The Avenger, the Road to crime, and the tap that
justice sets five does not pay.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
The Avenger, sworn enemy of evil, is actually Jim Brandon.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Of famous biochemist.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
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 a secret diffusion capsule which flok
him in the black light of invisibility. Brandon's assistant, the
beautiful Fern Collier, is the only one who shares his
secrets and knows that he is the man the underworld
(02:08):
fears as the Avenger.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
And now.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
The Avenger and the Eyes of Shiva.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Come in. Oh, good evening, mister Thermont. Hello Kroft, have
a chair, Thermont. What's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
As though you didn't know well, I can guess.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Of course, when a young man about town calls on
a gamble in his office.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
It means he's broke. Kraft. I want you to okay
another iou for me.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Vermont. You're in too deep. I can't give you any
more credit.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Listen, Kraft, don't try any of those cold shoulder tactics
on me. I've lost a fortune in this club, as
you already.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Owe me thirty five grand Vermont? When are you going
to pay up?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
You'll get your money, but I've got to have a
little time.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
That's what you've been saying for a month. Now, let's
get cases the month. Either you pay up or I
use my own methods of collecting.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
I say you're all set to give me the works,
aren't you?
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Croft?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
If necessary, give me one more week and I can
raise the money.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Sorry, I need more than your words that thermout may
I ask where you expect to get that kind of
money from my aunt Lydia missus wimbushm yes, what makes
you think she'll advance you thirty five thousand just for
the asking?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
She'll have to and if she doesn't, then well I
have another way of getting it. No, there a munt.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I can't accept vague promises any longer. I'll give you
twenty four hours to raise the dough.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I can't do it in that time. You will have
to make a weak craft. If you want to collect
your money, what's your plan?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Then I've got to know my chances.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Well, you've heard of my aunt's rubies, the famous eyes
of Siva. Who hasn't I've got a customer for those rubies.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Craft you you mean you plan to steal the rubies
from your aunt.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Well, if you want to put it as crudely as that, yes,
They'll be mine some day anyway, so I might as
well get them now and they can do me the
most good. And if you're caught, I don't think aunt
Lydia would prosecute the family name and all that.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
This er brave customer you spoke of, who is he?
It seems unbelievable to me that anyone would be foolish
enough to buy such famous stones. Those rubies can never
be put on the market. They'll be too hot.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
My customer will give me two hundred thousand for them,
and he has no desire to market.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Them two hundred thousand. Who has that kind of dough?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
A rich Indian importer. He's tried to buy the rubies
from my aunt directly, but she won't sell. You See,
those stones have a special significance to people of his country.
At one time, those rubies were the eyes of an
ancient statue of the goddess Shiva. This rich Indian owns
that statue now and he wants to have the eyes replaced.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Well, I don't know that statue stuff so Greek to me.
I have even heard about this Sheva goddess you should
have kroft. Siva is the goddess of thugs. She has
seven arms and strangles all who do not please her.
I'd say she speaks your language, Kroft. Hmm, sounds like
(05:42):
a very interesting game.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Well, Kroft. In case my aunt refuses to give me
the money, are you willing to give me that week's
grace to get the rubies?
Speaker 4 (05:51):
All right, there, Mount, I'll play ball.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Good.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Take a few days to work on your aunt for
the money, though, before you risk stealing the rubies. Thirty
five brand in the hand is worth more than two
hundred thousand in some goddess his eyes. It's a deal, Croft.
We have a date then, Therma, a week from tonight.
Let's uh have a drink on it.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Jeet, looks as though everyone in the blue book has
turned out this opening.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Well, it certainly does for a nightclub opening too. I
guess the place is made.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Squeeze us in any tidy here. We won't dare eat
any dinner.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Oh now, we must avoid that catastrophe at any cost.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Jim, help me pick out the celebrity.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Well, let's see. There's the mayor over there, and at
the table next to him are Missus Lydia Wimbersham and
her nephew, Hollis Thermo.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Her she's the richest woman in the stage, isn't she?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Yes, But young hollow Us as doing everything he can
to reliever of that honor. Oh, Fern, she's wearing her
rubies the ear rings, Jim, O.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Those the famous eyes of Shiva rubies.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
That's right, Fern.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Heavens, I never thought i'd see if it's Jews in
a nightclub.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Missus Lilimbersham doesn't appear in public very often, but when
she does, she makes folks sit up and take notice.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Gush, this is exciting, Jim. Let's dance. I want to
get a closer look at those rubies.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
All right, Fern, let's go.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Well, Aunt Lydia, did you have a good time?
Speaker 7 (07:37):
I did, Hollis, you were here to invite me. It's
quite a nice club.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I suppose you noticed that your rubies got more attention
than the floor show.
Speaker 8 (07:46):
Well, this is the first time I've worn them in
the year.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I was surprised. Why did you wear them tonight, aunt Lydia.
Speaker 8 (07:52):
It's your uncle's birthday, Hollis.
Speaker 7 (07:55):
When he was living, I always wore the rubies on
his birthday, and since his death continued to do so.
Speaker 8 (08:01):
You knew there, of course I'd forgotten, Hollis.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
What's the matter you've seemed preoccupied all evening?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Oh, it's the same old thing, Auntie.
