Transcript

In just a moment, AutoLite presents Suspense with Jimmy Kagnay. Hello, tonight I understand we have an AutoLite Suspense special. Every bit as special as your star performance as the AutoLite Resistance Park plug my show.

Is that a plug for me or for my favorite AutoLite Resistance Park plugs happen? Here with no offense to either, Arnold, it's neither. Tonight Jimmy Kagnay and AutoLite and Suspense are dramatizing one of our great American tragedies.

It's so tremendous a problem it warrants our entire nation warring against its grimness and the grim reaper who is its symbol. Tonight's suspense story will remind you to drive carefully behind auto-light resistous spark plugs or any other arrow.

Then let's join the auto-light audience and listen. So spends auto-light and its 60,000 dealers and service stations bring you radios outstanding theater of thrills. Starting tonight, Mr. James Kagnie, in Anton Leader's production of No Escape, a tale well-calculated to keep you in, saucepanes.

The only thing I can do now is tell you how it happened. Without any bunk. I don't care what you've heard or read about me. I'm not a devil or a mad dog. I don't know what people think happens to a fella.

Do they think all of a sudden I turn into stone? I'm no different than anybody else. If I don't eat, I get hungry. If I cut myself shaving, I bleed. I'm just like the next guy, and that's the whole idea.

This...this...it happened to me sure, but it would have happened to anybody. It could have happened to you. It was supposed to have been one of them days, your circle on the calendar with a red pencil.
