10:44.000 --> 10:45.000 No. 10:45.000 --> 10:48.000 Okay. 10:48.000 --> 10:49.000 Wait a minute. 10:49.000 --> 10:52.000 Yes, Mr. Farley? 10:52.000 --> 10:54.000 Change your mind? 10:54.000 --> 10:55.000 Yeah. 10:55.000 --> 10:57.000 Well, good. 10:57.000 --> 10:59.000 Let's have another drink. 10:59.000 --> 11:00.000 Sure. 11:00.000 --> 11:02.000 Say when. 11:02.000 --> 11:04.000 Hold it. 11:04.000 --> 11:06.000 That's fine. 11:06.000 --> 11:07.000 Cheers. 11:07.000 --> 11:09.000 Cheers. 11:09.000 --> 11:29.000 You're too young to drink anyway. 11:29.000 --> 11:33.000 Auto Light is bringing you Mr. Dick Powell in Overdrawn, 11:33.000 --> 11:37.000 tonight's production in radio's outstanding theater of thrills, 11:37.000 --> 11:39.000 Suspense. 11:47.000 --> 11:48.000 Hello. 11:48.000 --> 11:50.000 I'm happy as a pennant winner now. 11:50.000 --> 11:54.000 Oh, you visited your neighborhood Auto Light spark plug dealer, eh, Stan? 11:54.000 --> 11:55.000 Oh, you bet I did. 11:55.000 --> 11:59.000 He checked my car's spark plugs with that famous Auto Light plug check indicator, 11:59.000 --> 12:03.000 and he found that they were as worn as a catcher's mitt after a double header. 12:03.000 --> 12:09.000 So he threw out those worn out spark plugs for a set of ignition engineered Auto Light spark plugs, eh? 12:09.000 --> 12:10.000 You bet he did. 12:10.000 --> 12:14.000 And now my car takes off like a home run, operates smooth as a double play, 12:14.000 --> 12:16.000 and really goes the distance on a tank of gas. 12:16.000 --> 12:21.000 Well, that's because ignition engineered Auto Light spark plugs are designed by the same Auto Light engineers 12:21.000 --> 12:25.000 who design coils, distributors, and all the other important parts 12:25.000 --> 12:30.000 that make up the complete ignition systems for many of our finest makes of cars, trucks, and tractors. 12:30.000 --> 12:35.000 Auto Light spark plugs are ignition engineered to pitch perfect performance 12:35.000 --> 12:38.000 and catch the praises of smart motorists everywhere. 12:38.000 --> 12:39.000 You know how old? 12:39.000 --> 12:44.000 I'm going to tell all my players to have their cars checked regularly by their Auto Light spark plug dealer. 12:44.000 --> 12:49.000 Yes, Stan, and have worn out spark plugs replaced with either standard or resistor type 12:49.000 --> 12:54.000 ignition engineered Auto Light spark plugs, because, even as the umpire knows, 12:54.000 --> 12:58.000 you're always right with Auto Light. 12:58.000 --> 13:04.000 And now Auto Light brings back to our Hollywood sound stage Mr. Dick Powell 13:04.000 --> 13:13.000 in Elliot Lewis's production of Overdrawn, a tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. 13:17.000 --> 13:19.000 For a minute nothing was real. 13:19.000 --> 13:24.000 Then gradually I started to think clearly again, more coolly and smoothly. 13:24.000 --> 13:31.000 I got the keys to Graves' car out of his pocket, packed a bag, and grabbed the briefcase with the money. 13:31.000 --> 13:34.000 I carried them out to his car and locked them in the trunk. 13:34.000 --> 13:37.000 Then I went back for him. 13:37.000 --> 13:38.000 It was dark. 13:38.000 --> 13:42.000 I got him over my shoulder and went out the back door to the alley. 13:42.000 --> 13:46.000 I got him into the car, propped him up at the seat beside me. 13:46.000 --> 13:50.000 He looked like a college boy after a big game celebration, 13:50.000 --> 13:55.000 and I thought he'd wake up any minute and say, stop the car, I don't feel so good. 14:04.000 --> 14:07.000 A few miles outside of town there was a reservoir. 