The Violent Van Pattons

Personal notice, dangerous my stock and 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.

Before we begin tonight's adventure, here's a reminder about gasoline. If horns shall move over, then you'd better switch now to the gas with all eight, chevron supreme. A balanced blend of all eight high-performance qualities, Chevron Supreme gives you full power, quick-starting, fast-warm-up, area-blending, vapor-lock prevention, anti-nock, smooth acceleration, and economy mileage.

Stop in soon and fill up with a gas with all eight Chevron Supreme gasoline at standard stations and independent Chevron gas stations, where they say, and mean, we take better care of your car. All tonight's story, the violent Van Patents, the Transcribed Adventure of George Valentine.

Dear Mr. Valentine, I suppose many families have their own special kind of curse, but Van Patents have the curse of violence. A sort of violence that's been born of the roaring crash of the sea, and the loneliness of Ferg-Hone Island, and laughter that has no mercy in it at all.

I know all this doesn't make much sense, But you must at least try and understand it if you're going to help me. And I need help, Mr. Valentine. Please meet a man named Max at the foot of the 8th Street Bridge.

He'll have a boat and he'll take you and Miss Brooks to see the violent Van Patten's. Sincerely, Leader Van Patten. But Max, there must be something you can tell us about the Van Patten's. I only work for the Captain Lister.

I don't talk about him or his folks. That's a very noble attitude, but we're not really trying to pry in the family secret. Sir, we have unclap. Is she the captain's wife? Nice. I see.
