Strange Wills. Starring the distinguished Hollywood actor Warren William and featuring Marvin Miller and John Conroy with Howard Culfer and an all-star Hollywood cast. Original music by Del Castillo. Dead Men's Wills are often strange. We cannot attempt to understand them or try to find the answers.
We can but tell a story. This is Warren William bringing you the story, The Killer and the Saint. But first... The Killer and the Saint, starring Warren William as John Francis O'Connell.
Two brothers met for the first time in three years. Met on the brink of an open grave in a wind-swept cemetery. A cold, driving snow almost obliterated the little handful of mourners. At the head of the grave stood the minister in toning the prayers for the dead.
To his right was Don Cohen, son of the deceased. He stood alone, head bowed, his face etched in sorrow. Across the open grave were two other men. One somber, heavy set, paid no attention to the service.
The man next to him, his bare head covered with snow, was David Cohen, also a son of the deceased. As the service is near the end... Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. May the soul of the deceased Michael Kerwin be consigned to the ever-loving arms of the Savior.
Amen. Mind if I say a few words to my brother? I haven't seen him in three years. Can't see nothing wrong in that. But the cops stay on, sonny boy. Okay, but keep him covered up and I'll use letting everybody know.
Come on, let's go. Hiya, Don. Well, I'll be. You two guys look enough and like to be... Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with Mo'N Eyes. Well, brothers, identical twins. You don't have to tell me, kid. Like two peas in a pod.
