The Plaid Overcoat Case

The makers of camel cigarettes present thick power as Richard Diamond, private detective. Steady, pack after pack smoking is the only sensible way to tell how a cigarette will get along with your throat.

In a test from coast to coast, hundreds of people smoked only camels for 30 days. Noted throat specialists made weekly examinations and reported not one single case of throat irritation due to smoking camels. Make your own camel 30-day test. Smoke only camels for 30 days. See how well camels agree with your throat, pack after pack,

week after week. Here transcribed is Richard Diamond, private detective starring Dick Powell. Diamond detective agency, help. Rick, what's the matter? Just that Hellen dare help. I haven't had a client in three weeks.

Well, I'll take you to dinner tonight and fatten you up. No, I'm not hungry. You couldn't just send the money, could you? No, go ahead and starve. Fertie Parker asked me to dinner. Oh sure, your old boyfriend, the very old one.

Rick Fertie is really a very nice boy. Please, pull on the fine-making. So do horses. Well, do I go out with Fertie or don't I? Hellen, and lose the chance of watching me stuff myself?

Now, you tell Ferdy you've got to do some research on a tape worm. I'll see you in ten minutes. Bye. Diamond? That's right, but I'm leaving now. Come back tomorrow. This won't wait, Lamara. My name's Duke Crandall.

How do you do? Pretty well in the dark. Rick, there. I know it's a nasty habit, but I get so annoyed when people keep me waiting over an hour. Hello, how are you? I took a nap.
