Valentine I don't know exactly why I should spend money to save the life of someone I don't know possibly of several people I don't know I imagine it's because I'd like a little peace of mind call it conscience or whatever you wish at any rate I need your help I believe that together we may be able to prevent another murder if the idea appeals to you please call on me at the above address some evening this week come after nine o'clock when I can be sure we'll be alone I suggest you make it as soon as possible before the next tragedy signed Laura Trask now Mrs. Trask suppose you tell us whose life is in danger and what you want us to do about it I don't know mr. Valentine I haven't the slightest idea who it would be yet yet mr. Trask what do you mean by that just what I say miss Brooks there may be no one at all but after what's already happened I can't take that chance and what is it that's already happened mr. Valentine I have predicted two murders I've known about them before they happened you you have and you didn't do anything to stop them call the police the police no no you see the first time I didn't quite believe it would happen myself well not just a minute Mrs. Trask do you mind telling me how you found out about these murders it may be hard for you to believe mr. Valentine in both cases I've had a sudden premonition very strong premonition that these people would be killed and when and where and there were both people you knew I'd never heard of either of them both times a name came to me very clearly a name and a time and a place it was insistent I couldn't get it out of my mind so what did you do I remember there was a crime reporter on the clarion a man named Henry Ellis oh sure Hank Ellis friend of mine you told him about your impression yes I didn't give him my name of course first time I told him that a man named Arthur Prindle would be shot killed in front of his rooming house on Elm Street that night what a thank you probably what you would have done laughed at me and hung up the next morning it was in the paper it had happened just as I told him but what how do you think this vision came to you Mrs. Trance I have no idea the name and place simply came to me very vividly I see and there was a second word you say several weeks later yes a man named Walter Ransom oh yes I read about that one successful businessman shot and killed in his own study I knew about it an hour before again I called your reporter friend when he got there with the police that it already happened if it happens to me again I I want to call you yeah yeah all right Mrs. Trance you do that but first tell me have you said anything about this to anyone else outside of Hank Ellis that is yes I've told my husband I'm afraid he thinks I have hallucinations dream up things after they've happened here and here now no my husband is busy until very late every night he owns a club oh would he be Tommy Trance Club 52 that's right swanky place complete with gambling casino it's one of the better clubs in town mr. Valentine yes I know you've told anyone else only one other person dr. Schroeder dr. Klaus Schroeder my psychiatrist oh well you don't seem like the sort of person who would need a psychiatrist Mrs. Trance and say some time ago I had a little mental upset miss Brooks nothing serious dr. Schroeder has helped me a great deal in orienting myself well what does he say about these visitations of yours he can't understand it any more than I he's trying to isolate my thoughts learn more about them it's all a little frightening isn't it Mrs. Trance yes but it wouldn't be so much so if I could stop the next one I feel responsible perhaps we can stop it just remember one thing if you get another of these premonitions call me right away I'll take it from there okay broxy that takes care of George did you get Hank Ellis on the phone yeah did Mrs. Trance actually calling both times before the murder took place sure first time Hank thought she was balmy and hung up on a second time he got there too late just as she said well and that proves she didn't just dream all those things after she'd read about them naturally also proves that she's either psychic which you don't believe I'm sure or that she'd had advanced information from some source or other maybe she didn't tell us everything she knows darling maybe not which would just make it tougher Mr. Valentine oh yeah I'm Tommy Trask understand you want to see me yeah that's right oh this is miss Brooks I do miss Brooks why don't you sit down for a minute certainly what can I do for you I don't know exactly perhaps nothing I just came in to lay a few cards on the table you came in oh yes I understand what you mean well perhaps I can accommodate you just a second trust let's get straightened out I don't mean the cards in the back room oh and what do you mean it's about Mrs. Trask she's engaged me to try and help her I see about the thing she's imagined well I I don't think a couple of corpses come under the heading of imagination mr. Trask to you naturally not the fact remains Mrs. Trask knew about both of those killings before they happen yes so she tells me would you mind giving us your opinion of the whole thing not at all either she came across some information somewhere well she murdered them herself but she's a witch I'm afraid the days of Salem are over mr. Trask so let's drop the witchcraft and I don't believe you think your wife is a murderer only trying to be funny of course I don't at least only one thing that she came across some information perhaps that's it did you know either of those men who were killed I did not one of them was a bum killed in front of his boarding house the other was a businessman of some means and if you're trying to insinuate that I had to talk in your sleep mr. Trask no of course not I just wanted