick up anything more? Jim?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Oh, not a thing, Fern, And that must be inspected.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
White, Jim. Remember we invited him to dinner? Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Yes, turn off the indicator furn I'll let the inspector in.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
It, right, Jim. Just when I finish up all the
reports on one case, something else turns up. Hello, Inspector.
We'll be ready to go as soon as I filed
these reports. It's still raining.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Well, it's beginning to let up a little now, some
storm though. Anything new at headquarters, Inspector, Not a thing, Jim.
Had a nice, quiet, routine day for a change. Now
i'll get it burn.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Oh yes, yes, the inspector just came in just a minute. Please,
it's for you, Inspector. Oh what's up now? Hello, Inspector
white speaking? What holy smoker? Would have to have your
way out there? Okay, here, I'll go right away. What's
the trouble, Inspector. A car went over the cliff out
(07:46):
near Marsden. An accident, But I've got to get out
there and make a report.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Oh, we'll go with you, Inspector. We can have dinner
when we get back.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yes, this may be the very thing I picked up
on the indicator a while ago. Now listen, Jim. You
can come along if you want to, but don't try
any of your hunches.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
This is an accident, Jim, isn't this the road we
took to the scene of the accident last night? Oh?
Why are we coming out here again? Jim? You're holding
back on me. What are you up to?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Well, I did a little checking when I got home
last night, Fern, and discovered that this Hopson accident was
the second to occur at that same spot within a
few months.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Oh, in other words, you are suspicious, Yes, but this
is a very dangerous piece of road, Jim. In wet weather,
I can easily see how a car might skid over
the side.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yes, but what was that car doing out here last night?
This is really a private road and no one in
his right mind would drive over it in the storm
if there were any other way of reaching his destination.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Well, this is all farm land around here.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Here's the spot where the car went over the cliff.
I want to take a look around. Come on, Fern, what.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Are you looking for, Jim?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
There the tires on that car. If we're badly ripped.
I wonder if that happened before the car went over
and when it crashed.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Well, let's see if we can find anything.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
The rain seems to have done a good job of
covering up all traces of.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
The skidding the m it's too deep to do much
walking around here.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah, they might as well drive on Fern. There's not
a trace of a clue here.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Look, Jim, there's a fork in the road just ahead.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Ah, and there's a mailbox there too. I want to
see them find it.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Oh, I think you are making a mountain out of
a mole hill, gym. This is just an old country road.
Can you make out the name on the box?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yeah, it's uh Philip Peters.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Now what do we drive up that road and call
on farm of Philippine?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Oh no, we don't. First we'll investigate the other fork
in the road.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Well, nothing as invigorating as the morning drive in the country,
I always say, only when I think of all the
work I have to do on those labs inboratory report,
I can enjoy it as I shore.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Look fern over there.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Oh it's a gypsy can.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I thought they were located somewhere in this section.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Now this motor trip is beginning to make a little sense.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Listen, Okay, can you hear music?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Oh? Yes, it's nice, isn't it nice?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Fern? That's let's same music I picked up on the
telepathic indicator just before the crash last night.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Oh gosh, Jim, do you suppose all this adds up
to something?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I think so Fern.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Come on, Jim, do you think it's a good idea
to go bogging in.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
On these gypsy Oh we'll soon find out.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Look, there's an old Gypsy woman standing in front of
that first tent. She's giving us a dirty look.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Let's see if she'll give us any information.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Stop music, Stop music.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
I see that's they wrong circle, Jim. I don't like this.
Those gypsies look menacing. What you strangers want from gypsy?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
A little information?
Speaker 8 (10:55):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Or you want fortune told across.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
All Yae's palm with silver and she will call upon
the spirits of all romany.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
No, no, you don't understand. It's not about myself. I
wish to ask what then, what you want? I'm making
inquiries about the accident that occurred near here last night.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Gypsies don't know, don't know anything?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Did two men come here last night about seven o'clock?
Speaker 4 (11:18):
You're from police.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yes, I'm connected with the police, so you better tell
me what you know.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
What you saying, Jim, I don't know?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Answer in English?
Speaker 6 (11:27):
What did you say?
