oh what was that oh just an old shin of mine hey i hear somebody coming up the stairs okay kids we can beat it now everything's under control i've got the lost corpse is it a good story mr valentine aren't you gonna let us read it mrs windows wouldn't approve oh what's she like she attractive never mind mrs windows what about the lost corpse well it's uh it's a very unusual story about a man and his wife how original yeah the wife would like to give him the gate but she hasn't any money of her own however she stands to collect a lot of her husband ever kicks the bucket is there a murder of course the husband is shot but he manages to make his way to a private investigator's office is that in the story sure yeah but that's what mr winters did the husband tells the investigator he's about to be murdered hey that's what he told you then he collapses when the investigator steps out of his office the wounded man disappears just like mr winters did that's what actually happened it is oh what do you know about that oh go on mr valentine then what well later the guy returns to his wife and he says you thought you killed me but i'm not dead yet you you yes go on well that's all that's as far as mr windows got with his story no wonder mrs windows didn't want you to read it it's the story of their life it shows she's guilty she killed her husband georgie oh hey georgie yeah kaleb what do you want where's mrs windows she's all right now mrs windows what are you talking about i left in your waiting room she comes to see you when was this a few minutes ago she acts kind of funny like maybe she's sick or something come on not a sign of her kaleb are you sure you left mrs windows here in my waiting room well valentine look on the table a woman's purse with initials on it mw mw marcia winters do you think the same thing happened to her mr valentine someone followed her here and hid out on the fire escape no no i don't think so she heard us talking she knew we thought she was guilty oh of course yeah all right kaleb thanks a lot well it's all right georgie call me if you're needing to help yeah yeah sure kaleb say how are you two are playing games games at a time like this uh sunny you be sunny i'll be george valentine and claire you'll be mr winters what now claire step outside the office uh give us a few minutes then come in and say you expect to be murdered oh i get

haven't got time now you can quit tomorrow oh all right but you can think of this silly now what do we do mr valentine just exactly what we did when mr winters first stepped into this office okay claire come on in i don't think she heard you all right claire we're ready what's the matter with her i'll get her claire you can come in now where what where is she suffer and cats what a mess now my sister's disappeared it's only natural i guess for the carpenter to build his own house a little stronger for the cobbler to cut his own shoes a little more generously for the farmer to select the juiciest apples for his own barrel frankly that's one reason why you can count on a little something extra in the way of service when you stop at a home-owned chevron gas station you see the chevron dealer is building his own business he's got a big stake in making you want to trade with him that's why his smile is a little friendlier and his service a little more thorough and of course he's offering your car the best climate tailored chevron supreme gasoline and rpm compounded motor oil it's only natural too for you to like doing business with a neighborly conscientious kind of a fellow so look up the chevron dealer in your neighborhood remember his chevron gas station is home owned well george doesn't seem to have gotten very far in his solution of this case first a murdered man disappeared from right under his nose then the murdered man's wife mysteriously departed and now his secretary is vanished into thin air are you just going to sit here in your office mr valentine aren't you going to do anything she's my sister she's the only sister of god no no take it easy sonny if i thought anything had happened to claire i'd be out searching every house in this town well then where is she well she couldn't take it that's also she quit walked out on us i can't say i blame her that doesn't sound like claire well george yeah kaleb well you have not your dinner yet don't you think you better go out and get yourself something oh not now kaleb well you could leave by the fire escape the fire escape uh please card you stop in front oh suffer and catch the police get yourself a nice state yeah that's just what i'll do come on sonny i'll get down there install them kaleb oh i intend to now you take your time and digest your dinner good you hear man oh sure sure let's go sonny the fire escape oh and sonny yeah mr valentine better bring mrs winter's purse along with you excuse me mr valentine but aren't you gonna stop and get something to eat that's the

she is sir much prettier than you mr valentine if we're not gonna eat we can't just drive around all night we've got to find out who murdered mr winter's and what they did with his body and where mrs winter's disappeared to and what happened to claire isn't that right sir and she's very intelligent that is for a woman mr valentine oh okay sonny look at the address on that letter what letter sir
