Transcript

Get this and get it straight. Crime is a sucker's road. Knows who travel it, wind up in the gut of the parade. This time it was a fishy horse play from a red-headed beauty. Past a black bearded sailor to a neck-and-neck finish over a wandering seahorse worth 50,000 bucks.

That was the jockey. It happened like this. From the pan of Raymond Tramper, outstanding author of Crime Fiction, comes his most famous character in... The Adventures of Philip Marlow. Now with Gerald Moore, star is Philip Marlow. We bring you tonight's exciting story, The Sea Horse Jockey.

Yes, he's right here. Oh, hold on, please. It's for you, Mr. Marlow. Always interruption. It's all right. The 60 would never mind. Hi, hello. Mr. Marlow, this is Mrs. Lola Demerus speaking. Oh? Goodness, I've finally located you.
