1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,200
And now, Auto Light and its 60,000 dealers and service stations present...

2
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:12,200
Suspense!

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:26,200
Tonight, Auto Light brings you Charles Lawton in Day Mortuis, a suspense play produced and

4
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,480
directed by Anton M. Leder.

5
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:38,160
Friends, the Auto Light Company also presents the Auto Light Stay Full Battery, a powerful

6
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:41,640
package for practical people who prefer pep and performance.

7
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,880
Why, by Cornelius, the Auto Light Stay Full Battery is so different, delightful and de-lacking

8
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,200
in thirst, it needs water only three times a year in normal car use.

9
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,460
Yes, sir, Auto Light Stay Full is the battery with the big buoyant reservoir that needs

10
00:00:55,460 --> 00:00:59,120
water only three times a year in normal car use.

11
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,280
And Auto Light Stay Full Battery has an extra ample sample of aquapura.

12
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,660
It's as full of H2O as a Florida Orange is full of juice, a Texas grapefruit full of

13
00:01:07,660 --> 00:01:09,400
succulent sap.

14
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:10,920
So friends, here's the pitch.

15
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,440
Be right with Auto Light.

16
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:17,400
Switch to an Auto Light Stay Full Battery tomorrow.

17
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:25,280
And now, Auto Light presents Charles Lawton in a tale well calculated to keep you in suspense.

18
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:34,200
Now, a bit more there.

19
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:40,840
A touch of smoothing here.

20
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,000
And that's a job well done.

21
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,120
It's not a bad job for the village medic-o.

22
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,280
I don't think a mason could have done better.

23
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,480
Until the concrete hardens, I'd better...

24
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,440
Doc?

25
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,080
Dr. Rankin?

26
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,720
Hello?

27
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,000
Dr. Rankin?

28
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,720
Looks like there's no one home.

29
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,360
Must be someone here.

30
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,440
Nobody goes out and leaves the house open.

31
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,640
Oh, Dr. Wood, he trusts people.

32
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:19,640
We'd better give it up, George.

33
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:21,920
You'd think Irene would be about it.

34
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:25,080
Ah, she ought to be, by the looks of things.

35
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,280
But she's a bad'un.

36
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,720
I saw her again only last night with that commercial traveler.

37
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:30,720
George.

38
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:31,720
Dr. Mike would be downstairs.

39
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:32,720
The cellar door is open.

40
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:33,720
He'd think it rude.

41
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:34,720
Dr.?

42
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:35,720
Oh, there you are.

43
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:36,720
Didn't you hear us?

44
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:37,720
I thought I had someone.

45
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:38,720
I wasn't sure.

46
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,720
Well, we were going out after some partridge and I thought you'd like to come with us.

47
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,720
We wouldn't have come in the house, only George thought that seeing as the door was open and

48
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:49,720
all that someone was home.

49
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:50,720
Aye.

50
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:55,720
So we walked in and then I saw the cellar door open and down we came.

51
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,720
Where's Irene?

52
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,720
Irene?

53
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,720
Oh, she's gone visiting.

54
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,720
Oh, well then let's go shooting.

55
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,720
Oh, wet concrete.

56
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,720
Going in for a bit of masonry, Doc.

57
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,720
There's been some water spilling out.

58
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,720
It's an underground spring perhaps.

59
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:14,720
Underground spring?

60
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,720
Why, Doc, I sold you this house but I never heard of a spring beneath it.

61
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,720
Doc, it looks as though Greg built you.

62
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:22,720
It did.

63
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:23,720
Not Doc, I didn't.

64
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,720
You know when he came up from London a year ago I could tell right away that he was a

65
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:27,720
fine fellow.

66
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,720
When he and Irene wanted to get married I sold him the best house in the village.

67
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,720
Maybe it was only the rains, Greg.

68
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,720
Well, I don't know.

69
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,720
You certainly went deep enough, Doc.

70
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,720
You see, you've got a bit of clay on your shovel.

71
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,720
That's four feet down the clay.

72
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,720
Eighteen inches, George.

73
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,720
Not according to the maps.

74
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,720
Four feet it says on the Sudbury maps.

75
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,720
Well, there's no need to argue the toss.

