Speaker 4 (07:10):
But if you don't mind, I think I'll light a match.
I'd like to know who's murdering who. It's a charming situation.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Margaret is a candle on the chambers. We're all strangers,
aren't we.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
St Lapperty claims to be butler of this crazy house,
but he's unacquainted with this young lady who claims to
own it. Mister Cranston, do you know my name? I

Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Shot three times in the chairs, so I see, But
by what who shot him?
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Known? I look at this. There's a trap on the
side of the hall were guns said, they're like a
firing line and there's a treble attachment of the triggers.
Rusty stepped on it. The trap swung open and the
guns in the wall blasted the light on him. What
was here?
Speaker 7 (08:50):
Something about the green goose?
Speaker 4 (08:52):
I don't know, Margaret. Now listen all if you can't
get this straight, for all this trapped in this twisted
house and some of you have declared war. I damn
it one going back to the living room and call
the police. I wouldn't fry any gun powder persuasion Lafferty. Really,
mister Curtin, it's really. I took the liberty of borrowing
(09:13):
Rusty's gun while I was examining him. You wouldn't like
to trade shops with me, would you, Leafpardy? See? You wouldn't.
Speaker 9 (09:22):
All right, Uncle, let's go.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Hello, Hello, Hello. It's no use, Margat. The lion's dead.
The blizzard must have knocked the wires down. They were
stuck here, right, and a house without light, without a phone,
and with three maniacs will apparently dislike each other as
much as us. I want to get out of here
in no if we can find our way out now, Margo,
And even if we could, there's been a murder committed.
(09:50):
We've got to find out who's responsible.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
What can we do?
Speaker 4 (09:54):
You can sit tight and wait here for me, Darling.
The shadows going to pay a visit.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Whether yes, step into the alcohol moment. Well, congratulations, my
dear boy, for what or don't they modest? You were magnificent?
How did you manage to make Rusty swing that gibberish
about ghosts before you killed.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Him, before I was a two edged sword.
Speaker 6 (10:36):
With one blow, you eliminated that little man, and you
created an air of supernatural menace that will certainly fighten.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
The other the way they're crazy. You kill Rusty, dear boy.
You kill Rusty for his share of the money. You
want to split two ways instead of three? Maybe you
only want to split one way after you kill me?
When is that ridiculous? I swear that I never killed
someone who laughs. Are two modest killers with.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Poison in our hearts and talk in their minds?
Speaker 4 (11:07):
But isn't anybody I can see?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
This is the shadow?
Speaker 4 (11:12):
The shadow?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
What money brought you to this house?

Who's money is it belonged to? Jerry Crane?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
You lie? Jerry Crane was a chief executed from ten
years ago.
Speaker 8 (11:26):
Jerry Crane tried to bribe the safe executioner with that
money to fix the execution so he had left. No
man could live through an execution winsor Jerry thought he could.
He bribed the executioner, a man named Penn Falkenberg. Falkenberg
was caught and dismiss He took this house and lived
here with the money for ten years.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
He died about a month ago and found the money shadow,
knowing it must be here.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
It's got to be here. Now, Look, you'll be shadow

cannot buy the shadow.

stepped on that trap and the spring noose caught him
at the neck and whipped him into the air. Oh massage,
What don't like murders the month?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Who are you, miss archer?
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Why are you in this house? I can't tell? Can't
you understand, miss Archer? That Lafferty was right this house
is filled with death and terror. This is the time
for the truth, all right. Who was Janie Crane Crane,
Jerry Crane's daughter.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
Yes, Jerry Crane, the man who bribes them talking right,
the man who was executed.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Yes, I'm his daughter. I came here to see if
I could.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
Find that money, the money he stole from the Chase
Bond Company the nineties.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
He murdered the guard. I had a crazy idea it
might help clear.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
The Name's the matter with you? You're right, grandson at
this time for the truth. You'll get a kick out
of this confession.
Speaker 5 (17:23):

