Now, Kidd is London, which is the capital of England. He's noted for a number of curious historical events. King Charles was beheaded in London. They had a fire there and a plague. And it is also the place where Harry Lyne broke three music boxes and founded an orphan asylum.
Please don't ever say I'm not a music lover and a philanthropist, because I'm not. As Harry Lime, the third man in today's story, Operation Music Box. Good afternoon, Mr. Dolly.
