Speaker 1 (00:00):
This episode from the life of Sherlock Holmes will be
transmitted to our men and women overseas by short wave
and through the worldwide facilities of the Armed Forces Radio Service.
Petrie Wine brings you Lazil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce and
the new adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The Petrie family, the
(00:25):
family that took time to bring you good wine. Invite
you to listen to doctor Watson tell us another exciting
adventure he shared with his old friend, that master Detective
Sherlock Holmes. And as for me, I'd like to tell
you that a time like right now is the perfect
time for a glass of Petrie California Port after you've
had a good dinner. Boy, if Petri Port is a
(00:46):
real top, that rich, deep red pet Report is really
an extraordinary wine, even its colors different. And as for
its flavor, well, it'll take a better man than me
to describe that Petreport is a hearty wine, sure, and
every other quality that you look for in a good
port you'll find in pet Report. And then some try
pat Report by itself, or serve it with fruit, with nuts,
(01:09):
or with cake. But share it with your friends. Will
you be cause you can't serve it proudly. After all,
it is a Petree wine, and that name Petrie is
the proudest name in the history of American wines. And
(01:30):
now let's visit our old friend and host, doctor Watson.
Good evening, mister Bato good anything, Doctor, set her surf
down and get your pipe going. Thanks doctor. Last week
you told us that tonight's story took place in the
Kasbar at Algiers.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yes, the Casbah, I remember it as the place of
concass streets winding up and down past colorful cafes, where
a hundred tongues was spoken, and oftnes Street would end
in shadowy darkness which a man would be foolharder to
enter alone.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yes, I tell that.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Was the cast, brother Charlick Holmes, and.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I knew in that winter of ninety nine. How did
you happen to be out there? Doctor? Do you mind
if I tell you the story from the start, mister Buttle, If.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Really began on a winter night to Baker Street, it's.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
A conclusion of the strange murder in Monttrevor Castle.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
A charming young girl sat on the sofa of.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Our lodgings in Baker Street.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Mister you can't feel have nothing more to do with another, Pdfield.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I found the poor murderer, the doctor cutters and committed suicide.
Surely the cases ended, Yes, mister Holmes, you found the
real murderer.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
But now I wanted to find an unfortunate young man
who fleding them five years ago.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
When he was suspected of a crime. Was a new development, Misturdfielder,
please tell us about it.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
It's Douglas Milton that I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Oh, yes, yes, he was the heir of the title,
wasn't he, Yes, mister Holmes.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
He was a sensitive artistic boy, and when he knew
that he was under suspicion, he ran away. Of course,
everyone regarded his flight as an admission of guilt, that
is until you found a real culprit, mister Holmes.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Imagine miss Streatfield, that your interest in the missing boy
is not entirely shall we say, altruistic.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I'm in love with him, doctor who we're engaged to
be married when he ran away.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Mister You've got to find him. He must know that his.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Name has been cleared and that he's inherited the title.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
The Stretfield. Have you any direct news, any letter from
your fiance since he left five years ago. None any
clues as his hiding place. Only this.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
It's a painting I received anonymously a year after he
had left. It was sent from a forwarding address in London.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Here it is, mister Jones, Thank you more oil painting,
very good one to sh Yes, the spendid sense of
composition and his use of color is unusually brilliant. You
recognize this painting as the work of your fiance, Miss Stutfield,
I'm certain of it. Yes, wonderful color serve the delicate
shadings of that sunset and the brilliant green of the oasis.
(03:52):
The scene is extraordinarily reminiscent the desert in North Africa. Yes, yes,
that's what made me say I was certainly gone abroad.
Mister Holnes, Why should he go to North Africa? A
good place? Watson le an English who imagines himself to
be escaping justice? Remember the peign Legion is stationed there.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
You think he might have joined the legion, mister Holmes.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Would seemed logical, no question to ask for those who
join it, and its colorful obscurity might easily appeal to
a young fellow in trouble. Hello, what is it home?
Quite a few grains of sands between the canvas and
the frame. Here this Stutfield, you might have I tried
the canvas loose.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Do anything you like, mister Holmes, if it gives you
any included Douglass.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Whereby give me a pen knighte If he wasn't, thanks
so chap huh Here we are? Can you see anything? Ah?
Look the words an elaft Pune a stamped here sheriff
is probably the framer's name, and a laft pun is
(04:46):
a town comes fifty miles from Alders that settles it.
Miss Struttfield, accept your case, Watson, and I will go
to Africa and try to find your fiance, Douglas Nelson.
Missus Sheila Cone, send doctor Watts. I have heard of
(05:08):
you so often, but I never thought I should see
you here at the headquarters something foreign legion. What can
I do for you, gentlemen? Well, Colonel Prison, I'm trying
to place an Englishman who has been missing during the
past four years. I have reason to believe that he
might have joined the legion. Eh. I should look in
my records. Let me see four years ago with the
eighteen ninety five If Sheela Cones is tracking him. Then
(05:32):
I suppose he was in trouble in his own country.
If he was in trouble, he might easily have come
to us. We ask no questions. Ninety seven months ninety five.
In that year three young Englishmen joined us. One of
them died of dysentery two years ago, and see their rage.
