Dig, the Thief

Kathy and Elliot Lewis on stage. Elliot Lewis, two of the most distinguished names in radio. Appearing each week in their own theater, starring in a repertory of transcribed stories of their own and your choosing.

Radio's foremost players in radio's foremost plays. Drama, comedy, adventure, mystery, melodrama. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Elliot Lewis. Good evening. May I present my wife, Kathy. Good evening. A thief and his money are soon parted.

What was that? A misquote. It should be a fool, but I want to explain something about tonight's story. Which is called Dig the Thief, and is about a man named John Bigby, played by you.

And his adventures in the state of New Mexico with a lovely girl named Cecily, played by you. The script was written by Morten Fine and David Friedkin. And, as a matter of fact, there are several thieves involved.

I'm not the only one. But to find that out, we dig the sea. Oh, well, there it is. There's the town.

Spread out like she is. Like a little jewel in the valley. Can I say something, Mr. Digby? It's allowed. I never saw the town I was looking so pretty. Full of moon and all. All the people sleeping peaceful.

Ain't gonna last long, is it? As long as I've been hanging around the ranch, Mr. Digby, we never had a shivery like this. Are you sure or something? Well, good to have you aboard. Did James and girl okay?

I'm right here beside you, Mr. Digby. I'm fine. Riding the way you said, posting the way you said, you know, works out real nice. Well, pass the word back. Get ready. Get ready. Get ready.
