Transcript

Mr. District Attorney, champion of the people, defender of truth, guarding of our fundamental rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Mr. District Attorney is brought to you by Vitalis, V-I-T-A-L-I-S. Vitalis, the famous preparation that keeps your hair well-groomed and used with a speedy 60-second workout, helps you to keep your hair.

And it shall be the duty of the district attorney, not only to prosecute for the limit of the law, all persons accused of crimes perpetrated within this county, but to defend with equal vigor the rights and privileges of all its citizens.

Our case tonight opens in a recently completed defense factory, located in your district attorney's city. Mr. Winstead, the personnel manager of the plant, is visually working in his desk. Winstead speaking? Hello Mr. Winstead. Yes.

Yes, my name is Pess. Yes, not a single one. Why? I didn't figure you were. Are you applying for a job, sir? No. Well, look, old men. I'm very busy right now. I'm a skilled worker, not you.

Yes, yes. I need them very badly, but if you want an option. How many guys are you figure you need? At least 100 immediately. And why should that concern you? Look, you're wasting my time.

I spent weeks coming every available source to find men. It just aren't any to be found. You can get me 100 skilled workers. That's right. Very well. I'll be ready in half an hour. Where are we going, Mr. Preston?

Oh, we'll just ride around a little. I can't spend much time with you. Well, this shouldn't take long, Mr. Winstead. You say you can get me 100 skilled workers. Is that all you need? No, I can use as many as you find.