Speaker 8 (08:12):
You're not having money troubles a pen, Hollis.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I'm afraid I am auntle dear.
Speaker 8 (08:16):
How much are you overdrawn this time?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
It's worse than that. I might as well tell you
the truth, Attie. I'm in debt for thirty five thousand, Hollis.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
How did that happen?
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Why?
Speaker 8 (08:28):
I've always given you a generous allowance? Hallis? Have you
been kipling again after you promise me?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I know, I know I'm wrong, and I admit it,
but that doesn't satisfy my creditors.
Speaker 8 (08:40):
Hollis. I won't give you the money this time.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
What am I to do? Then?
Speaker 8 (08:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
You gave me your word when I paid your debts
last time, that it wouldn't happen again, And now this
you'll have to settle your debts as best you can
on your allowance.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
That sounds final, aunt Liddy.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
It is, Hollis. Believe me, my boy. It's for your
own good. It's high time you settled down and lived
down your incos.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
All right, let's forget it, Auntie, don't lecture me tonight.
Speaker 8 (09:11):
Do you want James to drive you home?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Hollis, No, I was hoping you would invite me in
for a night.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Cat.
Speaker 8 (09:17):
Oh, of course, come along. That's all for tonight, James.
Good night.
Speaker 7 (09:23):
We'll have to serve ourselves though. I gave the servants
the night off.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
That's all right, Auntie, give me your key. I'll open
the door here.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
Those servants have left all the lights burning again. Go
into the library, Hollis. I'll join you in a minute.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Where are you going, Auntie?
Speaker 7 (09:43):
I want to put these ear rings in the safe
in the living room. Go ahead, mix yourself something to drink.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Hollis, right, don't be long.
Speaker 8 (09:51):
I'll send these rubies back to the vault tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
I feel uneasy having them here in a safe.
Speaker 8 (09:59):
O relief to get them off.
Speaker 9 (10:01):
They're so heavy.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
Let me see the combination is three one oh seven.
There into your little box back in the safe. Ooh, Hollis,
(10:27):
you startled me.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
I'm sorry. I uh. I came in to ask if
you think we might find the makings of a sandwich
that nightclub dinner was on the meeker side.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
Oh, of course, I'll see what's in the ice box,
you know, Hollis. I don't think I'll ever wear the
eyes of Shiva in public again.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Why not?
Speaker 8 (10:48):
Well, I had the strangest feeling tonight.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
Oh it's silly, I know, but suddenly I thought of
the rubies as real eyes, huge glaring red eyes staring
back at all those people.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Come now, Auntie, none of your morbid fancies tonight.
Speaker 8 (11:08):
All right, Allis, I'm sorry. Bring the drinks into the
kitchen and help me with the said.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Right, I'll be radio in a moment.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
I hear footsteps in this room. Who's there?
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Who are you? What do you want?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I want the combination that you're safe, missus Wimbersham.
Speaker 8 (11:44):
No, no, get out of here now.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
If you'll just be calm and do as I say,
you won't get hurt. No use to reach for the phone.
The wires are cut.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
This is an outreage.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Come downstairs and open up. That's safe or well. I'm
prepared to kill you if I have to up to you.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
All right, I'll come.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
After you, missus Wimbisham.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
You're after the rubies, of course, but what good will
they do you?
Speaker 8 (12:14):
No one will dare buy them.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I'll worry about that this way, okay.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
And I suppose you open up the.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Safe three one oh seven. Very simple. Should have been
able to figure that out for myself. All right, take
out the rubies.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
What sort of a game is this? They're not here.
You've already taken them.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
No stalling, Now fish them out.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
They're not here. I tell you, look for yourself.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Stand back. They're not here. And you knew they weren't.
Talk fast, missus Wimbsham. Where are those rubies?
Speaker 8 (12:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
I put them in a safe less than two hours
ago and now they're gone.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
You're lying?
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Where are they?
Speaker 8 (12:58):
Honestly? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I'm going to get those real bies, missus Wimbusham. If
I have to choke the truth out of you, i'd
tell you if I know. We'll see about that.
Speaker 8 (13:07):
Take your heads away, chokes.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Where are they? Answered?
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Quick, girl, I'll finish the job.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
I don't know what happened to them, don't know where
are they?
Speaker 9 (13:22):
Movies, eyes.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
And now back to the Avenger and the eyes of Shiva.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Honestly, Jim, I feel terribly sorry for Inspector White. I'm
afraid he'll be out of office if he doesn't break
the wimbush and murder soon.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Well, Fern, it's been almost a week now since it happened,
and the newspapers are playing it up big. Frankly, it's
a very puzzling one.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Jim.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
Haven't you been able to pick up anything on the
telepathic indicator that might help?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
No? I haven't. If I had been at the indicator
the night the murder was committed, I probably could have.
But by the time we found out about it, the
strong emotional impulses that surrounded death by violence had weakened.
The night could pick up the confused impressions.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Jim, do you think missus Wimbusham's nephew could have done it?
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Well, evidently the police don't think so, Fern. They released
thermod yesterday. Oh that must be Inspector White. Now let
him in.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Yes, Jim, Hello, Inspector, come in. Jim's waiting for you,
Hiks Fern in the laboratory, Inspector.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
A good morning, Inspector. Well, nothing good about it, Brandon.
