Which they dare not speak.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
The Whistler's strange story gratitude.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
The water surge were the impact of the terrific struggle
going on below its surface. Men tugged and pulled at
one another, swirled and twisted free, then locked together again,
and the struggle became even more intense.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Two men, one young and strong.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
The other older and fighting with all a waning strength
left in him. Finally, the young man clutched the older
one and pushed.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Up to the gurgling surface of the water, held him at.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Arm's length, and landed a crashing blow to the older
man's chin. The struggle was over, and the young man's
faant and breathless in the ordeal, slowly towed the limp
form of.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
The older man to the water's edge.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
The small crowd which had gathered closed around him, and
the older man.
Speaker 1 (01:38):

Speaker 3 (01:46):
You okay, Cliff, Sure.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
They're working on him.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
You'll be fine, Cliff.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
And if I know sittle Rent, you'll never forget you
for saving his life.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yes, Cliff, you've done a fine thing. You've saved a
man's life. Not just an ordinary man either. You've saved
the life of Sid Lorenz, the famous and fabulously wealthy
motion picture producer, and the studio's buzzing with the account
of Sid's fall from the superstructure on the set into
the tank and the courageous efforts of the stuntman.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
On the picture who saved you.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
You, Cliff, It feels good to be a hero, doesn't it,
And you're certain that Sid will reward you handsomely for
saving his life. Several evenings later, you're the guest of
honor at a party in Sid's beautiful hillside home. Helen's
with you, Helen Aim the pretty little movie extra beaming
its pride.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Listen, everyone, listen.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Can you all hear me?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Ah?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
Pose a toast to the man who risked his life
to save mine. My eternal gratitude to Cliff Garner.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Thanks Paul, not at all, Cliff. Okay, everybody, how about
some dancing now? Huhd on, Cliff, you and Helen dance.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
I want you youngsters to enjoy yourself.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
We will come on, Cliff, I want to dance with
a hero.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Huh oh for sure? Sure?
Speaker 7 (03:31):
Anything wrong? You don't act like a man of the I.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Don't feel much like an inn.
Speaker 8 (03:38):
Let's forget it.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
You expected more than a toast, didn't you, Cliff, the
smile the gratitude said expressed you expected something more tangible
than that, and you disappointed. The evening wears on and
you're settlement. Helen sensors your disappointment, but she says nothing.
You grow sick of the sight of well dressed people
of the wealth.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
The means all around.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
You sid lavish home, is lavish friends, and his eternal
gratitude to you, the.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Man who saved his life.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
And then about midnight you find yourself in the library
with Helen, said, than several of his close friends.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
See the much a new picture. I have a couple
of problems. I don't like it. Back, Sam, I'm on
a vacation.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
Oh are you then?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Just a palm springs for a month and things.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
I need a rep who had been for Cliff here
you might have gotten that long wretch as I know.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
I know I owe Cliff a lot.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
I forget it, said I didn't do much.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Oh, yes you did, and I won't forget it. Of course.
I've thought about it a great deal. You know you
can't offer a friend money for saving your life. Besides,
I know that a guy who risks his life for
a friend wouldn't want money for it. But you can
be sure of one thing, Cliff, You'll always have a
job with me. Good job.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Oh, thanks, that's it, that's fine, fine, I certainly appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Oh, you don't have to thank me for anything. Oh
say you both ever know how Cliff and I happened
to get together. Well, when I first met him, he
was a college student getting a degree in literature, wasn't
it Cliff, Yeah, that's right, medieval literas one of his.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Professors recommended him to me.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
When I was doing a period picture, and Cliff helped
us keep it authentic, and he did too, did.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
A good job.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
Well, why you switch the stunning Cliff money.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
After Uncle Sam made a paratrooperotomy, I found out I
could do more tricks with my body than I could
with my mind and get more for it. Medieval literature
doesn't pay much rench a no, but it's a great
wealth to have your knowledge of literature.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Oh, by the way, that reminds me.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
I want to show you people something or you will
especially appreciate this cliff.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
No, I haven't shown them to many people.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Well, you'll have to move back a bit and move
back to the cliff.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
The walls safe light behind you. Oh, oh, that's all right,
that's all right. I'll let me see here.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Your eyes follow the movement of Sid's hand as he.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Worked the combination of the wall safe without consciously meaning you,
your mind registers the exact movements that he makes eight right,
ten left, twelve right, three left, and then consciously this
time you repeat the numbers in your mind until you've memorized,
and as soon as you can, you'll write them down
(06:31):
while they're still fresh in your mind. It it is
taking something from the safe and has brought it over
to a better light than you. Follow him, suddenly quite
secure in your new knowledge.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Ah, there there are original German manuscripts. How's that for
a medieval treasure cliff?
