Transcript

Peter Laurie, here again to welcome you to the mystery playhouse. Tonight we bring you a story by Jonathan Latimer called Lady Inamog. It offers detectives Crane and O'Malley the delightful problem of solving three murders and interviewing a lovely brunette, A lady who is mysteriously related to the unsolved crimes.

Come with me to the morgue for the beginning of our little story, huh? Don't let these thieves bother you. Their troubles are over. But for those two detectives over there, the murders are just beginning.

Down these steps, right this way. Come, come, come. I'm going nuts hanging around here. Oh, stop squawking, O'Malley. Three days, just sitting in a morgue. I'm beginning to feel like a stiff myself. Look, I don't like it any better than you do, O'Malley, but we're hired as private detective to sit here.

And we're going to sit here until somebody identifies a Dame's body. OK. How do you know Alice Ross isn't Alice Ross? Why don't you stop being a jerk? That name's a phony. You know, Crane, the whole thing seems phony to me.

What? Who is this rich New York guy, Courtland? He hires us by a telegram. We've never seen him. And why is he so interested in this little blonde? Who commits suicide? Look, I don't think it's gonna do any good, but I'm gonna tell you for the last time.

He thinks it's a sister, Catherine Courtland. She ran away from home a couple of years ago, Chasing after some musician. Mmm, gee. Hey, that's the desk bill. Looks like the morgue's got a customer. Leave him in the antenna, nor answer it.

Where is he? Where is he? Where is he? Anyhow. Down in the vaults with the stips. Well, then maybe we better answer it, O'Malley. Might be somebody to clean the body. Uh, looking for someone, mister?