One of them deserted eighty months ago, and we have
been unable to praise him. He turned his magical Who
(05:53):
brought you into my officers? Now? As he is? I
would say about three inches shorter than Douglas Milton. And
men do not swak the foreign leature day, Colonel, they
do not miss yours. And the fellow who deserted must
be our man, unless it's the one who died of dysentery.
Colonel de Brisson, how would you advise us to say
about trying to find a deserter, Miss Holmes? There's only
one place in Algeria where a man can hide from
(06:15):
the final legion and remaining. What's that place? The Caspai
in Lgs, and that's our destination. Watson't be very careful, please, gentlemen.
The Cosby is a place where the law is exiled.
The police have no jurisdiction there. The only rule is
that of strength, violence, and very cautious. I assure you
good bye, Colonel Brison, and thank you for your help.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Well, I must say that I think Colonel de Briston rather.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Exaggerated the dangers of the kaspar.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I suppose you're going to tell me this cafe is
the headquarters for a.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Dope smuggling ring, or like slaving or something. It's ramifications
even more extensive than those you've mentioned. You're joking home.
I assure you I'm not, old fellow. My old friend
Juamo is the chief of police officers. When I told
him I mission, he advised me to come here a
five hundred franc note, and the proparer can obtain any
and all information regarding the underworld, but as little as
(07:26):
two hundred francs in original murder. So I give you
an idea of the relative values the kaspar who loved
Then you've already spoken to the propano. Oh yes, yes,
a charming scoundrel, the fellow to the name of Raffi.
I gave him five hundred francs and asked him to
city his underworld Greek by in motion to see whether
an Englishman living and hiding here in the kasbar could
be found. I thought you'd come here with a quat meal. Say,
(07:49):
I'm RAPPI now top has new prus jelly a RAPI
come to dam? Won't you ask you? What's fast? Does enough?
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Mister Holmes eight years friends, my friend that you're working
with me. I drink first. The tongue of raffee is fast.
Would you have me die of first before I give
you my news?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Very more cassis? Huh you have news for me then?
But yes, first you will pay me more money. Now
I give you five hundred. Thanks. You said that you
do the job for that. Can I help it? If
some tongues are more costly to make wag than others.
It took the five hundred.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
To get the wag. Am I to have nothing for
my own trouble or very RAPPI par good good, Hey,
the gentleman.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Will pay for hey are missing? I will drink to
your health. Gentlemen, both of you you will pay me
more money.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
No, but my friends already given you five hundred. You
should stick to your bar.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
My good fellow, my information is a bargain at seven
hundred and fifty tanks. It would be a bar at
one thousand, but Raffie will let you have it for
seven hundred and fifty because he likes you.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
You will give it to me, nous.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Then you get no information, and perhaps I spread news
in the casbar that makes it uncomfortable for you gentlemen
to be there.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Well, Scott, this is blackmail. I get the money. No,
you're a scandal, of course, I'm miss here's your money
and information. There is it.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
The englishman hiding here in the casbar. I do not
know his name, but he's stolen fair head. I cannot
tell you where he lives. But if you go to
the cafe of one thousand size, you will find a girl.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Loose things there. A girl lose sings like a nightingale.
Her name is Ayisha, and she can lead you to
your English girl named Asha the cafe of a thousand size.
That is right.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
I would suggest that you go there in dis guys.
Two well dressed englishmen might find themselves in trouble. For
a small feet, say two hundred francs, I will escort.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Thank you. Yes, I think we can manage by ourselves. Rockey.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Oh well, if your business is completed quickly and time
weighs heavy on your hands, and I think it can
take you to some places of very interesting dancing pros
that wither want's eyeballs with their beauty.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
For five hundred francs. Gentlemen, Thank you, thank you. I
have a feeling that I will not way heavily on
our hands. Good night. You work too hard, gentlemen. You
should learn how to play good night on my soul.
I think that follows the biggest blagod. I quite agree
with Jepany. He is amusing. By the way, Holmes it
(10:48):
do you.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Think that when this case is finished we might have
a time on our hand?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Wat And you're incorrigible, but I think, what's what is it?
The man's sitting over in the corner by himself, Hi, Joe. Yes,
his face seems familiar. We've seen him before someone of
course we know his name is Oliver Leaving. We met
him at the inquest on the Montreiler case, so we
did I want knows do you suppose he's doing here
(11:14):
in the Castler not on a holiday? I'm firm, mister
Oliver Leaning if you recall us a cousin that Douglas
Milton's the management men. We are searching for If Multon
were ever a declared lidid, mister leaning over, there would inherit.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
The title looks to me as if we're not the
only people in the casper who are searching for the
missing air.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
That's true, brother, Come on, he's going to talk to
the gentleman Starliver leaving Iry ought to meet you here? Well,
will shall our combs and Dr Watson? Won't you sit down?
Speaker 6 (11:48):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Well? The small places this sit all has? Somebody said
that before I wanted to do spot the overhealth caller.
Oh you saw yourself. Of course you seem to be
in such a deep conversation about scandal, Ralphie. I didn't
like to deserve you you. I'm sure. Why are you here, Mistimingo,
I'm making a business trip. This is my day, or
as I recall it, you are in the publishing business. Correct?
(12:08):
What a memory you would have? It seems secular that
you should have been on a business trip here. Are
you planning on opening a publishing house and out jairs
or are you searching the cosmos and new authors? Why not?