76
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,720
Let's get on with our fouling before the partridge gets tired of waiting, eh, Doc?

77
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:54,720
Not today, boys.

78
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,720
I've got things to do.

79
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,720
Oh, well, we might as well get along.

80
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,720
How's Irene?

81
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,720
Oh, she's never been better.

82
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,720
She took the afternoon train to North Welsham.

83
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:09,720
To North Welsham?

84
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,720
Well, there's no afternoon train to North Welsham.

85
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,720
No more than the clay is only eighteen feet.

86
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,720
Did I, did I, did I say North Welsham?

87
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:19,720
I meant Norwich.

88
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,720
Oh, are you friends in Norwich, Doc?

89
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,720
Mrs. Slater, she lived next door when Irene was just a child over on Victoria Cross.

90
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,720
Slater, next door to Irene?

91
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:29,720
No.

92
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,720
Oh, that was a long time ago, Greg.

93
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:32,720
Oh, I see.

94
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,720
Oh, I've been in Sudbury all my life and I've known Irene all my life.

95
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,720
Never any Slaters on Victoria Cross, right, George?

96
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,720
Aye, I lived on Victoria Cross myself.

97
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,720
Clay's four feet down there, same as Eva.

98
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,720
Now, let's drop the whole thing.

99
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,720
Maybe the woman married again and that's why you don't recognize the name.

100
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,720
Oh, well, maybe.

101
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,720
Well, you'd better change your mind about the hunting, Doc.

102
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,720
Your wife's away on a visit.

103
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,720
You just finished filling a hole in the cellar and...

104
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,720
and... oh, good heavens, Doc.

105
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,720
You... you didn't.

106
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,720
Four feet down to the clay, that's what it is.

107
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,720
What are you two fools talking about?

108
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,720
Oh, it's not that you didn't have provocation, Doc.

109
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:12,720
We know that.

110
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,720
Provocation?

111
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,720
Are you suggesting that I... that I...

112
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,720
You stupid fools, you go get the constable and let him start digging.

113
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,720
Oh, now, hold on, Doc.

114
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,720
It's not as if we mind that it could ever be called justified.

115
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,720
This is it. Aye.

116
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:30,720
We could have told you.

117
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,720
I warned you about the bad houses to buy, not half I did.

118
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,720
But when it comes to marriage, well, we all knew Irene.

119
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,720
The Sudbury baggage. That's what we used to call her.

120
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,720
When a fine chap like you comes along and fixes to marry her,

121
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,720
well, you want to say something, but... but what?

122
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:46,720
But what, I ask you.

123
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,720
It's not like buying a house, it ain't.

124
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,720
I suppose I am rather old for Irene.

125
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,720
Well, you could be a young'un and it'll be just the same thing, Doc.

126
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,720
Not everyone wants the same thing.

127
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,720
I'm a sort of a dry chap and I don't open up easily.

128
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,720
And Irene, well, you could call her kind of gay.

129
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,720
Aye, that's one word.

130
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,720
She's no housekeeper, I know that, and that's not the only thing a man wants.

131
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:09,720
She enjoys herself.

132
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:10,720
That she did.

133
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,720
And that's what I love about her. She's not very deep mentally.

134
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,720
Well, all right, you can say she's stupid, I don't care.

135
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,720
She's lazy, no system.

136
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,720
Well, I've got plenty of system, enough for both of us.

137
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,720
She's enjoyed herself and it's beautiful and innocent like a woman.

138
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,720
She's beautiful and innocent like a child.

139
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:26,720
If that was all...

140
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,720
But you two seem to know that there was more.

141
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,720
Why, everyone knows it.

142
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,720
George, you just tell him what you saw at the pub.

143
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,720
Aye, you know me, Doc.

144
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,720
I'm no pub crawler.

145
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,720
I'm a single potter.

146
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,720
But every night the past week, when I've gone in for my potter veil,

147
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,720
she's been there and with that Ari Manning, the commercial traveler,

148
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,720
who's been at the Lion, everybody's seen her.

149
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,720
The village will be on your side, Doc.

150
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:53,720
Why?

151
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,720
Not that it'll mean much if it comes to a trial.

