Fatal Error

And now stay tuned for the program that has rated tops in popularity for a longer period of time than any other West Coast program in radio history. The Signal Oil Program, the Whistler. Signal the famous Go-Father Gasoline invites you to sit back and enjoy another strange story by the Whistler.

I am the Whistler, and I know many things before I walk by night. I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadow. Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak.

And now for the signal oil company, the Whistler's strange story. Fatal error. It was a unique arrangement between Lloyd McCray and his partner, Mass Ben. On the surface, they appear to be realizing only a modest average income, quite in keeping with their operations of a few air cargo planes.

But beneath the surface, that was something else again. Just as certain secret side trips across the border and the Mexico produce something else again in the way of big profits from a gray and bangin'.

Here, these were the deals the partners never discussed with anyone other than themselves. Not even Fran Engel, Matt's girlfriend, was told about the highly profitable sideline. Of course, there was always the danger of being exposed, and the partners were gradually reaching the danger point.

Both were well aware of this as they discussed it one afternoon in their airport office. Well, that's how I see it, Matt. We put 25 grand away in six months. I say it's time to lay off for a while.

Anybody been snooping around? No. No. Maybe I'm just jumpy at some. Maybe. I see your point. So what's her next move? Nothing special. Just start giving a little more attention to customers who want to do legitimate business and so on.
