Transcript
You're twice as sure with two great names. Frigidaire and General Motors. Frigidaire presents Herbert Marshall as the man called X. Wherever there is mystery, intrigue, romance, in all the strange and dangerous places of the world, there you will find a man called X.
More Frigidaire, serve in more American homes than any other refrigerator. And our Frigidaire presents Herbert Marshall as Ken Thurston, The men called X. The other tenants in the same building, of course, know very little about Ken.
That's the way it is in a New York apartment house. But there are other people who do know, and some of them have rung the door buzzer and invented do Ken's lodgings. Sometimes the caller has been an old friend.
And other times it's been... ...Pagan Zelschmitt. But you don't understand, Mr. Thurston. Why should I come here at one o'clock in the morning if I didn't have a good reason? I don't know, Pagan. I'll announce to you one of the Bo Ten Bucks.
10 bucks. But this is serious. By morning I may be a dead man. Maybe soon if I'll get out of here. Let me get back to bed. Yeah. I bet you wouldn't talk like this if you would seem to ghost of your old dear friend Jose Martinez.
I haven't gotten the old dear friend Jose Martinez. Neither have I anymore. He got drowned on the ship with Papago. They wanted to hit a mine and blow it up. Papago? About six months ago.
Yeah. I want him not to go around making like I say. Wait. You saw this man tonight alive? Well, not alive exactly. He's a ghost. And when I came to, somebody was throwing cold water over me.
