Speaker 1 (06:08):
I hold yourself, Margot, you can't do it. It would
be wrong.

Speaker 5 (06:11):
Five.

Speaker 6 (06:12):
It's going for seventy five going, it's going once, going
twice sold.

Speaker 8 (06:18):
The lady is seventy five dollars if you step this way,

Speaker 1 (06:42):
I must admit it's a pretty good imitation. Wait a minute,
take a look at this thing, Marco, I have seventy
five dollars worth, Margo, this is the real, the most piece.
It's worth ten times seventy five dollars.

Speaker 5 (06:55):
That's impossible. Why these places they miss the point.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
These places specialize in fakes and imitations. But this is
the real article.

Speaker 5 (07:01):
How can it be?

Speaker 4 (07:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
I do know this. A few weeks ago I was
reading about a very famous collection of antiques and okay,
dart the Bruder collection, and oh certain a piece like
this was described in that article.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
This Bruder, whatever.

Speaker 5 (07:18):
His name is, probably decided to break up his collection
or turn it.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Into cash and sell it for about one tenth its value.

Speaker 5 (07:24):
Oh no more than what.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Somebody else is liquidating his collection for him.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
He means steal.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
I don't know yet. The three well known fencers who
specialize in antiques, one of them, a mister Otto, might
be ambitious enough to want to buy the Brewder collection.

Speaker 5 (07:50):
But mister Otto, you.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Said there would be largely words.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
If I thought you a boulders collection.

Speaker 6 (07:54):
The larger pieces, yes, I shall pay you well, my
dead friend.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
And the larger pieces we did not touch.

Speaker 5 (08:00):
Mister Arthur, it seemed dangerous to pick up these small pieces.

Speaker 6 (08:03):
Nick Necks, my dear girl, Nick knacks. How about the
piece of limos that you will name it the soul
of the auction? Why didn't you bring it up? You
know about that my business, and know about everything everything.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
I thought to get much money at the auction.

Speaker 6 (08:17):
Instead of bringing it here, you part with it for
a poultry fifty dollars, and to me, they must start.
Do you bring this collection of junk? You're not very bright?

Speaker 5 (08:27):
Sir told you we should not be doing this. We
will be caught.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
It's not worth that, Marie. I like mister Utter.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
He will take your offer this time.

Speaker 6 (08:41):
Yes, I knew that an intelligent pair of collectors such
as you would see it my way.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Here are my dear friendly price agreed. I believe, thank you.

Speaker 5 (08:54):
Come in and the old man will be missing out.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Oh where my dear friends? Oh revoirre okay, okay, ride here,
Miss Gerrauto. You were uh look at him?

Speaker 4 (09:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (09:10):
Follow them? They must not be permitted to uh change
their minds.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Do you understand?

Speaker 6 (09:18):
Yeah, as a fortune and the Brutal collection. Look here, fortune,
it would be short sighted to let falter Now.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Very short side?

Speaker 7 (09:33):
Is is this the place Lamart?

Speaker 5 (09:47):
It's a perfectly respectable shops ride.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Margaret Strato is known to be one of the most
prominent antique dealers in town.

Speaker 5 (09:52):
But you said he was a receiver fence. I thought
they operated in dark cellars and underworld dye.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
You've been li listening to too many radio shows, my
margolis queen, Ah, God, how do you do? And uh?
How can I be observe as to uh?

Speaker 6 (10:11):
We were interested in the gift use perhaps a h
perhaps a trinkets such as deed Uh I'm uh. I'm
sorry sir that uh new shipment is not classified as yet.

Speaker 5 (10:24):
Oh, these are precious and more.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
Look at this metallian.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
I'm sorry this I cannot pay some fine workmanship. As
a matter of fact, I just read about him medallion
very much like this. It was in the Bruder collection.

Speaker 6 (10:39):
The Bruder collection has quite famous, of course, However, duplicates
do show up sometimes.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
I'd like to make you an offer for that.

