Gentlemen Prefer Horses

My name's Regan. I work for Anthony J. Lyon, Detective Bureau. They call me the lion's eye. Sunday at 8.30 and CBS brings you Jeff Regan, Investigator, starring Frank Graham as Regan with Frank Nelson as Anthony J. Lyon. So stand by for Mystery, Suspense and Adventure. In tonight's transcribed story, gentlemen prefer horses. Like they say in the racing form, it was a clear day,

track fast in a field of seven. Anyway, you looked at it. The smart money was on the Stevens entry, except for me. I had a hot tip from a guy named Crenshaw, a jockey who finished in a dead heat with a bullet.

I'm off into the lion's office that Tuesday afternoon. His hands were folded across two hundred pounds of chest and he wasn't being too particular about the cigar ashes on his vest. It was an expensive cigar.

Kindly lit up on his birthday, New Year's, In a funeral. Well, well, well, come in, come in, Jeffrey, my boy. This is a fine day of very fine day. Yeah, I can tell by the smell.

Dalles a guy? 50 Centers, they were out of my usual brand. Ah, price of ropes gone up. Who cares? Today, we're living off the fan of the land. Today, we're having champagne and caviar. The figuratively of course.

Yeah, sounds like fancy figures. Who furnished them? Who? Who put our new client, Jeffrey, today? You and I have the pleasure of serving a young man named Boots Crenshaw. How's that again? He Boots Crenshaw.

I just want to be sure. Oh, the name, it is a little odd. You see, Boots was quite a noted jockey several years ago, retired, moved to Los Angeles. Now he needs our help. How much?