Speaker 8 (06:49):
A wonderful city? God Freed von Strassburg.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Twelfth century Germanic poets, Carl von Zummer, Austrian philosopher, a
Flemming and the real thing all right said, I.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Knew you'd appreciate them.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
I paid one hundred thousand for them, and I wouldn't
sell them for a million.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
You know, the yellowed manuscripts are worth all of one
hundred thousand dollars, don't you.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Clinton.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
You recognize their value immediately, and a plan begins to
form in your mind.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
You know, the combination of.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
The wall safe where Sid has returned the medieval manuscripts,
and Sid's leaving the next day for Palm Springs, taking
the help with it. Somehow, the fact that Sid didn't
reward you financially for saving his life is.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Easier to take now, isn't it, Glint. You think about
it as you drive Helen Holme from the party.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
Well wonderful party, wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Yeah, fine party.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
Nice of mister Lorenz, who guarantee you are Jos as
long as he leaves.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
That's what he said for That's what he said.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
You know, Cliff, I suppose this sounds terrible, but I
really think he should have given you a reward money.
Is it awful of me to feel that way?
Speaker 5 (08:19):
I wouldn't worry about it.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Oh, I'm sorry, Cliff.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
I guess it shouldn't bother me. If it doesn't bother you.
It doesn't bother you, doesn't.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
No, why should it?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
No, it doesn't bother you, Cliff, because you've already decided
to take your own reward from Sid Lorette. It's a
simple plan, and early the next evening you put your
plan into action. You drop by Helen's to break your
date with her for that night, and then you drive
to Sid's hillside home.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
You park your car down the road quietly make.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Your way along the high hedge towards the house. Suddenly
you hear footsteps ahead of you, and you crouch back
into the hedge. A flashlight penetrates the darkness at the
entrance of the house, and then you see the old
caretaker on his regular tour of the ground. He turns,
goes off across the terrace and you hear his footsteps slowly.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Die away in the distance, and then you move quickly
to the side of the house.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
In the library, windows, horses, screens, then the window, and
you're inside. In a matter of minutes. You have the
manuscripts in your hands and you reprace your steps hurriedly
back to the car.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
Hello, so you stole the monok.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Why did you do it? Everything was going smoothly, wasn't it, Cliff,
(10:09):
Everything until you found Helen waiting for you in your car.
You had entered Sid Lorenz's home unnoticed, removed his priceless medieval.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Manuscripts from the wall.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Safe your idea of what Sid might have given you
for saving his life. But now there's Helen to contently,
what's the idea of her?
Speaker 8 (10:28):
Why did you call me here?
Speaker 7 (10:29):
Because I was afraid you might do this last night.
You didn't seem very concerned that Sid Lorenz hadn't given
you a reward, any money. I mean you weren't mad enough, Cliff,
or heard enough. And I noticed how closely you watched
it when he opened his wall safe worried me. And
tonight when you came by and broke our date, I
(10:50):
just knew i'd find you here, so I.
Speaker 8 (10:53):
Came to in text, come on, we're going to go
out of here.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Riv.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
You've got to take the manuscripts back. You don't want
to steal.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
I did please listen?
Speaker 7 (11:02):
You're too nice of God, listen to me.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
I didn't ask you in on this just deal his mind.
It says these manuscripts are worth a hundred thousand bucks.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
So that's great with me. Now I've got them, I
won't have any trouble dumping them for a quick fifty
thousand dollars. You just forget you tagged along tonight.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
I won't forget them. I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
I know about it, but I and will you be reasonable?
Speaker 8 (11:26):
I did this guy a big favor.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I saved this fat neck.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
What does he do?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Nothing?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (11:31):
I know I can always have a job with him
as long as he lives. Let's just dandy. Oh, I
like this job better for fifty Cliff, it just isn't right.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
You can't do it. Nothing's worth the risk your take,
not worth hiding the rest of your life. But I
warn you, if the police questioned me about this, I'll
have to tell them the truth. I'll talk.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I'll have to.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
We but.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
I am be sure they get back in the stafe.
Speaker 8 (12:04):
Don't you come on before I changed.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
My mind, And once again, Cliff, you'll make your way
across the grounds.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Of the Lorenza State.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
The two of you moved cautiously past the long row
of trees, then out over the broad expanse of long
bathed in bright moonlight, and then.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Just as you reach the path to the terrace.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Care taker, this way, let's get.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Out of here, Let's go.
Speaker 8 (13:05):
Else, sweetheart. You satisfied you almost got.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
As caught you?
Speaker 7 (13:11):
Do you think you recognized it?
Speaker 8 (13:12):
You didn't get close enough of there?