I'm a great believer in encouraging new talent. Mister Living,
Why don't you admit the charge here for the express
purpose of trying to find your cousin, Douglas Milton's. Mister Holmes,
you've discovered my secret. The great Shararck Homes and his
(12:31):
watch dog have their eight eyes on me. They know
that I succeed to the title if Douglas Milton died. Yes,
mister leaving me know that fact. And you have fathomed
my plan to find Douglas before me and killing so
that I may inherit the title. How lucky I am
to meet you in more Haasba or you cannot arrest me. Well,
(12:52):
so it's against time, gentlemen, but I have a head start,
as you will soon find out. Goodbye, I'm the best
of luck for you, strewing the full of He's joking,
of course, I believe not Watson. I think he labors
under the physical belief that the best method of discounting
the truth is to stated as boldly so that it
will not be believed. Great Captain, we must work fast, yes,
(13:13):
or Jepri must. I'm sure the very entrance in a
race against death m skip back to the hotel. Meant
badisguises as quickly as possible after best which will visit
a young lady named Aisha and the cafere of a
thousand size. And I'm certain Watson that they moved to
the first time two men of Everent of the Kasbah
for the express purpose of preventing a murder. We'll hear
(13:41):
the rest of doctor Watson's story in just about a second,
which gives me time to remind you that if you
like the flavor of big, plump, juicy muscat grapes, you'll
love the flavor of Patrie California Muscatel. What a wine?
Patrie musketel is the perfect actor dinner wine. It looks good,
Hell's better than it looks when it comes to the
(14:02):
taste apartment, Well, you never tasted anything like it for
a really good wine. Remember first Petree, then Muscatel, Petree Muscatel. Well,
doctor I can hardly wait to hear what happened next.
You and Sherlock Holmes went back to the hotel.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I suppose, yes, ttell Holmes quickly adopted the disguise of
an Arab guide. Well, I assumed the role of a tourist,
and we started off on our search. Outside the Cafe.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Of one thousand size, we met the rude shop. Good lord,
it's a fellow. We met macafe, Yes for the knife
between the shoulders. He's dead. Home. Didn't we get in
touch with the police. What can they do? Remember there's
no law on the kasta. And in case this man
is beyond high help, my job is to protect the living.
Come on, old fellow, let's go to the cafe of
(14:50):
a thousand size and find this girl Asha. The girl,
Rafi says, sings like a nighty ay so he shot
jettish ones my donki.
Speaker 3 (15:11):

Well you're never him for do you? Men?

I like and explain our mission in a very few words.
My friend and I have come in search of an
Englishman the name of Douglas Milton. We have good news
for him. What makes you think I might know of him?
(17:26):
Just to put about the name of RAFFI suggested that
you might what is your good news for this Englishman?
That he has been cleared of suspicion of murder, and
that he is the rightful Earl of Montrada. That means
when he knows.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
This, he will leave the cause by and return to
his country.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Naturally, Madame, I do not know this man. I have
never heard of him. Here is your five hundred franks.
Speaker 8 (17:49):
Goodbye, not so fast a issue of tissue. I've been
listening from behind these curtains. Do not allow me to
introduce myself. My name is Douglas Milton.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Douglas Milton. Find yours is an infinite pleasure. You are
exceeded in my mission. Now do you do so? This
is very exciting. Here's that education costs? For a drinker?
Will it be, gentlemen? I think a glass of port? Yes,
it would be the most appropriate. Thod toasting the New
Earth on trailer, splendid, splendid, aisha spring glasses and.
Speaker 8 (18:18):
A bottle of port and some kremdmouth for me.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
You are not going to England.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I will never let you leave me, no stopping some
melodramatic eyesha. Please bring two bottles and some glasses. Very well.
I am sorry, mister Holmes.
Speaker 8 (18:30):
I can't tell you how I appreciate your trouble in
coming all this way to find me. I must tell
you at once there's one problem that makes it difficult for.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Me to do this country. You see, I deserted from
foreign engunyars, he says. We know that, my boy. In fact,
that's how we first got onto your trail. I shouldn't
let that back, wiriyam, miss Milton. I'm certain the British
consul and now Jairs can arrange to have any charges
dropped against the peerod of the realm oh I thought
of that.
Speaker 8 (18:55):
The bottles you must excuse the glasses, gentlemen, tumblers are
hardly I suppose that, well, they won't spoil the flavor.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I'm sure two glasses of.
Speaker 8 (19:05):
Port and uh crimbed amount to me only three glasses.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Aisha, bring a glass for yourself. I do not wish
to drink, and I insist that you do bring a glass. Asia,
Why should I drink? If you are leaving? Milton? Do
you know all about leaving? Oh?
Speaker 8 (19:21):
Of course is my cousin, as he came here half
an hour ago and threatened me.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
You also know that he's lying dead in the street murdered.
Speaker 8 (19:30):
Oh yes, yes, I did if we went in the
cars bar I wouldn't tell you this, but Aisha stabbed him.
She followed him when he left here He'll live, and
then stepped back just in time to sing a song
a few moments ago. Oh you needn't look so shocked,
doctor Watson. Life is cheap in the cosper, and Naisha
is a girl of violent passions. Come on, let's let's
(19:50):
drink attest to the new Earl of Montraba cat.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Oh, excuse me, sir, you took the wrong glass. You
drinking my foot silliness.
