Transcript

And now, a tale well calculated to keep you in... ...sauce pens. The estate was remote and lonely. The fortune was theirs for the taking. The setup was perfect. The setup for murder. Listen now to the impostors, starring Reynolds Osburn and Theresa Bauer, and written especially for suspense by Peter Fernandez.

Where can I take you? Thank you. To the Cromwell place, please. Cromwell estate. You got that right, Mrs.? Well, I received this letter of instructions from the butler, Mr. Victor Hammersmith. I've accepted a job as Mr. and Mrs. Cromwell's housekeeper.

Well, I guess it'll be okay then, but let me warn you that Mr. and Mrs. Cromwell are a couple of spooks. What do you mean? If they want anything they telephone, that gets delivered. But only to the gate, no further.

No one's allowed in and no one ever comes out. Well, how about the butler on his day off? Doesn't he come to town? They don't keep a car and it's a long walk to town, so I never see it.

Say, I thought it was clearing from the direction of that lightning. It looks like we're in for more of the same. Well, maybe we can get there before it breaks. A sattra bag down there. That's it. Now, turn around.

Are you, Mr. Hammersnay? Yes, turn around, I said. You mean like this? The agency said you were five feet forward, exactly. I am. I'll turn around again. Face me. Face me, I said. Ah, yes, yes, yes.

Listen, it was five hours on that train, I'm tired. Would you mind telling me where my quarters are? Oh, forgive me, Angela. I've been so anxious to see you. To find out if you measured up to what they led me to expect.
