Transcript

Strange Wills. Starring the distinguished Hollywood actor Warren William and featuring Peggy Weber and Carlton Young with an all-star Hollywood cast. Original music by Del Castillo. Dead Men's Wills are often a strain. We cannot attempt to understand them or to try to find the answers.

We can but tell the story. This is Warren William bringing you the story, Penthouse Orphan, but first here's a brief message from your announcer. Oh back to Warren William as John Francis O'Connell in Penthouse Orphan. Probably the most exciting phone call I have received was

the one from my good friend and bachelor client Felix Grayson. I admit that I was totally unprepared for what he had to tell me. Honestly John, honestly I'm I'm going to be a father. Felix, that's the best one you've come up with yet.

You, a bachelor father. But you don't have to believe me. No one does. But it's a solemn truth. It says so. Right here in this letter I received from Paris today. From Paris did you say?

Well, you've never even been to Paris. You gay young blade? I know, I know. But let me read you part of the letter. Then you'll get what I'm talking about. I'm all ears. I quote, Felix, when you receive this letter I shall probably be gone.

But you will hear from my lawyer regarding the trust fund I've set up in my last will and testament. Ah-ha, so you're an heir, eh? Well, congratulations. Wait, I'll be finished. The money left you in the trust fund is to go for the education and support of my little baby, Babette.

I'm sending her to you by plane. Bring her up as though she were your own. Say, just who is sending you this Babette? It's a third-a-fourth cousin by marriage. I've never seen her in my life.