Have a chair and let's hear what's on your mind, Inspector.
I'll okay, Jim, I'm going to put my cards on
the table. I'm up a blind alley on this Webbersham case.
I see by the papers that you released Thermo. Oh,
we had to he had an antid alibi for the murder.
Speaker 8 (16:26):
At least that leaves you high.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
And drive for suspect, doesn't it, Inspector.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Never hire and never dry a fern well, Inspector, I
don't know whether you want my advice or not.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Usually you don't stop rubbing it in. Jim, you got
any ideas, spill them.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I'm open to anything, Okay, Inspector, if you're really asking me,
I'd say the Hollis Therma had such a good motive
for both a murder and the theft that he might
be the connecting link between them, provided both crimes were
not committed by the same person. Well, we've got a
tail on him every minute of the day and night.
And if he gets into where anybody will know it,
and where is he now at the country club paying
go plan golf?
Speaker 6 (16:58):
His aunt's JEF could have much I've.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Got an idea, Inspector, call off your man and let
Fern and me trail Thermant for the rest of the day. Okay,
but calling a report to my office every hour, Jim,
And don't give out any statements to the newspapers. Why, Inspector,
you used to love now say here, Jim, just because
you got me up a tree? All right, all right, Inspector,
no feature stories until you solve the case. Come on, Fern,
(17:22):
you and I are going to brush up on our gulf.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
Oh Jim, I've hit another ball out of ground.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
If my dear miss Collier. The idea is to keep
your eye on the ball. Remember, Yes, that's just the trouble.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
I'm trying to keep one eye on the ball and
the other on Hollis Thurmont playing there ahead of us.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Oh Jim, I'm.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
Convinced that young Frmont can't be.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Guilty, And why not, Fern.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
He's trying to a good game. His conscience must be clear.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Now he's good, all right. We've been following him for
sixteen holes and he's made of He's ten of them
in park.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
We're in good company. That man playing behind us is
good too.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Yes, I've noticed, lad looked.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
Jim Dermont just sting off of the seventeenth hole.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Let's watch for a minute, all right, if you think
it'll improve your game. I can't believe it. He sliced
that one badly.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
We hit it way out of bounds in the rough,
and he's setting up another one.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Oh, he sliced that one too, and it landed in
exactly the same place as the other.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
That's seventeenth hole. Must be a jink. Look, Jim, Thermo's mad.
He's going to stop playing.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Played through you.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Oh no, not at all.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Go ahead, thanks, thank you very much, Not at all.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Oh, that fellow is just as good as Thermont.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
Now he's ready for the seventeenth hole. Wonder how we'll
make out.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Oh, Thermont's going toward the clubhouse, fern. We better go.
We don't want to give him a chance to slip
away from here with al us.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
All right, Jim, Jim, did you see that?
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Yes, that foe played through us. Sliced his ball just
like Thermont did, and.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
It landed in the same place too.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
But he's going after his Well, that's a very strange coincidence.
I him.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
You'd better hurt if we want to catch up with Thermo.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Right, friend, Come on, did Dermont come out of the
clubhouse yet, ferns.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
A few moments ago, Jim, he went around to get
his car.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
I just called the inspector. He says, we're just stay
with Thermont.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
We better get him the car then, and be ready
to follow. Right, I can grow on a cold trail.
Though Dermot hasn't even spoken to anyone out here.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
What's happened? He strangled Inspector White at Plice headquarters. Attendant
tell him to get out here right away.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Jim.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
I can't believe it, as I.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Want you to get a caddy and go down to
the rough and get those golf balls.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Golf balls in the world then they have to do.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Never mind that. Now, get those golf balls and bring
them back here, all right, Jim. And in the meantime,
I'll see if I can pick up the trail of
Thermont's murderer. Well, Brandon, not that we're back at headquarters
and camp be overheard. What have you got to say
(20:08):
for yourself? Not a thing, Inspector. Evidently Thurmont's murderer was
waiting for him in his car. Thurmont was strangled in
exactly the same way as his aunt.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
It happened very suddenly, inspector. Why we just gave Thermout
a few minutes to drive around the clubhouse in his car.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
So that we could follow.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I don't worry about that, Fern. If the murderer hadn't
caught up with him, there would have happened somewheres else.
But the newspapers are screwing for my scalp. Nonetheless, we'll
get the murderer, inspector. All we have to do is
find that man who followed Fern and me on the
golf course. He's our man. What makes you show sure that?
Because Fern found only one golf ball when she went
down to the rough, Thermont hit two down and our
(20:45):
suspect hit one down there. Now, if our suspect really
went down there to recover his own ball, he would
either have picked up his own and left Rmont's two
or picked up all three. Since he left one ball there,
he must have picked up Thurmont's two. It was too
far out of mounds for ordinary straight balls.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Well does that get us, yes, Jim, I don't see
what difference it makes who'se golf balls he picked up?
Speaker 4 (21:06):
If those two golf balls Thermon sliced into the rough,
have the rub in them. It would make plenty of difference,
wouldn't it. Jim, Do you think I'll certainly do, Inspector.