14:07.000 --> 14:12.000 I pulled up a few feet for the edge and sat there a minute, smoked a cigarette. 14:12.000 --> 14:14.000 I didn't dare go too fast. 14:14.000 --> 14:16.000 Had to know the next move. 14:16.000 --> 14:23.000 Suddenly the kid's body slipped a little and leaned against my shoulder like he wanted to hurry and get it over with. 14:23.000 --> 14:25.000 It was the least I could do. 14:25.000 --> 14:29.000 I grabbed my briefcase and bag, took the brake off, and shoved. 14:29.000 --> 14:33.000 The car slid into the water in a slow, smooth glide. 14:33.000 --> 14:46.000 The bus leaving at gate three for Ventura Santa Barbara, Monterey, Palo Alto and San Francisco. 14:46.000 --> 14:49.000 Yes, sir, better hurry. That's your bus he just called. 14:49.000 --> 14:50.000 Thanks. 14:58.000 --> 15:02.000 It was dark in the bus and too many people were using the air. 15:02.000 --> 15:05.000 A baby in the back somewhere didn't like it either. 15:05.000 --> 15:12.000 I put a cigarette in my mouth and as I struck a match, the glow lit up the face that leaned toward it from the next seat. 15:12.000 --> 15:14.000 Paula, will you, honey? 15:14.000 --> 15:16.000 Thanks. 15:17.000 --> 15:19.000 Oh, stuffy in here, isn't it? 15:19.000 --> 15:21.000 Yes, it is. Going far? 15:21.000 --> 15:25.000 San Francisco. I got a cousin there. He runs a restaurant. 15:25.000 --> 15:27.000 All those fish places on the walk, you know. 15:27.000 --> 15:29.000 I've never been there, but I've heard about them. 15:29.000 --> 15:32.000 You've never been to San Francisco? Oh, you've got a kick coming. 15:32.000 --> 15:37.000 It's not much when the sun's out, but at night it gets enough like New York to be just great. 15:37.000 --> 15:38.000 You'll love it. 15:38.000 --> 15:41.000 Of course, I don't know anything about you, but... 15:41.000 --> 15:43.000 Oh, you don't have to. We're starting even. 15:43.000 --> 15:44.000 What's your name? 15:44.000 --> 15:46.000 Betsy Clark. 15:46.000 --> 15:48.000 Mine's Adams. Arthur Adams. 15:48.000 --> 15:54.000 I'm a used car salesman from San Diego. I'm taking my first vacation in five years. 15:54.000 --> 15:59.000 And I'm glad to know you, Ms. Clark. 16:02.000 --> 16:05.000 There were times during the trip when I shied away from her. 16:05.000 --> 16:10.000 I couldn't possibly be lucky enough to pick up a right girl in such a wrong place. 16:10.000 --> 16:14.000 But she got to be important to me just by being there. 16:14.000 --> 16:16.000 I didn't want to be alone. 16:16.000 --> 16:21.000 We got to San Francisco about 8 o'clock the next morning, and I felt panic again. 16:21.000 --> 16:28.000 She'd leave me now and go to her cousin, leave me in a vacuum to hold hands with a briefcase in the past. 16:28.000 --> 16:30.000 Where are you going to stay, Arthur? 16:30.000 --> 16:35.000 I, uh, I don't know. Some downtown hotel, I guess. Any suggestions? 16:35.000 --> 16:38.000 Well, there's a little place on Gary. It's clean. The price is right. 16:38.000 --> 16:40.000 Sounds fine. What's the address? 16:40.000 --> 16:43.000 354 South. Come on, we'll take a cab. 16:43.000 --> 16:44.000 We? 16:44.000 --> 16:47.000 Well, unless you want to walk. It's a good 10 blocks. 16:47.000 --> 16:50.000 Oh, I thought you were staying with your cousin. 16:50.000 --> 16:52.000 I changed my mind. 16:52.000 --> 16:57.000 Besides, you're liable to get lost without me. These San Francisco streets can be very confusing. 17:05.000 --> 17:10.000 Good morning. Can I just... Oh, hello, Miss Clark. 17:10.000 --> 17:12.000 Hello, Pop. You got a couple of rooms? 