Transcript

Listen at the close of this program for an important announcement regarding a time change. Have you heard the strange tales of the Whistler? The Whistler. I didn't see the man I swear I didn't.

He just appeared out of nowhere. I didn't see a thing. I only heard that awful bump when the car hit it. It was an accident I tell you. Friday night and again CBS presents the Whistler.

As a Whistler, no many things before I walk by night. I know many strange tales, many secrets hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. And so I tell you tonight the odd story of blind Allie.

Young Henry Carter of the Third and his widowed mother live with Henry's paternal grandfather. Grandfather Carter, at his immensely wealthy, and lives on a vast estate in the suburbs. Young Henry after graduation seemed to follow in the footsteps of his late father.

He's a weak thought and quite the playboy of the city, gambling and drinking. So grandfather, though inclined to be generous, finds it necessary to cut down on Henry to Lowen. But Grandfather, I can't get along now. I can hardly make ends meet. But it's embarrassing.

Embarrassing. Oh, here, now all you've done is cared about all night and drinking gamble. Well, I've paid all the debt I'm going to. Well, what can I do $100? When I was your age, I got along on $10.

The times have changed since you were a boy. You know, just like your father. Physical reckon in his grave before he was 35. Oh, well, he did everything to accept. He was my son. I know what he did.
