Transcript

My name's Regan. I work for Anthony J. Lyon Detective Bureau. They call me the lion's eye. Jeff Regan, investigator starring Paul Dubavas Regan with Frank Nelson as Anthony J. Lyon. So stand by for mystery and suspense and adventure in tonight's transcribed story.

Oil for the lamps of Burbank. There was a girl in it, a young pretty girl about 19, and her father, a scared little man who who couldn't remember the last time he'd had an opinion. There was a boy about the girl's age, and he was dead. And then there was a woman. It all started with a phone call, a

simple little five-cent phone call that the lion answered that Friday afternoon. Only what you didn't guess was that the conversation on the other end of the line was more than five cents worth of trouble.

Yes, yes, I've got that. Could you speak a little louder, please? Oh, yes, indeed. I I'll send a man right out. Hello? Hello? Hang up on your fat song? You are, is it? Jeffrey! I'm glad you got here.

Sounds bad. Oh, Jeffrey, it is bad. That poor man. He could hardly get the words out. What's his name, lion? Eh, name? I don't know. He talks so softly, I barely understood him. But you said you'd send the man out.

Well, I did get the address, Jeffrey. It's in Burbank, 216 North Cordova's treat. He told me that, before he told me the rest. What's the rest? Well, there's something about his daughter. She's in jail for murder.

Then he mentions someone else I think it was his wife. He wasn't sure. He wasn't sure if she was his wife? Well, he just didn't seem sure of anything. He didn't or you didn't? No, Jeffrey. You know I always get the facts of the case.
