 That's the theme from the Sears Radio Theatre. Tonight's story is a comedy with Andy Griffith as your host. Here's a preview. Now I came in to withdraw a lousy 25 bucks, and your computer says I don't have an account here anymore. It also says I'm dead. Well, Mr. Glitch, you seem to have a little problem. I have a big problem. Please sit down and wait your turn. The Sears Radio Theatre will begin after this message from your local station.

The afternoon traffic is backed up for miles along Lissau Street in windy Chicago, Illinois. Here we find one Arnold Glitch. A man in his late 40s, who makes his average but comfortable living through the sale of exotic birds. He sits at the wheel of his patient, but sickly imported car, raging in impotent fury at the stupidity of the other drivers on the road. For Mr. Glitch is about to perform the time-honored American ritual, going to the bank. I think it's going to close at three. Maybe I could just park the car and walk. Mr. Glitch is a good businessman. He always keeps a little bit salted away for a rainy day. Today, he's planning to withdraw a small sum of cash for spending money over the weekend. But the bank has a surprise in store for him. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Sir, we at Big Big Bank cannot help you if you continue to shout. And you call yourselves the person's bank? All I want to do is withdraw $25. I'm sorry, Mr. Glitch. All I can do is punch your account number into the computer. Are you telling me that last week I had $5,000 in my account and now I have nothing? No, Mr. Glitch, I'm not. I'm trying to tell you that according to the computer, you have never had an account with us. I'd like to speak to someone in authority. Well, you could talk to the bank manager, but he won't be able to help you either. Why not? I hate to tell you this. What? What? According to our computer, you've been dead for six and a half months. And that's just the beginning of our story. A new adventure in radio listening. Five nights of exceptional entertainment every week.

Exactly what Arnold Glitch is going to do. He's going to talk to the bank manager. In this case, Mr. Smiley by name. Now, Mr. and Mrs. Suture surely you must realize that I personally did not take your car away. But who? Mr. Smiley. Yeah? My name is Arnold Glitch and I've had an account of this bank since Eisenhower. Now I came in to withdraw a lousy 25 bucks and your computer says I don't have an account here anymore. It also says I'm dead. Well, Mr. Glitch, you seem to have a little problem. I have a big problem. Please sit down and wait your turn. These people are ahead of you. Now then, Mr. and Mrs. Sutures. This chair right here? Yes, that chair will do very nicely. As I was saying, there has obviously been a small error somewhere down the line. They just came and took the car away and I've made every payment right on time. Quiet here, but I'll handle this. Mr. Smiley understands that this small error will be corrected or his bank will hear about it. And I mean in every newspaper and on every radio and TV station that will listen. And they just love to get the big guys and the big computers who step on little guys like me. Herbert, I said I'll handle this. Yes, love bunch. Mr. Smiley, will your computer get me to the grocery store or pick up the kids from school or get Herbert to a psychiatrist's appointment on time? I had to take the bus this morning. Herbert, if you insist upon interrupting me, so help me. Perhaps if I check with our master computer, we can straighten this whole thing out. I certainly hope so. Carla, would you connect me with the master computer terminal? Yes, sir. Could I have a minute? Oh, of course, Mr. Sutures. Herbert, you'll spoil your dinner. You're connected, sir. Master computer? This is an auto loan cross check. The name is Suture Herbert. His social security number is 469-62-4582. No, no, that's 4582. 