Fire Fighters: The Man Who Was Too Clever pt. 4

Stand by all stations. Attation? That's it? There fighters! 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!

In just a moment, we'll join Chief Cody and Tim Collins in the office of James Spencer Investment Banker where they've gone to follow up a long shot hunch of the Chiefs, a hunch that may help throw light on the mystery of the Sims warehouse fire.

As you remember, the destructive blaze started with a sudden unexplained explosion on the very night that the wealthy exporter Saxon Sims was giving a benefit party for the Fireman's Association. This was coincidence enough. But, when Chief Cody discovered another strange coincidence that Saxon Sims had recently lost a freighter by a mysterious sinking, this was enough to send the Chief hurrying to see his

banker friend, and what he learns there suddenly throws new light on the bizarre case. You'll pick up the threads of this absorbing fire drama right after we hear this important message. Oh, firefighters!

Let's go to the office of James Spencer, the banker, where Chief Cody and Tim have gone to follow up a hunch of the Chiefs. A hunch he hopes will throw some light on mysterious Sims warehouse fire.

But it is evident from the expression on Mr. Spencer's face as he listens to his old friend Chief Cody that he considers him slightly crazy. You ask me how much money Saxon Sims has? What a question, chief.

Why, any man in town can tell you he's one of the richest men in the state. I know he's supposed to be Jim, but is there any way you can make a quick check to find out for sure?
