Mutual presents under arrest Criminals behind bars under arrest the story of police captain Jim Scott's fight against crime Miss Webb, this is Janice Sherwood. Oh, oh, yes, miss Sherwood. I feel a little foolish, but I'd like to ask you a favor
Do what I can get something. I don't want to talk to the police about They've been so kind and they're really done everything. Has something new happened? I mean, has there been another ghost? It's the same one, I think.
I'm imagining, if you saw the same things I see, should you spend the night at my house tonight, Miss Webb? I think you've got a very good idea there. In fact, I'd love to. Busy Captain Scott?
Just a little, but come on in. How are you and the Times Herald coming with your haunted house? So far, I've been able to build it into one of those three-day wonders. Is that bad?
I wish you luck, but I think the only thing that's haunted is your girlfriend's skull. I don't blame you. Makes a good story. Maybe you can sell it to the movies. What are you featuring on your typewriter today?
Nothing except the ghost walked again last night. Shall I read it to you? Sure. Shoot. How do you like my headline? Spoke of Sherwood, mind-shin defies housing shortage. Nice twist. Thanks. Invisible intruder beats rent gouges again.
