Speaker 1 (00:06):
The strange Doctor weir.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Good evening, Come in, won't you? What's the murder? You
seem a bit nervous.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Perhaps if I told you a story it might help.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Calm your nerves.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
A story say about.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
A man who found a new and amazing way of
hiding from the police. I call the story the Man
who Played Dead. My story The Man who Played Dead
(00:52):
begins in the dimly lighted interior of a strange.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Room in a big amusement park.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
The room is a waxworks museum known as the Chamber
of Horrors, and wax figures of history's most diabolical murderers
stand motionless all about it. The only living figure is
the proprietor Pop Molloy, who moves slowly from dummy to dummy,
dusting them in preparation for the big spring opening. As
(01:20):
Pop approaches a figure in a dark corner, the figure
unexpectedly speaks to.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Him, all right, put up your hands Morgan Burke. Morgan's
Morgan and not a dummy either.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
But I don't understand you were in prison. You're supposed
to go to the electric chair tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I was supposed to, but it broke out sea after
they had me all prepared for the hot seat.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
What do you want here?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Just to hide for a while. The cops are right
behind me. So since this is the only place in
the park open, I slept in ten minutes ago when
your back was turned.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
There's no place to hide here. There's just this one
big roule.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
No arguments. You go ahead of me while I look around.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
All right, look around? Say there's no place to hide again.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I'll find one. Hey, these three dummies here, they looked
like my old partners, Joe Norton, Marty Phillips, Tony Benson.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Yes, Burke, that's who they're supposed to be when you
shut in the back last year.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
What do you got them standing around this phony electric
chair for?
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Why you see too? Tomorrow? I was gonna make up
a dummy of Eyburg in the city in an electric chair.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Then I was gonna put up a sign saying execution
of Burke Morgan on the night of May first, nineteen forty.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Four, as his murdered partners look on.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Why you don't you like it? Hm, you're a little previous, Pop.
I'm not sitting in any hot seat tonight, No, I
guess not.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
It was a cute idea, though, too cute.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Hey, their faces seemed to shine in the dark. What
causes that?
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Why you see? I painted him with phosphorus paint.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
The idea was the mightes id be turned down low
and the customers would see their faces shining in the
darkness the way they do now. See they were ghosts.
Give the yolkles a big king. Somebody's doors an officer,
he's coming in.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Hey, Papa, listen, I'm.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Gonna stand right here, absolutely still, in the shadows here
like a dummy. You get rid of me, he spots me.
I'll plug and get it. I get it.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Hey, they come in.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
Oh it's you, friend, say Pap, did you know that
Burk Morgan's on the loose?
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Crazy?
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Yeah, And in some place in this park somebody smuggl
him a big shot of cocaine and a gun at
the prison and he glasses his way out an hour ago.
That's bad, I'll say it's bad, but we'll get him
or it's hard to shoot on sight. And I'm hey.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Pap, what is it? He dummy back there?
Speaker 5 (03:35):
It moved just now, No, No, it couldn't ice.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Hear it move.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
I'm going to have a look at that dummy get away.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
You killed him.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
If you want to stay alive, you better listen fast.
There'll be more cops here in a second, but they
won't find me because I'm gonna hide right out and
play in sight pretending to be myself.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
What do you mean, I'm.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Hiding right here in this little imitation electric chair of
yours sea. I'm gonna play the part of a dummy again.
I'm gonna pretend to be myself in the great electrocution
of Bert Morgan. Oh oh, I see this time. I
won't move either, because I'll be sitting down. They are
at the door. You'll tell them to come in, and
don't forget. I've got a loaded gun right here beside me.
(04:19):
Stay close to me, or I'll much have it and
make it good. Pop, make it awful.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Good, Doctor Weird, I'm breathless.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
You mean the beginning of my story as you excited?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Well, yes, but it isn't only your story that leaves
me breathless, doctor, it's those Adam hats so many men
are wearing this season. Gentlemen, I honestly don't whether you'll
see hats with more distinctive styles, fine quality material, and
bright jaunny shades. They're like a new breath of light
and such variety. Gentlemen, you find most every shape and
(04:56):
model in the new hats now on display at the
thousands of Adam hat stores and authorized dealers from coast
to coast. So get into the swing of things. Why
your new Adam tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Now back to doctor Weir, and now I'll continue my
story the man who played dead. With Burke Morgan hiding
in plain sight by pretending to be a wax dummy,
the three policemen would come running at the sound of
the shots, who completely deceived, and Pop told them that
(05:33):
the dead officer on the floor, who's just another wax dummy,
and they believed him well. After warning him to be
on the alert, they left and Bert Morgan chuckled as
the door closed behind him.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Good work, Pop, But you're not through yet.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Look at that squad car They park right outside the door.
