Wait a minute. Have you heard the strange tales of the Whistler? The Whistler. I didn't steal the money. I just wanted to use it for a few days. I was gonna put it back Things went wrong. That was gonna be a change of ownership. That means an early audit Sunday night and again CBS presents the Whistler. Hey the Whistler know many things for I walked 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 tale of the accounting. Tom Bradford is a middle-aged rancher living a few miles out of town.
Tom is married a widow with a grown son named Ralph, who was inclined to be shiftless and lazy. Tom resents this because times are difficult and he's sort of helped He further resents the fact that the boy has married a girl from the town and brought her to live with them They've been here for two months now and Tom has grown crabby and unpleasant
You know the way conditions are Mary just can't get any help in this ranch is too much for me to handle alone I know Tom, but Ralph doesn't know anything about a ranch Ralph was raised in the city He can learn but he's too lazy only does a sit around read magazines But he said delicate sort of boy, he always has.
Well, let him go out and do a little work, and he won't be so delicate. You've made a baby out of him. I've done no such thing. If Ralph were able to help you, I'd be the first one to ask him to do it.
