Madman's Diary

Strange Wills Starring the distinguished Hollywood actor Warren William and featuring Lorraine Tuttle with Howard Culver and an all-star Hollywood cast. Original music by Del Castillo. Dead men's wills are often strange. We do not attempt to understand them or try to find the answers.

We can but tell the story. This is Warren William bringing you the story, Madman's Diary. But first, Madman's Diary with Warren William as John Francis O'Connell. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

This honorable probate court is now in session. Be seated, please. Right. You may call the first case, Mr. Clerk. The probate case of Lucifer Nikolai deceased. If the court, please. I would like to mention very briefly the background of this, well, unusual matter. You may proceed, Mr. O'Connell. Lucifer Nikolai, perhaps I should say Professor

Lucifer Nikolai deceased, left a last will and a testament which I wish to bring to the attention of this honorable court. Has the estate of the late professor been inventoried? Yes, your honor. The entire estate is of no monetary value. It consists of a diary. The diary of Professor Lucifer Nikolai. Perhaps the diary has sentimental value.

To whom was it left? If the court pleased that he ceased has no heirs, no necks of kin. He left his diary in his own words, to a world of fools and skeptics. Have you read the diary, Mr. O'Connell?

Unfortunately, I have. In your opinion, has it any practical value or scientific data that may prove a value to humanity? That your honor, I am not in a position to answer. This much I can say, however.

Professor Lucifer Nikolai was either the greatest scientist of all time, or he succeeded Ananias, as the king of liars. With the court's permission, I would like to read the diary of the late professor Nikolai, and at the conclusion thereof let the court determine what should be done with this only asset of the late professor's estate.
