Adventure Ahead! The National Broadcasting Company presents another in the new series of famous stories for young people. Adventure Ahead! This week, a play based on that classic of American childhood, the story of a bad boy by Thomas Bailey August.
And I'm using a fighting story of the adventures of a typical American boy. And now... Adventure Ahead! Tom. Tom Bailey. He's upstairs, Jack Nutter. Huh? In his room. Oh, thank you, kitty. Tom.
What's wrong? Tom Bailey. What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? You think I'm wrong? Wrong. I should say something's wrong. What about this book? A book, Jack? What book? You know very well what book, Tom Bailey.
This one. My notebook. When I'm at my speech in. Oh. Oh. They're igniting him. Well, you come from me. Draw on pictures of mine, notebook, funny faces. At the same time, Billy. All these faces mixed up in my campaign speech.
Hmm. Not very good likenesses either. You're not good? This one here. That's supposed to be Kitty Cannon, are you? Hmm. Don't look like her. Who's this stupid looking woman? Well, that's supposed to be you, Uncle.
Yeah. Huh? Oh, here's that. It's the best I could do so my pencil was worn out. Oh, Tom, I declare. You'll be the death of me yet. Always up to some devilman. You're a bad boy, Tom Bay.
Where's boy messages? But, sir, I don't remember. Sometimes I wonder why. I ever let your folks send you up in living. But I love you if you're on a call, something. Well, I think you would.
Your folks should never put up with the things I do. Well, I'm sorry if I caused you so much trouble, Uncle. I didn't know your old notebook was so important. Well, there's got my campaign speech in it for the big political rally.