Speaker 4 (17:24):
Chase Bond Company. The detective at signed to recover that money. Yeah,
I was.
Speaker 8 (17:28):
Playing along with Lafferty and his dudge to find the money.
But I figured that that would be armless. After Ben
Faulkenberg died, He's not dead.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Well, Ben isn't deady somewhere in this house. He was
a green ghost Rusty saw before he was killed.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Wait a second, Lafferty and I thought the body didn't
see Ben's body.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
He's still alive with him.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
He's still alive and in this house sitting difference. None
of us is going to be safe until he's caught. Yeah,
that's right. Well, okay, I better start looking for a second.
I look craft and it's your job. Was the money?
I forget that. The big thing now is to find
the killer. That's my job.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
You better stay with Jay Margo.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
All right, darling next to me, you wanted I look
craft and you might run into another one of those
depth traps two feet from here. I'm afraid we'll just
have to take our chests. Okay, good luck.

Thanks, you may need it, my mother, careful now, Mogo
(18:48):
is the last candles.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
It's good burning. You need plenty of life. You know
what we're doing. Well, every time someone went down this hole,
they were stopped going next sus his trap. Rusty walked
down a little way and he was killed by a
firing line of gun Yes, Janata when turthering was trapped
in a gas chamber. Right lastly went even further and
(19:11):
was hung in a noose. Money to the end of
this home must be.
Speaker 9 (19:17):
I think to follow him.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
He twist and turn until we reached the end.
Speaker 7 (19:20):
How many more traps for the beach which I knew him.
It's like like running the gunky around his corner.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Shoot. They go to so umber truck light a six hude,
then let me go first. Right after that he was
trying to frighten us up with his spoop talk and
told the truth. The house has murder and terror in
(19:51):
every corner. The death was closed. What was three foot gear?
Speaker 5 (20:04):

flapped like butter.

But if one of the traps is solitary, confinement for life.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
But what happened to the candles.

That flew out?
Speaker 4 (20:34):
There was a draft, this sudden goshop get against the walls,
sudden gusto in a door open somewhere, maybe another trap starting.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
I don't want to die. I wouldn't be able to
continue with my execution.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
You will die for the murder of three people in
the town.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
No, not me, but they're no one to tell. No

Years, taking his death so the people would elud into his.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Deathod was the candle of the bribe, and his dismissal
must have really slapped his mind. I think the most
ironic clause of the way he died by electrocution himself.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
He was elexecuted Mark, so he electrocutes, No he was
I told him that, not from electrocution.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
He was electrocuted.

He staggered against the consoled hands.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
Grabbed the life.

Isn't it very pleasant looking?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Place is.

decidedly no. Get back in your car and leave, because
that's impossible to let. This house has been closed. It
can remain closed until it burns.

Yes, I've been instructed by the owner to burn it
because fire is the only thing that would destroy the
jet and horror in it.

You can't see in the dark.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
I can if you raise that revolver a black cat hand.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
But if you don't mind, I think I'll light a match.
I'd like to know who's murdering who. It's a charming situation.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Margaret is a candle on the chambers. We're all strangers,
aren't we.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
St Lapperty claims to be butler of this crazy house,
but he's unacquainted with this young lady who claims to
own it. Mister Cranston, do you know my name? I
under the gate? What's your name?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Wednesday?
Speaker 6 (07:32):
And you young lady Jane Archid.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
So we have a spook house and three lying strangers.
I suppose you all cover each other with your guns
while I vote for a to can the local police
must be a phone, don't look for it, Terry interesting
united front against the police? Eh? What are you people
(07:55):

