Hyacinth Patrol

Presenting Orson Well as the Third Man, the lives of Harry Limes, the fabulous stories of the immortal character originally created in the motion picture, The Third Man, with the Zither music by Anton Cara. The swizzle is a drink.

And the Panama Canal, let's face it, is a ditch. This story begins with a drink and ends with a flower. Also a couple of very cute babes involved in the proceedings. They are mainly for decoration.

However, basically, this is a tale about what almost happened to the ditch. So hold on tight, my children. Your uncle Harry is taking you for a nice ride on his magic carpet. And off to the canal, though.

Notice, please, that despite wartime improvements and sanitation, an air of fatty decay hangs heavy over this whole area. On this particular trip, the air is even more than normally loaded with danger and tension for Stavar.

Finally, an air-cooled hotel. I take me a shower and then off to a bar for all those rum swizzles. Let's pick the most popular of all the hot spots in town while I'm about it.

A bistro with a charming name of Tomain Joes. Okay, we're in Tomain Joes now. They are as hot, sticky, and pulsing with a majority of the base of the human emotion. But since I need something tall, cool, with an emphatic flavor of rub, I take my life in my hands and push my way up to the bar.

Well, wow, how's the little flower to know? May I get through, please? Little flower, is it? Let's see how you like a flower to when you arrive for it. You may have a. Oh, oh, Jim, is there anything but this like that?