Speaker 8 (20:00):
I can't bear what they English of me, I'm afraid,
but well, after all these years, I don't feel particularly English.
In fact, I'll probably find it very hard to adjust
myself to the old life when I go back, Or
perhaps I should say, if I go back and.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
To feel that way about it, mister Milton, why go?
You can take title the revenues of the estate without
leading Algeria, but stay here and live on the income.
I didn't realize that would be possible. You sure I
could do that? Oh, yes, I'm quite certain of it.
But if you doubt my word, I suggest be all
adjourned to the British Consulate and our jeers they can
put your straight on the mat on. That's a good idea.
(20:34):
Let's go over there at once. No, no, I've been
listening to you, my friend. You are planning to leave
me once you go from the cause, but I shall
never see you again. Put down that night, by issue,
I will not let you go. You will belong to me.
Speaker 8 (20:46):
If you try to leave me now, I will kill
you down that night, by issue. You've done enough damage
for one night.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Down. She twisted the knife on herself as she fell,
Holmes helping me to turn her over. She's dead, mister Milton,
who are you sure it's the bloody path that leads
to the Montrevor title. Sir, I suggest to you see
that the poor girl's body is taken care of, and
(21:14):
then go to the British Consulate. About any further delay.
Now that we're at the Consolateitor Milton, I suggest that
you swear on oath that you are Douglas Milton, heir
to the Montrevorer's state. This gentleman as a commissioner of oaths,
(21:37):
and we can go in and see the console. Very well,
rise right hand please and repeat after me. I hereby
solemnly swear that I am Douglas Milton, the missing here
to the montreevoy State.
Speaker 8 (21:49):
I hear, I swear that I am Douglas Milton, missing
heir to the Montrevora's State.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Thank you, sir, And now if you'll sign the statement
here these gentlemen the witnessing are you huh? Thank you sir.
And now if you gentlemen will sign certainly? Now, thank you, gentlemen.
The document is now legal splendid. Let's go over and
(22:14):
see the console. Not yet, my friend Watson, this man
is not Douglas Milton. What the devil are you talking about?
There is no law on the cast Bowser, so you
cannot be punished in the two mirrors' committed there. But
now that your avarice has tempted you here to Algiers,
where you've been foolish enough to sign a false statement,
I think we can at least settle you very nicely
(22:34):
for desertion, false impersonation, forchery and perjury. What do you
mean the story should be of this book? Fellow alaplinin
did track down the deserter. Recognition was uncertain after so
many years, but at least it gave this gentleman the
idea of impersonating the real Douglas Milton, a friend of his.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
You have a lively imagination stone real Douglas Milton.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I'd have dysentery two years ago and see their rife.
Was the idea of impersonating noteson was born leaning had
to die.
Speaker 8 (23:04):
Your theories are very interesting, but you haven't a shred
of proof. I say that I'm Douglas Nilton.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
How are you gonna prove otherwise? That is simply my
dear sir, Douglas Moltiple a painter, A painter who accepled
in the use of vivid colors. You, sir, suffer from
a quite common malady of a red green color blindness.
Less than an hour ago, you mist took a glass
of port, which is red, but a glass of crane Demon,
which is green. I hear at once that you were
an impostor Clara, than I thought you were. Homes good Bye, here,
(23:30):
come back, Oh Watson, don't go after him. But if
we can't at him, escape Homes. Don't worry, Old Chap,
he won't escape. I sent a message to Cuddel the
bron If you go to the window, I think you
will find that the consulate is being watched. The legion
has a long memory for desertion. I don't think he'll
get very fine.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
They got him home, shot him as he was trying
to run away.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
I just death for him, lived the life of balance
and treachery. Watson John. It fitting that he should in
the same manner. Doctor, That was a swell story. But
you know something, I wish you hadn't disillusioned me about
(24:16):
the Kasvar would you mean? Well, before I heard your story,
whenever somebody mentioned the Kasva is visualized a very glamorous,
dramatic sort of place full of beautiful women, every one
of them a ringer for Hettie Lamar. No. Yeah, And
I could just see myself, handsome, dashing, going up one
of those beautiful girls and whispering in my fine French accent. Darling,
(24:39):
you're a sensation, lovely, gorgeous. Telling me, have you ever
tried Petrie wine? It's wonderful. Well, you must admit, doctor,
that that is the truth. It is wonderful what it
certainly ought to be. After all, wine making has been
the business of the Petrie family ever since, way back
(25:00):
in the eighteen hundreds. For generations, the Petrie family has
handed down from father to son, from father to son,
the fine art turning luscious sun, ripe and grapes and fragrant,
delicious wine. And don't forget because the making of Petrie
wine is a family affair. The letters P E, T
R I on a bottle of wine are the personal
(25:22):
assurance of the Petrie family that every drop of wine
in that bottle is good wine. So no matter what
type wine you prefer for any occasion, remember you can't
go wrong with a Petrie wine because Petrie took time
to bring you good wine. Well, doctor, now I suppose
you're ready to tell us about next story. Yes, and
as soon as I have, I want you to meet
(25:42):
a friend of mine, a friend. Yes, But first, mister Bouto.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Next week, I'm going to tell you an adventure in
which for once homes came off second best. An exciting
story of Hyasusaki and Ramence. I call it a scandal

adventure he shared with his old friend, that master Detective
Sherlock Holmes. And as for me, I'd like to tell
you that a time like right now is the perfect
time for a glass of Petrie California Port after you've
had a good dinner. Boy, if Petri Port is a
(00:46):
real top, that rich, deep red pet Report is really
an extraordinary wine, even its colors different. And as for
its flavor, well, it'll take a better man than me
to describe that Petreport is a hearty wine, sure, and
every other quality that you look for in a good
port you'll find in pet Report. And then some try
pat Report by itself, or serve it with fruit, with nuts,
(01:09):
or with cake. But share it with your friends. Will
you be cause you can't serve it proudly. After all,
it is a Petree wine, and that name Petrie is
the proudest name in the history of American wines. And
(01:30):
now let's visit our old friend and host, doctor Watson.