152
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,720
What shall I do?

153
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,720
Well, we all make mistakes, Doc.

154
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,720
You know, in a way, we got you into it by not saying anything before you married her.

155
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,720
And the way I see it, well, it's sort of up to us to help get you out of it.

156
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,720
That right, George?

157
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,720
Aye, still, there's such a thing as being an accomplice.

158
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,720
No, not the way we'll do it.

159
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,720
When we came in here, the street was empty, wasn't it?

160
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:20,720
Aye.

161
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,720
We came down in the cellar.

162
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:23,720
You get that, Doc?

163
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,720
We shouted upstairs, but when you didn't answer, we went on after Partridge.

164
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,720
We never came down in this cellar.

165
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,720
I wish you hadn't.

166
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,720
Now, all you have to do, Doc, is say that Irene went for a walk and never come back.

167
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,720
And George and I will say it, we saw her driving away with this commercial traveler.

168
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,720
What's his name, George?

169
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:42,720
Ari Manning.

170
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,720
He was paying his score at the Lion this morning, so I guess he's moving on.

171
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,720
The whole village knows about him and Irene.

172
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:49,720
What?

173
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,720
I believe that she might leave with him.

174
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,720
Well, we'd better nip off now.

175
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,720
We'll go out the back way.

176
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,720
I'd cover up that fresh cement if I were you, Doc.

177
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:04,720
Aye, and don't be telling folks the clay is only 18 inches down.

178
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,720
The whole village knows about this?

179
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,720
Oh, no, no.

180
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,720
Why did they have to come down here?

181
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,720
Why can't they keep their mouths shut?

182
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,720
Why tell the patient he has a cancer?

183
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:19,720
Why?

184
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:20,720
You!

185
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:21,720
I'm back!

186
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,720
I'm down here, Irene.

187
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:24,720
I'm down here.

188
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:25,720
I'm down here.

189
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:26,720
I'm down here.

190
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:27,720
I'm down here.

191
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:28,720
I'm down here.

192
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:29,720
I'm down here.

193
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:30,720
I'm down here.

194
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:31,720
I'm down here.

195
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:32,720
I'm down here.

196
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:33,720
I'm down here.

197
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:34,720
I'm down here, Irene.

198
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:35,720
Oh, can you beat it?

199
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,720
I missed the train.

200
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:39,720
Oh?

201
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,720
Which way did you come back?

202
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,720
I walked across the field, how do you think?

203
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,720
It's twice as fast as the village.

204
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,720
If you'll drive me to Cornshast, maybe I can catch the train there.

205
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:50,720
Maybe.

206
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,720
Did you meet anyone coming back?

207
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,720
Oh, no, sir.

208
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,720
Aren't you finished with that dirty job yet?

209
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:58,720
No.

210
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:03,720
No, I'm afraid that I shall have to take up this floor again.

211
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,720
Come on down here, dear, I'll show you.

212
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,720
For suspense, Autolite is bringing you Charles Lawton

213
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:31,720
in Radio's outstanding theater of thrills, Suspend.

214
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,720
You know, Hap, during that bitter cold spell...

215
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,720
I don't know, cold spell?

216
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,720
Why, this is Southern California.

217
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,720
I was in Montana, where zero is another name for prickly heat.

218
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,720
Well, I was telling a fellow about how to get summertime operation out of his car.

219
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,720
By Cornelius, I said, get one of those Autolite stay-full batteries with the extra liquid reserve.

220
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,720
Friend, there's enough extra water in an Autolite stay-full battery

221
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,720
to irrigate Death Valley or make a rainstorm in the Sahara.

222
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:05,720
Oh, not that much, huh?

223
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,720
Grabbing his arm, I said, those Autolite stay-full batteries need water only three times a year.

224
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,720
Yes, sir, only three times a year in normal car use.

225
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:14,720
And hanging onto his muffler...

226
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:15,720
Muffler? Well, what kind?

227
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,720
The double-chested kind in Montana.

228
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:18,720
Oh.

229
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,720
And then I told him the extra plates in an Autolite stay-full battery mean this rugged receptacle

230
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,720
has a rapid response and a raft of reserve.

