Speaker 1 (00:18):
The Adventures of the Saint, starring Vincent Price. The Saint,
based on characters created by Leslie Travers and known to
millions from books, magazines, and motion pictures, The robin Hood
(00:40):
of modern crime now comes transcribed to radio, starring Hollywood's
brilliant and talented actor Vincent Price as the Saint, coming coming,
Good morning, Templar, Get you out of bed. Well, i'm
you young fellows. Stay out too late, get up too late.
(01:00):
No exercise flabby, every one of you hear.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
It's only that my rowing machine sprang a leak a
little while back. Rationalization, Well, they're rationing everything these days.
Come in, mister, you know me, Templar.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Barnard Buzz Barnart. I used to see you with the
fathouse when you were at State. The grip, brother, what
oh yes, the grip? As if I could ever forget?
How does it go again? If you were trying to joke, Templar,
there are two things I never joke about the university
the fraternity.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Won't you sit down, mister Barner buzz Buzz, you played football,
didn't you football?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I was before your time, Templar. But my old jersey
still hangs in the frat house one I wore when
I scored the touchdown against Michigan All America in nineteen
twenty six. And in nineteen twenty six, football was football.
Remember that football was football. I got it. Templar, You've
made quite a reputation as the saint. That's why I've
come to you. There's a force of evil loose on
(01:55):
the campus of Aralmamater, Templar, A force of evil. Read this.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I know all about you and Angie. Let me tell
you what will happen if you keep on seeing it first,
you will be sir. This was written by a very
sick mind, mister Barnard.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Obviously the poison pen note. And I have reason to
believe that every man showing interest in Angela has received one.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Oh who is Angela?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
My daughter? I am the senior at the university, young
and very beautiful.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Oh, I'm sure of it, but I don't quite see,
mister Barnard that is buzz that there's anything that I
can Templar.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
The young student will receive this note. Jim Fuller disregarded it.
Last night he was seized from behind and choked unconscious.
If his assailant hadn't been frightened off while other students approaching.
I firmly believe Fuller would have been killed.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
And then it's a matter for the police.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
The police, Templar. The police that alone, not being statemen,
are not even university men. You see how impossible it is.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
But I still don't see how there is.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
No hire duty than the beauty. We all owe our
alma mater, though we may wander far. When she issues
a call, we must answer, Templar. Her reputation is threatened.
She needs you.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Buzz for university, for fraternity, the grip.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
The brother and it's all settled. I'll tell Dean Matthews
to expect you.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Oh, is Dean Matthew still there? He must be one
hundred and eighty years old by now.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Of course he no longer handles him in the street
of judies, but he insists on knowing everything that's going on.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
And I'll see him in the morning and arrange to
take some refresher courses.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Very intelligent, excite life, suspicion.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yeah, you might give me the names that the students
your daughter has been seeing.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Angela's a rule doesn't care too much for the company
of students, Templar. She prefers older man, Oh, how about fuller?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Fooler?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Is I believe more of a convenience than anything else?
College dances and so on. Angela, and I say this
without conceit. You understand, prefers someone cast more in the
image of her father, younger naturally, Well, can you give
me the names of any of these images? She has
been somewhat certain respector you might try Professor Hobson, the
young instructor in psychology around thirty five, quite handsome.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Angela must be a very attractive girl.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Angela is an attractive woman, as you will find out.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Is anything in particular meant by that, mister Burner?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Just caution, mister Templar. I know my daughter, and I'm
looking forward to it for our ma mater. Of course,
of course, of course, the grip, the grip. Good afternoon, Dean,
My name is come in, gentler.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
How is that?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I never forget a face, never understand you're coming back
with us again? Well in a way, yeah, good, finish
the job this time, my boy. Graduate, make up your
mind to it and you'll do it.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Dean, I think you have me confused.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Nonsense, nonsense, I remember you perfectly left here last semester,
didn't you.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
As a matter of fact, Dean, I graduated from this
fair tower of learning quite a number of well, a
fair number of years ago. The reason I'm here just
now is to audit a few courses, any courses, in
connection with an investigation I'm making for mister Barnard.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
But I understand all this, Oh good, I understand your
needs exactly fine. Angela Barnhart is a very interesting young woman.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
And now don't tell me you've received a note too.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
How's that, young man?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Nothing saying now about those courses, deem.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
My assistant will arrange things with the registrar. I know
exactly what you want of splendid and this semester, Templar,
make up your mind to buckle down to work. No
more cutting classes. A job worth doing is worth doing well, Dean.
Astituiti sticuitiveness and a constant image before you of your parents.
(05:49):
Proud smile when you bring home that diploma. You touched me.
Study hard, thing straight and resolved to be the kind
of a success which in later life will enable you
to contribute generously to the alumni.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Fu Professor Hobson, Yes, my name is Templar Simon Templar.
I'm auditing your psychology.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
One with one in mine, Templar.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
But do I impress you as a typical undergraduate type?
Uh no, No, I was afraid not. Then I'd better be, Frank.
I understand poison pen notes are circulating on the campus, Hobson,
and further that you yourself may have received one. Yes, well,
I've been asked by uh Buzz Barnhardt to find the
author of the notes.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I hope you can. I hope you can.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Can you contribute to anything further than just hope?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Temper? I? Uh, I suppose you know that I'm implicated
in this MM. It has been suggested yet I have
one of the notes. Have you seen them?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Here? Uh?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty much like the other I saw.