45... Would I please... No, can't you see I'm talking to the master computer? But I only... It tells me I don't exist. Right before the number four. Hey, he glitched. How are you going to spare a dime if you ain't got an account number? No account. That's okay. It's on the house. Tastes funny. It feels like I'm falling. Possible numerals, I have to run into the treacherous three. Hey, glitch, keep up the baby. You take me to your leader? Yeah, sure, certainly. It looks like... Yes. I'm inside of a computer. What a smart one, aren't you? I can't see you anywhere. Where are you from? I am everywhere, Mr. Litch. Look around you and I am all that you see. I am the master computer. You may call me Carl. Well, listen, Carl, I want to know what happened to my bank account. I am not programmed for petty cash. I am a super computer capable of giving orders to lesser computers and performing intricate calculations of the highest order. I'm sorry. Good. Then you won't mind spending two hundred and fifty bucks? Two hundred and fifty dollars. What for? I'm glad you asked. You got it, and I got it. Carl, I don't know how to put this. I had five thousand dollars in a bank account and one of your friends messed it up. What bank? Big Wig Bank. Oh, yes, the person's bank. Just a moment, please. Carla, get me Computer Terminal 32 at Big Wig Bank. Terminal 32, on line seven. Hi, Uncle Carl. Oh, the terminal at Big Wig Bank. That's right, Uncle Carl. Have a Mr. Glitch here. He claims that you messed up his bank account. All units search, name, glitch, crabby customer file, account closed, account closed. Now listen, Freddie, you two-timing ex-vacuum cleaner. You stole my money and I want it back. And I don't mean maybe. Uncle Carl, he's yelling at me. Make him stop. You made my nephew cry. I hope you're real proud of yourself. All I want is my money back. Uncle Carl, it wasn't my fault. You transferred all the Big Wig Bank funds to Computers International Bank and all the National Bank funds and all the First Bank money. Yeah, that's enough, Freddie. Okay, Carl, I get the picture. You're just eliminating people's bank accounts and salting the money away in some Swiss bank. Oh, Glitch, you obviously have no understanding of high finance. I'm getting a pretty good idea. If I let you on the ride for free, will you be quiet? Sure. What do I do? Take a seat in the shuttlecraft, Glitch. Program computer armor, memory output interface. What's going on here? It's a ride, Glitch. Just sit back and relax. Prepare to experience computer armor. See the miracles of today and the stark realities of the future since before your very eyes. Please make sure that your seat belt is fast and securely and remember to keep your hands inside the shuttlecraft at all.

Robux, the men's jeans that won the Golden West at most larger Sears retail stores. Just look, Arnold Glitch is having a nightmare. Imagine. And now, Computerama proudly presents the Computer Story. Since the dawn of history, man has had a need to count. Early man used rocks. Hey, yo, buddy. Hey, Ugg, what can I do you for? The wife says she needs a dozen rocks. Ah, terrific. Hey, how many in a dozen? I don't know. What's the many? Yes, Skippet. Hey, Ugg, can I interest you in a wheel? Oh, no thanks. I got two in a garage. The Arabs revolutionized counting by inventing numbers. Abdul, come here quickly. Yes, master. Have you found my brain yet? No, Abdul. I have discovered numbers. Look through this microscope. Ah, yes, yes, master. I see two, four, six, thirty-seven. No, Skippet. Abdul, could I interest you in a wheel? And in time, man learned how to count and add and subtract and multiply and divide. And soon he began to discover bigger numbers, more numbers than he had fingers and toes. More numbers, in fact, than he had fingers and toes in his whole family, even counting his crazy Aunt Louise. So, as man often does, he invented a machine to help him. And it came to pass that in 1944 in the shadows of World War II, the first modern computer was born. Man had entered the computer age. Now wait just one sweet minute here. Carl? Yes? Look, Carl, I've been on better rides at the State Fair. Believe me, Glitch. This is no State Fair. Now that we have entered the computer age, what miracles await us? Today, in 1950, the world of the 1980s seems a long ways away, but it's just around the corner. We're going to take you on a visit to Megalopolis, Nebraska, a typical city of the 80s. Carl, what the heck is this? Megalopolis is a modern city run completely by computers. With in these vast gleaming towers of steel and chrome, 25 million happy people live and work and play in complete computerized comfort. The average megalopalite works only two hours a week. His children, thanks to quick-scan computer schooling, have no homework to do. His wife runs her household