The Case of the Silent Butler

Hello? Yes, this is the Falcon speaking. Oh, Margot. Now, you'll have to cancel me out tonight, Angel. Army intelligence is firing me to Lisbon, Portugal. Yeah. Seems some little girl there is playing fast and loose with Uncle Sammy's secrets, and I gotta run it down if it kills me.

MUSIC Once again, the National Broadcasting Company brings you the transcribed adventures of the Falcon, starring Les Damon. The adventures of the Falcon, dedicated to private investigators everywhere, those hard-hitting detectives who, like Mike Waring, risked their lives to aid law enforcement agencies. So join him now when the Falcon solves the case of the silent butler.

Before you first gave out with good things coming small packages, must have had Maria Costa in mind. Maria is the luscious looking brunette walking down one of the steep-winding alleys and alfana. The old section of Lisbon.

She's so pretty, even the beggars stop their panhandling to watch her go by. And 15 feet behind her is a man in a white suit, in a white Panama hat, who obviously feels she's worth more than a second glance.

He must. He's been following you for days. All right, Tignor. What is the meaning of this? You talking to me, lady? Yes. What can I do for you? You can stop following me. Following you?

I saw you at the Castello de San Giorgio. You mean that Moorish fortress up on the hill? Yes. Oh, not me, sugar. Why wouldn't make that climb fancy thing? I know it was you. And yesterday you won the row out, yeah?

But that's the section where the goldsmiths have their shops, you'll mistake. I aim to cover that tomorrow. You are lying. Not me, no man. You ask anybody. They'll tell you Dix the Harris ain't told to lie since he was knee high to a brasshopper.
