Speaker 1 (00:00):
H Hello, Yes, this is the Falcon speaking. Oh Linda,
I'm glad you call and you'll have to cancel me
out tonight in June. I've got to take a toy
away from the baby. Someone just bought this baby a gun.
Unless I stop her, she figures to get quite a
(00:21):
bang out of it.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
This is the Herly Hey, friends in fighting you on
behalf of the Craft Boots Company to listen to the
Adventures of the Falcon, starring Least Taman. You met the
Falcon first in his best selling novels, and you saw
him in his Throwing Motion Victure series. Now join him
on the air when the Falcon solves.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
The case of the missing.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Miss In just a moment, you'll hear the latest adventure
of the Falcon. But first, here's important news for you
from the makers of Craft Holiday Foods. Today, on this program,
we're making the first nationwide radio announcement of a wonderful
(01:06):
new product brought to you by Craft, Yes, a brand
new member of the Craft family of fine foods. At
this point, we're not even going to tell you what
the new product is. We're saving that for our next announcement.
But be sure to keep tune to this program. Listen
for the big news from Craft in just a few minutes,
(01:30):
and now the case of the Missing miss.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
It is late Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
A short, heavyset boy in a dirty trench coat makes
his way to the twelfth floor suite of Senator Arthur Blake.
When it comes to the door, he feels at his
left shoulder, where the outline of a holster can be seen.
Then obviously a mere sure, and he hasn't forgotten the
tools of his trade.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
He knocks on the senator's door. Yes, the second, Yes,
Senator Blake.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Well, I'm afraid he's busy at the moment. Can I
help you on? Marion Crane?
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Secretary nice? Where is he?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Then?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Just a moment, mister Darling, I don't remember making apartment
to you.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I don't not to worry, Miss Crane. I make my
own married.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Would you be good enough to I'm sorry, my dear,
I didn't realize we had a visitor.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Hello, Senator, how do you do so?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I hate to break in and you like this, but
it can't be helped. My name is Doling Dowling.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Are you no? I'm not one of your constituents. I'm
with the FBI.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
FBI.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
That's right, honey. Well, what can I do for you?
Mister Darling? You can get your things and come along
with me. I'm afraid I don't understand, sir.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
You don't, Senator, if I have an outseet called premium oil.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Premium oil, No, I don't believe I have.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
How about a party named Jean Colbert. No, it's very strange, Senator,
because our investigation shows you helped Colbert sell over eight
million dollars worth of petroleum products to the Navy during
the war.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
My good man is selling oil to the navy a
violation of the law.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
It is when Colbert and its phony company never delivered
even a jar of vasoline for all that though, or
there must be some mistake could be Suppose you take
that up with my chief. I'll be glad to mister
Darling if you'll excuse me for a moment.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Wait a minute's senter, Then where are you going? Just
to get my briefcase? I left it in the bedroom.
I assure you I have no intention of escaping.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Okay, mister Darling. Yeah, are you from the Washington Bureau
or the local office?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
What difference is? Did you hear something? Then?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yes, came in the bedroom.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
They're a fire escape in there. Can if not window
play where you are, mister Darling, If you take one
more stat I'll listen.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Blake, quit bluffing and climb down off that window.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Ledge, So you think I'm bluffing? Hoorol.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Hello, Lindsay, you know you're not supposed to come to
my apartment unless I have something for you.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Well, I got something for you, Lindsey.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Senator Blake just committed suicide. What are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Haven't you seen the afternoon papers?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
No, we'll take a look.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Senator Arthur Blake commits suicide. Head of Contract Negotiation Committee
dies in two a story leap.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So what what don't you get at, Lindsay? This is
all tied up with premium oil?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Is that what it says?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Oh? But that's the way it figures.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Senator Blake was my contact.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Senator Yeah, I related all the instructions that got from
you to him. While you're out of your mind. Hoorral.
There's nothing wrong with premium oil. Sure there is.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
I've been convinced of that for a year.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Well then why didn't you talk up before?
Speaker 5 (04:45):
I don't know, maybe the money was too good, or maybe.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I was a friend.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
You're wrong, Horror, I don't be a chomp. If Premium
Oil was on the up and up, why would they.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Go for all this hocus pocus? What hocus pocus?
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Why nobody in this setup knows anyone else but the
party gets his instructions from.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Well, I guess that just prevents leaks.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
You don't believe that anymore than I do. I listen, Lindsay,
we gotta compare notes. Who's the guy you get your
instructions from?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I can't tell you. I don't be a saf friend.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
We're playing with dynamite.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Who's your contact, John Colbert?
Speaker 5 (05:16):
You gotta get in touch with him?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I can't. You got to. But you don't understand, Hurral.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
I've never seen this Colbert. Whenever he's got any message
for me.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
He writes, Well, then he must be the head man
in his racket.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Now, don't call it that.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Why you got a better name. We gotta face at, Lindsay.
They've just been using us for tools.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
There's nothing we can do about it.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Yes, there is too. I'm gonna get a private detective.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I think you're making a mistake, Hurral.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Now I should have done it a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
You with me. No, I I'm going to sit quiet
for a while.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
You better change your mind, Lindsay.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
There's plenty of time for that when you're dead. Yeah,
I'd like to talk to Michael Warren. Please you are now, oh,
mister Warren. My name is Edward Morrell herel Yeah. I
(06:14):
hate to bothery on Sunday, but I need help fast.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I'm gonna suggest to try someone else. Someone else, Sure,
and I said, is as big as New York. There
must be at least two private detectives.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
You don't understand, Warren. Uh, did you read about Senator
Blake's suicide? What about it? I'm the boy who paid
him off. What are you yapping about? Another fellow named Kenneth.
Lindsay and myself were employed by Premium More you see,
but we didn't know what kind of a racket it was.