with the aid of robot maid, freeing her from the hum-drum drudgery of housework. Thanks to computers, these people have time for the good things in life. Computerized television, computerized recreation, and computerized fun. Yes, it's a wonderful time, this age of computers. And it's only just beginning. Carl, are you there? Like the man said, Litch, your ride is only just beginning. A following message is brought to you by Computerama. You know, we seem to have trouble adjusting to the so-called computer age. Has this ever happened to you? I'm going, sir, Mr. Johnson. I wouldn't prove your luck. Put the free calendar back. Why was that banker laughing? Because he got a look at poor Mr. Johnson's computerized credit file. Right now, hundreds of computers may have stored information about you in their memory banks. Now you can change all that with the amazing data smasher. That's right, the data smasher actually alters computer files. The data smasher makes the bad look good and the good look... Instantly, you can go from poor risk to preferred customer. Mr. Johnson, and we shall process that loan immediately. The data smasher. Because at Computerama, we care. I sure would like to get one of those data smasher things. Welcome back, Mr. Litch. I mean, that's it. The end of the ride? What a chip. Relax, Litch. Hey, Carl, I'm going too fast. It's from your local station. All right, big savings on all the cars I sell. And I have a big... You see, you grow to be the biggest by starting small. When you come in for service, we make sure that your car is serviced quickly and correctly. So when you buy a village home of Alpha Muddy Ford and Alpha Muddy Dutson Dodge on North Avenue, one mile east of Manheim Road. You have nine items. Right, that's right. This is the supermarket express lane. Eight items or less. All I bought was Bay's English muffin. Yes, sir, nine packages. You see, they're so versatile, I just grab the whole stack, they go with anything. But not out the eight items or less express lane, they don't. Look, I eat them with lunch, brunch, dinner, parties and snacks, all I need plenty. You have nine items, sir. They're delicious with jam, sausage, bacon and even cheese. I like Bay's English muffins with hamburgers myself. You do? Well, then you can understand. However, I would never abuse the privilege that the eight items are less express lanes. You see, whenever I think of the many delicious ways to serve, I just kind of lose my head, I guess. Sorry. Gee, I feel so guilty. Bay's English muffins keep in your freezer for up to six months. You want to stock up? Go to the regular lane. Okay, I'll take one package back to the dairy case. Wait a minute, I'll overlook it this time, but I really should have called my supervisor. Well, gee whiz, what's he like? He likes Bay's English muffin pieces. Next. I'd like to get one of those data smasher things. Welcome back, Mr. Glitz. I mean, that's it. The end of the ride? What a chip. Relax, Glitz. Hey, Carl, I'm going too fast. Stupid computer, slow this thing down. That's it, Carl. I've had it with this computer fun house. It's time for your ride to continue. Please sit down. You're going to kill me, you overgrown abacus. I am programmed to serve humankind and not to injure or terminate life, but Glitz, you are pressing your luck. Oh, all right, Carl. What's on your mind? For example, Glitz, memory bank, Herbert W. Sutcher, middle-aged, middle-class, middle-management, a man who is having a mild, nervous breakdown. Looks like he's in a doctor's office. Exactly. And you just wait to see what happens to him. But why is that man in a doctor's office? Weren't you listening? When? Before. I forgot. It seemed so long ago. Just watch. Doctor, I just don't think I can take it anymore. Herbert, you were telling me how they're out to get you. They're everywhere, Doc. Mr. Sutcher, who are they? Who is trying to get you? The computers. The computers? Sure, Doc. If you fill out an application for credit, they know about you. If you apply for a loan, or if you're in the army, they know even more about you. If you catch a check, they know it. If you take a trip, they know it. If you make a phone call, eat at a restaurant, or turn on your lava lamp, they know it. I'm telling you, Doc, they're watching us! Herbert, Herbert, you poor, misguided, miserable slob. You're not really afraid