Thermoon's deliberately knocked those balls into the rough for somebody
to back up. And we know who recovered those balls.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
We do who, Jim means, we know what the man
looks like.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Inspector. I want to see every picture you've got of
known criminals in this state. Come on, Fern, we're going
to work.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Okay, Well, this batch of pictures just came in this morning.
Mostly parole Jump is believed headed this way. Well, now
that sounds like a good bet.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
No local criminal would have taken such risks of being
recognized different you look through that bet.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Oh, this is the craziest case I've ever worked on.
None of it makes sense beginning to Inspector. No, not
to me.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Be patient for another day or two, Inspector, and you'll
have the newspapers eating out of your hands.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
Jim, Jim hearing love. This is the man who played
through us on.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
The golf crush. Sure enough, Clyde Devers jewel thief served
sentences in Look, it's like you've hit on something, Jim. Inspector,
have your men track down this golf board.
Speaker 10 (22:03):
What for Jim?
Speaker 4 (22:04):
I believe Defers was fronting this job for someone. Let's
shoot for the jackpot, inspector. This is Clutcher Croft's place
burn According to the inspector's list, Kraft buys the type
of golf ball Devers used.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
But what makes you think Croft is our likeliest prospect?
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Jim Young Thermon owned him money.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
Well it's worth a try.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Now that's Croft's office, straight through the entrance hall. Now
you know what to say, and don't be frightened because
when Croft opens the door to let you in, the
Avenger will be right behind you. Good girl.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
Go ahead then, mister Croft, Yes, what do you want?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Come in and close the door.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
Mister Croft, I'm from the firm Buys and Trembling. You're
in charge of settling the Wimbusham estate, and I'm getting
a list of Hollis Thermont's creditors. What was the amount
mister Thermont owed you on.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Our gambling debts paid off by an estate? You wouldn't
happen to be a detective with you, I know. I'm
Deavis Devis. Come in here. What's up for this dame
from the police? I think lockly Dawes Davis. Now speak up, miss,
(23:29):
Just who are you?
Speaker 6 (23:30):
I just came here on a hunch. I thought I
might find the eyes of Shiba rubies here.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Why this is the dame that was on the golf
course the day I day you murdered Thermont. Isn't that right?
Speaker 9 (23:41):
Devers?
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Who's that? Where did that? Boys come from? From the avenger? Coft?
The avenger? We're sunk, Clutcher, not yet, Davis, grab the girl.
We can't see the avenger, but we can see her
her witch.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Your gun reads you.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
You're playing the fool ever Coft is double crossing him.
He's judging for the inner off, just to make it
get away.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
No, you're not Croft.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
You're not hanging this wrap on me. Stay where you are, Adrillia.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
It's every man for himself now, Denis, come back to Craft.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
You shut You've had that coming for a long time.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Clutcher, my gun. Take it up, your lady. I knocked
it out of your hand.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
I have.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Him if he makes a move.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
It was crossed.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
I tell you, he hired me. He engineered the whole thing.
Save your story for the police.
Speaker 10 (25:00):
Uh uh, Come on in.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Jim Devis is ready to talk now. At last, I
was beginning to think he'd never breaks all right, Devis,
why did you kill Lydia Wimbersham because I thought she was.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Lying when she said she didn't know where the rubies were.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Didn't occur to you that Thermont might have taken them?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
No, I didn't know anything about the Thermont angle until later.
I failed to get the rubies. Then Kraft told me
Thermont must have.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Beaten us to it.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
But by that time Thurmont was in jail for questioning
concerning the murder of his aunt.
Speaker 9 (26:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
We just had to sit tight and wait until it
was free to make contact with his customer.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
When did you first suspect that the rubies were in
the golf balls? Not until Thermont slice them into the rough.
I'm an expert on golf. I could see that he
deliberately sliced those balls.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
And after you recovered the balls, you went back to
the clubhouse until Thermount.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Kraft told me to He was afraid Thermont would begin
squawking to the police when he discovered Craft had framed them.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Why was the next move there is?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Well, he tried to contact Thurmont's customer, the rich Indian importer,
but discovered heat sailed quietly for home as soon as
he heard about missus Wimbersham's murder.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
He was scared of getting involved. I guess so the.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Rubies weren't worth a penny to you on Croft because
the one and only customer for them was on the
High Seas.
Speaker 10 (27:16):
Yea.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
And by that time we.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Were wishing we'd never heard of the Eyes of Shiva
any more.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Questions Jim, Oh, just about cleans up the case, Inspecker. Okay,
that's all Davis. The charge's murder, three of them, Take
them away, boys.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
But Jim, I still don't understand. If that Indian importer
had sailed for home, why did Thurmont go ahead with
the plans for delivering the jewels to him?
