Transcript

Ladies and gentlemen, the ringing of that phone bell brings you mystery adventure. Narrow Wolf's office, Archie Goodwin speaking. No, I'm sorry, Mr. Wolf is busy planning a menu. I'll see if he can talk to you.

What's the name again? You want to talk to a dame named Mrs. Collins? Hang on, Archie. Do we know Mrs. Collins? No. I don't suppose you care, but I think her voice is very charming.
