Transcript

Family Theatre presents Rita Johnson and Jay Carroll Nash. I'm Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theatre presents Enough Rope, starring Jay Carroll Nash. And now here is your hostess, Rita Johnson. Thank you, Tony Lefrano.

Family Theatre's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice that must become an important part of our lives. If we are to win peace for ourselves, peace for our families, and peace for the world.

Family theatre urges you to pray. Pray together as a family. And now to our transcribed drama, Enough Rope, starring J. Carol Nash as judge. Mr. Mayfield signed a fall down at the last minute and heard him.

You can't take the law into your own hands. You didn't seem to mind taking our money into your own hands. Hello, get up there. Wait, wait, listen, listen, listen to me. You just keep both.

You think I'm guilty under the law. There ain't no law out here. We're in a boom camp in the mountains. Just the way it was in this part of the country 100 years ago. And that's what you banked on.

Hey, Kim, there's a car coming up your own. Let her come! You got that rope pulled tight, Jim? Like George Kaiser! He's got no more say around here in the rest of us. Yeah, it's George, all right?

And there's somebody with him. Don't get inside that car, Jim. If you come to watch, that's OK, George. But don't you try to stop us! Just patting on and I can stop you. I've got my legal right to use it too.