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Gypsies? No? Nothing? Go away.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
Let gypsies alone.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Not until you answer my question. Were there two men
here last night? Yes?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
One man come, the other wait in car?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
What did the man want?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
He wanted gypsy to tell him future? Yes?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
And what did you tell him?
Speaker 4 (11:42):
What can I tell him?
Speaker 5 (11:44):
He is cursed, he has no future?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
How did you know that? He didn't read that in
his palm?
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I will say nothing more.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
And I think you better come with us. Maybe the
police can make your clock down and head.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
No.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
No, I'm a new Norman.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Speak in English.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Of course, must die.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
I cannot blame gypsies.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Maybe not, but you know more than you're telling.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Oh, Jim, I think we'd better get out of here
and wait God go away.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Thanks. We'll go better with her if you'll come along
this question.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
No, I will not go.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
You got you always try to make trouble for gypsies.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Come on, those men have pubs?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Why away?
Speaker 7 (12:19):
Gotcho lick goto.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
H Now back to the avenger and the coins of.
Speaker 9 (14:25):
Death, Jim, this case is beginning to look sinister, don't
you worry, your pretty head, Fern.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Things are beginning to shape up fairly well.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Now, Jim, just how much dock do you put in
the weird story that old gypsy woman told him down
at headquarters.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Well, it's hard to say. Fern Inina was wild with
anger because we sent Inspector white men out there to
bring her in. She might have told a few lies
just to get even. That's why I'm going to investigate
everything she said.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
She claimed the Filipino who owns the land where the
gypsy camp is located, gave them permission to stay there
as long as they wished it, didn't she.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yes, And now that either means that mister Peters is
a very generous man, or that he had some reason
for wanting the Gypsies to stay there.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Oh, I don't trust those jypsies, Jim. All the facts
in the case seemed to hinge around him.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yes. Inna admits that Richfield, the first victim, came to
her camp the night he went over the cliff three
months ago. She told him he had no future, and
no one ever saw him alive again. Then she told
Hobson the same thing and he went over the cliff.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Well, we can be sure she's holding something back, Jim.
She absolutely refused to reveal why she told those two
men they had no future.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yes, she conveniently claimed that the spirits of her tribe
would curse her that she reveals her reason for predicting
their death.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
A neat method of holding that vital information.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I'd say, well, we'll soon find out. Right now, I'm
off to have a talk with Philip Peters.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Do I come to Jim No Fern.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I'm going out for Peters farm as the Avenger? What's that?
Who's in this barn? It's the Avenger? Peters, the Avenger?
(16:15):
Where are you? I can't see you, oh but you
can hear me? Peters? What do you want? I haven't
done anything. I thought the Avenger only fought criminals. I
haven't committed any crime. Are you quite sure of that?
Peter's there's evidence against you. You can't frighten me, Avenger.
I'm an honest farmer, and my conscience is clear. And
(16:35):
you shouldn't mind answering some questions if they'll help solve
a murder. What are you getting at just this? Why
did you give that tribal gypsies permissions to live rent
free on your land?
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Well?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I didn't that, Well, I mean that is I What
do you mean, Peters? If you didn't want them to stay,
you could have driven them off. This is your land,
isn't it. Yes? That is in a way not making sense. Peters.
I'm not going to believe you're an as you play
to be well, all right. I was wanted never to
tell this, but I didn't count on getting mixed up
(17:08):
in anything crooked. Do you own the land or don't you?
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
No, I don't own it. The property's in my name
and I run this farm. But somebody else really owns
the place.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Who owns it?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Peters Well, doctor Myleott, who lives at seven Widows, he's
the owner, but he doesn't want anybody to know it.
He said I could live here rent free as long
as I pretended the place was mine. What did doctor Myleott?
I did to let the gypsies stay here? Yes, and
that was part of the bargain. I was to let
the gypsies camp here until he told me to drive
them off. They've been here for almost a year now.
(17:41):
I don't think they'll want to stay much longer. Peters, Well,
i'll be out on my ear now too. Say nothing
of this and you will be protected. You have aded justice, Peters.
But remember you must say nothing of this encounter with
the Avenger.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Oh, well, there's seven Willows just ahead. I think this
(18:17):
must be the language meant for me to meet him.