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Thermat didn't know the Indian flag, Fern, and he was
deferent spirit from money now wonder.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
The inspectors said this was the craziest case he ever
worked on.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
You can say that again, Ern. This one almost had
the Avenger baffle too too.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
All characters, names, places, and plots used in the Avenger
program are fictitious. Any similarity to persons living or dead
is purely coincidental. This is a thought, a thought, a thought.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Remember listen for another adventurer, The Avenger
The Avenger, the Road to crime, and the tap that
justice sets five does not pay.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
The Avenger, sworn enemy of evil, is actually Jim Brandon.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Of famous biochemist.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
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 a secret diffusion capsule which flok
him in the black light of invisibility. Brandon's assistant, the
beautiful Fern Collier, is the only one who shares his
secrets and knows that he is the man the underworld
(02:08):
fears as the Avenger.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
And now.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
The Avenger and the Eyes of Shiva.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Come in. Oh, good evening, mister Thermont. Hello Kroft, have
a chair, Thermont. What's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
As though you didn't know well, I can guess.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Of course, when a young man about town calls on
a gamble in his office.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
It means he's broke. Kraft. I want you to okay
another iou for me.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Vermont. You're in too deep. I can't give you any
more credit.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Listen, Kraft, don't try any of those cold shoulder tactics
on me. I've lost a fortune in this club, as
you already.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Owe me thirty five grand Vermont? When are you going
to pay up?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
You'll get your money, but I've got to have a
little time.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
That's what you've been saying for a month. Now, let's
get cases the month. Either you pay up or I
use my own methods of collecting.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
I say you're all set to give me the works,
aren't you?
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Croft?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
If necessary, give me one more week and I can
raise the money.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Sorry, I need more than your words that thermout may
I ask where you expect to get that kind of
money from my aunt Lydia missus wimbushm yes, what makes
you think she'll advance you thirty five thousand just for
the asking?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
She'll have to and if she doesn't, then well I
have another way of getting it. No, there a munt.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I can't accept vague promises any longer. I'll give you
twenty four hours to raise the dough.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I can't do it in that time. You will have
to make a weak craft. If you want to collect
your money, what's your plan?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Then I've got to know my chances.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Well, you've heard of my aunt's rubies, the famous eyes
of Siva. Who hasn't I've got a customer for those rubies.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Craft you you mean you plan to steal the rubies
from your aunt.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Well, if you want to put it as crudely as that, yes,
They'll be mine some day anyway, so I might as
well get them now and they can do me the
most good. And if you're caught, I don't think aunt
Lydia would prosecute the family name and all that.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
This er brave customer you spoke of, who is he?
It seems unbelievable to me that anyone would be foolish
enough to buy such famous stones. Those rubies can never
be put on the market. They'll be too hot.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
My customer will give me two hundred thousand for them,
and he has no desire to market.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Them two hundred thousand. Who has that kind of dough?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
A rich Indian importer. He's tried to buy the rubies
from my aunt directly, but she won't sell. You See,
those stones have a special significance to people of his country.
At one time, those rubies were the eyes of an
ancient statue of the goddess Shiva. This rich Indian owns
that statue now and he wants to have the eyes replaced.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Well, I don't know that statue stuff so Greek to me.
I have even heard about this Sheva goddess you should
have kroft. Siva is the goddess of thugs. She has
seven arms and strangles all who do not please her.
I'd say she speaks your language, Kroft. Hmm, sounds like
(05:42):
a very interesting game.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Well, Kroft. In case my aunt refuses to give me
the money, are you willing to give me that week's
grace to get the rubies?
Speaker 4 (05:51):
All right, there, Mount, I'll play ball.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Good.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Take a few days to work on your aunt for
the money, though, before you risk stealing the rubies. Thirty
five brand in the hand is worth more than two
hundred thousand in some goddess his eyes. It's a deal, Croft.
We have a date then, Therma, a week from tonight.
Let's uh have a drink on it.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Jeet, looks as though everyone in the blue book has
turned out this opening.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Well, it certainly does for a nightclub opening too. I
guess the place is made.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Squeeze us in any tidy here. We won't dare eat
any dinner.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Oh now, we must avoid that catastrophe at any cost.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Jim, help me pick out the celebrity.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Well, let's see. There's the mayor over there, and at
the table next to him are Missus Lydia Wimbersham and
her nephew, Hollis Thermo.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Her she's the richest woman in the stage, isn't she?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Yes, But young hollow Us as doing everything he can
to reliever of that honor. Oh, Fern, she's wearing her
rubies the ear rings, Jim, O.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Those the famous eyes of Shiva rubies.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
That's right, Fern.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Heavens, I never thought i'd see if it's Jews in
a nightclub.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Missus Lilimbersham doesn't appear in public very often, but when
she does, she makes folks sit up and take notice.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Gush, this is exciting, Jim. Let's dance. I want to
get a closer look at those rubies.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
All right, Fern, let's go.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Well, Aunt Lydia, did you have a good time?
Speaker 7 (07:37):
I did, Hollis, you were here to invite me. It's
quite a nice club.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I suppose you noticed that your rubies got more attention
than the floor show.
Speaker 8 (07:46):
Well, this is the first time I've worn them in
the year.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I was surprised. Why did you wear them tonight, aunt Lydia.
Speaker 8 (07:52):
It's your uncle's birthday, Hollis.
Speaker 7 (07:55):
When he was living, I always wore the rubies on
his birthday, and since his death continued to do so.
Speaker 8 (08:01):
You knew there, of course I'd forgotten, Hollis.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
What's the matter you've seemed preoccupied all evening?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Oh, it's the same old thing, Auntie.