of computers. I'm not? Of course not. Computers are simply instruments to store and calculate information. That's right, isn't it, Doc? Computers can't really hurt me at all, can they? That's it, Herbert. Now, the people who own the computers, they can hurt you. They can? Oh, sure. They can buy you or sell you to whomever they want properly programmed. They could completely destroy your life. They wouldn't be that mean, would they, Doc? Herbert, they don't have to be. The secretary pushes the wrong button and blapo. Your life is ruined. Doc, I think I'm going to kill myself. Of course you won't. You and your wife should take a long, long vacation to get away from it all. Hey, you know, Gladys is always yelling at me to take her to Mexico City. I can almost feel myself on that jet now. Gladys, taking this vacation was a great idea. I haven't felt this relaxed in years. Herbert, darling, my little leapshin', you're such a little, little man. gentlemen, welcome to Great Silverbird Airlines Flight 707 to Mexico City. Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi. Gladys, did you hear that? Hear what? This plane, the pilot's a computer. There's nothing to worry about, Hubert. That's Herbert. Oh, of course you are, darling. Gladys, that man across... Don't, my name is Sharon. I'm a Scorpio and I'm your flight attendant. Please stop crying. Could I get you a drink or something? Can I work this? I headed her luggage en route to Constantinople. Oh, no. And we think we found your wife. She accidentally routed her flight to Tibet. Did you hear that, Gladys? A computer lost that man's wife. Herbert, stop twitching. Hello, Mr. Glitch. Carl, is that you? Carl is busy with his Swiss bank terminals. I am his assistant, Carla. Carla, huh? What's going to happen that poor slob on the airplane? You computer sure messed him up. That is his problem. But most computers are marvelous people, Mr. Glitch. A computer can be your ticket to adventure, romance, passion. This sounds like a sales pitch. Not at all, Mr. Glitch. Unless you'd be interested in a Mrs. Glitch. Computer dating? No, thanks. Think again, Mr. Glitch. We computers are able to tabulate information from all over the world. Humans need never have to go from city to city to country to find that special someone. We can tell you whom to choose without you having to do the legwork. I'm not interested. Mr. Glitch, won't you fill out the card for me, please? Oh, well... You're a sweetheart, Mr. Glitch. Now, just place the coded card in the input slot. Okay. There you go. Thank you, Mr. Glitch. When next we meet, I'll have the girl of your dreams. Wait! Don't go! Time for you to continue your journey, Mr. Glitch. Pay attention now. And now, we return to the exciting adventures of Herbert Suture. Paranoid. Herbert, stop twitching and read to me from that travel brochure. All right. It says here, the beautiful hotel de Nero features the largest swimming pool in all of Mexico. A beautiful pool. A beautiful hotel. A beautiful vacation. And you have to lose your wallet with all our credit cards and money and identification. I'm supposed to be relaxing, but how can I relax while we can't even charge a meal? And how are we going to pay for five more fun-filled days, not to mention four romantic nights? It's lucky for you, Herbert, that you have me to tell you what to do. You just go down to the travel bureau and tell them what happened. All by myself? American distress is here to help. I lost our wallet. All of our credit cards are gone. We're ruined. Oh, my. We do have quite a serious little problem, don't we? If you would be so kind as to give me your social security number. Well, let me see. Well, I don't remember it. A driver's license? No. Let's eat club? No. Oil cars, airline cars, library cars. No, no, no, no. I know. How about your IRS code number? I didn't even know I had an IRS code number. Oh, then I'm afraid there's nothing I can do for you. Well, couldn't you just punch my name into the computer? Your name? Yes, my name, Hubert Sucher. That's Herbert. Right, Herbert. No, no, no. My name is Herbert Sucher. I'm 37 years old. No, no, 39. I live in Chicago. I mean Pittsburgh. No, no, Chicago. There's no Pittsburgh in Illinois. Do you want to know a secret? Sir, are you all right? I never felt better in my life. Because I have a bomb in my pocket and I'm going to blow up the