I thought he'd be here waiting. I hope nothing's happened.
Oh there he is.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Jim over here, hellover you to the minute.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Get in the card, Jim and tell me what's been happening.
But in the world were you doing up at seven Willows?
Speaker 6 (18:33):
I thought you were.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Going to see Peter's.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I went to Peters first and then came here to
compline on doctor Mylett.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Doctor Milott. Who's he?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
He's a mind analyst who specializes in silent thought as
a nerve treatment for wealthy clients.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Well, how does he get into the picture? Did you
question him?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
No? I went into Seven Willows merely to observe and listen.
No one saw me.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Did you find out anything?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Jim plenty? I think doctor Mylett was interviewing a young
lady by the name of Helen Dresden. When she asked
him for advice about her future. He suggested that she
visit the gypsies.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Ah, this is beginning to add up to something.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
At last, we'll have to work fast. Burns starting to rain.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Well, what do we do? Jim?
Speaker 1 (19:11):
First, we'll interrset miss Presdent that she drives past here.
I'll block the road with our car and she'll have
to stop. Eh, we better get out of the car
feron all right, Oh, here she comes.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Now what's the mother?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
No, we want to speak to you for a moment.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
What is this?
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Listen if you oh, please don't be driving, Miss Dresden.
This is Jim Brandon of the police department. Oh what do.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
You want, Miss Presden? I have reason to believe your
life is in danger.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Well that's a perfectly silly idea. Oh no, it isn't,
miss Dresden. Several deaths have already occurred, and mister Brandon
thinks you are the next timeline.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
You're headed for the gypsy camp, aren't you, Miss Presdent.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
If you wish to save your life, you'll let miss
Callier go in your place.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
But why you.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Will have to trust us, Miss Tresden.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
What do you want me to do?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
You take my car and go directly to the police headquarters.
We'll borrow your car and go to the gypsy camp.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
All right. I don't get this, But if you're from
the police, I suppose you know what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Oh and one other thing is president. What instructions did
doctor Mylett give you?
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Why?
Speaker 6 (20:18):
Well, none?
Speaker 4 (20:18):
In particular.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
He told me the gypsy woman Joannina was clever at
for telling the future to go over there.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
And oh yes, he told me to give her this
old silver coin.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Let me see that coin.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Here.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Look at this fern.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
What is it, Jim, I've never seen a silver piece
like that.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
No, fern, this is doctor Milett's coin of death. Ah,
that's Nina's tent. Fern. I'll wait here while you're go inside.
(20:59):
You know what to do, yes, Jim, this.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Should only take a minute. Medamian Nina, Medamiannina, May I
come inside?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Come, Oh it's you. What you want now?
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Come make more trouble for gypsies.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
No, Madamianina, I want to have my feethbread Now you'll
make joke of gypsy. No, seriously, I want you to
tell my fortune.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Sit down then across the gypsy's time with silver.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
Yes, here's a coin. No, No, what Banta, you are cursted.
You have no future. Go away, Gotto go away, Medai.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Go Oh you have no future, you have no future.
I have my faith.
Speaker 7 (21:45):
Gottel you will die, you will.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Die now, Berne. Are you sure you understand exactly what
(22:11):
to do?
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Yes, Jim. When we come to that big pine tree,
just before we reached the place where those other cars
went over the cliff, I'm to jump out of the car.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I'll stay with the car a moment longer and then
follow you.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
We'll be sure to jump in time.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Jim, o a bar when you jump out, keep well
off the road so no one can see you.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
I understand.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Open the car door. Burn get ready. We're coming to
the place. Okay, Berne jump.
Speaker 4 (22:37):

hope Jim makes it all right.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Gosh, I'm covered with Mark turn Maria hit you you

Speaker 4 (22:52):

It's time for action. Forern do be cackled Jim. All right,

He's not going to get away as easy as that.

to the reporters. Three reporters, inspector, so soon, well, listen
to something hot, Jim, until I got mylot's confession. Those
zests will book his accidents or really you should be
more careful, Inspector. Now, Jim, don't start that. Okay, okay, Inspector,
what do you want to know? Well, Mylott confessed that
he was paid by a big businessman to get rid
(25:38):
of Bridgefield and Hobson because both of them were about
to pattern a new process that would have ruined their competitors.
