Strange Will! Starring the distinguished Hollywood actor Warren William and featuring Peggy Weber and William Conrad with Howard Culver and an all-star Hollywood cat. Original music by Del Castillo. Dead Men's Will's 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 Crosswind. But first, now back to Warren William as John Francis O'Connell in Crosswind. This story opens in a state prison where Patrick Malone is awaiting execution by hanging.
His crime studied career was finally terminated by the police, and after a fair and impartial trial he was sentenced to death for murder. After all of his appeals had been denied, Malone was transferred to the state prison to await his execution. Shortly after midnight, the guards and the main cell block are making their round.
God! Oh, so it's you, kill him alone. I thought you was a tough guy. I'm dying. You're I had a scheduled killer. That comes later. Oh, the saw bones. I'm tired. I'll come in and take a look and see first killer.
But if you've got any funny ideas, remember there's three doors you gotta open before you reach a wall. You won't mind if I lock myself in, will you, killer? That'll make four doors. Saw bones.
Getting saw bones. I'm not gonna wake the saw bones until I know you need them. Now what you be? What? What? What? It got me a drink. Well... For it's cold enough. Maybe it's your conscience killer.
Maybe you're seeing ghosts in the night. Ghosts are those guys you bump. Oh, what? Okay, okay, I'll get you a drink. You're still sick after this drink. Tell the guard on the next relief. He'll be on in seven minutes.
