Transcript

The National Broadcasting Company presents the adventures of Sam Spade Detective. Me, sweetheart. How was your vacation, Sam? Who said it was a vacation? Well, I thought you said you were going skiing for a weekend.

With me, if it's always work. Do you know you can get killed on skis? If you say so, Sam. Yes. Most people just break their legs. Most people pick some easy little slope, the cowards.

But I know a ski run up near a town called Lu Sern, that sudden death. I know a ski run called the Backbreaker. Really, how dope? And when they named Suicide Drop. Effie, stop trying to top me. You just can't.

This was the deadliest ski country ever seen. You just sit there while I do a Christianity swingdown market street, a galender sprung up the stairs, and a tell mark right through the door with a tail I took out of the deep freeze only last night.

The Chateau McCloud caper. For NBC, Williams Beer, Radio's outstanding producer, director of Mystery and Crime Drama brings you the greatest private detective of them all, in the adventures of Sam Spade. Hey, coffee, those peeps!

I just wanted to prove I could do it. I did a herringbone up the stairs. And those clothes! I'll just bet you've rented all those things, Sam. You were never in the snow country at all.

So, you don't believe me, huh? Well, here, doubting, iffy, I brought you proof. And don't tell me I rented this. Snowball! Yes. Oh. Yes, I brought back two of them in a thermos box. Pretty other one.

I threw it at a policeman. It was a freezy. Soaked with water and ice. Oh, San, you're wonderful. I can't believe that you had trouble this weekend. Oh, no. You cut that snowball open and you'll find a blood-stained bullet inside of it.
