Transcript

The amazing Mr. Malone. Hello operator. Operator, get me the office of John Chameleau. The American Broadcasting Company presents the amazing Mr. Malone. An exciting half-hour of mystery starring Dean Raymond. Our locale is the city of Chicago.

My name means little to you, ain't it? Mr. Cromwell. Not a thing. That's my wife's would mean more. The given name is Laura. Laura Riker is your incredible, isn't it? What do you want here?