But he won't say a word about that Dresden girl.
Why did he plan to get rid of her?
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Yes, Jim, I don't understand that either.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Helen Dresden was to inherit a fortune on her twenty
fifth birthday, which falls next week. Now, miss Dresden didn't
know this, but one of her cousins did and paid
doctor Milett to get rid of Helen so the fortune
would be divided among the remaining relatives.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
The Jim, all this doesn't explain what pap the gypsies
paid the affair.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
The Gypsies were the mysterious angle in the case Fern. Actually,
though they had nothing to do with the murders.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
They didn't.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
No, doctor Myleott had the Gypsies on that land in
order to have an excuse to end his victims out
on that deserted road. While his victim visited the gypsy
Mileott laid his trap. See, he placed a big plank
with long spikes in it across the road just at
the summit of the cliff, and he covered the whole
thing with mud so he couldn't be seen. Now, the
(26:38):
road was very narrowly at the summit, and when the
tires blew out, the car skidded enough to send it
right over the cliff. And they always chose rainy weather
for the job, so that the car would be certain
to skid and to make it look more like an accident.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
But those coins, what about, then, Jim?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
The coins were just a precaution to cast suspicion on
the Gypsies in case the victim might survive the accident.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
But why did the old gypsy go wild at the
very sight of those coins until everyone who offered them
to her that he had no future?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Because Ferne those coins were exact copies of the silver
Judas accepted for the betrayal. All Gypsies have been taught
to hate them and to believe that all possessed them doomed.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Well. I think Ianina an apology.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Her predictions proved true in this case. Anyway, those really
were coins of death.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
All characters, names, places, and plots used in the Avenger
program are fictitious. Any similarity to persons living or dead
is purely coincidental.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
This is a pot a hot not remember. Listen for
another adventure on the Avenger
The Avenger. The road to crime ends in a trap
that justice sets, crime does not pay.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
M The Avenger swore, an enemy of bull, is actually
(01:47):
Jim Brandon, a famous biochemist. Through his numerous scientific experiments,
Brandon has perfected two inventions to aid him in his
crusade against crime as the Avenger, the telepathic indicator by
which he is able to pick up thought flashes, and
the secret diffusion capsule, which cloaks him in the black
light of invisibility. Brandon's assistant, the beautiful Fern Collier, is
(02:07):
the only one who shares his secrets and knows that
he is the man the underworld fears as the Avenger,
and now.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
The Avenger and the coins of death.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Yes, come into tent out of breath.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
You come to Yanina, the Queen of the Gypsies, to
have your future foretold?
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Is that not so?
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Yes, my name is Casper Hobson. A friend of mine recommended.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
You across the table in the lamp light.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
I would see your face now.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Crossed this old Gypsies palm with silver, and she will
call upon these spirits of all Romany to reveal your
future to yr Nina.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
Yes, I have a.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Coin for you.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Here, a rare old silver coin here, take it.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
No, no, I curse upon you, goddle, What is it?
Speaker 6 (03:20):
What's the matter?
Speaker 4 (03:21):
This silver is a cursed You're doomed.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
The curse upon you? Gotta go away? Go away? You
have no future.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Listen here, I have a right to know what you're raising.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Go away, Goddel, get out, Baldo, baldo, con quit, thrive this.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Cursed one from the gypsy co All right, I'll go.
This sort of thing is outrageous if be reported to
the police. Go.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
The mark of death is upon you. You have no future.
Part of my sight's dodgel. Go go, you have no future.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Oh, climb in the car, quick, Casper, dripping wet.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
Yes, thanks Tom, Let's get out of here.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Casper, you're shaking like a leaf. What's the matter?
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Start driving?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Now.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
That old hag of a gypsy woman she drove me out.