Have you uh heeded the warning to stay away from Angie?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Uh no? Or rather, Angie hasn't stayed away from me.
That sounds egotistical, But then you don't know Angie, or
do you? If I'm still looking forward to it, don't.
I still don't know how this thing got started, Templar.
Every young professor gets a certain amount of flattering attention
from the co eds, but this is different, vastly different.
Angie's a woman tremendously attractive and tremendously evil. You really
(07:25):
feel that, yes and no, no, No one that young
is evil. Will give them time. Angie is twisted badly
so her family, her father is oh. I can't even
be objective enough about the girl who analyzes what's wrong?
Have any ideas about the author of the note? No? No,
someone badly neurotic, perhaps dangerously neurotic. That's obvious, total lack
(07:48):
of adjustment to realities. Perhaps he's traits are apparent on
the surface. Perhaps not. It could be anyone you make.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
My chances of finding him over her appear rather gloomy.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Obsen Why not a neurotic?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
A psycho?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
In college ranks these days we turn them out on
an assembly line. I'm somewhat of an escapist, Templer. I
sought a professorial post as a refuge, a serene and
lofty observation point. Let others compete, struggle become ulso written
not for me, when.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
You could have chosen a better historical period, any historical period.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Have you any idea what goes on in a university today? Templar?
Just last June we graduated most of our veterans. We
got back to normals. Six months later. Nine out of
every ten men in college are one A. Now, try
instilling the old college spirit and these boys. Try getting
them to study their homework so their mothers will be
proud of them. Try getting them to conform to the
(08:40):
nice conservative moral standards which prevailed when you and I
went to college.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
All happily, I don't have to try. I only have
to catch someone who's been writing letters. Do you have
any ideas about anyone else who might have received one
of these valentines?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
You know about young Fuller? Yes, yes, well you can't
really count him any Now, try our esteemed football coach,
Buddy Ridcot.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
A football coach hasn't enough worries. He has to go
out and choose more. You don't choose Angie Templer, she
chooses you. Oh, I see well, and thanks for your help. Hops.
And then I'd be a little careful about walking around
alone after dark till this thing is cleared up.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
You might be in danger, unless, of course, I was
the author of these letters. There's always that possibility. Yes,
in any.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Case, I wish you was success in any case.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
In any case, Hm, the Ivory Tower has come crashing down.
This bruised and soiled occupant has no further distance to fall. Well,
see you went class, template?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Uh if I don't get hurt in football practice yet?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Oh? Yes, our mister ridco a character.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Builder, a character building h or a winning football coach.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
He combines the aggressiveness of a hungry.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Shark with the ethics of a professional stool pigeon, a
winning coach.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Wh Uh see you in class, professor.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Alright, break it up, boys, hit the showers.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I beg your pardon. My name is Tempa and mister
Rick co.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Oh an alumnus, well wants to complaint, mister Templar, No.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Complaint, cod, It's just little information.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Oh you wanna know why we dropped two games last fall, Well,
the ball was slippery and our quarterback was stupid.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Not that kind of information. I wanted some information about
Angela Barnhardt, Angela and you. As a matter of thank.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
You're pretty nosy, even for an alum. Come on in
the office, thank you. You haven't been writing me letters
on the subject of Angela.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Mm so you got one too, May I see it?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Sure? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Mmm, yeah, it's pretty nasty.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Oh I've gotten worse. You should see them when I.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Lose a football game. The man who wrote this might
be dangerous, Ricka, I can handle myself.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Yeah, you look crank. You can any versions to telling
me what there is between you and Angela? None except
that it's none of your business.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Mmm uh yeah her. Her father asked me to investigate
these letters.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Oh, oh, good old buzz I met Angie through him.
He's the kind you find on every campus if you're unlucky.
He's still back in nineteen twenty six when he was
a star. Nobody knows anything about football but him.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Least of all me. What about Angie?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
She's the kind you meet on the campus if you're lucky.
Aren't you a little old for her?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Rickoh?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
She likes it that way.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Couldn't this be trouble?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
It's worth it.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
All these notes were typewritten. You don't have a typewriter,
do you, coach?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Look, these letters were written by a nut I didn't
have time to go to class when I went to college.
But I'm smart enough to figure that. Am I nutty
enough to be doing it? Forty three coaches last year
had nervous breakdowns, a lot more acting strange. But the
man with the net hasn't gotten them yet. Am I
one of them? I'll put your money and take your choice.
Now beat it. I'm busy. You're a hard man, mister Rica.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah yeah, Oh.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Well there you are, Templar. I'd heard you from down
to the gym.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
How are you, mister Berner?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Buzz oh you've met our friend Rick go arms around
the neck, charms buzz God, good, Templar. Angela's waiting outside.
She wants to meet you.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I'm sure the desire is mutual, but uh, don't you
want to hear it?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
But tell me later. Right now, I'm going to stay
here and show rit go some plays Pop Warner used
in the single Wing, some real plays Rico, Oh sure,
buzz sure, Jim Dandy's the trouble with you, rickco is
that you don't understand the fundamentals of the What are
you waiting for? Templar?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
A break in the conversation, Run along, Templar, and I
wish you're luck.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
You'll need it and you too. Yes, I'm used to it, Angie,
you're not used to right buzz badly put but right
now here's an off tackle smash. Sorry, I can't stay
with you, happy people. Well, what was that you're gonna
tell me about Pompler as.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
You would be, Simon.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah, and uh you would be Angie. Yes, you very
definitely would be Angie. Heard a lot about you to
coin a Creache Ange.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
And now what do you think?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I don't know you well enough to tell you.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
I don't like to get acquainted. Come on and walk
me to class, Simon.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I hope it's a long walk in a short class.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
You're a very smooth Simon. Lots of practice, yes, yes,
you've had lots of practice.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Uh. Don't you think we'd better talk about?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Uh? The letters Angela who most.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
I don't consider them particularly important.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
They're ugly and they're stupid, and they're written.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
By a man.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
That's all I know.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Why are you so sure they're written by a man
because they're ugly and stupid?