If I even get out of this chair, the driver
can look right in and see me here. I get
that right, he can. Since this is the only place
I have to hide, I'm gonna sit right here until
the search is over. Yes, the bus war again, you bet,
I am, and you sit down right there. Okay, now,
I'm gonna sit here, and you're gonna sit there until
(06:12):
they give up hunting for me. If they come in
against all me. If you try to move without permission,
I'll blaster. I won't move.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I don't wanna die.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
H that's being smart it Popy. You haven't got a
shot of dope on? You have? You no margain?
Speaker 5 (06:28):
What's the matter of nerves getting jumping?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
None of your business? And I'll settle down.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
We got some waiting to do. The two men settled
themselves to wait. Burke Morgan sat in rigid silence, ever alert.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
For the return of the police.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Half an hour passed, then an hour. He's taut nerves
cried aloud for the drog they crave.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
His muscles twitch.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Two hours pass and Burke Morgan's tortured nerves were screaming.
The three waxen faces, which pot molloy had covered with
phosphorous paint, glowed in a ghostly fashion.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Before his eyes, and then Burke Morgan.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Burke Morgan thought he heard an easy voice speak to him,
Burck Burck.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
But malloy, did you say something now, Pops asleep? It's
just my nerves. I Burt Horgan, who's had my name ninety.
I did Burke your old Powell Chill nort Norton. Norton's dead.
I killed him. It's my nerves, the spook's room in
(07:42):
those faces. I got to get a grip on myself
to Phillips, is here too, Burke? No, Tony said too.
I'm not hearing anything. I'm not.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
He doesn't know us, he doesn't recognize his old pairs.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
He killed us, and you won't even speak to us.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
Look at us Berg standing here in front of you.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Don't you recognize us? Now? No, you're dead, You're just
wax dummies. You're not real.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
How can we be talking if you weren't real?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
You're not talking to me, just my nerves, just my nerves.
I talk, go away, But we're never going away, Burk.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
We're waiting for you to die and you'll be with
us again.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
No, I don't believe it. This is popping my life.
Waxworks museum and you're you're all just three wax dummies.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Ab bark. But did you ever hear a wax dummy
talk before? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:33):
That you've seen us and heard his.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Perculas seeing you in a way you go along ways.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
No, we're with you're waiting for you to die, waiting for.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
You to die.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
No a lot lately, haven't you no dead nightmares about it?
Speaker 5 (08:48):
You be worrying about what would happen after you die.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
And now you know that we'll be.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Waiting for you. No get away from the killers.
Speaker 7 (08:56):
Wants to be rid of us, But now.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
You can never be rid of us.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
I can.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
I'll show you. I'll go away because I'm killed.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
You, I'm killed, do you hear?
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (09:19):
So you see, Lieutenant Burke Morgan was covering me with
a gun the whole time, and I know he should
if I made a move, so I pretended to be
asleep in the wind. I could see his nerves for
a jump because he wanted more cocaine, and I figured
that maybe were the dummies of the Palasi murders standing
there and looking like ghosts, he might crack.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
I see, it's just about giving up hope.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Though, when he started talking out loud, as if he
could hear those dummies talking to him, and all at
once he lost control of herself.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
And emptied his gun at him, and then I ran
for the door.
Speaker 7 (09:53):
Yeah, lieutenant, as soon as I heard the shots and pop, Yeah,
I I'm busting in, and you know, Burke Morgan had fanded, Yeah,
fainted dead away there in that fake electric chair. So
I handcuffed him, and there he is not even come
to yet.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
I see.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
I'd hate to have to sit here myself looking at
those three green faces glowing in front of me. Not
surprised Morgan cracked.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
I mean neither the green faces on them three dummies
give me the creeps. And my conscience ain't bothering me either.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
Well, anyway, I'm glad we've cut him.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
I can go.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Ahead with my plans for my exhibit, you know, execution
the Burt Morgan as his murdered partners look on, I
wouldn't want to waste all that fuss, fresh and painty goose.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
That's one way you're looking at.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Well, we'll take him away now, we fa come here, Yes, lieutenant, Ah,
it looks like you're gonna have even a bigger thing
in this exhibit of yours.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
And you ever figured on I don't understand, lieutenant, what
do you mean?
Speaker 6 (10:52):
I mean that Burt Morgan's fright when he thought those
dummies were talking to him was too much.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
For his drug weakened heart. Okay, he is insane.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
That he's dead.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
What dead in the electric chair.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
And right on schedule.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
So Bert Morgan died in the electric chair, just as
the law said he would. Apparently fate had decreed that
he was to die that way, and nothing he could do.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Could change it.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
But then, wax works museums are rather frightening places, even
when you haven't got a lot of murders on your conscience.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I don't remember a perfectly.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Innocent young man who got locked in one and in
the morning he, oh, you have to go now, who'll
Perhaps you'll drop in again soon. Just look for the
house on the other side of the cemetery, the house
of doctor Weird
Speaker 3 (12:07):
H.

Speaker 6 (10:10):
I'd hate to have to sit here myself looking at
those three green faces glowing in front of me. Not
surprised Morgan cracked.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
I mean neither the green faces on them three dummies