You mean she wouldn't tell your fortune? That's right, Tom,
She shrieked at me like I'm mad. Woman told me
I have no future. Oh that's nothing to get so
upset about.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Gasper.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Probably your stockway of getting rid of customers after she
gets her money.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
That's what I would have thought, too, except she didn't
take my money.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
She didn't take your money.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
No, she threw it away from her as though it
had a plague on it. Then she started shouting that
I had no future.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
No, don't take it so seriously, Gasper. All this fortune
telling is a bunk.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Anyway, I'm surprised you haven't bothered driving out here over
this muddy country road and this weather. Our business worries
can drive him man to any extreme town, and I
am worried.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Look, Casper, you're on the very threshold of a million dollars,
but that's c three M.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
You've invented will revolutionize the wholeness guess the trouble.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
It'll drive hundreds of established companies out of business and
make a legion of enemies from me.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Be careful, Tom, Tom, you almost went off the road there.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
The cliff dropped.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Sheer all along here.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah, it's raining so hard I can hardly see its
muddy roads as slippery as glass.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
I'll take it easy, and my nervous are bad enough
as it is.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
A good dinner will fix you up, Casper. We're coming
to the summit of the hill now, won't be so
bad from there on in.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Okay, look at that rain, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Hey, Paul, we've got a flat steady the car a camp.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
We're skiddy the brates from home.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
We're going over the cliffs. Come Tom jump, Fern. I
picked up that wild music on the telepathic indicator again.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Where do you suppose it's coming from, Jim?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I'm not sure, Fern, but it sounds like gypsy music
could be coming from that gypsy camp several miles out
of town. Fern, quick, turn up a volume a little, Jim.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
What happened, Jim?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Suddenly, right in the midst of a music, there was
a crashing sound and then complete silence.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Maybe the storm cut off the reception.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
That's not very likely, Fern. Telepathic messages are unusually affected
by elemental disturbances. When the indicator suddenly loses contact with
a strong impression like that, it usually means that the
thought itself has been terminated by violence.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Stay with a Jim, looks like this may be something important.
Were you able to pick up anything more? Jim?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Oh, not a thing, Fern, And that must be inspected.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
White, Jim. Remember we invited him to dinner? Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Yes, turn off the indicator furn I'll let the inspector in.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
It, right, Jim. Just when I finish up all the
reports on one case, something else turns up. Hello, Inspector.
We'll be ready to go as soon as I filed
these reports. It's still raining.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Well, it's beginning to let up a little now, some
storm though. Anything new at headquarters, Inspector, Not a thing, Jim.
Had a nice, quiet, routine day for a change. Now
i'll get it burn.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Oh yes, yes, the inspector just came in just a minute. Please,
it's for you, Inspector. Oh what's up now? Hello, Inspector
white speaking? What holy smoker? Would have to have your
way out there? Okay, here, I'll go right away. What's
the trouble, Inspector. A car went over the cliff out
(07:46):
near Marsden. An accident, But I've got to get out
there and make a report.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Oh, we'll go with you, Inspector. We can have dinner
when we get back.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yes, this may be the very thing I picked up
on the indicator a while ago. Now listen, Jim. You
can come along if you want to, but don't try
any of your hunches.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
This is an accident, Jim, isn't this the road we
took to the scene of the accident last night? Oh?
Why are we coming out here again? Jim? You're holding
back on me. What are you up to?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Well, I did a little checking when I got home
last night, Fern, and discovered that this Hopson accident was
the second to occur at that same spot within a
few months.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Oh, in other words, you are suspicious, Yes, but this
is a very dangerous piece of road, Jim. In wet weather,
I can easily see how a car might skid over
the side.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yes, but what was that car doing out here last night?
This is really a private road and no one in
his right mind would drive over it in the storm
if there were any other way of reaching his destination.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Well, this is all farm land around here.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Here's the spot where the car went over the cliff.
I want to take a look around. Come on, Fern, what.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Are you looking for, Jim?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
There the tires on that car. If we're badly ripped.
I wonder if that happened before the car went over
and when it crashed.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Well, let's see if we can find anything.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
The rain seems to have done a good job of
covering up all traces of.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
The skidding the m it's too deep to do much
walking around here.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah, they might as well drive on Fern. There's not
a trace of a clue here.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Look, Jim, there's a fork in the road just ahead.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Ah, and there's a mailbox there too. I want to
see them find it.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Oh, I think you are making a mountain out of
a mole hill, gym. This is just an old country road.