Speaker 7 (13:14):
What are we gonna do now?
Speaker 8 (13:15):
Exactly nothing?
Speaker 7 (13:16):
Manuscript?
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Look, have you think I'm going back there now?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
You're crazy?
Speaker 6 (13:19):
But you've got to.
Speaker 7 (13:21):
You've got to put them back, not on your life clip,
I warn your breath.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
There's nothing you can do about it. Now, What do
you mean you're involved in this just as much as
I am. The caretaker will remember seeing two people run
from the house, a man and a woman.
Speaker 8 (13:42):
Now you won't turn me in?
Speaker 7 (13:45):
What I had nothing to do with stealing the manuscript?
Speaker 5 (13:48):
I know that, But the police won't.
Speaker 8 (13:53):
Clear sweetheart.
Speaker 7 (13:55):
Yes, Claire, you've made it very clear.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
You're sure you have nothing to fear from her.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Now Claire Ellen will have to keep quiet, won't she,
because she knows you'll involve her in the theft if
she talks. The two of you drive into town who
are apartment without speaking another word.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Then you return to your cottage at Santa Monica. Good
night's rest.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
In the following morning, you hurry downtown to the Moncreeth
Art gallerries to visit an old college friend.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Why, sir, maya, Well, what do you know, you.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Old son of a gun?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
How are you fine?
Speaker 8 (14:43):
How's the art business?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Say? I am quet?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
See what brings you wrong?
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Practice? Something you once said about your boss is that
he buys and sells and never asks too many questions.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Oh, perhaps I gave you the wrong impression of mister moncre.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
For sure, he operates a legit business, But how much
you said he isn't against picking up a buck now?
And then that isn't quite so legit.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Oh you'll have to be as well.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
I think you'll find it worth well. Let me just
get back there to his office, so I might like
to have a little chat with him. All right, wait here,
I must have mind brave you satisfied their genuine Indeed, indeed.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
May I ask how you were?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (15:37):
I got the manuscripts? Isn't very important?
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
In the contrary, it quite importantly.
Speaker 8 (15:41):
I understand. But there's nothing to worry about there. It
won't be missed for at least a month.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
You are certain.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
I'm certain the owner will be back in town until
the twenty fifth. Then who knows when he'll look into
his sin?
Speaker 6 (15:57):
But then, well that's timing.
Speaker 8 (15:58):
Now I was sold a lot of them, was worth
one hundred grand.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Not on the market.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
I'll have no, no, not.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
What do you think you can get for them?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Ooh?
Speaker 8 (16:08):
Possibly sixty thousand?
Speaker 3 (16:12):
What's your current?
Speaker 8 (16:15):
You are high price, don't you? Okay? Thirty percent?
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Leave the manuscript with me.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I'll I'll call you a few days. You'll leave, man creep,
drive back to your cottage.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
And you wonder if it wasn't a mistake turning the
manuscripts over to him, don't you, clive?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Thirty percent? His share is more than you counted.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
On, isn't it. In the days that follow you wait
for some word from him, and then one evening he
paid you a visit.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
How about a drink? Oh?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
No, thank you? No, no no, I only stopped by
for a moment to return this.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
What is it?
Speaker 6 (17:00):
The manucapts? I discovered they belong to see Lorentz? So
what in our agreement? I wish to have a month
in which the disclosure.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Sure, sure, I told you Lorenz won't be back into
the twenty fifth.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
You haven't seen the evening paper, you know, Mitche Lorentz
died of a heart attack in Palm Strangers after m Yes,
you know our course.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
The estate will have to be settled in a few days.
His loyals will be poking her owl.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
And that's safe Hill discovered the manuscripts are gone exactly.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
And when that news breaks, mister Ghana, I don't want
to have them on my hand. I get you put
the manuscripts away before you answer the doorbell.
Speaker 8 (17:41):
M h, hello, chick, how it's you?
Speaker 7 (17:49):
Have you seen the papers? Lorenze?
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Mister I really must be going. Sorry, we couldn't do business.
Speaker 8 (17:57):
We can't figure out sign.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Afraid not good night clip?
Speaker 7 (18:01):
Who is he? Have you heard about mister Wren?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yes, yes, I heard about the.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
Oh cliff, you've got to return the manuscript again. But
how do you know the caretaker didn't recognize us that night.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
I don't luck they had. We'd have heard about it
by now, wouldn't we.
Speaker 7 (18:16):
Oh, please, while there's still time, take them back.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I'll help you.
Speaker 7 (18:20):
I'll do anything you said.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Let me alone, will you helen?
Speaker 7 (18:22):
If they find you with the manuscripts, it'll mean prison.
