Fire Fighters: Everyone Trying to Catch Monkeys

All station attention. Presenting firefighters. The true to life story of our unsung heroes who stand ready to ride by day or night against our most murderous enemy, the demon of fire.

Just a minute, we'll join Tim Collins and his rescue pal Mushnowski down at the waterfront, where they have a bad case of monkey trouble. Answering a rescue call, they're astounded to see when they get the scene dozens of monkeys swarming loose all over the sides of buildings.

Ship from India, for experimental purposes, the monkeys got loose while being unloaded from the boat. At first the boys got a good laugh out of this freak assignment, trying to corral the wiry little creatures.

Then they learned that their rescue job was more than a lark. We'll learn exactly what Tim and Mush are up against, just as soon as we hear this message. Let's go, firefighters! Let's go to the waterfront where Tim Collins and the others in the rescue company have answered the strangest call of their careers, capturing a shipment of rhesus monkeys which are running

wild. It's been sort of fun for the boys, although they haven't caught a single monkey yet, until Mr. Jackson, the man to whom the monkeys were shipped, arrives on the scene. Mr. Jackson, seeing the monkeys scampering over the face of the buildings, is definitely not amused. Quite the opposite. It seems quite concerned, because...

Man, we must capture those monkeys immediately. Well, we're doing all we can, sir, but they're darned elusive critters. Well, that must be a way, and we've got to find it. Tell me, you seem unusually concerned, Mr. Jackson.

Now, I know the monkey's a valuable, Mr. Langley, to keep her said so, but I... Did he tell you all about the monkeys? What do you mean, sir? I see that he hasn't. These monkeys, gentlemen, are vital to a very important medical experiment the doctors of this city are conducting.
