Transcript

This is your host to welcome you through the creaking door in Zlianosanct. Say, let me tell you about the new soap opera I heard the other morning. It's a slippery little stanza called John's other coffin.

This program poses the question, can the murderous husband be happy with the spirit of his dead wife? If everything went fine with his marriage till one night at dinner his wife asked him to pass the knife, which he did, right through her.

Then he hit her body of the town bell. That's where he made a big mistake, because the next morning she told on him. It's inner sanctum mystery, only the dead die twice, was written by Ed Adamson and Bob Sloan and stars Larry Haynes in the role of Johnny with Alice Reinhardt as Vera.

Sit right down and make yourselves uncomfortable. If you don't see any murder you want, just ask boy. Ready for tonight's catalytic continuity. Okay then. Let's get to Johnny Bryce as he tells his story. It all started only four hours ago when I put the wagon away for the night.

Ask me how I took a job like that driving the horse. Well ask me and I'll tell you I needed a job. Any kind. But it's a job you never get used to. All the time is that box riding in back of you.

Four hours ago I got out of the wagon and started to hit for Joe's grill. But I never got to Joe's. Hello? She was standing at the door. Even in the bad light of the garage she did things to address that not your eyes are.

So I picked up my eyes and looked again. I've been waiting for you. All your life? An hour of it anyway, Johnny. Hey, you know my name? Mm-hmm. Johnny Bryce. I know a lot about you.