Speaker 8 (08:12):
You're not having money troubles a pen, Hollis.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I'm afraid I am auntle dear.
Speaker 8 (08:16):
How much are you overdrawn this time?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
It's worse than that. I might as well tell you
the truth, Attie. I'm in debt for thirty five thousand, Hollis.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
How did that happen?
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Why?
Speaker 8 (08:28):
I've always given you a generous allowance? Hallis? Have you
been kipling again after you promise me?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I know, I know I'm wrong, and I admit it,
but that doesn't satisfy my creditors.
Speaker 8 (08:40):
Hollis. I won't give you the money this time.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
What am I to do? Then?
Speaker 8 (08:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
You gave me your word when I paid your debts
last time, that it wouldn't happen again, And now this
you'll have to settle your debts as best you can
on your allowance.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
That sounds final, aunt Liddy.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
It is, Hollis. Believe me, my boy. It's for your
own good. It's high time you settled down and lived
down your incos.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
All right, let's forget it, Auntie, don't lecture me tonight.
Speaker 8 (09:11):
Do you want James to drive you home?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Hollis, No, I was hoping you would invite me in
for a night.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Cat.
Speaker 8 (09:17):
Oh, of course, come along. That's all for tonight, James.
Good night.
Speaker 7 (09:23):
We'll have to serve ourselves though. I gave the servants
the night off.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
That's all right, Auntie, give me your key. I'll open
the door here.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
Those servants have left all the lights burning again. Go
into the library, Hollis. I'll join you in a minute.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Where are you going, Auntie?
Speaker 7 (09:43):
I want to put these ear rings in the safe
in the living room. Go ahead, mix yourself something to drink.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Hollis, right, don't be long.
Speaker 8 (09:51):
I'll send these rubies back to the vault tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
I feel uneasy having them here in a safe.
Speaker 8 (09:59):
O relief to get them off.
Speaker 9 (10:01):
They're so heavy.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
Let me see the combination is three one oh seven.
There into your little box back in the safe. Ooh, Hollis,
(10:27):
you startled me.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
I'm sorry. I uh. I came in to ask if
you think we might find the makings of a sandwich
that nightclub dinner was on the meeker side.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
Oh, of course, I'll see what's in the ice box,
you know, Hollis. I don't think I'll ever wear the
eyes of Shiva in public again.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Why not?
Speaker 8 (10:48):
Well, I had the strangest feeling tonight.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
Oh it's silly, I know, but suddenly I thought of
the rubies as real eyes, huge glaring red eyes staring
back at all those people.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Come now, Auntie, none of your morbid fancies tonight.
Speaker 8 (11:08):
All right, Allis, I'm sorry. Bring the drinks into the
kitchen and help me with the said.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Right, I'll be radio in a moment.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
I hear footsteps in this room. Who's there?
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Who are you? What do you want?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I want the combination that you're safe, missus Wimbersham.
Speaker 8 (11:44):
No, no, get out of here now.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
If you'll just be calm and do as I say,
you won't get hurt. No use to reach for the phone.
The wires are cut.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
This is an outreage.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Come downstairs and open up. That's safe or well. I'm
prepared to kill you if I have to up to you.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
All right, I'll come.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
After you, missus Wimbisham.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
You're after the rubies, of course, but what good will
they do you?
Speaker 8 (12:14):
No one will dare buy them.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I'll worry about that this way, okay.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
And I suppose you open up the.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Safe three one oh seven. Very simple. Should have been
able to figure that out for myself. All right, take
out the rubies.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
What sort of a game is this? They're not here.
You've already taken them.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
No stalling, Now fish them out.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
They're not here. I tell you, look for yourself.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Stand back. They're not here. And you knew they weren't.
Talk fast, missus Wimbsham. Where are those rubies?
Speaker 8 (12:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
I put them in a safe less than two hours
ago and now they're gone.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
You're lying?
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Where are they?
Speaker 8 (12:58):
Honestly? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I'm going to get those real bies, missus Wimbusham. If
I have to choke the truth out of you, i'd
tell you if I know. We'll see about that.
Speaker 8 (13:07):
Take your heads away, chokes.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Where are they? Answered?
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Quick, girl, I'll finish the job.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
I don't know what happened to them, don't know where
are they?
Speaker 9 (13:22):
Movies, eyes.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
And now back to the Avenger and the eyes of Shiva.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Honestly, Jim, I feel terribly sorry for Inspector White. I'm
afraid he'll be out of office if he doesn't break
the wimbush and murder soon.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Well, Fern, it's been almost a week now since it happened,
and the newspapers are playing it up big. Frankly, it's
a very puzzling one.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Jim.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
Haven't you been able to pick up anything on the
telepathic indicator that might help?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
No? I haven't. If I had been at the indicator
the night the murder was committed, I probably could have.
But by the time we found out about it, the
strong emotional impulses that surrounded death by violence had weakened.
The night could pick up the confused impressions.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Jim, do you think missus Wimbusham's nephew could have done it?
