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. And now here is our star David Bryan as Paul Garrett, Mr. District Attorney. District Attorney knows that crime is no respecter of social position.

You can strike in the slums of the city or it can strike, as this case did in the vast and wealthy estates in the suburbs. The time is 1.37 a.m. An Howard Martin, a wealthy industrialist, is awakened from his sleep by the sound of his daughter screaming.

What's the matter? What happened to him? Honey, don't do yourself. There was a man with a bandana over his face. Where, honey? Where? The old rose near the lake. We were parked there listening to the music on the car radio when all of a sudden...

Oh, he was horrible. Sit down, I call him police. Then you're gonna have a doctor. It's something for your nerves. He tried to hold us up. Bob had a gun in the car. They fought for it.

Operator, hit me the police. I want to report a murder. Honey! Leave! Wake up, somebody! Wake up! The button has said we could wait here in the library, Chief.

Doctors still in with the girl. It might be bad shock. She tells you where the killing took place, Hanging? Yeah. One of the old roads down by the lake over the state park. I've got three squads beating around the lake roads now.