Good evening, mister Bato good anything, Doctor, set her surf
down and get your pipe going. Thanks doctor. Last week
you told us that tonight's story took place in the
Kasbar at Algiers.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yes, the Casbah, I remember it as the place of
concass streets winding up and down past colorful cafes, where
a hundred tongues was spoken, and oftnes Street would end
in shadowy darkness which a man would be foolharder to
enter alone.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yes, I tell that.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Was the cast, brother Charlick Holmes, and.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I knew in that winter of ninety nine. How did
you happen to be out there? Doctor? Do you mind
if I tell you the story from the start, mister Buttle, If.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Really began on a winter night to Baker Street, it's.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
A conclusion of the strange murder in Monttrevor Castle.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
A charming young girl sat on the sofa of.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Our lodgings in Baker Street.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Mister you can't feel have nothing more to do with another, Pdfield.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I found the poor murderer, the doctor cutters and committed suicide.
Surely the cases ended, Yes, mister Holmes, you found the
real murderer.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
But now I wanted to find an unfortunate young man
who fleding them five years ago.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
When he was suspected of a crime. Was a new development, Misturdfielder,
please tell us about it.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
It's Douglas Milton that I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Oh, yes, yes, he was the heir of the title,
wasn't he, Yes, mister Holmes.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
He was a sensitive artistic boy, and when he knew
that he was under suspicion, he ran away. Of course,
everyone regarded his flight as an admission of guilt, that
is until you found a real culprit, mister Holmes.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Imagine miss Streatfield, that your interest in the missing boy
is not entirely shall we say, altruistic.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I'm in love with him, doctor who we're engaged to
be married when he ran away.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Mister You've got to find him. He must know that his.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Name has been cleared and that he's inherited the title.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
The Stretfield. Have you any direct news, any letter from
your fiance since he left five years ago. None any
clues as his hiding place. Only this.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
It's a painting I received anonymously a year after he
had left. It was sent from a forwarding address in London.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Here it is, mister Jones, Thank you more oil painting,
very good one to sh Yes, the spendid sense of
composition and his use of color is unusually brilliant. You
recognize this painting as the work of your fiance, Miss Stutfield,
I'm certain of it. Yes, wonderful color serve the delicate
shadings of that sunset and the brilliant green of the oasis.
(03:52):
The scene is extraordinarily reminiscent the desert in North Africa. Yes, yes,
that's what made me say I was certainly gone abroad.
Mister Holnes, Why should he go to North Africa? A
good place? Watson le an English who imagines himself to
be escaping justice? Remember the peign Legion is stationed there.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
You think he might have joined the legion, mister Holmes.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Would seemed logical, no question to ask for those who
join it, and its colorful obscurity might easily appeal to
a young fellow in trouble. Hello, what is it home?
Quite a few grains of sands between the canvas and
the frame. Here this Stutfield, you might have I tried
the canvas loose.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Do anything you like, mister Holmes, if it gives you
any included Douglass.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Whereby give me a pen knighte If he wasn't, thanks
so chap huh Here we are? Can you see anything? Ah?
Look the words an elaft Pune a stamped here sheriff
is probably the framer's name, and a laft pun is
(04:46):
a town comes fifty miles from Alders that settles it.
Miss Struttfield, accept your case, Watson, and I will go
to Africa and try to find your fiance, Douglas Nelson.
Missus Sheila Cone, send doctor Watts. I have heard of
(05:08):
you so often, but I never thought I should see
you here at the headquarters something foreign legion. What can
I do for you, gentlemen? Well, Colonel Prison, I'm trying
to place an Englishman who has been missing during the
past four years. I have reason to believe that he
might have joined the legion. Eh. I should look in
my records. Let me see four years ago with the
eighteen ninety five If Sheela Cones is tracking him. Then
(05:32):
I suppose he was in trouble in his own country.
If he was in trouble, he might easily have come
to us. We ask no questions. Ninety seven months ninety five.
In that year three young Englishmen joined us. One of
them died of dysentery two years ago, and see their rage.
One of them deserted eighty months ago, and we have
been unable to praise him. He turned his magical Who
(05:53):
brought you into my officers? Now? As he is? I
would say about three inches shorter than Douglas Milton. And
men do not swak the foreign leature day, Colonel, they
do not miss yours. And the fellow who deserted must
be our man, unless it's the one who died of dysentery.