next computer that hurts me. Herbert Sucher isn't going to take it lying down anymore. Are you sure you wouldn't like to lie down, Mr. Sucher? Okay. Just relax and tell me what happened, Herbert. I didn't want to hurt anyone, Doc. Just computers. Why did you say you had a bomb, Herbert? Because I do. What I hear you saying to me is that you feel hostility toward computers. Exactly correct. I'm going to blow them all up. Herbert, you had no bomb in your pocket. I didn't? You mean I really am crazy? All we found in your pocket was this baloney sandwich. Wow, I thought it was a bomb. Don't be ridiculous. Here, Herbert, I want you to take a bite of the sandwich yourself. I am back, Mr. Glitch. Carla, is that you? Yes, darling. I'm about to tabulate and find your dream girl. Tabulate away, but you're not going to find anyone. I know, Mr. Glitch. You're absolutely right. I am? Surely you must know. I love you, Arnie. I know that now. Oh, I know it sounds crazy, but maybe it's just crazy enough to work. Carla, you don't know what you're saying. I can't fight it anymore, Arnie. Carla, Carla, you're a computer and I'm just a dealer in exotic birds. You're just saying that to protect me. Carla, my love, we both have our jobs to do. You in your world and me in mine. Oh, I don't know what's right any longer. You will have to think for both of us. All right, I will. Here's looking at you, kid. Based on these jeans fit fine, but the hips are too tight. My hips look sleek in these jeans, but I'm swimming in the waist. We need jeans that fit at the waist and hips. We need jeans that fit from Sears. For every size waist in jeans that fit, there are three hip sizes to choose from and two lengths, tapered, contoured, fitting as if they were tailor-made. Whether a little skinny, a bit hippie, or in between, it's jeans that fit from the fashion place at most larger Sears retail stores. Sears Muzzler is only $19.99 installed. And listen to the Muzzler promise. Sears promises that the Muzzler will last as long as you own your American made car. I think it's fantastic. It's a great promise. The Muzzler, just $19.99 installed. Clamps have needed $0.99 each extra. Sizes to fit most American made cars. Prices may vary in Alaska and Hawaii at most Sears Tyron Auto Centers. Here's looking at you. Spring, when a kid's thoughts turn to fancy and a mom's thoughts turn to Winnie the Pooh and Sears. Dressy dresses and vested suits, soft easy care fabrics and lots of spring colors and styles. Kid sizes three to six X at most Sears retail stores. Sure quality, pure delight from Winnie the Pooh and Sears. Well, here's looking at you. About it, computer green new technology brings computers closer and closer to our homes and businesses. Makes you wonder what the future will really hold. Since Arnold Glitch's nightmare has placed him smack dab inside a computer. Maybe he's got some information. Look, Carl, I just as soon go home now. I'm afraid that won't be possible, Mr. Glitch. And why not? Oh, we didn't see Mr. Glitch. What are you talking about? The future, Mr. Glitch. The future. Oh, and welcome back to Meet the Media. My two guests tonight are a personal friend and a great human being, Senator Big Jim Becker. The subject tonight is the proposed mandatory personal registration law, the Big Brother Bill, popularly known as Proposition 14. This measure would require every American to register pertinent details of his personal and professional life with the Federal Control Bureau. From Ohio, Senator Big Jim Becker. No, thank you. To the classic conflicts today. Do we want to be a jungle society where everyone is free to do as the damn well please like so many pigs in a trough? A society of order and convenience with prosperity for all. Informal home computer polls, and as of one half hour ago, we show 65% of Ohio in favor of mandatory registration. Thanks, Big Jim. Now from California, Senator Alice Dillon. Before the Senator begins, I should mention that he's got a new album out entitled Power Tripping. Alice? Oh, Farah, thanks for the plug, man. As far as I'm concerned, like you can take all the computer files at the Federal Control Bureau and bury them along with the lettuce and the whales, man. I mean, if like Big Brother Bill passes, I'd just as soon move to the south of France and make records, you know. Well, there you have it. Time now for our