Appointment with Danger

From Hollywood, the Hollywood Ready All Theater. Appointment with danger. Ladies and gentlemen, you are producer, Mr. Irving Cummings. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. The famous Canadian mountain police have a reputation for always getting their man.

We have the same tenacious persistent federal agents in our own country, and one of them is a postal inspector. In tonight's drama, Paramount Pictures has presented our agent with an assignment that turns into an exciting appointment with danger.

And as our stars, we have that popular actor William Holden, and playing opposite him, lovely Colleen Gray. Now, appointment with danger. Starring William Holden has allagarded and Colleen Gray as sister Augustine. The United States Post Office is the biggest business in the world.

Every year it handles 45 billion pieces of mail, and enough money to pay off the personal deaths of everyone in the country. Policing that activity is the job of 800 postal inspectors. This is an account of one of those jobs, and it begins in La Port, Indiana, where a few hours ago, the body of Inspector Harry Gruber was found in an alley.

And now in the city post office... All right, I'll watch you say, make sense, I suppose. Gruber was either drunk when they strangled him or asleep, But he never drank, so he must have been asleep.

Here in La Porte? Well, I don't believe it, Maury. He was killed somewhere else and brought here. That could be any place. Gruber was on a floating assignment all over Indiana. Yeah. Man, it's a rat race now.

Until we find that nun. None? Oh, you mean one of those sisters? That's right. She was passing that alley last night. She saw two men walking with Gruber supporting him. When she asked if anything was wrong, one of the men said something about their friend being drunk.
