seful in the past was because in each case the audience was involved well dan grady was assigned to the smuggling detail and smuggling in san francisco means the oriental have a look at his office good wife and kid you see he was working on a smuggling detail yes sort of a roving commission the reason they gave it to them is because he was born and raised here in san francisco he knew every nook and cranny but the siemens clothes would indicate that he was working on something with waterfront ye
ah but what whoa look here what is that oh that's a rare piece of emerald jade as finest specimen as i've ever seen carved in the fashion of the ming dynasty but the art of that carving has been lost for hundreds of years this piece is worth two or three thousand dollars really dan was sure working on something hot probably that's why he was killed yes i have seen many similar in the past three months from the captured provinces even so from the ruined temple of lao ji is it not so torn from the

drowning it's an easy death but grady had two slugs in the back of his neck before he ever hit that water that's not so easy is it street if there is anything i can do for you my door open that door well hello street how'd you get in there the secret stairway in the haunted house secret stairway my eye those stairs were there when we bought the place but they still serve a very useful purpose this is hard way harry lockett mr wong oh the chinese copper precisely mr locket the chinese copper but
to return to our secret stairway i'm afraid we scared one of your callers away evidently he didn't care to meet my friend captain street seafood is our specialty mr wong that was probably kept from the fishing barge he saw i was busy and beat it that very adequately describes his exit he comes in that way because he doesn't like to go through the cafe closer to lightly fishy mr very fishy i get this hard way if i find out that anything happened to grady in this place i'm gonna tear it apart if
you ever do i'll help you come on goodbye mr locket goodbye mr wong oh sorry didn't know you were busy he's not because we're just leaving i beg your pardon that we've met before haven't we miss uh miss uh sir was the name but we haven't met i'm so sorry oh now i know what prompted my mistake i saw you sitting outside in a car with young mr belden what was he doing here we had dinner here do you mind excuse the boys from sarova but uh it's their business to be curious this is mr wong the famous

n us so great he was here last night what does that prove that the party's getting too rough for yours truly oh don't tell me mr always getting jittery huh sarova's getting out murder something i don't want any part of i'm through oh no you're not when you're through it will be because i tell you you're through are you threatening me maybe don't do it harry i know too much things uh happen to people who know too much yes they end up in the bay like a certain policeman that seafood gagger hard wa
ys was a hot one and the young lady who lost her compact more seafood a street outside what's her name i thought i told you to scram you're always telling me to scram well you're not gonna ride in a police car okay let me out and i'll put on my roller skate i tell you i don't like the setup i don't like any part of it when a dead copper spells trouble if this girl starts to talk yeah i think so too but this idea of mine is something entirely new in radio mr forbes nevertheless i'm a guest contin
uing the program but forbes beldens has had a radio program for years and it's been excellent advertising not excellent enough to keep you out of the receivership i represent the creditors and i cannot approve the expenditure but mr forbes i'm sure this new idea of mine will create a lot of interest that means customers for buildings i can only judge my past performance mr griswold results have not warranted the expense they all here yes but mr forbes this is a novelty a complete one-act play in
which i enact all the roles male and female you see mr forbes impersonation is my fault i think resistance is your fault well i tell you this is the type of program that's bound to create comment why not give it a chance just glance through this and you'll get the idea after the commercial the music fades out and you hear footsteps and a knock now read from there on pretty melodramatic isn't it but that's the kind of stuff they like nowadays mr forbes the highly dramatic programs are the most s
uccessful suppose we try for a couple of weeks it wouldn't cost a fortune and it might get results well all right we'll try it well thanks mr forbes i'm sure you won't be sorry we go on from 10 to 10 15 tonight i hope you're listening in we will those bills are all right i'll see you in the morning hello frank hello mr forbes i feeling dad oh as well as could be expected considering the fact that i don't have anything to say about my own business when are you gonna take me in with you not for a
while yet but then i've got to go to work i've got to make some money isn't your allowance enough no i'm going to get married who too that's sarova woman mr oba yes how did you know i haven't taken my eyes off you completely you've been out with that adventurous every night for a month i wouldn't talk like that if i were you dad we're both liable to be sorry for it besides it won't change my decision frank i won't permit you to wreck your life to throw away your entire future for the sake of tha
t scheming on stream that's enough i'm sorry you feel that way about it dad but there's nothing you can do about it you'll never marry that woman do you understand never morning sophie everything chip shade no sign of the police if that's what you mean oh why sophie that's the father's thing from my mind bring me the checks from last night eh hey have you been fooling around my desk me i wouldn't touch your stuff boss something missing yeah my gun see that ain't so good when'd you last see it bo
ss i don't know yesterday i guess i want to talk to you say what are you thinking of coming down here after what's happened i told you i'd get the stuff to you as soon as it was safe or kept to bring it in that isn't why i'm here i want to know what that sarova woman is doing running around with my son well i did my best you know after all it's not such a bad idea sort of a close corporation are you mad my boy has no part in all this i went into it because it was the only hope i had of saving my
business meeting my obligations but not the extent of wrecking his life and that's what this marriage would mean that's your problem right now i have more important things to do than nurse a lovesick pup if you value your neck you'll do something about it i'm warning you locket before i see this happen to my son i'll blast everything wide open including yourself including myself uh-huh i see you you like the idea of a few months on alcatraz i'll stop at nothing [Music] hello hello tania this is
harry i want to apologize the way i talked to you last night oh you know i couldn't mean it we were both a little uh jittery and unreasonable now listen tanya i uh i want to see you i have to talk over something with you i think you'd be interested all right i'll be in all evening goodbye i hope i didn't keep you waiting fancy well that's all right so don't mention [Music] it [Music] [Music] so oh i'm glad of that who was it sir i have the least idea but the shop came from there well we'll find
