Our story tonight is a fast-paced, up-to-the-minute mystery, by Dwight V. Babcock, its title, Homicide for Hammock. Our detective tonight is different. She is a beautiful blonde bombshell named Hannah Van Doren. But the story is Joe Kirby.

And Mr. Kirby is here to tell you that story himself. Mr. Kirby. Thank you, Mr. Barn. The story really started on the day I lost my job. I've been selling high priced cars and a recter custom built job that sold for 15,000.

Well, that afternoon I met my friend, Terry O'Connor, at his office. And we started out for a short period. I don't think I'm very worried about losing a job. Well, why should I? You've been a sports columnist on that paper so long, Terry.

You've forgotten how easy it is to get a new job. How are all the little O'Connor's? Well, I don't want to know when you're coming over to dinner again. I tell her any time I'm invited.