As a matter of fact, Lindsay still isn't convinced. How
come you are well, I've been doing a little checking
(06:45):
on my own.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Well, if you've got any information Herali, you should turn
it over to the proper authorities.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Where do you live? I'm at the Kimberley Apartment four A.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
You there now, Yeah, I don't do any more talking
on the phone.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
You're why it may be tapped. I'll be there in
half an hour.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
That you were yeah, okay, come in.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Thanks. I didn't expect you for another twenty minutes. Let
me take your m's matter around. You're not worring, ain't I?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
No?
Speaker 5 (07:24):
I've seen pictures of him and he's at least six
inches taller than you are.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Maybe it just seems like that.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
Yeah, how do you account for his hair being black
while yours is blonde?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Don't you think it goes better with my complexion? Listen?
Messed up? What's your game? You don't have to worry around?
And from the FBI?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, you don't seem convinced.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
What's your name, darling? Did Wearing send you here? Yep?
Quitch Wearing? And why aren't you the suspicious one? You're
done right? I am, especially since I've been listening to
the radio. What do you mean? Well, according to what
I just heard, before Senator Blake committed suicide, an FBI
agent drop around to see him. So after Blake jumped.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
This character told blake secretary to stay where she was
and he go get the police. Yes, he never come back.
My cops think he was a phony, and you think
that was me. Let me meets your description.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
If you said boy in a kack a trench coat.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Well, I guess there's only one way I can prove
it to you. You want to see my credentials.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
That might be a good idea.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Okay, real now, what did this look like?
Speaker 5 (08:25):
What's the idea of the gun?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You asked to see it? Then?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I was right, Yeah, but I don't think it'll do
you much good.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
You kill Senator Blake? No, he was obliging enough to
save me the trouble.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
You see my department, j your department, yeah, the department
of dead ends.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I'm what you might call the clean up man, a
premium oil.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
You're not fool of me.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
You're Jehan Colbert. Oh, John Colbert. I don't seem to
recall that name.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
How about Kenneth Lindsay?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Glad you reminded me. I got to see him next
to Suppose we get.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
This overwhell Kate Camber talked us over.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I don't think so well, puppet check, what can you lose?
You wouldn't be trying to store me, would you? Herald?
Why should I ams to me? You mentioned something about
a fellow named Wearing being doue here. Oh oh, well
I was wrong. You said it around. You were wrong,
dead wrong, not Dollard luck.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I'll give you.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
You've give me what too bad? Yes, I'll never know.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yes, sir Kenneth Lindsay, that's right, Edward Herald gave me
your name.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Oh well, come in. I guess there is such a
thing as luck. I thank your pardon.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
There are eight Kenneth Lindsay's in the phone book. The
first time I get the right one.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Now, look mister, oh yes, I'm sorry. My name is
Mike Wearing. I'm working for Herald. Then he did hire
a detective.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah, oh, sit down, thanks? Uh think as I could
stand one after seeing herrel?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Why didn't you uh bring him along? Cops thought he'd
be much more comfortable than Morgue. I think you drop something, Lindsay.
Is this your idea of a joke Wearing about heral hardly?
He was murdered an hour ago? Who did it? Don't
you know? If Horel told you I knew anything about
John Colbert? John Colbert, who's here? Didn't Horrell mention him? No,
(10:29):
he only gave me your name. That's why I said,
I was lucky to find you. Suppose I've said now
you've got the wrong one. Well, it'd be a little
late now.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I spotted you for the right one the second I
looked into this room. How you've got five afternoon papers
here and they're all turned to the account of Senator
Blake's death.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I'm pretty smart, aren't you. No, not nearly enough. That's
why I need your help.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Well, I can't tell you a thing, and even if
I could, I wouldn't pick you for a confidant.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Or don't be a fool, lindsay. I told Horel to
keep his mouth shut. That didn't make any difference. Use
your head. Blake is dead and so is herrel you
think you've got. There may be something in what you say.
Of course there is. Coral got his orders from you,
didn't they? Yes, and you got them from this Jean Colburn,
that's right. Who is he? I don't know. I never
(11:12):
saw the man. I only heard from him through the mail.
If you got any of his letters here?
Speaker 4 (11:16):
And oh, yes, but I don't think they'll do you
any good.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
They're all typewritten. Now I have them. Yeah, sure, right now,
I want to get.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
One thing straight after you gave Herrella his instructions, he
forwarded them to Senator Blake.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Right, That's what Coral told me. None of us knew
any link in the chain. Excepter one next to him.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
And the Senator must have kept some sort of records.
I wouldn't know. But did the paper say something about
as having a secretarium.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Yes, her name is Marion Crane, but you don't think
she can shed any light on the subject.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I never can tell. And see, oh, we know she
may be the original lady with the lamp.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Let's hope she can show us the way. And now
here's the news we promised you bake news from Craft.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
An. Hour has passed since Lindsay gave Mike Wearing the
lead to Marion Crane's center, to Blake's secretary.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
And now as we find that little lady, she's obviously
got her hands full.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Windy three less is too right?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
What do you know works? That's not nice? Angel?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Who are you name?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Is Wearing? Miss Crane, don't you believe in Knaki?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Well, I didn't want to disturb you. I thought you
might be busy. Looks like I showed good judgment here,
doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
What do you mean when I'll leave it to you?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
And he's, oh, now, what secretary would want to be
heckled while she's opening her boss's.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Say, it was just getting some of my things, and
it's off.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Is nice of the senator to let you keep all
those bonds in there?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
And look me to Wearing? What business is this of yours?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I'm a private detective, miss Crane. I'm working for the
late Edward.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Herald, the Laate.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
You mean Herald did.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
And you did know him? Huh?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Well, of course he was a personal front of the senators.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
And perhaps wouldn't mind answering one of my questions such.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
As who is Jean Colbert?