231
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,720
And then I said, as the button pulled off his coat, Autolite stay-full battery...

232
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,720
Hello, that's my coat.

233
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,720
Oh, sorry, Hap, here's your button.

234
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,720
Autolite stay-full batteries are just another one of the 400 automotive, aviation, and marine parts

235
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,720
from one of the 28 plants of the Autolite company.

236
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,720
And now, Autolite brings back to our Hollywood sound stage

237
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,720
Charles Lotton in Daymortuis,

238
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:55,720
a tale well calculated to keep you in suspense.

239
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,720
There you are, Mrs. Green.

240
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,720
I'm sure you'll come back next week for another injection.

241
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,720
We'll have you feeling fit in no time.

242
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,720
Well, how much will they be, these injections, Doctor?

243
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:09,720
Three shillings apiece, Mrs. Green.

244
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,720
Now, there's no need to pay it right away.

245
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:12,720
We'll see about that later.

246
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,720
Oh, now, that's just like you, always doing something for others

247
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,720
and never a thought to yourself.

248
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,720
You know, Doctor, I was talking to Mrs. Parks about you only the other day.

249
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:21,720
Oh, yes?

250
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,720
It's no good, I says, for a man to be living alone.

251
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,720
Say what you will about it.

252
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,720
A year it is now since that, uh, she left you.

253
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:30,720
Good riddance it was.

254
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,720
And it's time you was looking about.

255
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,720
You mean to say it's really a year since Irene left?

256
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,720
You know, the time seems much shorter than that.

257
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,720
You know, it's not that we yelled we'd divorce, Doctor,

258
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,720
but if there was ever a man justified, you're that man.

259
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,720
You know, it's very odd how a word like that keeps being mentioned.

260
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,720
Mrs. Green, I know that you mean well,

261
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,720
I'd rather not talk about it if you don't mind.

262
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,720
Well, a body can't help thinking...

263
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:55,720
Yes, I'm sure of that.

264
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,720
Now, you come in again next week for your injection,

265
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:58,720
and don't you forget...

266
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,720
I won't do this, Doctor, and you think I will...

267
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,720
Good day, Mrs. Green.

268
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:02,720
Yes?

269
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:03,720
You the Doc?

270
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:04,720
Yes, I'm Dr. Rankin.

271
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:05,720
Won't you come in?

272
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,720
I don't mind if I do.

273
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,720
Now, what seems the trouble, Mr...

274
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,720
Manning, Manning, Harry Manning.

275
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,720
Harry Manning, your name seems familiar.

276
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,720
Yeah, dare say it. I'm a commercial traveler.

277
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,720
Most of the boys around the villages know me.

278
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,720
And a few of the women, I suppose.

279
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,720
Well, I wouldn't say no, Doc, as you know how it is.

280
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:27,720
I suppose I do.

281
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,720
Now, what did you say was wrong, Mr. Manning?

282
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,720
Well, I don't rightly know, Doc.

283
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:32,720
Just feeling a bit under the weather,

284
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,720
it hit me just as I was driving into Sudbury.

285
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,720
So I looked for the nearest doctor in your eye.

286
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:37,720
So I see.

287
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,720
Well, I think I'd better examine you, Mr. Manning.

288
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,720
Would you remove your shirt, please?

289
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:42,720
Yeah.

290
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,720
Have you been in Sudbury before, Mr. Manning?

291
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,720
Once a year, Doc, as regular as the calendar.

292
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,720
It's a fine little place.

293
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,720
Did you say that you'd just arrived?

294
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,720
You haven't checked in at the inn yet?

295
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:54,720
You're my first stop, Doc.

296
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,720
Like I said, I was feeling a bit under the weather

297
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:57,720
and I wanted to check up on it.

298
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,720
You see, I wanted to look up an old friend here.

299
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,720
I felt I'd better be feeling just right.

300
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,720
Sorry, maybe you know a Doc, a downy bit by the name of Irene Harkin.

301
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,720
Irene?

302
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,720
I don't believe I know her.

303
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:14,720
What was her last name?

304
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,720
Would you breathe a little deeper, please?

305
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,720
You know, she never did tell me her last name.

