Transcript

Mr. District Attorney, starring David Bryant. 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

The right 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 the word from our sponsor. And now here is our star David Bryan as Paul Garrett.

Mr. District Attorney. The ugliest word known to a district attorney is blackmail. An evil in itself that can also breed other and more violent crimes. It frequently ends in murder. Take the case of Larry Cashman, a used car dealer.

I'm kind of short of folding money, but you might be a pal. Help me out again. You know what this is, don't you, striker? The Lord Colored has shaped down. I gave you a hundred dollars two weeks ago, and another hundred a month before that.

Does money last forever? I need more. You're not getting more. Not from me. Well, it's too bad. I'm sorry you feel like way, Mr. Cashman. I thought you were a nice guy, the kind of a guy I'd like to see raise my baby.