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Yes, but not you, Simon, Not you Anjie and you
haven't looking for you?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Hello, Jim a Jim fuller of Simon.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Jim, Oh hire you Jim great?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
You work fastest, Tember.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Now, don't make a scene, jimmy scene.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
What do you expect when your factually push my face
down on the dirt and rub my nose in it?
Speaker 5 (14:05):
No, one's asking you to keep bringing your faith around.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Jimmy, Angie, away, Jimmy, go way.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
All right, Angie, I'll see you letter.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Maybe it wasn't that a little.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Cruel, Jimmy, good child, really a child you're pushing seventy?
Of course, don't talk down to me, Simon, And don't
try to erect any barriers by talking about my age.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
People only erect barriers who are frightening.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Psychology one experience too.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Meet me tonight at the stadium, Simon.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Oh, well, game tonight, no game, just as we.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Can climb the stairs to the press box and look
out over the whole campus. Not afraid of heights.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Simon, Just high heels, my dear.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
I'll see you around nine, Simon.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Don't keep me out too late. I've got to carry
the ivy this year.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Carry the ivy.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
In college slang of another day, meaning to graduate.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
I'll get you home very early, Simon. In fact, I'll
take very a good care of you, and i'll see
you tonight.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
See you tonight, Angie.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
Ooh, it's a little warm today.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Jim Foy? Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Sorry, Jim, don't.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Try to be a friendly templer. I know you're gonna
beat Angie.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Oh I shouldn't have bragged to the boys at the
frat house.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Not funny temper. I suppose he didn't done. Sorry at
you's sorry, I don't come. I'm worried about Angie.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Uh, come on, we can talk as we go, Jim, It's.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
It's not natural to be like she is. Give you
a rough go not only me. Oh men, it's kind
of like she's revenging herself on him for something. How
about this?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Uh, well, it's preference for older men.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
That's a pa during Hobson ritco you and a lot
of others.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
How long does it usually last?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Not long? She catch them up too? What causes a templary?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
What is it? When I help her?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
But I can't wait?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
You not? What's the matter?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Over a boy a light tower alongside the stadium. Hm,
I didn't see him lying on the concrete. Come on, huh,
it's it's a man.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah, it was a man before he fell from a
long way out?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Who is it better?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
And I looked, Jim, it's pretty nasty, Professor Hopson.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Hobson, what happened to it?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
If he fell or jumped, or was pushed. Whatever it was,
he won't be able to tell us. He's day the eye.
Every tower has come crashing down. Looks like the writer
of these letters wasn't fooling Jim Finance, Jane, take her home.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
I've got what to do. Uh. Good morning, Dean, Oh Templer,
sit down, thank you. Shocking thing about Hobson. Shocking accident,
of course, What makes you think so, my dear fellow,
(17:17):
Hobson was one of our professors. How could it be
anything else, Dean?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Do you think he was climbing light towers at the
stadium just for exercise? Officially yes, actually no, But whatever
it was, I don't want to know. I mean, well,
the good name of the university, Templar. You can see
that command has been killed, Dean. The police are investigating, but.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
We don't need to tell them about the letters, do we,
I that is to say, do we?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
I'm afraid we do, Dean. Hobson didn't fall from the
light tower. He fell, but from somewhere else. His body
was moved to the base of the tower.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
You're making things up, Templar. It was an actident. I
think it was murderer. Murder Templar, I must ask you
not to use that word.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
No stateman was ever murdered. Keep that in mind, now,
h I. I'm very busy this morning, Dean.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Remember, Templar, in this country a boy can be anything
he wants to be if he makes up his mind
to it. Study hot, save your pennies and you'll get
there as well. And now you'll excuse me. Oh, by
the way, Templar, here's a note for you that was
left in my office this morning.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
A note for me.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Oh, thank you, Hm.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I know all about you and Angie. You don't stop
seeing her. I will, uh yeah. And it looks like
I'm on the list, Dean. Another letter written in poison.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
I don't believe it. Look you read it for you. No, No,
I don't want to read it, I Templar. If it's
someone in this college, then somehow I failed, haven't I
I'm in this age these times. Things have somehow gone
road everything, yestee.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Somehow things have gone very wrong. Tendler, Tendler, wait up.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
And looking for you. Oh hello, bye, hed I've been
looking for you too. I got a little note.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
This morning, dripping with venom.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
No, there's a force of evil loose on this campus templar.
You've got to find it and quickly. Spring football practice
starts next month.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Or we'll clear it up before then. Uh tell me,
how's Angie taking Hobson's dad?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
How should she take it? What was Hobson to her
more than a friend? I should say, true, But Angela's
not for brooding. She wanted me to remind you that
you didn't keep your date last night hardly. She said
she would be at the same place tonight. Didn't tell
me where, but I guess you'd know as I suppose.
