Auto light and its 96,000 dealers present a spend. Tonight, Auto light brings you the lady in the red hat. A suspense place starring Mr. Van Heffler. The way the woman was killed last night proves he's right.

That's the point of suppressing the articles. Is there any doubt in your mind that this new murder was committed by the Avenger? Am I an either? So what? All right, okay Chief. Oh, hello Mitch.

Who's that, Chief Naylor? Yeah, they want us to stop those articles you're writing. Oh, what's the matter? Well, it's not so much the Avengers, the way you keep hopping on those theories you've got about them.

Well, I think I'm right. But you've got every woman in the city scared to death. That's why I want you to lay off. Five women have been murdered in three months and they're all wearing red and they're closed.

I see that mean something and they want me to lay off. Look, this isn't me. We hired you to do a feature column in a Sunday supplement because you've got a big following. Psychology have been a great idea, but...

Excuse me. Yeah? Mr. Banning, is this the Mitchell in there? Yeah? All right, switch the call in here. Yes. Use this phone, Mitch. Thanks. Hello? Yes, Mrs. White. Oh, thank you. No, don't worry. That's all right.

Yes, I won't be home until after midnight then. I don't know. I'll find out though an anonymous note slipped under my door. Somebody wants me to meet the Avenger at midnight. In just a moment Mr. Van Hefflin in the first act of the Lady in the Red Hat.