306
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,720
I got the idea she was amoured for proper.

307
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:23,720
Hammered?

308
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:24,720
Yeah, married.

309
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,720
Didn't want her old man to know she was out seeing life.

310
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,720
Oh, she was a real live chicken and neat once she was.

311
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,720
I'm afraid that I never knew.

312
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,720
Uh, your Irene?

313
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,720
Well, I can probably find her by asking down at the pub.

314
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:36,720
They'll know her.

315
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,720
No doubt. I imagine you're anxious to find her.

316
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:40,720
You said it, Doc.

317
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,720
As soon as you put me to rights, I'll sign in at the lion

318
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,720
and I'll pop her out the pub.

319
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,720
Of course.

320
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,720
How long has it been since you've seen a doctor?

321
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,720
Oh, four or five years.

322
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,720
Why, what you trying to tell me, Doc?

323
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,720
I'm afraid, Mr. Manning, that your heart is not in the best of condition.

324
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,720
Are you trying to tell me that I'm going to pop off?

325
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,720
You might live many years, Mr. Manning, but if I were you,

326
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,720
I would avoid any sort of excitement.

327
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,720
In the meantime, I'll give you something that'll give you temporary relief.

328
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,720
You wouldn't be kidding me, would you, Doc?

329
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:13,720
Kidding, Mr. Manning?

330
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,720
You know, pulling me leg.

331
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:16,720
Not at all.

332
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,720
You may put your shirt on, Mr. Manning.

333
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,720
How long have I got, Doc?

334
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:21,720
Give it to me straight.

335
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,720
Well, that might be difficult to say, Mr. Manning.

336
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,720
So many things must be considered in a case like yours.

337
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:31,720
I would say that how long you live depends on the way that you follow my advice.

338
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:32,720
I'll do anything you say, Doc.

339
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:33,720
Fine.

340
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,720
First of all, I want you to take this capsule.

341
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:37,720
Here's some water.

342
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:38,720
All right.

343
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,720
How often do I take him, Doc?

344
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,720
I think that one will fix you up for the time.

345
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,720
If it doesn't just come back, I'll give you another one.

346
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,720
You mean that just one will do the trick?

347
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,720
Say, that's great, Doc. How much do I owe you?

348
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:55,720
Two shillings.

349
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,720
Two shillings? Certainly reasonable enough.

350
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,720
I thought it would be at least a quid.

351
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:00,720
Here you are.

352
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:01,720
Thank you.

353
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,720
With that medicine to fix you up, Mr. Manning, you should have no trouble at all...

354
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,720
finding your Irene.

355
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,720
Are you busy, Doc?

356
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,720
Hello, George. Come on in.

357
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,720
Who was the bloke leaving your office before, Doc?

358
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:26,720
He looked familiar.

359
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,720
He was a commercial traveler.

360
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,720
He said his name was Harry Manning.

361
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,720
I could have...

362
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,720
Harry Manning is the one.

363
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,720
I believe that he is the gentleman that you and Greg have mentioned several times.

364
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,720
What did he want?

365
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,720
A doctor, strangely enough. He wasn't feeling very well.

366
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,720
Did he know who you were?

367
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:46,720
That I was a doctor, yes.

368
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:47,720
No more?

369
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:48,720
No.

370
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,720
He'll be going straight to the pub, won't he?

371
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,720
I imagine he will.

372
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,720
Although I told him to avoid excitement, he has a bit of a bad heart.

373
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:58,720
Aye.

374
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,720
Now, what's wrong with you, George?

375
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,720
Or is this a social call?

376
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,720
A bit of both, Doc.

377
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,720
We've been friends for a long time.

378
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,720
Ever since I arrived in Sudbury, I suppose in a way you and Greg are the only friends I've had.

379
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,720
That's what I've had in mind, I did.

380
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:19,720
You see, Doc, I'm in a spot of trouble and I thought you might want to give me a hand.

381
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,720
Gladly, if I can. What's the trouble, George?

382
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,720
Well, money troubles, Doc.

383
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,720
I have a lot of bills that must be paid.

384
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,720
If you're talking about my bill, George, you should know that I won't press you.

385
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,720
Oh, I wasn't worrying about that.