I were fine. Girl, Angela, you're lucky that she singled
you out for attention. She has. You know, you're very lucky.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
I could be the luckiest man in the cemetery.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Say you could at that templar. Well, that's the way
things go. That's just the way things go. Yes, sir,
that's just buzz.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
If you don't mind, I haven't gone yet. I'll see
you at the fifty yard line.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I'll almost to jump with Jim.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
It seems I meet you at the same spot every night.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I know you're gonna meet Angie. I followed her and
sawed up with the press.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Box, and she seemed to get her around, Jim, and
tell me something. Where did you find Angie last night
after I told you to get her and take her home?
She was not in the press box.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
No, she was coming from the other direction. Uh, I'm glad.
Why I think Professor hubs and jumped from the press
box jumped. Now, would you do me a favorite?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Jim, wait at the foot of these stairs and don't
let anyone come up. Do you do that?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Why should I?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Because I think I can solve this thing tonight. Is
that reason enough?
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Good? Wish me luck?
Speaker 2 (21:09):

What a disappointment?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Where the lights?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Angie?
Speaker 4 (21:41):
You're the first one who ever wanted in?
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Angie. I want you to listen and answer my questions.
I didn't come up here to hold hands with you
or whatever it is they're doing in college these.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Days, same thing as in your day, simon, Angie.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
A man's been killed. I don't know how to make
it ready, just do with you, or how to get
you to drop the role of the fen fatale and
face reality. A man's been killed because of you.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
I know, and I'm afraid, Simon, I'm terribly afraid.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Good, that's a start.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
If you're the key to this, Angie, what you are
and what made you that way? This may sound strange,
but do you remember your mother a little?
Speaker 4 (22:25):
My father was mean to her and I hated him
for it. But I love my father al right.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Now, what was the first thing you remember about him? Why?
Speaker 5 (22:33):
I thought he wanted me to be a boy football
player he didn't want a girl.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yes, yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:37):
And what was that? Why? And I heard something? Angie?
Do you think your father loves you?
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Now?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I don't want to ask you this, but I.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Have to because he does.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
I think he enjoys my being able to make fools
of men.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
He asked me about it, men younger than himself. And
do you enjoy him? Oh?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Paul Hobson told me that I was revenging myself of
the way my father treated my mother.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
But I don't know, Angela. Do you think your father
is rational? Stop?
Speaker 5 (23:07):
Stop?
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Please? Please? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
I know.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Look, try and pull yourself together, Angi. I uh, I
wanna show you something. Come over here, what I brought
a flashlight so you could look at this typewriter. Read
the story.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
A young, tearing, slashing Buzzsaw roared up and down the
grid iron at State today, A fury of a man
wearing the number eighty seven. This must have been left
in the typewriter from last four. Read the dateline November eighth,
nineteen twenty six.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Read further.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Wearing the number eighty seven today a footballer model was
born in the fire of competition. His name buzz Barnhardt.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
What Simon what? The person who wrote this wrote the
poison pen notes A very sick person, Agie, a person
unable to face reality, someone living in the past, still
in that golden moment which was never have to would
equal it. A sick brain who could sit up here
and see himself down there on that empty football field
and write stories about what used to be.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
No, they were better days than you ever saw, Templar,
far better.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Will you hear all along? Vis I just came up.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
You told young Fuller not to let anyone up. And
of course Angie's father is different. I never thought much
of Fuller anyway. He couldn't make our fraternity. Templar didn't
even come out for football.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Take it easy, buzz, wondering why.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
I asked you here to catch the right of the note, Templar.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
A lot of criminals have it, buzz, the subconscious desire
for punishment.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Nonsense. You were the only one against whom it was
fun to compete a state man could have. Don't worry, angie,
we'll still be all right. Those fools with their youth
will still come flocking, and you'll send them all away
because they can't measure up to me. That's it, isn't it.
Their youth doesn't mean anything, doesn't.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
You can't bring back your own youth.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Buzz. Let it go, Let it go. I'm still Christ
the man any of you are. Look at Hobson. I
picked him up like a baby, and he twenty year
He is younger, and I'll do the same for you.
Stay back by, give it up. I saw you looking
at her. I saw you. You're all like you young men.
Come here, Tempera, Come here, listen to one hundred feet
straight down. Let's see how young you look lying on
(25:14):
the concrete, Templar.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Let's see what.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Hollo, Why you look at him?
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Oh, don't look on, don't look you all right?
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Gee, I guess so I dodged, and he.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Yes, I know he made his last run. Take Angie home,
will you, well, I'm will you. I'm sure Angie, I'll
stay with buds. He liked that fraternity brothers.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Templer. I want to congratulate you on the way you've
handled this.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Exemplary. And I thought it was better for Angie's sake
to put her father's death down to pure accident.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Dean alter Hobson's not the truth.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
But there are times to look the.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Other way, exactly times to look the other way, very
well put. And of course, who are we to say
that they weren't pure accident, both of them, Dean, And
I'm not at all sure that Barnhardt's mind wasn't sound
as a dollar. After all, wasn't he all American? Dean
(26:31):
chairman of our alumni fund? What more proof do you want?
Speaker 2 (26:35):
All right, it never happened, any of it. That is fine.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yes, indeed, Prue's what I've always said, can't beat a
college education. Send us the boy, and we send you
back the man. As the twig is bent, so the
tree shall grow. I'll remember, Deane, do so, and above all,
keep a sound grip on reality. Well, good luck in
your final exams.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Temple.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Thank you sir, you have been listening to another transcribed
adventure of the Saint, the robin Hood of Modern Crime.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Now here's our starve and some Price ladies and gentlemen.