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Well, evidently the police don't think so, Fern. They released
thermod yesterday. Oh that must be Inspector White. Now let
him in.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Yes, Jim, Hello, Inspector, come in. Jim's waiting for you,
Hiks Fern in the laboratory, Inspector.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
A good morning, Inspector. Well, nothing good about it, Brandon.
Have a chair and let's hear what's on your mind, Inspector.
I'll okay, Jim, I'm going to put my cards on
the table. I'm up a blind alley on this Webbersham case.
I see by the papers that you released Thermo. Oh,
we had to he had an antid alibi for the murder.
Speaker 8 (16:26):
At least that leaves you high.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
And drive for suspect, doesn't it, Inspector.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Never hire and never dry a fern well, Inspector, I
don't know whether you want my advice or not.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Usually you don't stop rubbing it in. Jim, you got
any ideas, spill them.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I'm open to anything, Okay, Inspector, if you're really asking me,
I'd say the Hollis Therma had such a good motive
for both a murder and the theft that he might
be the connecting link between them, provided both crimes were
not committed by the same person. Well, we've got a
tail on him every minute of the day and night.
And if he gets into where anybody will know it,
and where is he now at the country club paying
go plan golf?
Speaker 6 (16:58):
His aunt's JEF could have much I've.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Got an idea, Inspector, call off your man and let
Fern and me trail Thermant for the rest of the day. Okay,
but calling a report to my office every hour, Jim,
And don't give out any statements to the newspapers. Why, Inspector,
you used to love now say here, Jim, just because
you got me up a tree? All right, all right, Inspector,
no feature stories until you solve the case. Come on, Fern,
(17:22):
you and I are going to brush up on our gulf.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
Oh Jim, I've hit another ball out of ground.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
If my dear miss Collier. The idea is to keep
your eye on the ball. Remember, Yes, that's just the trouble.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
I'm trying to keep one eye on the ball and
the other on Hollis Thurmont playing there ahead of us.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Oh Jim, I'm.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
Convinced that young Frmont can't be.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Guilty, And why not, Fern.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
He's trying to a good game. His conscience must be clear.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Now he's good, all right. We've been following him for
sixteen holes and he's made of He's ten of them
in park.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
We're in good company. That man playing behind us is
good too.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Yes, I've noticed, lad looked.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
Jim Dermont just sting off of the seventeenth hole.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Let's watch for a minute, all right, if you think
it'll improve your game. I can't believe it. He sliced
that one badly.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
We hit it way out of bounds in the rough,
and he's setting up another one.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Oh, he sliced that one too, and it landed in
exactly the same place as the other.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
That's seventeenth hole. Must be a jink. Look, Jim, Thermo's mad.
He's going to stop playing.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Played through you.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Oh no, not at all.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Go ahead, thanks, thank you very much, Not at all.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Oh, that fellow is just as good as Thermont.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
Now he's ready for the seventeenth hole. Wonder how we'll
make out.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Oh, Thermont's going toward the clubhouse, fern. We better go.
We don't want to give him a chance to slip
away from here with al us.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
All right, Jim, Jim, did you see that?
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Yes, that foe played through us. Sliced his ball just
like Thermont did, and.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
It landed in the same place too.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
But he's going after his Well, that's a very strange coincidence.
I him.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
You'd better hurt if we want to catch up with Thermo.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Right, friend, Come on, did Dermont come out of the
clubhouse yet, ferns.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
A few moments ago, Jim, he went around to get
his car.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
I just called the inspector. He says, we're just stay
with Thermont.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
We better get him the car then, and be ready
to follow. Right, I can grow on a cold trail.
Though Dermot hasn't even spoken to anyone out here.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
What's happened? He strangled Inspector White at Plice headquarters. Attendant
tell him to get out here right away.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Jim.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
I can't believe it, as I.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Want you to get a caddy and go down to
the rough and get those golf balls.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Golf balls in the world then they have to do.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Never mind that. Now, get those golf balls and bring
them back here, all right, Jim. And in the meantime,
I'll see if I can pick up the trail of
Thermont's murderer. Well, Brandon, not that we're back at headquarters
and camp be overheard. What have you got to say
(20:08):
for yourself? Not a thing, Inspector. Evidently Thurmont's murderer was
waiting for him in his car. Thurmont was strangled in
exactly the same way as his aunt.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
It happened very suddenly, inspector. Why we just gave Thermout
a few minutes to drive around the clubhouse in his car.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
So that we could follow.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I don't worry about that, Fern. If the murderer hadn't
caught up with him, there would have happened somewheres else.
But the newspapers are screwing for my scalp. Nonetheless, we'll
get the murderer, inspector. All we have to do is
find that man who followed Fern and me on the
golf course. He's our man. What makes you show sure that?
Because Fern found only one golf ball when she went
down to the rough, Thermont hit two down and our
(20:45):
suspect hit one down there. Now, if our suspect really
went down there to recover his own ball, he would
either have picked up his own and left Rmont's two
or picked up all three. Since he left one ball there,
he must have picked up Thurmont's two. It was too
far out of mounds for ordinary straight balls.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Well does that get us, yes, Jim, I don't see
what difference it makes who'se golf balls he picked up?
Speaker 4 (21:06):
If those two golf balls Thermon sliced into the rough,
have the rub in them. It would make plenty of difference,
wouldn't it. Jim, Do you think I'll certainly do, Inspector.