17:12.000 --> 17:15.000 Sure. It's good to see you again. It's been nearly... 17:15.000 --> 17:18.000 This is Mr. Adams, Pop. Give him one overlooking the bay. He's never been here before. 17:18.000 --> 17:21.000 He can have, uh, 411. 17:21.000 --> 17:23.000 Okay. How about me? 17:23.000 --> 17:24.000 409? 17:24.000 --> 17:26.000 That'll be fine. 17:26.000 --> 17:28.000 I'll, uh, I'll take you up. 17:30.000 --> 17:35.000 You call me when you're freshened up. There's a wonderful restaurant that serves stuffed grape leaves. 17:35.000 --> 17:37.000 We'll begin the tour with something exotic, huh? 17:37.000 --> 17:41.000 Oh, great. Let's keep it that way. I'll be ready in an hour. 17:41.000 --> 17:45.000 I got settled in my room and had Pop bring me a paper. 17:45.000 --> 17:48.000 The bank robbery story was there, but that's all. 17:48.000 --> 17:50.000 In a day or two, there'd be more. 17:50.000 --> 17:54.000 I dressed for dinner, filled my pocket with enough money for a couple of big weeks, 17:54.000 --> 17:57.000 then took the briefcase downstairs to the desk. 17:57.000 --> 18:00.000 Oh, uh, can you put this case in the safe for me, Pop? 18:00.000 --> 18:02.000 Oh, sure, Mr. Adams. 18:02.000 --> 18:05.000 Uh, just a moment. I'll give you a receipt. 18:05.000 --> 18:07.000 There you go. 18:07.000 --> 18:11.000 Is this the house phone? 18:07.000 --> 18:11.000 Oh, yeah. 18:11.000 --> 18:13.000 409, please. 18:13.000 --> 18:18.000 Hi. I'm downstairs. I had to put something in the safe. 18:18.000 --> 18:20.000 Okay. 18:20.000 --> 18:37.000 Here's your receipt, Mr. Adams. 18:37.000 --> 18:39.000 Cigarette? 18:39.000 --> 18:41.000 Mm-hmm. 18:41.000 --> 18:45.000 Oh, wonderful, Tony. Would you like to dance? 18:45.000 --> 18:47.000 I'd love to. 18:47.000 --> 18:51.000 Are you having fun? 18:51.000 --> 18:54.000 Mm-hmm. 18:54.000 --> 18:55.000 Arthur? 18:55.000 --> 18:57.000 Yeah? 18:57.000 --> 18:59.000 How long's your vacation? 18:59.000 --> 19:01.000 Three weeks. Why? 19:01.000 --> 19:08.000 I just wondered. You're a good dancer. 19:08.000 --> 19:11.000 We kept dancing for the rest of the evening, 19:11.000 --> 19:16.000 holding her close with her smooth face next to mine and her hair smelling fresh and clean. 19:16.000 --> 19:22.000 Ever play king on the mountain, scrap your way through a dozen kids and finally make the top? 19:22.000 --> 19:28.000 You feel bigger than anybody, standing up there battling to keep them from pulling you back down. 19:28.000 --> 19:32.000 The top of the mountain was mine, and she was dancing with me up there. 19:32.000 --> 19:35.000 And nobody was going to pull me down again. 19:35.000 --> 19:40.000 I thought about Graves lying at the bottom of the reservoir with his head broken. 19:40.000 --> 19:47.000 They probably wouldn't find him for weeks. 19:47.000 --> 19:52.000 The next night we went to the top of the mark. 19:52.000 --> 19:55.000 Gee, I'm sorry it's so foggy. 19:55.000 --> 19:58.000 We'll have to come back again so you can see how pretty it is. 19:58.000 --> 20:03.000 Oh, I like looking at the fog. It's like watching smoke in a fireplace. 20:03.000 --> 20:08.000 Look how it curls around the buildings. Cold smoke. 20:08.000 --> 20:10.000 Oh, I'm glad it's out there. 20:10.000 --> 20:13.000 Why don't we go home now, huh? 20:13.000 --> 20:14.000 Arthur? 20:14.000 --> 20:15.000 Hmm? 20:15.000 --> 20:17.000 Why don't we go home now? 20:17.000 --> 20:19.000 No, not yet. 20:19.000 --> 20:23.000 Well, I don't think I want another drink. 20:23.000 --> 20:28.000 Hey, what happened to you all of a sudden?