But the way your guns and come on a hold

Speaker 3 (08:24):
This man rush to you called him?
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Shot three times in the chairs, so I see, But
by what who shot him?
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Known? I look at this. There's a trap on the
side of the hall were guns said, they're like a
firing line and there's a treble attachment of the triggers.
Rusty stepped on it. The trap swung open and the
guns in the wall blasted the light on him. What
was here?
Speaker 7 (08:50):
Something about the green goose?
Speaker 4 (08:52):
I don't know, Margaret. Now listen all if you can't
get this straight, for all this trapped in this twisted
house and some of you have declared war. I damn
it one going back to the living room and call
the police. I wouldn't fry any gun powder persuasion Lafferty. Really,
mister Curtin, it's really. I took the liberty of borrowing
(09:13):
Rusty's gun while I was examining him. You wouldn't like
to trade shops with me, would you, Leafpardy? See? You wouldn't.
Speaker 9 (09:22):
All right, Uncle, let's go.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Hello, Hello, Hello. It's no use, Margat. The lion's dead.
The blizzard must have knocked the wires down. They were
stuck here, right, and a house without light, without a phone,
and with three maniacs will apparently dislike each other as
much as us. I want to get out of here
in no if we can find our way out now, Margo,
And even if we could, there's been a murder committed.
(09:50):
We've got to find out who's responsible.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
What can we do?
Speaker 4 (09:54):
You can sit tight and wait here for me, Darling.
The shadows going to pay a visit.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Whether yes, step into the alcohol moment. Well, congratulations, my
dear boy, for what or don't they modest? You were magnificent?
How did you manage to make Rusty swing that gibberish
about ghosts before you killed.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Him, before I was a two edged sword.
Speaker 6 (10:36):
With one blow, you eliminated that little man, and you
created an air of supernatural menace that will certainly fighten.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
The other the way they're crazy. You kill Rusty, dear boy.
You kill Rusty for his share of the money. You
want to split two ways instead of three? Maybe you
only want to split one way after you kill me?
When is that ridiculous? I swear that I never killed
someone who laughs. Are two modest killers with.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Poison in our hearts and talk in their minds?
Speaker 4 (11:07):
But isn't anybody I can see?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
This is the shadow?
Speaker 4 (11:12):
The shadow?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
What money brought you to this house?
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Lap of the answer with the truth?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Why one hundred thousand dollars?
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Who's money is it belonged to? Jerry Crane?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
You lie? Jerry Crane was a chief executed from ten
years ago.
Speaker 8 (11:26):
Jerry Crane tried to bribe the safe executioner with that
money to fix the execution so he had left. No
man could live through an execution winsor Jerry thought he could.
He bribed the executioner, a man named Penn Falkenberg. Falkenberg
was caught and dismiss He took this house and lived
here with the money for ten years.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
He died about a month ago and found the money shadow,
knowing it must be here.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
It's got to be here. Now, Look, you'll be shadow
if you know where it is.
Speaker 7 (11:52):
We're splitting you three weeks, fair and square.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
A fair and square way you were split with Rusty here.
I swear you're a liar. So if you will help
us find the shadow.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
You cannot fight truth, you cannot fight justice, and you
cannot buy the shadow.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
They're sitting here in this creepy room getting the shakes well.
Windsor and Lefferty accuse each other murdering Rusty money fortune
hidden somewhere in this house by a former executioner named
Ben Folkenberg. That's Jane Archer act. Maybe she can Maybe
that's going to be the shadows next visit.
Speaker 5 (12:48):

Speaker 1 (14:35):