Don't you understand prison?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
I'm yacking.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
I want to think.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yes, You've got to think it out, Cliff, make up
your mind what to do. You can put the manuscripts
back into the safe where they belong, have nothing more
to worry about. Or you can keep them, hide them
somewhere and dispose of them once the affair blows over. Later,
after you've dropped Helen in her apartment, you find yourself
driving into the residential district, past the Lorenz estate are
(19:00):
and seemingly deserted, turn around, drive by it again and again,
trying to make up your mind what to do with
the roll of stolen manuscripts in your overcoat pocket.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Then you make your decision.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
You turn into the main highway and head back to
your cottage in Santa Monica. You know now that you
can't give up the manuscripts, not when there worth fifty
thousand dollars to you. The news of the theft is
in the papers that weekend, isn't it. Cript Yes, the
(19:35):
loss of the Lorenz manuscripts has been discovered by his lawyers.
There's a mention too of the old caretaker in the
news story, the fact that he saw a man and
woman running from the house one night last week, and
you're relieved to learn that he's unable to give a
description of the tools. Several times that day you try
to check with Helen by telephone, but she doesn't answer.
(19:57):
Following morning, you receive a surprise visitor. Mister Moncreek, I see.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
Where the paper's mister Ghana, the priest a bao.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
They have no leeds at all?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Still have the manuscript?
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Sure?
Speaker 8 (20:11):
Why?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Well?
Speaker 6 (20:12):
The mules of the teft has created considerable interest among
several of my old clients.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
They all seem quite anxious to buy the manuscripts. Yes,
one of them. I mean Europe has made a very.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
Tempting offer, sixty five thousand. I believe if you take it,
that is a very tempting offer.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
But what do you say, mister Ghana?
Speaker 8 (20:32):
Real anxious?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Now?
Speaker 8 (20:33):
Aren't you not as cautious as you were?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (20:36):
But I am. We won't close the dingle now, We'll
wait a while and say three months, until you are
fair cooled off.
Speaker 8 (20:41):
In the meantime, you hold on to the manucts you
still want.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
Yes, as long as I'm gonna have to wait that long,
I might want to shop around find someone else to
handle this stee.
Speaker 8 (20:53):
A little smaller percentage. I don't think you will have
no harm to try it. Don't get me wrong. I'd
like to have you hand and stand.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
You're a very good man, but I still want to
shop around unless you want to sell it up right here, Mara,
take twenty percent.
Speaker 8 (21:09):
That's all yours, Oh dear, did.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
I do hate to hagle really high?
Speaker 5 (21:13):
If your client will pay sixty five, he'll pay seventy.
You can feel the extra five grand off the top.
Speaker 8 (21:19):
Add a year percentage. At least it would pay your
expenses to Europe. Yes, that could I You probably had
it in mind all alone, all right, mister ganas to
do fine, You're sure nothing will go wrong.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Don't leave it to me, mister Gunne, just leave everything
to me. Hold on to the manuscription until I asked
for them.
Speaker 8 (21:40):
You have around fifty thousand in cash before the year's out.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
I problems.
Speaker 8 (21:43):
You love the sand of your voice, man Graef, When
you speak like that.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Love it. It's worked out perfectly, hasn't it clipped? You've
(22:15):
only to wait a few months or so.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Moncrief will dispose of the manuscripts for you, and you'll
receive over fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
You smile as you realize how close you came.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
To losing it all if you had listened to Helen,
if you'd replaced the manuscripts in the safe. Instead, you
decided to keep them and gamble.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
And now that gamble is going to pay off.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
After Moncrief has left your cottage, you can't resist taking
the manuscripts from your desk drawer and looking at them.
You settle down in the big easy chair with a
fireplace and congratulate yourself. Suddenly you sit up as you
hear a car stop outside your cottage.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
You move quickly to the window.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
Police car.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Panic sweeps over you as you see two men step
out of the police car and start down the path
towards your cottage.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
They're coming here, Helen. She told them, She must have
told them.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
If they.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Mean, don't you understand?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Your eyes dart around the room, looking for a place
to hide the stolen manuscripts.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
But it's too late, isn't it. You don't have time.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
In a split second, you make your decision. It's the
last thing you want to do, but you throw the
manuscripts into the fire. You stand there, helplessly watch them
go up in flames. It takes but a moment and
then they're gone. Fifty thousand dollars. But that's better than
going to prison, isn't it. Yes, the police can prove,
(23:48):
nothing can made clar.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Yes, we're gonna fletch your police department. Come in.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
This is mister Jepson, mister Lawrence's lawyer. We came about
the Lorenz manuscripts.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Mister Garner.