Speaker 3 (14:39):
What do you know about Colbert?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I thought I was gonna ask the questions what do
you know about Colbert?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
A nother thing? If I did, I wouldn't have to
ask you who he was?
Speaker 3 (14:47):
And why do you wanna find him?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Because I've got evidence he's responsible for Herald's death?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Look Wearing, I'm gonna give you a piece of advice.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
MM.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I don't know why I'm being so nice to you.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Or maybe it's because I appeal to your maternal instinct.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Yes, maybe, but I wouldn't mess in things that don't
concern me.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Well, that's very good coming from you, especially after I
find you messing in Senator Blake's.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Safe get out. Okay, miss Crane, don't think it hasn't
been nine.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I know because it happens.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Oh that's where you're wrong, Angel fact.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I was so delighted. I'm gonna tell all my friends
about you, especially those are the police force.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Yeah, you do that, m m m.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
M m.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Yeah, Hello, is that you will be?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Who's Mary?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
What's up? Mariam? You better get a wire out.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
The number one private detective named Mike Waring.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Just looked in on me the Falcon.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
That sounds interesting that he had evidence against Joan Colbert.
I think he's asking for trouble. Okay, Marian. If that's
what mister Warring wants, it should be easy enough to
applige him. I'll be glad to do my part. Hi
you Pappy, huh.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I'm glad to see you made yourself at home. I
didn't think you'd mind wearing shut the door, listen, messed it?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
At it in your mouth too.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
While you're at it, I'd be a good boy and
sit right down on that sofa where I can watch
you right there.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
That's close enough.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
That the gun that killed her own. How would you
like to find out first time?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I don't bother. What's your name? Friend, I've got several wearing.
You can call me anything you like. You know you're
leaving yourself wide open. Look who's talking? Listen? Wearing it?
Who's there? You have no idea? Get rid of them? Okay?
Remember if you crack out a turn, I'm right behind you. Hello,
(16:48):
wring't con come in? Well, I'm awfully busy. I just
wanted to hear how you made out with Blake secretary.
I'll call you in the morning, Lindsay.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Wait a minute, your name, lindsay, yes, come on in.
But wearing said to wear just changed his mind. Hey,
he's got a gun, that's what changed it. I've been
meaning to look in on you, friend. I'm glad you
spared me the trip.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Say what's going on here? Don't you get it? Lindsay,
So you don't know? I never will? Why you know
a lot?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Let me.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Oh, let's me let him lay worrying. I want to
finish that little talk we started. What do you want?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
You've been asking an awful lot of questions about a
party named John Colbert.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
So I don't like it. Well, that's tough. Give me
twenty four hours.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I don't know who he is. If you've got some
sort of evidence, maybe letters, perhaps I want him wearing.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I can't blame you for that. Look do you turn
him over like a nice boy? Do you have to
be coaching? Look them? What about those letters? Wearing?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I haven't got him, And I hope you got plenty
of endurance, because brother, you're going to need it. Oh,
he's gonna lay there all like Mike. You're gonna tell
me what happened? Oh look I told you all I could, Sergeant,
next thing I knew you?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
And how was a point? Scott's dummer?
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Where is he?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I sent him on an errand he's Lindsay alright, Yeah,
the dock had to take a couple of stitches and
a scalp. But after that he was able to leave
any idea who tough boy was?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
No, I don't think he's local.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
He might be surprised was a short, stocky about five seven,
blonde hair and very white skin.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Yeah that's the boy, I thought. So you know him
COVID fairly well.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
His name is Joe Darling Darling alias Joe Denton alias
Jerry Davis. So I continue on.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Of him and I get the idea.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
What gets me is why Darling didn't stick around to
finish the job, my job. We got the impression he
was going to kill Lindsay. Oh, then mister Lindsey can
thank me for saving his life. I was on my
way up to see you, and I had him ring
here from downstairs. When Darling heard me coming, he must
have beat it out the back way. Now, let's get
back to those letters from Colbert. Darling got him?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Huh, they were in my pocket all along. I was
a sucking out to give him to him.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
When he first asked why there was nothing in those
letters that was the least that incriminating.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Didn't tell us a thing about Jean Colbert.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
You must be wrong, Mike. Darling didn't do that job.
I knew for nothing.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Say wait a minute, sergeant, I'm gonna hunt you.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
That might be for me. Hell, he asked, this is
Sergeant Corbett. When Harris, You sure, okay, you know what
to do? Now what are you saying, Mike?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I think I know who Jean Colbert.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Is, Oh, Darling? Yeah, nuts, Listen, sergeant, it makes sense.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
I tell you this. Joe Doling and Jean Colbert are
wanted the same.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
There's only one thing wrong with that theory, Mike, and
you'll have to show it to me. You Okay, come
down to the Morgue. What fo That was Harris who
just phoned in and he found Dowling's about eight twenty
minutes ago.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Now you're satisfied, don't forget.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Tomorrow will be your first chance to try marvelous new
Craft salad oil.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I'm saying now at your groceries, use this.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
New super fine, lighter bodied oil for those wonderful homemade
salad dressings that no one can make quite like you.
Use it in those wonderful chiffon cakes you take such
pride in.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Use it in all your cooking or baking recipes that
call for liquid shortening. Get Craft salad oil in either
the pint.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Or quart bottle tomorrow at your grocer's look for the
bottle with the beautiful label. Now back to the adventures
of the Falcon ten minutes to pass since Mike advanced
his theory that Joe Dowling and Jean Colbert were one
(20:38):
and the same and had it.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Promptly explode in his face.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
And so great is the Falcon's disappointment that even hard
hearted Sergeant Corbett is touched. I my snap out of it, Mike.
We all make mistakes. You just appuse the privilege. I
don't suppose there's any doubt that the body Harris found
is really Doling and whatsoever. Dowling was just taking orders
from Colbert like Lindsay, Horal and Blake. Did they find
(21:01):
Colbert's letters on Darlings body? Now, then I was wrong, Corbett.
