Hay Is for Homicide

William Gargon stars as Barry Craig, confidential investigator. Someone once said that murder is a fine art. There's a catch though. If you're a successful artist, they hang your paintings. If you're a successful murderer, they hang you.

The National Broadcasting Company presents William Gargon in another transcribed drama of mystery and adventure with America's number one detective, Barry Craig, confidential investigator. Barry Craig speaking. Even confidential investigators need a vacation. Sometimes they've been known to take one.

The place I'd chosen was Vermont. The main reason for that was Jake. He was on vacation, too. He decided to come home and see if he'd been smart and abandoning Vermont to run an elevator on Madison Avenue.

Say Jake. Hey, huh? What's the verdict? Madison Avenue. Why? Is Madison Avenue dark and quiet like this? Nope. Is Madison Avenue surrounded by tall trees cooled by gentle breezes filled with the fragrance of unspoiled nature?

Nope. Now what's Madison Avenue got that this place hasn't? Girls. Well, you may be right. But... Oh, you may be wrong. That came from directly up the road. Nice night for a hay ride. Is it?

Yeah. Could have been a gigo. Oh, rather loud giggle. Girls got very loud giggles sometimes, especially on a hayride. Oh, Jake, stop pulling my leg. Hey, wait a minute. What's that in the road up ahead of us?

Hey, wagon. I refuse to believe it, but it is filled with hay. Usually I, huh? There's a horse out in front of it, but where's the driver? Say, Jake, would he have gone off and left the wagon out in the middle of the road?

I'm coming up on that wagon. That girl, if it was a girl, didn't giggle, she screamed. I'd better take a look around in the hay. What for? Anything larger than a needle. There's plenty of hay up here.