Can you make out the name on the box?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yeah, it's uh Philip Peters.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Now what do we drive up that road and call
on farm of Philippine?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Oh no, we don't. First we'll investigate the other fork
in the road.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Well, nothing as invigorating as the morning drive in the country,
I always say, only when I think of all the
work I have to do on those labs inboratory report,
I can enjoy it as I shore.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Look fern over there.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Oh it's a gypsy can.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I thought they were located somewhere in this section.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Now this motor trip is beginning to make a little sense.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Listen, Okay, can you hear music?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Oh? Yes, it's nice, isn't it nice?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Fern? That's let's same music I picked up on the
telepathic indicator just before the crash last night.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Oh gosh, Jim, do you suppose all this adds up
to something?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I think so Fern.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Come on, Jim, do you think it's a good idea
to go bogging in.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
On these gypsy Oh we'll soon find out.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Look, there's an old Gypsy woman standing in front of
that first tent. She's giving us a dirty look.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Let's see if she'll give us any information.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Stop music, Stop music.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
I see that's they wrong circle, Jim. I don't like this.
Those gypsies look menacing. What you strangers want from gypsy?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
A little information?
Speaker 8 (10:55):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Or you want fortune told across.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
All Yae's palm with silver and she will call upon
the spirits of all romany.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
No, no, you don't understand. It's not about myself. I
wish to ask what then, what you want? I'm making
inquiries about the accident that occurred near here last night.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Gypsies don't know, don't know anything?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Did two men come here last night about seven o'clock?
Speaker 4 (11:18):
You're from police.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yes, I'm connected with the police, so you better tell
me what you know.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
What you saying, Jim, I don't know?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Answer in English?
Speaker 6 (11:27):
What did you say?
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Gypsies? No? Nothing? Go away.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
Let gypsies alone.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Not until you answer my question. Were there two men
here last night? Yes?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
One man come, the other wait in car?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
What did the man want?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
He wanted gypsy to tell him future? Yes?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
And what did you tell him?
Speaker 4 (11:42):
What can I tell him?
Speaker 5 (11:44):
He is cursed, he has no future?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
How did you know that? He didn't read that in
his palm?
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I will say nothing more.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
And I think you better come with us. Maybe the
police can make your clock down and head.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
No.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
No, I'm a new Norman.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Speak in English.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Of course, must die.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
I cannot blame gypsies.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Maybe not, but you know more than you're telling.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Oh, Jim, I think we'd better get out of here
and wait God go away.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Thanks. We'll go better with her if you'll come along
this question.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
No, I will not go.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
You got you always try to make trouble for gypsies.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Come on, those men have pubs?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Why away?
Speaker 7 (12:19):
Gotcho lick goto.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
H Now back to the avenger and the coins of.
Speaker 9 (14:25):
Death, Jim, this case is beginning to look sinister, don't
you worry, your pretty head, Fern.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Things are beginning to shape up fairly well.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Now, Jim, just how much dock do you put in
the weird story that old gypsy woman told him down
at headquarters.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Well, it's hard to say. Fern Inina was wild with
anger because we sent Inspector white men out there to
bring her in. She might have told a few lies
just to get even. That's why I'm going to investigate
everything she said.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
She claimed the Filipino who owns the land where the
gypsy camp is located, gave them permission to stay there
as long as they wished it, didn't she.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yes, And now that either means that mister Peters is
a very generous man, or that he had some reason
for wanting the Gypsies to stay there.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Oh, I don't trust those jypsies, Jim. All the facts
in the case seemed to hinge around him.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yes. Inna admits that Richfield, the first victim, came to
her camp the night he went over the cliff three
months ago. She told him he had no future, and
no one ever saw him alive again. Then she told
Hobson the same thing and he went over the cliff.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Well, we can be sure she's holding something back, Jim.
She absolutely refused to reveal why she told those two
men they had no future.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yes, she conveniently claimed that the spirits of her tribe
would curse her that she reveals her reason for predicting
their death.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
A neat method of holding that vital information.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I'd say, well, we'll soon find out. Right now, I'm
off to have a talk with Philip Peters.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Do I come to Jim No Fern.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I'm going out for Peters farm as the Avenger? What's that?