Nice you to admit it. No, I mean when I
said that the letters were unimportant, Colbert had to have
him back. Now, why don't ask me. I never saw.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Them, and they certainly looked innocent enough to me.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Our bave sacred writing. There was no need for that
if you knew what Colbert was getting at. The meaning
was obvious. There were three of them, they were all identical.
All they said was dal Lindsey, you enclosed. Please find
twenty five thousand dollars for Herald's account will you see
that he gets it? And they were signed John Colbert.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Wait a minute, hold everything.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
And don't tell me you've got another brain storm.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yeah. Look, suppose I told you that John Colbert was
a woman.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
You better lay down mine. I'll listen to me, Sergeant.
Nobody's ever seen Colbert. The only trace we had was
those letters. So so that's why Colbert had to have
him back, because sooner or later somebody was bound to
realize the fallacy.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Look, how do you spell the French name Jean jay he?
And how do you pronounce that in English?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Jeane? Hey?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Why you see what I mean? It can be a
girl's name too.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
But where is there a woman in this case?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
How about Senator Blake, Secretary Marion Crane.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yes, though I've never been known to pass up a
pretty gal, this one you can take.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Let me understand you, gentlemen, you think that I am
Jean Colbert.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
No, not Jean Colbert, Miss Crane, Jeane Colbert.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
No, it's very funny missing.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I'm glad you find it amusic.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Oh I do, Sergeant. You're basing your entire case on that.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
No, no, no, there were several other things that gave
you away, such as finding you the Senator's safe anything else.
But once I realized that Jean was a woman's name
and all added up, you want to work for Senator
Blake just to keep tabs on him.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Why did I hire Linday and Herrell?
Speaker 2 (22:56):
I guess you didn't want any trail leading back to you.
Then when you heard the an investigation the foot to
look into premium.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Oil, you thought it time to dissolve your organization.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
So I hired Darling, and then when he did his job,
I got rid of it.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Yes, exactly, do you know, miss Wearing?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
This only goes to prove that there is something in
woman's intuition. I had a feeling you were going to
be an awful nuisance.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Well I'm glad to say you were right. Okay, Marion,
whenever you're ready?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Ready? Yeah, I think Sagean Korba is willing to call
us the night. So suppose we start the headquarter.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Oh no, no, I'm saying right.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Here, I'm good five bucks to say you're wrong.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Well, put it up and we'll leave it to the sergeant.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I'll watch it. Corbett, don't ever get to that person.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
I only wanted to get my wallet and show him.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
This only cow.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Well, what is it?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
You're your theories? Give her the fiver?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Have you ever seen a card like this before? What? Well?
I have? And it says that the bearer, Miss Marion
Crane as an agent of the Department of Justice.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Boy, did that make sense?
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Wearing you say Senator Blake's secretary was a federal agent?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Yes, she was a plant, lindsay? And well, couldn't she
have forged those credentials?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
No, Sergeant Corbett has already checked Washington. She's been with
him since forty five.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Well, where do we go from here? Well, was Sergeant
and I've been talking it over him. We've come to
one conclusion. What we're never going to find Colbert wol
You can't give up? Now? What else can we do?
Colbert'll never be found for one.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Simple reason why he doesn't exist. What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (24:32):
He's a little man who wasn't there. I don't follow you, Mike.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
He's just a figment of the imagination. Who's yours, Lindsy?
Speaker 1 (24:40):
What? Yes? You? Or the boy who dreamed him up?
He gave him live, breadth and dimension.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
And what a pity you can't arrange to have him
take those ten thousand votes instead of you.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I'm sorry if I was rough on you, Mike.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Oh, that's all right, Marian. But uh us we talk
about that man.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Yes, yes we must.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
You know our office was working on this case for
months and you could have ruined everything.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Well, you don't have to rub it in.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
How did you realize Lindsay was our boy?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Well, when I found out you were a government agent,
suddenly occurred to me what a beautiful swindle Lindsay was
in a position to work.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
All we had was his word and several letters that
there was actually such a person's colder. Lindsay pretended to
be dug another carg in the wheel.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
You're by pretending to follow orders like the rest, he
could mask he was an innocent tool like realm.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
He did.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Dowling knew who he was. Yes, he was the only one.
That's why Lindsay had to kill him.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
So why did Dowling slug him in your apartment?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Well that was a cheap enough price for Lindsay to
pay to convince me he was on the.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Up and nough.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
But uh, you'd be surprised. But put me on the
right track, Huy. I mentioned to you that I.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Had evidence, pointing to Colbert, Well, if you didn't send
Dowling around to pick it up, the only other party
who could have done it was Lindsay.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
He was the only other one on you about the.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Letters, then actually they were valuable.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
O sure, Lindsay just to cover himself.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Does that take care of everything?
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I'll not quite. There's still one thing about this case
that bothers me.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
But you do I really bother you that much?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Michael, Oh, you have no idea?
Speaker 3 (26:15):
What's there about me to disturb you so?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Well? There's your face and figure and most of all, yes,
that five bucks you want for me, and that's that
that I'll never get over it.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Folks, here's a suggestion for all of you who like
and want good candy.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Keep Craft caramels on hand.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Wherever you are at home, for all the family to enjoy,
at work, to pass around among friends, and even in
the pocket of your car to enjoy a delightful candy
bite while driving. Follow this suggestion, and whenever you get
a yen for good candy, pop a yummy, chewy soft
Craft caramel into your mouth.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Or whenever you feel time, eat.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
A Kraft caramel. This fine candy gives you real energy
in a hurry. There's plenty of nourishing milk in Craft
Dairy Fresh caramels besides.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
The other fine pure ingredient, so they're good for you.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Ask for Craft caramels in the big fifty bag at
your grocery store and get the six piece bar for
a nickel at your candy country. Either way you can't
miss a real taste treat Craft caramel.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
The case of the Big Talker.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
The Case of the Big Talker, that's the type of
next week's adventure of the Falcon, when Mike Wearing learns
that to protect yourself from a loudmouth sometimes you have.