Speaker 8 (10:49):
No I did, sir.

Speaker 6 (10:50):
I wouldn't think of setting it until I had uh
checked its authenticity.

Speaker 5 (10:56):
Now I am disappointed.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
We'll be back, Margot. I after mister Ratto is a
sort of this collection? Perhaps then, mister Roto, of course,
of course.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Trying to find out what's going on? Margot?

Speaker 6 (11:25):
That medallion came from the Bruder collection. I'm positive of it.

Speaker 5 (11:28):
Well, oh, certainly the man has the right to dispose
of his collection if he sees there.

Speaker 6 (11:32):
Yes, but Bruder never would. He's a fanatic on the
subject of his collection.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
He guards it with his life. Margot. Yes, how would
you like to tell visits mister Bruder himself have a
little talk about his collection?

Speaker 5 (11:59):

the handful of pennies.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
Kill me that I you.

Speaker 9 (15:12):
Hari Harie, someone as toute Marie.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
We'll return to the shadow in just a minute. How
does a child grow mentally and morally? I mean, does
the child develop into the citizen the way the infant
develops into the man just by the passage of time?
Of course, not or there would not be so many
faulty citizens. We all know that, of course, Yet I
wonder how many of us tend to take the line

(15:50):
of least effort to let our children, like Topsy just grow,
counting perhaps in the schools, to teach our youngsters love
for their country, and that is say element of good
citizenship good sportsmanship. Of course, the schools do a great deal,
but they simply cannot do it alone. Rather, it is
every parent's duty who teaches children what it means to

(16:12):
be a good American. Not by preaching, for that is
like water off the proverbial duck's back, but by precept,
by example. After all, how can we expect to develop
a new generation of unprejudiced Americans if we at home
let them hear us falling into those sane, tired old
errors of referring to any group of our fellow Americans

(16:34):
as if they were all alike, all good, all bad,
all smart, all stupid, or all anything. Yes, the teachings
of our children is a mighty task made simple by
just being good citizens ourselves. And now the shadow Lamont

(17:03):
Cranston and Margot Lane are on the trail of a
gang dealing in stolen our treasures.

Speaker 6 (17:08):
They pay a visit at the castle like home of
an eccentric refugee collector. If they try to get in
the front door, there's a shot from within the house.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Astol shot. Can't wait a minute, Margaret've got to get
in their fast.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
Come on what there's something terrible as what we're on
in here? My wife someone shot. Someone has built up
my wife.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
The mantlas, I see right through the heart. Who did this?

Speaker 4 (17:32):
My wife and I will We were going to the
door to answer your knocking when the shot came out
of nowhere.

Speaker 5 (17:38):
I'm not the study thieves.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Someone was answered into study? Must the virtue in the court?
Why should they shoot?

Speaker 4 (17:44):
What? What is happening? I heard a shot? It is
my e. She has been shot. Mary, Oh, poor Marie.
Who did this? Burglar? Is thieves? A boot? How my
treasures there? They've upped my treasure? They were interrupted. Nothing
is going ha ha good good? These people? Who are they?

Speaker 1 (18:05):
My name is Crimston, This is miss Lamee. We came
out here to see we could help you. We have
need of health.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
Hami, hami, there's nothing missing your soul? Yes, help good good.

Speaker 6 (18:16):
I was afraid. Oh hi, I must have I go
rest this excitement.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
Before you from mister Bruder. Were you all own upstairs?

Speaker 4 (18:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Why? Because it seems quite obvious that the bullet that
killed Marie was fired from above the line of the
bullet is done.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
I do not understand. I saw no one.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
They may have escaped while man hair was a rising.
Helpoda's eyes are not very good, mister Crimston.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
Ha, I must get too bad, they ha.