to get your angle before we try to help prevent another murder that's all there won't be another murder mr. Valentine at least none that my wife will know about beforehand what makes you so sure of that mr. Trask because I believe my wife will be cured of this strange thing that's been happening to her I'm sure dr. Schroder her psychiatrist will straighten the whole thing out yeah yeah I suppose a good psychiatrist can well thanks for your time mr. Trask tomorrow morning I'm gonna call on this dr. Schroder and then we'll just sit tight and see what happens mr. Valentine miss Brooks yes now what may I do for you well Dr. Schroder you have a patient by the name of Trask Mrs. Tommy Trask oh well I believe you must know the ethics of the profession mr. Valentine whether I have or have not a patient of any particular name is not the business of an outsider oh yeah that's quite right doctor I understand except you see Mrs. Trask is my client too ah you are also a doctor mr. Valentine is trying to help Mrs. Trask in another way dr. Schroder but it has a connection with what you're doing for her so well I I'm afraid I still don't understand why you come to me doctor we know about the premonitions the visions mrs. Trask has had we know you're trying to do something about them is that clear clear yes I suppose but if you are not a member of the profession why did she engage you so that another incident of the same kind could be stopped before it happens that's all now are you willing to go operate with me well but of course mr. Valentine yes I'm sorry what can I do for you can tell me this doctor do you think mrs. Trask has some sort of occult power that makes her predict murders ah mr. Valentine I must confess I am completely at the loss I have studied Berlin Paris Vienna I feel I understand my work but this case has me completely baffled I mean you think it's possible to have supernatural power all my training tells me it's impossible but in this case I'm frank with you I do not know dr. Schroder when you're giving mrs. Trask your treatments or whatever you call them hasn't she ever dropped some little clues to how she knows these things well only some vague remarks about her husband something that she seems I'm forgetting what the lady tells me is for me to know and use the better her mental health yeah I understand doctor well thanks oh by the way yeah when do you think she'll have another premonition of murder who knows perhaps at this moment perhaps next month perhaps never how can I say you're right how can anybody say well good luck doctor and let's hope that between us we can find the answer to mrs. Trask's problem that's right yeah well it's a little late for office hours happened again just a few minutes ago all right let's have it he runs a carnival on West Crenna Street you know what into me all right all right go ahead what else came to you he sleeps in a tent on the carnival grounds mr. Valentine at midnight someone will be there to murder him that's all you have that's all right I know where it is been passed to many times all right that gives me an hour stay where you are and wait for my call okay brook see here we are that must be diggers tent right over there yes it's also dark around here what do we do now George you stay right out here in the car and wait for Johnson I can't understand why he isn't here they said he was at home they give him the message and have him come right out you'll be along pretty soon then just stay in the car what are you going to go over to that tent and find diggers still got a few minutes before the job supposed to come off hey diggers hey diggers you in there must be asleep I better get inside what's the idea was that I said don't move what sounds familiar what are you who is it what do you want me to get away from me sure I'll let you go in just a few minutes I'll let you take a little ride with the police Mrs. Trask we'll return to tonight's adventure of George Valentine in just a moment frenzy was over a year ago that standard oil company of California announced a revolutionary new oil that had been developed by atomic energy that new oil was new rpm motor oil for which we promised doubles engine life the time between major overhauls due to lubrication and since then actual case histories have confirmed this promise time after time users of new rpm have written in to tell us that everything we said was true new rpm did double engine life new rpm cut in half the wear rate of critical engine parts one cab company operating in the tough grind that all cabs go through found new rpm added 100% engine life no wonder that new rpm motor oil has for years been first choice of western motorists so here's what new rpm motor oil can do for your car if repair bills have been giving you nightmares change to the oil that doubles engine life and if you own an automobile for which the manufacturer recommends a heavy-duty type of motor oil remember this fact new rpm motor oil exceeds all their requirements so for top protection under all driving conditions be sure you're getting new rpm when you buy motor oil to be sure stop in at any independent chevron gas station or standard station where they say and mean we take better care of your car back to tonight's adventure of George Valentine you find yourself with an apparently normal client who has an equally abnormal talent the ability to predict murders before they happen the first to come off according to the precise schedule of her premonitions the third about which she has called you doesn't come off quite the same way because you surprised the lady herself gun in hand at the scene of the predicted crime if your name is George Valentine you're beginning to wonder why you ever took the case when from another corner of the carnival tent you hear I say what's coming off here that