Lady Esther presents the Screen Guild Players. The Screen Guild Player Tonight. The Devil and Miss Jones. The Starring Players. This is Lorraine Day. This is Charles Coburn. And this is George Murphy. Tonight, Lady Esther presents the Screen Guild Players in that delightful RKO story about the richest man

in the world, the Devil and Miss Jones. Charles Coburn plays the richest man, JP Merrick. Lorraine Day plays Miss Jones. And George Murphy plays the boyfriend, Joe O'Brien. As the richest man in the world, JP Merrick had almost forgotten he owned the Nealey Department store.

Until the day the store's unhappy employees hung him in effigy. The next day, the store had a new employee. The personnel manager's confidential files described a new employee as Thomas Higgins, a private detective hired by the Merrick Enterprises.

But when Higgins reached his home after his first day in the store, his butt were greeted him with the... How do you name Mr. Merrick? Good evening, George. Any one of the talks suspect who we are, Mr. Merrick?

No one. The personnel manager thinks I'm a detective, and the rest of the employees regard me as an old popper. Can you imagine that, George? Me a popper? Well, congratulations, sir. A boy or girl, sir.

Can't found it, George. Will you stop listening to Abbott and Costello? Why was I? You'd just become a papa, sir. Uh-oh. Yes. In fact, one of my new associates, Miss Mary Jones, was so certain that I was impoverished, she forced me to share her lunch.

We had tuna fish, pop over. Tuna fish, pop over? Yes. Tuna fish, pop over. And if I'm not sick tonight, or tomorrow at the latest, my fancy doctor, Shindla, from Vienna, wished that he was back in Vienna.
