Transcript

The makers of Mars' coconut bar and all those other good Mars candy bars invite you through the creaking door for another thrilling inner sanctum mystery. Tonight, the smile of death starring Larry Hayes. You, friends, of the creaking door.

This is your host to welcome you once again into the inner sanctum. Come on in. Say, are you busy? We are. Yes, sir. It's been a week of corpse packed. Always say, die, frenzied activities.

That even had our zombies complaining about their blood pressure. Ha ha ha ha. To make our horror complete, some enterprising creep even scheduled a revival meeting. But the project somehow never got off the ground.

I guess that's because some people just don't revive. Yes, there's throwing mystery, waiting in the inner sanctum, but first, this is Alan's Eantony, making up a little mystery about another thriller. It's something delicious, refreshing, and deeply satisfying.

It starts out way up in a tall tree, bathed in sunshine and ocean breezes. Know what it is? Well, here's another clue. When it's freshly shredded, it's snowy white, juicy rich, delicious. Yes, you guessed it, coconut.

And when it's in a Mars coconut bar, it's always the finest Philippine coconut, the very bet. Yes, that's the answer, the perfect answer to your crave for coconut. All wrapped up thick in deep dark chocolate.

The Mars Coconut Bar, a new taste thrill. And it's still a mystery how any candy bar can taste that good. And now, for tonight's proof that some men diligently build their own gallows. Our builder and candidate for extinction is Archie Davis, a young man with a blind spot that he couldn't quite erase without erasing himself.
