Transcript

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 to tell you the story of the girl in cell 13, but first a word from your announcer. Now back to Warren William as John Francis O'Connell in the girl in cell 13.

The history of the tears of the Madonna, the most precious perfectly matched pair of rubies ever found by man, is as colourful as the gems themselves, and their blood red radiance is symbolic of the blood that has run freely throughout the pages of history in the quest for possession of these two priceless gems. For the past five years the tears of the Madonna had been in

the possession of Charles Ashbrook, retired insurance executive. A bachelor, he lived in strict seclusion attended only by his secretary, Malcolm Stewart, and the charming intelligent Sandra Lane. Upon Ms. Lane's very beautiful shoulders had fallen the task of buying most of the gems and precious stones in the famous Ashbrook collection. Her knowledge of the

histories of rare stones was exceptional. I always liked to visit Charles Ashbrook if for no other reason than to see the tears of the monadon. So when I was invited over on a Sunday night, I lost no time in accepting.

Glad to see you, John. Glad to see you. It's quite mutual, Charles, believe me. And how are the tears tonight? the tears of the Madonna. Well, you're going to be surprised by what I've decided to do with them. Do with them? You don't mean to tell me you intend to sell them? No, not sell.