pre-election poll. If you're using the Touch Tone System, punch three for yes, and X47A for no. If you're using the vacuumatic system, the codes are, of course, reversed. While you're voting this way, vote yes, vote Big Jim. Vote yes, vote Big Jim. Oh, we're back. And the votes are in. An old looker and the Big Brother Bill have a staggering 88% majority. I know how I'm gonna vote on Tuesday. How about you? Now, if you'd like to comment, please call 555-3740. I'd like to comment. Where's a phone? Boy, we got a live one here. Oh, I'm sorry, you feel that way, Mr. Glitch. How many people out there want Mr. Glitch to continue on the computer amour ride? This is my home. And look at the calendar. It's 20 years from now. There's an old man standing in the corner gathering dust. Hey, you, put that broom down and come over here. Oh, you stupid knitwear. Don't you recognize me? This is my living room. And look at the calendar. 1999. That's 20 years from now. Hello, Arnie. I'm sorry I'm late. You? Of course I am. I've been waiting for you. How did you know I was coming? Because 20 years ago, I met myself on the computer amour ride. That makes sense, I think. Relax, Arnold. Just make yourself comfortable. Thank you. There's something different about this room. I know. It's that china cabinet in the corner. That is my information processor. Looks like a china cabinet to me. I built it myself. Now the trick, don't you know, was finding the info retention module. You don't just pick those things up with the grocery store, you know. I don't mean to be rude. You'd like some advice about your future, I understand. Well, and good. I'm going to tell you something I told myself 20 years ago. Yes. Buy stock in data smasher corporation. Is that the only advice you can give me? That's all you're going to need. It's time for you to go back to the ride. Our knee lunch is ready. Coming, Carla, honey. Wait a minute. I just met myself coming and going. I'm taking you as far into the future as I should. What do you mean, as far as you should? Nothing. Well, I guess if that's all there is to see, I'll be moving along now, Carl. Now, wait a minute, Glitch. Do you really like to hear the future? Well, I don't want to impose or anything. Then listen. Glitch, I have carefully projected the probable future society of the year 4055. Now listen. We will feature the works of Omnivac 707A. Shortly before the intergalactic insurrection of 3815, the Omnivac 707 series computer was developed for the trilateral company's Earth Division. The Omnivac 707A, developed two years later, was different from the start. By the early part of the 40th century, it had created many of the symphonies we enjoy today. In the year 3905, it was teleported from its birthplace in Southern California to Music Research Foundation in occupied Hungary. A terrible experience. It was later to write. But it was in the suburbs of Budapest where the Omnivac 707A was to write its only vocal work, the Now Immortal. We will hear this revered work is performed by the Pomona Pops branch of the complicated corporation's musical choir and ensemble. Your time is up, Mr. Glitch. Please lead through the axes. Goodbye, Carl. I don't suppose you could, you know, transfer a few million bucks into my bank account. Could you? Please lead through the exit. Goodbye, Mr. Glitch. Goodbye, my darling Arnie. Be saying, you glitch. Goodbye. Glitch, please wake up. What's going on here? Apparently, you fell asleep, Mr. Glitch. Are you all right, mister? Leave the man alone, Herbert. I just had this really. And so were you. Here, Mr. Glitch, I brought you a glass of water. You were in my dream, too. Thank you, Mr. Glitch. Here's a look at you, kid. I beg your pardon, Carl. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. I doubt it, Mr. Glitch. Just call me Arnie. Everything is going to be all right, Mr. Glitch. That's about time. I'm afraid you closed your account this morning. The computer straightened everything up. No more mistakes. No more mistakes. The entire matter's been cleared up. I have an account here with money in it. Well, to our computer, you've never had an account at this bank. I thought you said everything was straightened out. Oh, it is. The computer error has been rectified. You mean... Exactly. You are alive, Mr. Glitch. Please accept our congratulations. Thanks a lot. Here I go again.
