Personal notice, staying just my stockin' trade. If the job's too tough for you to handle, you've got a job for me, George Valentine. Right, full details. Standard Oil Company of California invites you to...

Let George do it. In just a moment, we'll begin tonight's adventure of George Valentine. If you're a regular listener, you know that new RPM motor oil doubles engine life, the time between major overhauls due to lubrication.

Now actual case histories prove this fact. Even a cab company operating in the tough grind, all cabs go through, found new RPM reduced engine wear 71%. So for top protection, get new RPM motor oil for your car at any standard station or independent chevron gas station where they say, and mean, we take better care of your car.

And now tonight's story, surprise, surprise. another adventure of George Valentine. Dear Mr. Valentine, surprise, surprise. Come to me and your in for a lovely surprise. If you receive this note from a member of your family, your uncle, you'd probably look forward to the surprise.

To me, these words are frightening. They make me shudder. And yet I have to find out what's behind them. So you must help me. You must come along with me. Please. Please do not fail me.

Sincerely, the Normazan. So are your uncles a bad boy and a practical joker from way back? There are many like you. That's right, Lenore. You may want to strangle some of them, but they're usually pretty harmless.

Uncle Glenn's always been vicious. Cruel. The family hasn't seen him in years. Family? Yes, my mother, before she died. She was his only sister. But I think Uncle Glenn's always hated her. I understand he hasn't seen his brother, Uncle Jason, for years either.