Colonel de Brisson, how would you advise us to say
about trying to find a deserter, Miss Holmes? There's only
one place in Algeria where a man can hide from
(06:15):
the final legion and remaining. What's that place? The Caspai
in Lgs, and that's our destination. Watson't be very careful, please, gentlemen.
The Cosby is a place where the law is exiled.
The police have no jurisdiction there. The only rule is
that of strength, violence, and very cautious. I assure you
good bye, Colonel Brison, and thank you for your help.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Well, I must say that I think Colonel de Briston rather.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Exaggerated the dangers of the kaspar.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I suppose you're going to tell me this cafe is
the headquarters for a.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Dope smuggling ring, or like slaving or something. It's ramifications
even more extensive than those you've mentioned. You're joking home.
I assure you I'm not, old fellow. My old friend
Juamo is the chief of police officers. When I told
him I mission, he advised me to come here a
five hundred franc note, and the proparer can obtain any
and all information regarding the underworld, but as little as
(07:26):
two hundred francs in original murder. So I give you
an idea of the relative values the kaspar who loved
Then you've already spoken to the propano. Oh yes, yes,
a charming scoundrel, the fellow to the name of Raffi.
I gave him five hundred francs and asked him to
city his underworld Greek by in motion to see whether
an Englishman living and hiding here in the kasbar could
be found. I thought you'd come here with a quat meal. Say,
(07:49):
I'm RAPPI now top has new prus jelly a RAPI
come to dam? Won't you ask you? What's fast? Does enough?
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Mister Holmes eight years friends, my friend that you're working
with me. I drink first. The tongue of raffee is fast.
Would you have me die of first before I give
you my news?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Very more cassis? Huh you have news for me then?
But yes, first you will pay me more money. Now
I give you five hundred. Thanks. You said that you
do the job for that. Can I help it? If
some tongues are more costly to make wag than others.
It took the five hundred.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
To get the wag. Am I to have nothing for
my own trouble or very RAPPI par good good, Hey,
the gentleman.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Will pay for hey are missing? I will drink to
your health. Gentlemen, both of you you will pay me
more money.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
No, but my friends already given you five hundred. You
should stick to your bar.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
My good fellow, my information is a bargain at seven
hundred and fifty tanks. It would be a bar at
one thousand, but Raffie will let you have it for
seven hundred and fifty because he likes you.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
You will give it to me, nous.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Then you get no information, and perhaps I spread news
in the casbar that makes it uncomfortable for you gentlemen
to be there.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Well, Scott, this is blackmail. I get the money. No,
you're a scandal, of course, I'm miss here's your money
and information. There is it.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
The englishman hiding here in the casbar. I do not
know his name, but he's stolen fair head. I cannot
tell you where he lives. But if you go to
the cafe of one thousand size, you will find a girl.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Loose things there. A girl lose sings like a nightingale.
Her name is Ayisha, and she can lead you to
your English girl named Asha the cafe of a thousand size.
That is right.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
I would suggest that you go there in dis guys.
Two well dressed englishmen might find themselves in trouble. For
a small feet, say two hundred francs, I will escort.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Thank you. Yes, I think we can manage by ourselves. Rockey.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Oh well, if your business is completed quickly and time
weighs heavy on your hands, and I think it can
take you to some places of very interesting dancing pros
that wither want's eyeballs with their beauty.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
For five hundred francs. Gentlemen, Thank you, thank you. I
have a feeling that I will not way heavily on
our hands. Good night. You work too hard, gentlemen. You
should learn how to play good night on my soul.
I think that follows the biggest blagod. I quite agree
with Jepany. He is amusing. By the way, Holmes it
(10:48):
do you.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Think that when this case is finished we might have
a time on our hand?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Wat And you're incorrigible, but I think, what's what is it?
The man's sitting over in the corner by himself, Hi, Joe. Yes,
his face seems familiar. We've seen him before someone of
course we know his name is Oliver Leaving. We met
him at the inquest on the Montreiler case, so we
did I want knows do you suppose he's doing here
(11:14):
in the Castler not on a holiday? I'm firm, mister
Oliver Leaning if you recall us a cousin that Douglas
Milton's the management men. We are searching for If Multon
were ever a declared lidid, mister leaning over, there would inherit.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
The title looks to me as if we're not the
only people in the casper who are searching for the
missing air.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
That's true, brother, Come on, he's going to talk to
the gentleman Starliver leaving Iry ought to meet you here? Well,
will shall our combs and Dr Watson? Won't you sit down?
Speaker 6 (11:48):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Well? The small places this sit all has? Somebody said
that before I wanted to do spot the overhealth caller.
Oh you saw yourself. Of course you seem to be
in such a deep conversation about scandal, Ralphie. I didn't
like to deserve you you. I'm sure. Why are you here, Mistimingo,
I'm making a business trip. This is my day, or
as I recall it, you are in the publishing business. Correct?
(12:08):
What a memory you would have? It seems secular that
you should have been on a business trip here. Are
you planning on opening a publishing house and out jairs
or are you searching the cosmos and new authors? Why not?