386
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,720
The truth is, Doctor, I need about 100 quid.

387
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,720
Yikes. 100 pounds.

388
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,720
And I was thinking maybe you might loan it to me.

389
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:47,720
I would if I had it, George, but you know that I'm not one of those Harley Street-tossed-my-patients-pay-two-or-three-shillings.

390
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,720
When they can pay.

391
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,720
You could raise it, maybe.

392
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,720
Perhaps, but I think that you could find a loan easier than I could, George.

393
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,720
You've lived around here all your life.

394
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,720
Aye, and I know what I know.

395
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,720
It's four feet down to the clay. That's what it is.

396
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,720
I see. You, um...

397
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,720
PHONE RINGING

398
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:15,720
Doctor Rankin?

399
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,720
Gregory here, Doc. Thought maybe you'd like to go out after some partridge this afternoon.

400
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,720
No, Greg, I don't think that...

401
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,720
Oh, why, yes.

402
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,720
Yes, I might. I might at that.

403
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,720
It'll do me good to get away from the office.

404
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,720
And George is here now. Perhaps he'll go with us. Would you hold on?

405
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,720
It's Greg, George. He wants to go hunting. What do you say?

406
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,720
What about my 100 quid?

407
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,720
Oh, I think I can help you, George. What about the hunting?

408
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,720
I don't care if I do.

409
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:45,720
Fine.

410
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:50,720
Uh, uh, George will go with us, too. It'll be like old times, huh?

411
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,720
Good. All right. Meet at my place.

412
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,720
I know. There's nothing like old friends getting together, is there, George?

413
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:57,720
Aye.

414
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,720
Especially when they can help each other.

415
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,720
I'll get the money for you.

416
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,720
Somewhere, rather, considering the cause,

417
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:29,720
I guess we might say that almost any method is justified.

418
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,720
Heel boy. Well, there's a bit of a chill today.

419
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,720
Could mean a good bag. You and George must have gotten chilled waiting for me.

420
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,720
I'm sorry I was a bit late. Oh, well, it couldn't be helped.

421
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:39,720
Yeah, what was the call?

422
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,720
A commercial traveler. He had a heart attack on the street.

423
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,720
That wouldn't be the same one that was coming out of your office today, would it, Doc?

424
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,720
Yes, it was the same man.

425
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:57,720
Well, fancy that. It'd be funny, Doc, if it turned out you gave him the wrong medicine by mistake.

426
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,720
I never prescribe mistakes, George.

427
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:05,720
You, um, might as well let the dog go, Greg. We're coming to a good spot.

428
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,720
I'll bear off to the left. You two can keep to the right.

429
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,720
All right, boy. Flesh him.

430
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,720
I'll lay you a critter bag more than a you.

431
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,720
Done, George.

432
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:21,720
Hey, Doctor, George seems a little nervy today, like he had the wind up about something.

433
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:22,720
He got an idea what's wrong?

434
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,720
No, he seemed all right when he was at my office earlier.

435
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,720
Hey, look, the dog struck a point.

436
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:28,720
Ah, that he has.

437
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:36,720
I'll swing to the right, Greg. That way we'll have them between George and myself, and you'll have them in front.

438
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,720
All right, Greg.

439
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,720
Flesh him, boy.

440
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,720
Hey, Doc, George!

441
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:44,720
Ow!

442
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,720
I got two of them.

443
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,720
Doc, that first shot, I think it hit George.

444
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,720
What?

445
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,720
Good heavens.

446
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,720
George.

447
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:02,720
Oh, only a hundred quid. That's no cause to...

448
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:11,720
I... I tried to stop you, Doc. I could see your gun wasn't swinging high enough.

449
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:17,720
I thought I was aiming high, but I wanted to hit the birds before they scattered. God help me.

450
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,720
Oh, Lord, look at the blood on him.

451
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,720
Can't you do something for him, Doc?

452
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,720
I'm afraid I can't help him now, Jook, Greg. He's dead.

453
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,720
Sit down, Greg. I'll fix some drinks.

454
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:39,720
He was no more than 30 feet away, just standing there waiting for the birds to flush.

455
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,720
I'll go get him.