Speaker 7 (14:37):
I was looking walk into the room the door out
of the clothes. Automatic couldn't stop it.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
You just got here in time. Touching for what miss Uchin?
What you said you were looking looking for what? Why?
What were you looking for?
Speaker 7 (14:52):
I don't know what.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
It isn't time for secrets, miss alone?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Well, I thought you too.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Where enemy is?
Speaker 5 (15:00):
What?
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Pointing? Comes at each other? Half an hour ago, I
wasn't pointing any gun. Lapperty was doing all that's Mary?
Where is that? You heard the shots and came running winter?
Why didn't Laffardy? Maybe because he set the strap to
where did you leave him with? Wandering around it wrapping
honeycomb of her hearts? The matter, honey? I was almost
(15:28):
like drought. Yes, it does come on?
Speaker 7 (15:34):
Who's town me? Why?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Where's it coming from?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Which was twenty miles away?
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Catching coming from this room? The wisdom is not here.
Quickly I found swinging in the air, his heels banging
on the walls.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
He's been hanged candle in.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Another murder, very much dead. Laugherty, wandering at this room,
stepped on that trap and the spring noose caught him
at the neck and whipped him into the air. Oh massage,
What don't like murders the month?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Who are you, miss archer?
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Why are you in this house? I can't tell? Can't
you understand, miss Archer? That Lafferty was right this house
is filled with death and terror. This is the time
for the truth, all right. Who was Janie Crane Crane,
Jerry Crane's daughter.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
Yes, Jerry Crane, the man who bribes them talking right,
the man who was executed.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Yes, I'm his daughter. I came here to see if
I could.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
Find that money, the money he stole from the Chase
Bond Company the nineties.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
He murdered the guard. I had a crazy idea it
might help clear.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
The Name's the matter with you? You're right, grandson at
this time for the truth. You'll get a kick out
of this confession.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
I worked for the.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Chase Bond Company. The detective at signed to recover that money. Yeah,
I was.
Speaker 8 (17:28):
Playing along with Lafferty and his dudge to find the money.
But I figured that that would be armless. After Ben
Faulkenberg died, He's not dead.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Well, Ben isn't deady somewhere in this house. He was
a green ghost Rusty saw before he was killed.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Wait a second, Lafferty and I thought the body didn't
see Ben's body.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
He's still alive with him.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
He's still alive and in this house sitting difference. None
of us is going to be safe until he's caught. Yeah,
that's right. Well, okay, I better start looking for a second.
I look craft and it's your job. Was the money?
I forget that. The big thing now is to find
the killer. That's my job.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
You better stay with Jay Margo.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
All right, darling next to me, you wanted I look
craft and you might run into another one of those
depth traps two feet from here. I'm afraid we'll just
have to take our chests. Okay, good luck.
Speaker 9 (18:24):
Thanks, you may need it, my mother, careful now, Mogo
(18:48):
is the last candles.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
It's good burning. You need plenty of life. You know
what we're doing. Well, every time someone went down this hole,
they were stopped going next sus his trap. Rusty walked
down a little way and he was killed by a
firing line of gun Yes, Janata when turthering was trapped
in a gas chamber. Right lastly went even further and
(19:11):
was hung in a noose. Money to the end of
this home must be.
Speaker 9 (19:17):
I think to follow him.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
He twist and turn until we reached the end.
Speaker 7 (19:20):
How many more traps for the beach which I knew him.
It's like like running the gunky around his corner.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Shoot. They go to so umber truck light a six hude,
then let me go first. Right after that he was
trying to frighten us up with his spoop talk and
told the truth. The house has murder and terror in
(19:51):
every corner. The death was closed. What was three foot gear?
Speaker 5 (20:04):
See knife sharp as a ring. It would have been
flapped like butter.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
But we're not going to keep on, gotcha, mooln't be Jack,
I don't know Darling's Yes, there's much candle.
Speaker 4 (20:19):

Fingers getting ricked.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Try to hold out a little longer, Margaret, to the
head of the stairs.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
But if one of the traps is solitary, confinement for life.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
But what happened to the candles.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
That flew out?
Speaker 4 (20:34):
There was a draft, this sudden goshop get against the walls,
sudden gusto in a door open somewhere, maybe another trap starting.
I'll have a look as much as I can look

Speaker 4 (22:43):
I don't want to die. I wouldn't be able to
continue with my execution.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
You will die for the murder of three people in
the town.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
No, not me, but they're no one to tell. No

Speaker 5 (24:22):
He was elexecuted Mark, so he electrocutes, No he was
I told him that, not from electrocution.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