I'm a great believer in encouraging new talent. Mister Living,
Why don't you admit the charge here for the express
purpose of trying to find your cousin, Douglas Milton's. Mister Holmes,
you've discovered my secret. The great Shararck Homes and his
(12:31):
watch dog have their eight eyes on me. They know
that I succeed to the title if Douglas Milton died. Yes,
mister leaving me know that fact. And you have fathomed
my plan to find Douglas before me and killing so
that I may inherit the title. How lucky I am
to meet you in more Haasba or you cannot arrest me. Well,
(12:52):
so it's against time, gentlemen, but I have a head start,
as you will soon find out. Goodbye, I'm the best
of luck for you, strewing the full of He's joking,
of course, I believe not Watson. I think he labors
under the physical belief that the best method of discounting
the truth is to stated as boldly so that it
will not be believed. Great Captain, we must work fast, yes,
(13:13):
or Jepri must. I'm sure the very entrance in a
race against death m skip back to the hotel. Meant
badisguises as quickly as possible after best which will visit
a young lady named Aisha and the cafere of a
thousand size. And I'm certain Watson that they moved to
the first time two men of Everent of the Kasbah
for the express purpose of preventing a murder. We'll hear
(13:41):
the rest of doctor Watson's story in just about a second,
which gives me time to remind you that if you
like the flavor of big, plump, juicy muscat grapes, you'll
love the flavor of Patrie California Muscatel. What a wine?
Patrie musketel is the perfect actor dinner wine. It looks good,
Hell's better than it looks when it comes to the
(14:02):
taste apartment, Well, you never tasted anything like it for
a really good wine. Remember first Petree, then Muscatel, Petree Muscatel. Well,
doctor I can hardly wait to hear what happened next.
You and Sherlock Holmes went back to the hotel.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I suppose, yes, ttell Holmes quickly adopted the disguise of
an Arab guide. Well, I assumed the role of a tourist,
and we started off on our search. Outside the Cafe.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Of one thousand size, we met the rude shop. Good lord,
it's a fellow. We met macafe, Yes for the knife
between the shoulders. He's dead. Home. Didn't we get in
touch with the police. What can they do? Remember there's
no law on the kasta. And in case this man
is beyond high help, my job is to protect the living.
Come on, old fellow, let's go to the cafe of
(14:50):
a thousand size and find this girl Asha. The girl,
Rafi says, sings like a nighty ay so he shot
jettish ones my donki.
Speaker 3 (15:11):

Well you're never him for do you? Men?

He wish you to talk to Aisha. Which one is he?

At the table in the corner, you star, you're rich, Aha,

Why you take your way in here? Don't the pie? Mamodel?
I like and explain our mission in a very few words.
My friend and I have come in search of an
Englishman the name of Douglas Milton. We have good news
for him. What makes you think I might know of him?
(17:26):
Just to put about the name of RAFFI suggested that
you might what is your good news for this Englishman?
That he has been cleared of suspicion of murder, and
that he is the rightful Earl of Montrada. That means
when he knows.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
This, he will leave the cause by and return to
his country.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Naturally, Madame, I do not know this man. I have
never heard of him. Here is your five hundred franks.
Speaker 8 (17:49):
Goodbye, not so fast a issue of tissue. I've been
listening from behind these curtains. Do not allow me to
introduce myself. My name is Douglas Milton.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Douglas Milton. Find yours is an infinite pleasure. You are
exceeded in my mission. Now do you do so? This
is very exciting. Here's that education costs? For a drinker?
Will it be, gentlemen? I think a glass of port? Yes,
it would be the most appropriate. Thod toasting the New
Earth on trailer, splendid, splendid, aisha spring glasses and.
Speaker 8 (18:18):
A bottle of port and some kremdmouth for me.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
You are not going to England.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I will never let you leave me, no stopping some
melodramatic eyesha. Please bring two bottles and some glasses. Very well.
I am sorry, mister Holmes.
Speaker 8 (18:30):
I can't tell you how I appreciate your trouble in
coming all this way to find me. I must tell
you at once there's one problem that makes it difficult for.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Me to do this country. You see, I deserted from
foreign engunyars, he says. We know that, my boy. In fact,
that's how we first got onto your trail. I shouldn't
let that back, wiriyam, miss Milton. I'm certain the British
consul and now Jairs can arrange to have any charges
dropped against the peerod of the realm oh I thought
of that.
Speaker 8 (18:55):
The bottles you must excuse the glasses, gentlemen, tumblers are
hardly I suppose that, well, they won't spoil the flavor.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I'm sure two glasses of.
Speaker 8 (19:05):
Port and uh crimbed amount to me only three glasses.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Aisha, bring a glass for yourself. I do not wish
to drink, and I insist that you do bring a glass. Asia,
Why should I drink? If you are leaving? Milton? Do
you know all about leaving? Oh?
Speaker 8 (19:21):
Of course is my cousin, as he came here half
an hour ago and threatened me.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
You also know that he's lying dead in the street murdered.
Speaker 8 (19:30):
Oh yes, yes, I did if we went in the
cars bar I wouldn't tell you this, but Aisha stabbed him.
She followed him when he left here He'll live, and
then stepped back just in time to sing a song
a few moments ago. Oh you needn't look so shocked,
doctor Watson. Life is cheap in the cosper, and Naisha
is a girl of violent passions. Come on, let's let's
(19:50):
drink attest to the new Earl of Montraba cat.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Oh, excuse me, sir, you took the wrong glass. You
drinking my foot silliness.
