The Damon Runyon Theatre. Once again, the Damon Runyon Theatre brings you another story by the master storyteller, Damon Runyon, and this one, the hottest guy in the world. And to tell it to you, here is Broadway. Thanks. The chances are you never hear of a citizen who is called Big Jules, but the police of 48 states and outlying territories are more than somewhat

familiar with him. Now, this is a story about him, a gen-dom named Johnny Brannigan, and a down named Kitty Clancy. Also, there is a genuine gorilla named Bongo mixed up in the story, which may seem more than a little unusual. And it is. And I will tell you this story in a minute.

Well, back to the Damon Runyon Theatre and the famous story, The Hotest Guy in the World. Well, as they say in books to set the scene for this story, I have got to go back maybe two or three years ago. It seems that Big Jules does something at which the State of New York

is very mad. In fact, the state sees fit to present big jewels with a five-year layoff at the citizens expense. Well, he serves the time and the date comes when he sees the bars posed behind him instead of in front of him. But there is somebody waiting for him.

Hello, jewels. Well, well, well. If it ain't Johnny Brannigan, that's right. Copper. Uh-huh. Copper. You think I know you ought to be a general, Brannigan? I'll take my time You like it in there fine Just fine Smells different out here. Uh-huh It's on your mind, Brannigan. You get it off. What are you gonna do when now?