To use a silencer. So we should have.
Speaker 2 (27:48):

H Hello, Yes, this is the Falcon speaking. Oh Linda,
I'm glad you call and you'll have to cancel me
out tonight in June. I've got to take a toy
away from the baby. Someone just bought this baby a gun.
Unless I stop her, she figures to get quite a
(00:21):
bang out of it.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
This is the Herly Hey, friends in fighting you on
behalf of the Craft Boots Company to listen to the
Adventures of the Falcon, starring Least Taman. You met the
Falcon first in his best selling novels, and you saw
him in his Throwing Motion Victure series. Now join him

Speaker 1 (00:44):
The case of the missing.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Miss In just a moment, you'll hear the latest adventure
of the Falcon. But first, here's important news for you
from the makers of Craft Holiday Foods. Today, on this program,
we're making the first nationwide radio announcement of a wonderful
(01:06):
new product brought to you by Craft, Yes, a brand
new member of the Craft family of fine foods. At
this point, we're not even going to tell you what
the new product is. We're saving that for our next announcement.
But be sure to keep tune to this program. Listen
for the big news from Craft in just a few minutes,
(01:30):
and now the case of the Missing miss.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
It is late Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
A short, heavyset boy in a dirty trench coat makes
his way to the twelfth floor suite of Senator Arthur Blake.
When it comes to the door, he feels at his
left shoulder, where the outline of a holster can be seen.
Then obviously a mere sure, and he hasn't forgotten the
tools of his trade.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
He knocks on the senator's door. Yes, the second, Yes,
Senator Blake.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Well, I'm afraid he's busy at the moment. Can I
help you on? Marion Crane?
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Secretary nice? Where is he?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Then?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Just a moment, mister Darling, I don't remember making apartment
to you.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I don't not to worry, Miss Crane. I make my
own married.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Would you be good enough to I'm sorry, my dear,
I didn't realize we had a visitor.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Hello, Senator, how do you do so?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I hate to break in and you like this, but
it can't be helped. My name is Doling Dowling.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Are you no? I'm not one of your constituents. I'm
with the FBI.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
FBI.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
That's right, honey. Well, what can I do for you?
Mister Darling? You can get your things and come along
with me. I'm afraid I don't understand, sir.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
You don't, Senator, if I have an outseet called premium oil.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Premium oil, No, I don't believe I have.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
How about a party named Jean Colbert. No, it's very strange, Senator,
because our investigation shows you helped Colbert sell over eight
million dollars worth of petroleum products to the Navy during
the war.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
My good man is selling oil to the navy a
violation of the law.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
It is when Colbert and its phony company never delivered
even a jar of vasoline for all that though, or
there must be some mistake could be Suppose you take
that up with my chief. I'll be glad to mister
Darling if you'll excuse me for a moment.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Wait a minute's senter, Then where are you going? Just
to get my briefcase? I left it in the bedroom.
I assure you I have no intention of escaping.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Okay, mister Darling. Yeah, are you from the Washington Bureau
or the local office?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
What difference is? Did you hear something? Then?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yes, came in the bedroom.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
They're a fire escape in there. Can if not window
play where you are, mister Darling, If you take one
more stat I'll listen.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Blake, quit bluffing and climb down off that window.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Ledge, So you think I'm bluffing? Hoorol.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Hello, Lindsay, you know you're not supposed to come to
my apartment unless I have something for you.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Well, I got something for you, Lindsey.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Senator Blake just committed suicide. What are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Haven't you seen the afternoon papers?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
No, we'll take a look.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Senator Arthur Blake commits suicide. Head of Contract Negotiation Committee
dies in two a story leap.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So what what don't you get at, Lindsay? This is
all tied up with premium oil?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Is that what it says?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Oh? But that's the way it figures.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Senator Blake was my contact.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Senator Yeah, I related all the instructions that got from
you to him. While you're out of your mind. Hoorral.
There's nothing wrong with premium oil. Sure there is.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
I've been convinced of that for a year.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Well then why didn't you talk up before?
Speaker 5 (04:45):
I don't know, maybe the money was too good, or maybe.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I was a friend.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
You're wrong, Horror, I don't be a chomp. If Premium
Oil was on the up and up, why would they.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Go for all this hocus pocus? What hocus pocus?
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Why nobody in this setup knows anyone else but the
party gets his instructions from.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Well, I guess that just prevents leaks.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
You don't believe that anymore than I do. I listen, Lindsay,
we gotta compare notes. Who's the guy you get your
instructions from?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I can't tell you. I don't be a saf friend.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
We're playing with dynamite.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Who's your contact, John Colbert?
Speaker 5 (05:16):
You gotta get in touch with him?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I can't. You got to. But you don't understand, Hurral.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
I've never seen this Colbert. Whenever he's got any message
for me.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
He writes, Well, then he must be the head man
in his racket.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Now, don't call it that.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Why you got a better name. We gotta face at, Lindsay.
They've just been using us for tools.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
There's nothing we can do about it.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Yes, there is too. I'm gonna get a private detective.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I think you're making a mistake, Hurral.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Now I should have done it a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
You with me. No, I I'm going to sit quiet
for a while.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
You better change your mind, Lindsay.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
There's plenty of time for that when you're dead. Yeah,
I'd like to talk to Michael Warren. Please you are now, oh,
mister Warren. My name is Edward Morrell herel Yeah. I
(06:14):
hate to bothery on Sunday, but I need help fast.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I'm gonna suggest to try someone else. Someone else, Sure,
and I said, is as big as New York. There
must be at least two private detectives.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
You don't understand, Warren. Uh, did you read about Senator
Blake's suicide? What about it? I'm the boy who paid
him off. What are you yapping about? Another fellow named Kenneth.