Speaker 8 (20:00):
I can't bear what they English of me, I'm afraid,
but well, after all these years, I don't feel particularly English.
In fact, I'll probably find it very hard to adjust
myself to the old life when I go back, Or
perhaps I should say, if I go back and.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
To feel that way about it, mister Milton, why go?
You can take title the revenues of the estate without
leading Algeria, but stay here and live on the income.
I didn't realize that would be possible. You sure I
could do that? Oh, yes, I'm quite certain of it.
But if you doubt my word, I suggest be all
adjourned to the British Consulate and our jeers they can
put your straight on the mat on. That's a good idea.
(20:34):
Let's go over there at once. No, no, I've been
listening to you, my friend. You are planning to leave
me once you go from the cause, but I shall
never see you again. Put down that night, by issue,
I will not let you go. You will belong to me.
Speaker 8 (20:46):
If you try to leave me now, I will kill
you down that night, by issue. You've done enough damage
for one night.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Down. She twisted the knife on herself as she fell,
Holmes helping me to turn her over. She's dead, mister Milton,
who are you sure it's the bloody path that leads
to the Montrevor title. Sir, I suggest to you see
that the poor girl's body is taken care of, and
(21:14):
then go to the British Consulate. About any further delay.
Now that we're at the Consolateitor Milton, I suggest that
you swear on oath that you are Douglas Milton, heir
to the Montrevorer's state. This gentleman as a commissioner of oaths,
(21:37):
and we can go in and see the console. Very well,
rise right hand please and repeat after me. I hereby
solemnly swear that I am Douglas Milton, the missing here
to the montreevoy State.
Speaker 8 (21:49):
I hear, I swear that I am Douglas Milton, missing
heir to the Montrevora's State.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Thank you, sir, And now if you'll sign the statement
here these gentlemen the witnessing are you huh? Thank you sir.
And now if you gentlemen will sign certainly? Now, thank you, gentlemen.
The document is now legal splendid. Let's go over and
(22:14):
see the console. Not yet, my friend Watson, this man
is not Douglas Milton. What the devil are you talking about?
There is no law on the cast Bowser, so you
cannot be punished in the two mirrors' committed there. But
now that your avarice has tempted you here to Algiers,
where you've been foolish enough to sign a false statement,
I think we can at least settle you very nicely
(22:34):
for desertion, false impersonation, forchery and perjury. What do you
mean the story should be of this book? Fellow alaplinin
did track down the deserter. Recognition was uncertain after so
many years, but at least it gave this gentleman the
idea of impersonating the real Douglas Milton, a friend of his.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
You have a lively imagination stone real Douglas Milton.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I'd have dysentery two years ago and see their rife.
Was the idea of impersonating noteson was born leaning had
to die.
Speaker 8 (23:04):
Your theories are very interesting, but you haven't a shred
of proof. I say that I'm Douglas Nilton.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
How are you gonna prove otherwise? That is simply my
dear sir, Douglas Moltiple a painter, A painter who accepled
in the use of vivid colors. You, sir, suffer from
a quite common malady of a red green color blindness.
Less than an hour ago, you mist took a glass
of port, which is red, but a glass of crane Demon,
which is green. I hear at once that you were
an impostor Clara, than I thought you were. Homes good Bye, here,
(23:30):
come back, Oh Watson, don't go after him. But if
we can't at him, escape Homes. Don't worry, Old Chap,
he won't escape. I sent a message to Cuddel the
bron If you go to the window, I think you
will find that the consulate is being watched. The legion
has a long memory for desertion. I don't think he'll
get very fine.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
They got him home, shot him as he was trying
to run away.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
I just death for him, lived the life of balance
and treachery. Watson John. It fitting that he should in
the same manner. Doctor, That was a swell story. But
you know something, I wish you hadn't disillusioned me about
(24:16):
the Kasvar would you mean? Well, before I heard your story,
whenever somebody mentioned the Kasva is visualized a very glamorous,
dramatic sort of place full of beautiful women, every one
of them a ringer for Hettie Lamar. No. Yeah, And
I could just see myself, handsome, dashing, going up one
of those beautiful girls and whispering in my fine French accent. Darling,
(24:39):
you're a sensation, lovely, gorgeous. Telling me, have you ever
tried Petrie wine? It's wonderful. Well, you must admit, doctor,
that that is the truth. It is wonderful what it
certainly ought to be. After all, wine making has been
the business of the Petrie family ever since, way back
(25:00):
in the eighteen hundreds. For generations, the Petrie family has
handed down from father to son, from father to son,
the fine art turning luscious sun, ripe and grapes and fragrant,
delicious wine. And don't forget because the making of Petrie
wine is a family affair. The letters P E, T
R I on a bottle of wine are the personal
(25:22):
assurance of the Petrie family that every drop of wine
in that bottle is good wine. So no matter what
type wine you prefer for any occasion, remember you can't
go wrong with a Petrie wine because Petrie took time
to bring you good wine. Well, doctor, now I suppose
you're ready to tell us about next story. Yes, and
as soon as I have, I want you to meet
(25:42):
a friend of mine, a friend. Yes, But first, mister Bouto.