Thermoon's deliberately knocked those balls into the rough for somebody
to back up. And we know who recovered those balls.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
We do who, Jim means, we know what the man
looks like.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Inspector. I want to see every picture you've got of
known criminals in this state. Come on, Fern, we're going
to work.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Okay, Well, this batch of pictures just came in this morning.
Mostly parole Jump is believed headed this way. Well, now
that sounds like a good bet.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
No local criminal would have taken such risks of being
recognized different you look through that bet.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Oh, this is the craziest case I've ever worked on.
None of it makes sense beginning to Inspector. No, not
to me.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Be patient for another day or two, Inspector, and you'll
have the newspapers eating out of your hands.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
Jim, Jim hearing love. This is the man who played
through us on.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
The golf crush. Sure enough, Clyde Devers jewel thief served
sentences in Look, it's like you've hit on something, Jim. Inspector,
have your men track down this golf board.
Speaker 10 (22:03):
What for Jim?
Speaker 4 (22:04):
I believe Defers was fronting this job for someone. Let's
shoot for the jackpot, inspector. This is Clutcher Croft's place
burn According to the inspector's list, Kraft buys the type
of golf ball Devers used.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
But what makes you think Croft is our likeliest prospect?
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Jim Young Thermon owned him money.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
Well it's worth a try.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Now that's Croft's office, straight through the entrance hall. Now
you know what to say, and don't be frightened because
when Croft opens the door to let you in, the
Avenger will be right behind you. Good girl.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
Go ahead then, mister Croft, Yes, what do you want?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Come in and close the door.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
Mister Croft, I'm from the firm Buys and Trembling. You're
in charge of settling the Wimbusham estate, and I'm getting
a list of Hollis Thermont's creditors. What was the amount
mister Thermont owed you on.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Our gambling debts paid off by an estate? You wouldn't
happen to be a detective with you, I know. I'm
Deavis Devis. Come in here. What's up for this dame
from the police? I think lockly Dawes Davis. Now speak up, miss,
(23:29):
Just who are you?
Speaker 6 (23:30):
I just came here on a hunch. I thought I
might find the eyes of Shiba rubies here.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Why this is the dame that was on the golf
course the day I day you murdered Thermont. Isn't that right?
Speaker 9 (23:41):
Devers?
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Who's that? Where did that? Boys come from? From the avenger? Coft?
The avenger? We're sunk, Clutcher, not yet, Davis, grab the girl.
We can't see the avenger, but we can see her
her witch.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Your gun reads you.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
You're playing the fool ever Coft is double crossing him.
He's judging for the inner off, just to make it
get away.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
No, you're not Croft.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
You're not hanging this wrap on me. Stay where you are, Adrillia.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
It's every man for himself now, Denis, come back to Craft.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
You shut You've had that coming for a long time.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Clutcher, my gun. Take it up, your lady. I knocked
it out of your hand.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
I have.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Him if he makes a move.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
It was crossed.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
I tell you, he hired me. He engineered the whole thing.
Save your story for the police.
Speaker 10 (25:00):
Uh uh, Come on in.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Jim Devis is ready to talk now. At last, I
was beginning to think he'd never breaks all right, Devis,
why did you kill Lydia Wimbersham because I thought she was.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Lying when she said she didn't know where the rubies were.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Didn't occur to you that Thermont might have taken them?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
No, I didn't know anything about the Thermont angle until later.
I failed to get the rubies. Then Kraft told me
Thermont must have.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Beaten us to it.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
But by that time Thurmont was in jail for questioning
concerning the murder of his aunt.
Speaker 9 (26:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
We just had to sit tight and wait until it
was free to make contact with his customer.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
When did you first suspect that the rubies were in
the golf balls? Not until Thermont slice them into the rough.
I'm an expert on golf. I could see that he
deliberately sliced those balls.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
And after you recovered the balls, you went back to
the clubhouse until Thermount.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Kraft told me to He was afraid Thermont would begin
squawking to the police when he discovered Craft had framed them.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Why was the next move there is?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Well, he tried to contact Thurmont's customer, the rich Indian importer,
but discovered heat sailed quietly for home as soon as
he heard about missus Wimbersham's murder.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
He was scared of getting involved. I guess so the.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Rubies weren't worth a penny to you on Croft because
the one and only customer for them was on the
High Seas.
Speaker 10 (27:16):
Yea.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
And by that time we.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Were wishing we'd never heard of the Eyes of Shiva
any more.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Questions Jim, Oh, just about cleans up the case, Inspecker. Okay,
that's all Davis. The charge's murder, three of them, Take
them away, boys.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
But Jim, I still don't understand. If that Indian importer
had sailed for home, why did Thurmont go ahead with
the plans for delivering the jewels to him?
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Thermat didn't know the Indian flag, Fern, and he was
deferent spirit from money now wonder.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
The inspectors said this was the craziest case he ever
worked on.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
You can say that again, Ern. This one almost had
the Avenger baffle too too.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
All characters, names, places, and plots used in the Avenger
program are fictitious. Any similarity to persons living or dead
is purely coincidental. This is a thought, a thought, a thought.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
