The Big Step

Get this and get it straight. Crime is a sucker's road, and those who travel had wind up in the gut of the prism of the grave. This time a friend with millions, a myopic chemist and a long-haired piano player, but thrown at a panic because a brilliant young lady with a gun was taking a big step in the wrong direction.

It happened like this. From the pen of Raymond Tranper, outstanding author of Crime Fiction comes his most famous character in The Adventures of Philip Marlow. Now with Gerald Moore, star to Philip Marlow, we bring you tonight's exciting story, The Big Step.

Yes, Mr. Marlow, I always figure shoes are just like faces. How's that champ? Well, they make it old and they make it wrinkled, but they're still okay as long as they've got a shine on them.

Yeah, keep that right in condition, that champ. Yes, sir. Hey, let me just spank up this one again, eh? Sure. Oh, come in. I mean. Miss Marlow? Yeah? Oh, excuse me. I didn't know you were spending.

That's all right. OK, champ. I guess that does it. Here you are. Oh, thank you, Mr. Marlow. All right. See you tomorrow. Right. Well, out of my shoes, I'm a newly-signed life. Muchas et d'am.

Miss, uh. Chantor. Mrs. Betty Chantor. Oh. I'm awake with you at the Shelton Cafe. I need your help, Mr. Marlow. There's something you could do for me. You free to take a case. Well, I'm free, depending on the case.

What is it? Well today, this friend of mine, Shirley Bertello, comes into the restaurant wide work. She takes her usual table, and while she's waiting for her order, she starts reading the paper. It's all quiet so far, Betty.