Lindsay and myself were employed by Premium More you see,
but we didn't know what kind of a racket it was.
As a matter of fact, Lindsay still isn't convinced. How
come you are well, I've been doing a little checking
(06:45):
on my own.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Well, if you've got any information Herali, you should turn
it over to the proper authorities.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Where do you live? I'm at the Kimberley Apartment four A.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
You there now, Yeah, I don't do any more talking
on the phone.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
You're why it may be tapped. I'll be there in
half an hour.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
That you were yeah, okay, come in.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Thanks. I didn't expect you for another twenty minutes. Let
me take your m's matter around. You're not worring, ain't I?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
No?
Speaker 5 (07:24):
I've seen pictures of him and he's at least six
inches taller than you are.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Maybe it just seems like that.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
Yeah, how do you account for his hair being black
while yours is blonde?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Don't you think it goes better with my complexion? Listen?
Messed up? What's your game? You don't have to worry around?
And from the FBI?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, you don't seem convinced.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
What's your name, darling? Did Wearing send you here? Yep?
Quitch Wearing? And why aren't you the suspicious one? You're
done right? I am, especially since I've been listening to
the radio. What do you mean? Well, according to what
I just heard, before Senator Blake committed suicide, an FBI
agent drop around to see him. So after Blake jumped.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
This character told blake secretary to stay where she was
and he go get the police. Yes, he never come back.
My cops think he was a phony, and you think
that was me. Let me meets your description.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
If you said boy in a kack a trench coat.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Well, I guess there's only one way I can prove
it to you. You want to see my credentials.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
That might be a good idea.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Okay, real now, what did this look like?
Speaker 5 (08:25):
What's the idea of the gun?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You asked to see it? Then?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I was right, Yeah, but I don't think it'll do
you much good.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
You kill Senator Blake? No, he was obliging enough to
save me the trouble.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
You see my department, j your department, yeah, the department
of dead ends.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I'm what you might call the clean up man, a
premium oil.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
You're not fool of me.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
You're Jehan Colbert. Oh, John Colbert. I don't seem to
recall that name.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
How about Kenneth Lindsay?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Glad you reminded me. I got to see him next
to Suppose we get.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
This overwhell Kate Camber talked us over.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I don't think so well, puppet check, what can you lose?
You wouldn't be trying to store me, would you? Herald?
Why should I ams to me? You mentioned something about
a fellow named Wearing being doue here. Oh oh, well
I was wrong. You said it around. You were wrong,
dead wrong, not Dollard luck.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I'll give you.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
You've give me what too bad? Yes, I'll never know.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yes, sir Kenneth Lindsay, that's right, Edward Herald gave me
your name.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Oh well, come in. I guess there is such a
thing as luck. I thank your pardon.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
There are eight Kenneth Lindsay's in the phone book. The
first time I get the right one.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Now, look mister, oh yes, I'm sorry. My name is
Mike Wearing. I'm working for Herald. Then he did hire
a detective.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah, oh, sit down, thanks? Uh think as I could
stand one after seeing herrel?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Why didn't you uh bring him along? Cops thought he'd
be much more comfortable than Morgue. I think you drop something, Lindsay.
Is this your idea of a joke Wearing about heral hardly?
He was murdered an hour ago? Who did it? Don't
you know? If Horel told you I knew anything about
John Colbert? John Colbert, who's here? Didn't Horrell mention him? No,
(10:29):
he only gave me your name. That's why I said,
I was lucky to find you. Suppose I've said now
you've got the wrong one. Well, it'd be a little
late now.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I spotted you for the right one the second I
looked into this room. How you've got five afternoon papers
here and they're all turned to the account of Senator
Blake's death.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I'm pretty smart, aren't you. No, not nearly enough. That's
why I need your help.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Well, I can't tell you a thing, and even if
I could, I wouldn't pick you for a confidant.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Or don't be a fool, lindsay. I told Horel to
keep his mouth shut. That didn't make any difference. Use
your head. Blake is dead and so is herrel you
think you've got. There may be something in what you say.
Of course there is. Coral got his orders from you,
didn't they? Yes, and you got them from this Jean Colburn,
that's right. Who is he? I don't know. I never
(11:12):
saw the man. I only heard from him through the mail.
If you got any of his letters here?
Speaker 4 (11:16):
And oh, yes, but I don't think they'll do you
any good.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
They're all typewritten. Now I have them. Yeah, sure, right now,
I want to get.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
One thing straight after you gave Herrella his instructions, he
forwarded them to Senator Blake.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Right, That's what Coral told me. None of us knew
any link in the chain. Excepter one next to him.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
And the Senator must have kept some sort of records.
I wouldn't know. But did the paper say something about
as having a secretarium.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Yes, her name is Marion Crane, but you don't think
she can shed any light on the subject.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I never can tell. And see, oh, we know she
may be the original lady with the lamp.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Let's hope she can show us the way. And now

(13:32):
Now back to the Adventures of the falcon.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
An. Hour has passed since Lindsay gave Mike Wearing the
lead to Marion Crane's center, to Blake's secretary.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
And now as we find that little lady, she's obviously
got her hands full.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Windy three less is too right?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
What do you know works? That's not nice? Angel?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Who are you name?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Is Wearing? Miss Crane, don't you believe in Knaki?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Well, I didn't want to disturb you. I thought you
might be busy. Looks like I showed good judgment here,
doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
What do you mean when I'll leave it to you?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
And he's, oh, now, what secretary would want to be
heckled while she's opening her boss's.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Say, it was just getting some of my things, and
it's off.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Is nice of the senator to let you keep all
those bonds in there?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
And look me to Wearing? What business is this of yours?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I'm a private detective, miss Crane. I'm working for the
late Edward.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Herald, the Laate.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
You mean Herald did.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
And you did know him? Huh?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Well, of course he was a personal front of the senators.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
And perhaps wouldn't mind answering one of my questions such.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
As who is Jean Colbert?
