Get this and get it straight. Crime is a sucker's road, and those who travel it wind up in the gut of the prison of the grave. This time a fireball too handy with a target pistol. Let me down a rocky road past the sleazy money grubber to a curly headed cops.
And it might have gotten worse if I hadn't slowed down at the hairpin turn. It happened like this. From the pen of Raymond Tranfer, outstanding author of Crime Fiction, comes his most famous character in The Adventures of Philip Marlow. Now with Gerald Moore, starred as Philip Marlow, we bring you tonight's exciting story, The Hairpin Turn. Hey, stop it, put down that
gun and listen to me. State that, cuckooly knock. How do you like that? And if you could think just half as straight as you could shoot, I'd have nothing to worry about, but you can't. And it's high time you realize. Oh, there's the house buzzer.
Somebody's up at the house, cuckooly knock. And this is Miles Nidal. And all right, I'll I'll answer it. I'm expecting a man from the office. But as soon as I finish with him, you and I are going to have a talk, young lady. Do you understand?
I said... Oh, what's the use? Yes? I'm Philip Marlow to see Mr. Vanimonee now, Vanimone. I have an appointment. Oh, come in, Marlow. I'm in our Vanimone. Oh, glad you're here. I stepped this way with you. We'll talk in the study.
Okay, Mr. Vanimone, I... Why, I thought... Those were pistol shins? Yeah, that's Kay, my niece. Sounds like a squad of Marines. She's a champion pistol shot. She's converted one of the garages into a target range.
