Transcript

Strange Wills. Starring Warren William and featuring Lorraine Tuttle and Carleton Young, 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.

Big Marlo and I introduced ourselves and then took off for the casino bar. Now I'll tell you what I asked you here for a drink, Mr. O'Connell. Well, Nick, now that we're friends and compatriots, let's drop the formalities.