Speaker 3 (14:39):
What do you know about Colbert?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I thought I was gonna ask the questions what do
you know about Colbert?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
A nother thing? If I did, I wouldn't have to
ask you who he was?
Speaker 3 (14:47):
And why do you wanna find him?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Because I've got evidence he's responsible for Herald's death?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Look Wearing, I'm gonna give you a piece of advice.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
MM.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I don't know why I'm being so nice to you.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Or maybe it's because I appeal to your maternal instinct.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Yes, maybe, but I wouldn't mess in things that don't
concern me.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Well, that's very good coming from you, especially after I
find you messing in Senator Blake's.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Safe get out. Okay, miss Crane, don't think it hasn't
been nine.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I know because it happens.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Oh that's where you're wrong, Angel fact.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I was so delighted. I'm gonna tell all my friends
about you, especially those are the police force.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Yeah, you do that, m m m.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
M m.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Yeah, Hello, is that you will be?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Who's Mary?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
What's up? Mariam? You better get a wire out.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
The number one private detective named Mike Waring.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Just looked in on me the Falcon.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
That sounds interesting that he had evidence against Joan Colbert.
I think he's asking for trouble. Okay, Marian. If that's
what mister Warring wants, it should be easy enough to
applige him. I'll be glad to do my part. Hi
you Pappy, huh.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I'm glad to see you made yourself at home. I
didn't think you'd mind wearing shut the door, listen, messed it?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
At it in your mouth too.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
While you're at it, I'd be a good boy and
sit right down on that sofa where I can watch
you right there.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
That's close enough.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
That the gun that killed her own. How would you
like to find out first time?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I don't bother. What's your name? Friend, I've got several wearing.
You can call me anything you like. You know you're
leaving yourself wide open. Look who's talking? Listen? Wearing it?
Who's there? You have no idea? Get rid of them? Okay?
Remember if you crack out a turn, I'm right behind you. Hello,
(16:48):
wring't con come in? Well, I'm awfully busy. I just
wanted to hear how you made out with Blake secretary.
I'll call you in the morning, Lindsay.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Wait a minute, your name, lindsay, yes, come on in.
But wearing said to wear just changed his mind. Hey,
he's got a gun, that's what changed it. I've been
meaning to look in on you, friend. I'm glad you
spared me the trip.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Say what's going on here? Don't you get it? Lindsay,
So you don't know? I never will? Why you know
a lot?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Let me.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Oh, let's me let him lay worrying. I want to
finish that little talk we started. What do you want?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
You've been asking an awful lot of questions about a
party named John Colbert.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
So I don't like it. Well, that's tough. Give me
twenty four hours.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I don't know who he is. If you've got some
sort of evidence, maybe letters, perhaps I want him wearing.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I can't blame you for that. Look do you turn
him over like a nice boy? Do you have to
be coaching? Look them? What about those letters? Wearing?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I haven't got him, And I hope you got plenty
of endurance, because brother, you're going to need it. Oh,
he's gonna lay there all like Mike. You're gonna tell
me what happened? Oh look I told you all I could, Sergeant,
next thing I knew you?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
And how was a point? Scott's dummer?
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Where is he?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I sent him on an errand he's Lindsay alright, Yeah,
the dock had to take a couple of stitches and
a scalp. But after that he was able to leave
any idea who tough boy was?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
No, I don't think he's local.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
He might be surprised was a short, stocky about five seven,
blonde hair and very white skin.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Yeah that's the boy, I thought. So you know him
COVID fairly well.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
His name is Joe Darling Darling alias Joe Denton alias
Jerry Davis. So I continue on.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Of him and I get the idea.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
What gets me is why Darling didn't stick around to
finish the job, my job. We got the impression he
was going to kill Lindsay. Oh, then mister Lindsey can
thank me for saving his life. I was on my
way up to see you, and I had him ring
here from downstairs. When Darling heard me coming, he must
have beat it out the back way. Now, let's get
back to those letters from Colbert. Darling got him?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Huh, they were in my pocket all along. I was
a sucking out to give him to him.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
When he first asked why there was nothing in those
letters that was the least that incriminating.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Didn't tell us a thing about Jean Colbert.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
You must be wrong, Mike. Darling didn't do that job.
I knew for nothing.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Say wait a minute, sergeant, I'm gonna hunt you.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
That might be for me. Hell, he asked, this is
Sergeant Corbett. When Harris, You sure, okay, you know what
to do? Now what are you saying, Mike?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I think I know who Jean Colbert.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Is, Oh, Darling? Yeah, nuts, Listen, sergeant, it makes sense.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
I tell you this. Joe Doling and Jean Colbert are
wanted the same.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
There's only one thing wrong with that theory, Mike, and
you'll have to show it to me. You Okay, come
down to the Morgue. What fo That was Harris who
just phoned in and he found Dowling's about eight twenty
minutes ago.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Now you're satisfied, don't forget.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Tomorrow will be your first chance to try marvelous new
Craft salad oil.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I'm saying now at your groceries, use this.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
New super fine, lighter bodied oil for those wonderful homemade
salad dressings that no one can make quite like you.
Use it in those wonderful chiffon cakes you take such
pride in.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Use it in all your cooking or baking recipes that
call for liquid shortening. Get Craft salad oil in either
the pint.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Or quart bottle tomorrow at your grocer's look for the
bottle with the beautiful label. Now back to the adventures
of the Falcon ten minutes to pass since Mike advanced
his theory that Joe Dowling and Jean Colbert were one
(20:38):
and the same and had it.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Promptly explode in his face.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
And so great is the Falcon's disappointment that even hard
hearted Sergeant Corbett is touched. I my snap out of it, Mike.
