Transcript

Mr. District Attorney, starring David Bryan. Mr. District Attorney, champion of the people, defender of truth, guardian of our fundamental rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And it shall be my duty as District Attorney, not only to prosecute to 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. This is David Bryan. In a moment we'll bring you another case from the files of Mr. District Attorney. The first word from our sponsor.

This case started late one night at the service station on the outskirts of the city. Sorry fellas, but I'm just closing for the night. We need some gas. I've already locked the pumps. There's an all-night place by two blocks of big truck stop. You can't miss it.

You hear that, Fred? Yeah, Benny. I heard. Man, don't want to wait on his, Fred. I didn't say that. I said I'm closed. He's laughing at us, Benny. He thinks it's funny that he don't want to wait on us.

There's no point in getting out of the car. I'm not going to wait on you. I'm not gonna wait on you. Hey that Fred, this a real nasty guy. Yeah, no wonder his wife don't like him.

What's that supposed to mean? You know Benny, this guy ain't very bright. Yeah maybe his wife never told him. Maybe she didn't wanna hurt his feelings. What are you guys up to? What's the name?