you must have tickets of course of course who are you maybe we could discuss that better with a little light you got one someplace right and electric torch here here we are there now what's all this fuss out here I heard a shot of this well the lady to get what is all this now now let's not put on an act you two know each other of course you know this lady I never lied eyes on her before in all my life huh but I'm sure the lady knows you don't you Mrs. Trask what are you trying to do to me mr. Valentine I don't know this man coo what are you two doing here in the middle of the night anyway good question Mrs. Trask ladies first Mr. Valentine I know what you must be thinking but it's not true you think I came here to kill this man myself now what else is there to think kill me I say that what are you talking about let's have Mrs. Trask explain that I can I can I know you told me to stay home after I called you on the phone but I was afraid you wouldn't come I had to be sure there wasn't another murder you had a pretty good idea who was going to commit the murder right no of course not I just realized that if I could stop this one some way maybe I could get the whole horrible thing out of my mind forever you've got to believe me mr. Valentine now see you I don't understand all this I'm a peaceable man I run a carnival and I've run it on is now who'd want to murder me I don't know yet because maybe nobody this your own gun Mrs. Trask yes yes of course it is 22 very pretty what do you mean by that ladies type gun you know Valentine Valentine you in there oh yeah Johnson Bruxy with you sure come on in and join the party I'll just keep the gun for you Mrs. Trask much safer for everybody yeah well I got here as fast as it could Valentine get me out of bed took a little time yeah yeah I guess I needn't have bothered you Johnson looks like we're not going to have a murder here tonight after all what George I heard a shot it came from this way oh yeah yeah somebody did a little shooting all right but it was dark and they missed yeah but who are these people I'm sorry I forgot my manners Mrs. Trask Mr. Diggers Lieutenant Johnson Miss Brooks how did you already know Mrs. Trask Bruxy yeah tell her now let's get this straight from the sign you're out me out in the middle of the night because you think somebody's going to be murdered oh this gentleman as I understand it Johnson yeah and who gave you to understand it well now somebody had a hunch that song that didn't pay off oh by the way maybe you can give me a little information you remember the Arthur Prindle murder yeah yeah yeah sure what kind of a gun killed Prindle caliber I mean it was a 38 bullet was still in them huh and the Walter Ransom killing the same 38 hey look here what are you getting that what's a lot got to do with this might have a lot to do with it you see I've been commuting with the spirits Johnson some of them know a lot about unsolved murders what kind of crazy talk is that oh it may sound crazy to you lieutenant but I think if I get better acquainted with those spirits they may help you pick up you think somebody tried to kill Mr. Diggins and got away whether it was didn't stick around but won't whoever it was come back after we go maybe but his victim won't be around diggers you're coming home with me tonight for safety sake I am well just as you say lad but I can't for the life of me figure why anybody'd want to kill me neither can I yet Mrs. Trask yes you drive straight home yes I will Johnson I'm sorry to have bothered you see you tomorrow tonight good morning Johnson yeah what do you want need some information you need some information but in order to get it I'll have to give you some not a bad idea if it's any good or it is it is no I don't know if you'll believe it okay should all right the Mrs. Trask you met out at the carnival last night as my client she has a little quirk of being able to predict murders Valentine don't you think you've been working too hard it's a fact she knew about the parental killing before it happened same with a ransom murder same with the one that was supposed to come off last night I suppose this Mrs. Trask just goes into a trance looks in a crystal ball gets a message Johnson it isn't quite as fancy as that she she gets a strong villain China I'm in no mood to talk nonsense you don't have to take my word for it and both of those murders she called Hank Ellis on the clarion before they happened of course yeah say I remember in that handsome ransom case Ellis was on the scene when we got there all right then I'll print all and ransom and the little Englishman diggers are apparently as far apart as the polls but somewhere there's got to be a common denominator something they all had a cop that's easy your client is a common denominator I mean that way she didn't know any of them diggers didn't know her say who is this Mrs. Trask anyway her husband's Tommy Trask we mean hmm well 52 that's right well then there's your common denominator yeah how do you figure well he hasn't always been in the chips you know and he made a lot of enemies maybe some of them had something on him he had to get rid of him yeah come on so his wife heard him planning these things or talk to him in his sleep no no no boy I came up with that little cutie myself only I didn't play at that seriously no our common denominator is the men who were killed yeah they got help us much now I'd like you to do something yeah what I want good pictures of both parental and ransom get them sent up from the files now pick them up in a few minutes pictures that's right good ones while you're doing that I'm going to pick up Bruxy Mr. Valentine hello ladies I didn't get a chance to thank you for keeping me in your apartment last night and tonight please you've got there everything going all right today