We all make mistakes. You just appuse the privilege. I
don't suppose there's any doubt that the body Harris found
is really Doling and whatsoever. Dowling was just taking orders
from Colbert like Lindsay, Horal and Blake. Did they find
(21:01):
Colbert's letters on Darlings body? Now, then I was wrong, Corbett.
Nice you to admit it. No, I mean when I
said that the letters were unimportant, Colbert had to have
him back. Now, why don't ask me. I never saw.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Them, and they certainly looked innocent enough to me.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Our bave sacred writing. There was no need for that
if you knew what Colbert was getting at. The meaning
was obvious. There were three of them, they were all identical.
All they said was dal Lindsey, you enclosed. Please find
twenty five thousand dollars for Herald's account will you see
that he gets it? And they were signed John Colbert.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Wait a minute, hold everything.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
And don't tell me you've got another brain storm.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yeah. Look, suppose I told you that John Colbert was
a woman.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
You better lay down mine. I'll listen to me, Sergeant.
Nobody's ever seen Colbert. The only trace we had was
those letters. So so that's why Colbert had to have
him back, because sooner or later somebody was bound to
realize the fallacy.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Look, how do you spell the French name Jean jay he?
And how do you pronounce that in English?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Jeane? Hey?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Why you see what I mean? It can be a
girl's name too.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
But where is there a woman in this case?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
How about Senator Blake, Secretary Marion Crane.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yes, though I've never been known to pass up a
pretty gal, this one you can take.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Let me understand you, gentlemen, you think that I am
Jean Colbert.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
No, not Jean Colbert, Miss Crane, Jeane Colbert.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
No, it's very funny missing.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I'm glad you find it amusic.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Oh I do, Sergeant. You're basing your entire case on that.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
No, no, no, there were several other things that gave
you away, such as finding you the Senator's safe anything else.
But once I realized that Jean was a woman's name
and all added up, you want to work for Senator
Blake just to keep tabs on him.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Why did I hire Linday and Herrell?
Speaker 2 (22:56):
I guess you didn't want any trail leading back to you.
Then when you heard the an investigation the foot to
look into premium.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Oil, you thought it time to dissolve your organization.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
So I hired Darling, and then when he did his job,
I got rid of it.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Yes, exactly, do you know, miss Wearing?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
This only goes to prove that there is something in
woman's intuition. I had a feeling you were going to
be an awful nuisance.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Well I'm glad to say you were right. Okay, Marion,
whenever you're ready?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Ready? Yeah, I think Sagean Korba is willing to call
us the night. So suppose we start the headquarter.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Oh no, no, I'm saying right.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Here, I'm good five bucks to say you're wrong.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Well, put it up and we'll leave it to the sergeant.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I'll watch it. Corbett, don't ever get to that person.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
I only wanted to get my wallet and show him.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
This only cow.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Well, what is it?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
You're your theories? Give her the fiver?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Have you ever seen a card like this before? What? Well?
I have? And it says that the bearer, Miss Marion
Crane as an agent of the Department of Justice.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Boy, did that make sense?
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Wearing you say Senator Blake's secretary was a federal agent?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Yes, she was a plant, lindsay? And well, couldn't she
have forged those credentials?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
No, Sergeant Corbett has already checked Washington. She's been with
him since forty five.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Well, where do we go from here? Well, was Sergeant
and I've been talking it over him. We've come to
one conclusion. What we're never going to find Colbert wol
You can't give up? Now? What else can we do?
Colbert'll never be found for one.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Simple reason why he doesn't exist. What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (24:32):
He's a little man who wasn't there. I don't follow you, Mike.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
He's just a figment of the imagination. Who's yours, Lindsy?
Speaker 1 (24:40):
What? Yes? You? Or the boy who dreamed him up?
He gave him live, breadth and dimension.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
And what a pity you can't arrange to have him
take those ten thousand votes instead of you.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I'm sorry if I was rough on you, Mike.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Oh, that's all right, Marian. But uh us we talk
about that man.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Yes, yes we must.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
You know our office was working on this case for
months and you could have ruined everything.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Well, you don't have to rub it in.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
How did you realize Lindsay was our boy?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Well, when I found out you were a government agent,
suddenly occurred to me what a beautiful swindle Lindsay was
in a position to work.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
All we had was his word and several letters that
there was actually such a person's colder. Lindsay pretended to
be dug another carg in the wheel.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
You're by pretending to follow orders like the rest, he
could mask he was an innocent tool like realm.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
He did.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Dowling knew who he was. Yes, he was the only one.
That's why Lindsay had to kill him.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
So why did Dowling slug him in your apartment?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Well that was a cheap enough price for Lindsay to
pay to convince me he was on the.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Up and nough.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
But uh, you'd be surprised. But put me on the
right track, Huy. I mentioned to you that I.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Had evidence, pointing to Colbert, Well, if you didn't send
Dowling around to pick it up, the only other party
who could have done it was Lindsay.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
He was the only other one on you about the.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Letters, then actually they were valuable.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
O sure, Lindsay just to cover himself.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Does that take care of everything?
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I'll not quite. There's still one thing about this case
that bothers me.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
But you do I really bother you that much?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Michael, Oh, you have no idea?
Speaker 3 (26:15):
What's there about me to disturb you so?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Well? There's your face and figure and most of all, yes,
that five bucks you want for me, and that's that
that I'll never get over it.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Folks, here's a suggestion for all of you who like
and want good candy.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Keep Craft caramels on hand.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Wherever you are at home, for all the family to enjoy,
at work, to pass around among friends, and even in
the pocket of your car to enjoy a delightful candy
bite while driving. Follow this suggestion, and whenever you get
a yen for good candy, pop a yummy, chewy soft
Craft caramel into your mouth.

Dairy Fresh caramels besides.