In tonight's cast, you heard Mary Ship as Angela and
Ed Bagley as her father. Thorough Ross was the Dean, Whitfield,
Connors Hobson, Fred Shiel's Ritco and Lamont Johnson Jim. This
is Vincent Price inviting you to join us again next
week at this same time for another exciting adventure of
the Saint.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Good Night the Night script of the Saint was written
by Dick Paul. Three Chimes mean Good Times on MBC
this afternoon. Be sure to hear the Big Show and
Theater Gild on the Air presents The Fallen Idol with
Walter Pidgeon on MBC
The Adventures of the Saint, starring Vincent Price. The Saint,
based on characters created by Leslie Travers and known to
millions from books, magazines, and motion pictures, The robin Hood
(00:40):
of modern crime now comes transcribed to radio, starring Hollywood's
brilliant and talented actor Vincent Price as the Saint, coming coming,
Good morning, Templar, Get you out of bed. Well, i'm
you young fellows. Stay out too late, get up too late.
(01:00):
No exercise flabby, every one of you hear.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
It's only that my rowing machine sprang a leak a
little while back. Rationalization, Well, they're rationing everything these days.
Come in, mister, you know me, Templar.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Barnard Buzz Barnart. I used to see you with the
fathouse when you were at State. The grip, brother, what
oh yes, the grip? As if I could ever forget?
How does it go again? If you were trying to joke, Templar,
there are two things I never joke about the university
the fraternity.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Won't you sit down, mister Barner buzz Buzz, you played football,
didn't you football?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I was before your time, Templar. But my old jersey
still hangs in the frat house one I wore when
I scored the touchdown against Michigan All America in nineteen
twenty six. And in nineteen twenty six, football was football.
Remember that football was football. I got it. Templar, You've
made quite a reputation as the saint. That's why I've
come to you. There's a force of evil loose on
(01:55):
the campus of Aralmamater, Templar, A force of evil. Read this.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I know all about you and Angie. Let me tell
you what will happen if you keep on seeing it first,
you will be sir. This was written by a very
sick mind, mister Barnard.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Obviously the poison pen note. And I have reason to
believe that every man showing interest in Angela has received one.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Oh who is Angela?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
My daughter? I am the senior at the university, young
and very beautiful.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Oh, I'm sure of it, but I don't quite see,
mister Barnard that is buzz that there's anything that I
can Templar.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
The young student will receive this note. Jim Fuller disregarded it.
Last night he was seized from behind and choked unconscious.
If his assailant hadn't been frightened off while other students approaching.
I firmly believe Fuller would have been killed.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
And then it's a matter for the police.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
The police, Templar. The police that alone, not being statemen,
are not even university men. You see how impossible it is.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
But I still don't see how there is.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
No hire duty than the beauty. We all owe our
alma mater, though we may wander far. When she issues
a call, we must answer, Templar. Her reputation is threatened.
She needs you.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Buzz for university, for fraternity, the grip.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
The brother and it's all settled. I'll tell Dean Matthews
to expect you.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Oh, is Dean Matthew still there? He must be one
hundred and eighty years old by now.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Of course he no longer handles him in the street
of judies, but he insists on knowing everything that's going on.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
And I'll see him in the morning and arrange to
take some refresher courses.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Very intelligent, excite life, suspicion.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yeah, you might give me the names that the students
your daughter has been seeing.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Angela's a rule doesn't care too much for the company
of students, Templar. She prefers older man, Oh, how about fuller?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Fooler?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Is I believe more of a convenience than anything else?
College dances and so on. Angela, and I say this
without conceit. You understand, prefers someone cast more in the
image of her father, younger naturally, Well, can you give
me the names of any of these images? She has
been somewhat certain respector you might try Professor Hobson, the
young instructor in psychology around thirty five, quite handsome.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Angela must be a very attractive girl.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Angela is an attractive woman, as you will find out.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Is anything in particular meant by that, mister Burner?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Just caution, mister Templar. I know my daughter, and I'm
looking forward to it for our ma mater. Of course,
of course, of course, the grip, the grip. Good afternoon, Dean,
My name is come in, gentler.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
How is that?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I never forget a face, never understand you're coming back
with us again? Well in a way, yeah, good, finish
the job this time, my boy. Graduate, make up your
mind to it and you'll do it.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Dean, I think you have me confused.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Nonsense, nonsense, I remember you perfectly left here last semester,
didn't you.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
As a matter of fact, Dean, I graduated from this
fair tower of learning quite a number of well, a
fair number of years ago. The reason I'm here just
now is to audit a few courses, any courses, in
connection with an investigation I'm making for mister Barnard.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
But I understand all this, Oh good, I understand your
needs exactly fine. Angela Barnhart is a very interesting young woman.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
And now don't tell me you've received a note too.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
How's that, young man?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Nothing saying now about those courses, deem.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
My assistant will arrange things with the registrar. I know
exactly what you want of splendid and this semester, Templar,
make up your mind to buckle down to work. No
more cutting classes. A job worth doing is worth doing well, Dean.
Astituiti sticuitiveness and a constant image before you of your parents.
(05:49):
Proud smile when you bring home that diploma. You touched me.
Study hard, thing straight and resolved to be the kind
of a success which in later life will enable you
to contribute generously to the alumni.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Fu Professor Hobson, Yes, my name is Templar Simon Templar.
I'm auditing your psychology.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
One with one in mine, Templar.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
But do I impress you as a typical undergraduate type?