Speaker 6 (18:47):
I cannot stand this excitement, but I help you, mister Brutter.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Let him do that. Margot, think you and I should
attend to notify. Please come help.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
I will be right down. Mister Clenton.

Speaker 5 (18:58):
What do you think you?

Speaker 1 (19:00):
I think the shadow that I have a talk with
the Meal when he comes down. Margot, I want you
to make certain mister Bruder doesn't leave his room. I
poor money. I must get out of you before the police.

(19:21):
You see him? Upset, Emial, who said that?

Speaker 6 (19:25):
Don't bother looking around? I'm here, Joe elbow, but you
cannot see me. No one sees the shadow a Meal.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Shadow?

Speaker 4 (19:36):
What do you want? Who killed your wife?

Speaker 8 (19:37):
Emal?

Speaker 4 (19:38):
I don't know. I hurt the shot. I saw a ball.
It must have been the thief.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Perhaps this thief exists only in your mind.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
No, no, you must believe me. I saw him here
at the gun.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Or so you saw the burglary Meal.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
Yes, he was named Lookie. He wanted us to help
him steal the paintings.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
But he would not answer this Lookie killed her.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
I don't know. Marie took his gun. She was going
to turn him over to the police. Suddenly there was
a shot.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
So fired it I ways upstairs in here, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
Tell me who There was no one upstairs but a boulder,
all right, a Meal.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
I look for her.

Speaker 6 (20:18):
In the meantime, I'll lock you in your room, because
if you've lied, I want you to be here to
answer to the shadow.

Speaker 5 (20:38):
These huge, weird cellars under the house, what he suppose
they were.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Used for storage? These wilds the owner's probably had a
store enough food for a whole winter in the old days.

Speaker 5 (20:47):
I still don't see what we're doing down.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Here, looking for some evidence of the man Luky that
Emil swears held a gun on him and Marie.

Speaker 5 (20:54):
He may be gone by now, they think.

Speaker 7 (20:55):
So.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
You're sure the old man can't get out of his room.

Speaker 5 (20:59):
Positive. Here's the only key to his room. It's about
a hundred foot dropped in the window right over a cliff.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Good, well, I see anything down here?

Speaker 4 (21:08):
Hey, wait a minute.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Until they flash down?

Speaker 4 (21:11):
Oh what do you see here?

Speaker 6 (21:13):
I set of footprints in the dust leading this way.

Speaker 5 (21:19):
But where do they go? They stop right at this wall.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
Seem interesting?

Speaker 6 (21:26):
Hm, it's just as I thought I'll find to catch
on this section.

Speaker 4 (21:33):
It is what is it?

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Oh, refrigerating chamber building of the houses in the old days,
usually with the hidden door.

Speaker 5 (21:42):
Stand back, barker, good lord, do you think dead?

Speaker 7 (21:50):

Speaker 7 (21:57):
The man?

Speaker 4 (21:57):
Who is it?

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Mister brudo?

Speaker 5 (22:01):
Rude?

Speaker 7 (22:03):
But it can't be.

Speaker 5 (22:03):
I just left him. He was locked in his room.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
It's brutal, all right, There's no doubt in the world
about it.

Speaker 5 (22:07):
It can't be La Mona, can't be.

Speaker 4 (22:11):
M What is it?

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Margaret? I want you to go upstairs one of the
guest rooms, lock yourself in and don't come out with
anybody until I call you. I think that the man
behind this won't hesitate a moment to commit another murder,
and I don't want you to be the victim.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
But I don't tell you this dangerous for us to
be backing this the man no one can see.

I can't.

way and you get it to you understand, I understand?

Speaker 8 (23:00):
Hello, A.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Wow, what's this?

Speaker 4 (23:03):
I thought the best mister Canson to pick up the
thresher soldier.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
The police don't like things touched.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
I cannot help it. My first concern must be for hepholders.

Speaker 6 (23:11):

dead and.

Thank you, mister Kins. Yes quit a man with the
gun behind the girl. Your next came backs, what you think?

