Transcript

Auto-light and its 98,000 dealers bring you Mr. Decanes in tonight's presentation of... SUSPENSE! Tonight, Auto-light presents the story of a man who watched a murder committed and couldn't get away to tell about it. It's called Pigeon in the Cage, our star Mr. Decanes.

This is Harlow Wilcox, an hour-light... Hey, half! Stop warning him! But Harlow, that horn is part of my car's electrical system. And half that electrical system goes to work. The instant you press the starter button and continues every second, your engine runs.

In addition, whether your engine is running or not, it works every time you blow your horn, turn on your lights, radio, heater, or electric windshield wiper. Must be right at all times, eh Harlow? It sure must have.

So friends, that's why it's so important to treat the electrical system of your car to a periodic checkup. Regardless of the make of car you own, make it a point to see your authorized auto light service station or your car dealer regularly.

You can quickly locate your nearest authorized auto light service station in the classified section of the phone book under automobile electrical service, or call Western Union by number and ask for operator 25. And remember, from bumper to tail light, you're always right with auto light.

And now, auto-light presents transcribed Pigeon in the cage, starring Mr. Dick Hames, hoping once again to keep you in suspense. I'm Gerald Brewer and I'm 31 years old. I'm a paper hanger and I've got a wife.

I got a kid on the way and I'd like to be home now. I wish I were out of here. Right under the button here it says for emergency ring, so nothing happens. I've been ringing this bell for the last hour and nothing happens.
