That was six months ago Yes, this is where it was on the dock by the bay outside the Skyland Club Jim Mars Skyland Club Here comes Jim Mars he owns the Skyland Club He likes to see a crowd in the club, but he doesn't see one now and he scowls He walks around the tables and up the stairs to the door that says manager on it.

What chances everything all right sure But who knows somebody's always beefing they're bound to when you're running a clip joint I thought you know what to do when anyone beefed You've got to be tough.

I tried to do for her. I Wouldn't have cared if it been one of the others, but it has to be her that gets washed up out of the harbor and for that show Listen, I've heard a guy's losing their head for a gal, but never enough And a dead team at that Monica Lee wasn't a dame. She was a nice clean kid She didn't know from nothing mean and what mean and she wasn't brought up to understand She couldn't say no to a guy like you Some people learn hard You think you taught her anything listen things are either right or they're not right see I got no time for teaching Well, we're talking about things that ain't right What about this club sure Jim?

He knew she wasn't monica He guessed exactly right that she was monica's sister Who looked enough like her to be a twin Right away. He figured tony was in on some kind of frame-up deal and so he shot him Later, perhaps he would have attended to maria too But tony shot him at the same instant his gun went off Why well tony's plan was very neat He figured jim would shoot maria or monica's ghost and he'd shoot jim He'd be out of any wrap on the plea that he had had to try to stop jim shooting of maria And he'd be rid of both of his troublesome friends Yes, you see tony knew maria wasn't monica too He knew from the start better than anybody Because it was tony jealous tony who had found monica wounded by jim's bullet And to get even with them both had finished the job And dumped her body into the bay Next monday at nine o'clock the signal oil program will bring you another strange tale by the whistler The signal oil program is broadcast for your entertainment by the signal oil company Marketers of signals famous go farther gasoline and motor oil And by your neighborhood signal oil dealer who is at your service daily to keep your car running for the duration The signal oil program produced by george w ellen with story by hugh keegan music by wilbur hatch Is transmitted to our troops overseas by the armed forces radio service bob anderson speaking for your friend the signal oil company And suggesting once again that you let every go signal remind you That you do go clean This is cbs the columbia broadcasting system