Speaker 8 (24:10):
You must have read about them in the papers they
were sure, I've thought about it.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
We just dropped by to give you a report on
how we're making out. Don't worry, mister Garner. We'll find
them for you.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
For me.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Oh, you didn't know, mister Lorenz didn't tell you before
his death.
Speaker 8 (24:28):
Tell me what why? Mister Lorenz left the manuscripts.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
To you in his will in gratitude for your having
saved his life. The whistler has just brought you another
of his strange tales through the facilities of the United
States arm Forces Radio Service, The Voice of Information and
Education
Speaker 6 (25:00):
SUS SUS
I am the whistler, and I know many things. For
I walk by night.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of
men and women who.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Are stepped into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless
terrors of.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Which they dare not speak.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
The Whistler's strange story gratitude.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
The water surge were the impact of the terrific struggle
going on below its surface. Men tugged and pulled at
one another, swirled and twisted free, then locked together again,
and the struggle became even more intense.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Two men, one young and strong.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
The other older and fighting with all a waning strength
left in him. Finally, the young man clutched the older
one and pushed.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Up to the gurgling surface of the water, held him at.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Arm's length, and landed a crashing blow to the older
man's chin. The struggle was over, and the young man's
faant and breathless in the ordeal, slowly towed the limp
form of.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
The older man to the water's edge.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
The small crowd which had gathered closed around him, and
the older man.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Was lifted to safety. The young man, Cliff Garner.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Sat exhausted at the water's edge, his eyes fixed on
the limp form.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
You okay, Cliff, Sure.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
They're working on him.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
You'll be fine, Cliff.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
And if I know sittle Rent, you'll never forget you
for saving his life.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yes, Cliff, you've done a fine thing. You've saved a
man's life. Not just an ordinary man either. You've saved
the life of Sid Lorenz, the famous and fabulously wealthy
motion picture producer, and the studio's buzzing with the account
of Sid's fall from the superstructure on the set into
the tank and the courageous efforts of the stuntman.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
On the picture who saved you.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
You, Cliff, It feels good to be a hero, doesn't it,
And you're certain that Sid will reward you handsomely for
saving his life. Several evenings later, you're the guest of
honor at a party in Sid's beautiful hillside home. Helen's
with you, Helen Aim the pretty little movie extra beaming
its pride.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Listen, everyone, listen.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Can you all hear me?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Ah?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
Pose a toast to the man who risked his life
to save mine. My eternal gratitude to Cliff Garner.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Thanks Paul, not at all, Cliff. Okay, everybody, how about
some dancing now? Huhd on, Cliff, you and Helen dance.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
I want you youngsters to enjoy yourself.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
We will come on, Cliff, I want to dance with
a hero.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Huh oh for sure? Sure?
Speaker 7 (03:31):
Anything wrong? You don't act like a man of the I.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Don't feel much like an inn.
Speaker 8 (03:38):
Let's forget it.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
You expected more than a toast, didn't you, Cliff, the
smile the gratitude said expressed you expected something more tangible
than that, and you disappointed. The evening wears on and
you're settlement. Helen sensors your disappointment, but she says nothing.
You grow sick of the sight of well dressed people
of the wealth.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
The means all around.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
You sid lavish home, is lavish friends, and his eternal
gratitude to you, the.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Man who saved his life.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
And then about midnight you find yourself in the library
with Helen, said, than several of his close friends.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
See the much a new picture. I have a couple
of problems. I don't like it. Back, Sam, I'm on
a vacation.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
Oh are you then?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Just a palm springs for a month and things.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
I need a rep who had been for Cliff here
you might have gotten that long wretch as I know.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
I know I owe Cliff a lot.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
I forget it, said I didn't do much.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Oh, yes you did, and I won't forget it. Of course.
I've thought about it a great deal. You know you
can't offer a friend money for saving your life. Besides,
I know that a guy who risks his life for
a friend wouldn't want money for it. But you can
be sure of one thing, Cliff, You'll always have a
job with me. Good job.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Oh, thanks, that's it, that's fine, fine, I certainly appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Oh, you don't have to thank me for anything. Oh
say you both ever know how Cliff and I happened
to get together. Well, when I first met him, he
was a college student getting a degree in literature, wasn't
it Cliff, Yeah, that's right, medieval literas one of his.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Professors recommended him to me.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
When I was doing a period picture, and Cliff helped
us keep it authentic, and he did too, did.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
A good job.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
Well, why you switch the stunning Cliff money.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
After Uncle Sam made a paratrooperotomy, I found out I
could do more tricks with my body than I could
with my mind and get more for it. Medieval literature
doesn't pay much rench a no, but it's a great
wealth to have your knowledge of literature.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Oh, by the way, that reminds me.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
I want to show you people something or you will
especially appreciate this cliff.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
No, I haven't shown them to many people.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Well, you'll have to move back a bit and move
back to the cliff.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
The walls safe light behind you. Oh, oh, that's all right,
that's all right. I'll let me see here.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Your eyes follow the movement of Sid's hand as he.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Worked the combination of the wall safe without consciously meaning you,
your mind registers the exact movements that he makes eight right,
ten left, twelve right, three left, and then consciously this
time you repeat the numbers in your mind until you've memorized,
and as soon as you can, you'll write them down
(06:31):
while they're still fresh in your mind. It it is
taking something from the safe and has brought it over
to a better light than you. Follow him, suddenly quite
secure in your new knowledge.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Ah, there there are original German manuscripts. How's that for
a medieval treasure cliff?
