A Slight Case Of Perjury

Ladies and gentlemen, the ringing of that phone bell brings you mystery adventure They're all Wolf's office Archie Goodwin speaking just a moment, please Hey boss, uh, mr. Tom Wilcox wants an appointment. How about one o'clock? How'd you know appointments today?

I intend to put some dendrobium offsets one o'clock will be fine mr. Wilcox He the Tom Wilcox who was acquitted yesterday of the murder of their singer Keith Hansen mr. Wilcox are you the Tom Wilcox who?

Oh, you are, I say. What does he want with me? Mr. Wilcox, why do you say Mr. Wolf services? I say, well, our fee is $1,000 with a retainer of $500, okay? Oh, yes, Mr. Wolf will see you.

What's that? Hey, what was that? Hey, hey, Mr. Wilcox, how are you celebrating? Hey, you just put someone was at the window and I heard a shot and he dropped the phone. Plus, I'm afraid we've just lost a client.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's that renowned genius. It was the bulkiest, bulkiest, most ponderous, and most brilliant detective in the world. Yes, none other than that chair-borne mass of unpredictable intellect, Nero Wolfe, created by Rex Stout, and brought to you in a new series of adventures of this NBC network in the person of Mr. Sidney Green Street.

This episode as one Nero Wolfe refers to is a slight case of perjury. It all started with a phone call from Tom Wilcox in the ensuing shot which I was sure had brought our new found income to an early end.

Anyway, there was the shot and... Hello? Mr. Wilcox? Hello? Oh boss, I've certainly waited long enough for him to come back to the phone. We may have just lost a nice bankroll. Nonsense, aren't you, other clients? We're the rescuers. Now for a cool bottle of beer, Archie.