But no, my heart had gone. Look you're.

Speaker 5 (23:41):
The man.

Speaker 7 (23:44):
The more.

Speaker 5 (23:46):
The more you are right, I had shut up.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
Go belong back in your room. Your lady, are you up?

Speaker 8 (23:56):
You?

Speaker 7 (23:58):
They can't be.

Speaker 4 (24:01):
If I does not believe her eyes?

Speaker 5 (24:05):
But did we found your body in the cellar?

Speaker 4 (24:08):
Oh you did? Did you? How unfortunate it for you.

Speaker 5 (24:14):
I don't believe it's a trick.

Speaker 7 (24:16):
It must be a trick.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Perhaps I'm a ghost.

Speaker 5 (24:18):
No, you're not a ghost.

Speaker 6 (24:20):
A very observant miss laid, perhaps too observed.

Speaker 5 (24:23):
You knew what was going on in mister Bouter, the
thieves and the murder. Perhaps for why why should you
let your treasures be stolen?

Speaker 4 (24:29):
Perhaps I wanted them stolen?

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Alps, you did, but Hair Brewder did not. Who said
that the shadow? Hair Bruder didn't want his collections stolen?
And that's why Bruder lies dead in the cellar.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
You're crazy. I am Bruder.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
Holler done a very credible job of masquerading. But you're
not Bruder, are you. Otto.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
That's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
It's's ridiculous for you to think you could get away
with it. You realized no one new Bruder by sight.
You thought you could easily impersonate him, didn't you.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
I don't know what you was talking about.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
I'll tell you. You wanted the Bruder collection. Brudo wouldn't sell,
so you killed him and hid his body in the cellar.
You started to loot the place, and then a complication
said in the servants Brewder at center you have four
arrived realized they didn't know Bruder by sight, so you
carried on the masquerade. It gave you the inspiration for
the whole clock nes hard lie heead of looting the

(25:21):
collection yourself, you let a Meal and Maurice steal it
piece by piece and sell it to you, as mister Otto,
for a fraction of its value.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
High Why should I do that?

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Because it gave you a victim on which you could
pin the murder of Bruder. It gave you the fabulous
collection at a ridiculous price, and it gave you two
ready made four guys for the thievery very wide. Everything
you say is true, I am mister Otto, but you

(25:49):
won't live to tell the story to anyone. I'll see
to that. You're counting on your body. Louki, LOOKI LOOKI
look he How is he in the study? Securely tied
up for the police. I'm getting out. Don't try to
stop me.

Speaker 7 (26:06):
He's getting away.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
He won't get very far.

Speaker 6 (26:08):
Listen, mister, right into the hands of a welcoming committee
from the police.

Speaker 5 (26:26):
Well the mont you were right, Luca has could bessed
his part in the park in his turn. Safe's evidence.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Even without his evidence please says enough put an end
to mister Otto's on savory career.

Speaker 5 (26:35):
Monk was mister Otto then kill Mary?

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Yes, Margot, he was standing at the head of the stairs.
He saw she'd gotten Lucy's gun, was ready to tell
the police everything, so he shot that.

Speaker 5 (26:45):
Mister Otto got an awful shock after killing Bouder to
have the two servants walking on.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yes, Margaret, but gave him an idea, an idea that
was to result in two more murders and the one way,
no return trip for him. Is this a question you've

(27:14):
been wanting to ask about heart disease? Are any heart
diseases curable? Part of the answer is yes, there are
certain types of heart disease which can be cured through surgery,
others through drugs. But there is still much to be
learned about heart diseases and the causes of rheumatic fever,
high blood pressure, and hardening of the arteries. That's why

(27:35):
the American Heart Association needs your help now to carry
on urgently needed research and educational programs that will help
combat this great enemy to our public health. For in
spite of medical progress, heart diseases still take one American
life every minute. Give and give generously to your local