456
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,720
I'll go get him.

457
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,720
I'll go get him.

458
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,720
I'll go get him.

459
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,720
I'll go get him.

460
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,720
I'll go get him.

461
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,720
I'll go get him.

462
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,720
I'll go get him.

463
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,720
I'll go get him. Just standing there waiting for the birds to flush.

464
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,720
I should have seen him.

465
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,720
Was that what you meant, George?

466
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,720
No, no, I didn't say that, Doc. No, I was just thinking.

467
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,720
Yes, I know how it is. Here's your drink.

468
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:14,720
Thanks. No, I just couldn't drink. Not yet.

469
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,720
Doc, I want to ask you something.

470
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,720
Of course. What is it, Greg?

471
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:25,720
That commercial traveler who had the heart attack, the one that George mentioned, was his name Harry Manning?

472
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,720
I believe it was, now that you mention it. It was something like that.

473
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:34,720
I see. Doc, why don't you leave Sudbury? Go to some other village.

474
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,720
England's full of quiet little villages where a doctor can build up a good practice.

475
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:43,720
But I already live in such a village, Greg. I like Sudbury and I have certain plans.

476
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,720
But, Doc, it may be dangerous for you if you stay.

477
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,720
Are you threatening me, Greg?

478
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,720
No, no, of course not. Only I...

479
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:57,720
A man, especially at my age, can't simply pick himself up and start all over again.

480
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,720
I've spent a great deal here, not only of money, but of myself.

481
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,720
I like this place and its people, most of them.

482
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,720
I know, Doc. I understand. But even so...

483
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:12,720
As for the danger, I believe that I can take care of that.

484
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,720
Do you remember my cellar, Greg?

485
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,720
Your cellar? What about it?

486
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,720
It's hardly a cellar now. I've turned it into a research laboratory.

487
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,720
It's full of the best equipment. Come on, I'll show you.

488
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,720
No, not now, Doc. Some other time.

489
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,720
Greg, you're my friend, my only friend now that George is going to want you to see it.

490
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:31,720
No, Doc, I...

491
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,720
Now, come on, Greg.

492
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:43,720
Go ahead, go ahead, Greg.

493
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:49,720
What are you talking about?

494
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:54,720
You haven't done anything to the cellar. It's just the same as it was that day.

495
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,720
Here, I'm going to...

496
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,720
You're going to what, Greg?

497
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:03,720
What did you do? What did you stick with me with?

498
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,720
A hypodermic needle, Greg. It's an honorable symbol of my profession.

499
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,720
And don't try to leave, Greg. You'll never make the stairway.

500
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,720
Now, you see...

501
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,720
Have you killed me?

502
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:20,720
Not yet, Greg. Do you feel that I have to kill you, that you know too much and you suspect even more?

503
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,720
You've got too many secrets to keep to yourself. Is that it, Greg?

504
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:29,720
You did kill that commercial traveler and then you got to worrying about what George and I knew.

505
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,720
And that's how you killed George and now you're going to kill me.

506
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,720
I should have turned you in a year ago.

507
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:41,720
Yes, yes, you should have, Greg. You see, there was water seeping through the floor.

508
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:50,720
I did find clay only 18 inches down. When you came in that day, I didn't know anything about Irene except that I loved her and was happy.

509
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,720
What do you mean? You mean that Irene wasn't...

510
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:59,720
No, no, no, no, no. Irene was not dead then. You see, Greg, if anyone is guilty of murder, it is you and George.

511
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:07,720
You killed my happiness. It was you who killed Irene through my hand and it was you who brought up the commercial traveler.

512
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:12,720
Although it was my medicine, it was you who killed him as surely as if you'd struck him down in the street.

513
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:13,720
It was George.

514
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,720
Now, George wanted to transfer his secret to his wallet.

515
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,720
And you, Greg, when the secret became three secrets, you found it too heavy for you.

516
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:25,720
Oh, you're mad, Doctor. You'll never get away with it, with all of us.

517
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:34,720
I came to Sudbury wanting to serve it, to share the sickness and the poverty as well as the simple day-to-day existence of all of you.

518
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,720
I asked no more than that. I wanted...

