The Case of the Burning Bridges

Hello? Yes, this is the Falcon speaking. Oh, Paula! Now you'll have to cancel me out tonight. I've got to do some antique collecting. Well, I don't like it either, but I have to go through it if it kills me.

Oh, don't give up hope, Angel. It may at that. Once again, the National Broadcasting Company brings you the transcribed adventures of the Falcon, Starring Les Daemon, 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 burning bridges. It's early afternoon in Manhattan, and in New York's Chinatown, a rugged-looking gent named George Bridges pushes his way through a mob of Chinese and heads for a small shop.

The legend Kessler's imports is on the store window. Yes, sir. Can I help you? I don't think so. I'd like to see Mr. Kessler. Well, Mr. Kessler doesn't like to be disturbed unless it's very important.

Well, if it isn't, I've traveled 3,000 miles for nothing. My name is George Bridges. Well, just a second. Yeah, what is it, John? I'm sorry to bother you, Julian, but there's a gentleman out here to see Mr. Kessler. His name is George Bridges.

Never heard of it. Oh, tell him I'm a friend of Oppenheimer in San Francisco. Yes, I heard of Julian. All right, John, show the gentleman in. If you will just follow me, please. I'd love to.

Do come in, Mr. Bridges. Thanks. That will be all, John. Yes, sir. Oh, this is a great pleasure. Well, this is my associate Robert Julian, glad to know you. Likewise. Do sit down, thanks. Now, what can I do for you?
