Transcript

And now, a tale well calculated to keep you in... Spence. In a moment, act one of the next murder, starring Joseph Julian and Lawson Zerbe, and written especially for suspense by Joseph Cochran. This first portion of suspense is brought to you by the makers of Alpine, Cigarette.

Coconut cream, okay? Yeah, that's fine. Look, I wasn't trying to be precious now when I called you beautiful. I don't know your name, so I just called you beautiful. That's all right. It's a lot better, and hey, you.