smooth as silk ma'am no need to worry about me I just came out to ask for something certainly come inside my case okay yeah hey did you ever know anybody by the name of Walter Ransom Walter Ransom hmm most I can't say as I have say he was that look as was killed a while back wasn't it yeah that's right now try this one Arthur Prundle Arthur yes all right I knew an Arthur Prundle once quite a long time ago well then take a look at this picture this the one you knew yes sir that's the one where did you know him I'd rather not say Mr. Valentine listen if you want to save your own life and maybe some others you'd better tell me all right then it was in San Quentin this Prundle was in at the same time I was you know the man in this picture certainly he was out at the same time to name is Bill Gates George Lieutenant Johnson said that's a picture of Walter Ransom that's right Bruxy but people do change their name sometimes when they get to be successful and want to get rid of the past now I got one more for you to look at tickets certainly sir here we are why George that's just an ad I know something I picked up know this man diggers yes that's the one that escaped oh he was a bad one he was I thought I saw him one day on the street but hey that's the wrong name it says they I thought it might be what's the right name he's Fred Farmer oh yes a bad one he's a killer I'd recognize him even in that picture thanks diggers maybe you solved a couple of murders and kept yourself alive at the same time George what are you gonna do call Johnson fairs Brooks he haven't joined us in a little party oh and diggers you're invited to Mr. Valentine yeah that's right Dr. Schroeder I'm sorry to come right in without being announced no that's quite all right but no wait you seem to be excited about something yeah I am I think I found a way to clear up those premonitions of Mrs. Trask's well that will be a great help only I need one more fact before we can wash it up I'm sure you can give it to me of course what is that fact why did you kill Prendall and ransom farmer farmer I don't know what you're talking about you don't then I'll tell you both Prendall and ransom were classmates of yours at San Quentin weren't they far now young man you're being utterly ridiculous I can understand a thing you're saying it was a great idea getting Mrs. Trask in a hypnotic state and telling her about the murders in advance Mr. Valentine your imaginations they're fantastic Mrs. Trask told me about these things now I'm afraid you have the wrong man yeah how about those traveling bags getting ready to go somewhere I have a case out of town you certainly have missed on the diggers deal didn't you knew you'd have to get up please my patience has limits sure so does mine okay farmer let's not waste any time well diggers come on in what but what where's diggers yes Mr. Valentine what do you want with me where recognize this man diggers recognize him I most certainly do if it ain't all right you fools you bungling amateurs I suppose you think get away with this man's got a gun 38 no doubt and he's already proved it works yes and it'll work again neither one of you is gonna leave this office I've killed two people from my freedom I won't stop at two more I don't think you would farmer only I forgot to tell you there's another guest at our little party okay Johnson you heard the confession come on in and take it I won't go you'll ever get me oh yes we won't farmer this place is surrounded you'd never get away now drop the gun oh yeah he's under control Bruxy come on come on let's get out and give our client a little piece of mind tell you about it on the way if slapdash grease jobs have left your car squeaking like a crate of baby chicks call on car savers and see what you've been missing car saver lubrication service gets rid of squeaks cuts the wear rate of vital parts and car savers stand behind every grease job with a guarantee against squeaks for a full thousand miles for quieter smoother driving and longer car life get a car saver grease job every 1,000 miles at any independent chevron gas station or standard station where they say and mean we take better care of your car George how did you even suspect dr. Schroeder well it made sense after I got the common denominator the other three had spotted him recognized him as farmer even the beard and the phony accent so he had to get rid of him well yes but Mrs. Trask you think he actually told her about these people who were going to be killed sure but only when he had her under a hypnotic spell during those treatments of hers I still don't see why you tell her oh not so strange Tommy Trask has a past too if his wife began predicting murders who would they suspect Tommy Trask and that would take the suspicion away from far right George do you think I could hypnotize you sure I suppose so why what would be the point well you might suddenly find yourself one day in a jewelry store buying something for somebody hey that makes me think what darling I gotta get my watch fixed I better do that right away George tonight's adventure of George Valentine has been brought to you by standard oil company of California on behalf of independent Chevron gas stations and standard stations throughout the West Robert Bailey is starred as George with Virginia Greg as Bruxy let George do it was written by Lloyd London and directed by Kenneth Webb Ken Christie was heard as Lieutenant Johnson Alice Reinhard as Laura Harry Bartell as Trask Larry Dobkin as Klaus and Parley Bear as Glenn the music is composed and presented by Eddie Dunsteader your announcer John Heiston listen again next week same time same station to let George do it let George do it is heard overseas through the worldwide facilities of the armed forces radio service this is the mutual Don Lee broadcasting system
