Transcript

William Garkin stars as Barry Craig, confidential investigator. The odd thing about a killer, folks, you'd never believe it. It is God wasn't showing. The National Broadcasting Company presents William Garkin, in another transcribed drama of mystery and adventure, with America's number one detective, Barry Craig, confidential investigator.

Why? I thought it looked like you're load. You got a day minutes waiting for you. A day? Willinsky, what kind of a gag you've got? He flagged me at 78 and third. So I know a good, reliable, charm-a-she-air.
