LGDI - (HSG Synd.#016) - Man Behind the Frame

Personal notice, Stange is my stockin' trade. If the job's too tough for you to handle, you got a job for me, George Valentine. Right full details. You've all heard of the man behind the plow, or of the man behind the gun.

But have you ever heard of the man behind the frame? Well, if you haven't, you are right now. Because that's the title of our Let George do it adventure. Now, one does not have to have a high IQ to figure out that the man behind the frame is not some small character who keeps that picture of Uncle Egbert hanging up over the fireplace.

On the contrary, he's the kind of schmoe who likes to have others fight his battles for him. And George Valentine is a fellow who is always ready to put on the gloves, with or without horseshoes.

Now it all started with a bunch of the boys getting together for a little ad lib singfest, which is a pretty solid way to start anything. Hold it you guys shut up shut up will ya I'm trying to talk on the telephone. How can I?

That's better bunch of crazy banshees hello Yes, yes now I can hear you Lawrence Ferguson the kid was sure he works for me came down from Emmett's bill with me just yesterday What do you do get high on too much soda pop? Oh?

Look friend where we are. I'm no nursemate. Don't bother me with any of this Shut up, you guys! You what? When? Where did he? Lieutenant, for God's sakes, tell me. All right. Of course. County Jail. I got it.

Dear Mr. Valentine, my name's Vic Burnett, Federal Office Equipment Company. You remember the guy sold you the wire recorder for your office? Well, I'll cancel out the last three payments on it if you come down fast to the county jail.