Uh no, No, I was afraid not. Then I'd better be, Frank.
I understand poison pen notes are circulating on the campus, Hobson,
and further that you yourself may have received one. Yes, well,
I've been asked by uh Buzz Barnhardt to find the
author of the notes.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I hope you can. I hope you can.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Can you contribute to anything further than just hope?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Temper? I? Uh, I suppose you know that I'm implicated
in this MM. It has been suggested yet I have
one of the notes. Have you seen them?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Here? Uh?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty much like the other I saw.
Have you uh heeded the warning to stay away from Angie?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Uh no? Or rather, Angie hasn't stayed away from me.
That sounds egotistical, But then you don't know Angie, or
do you? If I'm still looking forward to it, don't.
I still don't know how this thing got started, Templar.
Every young professor gets a certain amount of flattering attention
from the co eds, but this is different, vastly different.
Angie's a woman tremendously attractive and tremendously evil. You really
(07:25):
feel that, yes and no, no, No one that young
is evil. Will give them time. Angie is twisted badly
so her family, her father is oh. I can't even
be objective enough about the girl who analyzes what's wrong?
Have any ideas about the author of the note? No? No,
someone badly neurotic, perhaps dangerously neurotic. That's obvious, total lack
(07:48):
of adjustment to realities. Perhaps he's traits are apparent on
the surface. Perhaps not. It could be anyone you make.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
My chances of finding him over her appear rather gloomy.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Obsen Why not a neurotic?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
A psycho?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
In college ranks these days we turn them out on
an assembly line. I'm somewhat of an escapist, Templer. I
sought a professorial post as a refuge, a serene and
lofty observation point. Let others compete, struggle become ulso written
not for me, when.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
You could have chosen a better historical period, any historical period.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Have you any idea what goes on in a university today? Templar?
Just last June we graduated most of our veterans. We
got back to normals. Six months later. Nine out of
every ten men in college are one A. Now, try
instilling the old college spirit and these boys. Try getting
them to study their homework so their mothers will be
proud of them. Try getting them to conform to the
(08:40):
nice conservative moral standards which prevailed when you and I
went to college.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
All happily, I don't have to try. I only have
to catch someone who's been writing letters. Do you have
any ideas about anyone else who might have received one
of these valentines?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
You know about young Fuller? Yes, yes, well you can't
really count him any Now, try our esteemed football coach,
Buddy Ridcot.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
A football coach hasn't enough worries. He has to go
out and choose more. You don't choose Angie Templer, she
chooses you. Oh, I see well, and thanks for your help. Hops.
And then I'd be a little careful about walking around
alone after dark till this thing is cleared up.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
You might be in danger, unless, of course, I was
the author of these letters. There's always that possibility. Yes,
in any.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Case, I wish you was success in any case.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
In any case, Hm, the Ivory Tower has come crashing down.
This bruised and soiled occupant has no further distance to fall. Well,
see you went class, template?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Uh if I don't get hurt in football practice yet?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Oh? Yes, our mister ridco a character.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Builder, a character building h or a winning football coach.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
He combines the aggressiveness of a hungry.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Shark with the ethics of a professional stool pigeon, a
winning coach.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Wh Uh see you in class, professor.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Alright, break it up, boys, hit the showers.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I beg your pardon. My name is Tempa and mister
Rick co.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Oh an alumnus, well wants to complaint, mister Templar, No.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Complaint, cod, It's just little information.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Oh you wanna know why we dropped two games last fall, Well,
the ball was slippery and our quarterback was stupid.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Not that kind of information. I wanted some information about
Angela Barnhardt, Angela and you. As a matter of thank.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
You're pretty nosy, even for an alum. Come on in
the office, thank you. You haven't been writing me letters
on the subject of Angela.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Mm so you got one too, May I see it?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Sure? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Mmm, yeah, it's pretty nasty.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Oh I've gotten worse. You should see them when I.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Lose a football game. The man who wrote this might
be dangerous, Ricka, I can handle myself.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Yeah, you look crank. You can any versions to telling
me what there is between you and Angela? None except
that it's none of your business.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Mmm uh yeah her. Her father asked me to investigate
these letters.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Oh, oh, good old buzz I met Angie through him.
He's the kind you find on every campus if you're unlucky.
He's still back in nineteen twenty six when he was
a star. Nobody knows anything about football but him.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Least of all me. What about Angie?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
She's the kind you meet on the campus if you're lucky.
Aren't you a little old for her?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Rickoh?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
She likes it that way.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Couldn't this be trouble?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
It's worth it.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
All these notes were typewritten. You don't have a typewriter,
do you, coach?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Look, these letters were written by a nut I didn't
have time to go to class when I went to college.
But I'm smart enough to figure that. Am I nutty
enough to be doing it? Forty three coaches last year
had nervous breakdowns, a lot more acting strange. But the
man with the net hasn't gotten them yet. Am I
one of them? I'll put your money and take your choice.
Now beat it. I'm busy. You're a hard man, mister Rica.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah yeah, Oh.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Well there you are, Templar. I'd heard you from down
to the gym.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
How are you, mister Berner?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Buzz oh you've met our friend Rick go arms around
the neck, charms buzz God, good, Templar. Angela's waiting outside.
