Your twice as sure with two great names. Frigidair and General Motors. Frigidair presents Herbert Marshall as the man called X. Wherever there is mystery, intrigue, romance, with all the strange and dangerous places of the world, there you will find the man called X.
Or Frigidair's servant more American homes than any other refrigerator. And all Frigidair presents Herbert Marshall as Ken Thurston, A man called Ex. Last night a man died in his room in a small hotel in Lower Manhattan.
Ordinarily the bureau wouldn't have been concerned nor the police in fact. Since the cause of his death was heart failure. But as they stand talking in the small bare room, Ken and the Chief realize the police were right in notifying them.
At this case does concern the bureau and maybe the world. Alright we've ran back this room from one end of the other Ken. Looks like that's all we're gonna find. Well that's not to start on Chief.
The biggest break in the whole mess of the list, the police found here. 757 machine guns, Model R14, 1000 automatic rifles, 5000 grenades. The tellers exactly, but the list of stuff that disappeared from that army warehouse in the car over two years ago.
But we still haven't found anything to show where this dead man fits in. Yep. Checked in here three days ago, and it would turn ticket by airline to Acasa, Nigeria. Sure, sure. And a cancelled passage on some African riverboat called the Niger Queen.
That's all. So where do we go from here? I don't know yet. The one thing's certain if this, what's his name? Jules von Elst, and been knocked off by a bum-hot, we'd still be in the dark about that two million dollars of a stuffed swipe from the car.