Speaker 8 (06:49):
A wonderful city? God Freed von Strassburg.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Twelfth century Germanic poets, Carl von Zummer, Austrian philosopher, a
Flemming and the real thing all right said, I.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Knew you'd appreciate them.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
I paid one hundred thousand for them, and I wouldn't
sell them for a million.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
You know, the yellowed manuscripts are worth all of one
hundred thousand dollars, don't you.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Clinton.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
You recognize their value immediately, and a plan begins to
form in your mind.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
You know, the combination of.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
The wall safe where Sid has returned the medieval manuscripts,
and Sid's leaving the next day for Palm Springs, taking
the help with it. Somehow, the fact that Sid didn't
reward you financially for saving his life is.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Easier to take now, isn't it, Glint. You think about
it as you drive Helen Holme from the party.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
Well wonderful party, wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Yeah, fine party.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
Nice of mister Lorenz, who guarantee you are Jos as
long as he leaves.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
That's what he said for That's what he said.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
You know, Cliff, I suppose this sounds terrible, but I
really think he should have given you a reward money.
Is it awful of me to feel that way?
Speaker 5 (08:19):
I wouldn't worry about it.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Oh, I'm sorry, Cliff.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
I guess it shouldn't bother me. If it doesn't bother you.
It doesn't bother you, doesn't.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
No, why should it?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
No, it doesn't bother you, Cliff, because you've already decided
to take your own reward from Sid Lorette. It's a
simple plan, and early the next evening you put your
plan into action. You drop by Helen's to break your
date with her for that night, and then you drive
to Sid's hillside home.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
You park your car down the road quietly make.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Your way along the high hedge towards the house. Suddenly
you hear footsteps ahead of you, and you crouch back
into the hedge. A flashlight penetrates the darkness at the
entrance of the house, and then you see the old
caretaker on his regular tour of the ground. He turns,
goes off across the terrace and you hear his footsteps slowly.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Die away in the distance, and then you move quickly
to the side of the house.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
In the library, windows, horses, screens, then the window, and
you're inside. In a matter of minutes. You have the
manuscripts in your hands and you reprace your steps hurriedly
back to the car.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
Hello, so you stole the monok.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Why did you do it? Everything was going smoothly, wasn't it, Cliff,
(10:09):
Everything until you found Helen waiting for you in your car.
You had entered Sid Lorenz's home unnoticed, removed his priceless medieval.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Manuscripts from the wall.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Safe your idea of what Sid might have given you
for saving his life. But now there's Helen to contently,
what's the idea of her?
Speaker 8 (10:28):
Why did you call me here?
Speaker 7 (10:29):
Because I was afraid you might do this last night.
You didn't seem very concerned that Sid Lorenz hadn't given
you a reward, any money. I mean you weren't mad enough, Cliff,
or heard enough. And I noticed how closely you watched
it when he opened his wall safe worried me. And
tonight when you came by and broke our date, I
(10:50):
just knew i'd find you here, so I.
Speaker 8 (10:53):
Came to in text, come on, we're going to go
out of here.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Riv.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
You've got to take the manuscripts back. You don't want
to steal.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
I did please listen?
Speaker 7 (11:02):
You're too nice of God, listen to me.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
I didn't ask you in on this just deal his mind.
It says these manuscripts are worth a hundred thousand bucks.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
So that's great with me. Now I've got them, I
won't have any trouble dumping them for a quick fifty
thousand dollars. You just forget you tagged along tonight.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
I won't forget them. I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
I know about it, but I and will you be reasonable?
Speaker 8 (11:26):
I did this guy a big favor.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I saved this fat neck.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
What does he do?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Nothing?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (11:31):
I know I can always have a job with him
as long as he lives. Let's just dandy. Oh, I
like this job better for fifty Cliff, it just isn't right.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
You can't do it. Nothing's worth the risk your take,
not worth hiding the rest of your life. But I
warn you, if the police questioned me about this, I'll
have to tell them the truth. I'll talk.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I'll have to.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
We but.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
I am be sure they get back in the stafe.
