Have you heard the strange tales of the Whistler? The Whistler no it wasn't a dream it was too real. This is what I've been afraid of I know you don't believe you you think I'm insane both of you Friday night and CBS presents the Whistler no many things for I walk by night
I know many strange tales, many secrets hidden in the hearts of men and women who stepped into the shadows. And so I tell you tonight the weird story of the Avengers. In the great southwest, a range of high mountains extends as far as the eye can see.
This is mining country, silver and gold. Halfway down the mountain is a tiny village, the mining town of Rainbow, a rocker sort of place composed of a number of stores, many saloons in the federal land office where the fortune hunters file their claims. Fifteen years ago Rainbow was a rip roaring village and in a back room
of the Crystal Palace bar a young man and a young woman hold an earnest conversation. Tell me this modern how long have you been in this town? Oh about two years came here from Kansas City. And you know my brother John Maddox? I certainly do. How well do you know? Well enough. He came out here a year ago and he's been
hiding out up on the mountainside ever since. Got a cabin up there. Prospecting of course. Who isn't? How well do you know him? Oh, he used to come into town quite often. I got acquainted with him in here. First I fell for him in a big way. He seemed to resent it.
