And now the Mole Mystery Center, presented by M-O-L-L-E. Mole, the heavier brushless 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 modern tale of suspense entitled, The Doctor and Balloonethic. It was written by Richard Connell, author of that well-known classic, The Most Dangerous Game. And in it, you are going to meet a most dangerous killer.

An unknown madman with a strange obsession. Oh, say, speaking of madman, Mr. Barnes, ever hear of a fellow who went raving from shaving? Oh, I know, Dan. You mean absolutely mad? Well, not exactly. You see, shaving used to make him awful sore.

That is, until he shaved with mole. Now he's raving over the smooth, slick shave he gets. Yes, sir, man. It's smooth. So smooth. It's slick. So slick. It's a smooth, smooth, slick, slick, shape you get with M-O-L-L-E.

Mole, the heavier brushless shaving cream for tender skins. Yes, Mole is the shaving cream that's heavier. The cream you need if you have a wily hard to cut beard or tender skin. Because Mole is heavier, it not only softens your whiskers, It stands them up straight while your razor cuts them off close and clean.

So you shave faster, closer, easier, and you shave painlessly with mole. The heavier brushless shaving cream for tender skin. And now for tonight's mole mystery, the doctor and balloon addict. Ah, doesn't it? Our man will pick his own sanity for granted.

Harder still that he will never question the sanity of his neighbor. In the very midst of civilization, we live in a jungle, never knowing where nor where a warped mind may slip its shackles and turn the well-disciplined body into a volcanic eruption of lustful hate.