Speaker 8 (12:04):
Don't you come on before I changed.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
My mind, And once again, Cliff, you'll make your way
across the grounds.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Of the Lorenza State.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
The two of you moved cautiously past the long row
of trees, then out over the broad expanse of long
bathed in bright moonlight, and then.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Just as you reach the path to the terrace.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Care taker, this way, let's get.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Out of here, Let's go.
Speaker 8 (13:05):
Else, sweetheart. You satisfied you almost got.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
As caught you?
Speaker 7 (13:11):
Do you think you recognized it?
Speaker 8 (13:12):
You didn't get close enough of there?
Speaker 7 (13:14):
What are we gonna do now?
Speaker 8 (13:15):
Exactly nothing?
Speaker 7 (13:16):
Manuscript?
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Look, have you think I'm going back there now?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
You're crazy?
Speaker 6 (13:19):
But you've got to.
Speaker 7 (13:21):
You've got to put them back, not on your life clip,
I warn your breath.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
There's nothing you can do about it. Now, What do
you mean you're involved in this just as much as
I am. The caretaker will remember seeing two people run
from the house, a man and a woman.
Speaker 8 (13:42):
Now you won't turn me in?
Speaker 7 (13:45):
What I had nothing to do with stealing the manuscript?
Speaker 5 (13:48):
I know that, But the police won't.
Speaker 8 (13:53):
Clear sweetheart.
Speaker 7 (13:55):
Yes, Claire, you've made it very clear.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
You're sure you have nothing to fear from her.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Now Claire Ellen will have to keep quiet, won't she,
because she knows you'll involve her in the theft if
she talks. The two of you drive into town who
are apartment without speaking another word.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Then you return to your cottage at Santa Monica. Good
night's rest.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
In the following morning, you hurry downtown to the Moncreeth
Art gallerries to visit an old college friend.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Why, sir, maya, Well, what do you know, you.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Old son of a gun?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
How are you fine?
Speaker 8 (14:43):
How's the art business?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Say? I am quet?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
See what brings you wrong?
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Practice? Something you once said about your boss is that
he buys and sells and never asks too many questions.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Oh, perhaps I gave you the wrong impression of mister moncre.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
For sure, he operates a legit business, But how much
you said he isn't against picking up a buck now?
And then that isn't quite so legit.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Oh you'll have to be as well.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
I think you'll find it worth well. Let me just
get back there to his office, so I might like
to have a little chat with him. All right, wait here,
I must have mind brave you satisfied their genuine Indeed, indeed.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
May I ask how you were?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (15:37):
I got the manuscripts? Isn't very important?
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
In the contrary, it quite importantly.
Speaker 8 (15:41):
I understand. But there's nothing to worry about there. It
won't be missed for at least a month.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
You are certain.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
I'm certain the owner will be back in town until
the twenty fifth. Then who knows when he'll look into
his sin?
Speaker 6 (15:57):
But then, well that's timing.
Speaker 8 (15:58):
Now I was sold a lot of them, was worth
one hundred grand.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Not on the market.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
I'll have no, no, not.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
What do you think you can get for them?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Ooh?
Speaker 8 (16:08):
Possibly sixty thousand?
Speaker 3 (16:12):
What's your current?
Speaker 8 (16:15):
You are high price, don't you? Okay? Thirty percent?
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Leave the manuscript with me.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I'll I'll call you a few days. You'll leave, man creep,
drive back to your cottage.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
And you wonder if it wasn't a mistake turning the
manuscripts over to him, don't you, clive?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Thirty percent? His share is more than you counted.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
On, isn't it. In the days that follow you wait
for some word from him, and then one evening he
paid you a visit.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
How about a drink? Oh?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
No, thank you? No, no no, I only stopped by
for a moment to return this.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
What is it?
Speaker 6 (17:00):
The manucapts? I discovered they belong to see Lorentz? So
what in our agreement? I wish to have a month
in which the disclosure.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Sure, sure, I told you Lorenz won't be back into
the twenty fifth.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
You haven't seen the evening paper, you know, Mitche Lorentz
died of a heart attack in Palm Strangers after m Yes,
you know our course.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
The estate will have to be settled in a few days.
His loyals will be poking her owl.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
And that's safe Hill discovered the manuscripts are gone exactly.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
And when that news breaks, mister Ghana, I don't want
to have them on my hand. I get you put
the manuscripts away before you answer the doorbell.
Speaker 8 (17:41):
M h, hello, chick, how it's you?
Speaker 7 (17:49):
Have you seen the papers? Lorenze?
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Mister I really must be going. Sorry, we couldn't do business.
Speaker 8 (17:57):
We can't figure out sign.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Afraid not good night clip?
