Transcript

And now the Mole Mystery Theater, presented by M-O-L-L-E. Mole, the heavier brush was shaving cream for tender skin. Good evening. This is Jeffrey Barnes, welcoming you to the program that presents the best in mystery and detective fiction.

Tonight's Story is a hard-boiled gangster tale, written by Martin Ryerson and entitled, Alibi for murder. It's about a very ordinary young man named Dave Whitman, who was destined from birth to be involved in two gangland killings.

Here's destined from birth. Puzzling? Perhaps it'll all be quite clear when you meet gangster Steve Yeager. Before you begin your story, Mr. Barnes, here's some good advice for men. If you have a wiry hard-to-cut beard or a tender skin, and that morning shape of yours is just short of murder, Then shave with mole, the heavier brushless shaving cream.

Yes, sir, man, it's smooth. So smooth. It's slick. So slick. It's smooth, smooth, slick, slick, shave you get with M-O-L-L-E. Mole, the heavier brushless cream for tender skins. That's right, mole is a heavier cream.

The kind of cream you need if you have wiry whiskers or a tender skin. Because MOLA is heavier, it not only softens your whiskers, it stands them up straighter and makes them easy to cut.

So you shave faster, closer, easier, and you shave painlessly with MOLA. The heavier brushless cream for tender skins. MOLA. And now here is Jeffrey Barnes with tonight's MOLA mystery, Alibi Pomer. Three men stand in the windowless, ill-lighted little room in the huge warehouse.

They are staring in awe at the unconscious man, sprawled out on the rickety cart before them. Finally, one of the men speaks. It's unbelievable, Steve. I read about things like this, but I never expected to see it actually happen.
