Transcript

William Gorgon stars as Barry Craig, confidential investigators. The trouble with leaving a life of crime is that you could never rest on your laurels. What you usually wind up resting on is a prison cut.

The National Broadcasting Company presents William Gorgon in another transcribed drama of mystery and adventure with America's number one detective, Barry Craig, confidential investigator. Barry Craig speaking.

Have you ever tried reading confidential investigative backwards? It can be done if it's on a glass door, you're sitting behind, but it doesn't get you anywhere. Me, it left sitting in my office on Madison Avenue around closing time with nothing to do, but way too long I got hungry enough for dinner.

Anyway, that's what I thought. Come in until they and it arrived. Take it easy fellas take it really easy. Now put it down easy. Yeah, that's it fellas. Now wait downstairs till I get this guy sick.

There we are. Okay, Mr. Right on this line. Wait a minute. What is it? What's what? That thing you just dumped in here looks like a tree in brown wrapping paper. Maybe it's a tree, maybe it's a hitching post.

How do I know? It's not a tree, there's no branches, but a hitching post. A hitching post is something you hitchhorses to. I don't hitchhorses to anything. I haven't got horses. So now you got a hitching post? Maybe you'll get some.

There's a clause in my lease that I can't keep horses in this office. Move. There's another clause which says... Oh, forget it. Will you please sign us here? Get the wrappings off that thing first.

Okay. Hey. Don't look now, but... Were you wrong? This here came with the rest of the Berry Creek. That's you? That's me, but that's not a hitching post. Who cares? It happens to be a mummy.