Speaker 7 (18:01):
Who is he? Have you heard about mister Wren?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yes, yes, I heard about the.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
Oh cliff, you've got to return the manuscript again. But
how do you know the caretaker didn't recognize us that night.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
I don't luck they had. We'd have heard about it
by now, wouldn't we.
Speaker 7 (18:16):
Oh, please, while there's still time, take them back.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I'll help you.
Speaker 7 (18:20):
I'll do anything you said.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Let me alone, will you helen?
Speaker 7 (18:22):
If they find you with the manuscripts, it'll mean prison.
Don't you understand prison?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
I'm yacking.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
I want to think.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yes, You've got to think it out, Cliff, make up
your mind what to do. You can put the manuscripts
back into the safe where they belong, have nothing more
to worry about. Or you can keep them, hide them
somewhere and dispose of them once the affair blows over. Later,
after you've dropped Helen in her apartment, you find yourself
driving into the residential district, past the Lorenz estate are
(19:00):
and seemingly deserted, turn around, drive by it again and again,
trying to make up your mind what to do with
the roll of stolen manuscripts in your overcoat pocket.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Then you make your decision.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
You turn into the main highway and head back to
your cottage in Santa Monica. You know now that you
can't give up the manuscripts, not when there worth fifty
thousand dollars to you. The news of the theft is
in the papers that weekend, isn't it. Cript Yes, the
(19:35):
loss of the Lorenz manuscripts has been discovered by his lawyers.
There's a mention too of the old caretaker in the
news story, the fact that he saw a man and
woman running from the house one night last week, and
you're relieved to learn that he's unable to give a
description of the tools. Several times that day you try
to check with Helen by telephone, but she doesn't answer.
(19:57):
Following morning, you receive a surprise visitor. Mister Moncreek, I see.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
Where the paper's mister Ghana, the priest a bao.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
They have no leeds at all?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Still have the manuscript?
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Sure?
Speaker 8 (20:11):
Why?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Well?
Speaker 6 (20:12):
The mules of the teft has created considerable interest among
several of my old clients.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
They all seem quite anxious to buy the manuscripts. Yes,
one of them. I mean Europe has made a very.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
Tempting offer, sixty five thousand. I believe if you take it,
that is a very tempting offer.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
But what do you say, mister Ghana?
Speaker 8 (20:32):
Real anxious?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Now?
Speaker 8 (20:33):
Aren't you not as cautious as you were?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (20:36):
But I am. We won't close the dingle now, We'll
wait a while and say three months, until you are
fair cooled off.
Speaker 8 (20:41):
In the meantime, you hold on to the manucts you
still want.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
Yes, as long as I'm gonna have to wait that long,
I might want to shop around find someone else to
handle this stee.
Speaker 8 (20:53):
A little smaller percentage. I don't think you will have
no harm to try it. Don't get me wrong. I'd
like to have you hand and stand.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
You're a very good man, but I still want to
shop around unless you want to sell it up right here, Mara,
take twenty percent.
Speaker 8 (21:09):
That's all yours, Oh dear, did.

If your client will pay sixty five, he'll pay seventy.
You can feel the extra five grand off the top.

Add a year percentage. At least it would pay your
expenses to Europe. Yes, that could I You probably had
it in mind all alone, all right, mister ganas to
do fine, You're sure nothing will go wrong.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Don't leave it to me, mister Gunne, just leave everything
to me. Hold on to the manuscription until I asked
for them.

only to wait a few months or so.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Moncrief will dispose of the manuscripts for you, and you'll
receive over fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
You smile as you realize how close you came.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
To losing it all if you had listened to Helen,
if you'd replaced the manuscripts in the safe. Instead, you
decided to keep them and gamble.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
And now that gamble is going to pay off.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
After Moncrief has left your cottage, you can't resist taking
the manuscripts from your desk drawer and looking at them.
You settle down in the big easy chair with a
fireplace and congratulate yourself. Suddenly you sit up as you
hear a car stop outside your cottage.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
You move quickly to the window.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
Police car.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Panic sweeps over you as you see two men step
out of the police car and start down the path
towards your cottage.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
They're coming here, Helen. She told them, She must have
told them.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
If they.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Mean, don't you understand?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Your eyes dart around the room, looking for a place
to hide the stolen manuscripts.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
But it's too late, isn't it. You don't have time.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
In a split second, you make your decision. It's the
last thing you want to do, but you throw the
manuscripts into the fire. You stand there, helplessly watch them
go up in flames. It takes but a moment and
then they're gone. Fifty thousand dollars. But that's better than
going to prison, isn't it. Yes, the police can prove,
(23:48):
nothing can made clar.

his death.