519
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:37,720
Help.

520
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:38,720
Are you quite quiet, you fellow?

521
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,720
Help.

522
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,720
I won't have you spoil things now.

523
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,720
Dr. Rankin?

524
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,720
Dr. Rankin?

525
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,720
Well, he's here. There's no doubt about it. The door was open.

526
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,720
Unless he went out on a hurry call.

527
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,720
Dr. Rankin, it's Constable Saunders.

528
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,720
I guess he is out. There's no great hurry on this anyway, trust me.

529
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,720
Why don't I come back in the morning?

530
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,720
All right, then. Come along.

531
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,720
Phew. Well, that's all right, indeed.

532
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:25,720
By tomorrow morning when they return, there won't be a trace of you left, and I'll be free and safe, and no one will ever be the wise man.

533
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:26,720
What on earth's that?

534
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:31,720
I tell you, Jones, I saw the cellar light on just as we turned the corner.

535
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,720
There. You see? The light under the door there.

536
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,720
Oh, what you ask, sir. Must be down in the cellar. Didn't hear it.

537
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:39,720
Phew.

538
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,720
Dr. Rankin?

539
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,720
Oh, glad I raised you, doctor.

540
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:55,720
You forgot to sign the death certificate on that commercial traveler today.

541
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,720
I say, what are you doing down there, doctor?

542
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:13,720
I'm... Well, you might as well come down the rest of the way, Constable, and I'll show you.

543
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:35,720
Thank you, Charles Lawton, for a splendid performance.

544
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:41,720
Say, uh, Harrow, before Charles Lawton returns, won't you tell everyone the advice you have for them?

545
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:48,720
All right, Hap. Friends, get a dandy, dynamic, dependable Autolite stay-full battery with an extra water reserve.

546
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:53,720
It's power-packed for pep and performance in sun, snow, sleet, or suspense.

547
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,720
Well, you forgot another S, Harlow. Service.

548
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:02,720
Service indeed, Hap, and that reminds me, Autolite makes complete electrical systems for many makes of America's finest cars.

549
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,720
Generators, batteries, starting motors, coils, distributors.

550
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,720
All ignition engineered to meet the highest standards of leading automotive engineers.

551
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,720
So, folks, tomorrow's the day to treat your car to an expert motor tune-up.

552
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,720
Visit your local Autolite service station listed in your classified telephone directory,

553
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:26,720
or the dealer who sells your make of car, and be sure to specify original factory parts, the lifeline of your car.

554
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,720
Always remember, Autolite means batteries.

555
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:37,720
Stay full, batteries. Autolite means spark plugs. Ignition engineered resistor spark plugs. Autolite means ignition system.

556
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,720
The lifeline of your car.

557
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,720
And now here again is Mr. Charles Lawton.

558
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:56,720
I am very happy to have had this opportunity of working again with Tony Leder on Suspense Again.

559
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,720
It has meant working in a story which has been a favorite of mine.

560
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:07,720
Day More to Us has long been a well-loved story, but next week you will be hearing the story of a current novel,

561
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:13,720
when radio's outstanding theater of thrills will bring you Miss Jane Wyman.

562
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:18,720
Wonderful. And a special adaptation of Pat McGurr's Catch Me If You Can.

563
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:23,720
Another gripping study in Suspense.

564
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:29,720
Charles Lawton will soon be seen in the A&T film production The Man in the Eiffel Tower.

565
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,720
Tonight's Suspense play was by John Collier and was adapted for radio by Ken Crossen.

566
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,720
Music was composed by Lucian Morrowek and conducted by Lud Bluskin.

567
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,720
The entire production was under the direction of Anton M. Leder.

568
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:47,720
In the coming weeks, Suspense will present such stars as James Mason, Van Heflin, Jimmy Stewart, and many others.

569
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:52,720
Make it a point to listen each Thursday to Suspense, radio's outstanding theater of thrills.

570
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:57,720
And remember next Thursday, hear Miss Jane Wyman in Catch Me If You Can.

571
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:07,720
You will find Auto Light battery dealers listed in your classified telephone directory under batteries.

572
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,720
You're right with Auto Light.

573
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:27,720
This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.
