Transcript

And now, AutoLite and its 60,000 dealers and service stations present... Suspense! Tonight, AutoLite brings you Miss Joan Fontaine in... Lovebirds. A suspense play, produced and directed by Anton M. Leader. Rans replace old narrow-gap spark plugs with wide-gap auto-light resistor spark plugs.

Your car will idle smoother, give you better performance on leaner gas mixtures, actually save gas dollars. It's the new thing. Yes, Sir E. Fran's Autolight regular TypeSpark plugs have long been standard factory equipment on many leading makes of cars and trucks.

And now six, that's right, six of these leading makes of cars and trucks have switched to the new Autolight Resistor TypeSpark plugs for factory installation on their new 1949 models. The new Autolight Resistor Spark plugs are the spark plugs of today and the future.

Remember, you're right with Autolight. And now, AutoLite presents Miss Joan Fontaine in a tale well calculated to keep you in, SUSPEN! You know, Sam, I used to laugh just as everyone else does when I heard someone say, I've given you the best years of my life!

But it's not funny to me anymore. No, because that's what I've done, Sam. I've given you the best years of my life, waiting for you to die. But you wouldn't die. For seven years you've been hanging on and I've been playing a part.

Playing it so well that people call us the lovebirds. Hm, lovebirds. Ah, now here it is, our seventh anniversary. You wanted to show off that portrait. You had painted of me to Dagen, Betty Wilson, and Doc Roberts, and the others.

You were proud. They were envious. I was sick. Yeah, that's my thought, right, right, down to the last eyelash. Like a duck, perfect Sam, just perfect. The perfect portrait of the perfect girl. Oh well, it's after midnight and I'm a nine o'clock guy.