Who's in this barn? It's the Avenger? Peters, the Avenger?
(16:15):
Where are you? I can't see you, oh but you
can hear me? Peters? What do you want? I haven't
done anything. I thought the Avenger only fought criminals. I
haven't committed any crime. Are you quite sure of that?
Peter's there's evidence against you. You can't frighten me, Avenger.
I'm an honest farmer, and my conscience is clear. And
(16:35):
you shouldn't mind answering some questions if they'll help solve
a murder. What are you getting at just this? Why
did you give that tribal gypsies permissions to live rent
free on your land?
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Well?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I didn't that, Well, I mean that is I What
do you mean, Peters? If you didn't want them to stay,
you could have driven them off. This is your land,
isn't it. Yes? That is in a way not making sense. Peters.
I'm not going to believe you're an as you play
to be well, all right. I was wanted never to
tell this, but I didn't count on getting mixed up
(17:08):
in anything crooked. Do you own the land or don't you?
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
No, I don't own it. The property's in my name
and I run this farm. But somebody else really owns
the place.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Who owns it?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Peters Well, doctor Myleott, who lives at seven Widows, he's
the owner, but he doesn't want anybody to know it.
He said I could live here rent free as long
as I pretended the place was mine. What did doctor Myleott?
I did to let the gypsies stay here? Yes, and
that was part of the bargain. I was to let
the gypsies camp here until he told me to drive
them off. They've been here for almost a year now.
(17:41):
I don't think they'll want to stay much longer. Peters, Well,
i'll be out on my ear now too. Say nothing
of this and you will be protected. You have aded justice, Peters.
But remember you must say nothing of this encounter with
the Avenger.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Oh, well, there's seven Willows just ahead. I think this
(18:17):
must be the language meant for me to meet him.
I thought he'd be here waiting. I hope nothing's happened.
Oh there he is.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Jim over here, hellover you to the minute.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Get in the card, Jim and tell me what's been happening.
But in the world were you doing up at seven Willows?
Speaker 6 (18:33):
I thought you were.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Going to see Peter's.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I went to Peters first and then came here to
compline on doctor Mylett.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Doctor Milott. Who's he?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
He's a mind analyst who specializes in silent thought as
a nerve treatment for wealthy clients.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Well, how does he get into the picture? Did you
question him?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
No? I went into Seven Willows merely to observe and listen.
No one saw me.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Did you find out anything?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Jim plenty? I think doctor Mylett was interviewing a young
lady by the name of Helen Dresden. When she asked
him for advice about her future. He suggested that she
visit the gypsies.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Ah, this is beginning to add up to something.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
At last, we'll have to work fast. Burns starting to rain.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Well, what do we do? Jim?
Speaker 1 (19:11):
First, we'll interrset miss Presdent that she drives past here.
I'll block the road with our car and she'll have
to stop. Eh, we better get out of the car
feron all right, Oh, here she comes.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Now what's the mother?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
No, we want to speak to you for a moment.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
What is this?
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Listen if you oh, please don't be driving, Miss Dresden.
This is Jim Brandon of the police department. Oh what do.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
You want, Miss Presden? I have reason to believe your
life is in danger.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Well that's a perfectly silly idea. Oh no, it isn't,
miss Dresden. Several deaths have already occurred, and mister Brandon
thinks you are the next timeline.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
You're headed for the gypsy camp, aren't you, Miss Presdent.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
If you wish to save your life, you'll let miss
Callier go in your place.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
But why you.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Will have to trust us, Miss Tresden.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
What do you want me to do?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
You take my car and go directly to the police headquarters.
We'll borrow your car and go to the gypsy camp.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
All right. I don't get this, But if you're from
the police, I suppose you know what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Oh and one other thing is president. What instructions did
doctor Mylett give you?
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Why?
Speaker 6 (20:18):
Well, none?
Speaker 4 (20:18):
In particular.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
He told me the gypsy woman Joannina was clever at
for telling the future to go over there.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
And oh yes, he told me to give her this
old silver coin.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Let me see that coin.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Here.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Look at this fern.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
What is it, Jim, I've never seen a silver piece
like that.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
No, fern, this is doctor Milett's coin of death. Ah,
that's Nina's tent. Fern. I'll wait here while you're go inside.