She wants to meet you.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I'm sure the desire is mutual, but uh, don't you
want to hear it?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
But tell me later. Right now, I'm going to stay
here and show rit go some plays Pop Warner used
in the single Wing, some real plays Rico, Oh sure,
buzz sure, Jim Dandy's the trouble with you, rickco is
that you don't understand the fundamentals of the What are
you waiting for? Templar?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
A break in the conversation, Run along, Templar, and I
wish you're luck.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
You'll need it and you too. Yes, I'm used to it, Angie,
you're not used to right buzz badly put but right
now here's an off tackle smash. Sorry, I can't stay
with you, happy people. Well, what was that you're gonna
tell me about Pompler as.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
You would be, Simon.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah, and uh you would be Angie. Yes, you very
definitely would be Angie. Heard a lot about you to
coin a Creache Ange.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
And now what do you think?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I don't know you well enough to tell you.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
I don't like to get acquainted. Come on and walk
me to class, Simon.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I hope it's a long walk in a short class.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
You're a very smooth Simon. Lots of practice, yes, yes,
you've had lots of practice.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Uh. Don't you think we'd better talk about?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Uh? The letters Angela who most.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
I don't consider them particularly important.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
They're ugly and they're stupid, and they're written.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
By a man.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
That's all I know.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Why are you so sure they're written by a man
because they're ugly and stupid?
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Yes, but not you, Simon, Not you Anjie and you
haven't looking for you?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Hello, Jim a Jim fuller of Simon.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Jim, Oh hire you Jim great?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
You work fastest, Tember.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Now, don't make a scene, jimmy scene.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
What do you expect when your factually push my face
down on the dirt and rub my nose in it?
Speaker 5 (14:05):

Jimmy, Angie, away, Jimmy, go way.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
All right, Angie, I'll see you letter.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Maybe it wasn't that a little.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Cruel, Jimmy, good child, really a child you're pushing seventy?
Of course, don't talk down to me, Simon, And don't
try to erect any barriers by talking about my age.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
People only erect barriers who are frightening.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Psychology one experience too.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Meet me tonight at the stadium, Simon.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Oh, well, game tonight, no game, just as we.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
I'll see you around nine, Simon.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Don't keep me out too late. I've got to carry
the ivy this year.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Carry the ivy.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
In college slang of another day, meaning to graduate.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
I'll get you home very early, Simon. In fact, I'll
take very a good care of you, and i'll see
you tonight.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Uh, come on, we can talk as we go, Jim, It's.

It's not natural to be like she is. Give you
a rough go not only me. Oh men, it's kind
of like she's revenging herself on him for something. How
about this?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Uh, well, it's preference for older men.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
That's a pa during Hobson ritco you and a lot
of others.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
How long does it usually last?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Not long? She catch them up too? What causes a templary?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
What is it? When I help her?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
But I can't wait?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
You not? What's the matter?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Over a boy a light tower alongside the stadium. Hm,
I didn't see him lying on the concrete. Come on, huh,
it's it's a man.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah, it was a man before he fell from a
long way out?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Who is it better?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
And I looked, Jim, it's pretty nasty, Professor Hopson.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Hobson, what happened to it?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
If he fell or jumped, or was pushed. Whatever it was,
he won't be able to tell us. He's day the eye.
Every tower has come crashing down. Looks like the writer
of these letters wasn't fooling Jim Finance, Jane, take her home.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
I've got what to do. Uh. Good morning, Dean, Oh Templer,
sit down, thank you. Shocking thing about Hobson. Shocking accident,
of course, What makes you think so, my dear fellow,
(17:17):
Hobson was one of our professors. How could it be
anything else, Dean?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Do you think he was climbing light towers at the
stadium just for exercise? Officially yes, actually no, But whatever
it was, I don't want to know. I mean, well,
the good name of the university, Templar. You can see
that command has been killed, Dean. The police are investigating, but.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
We don't need to tell them about the letters, do we,
I that is to say, do we?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
I'm afraid we do, Dean. Hobson didn't fall from the
light tower. He fell, but from somewhere else. His body
was moved to the base of the tower.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
You're making things up, Templar. It was an actident. I
think it was murderer. Murder Templar, I must ask you
not to use that word.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
No stateman was ever murdered. Keep that in mind, now,
h I. I'm very busy this morning, Dean.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Remember, Templar, in this country a boy can be anything
he wants to be if he makes up his mind
to it. Study hot, save your pennies and you'll get
there as well. And now you'll excuse me. Oh, by
the way, Templar, here's a note for you that was
left in my office this morning.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
A note for me.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Oh, thank you, Hm.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I know all about you and Angie. You don't stop
seeing her. I will, uh yeah. And it looks like
I'm on the list, Dean. Another letter written in poison.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
I don't believe it. Look you read it for you. No, No,
I don't want to read it, I Templar. If it's
someone in this college, then somehow I failed, haven't I
I'm in this age these times. Things have somehow gone
road everything, yestee.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Somehow things have gone very wrong. Tendler, Tendler, wait up.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
And looking for you. Oh hello, bye, hed I've been
looking for you too. I got a little note.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
This morning, dripping with venom.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
No, there's a force of evil loose on this campus templar.
You've got to find it and quickly. Spring football practice
starts next month.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Or we'll clear it up before then. Uh tell me,
how's Angie taking Hobson's dad?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
How should she take it? What was Hobson to her
more than a friend? I should say, true, But Angela's
not for brooding. She wanted me to remind you that
you didn't keep your date last night hardly. She said
she would be at the same place tonight. Didn't tell
me where, but I guess you'd know as I suppose.
