Wait a minute. Have you heard the weird tales of the Whistler? The Whistler. Sunday night and again CBS presents the Whistler. I, the Whistler, know many things.

For I walk by night. I know many strange tales, many secrets hidden in the hearts of men and women who are stepped into the shadows. I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak.
