Portsmouth Square

Strange Wills. Starring the distinguished Hollywood actor Warren William, and featuring William Conrad and Nina Clouden with Howard Culver 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 the story. This is Warren William bringing you the story, Portsmouth Square, but first a brief word from your announcer. And now, Portsmouth Square, starring Warren William as the probate lawyer John Francis O'Connell.

The discovery of gold in the Sacramento Valley brought thousands of daring reckless men to San Francisco and the gold fields. wake came the human vultures, thieves, gamblers, and adventurous women. These pillars of the underworld built the Barbary Coast, a section of San Francisco dedicated to depravity, vice, and glamour. Among the worst dyes on Portsmouth Square, the heart of the Barbary

Coast was horseshoe harry's emporium. Paul, handsome, and exceedingly wicked, horseshoe Harry had the reputation of never turning down a dishonest dollar nor a pretty woman. One night a girl walked into her shoe Harry's emporium, her eyes were blue, a chin firm, and her dress obviously of eastern cut.

Her unexpected appearance threw the place into a furor. Pushing her way through the shouting milling crowd, she finally reached one of the waiter girls whose short dress just met the top of her long black silk stocking.

I beg your pardon. What you're trying to do is start a riot. Where can I find Mr. Horseshoe Harry? What you want him for? He don't see girls unless by invitation. Anyway if you're half as smart as you look, you better blow like a breeze before you get manhandled.