I were fine. Girl, Angela, you're lucky that she singled
you out for attention. She has. You know, you're very lucky.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
I could be the luckiest man in the cemetery.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Say you could at that templar. Well, that's the way
things go. That's just the way things go. Yes, sir,
that's just buzz.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
If you don't mind, I haven't gone yet. I'll see
you at the fifty yard line.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I'll almost to jump with Jim.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
It seems I meet you at the same spot every night.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I know you're gonna meet Angie. I followed her and
sawed up with the press.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Box, and she seemed to get her around, Jim, and
tell me something. Where did you find Angie last night
after I told you to get her and take her home?
She was not in the press box.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
No, she was coming from the other direction. Uh, I'm glad.
Why I think Professor hubs and jumped from the press
box jumped. Now, would you do me a favorite?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Jim, wait at the foot of these stairs and don't
let anyone come up. Do you do that?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Why should I?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Because I think I can solve this thing tonight. Is
that reason enough?
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Good? Wish me luck?
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Huh knock with Angie?
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Just luck?
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Feed ledgy m h u h. Anybody here got me silent? Oh?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Angie? Is your the reds? I?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah? The stay?
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Ah?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
What a disappointment?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Where the lights?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Angie?
Speaker 4 (21:41):
You're the first one who ever wanted in?
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Angie. I want you to listen and answer my questions.
I didn't come up here to hold hands with you
or whatever it is they're doing in college these.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Days, same thing as in your day, simon, Angie.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
A man's been killed. I don't know how to make
it ready, just do with you, or how to get
you to drop the role of the fen fatale and
face reality. A man's been killed because of you.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
I know, and I'm afraid, Simon, I'm terribly afraid.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Good, that's a start.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
If you're the key to this, Angie, what you are
and what made you that way? This may sound strange,
but do you remember your mother a little?
Speaker 4 (22:25):
My father was mean to her and I hated him
for it. But I love my father al right.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Now, what was the first thing you remember about him? Why?
Speaker 5 (22:33):
I thought he wanted me to be a boy football
player he didn't want a girl.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yes, yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:37):
And what was that? Why? And I heard something? Angie?
Do you think your father loves you?
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Now?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I don't want to ask you this, but I.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Have to because he does.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
I think he enjoys my being able to make fools
of men.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
He asked me about it, men younger than himself. And
do you enjoy him? Oh?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Paul Hobson told me that I was revenging myself of
the way my father treated my mother.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
But I don't know, Angela. Do you think your father
is rational? Stop?
Speaker 5 (23:07):
Stop?
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Please? Please? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
I know.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Look, try and pull yourself together, Angi. I uh, I
wanna show you something. Come over here, what I brought
a flashlight so you could look at this typewriter. Read
the story.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
A young, tearing, slashing Buzzsaw roared up and down the
grid iron at State today, A fury of a man
wearing the number eighty seven. This must have been left
in the typewriter from last four. Read the dateline November eighth,
nineteen twenty six.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Read further.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Wearing the number eighty seven today a footballer model was
born in the fire of competition. His name buzz Barnhardt.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
What Simon what? The person who wrote this wrote the
poison pen notes A very sick person, Agie, a person
unable to face reality, someone living in the past, still
in that golden moment which was never have to would
equal it. A sick brain who could sit up here
and see himself down there on that empty football field
and write stories about what used to be.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
No, they were better days than you ever saw, Templar,
far better.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Will you hear all along? Vis I just came up.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
You told young Fuller not to let anyone up. And
of course Angie's father is different. I never thought much
of Fuller anyway. He couldn't make our fraternity. Templar didn't
even come out for football.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Take it easy, buzz, wondering why.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
I asked you here to catch the right of the note, Templar.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
A lot of criminals have it, buzz, the subconscious desire
for punishment.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Nonsense. You were the only one against whom it was
fun to compete a state man could have. Don't worry, angie,
we'll still be all right. Those fools with their youth
will still come flocking, and you'll send them all away
because they can't measure up to me. That's it, isn't it.
Their youth doesn't mean anything, doesn't.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
You can't bring back your own youth.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Buzz. Let it go, Let it go. I'm still Christ
the man any of you are. Look at Hobson. I
picked him up like a baby, and he twenty year
He is younger, and I'll do the same for you.
Stay back by, give it up. I saw you looking
at her. I saw you. You're all like you young men.
Come here, Tempera, Come here, listen to one hundred feet
straight down. Let's see how young you look lying on
(25:14):
the concrete, Templar.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Let's see what.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Hollo, Why you look at him?
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Oh, don't look on, don't look you all right?
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Gee, I guess so I dodged, and he.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Yes, I know he made his last run. Take Angie home,
will you, well, I'm will you. I'm sure Angie, I'll
stay with buds. He liked that fraternity brothers.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Templer. I want to congratulate you on the way you've
handled this.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Exemplary. And I thought it was better for Angie's sake
to put her father's death down to pure accident.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Dean alter Hobson's not the truth.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
But there are times to look the.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Other way, exactly times to look the other way, very
well put. And of course, who are we to say
that they weren't pure accident, both of them, Dean, And
I'm not at all sure that Barnhardt's mind wasn't sound
as a dollar. After all, wasn't he all American? Dean
(26:31):
chairman of our alumni fund? What more proof do you want?
Speaker 2 (26:35):
All right, it never happened, any of it. That is fine.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yes, indeed, Prue's what I've always said, can't beat a
college education. Send us the boy, and we send you
back the man. As the twig is bent, so the
tree shall grow. I'll remember, Deane, do so, and above all,
keep a sound grip on reality. Well, good luck in
your final exams.
