Strange Wheels. Stories of Strange Wheels made by Strange People, starring the distinguished Hollywood actor Warren William, and featuring Marvin Miller and Lorraine Tuttle with Howard Culver, and the original music of Del Castillo. I devise and bequeathe to my heirs the seven deadly sins.
Despair, anger, jealousy, revenge, lust, and hate. And here is Warren William. These are the stories of strange wills gathered from probate courts the world over. Many of them written on death beds or under highly emotional circumstances clearly show that the writers of the will who use this last chance of self-expression to vindicate within their own hearts the flagrant sins of omission and
remission made during their lifetimes. Names, places, and times have all been changed in order that no reflection may fall on any person or person's living or dead. When the dusty vaults of the probate court, we bring you documentary proof of the old adage that man is the strangest of all creatures. You'll presently see what I mean. But first, I'd
like to have you listen to a few words from your announcer. Now back to Warren William as John Francis O'Connell in black interlude.
Of all the sins that live within the human heart, none is so deadly, so lasting as hate. Unchecked it bears the bitter fruit of mental and spiritual annihilation, nor does it always end with death.
Its vibrations reach out of the grave like the tentacles of an octopus in a last effort to win the final victory of a bitter revenge. Why did Francis X Blair hate his only son Paul?
With a hatred as intense and boundless as the elements. The reason is as old as Eve. Francis X Blair rich handsome under widower and his son Paul were both in love with the same girl.
