End of the String

And now, tonight's presentation of Radio's Outstanding Theater of Prills, Sus Fence. Tonight, we bring you the story of a fantastic theft of a million-dollar pearl necklace. We call it the End of the String. So now, starring Stacey Harris, here is tonight's suspense play, The End of the String The necklace consisted of sixty-one perfectly matched pearls.

It was insured for six hundred and fifty thousand dollars and was probably worth about a million. I got to know about the deal because Sam liked me I guess because in Boston I wasn't competition.

Just a nice young fellow who was trying to get ahead in costume jewelry. That's why I happened to be in his private office when the parcel containing the pearls arrived. I told you young fella, you were going to see something this morning.

That's what you said, Sam. Yeah, I like you. You call me Sam. Since I've been a big high finance, you know, I got to be Mr. Hyla. You're not impressed. I like that. Eh, I should have had a son like you to pass the business.

Go ahead. Pass it anyway. I'm up for adoption. Hey, smart. Come over here to the window. You ever see a million dollars? Like in the necklace you told me about? With it in the package?

Yeah, the same. How come you haven't delivered by mail Sam? Isn't that risky? Mm-hmm. Sam Hilah's no dope. You get a messenger to carry it from Detroit to Boston. What happens? Somebody gives them a crack in the head.

Registered mail this day don't touch. I'm glad to know about that. I'm just liable to send myself a million bucks. Don't worry, someday maybe you will. Hand me the scissors that will do on the desk.