(20:59):
You know what to do, yes, Jim, this.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Should only take a minute. Medamian Nina, Medamiannina, May I
come inside?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Come, Oh it's you. What you want now?
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Come make more trouble for gypsies.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
No, Madamianina, I want to have my feethbread Now you'll
make joke of gypsy. No, seriously, I want you to
tell my fortune.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Sit down then across the gypsy's time with silver.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
Yes, here's a coin. No, No, what Banta, you are cursted.
You have no future. Go away, Gotto go away, Medai.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Go Oh you have no future, you have no future.
I have my faith.
Speaker 7 (21:45):
Gottel you will die, you will.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Die now, Berne. Are you sure you understand exactly what
(22:11):
to do?
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Yes, Jim. When we come to that big pine tree,
just before we reached the place where those other cars
went over the cliff, I'm to jump out of the car.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I'll stay with the car a moment longer and then
follow you.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
We'll be sure to jump in time.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Jim, o a bar when you jump out, keep well
off the road so no one can see you.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
I understand.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Open the car door. Burn get ready. We're coming to
the place. Okay, Berne jump.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Well. I don't seem to have any broken bones. I
hope Jim makes it all right.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Gosh, I'm covered with Mark turn Maria hit you you
are right? Oh fine, There goes the car off the cliff.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Fern. Come on, look, Jim, there's a man on the
road up ahead.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yes, he's pulling in a big board from the road.
It's time for action. Forern do be cackled Jim. All right,
doctor Milat, I've got your Coveroard stand where you are.
It's the police. You're a little schemed and work this time.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Doctor you again, he's running toward the click.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
He's not going to get away as easy as that.
I'll head him off. Oh yeah, doctor a murder Milt,
and you're trying to get what's coming to you. Jim,
you're right, that's fern. I have to knock mile it
out for a moment. Come on, let's get our prisoner
(23:31):
back to town. Here drenched, Jim, there are just a
(25:17):
few points I wanted to get clear before I speak
to the reporters. Three reporters, inspector, so soon, well, listen
to something hot, Jim, until I got mylot's confession. Those
zests will book his accidents or really you should be
more careful, Inspector. Now, Jim, don't start that. Okay, okay, Inspector,
what do you want to know? Well, Mylott confessed that
he was paid by a big businessman to get rid
(25:38):
of Bridgefield and Hobson because both of them were about
to pattern a new process that would have ruined their competitors.
But he won't say a word about that Dresden girl.
Why did he plan to get rid of her?
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Yes, Jim, I don't understand that either.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Helen Dresden was to inherit a fortune on her twenty
fifth birthday, which falls next week. Now, miss Dresden didn't
know this, but one of her cousins did and paid
doctor Milett to get rid of Helen so the fortune
would be divided among the remaining relatives.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
The Jim, all this doesn't explain what pap the gypsies
paid the affair.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
The Gypsies were the mysterious angle in the case Fern. Actually,
though they had nothing to do with the murders.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
They didn't.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
No, doctor Myleott had the Gypsies on that land in
order to have an excuse to end his victims out
on that deserted road. While his victim visited the gypsy
Mileott laid his trap. See, he placed a big plank
with long spikes in it across the road just at
the summit of the cliff, and he covered the whole
thing with mud so he couldn't be seen. Now, the
(26:38):
road was very narrowly at the summit, and when the
tires blew out, the car skidded enough to send it
right over the cliff. And they always chose rainy weather
for the job, so that the car would be certain
to skid and to make it look more like an accident.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
But those coins, what about, then, Jim?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
The coins were just a precaution to cast suspicion on
the Gypsies in case the victim might survive the accident.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
But why did the old gypsy go wild at the
very sight of those coins until everyone who offered them
to her that he had no future?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Because Ferne those coins were exact copies of the silver
Judas accepted for the betrayal. All Gypsies have been taught
to hate them and to believe that all possessed them doomed.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Well. I think Ianina an apology.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Her predictions proved true in this case. Anyway, those really
were coins of death.
Speaker 2 (27:43):

Speaker 1 (27:57):
