blessing for busy women like you it takes so little time to give yourself the most natural looking wave you've ever had with Tony you don't have to spend half a day away from home you don't have to sit under a hot dryer while your Tony wave is taking you can listen to the radio read do anything you like this weekend get the Tony kit complete with plastic curlers for just two dollars follow the simple directions and see how convenient it is to give yourself the loveliest wave you've ever had with Tony home permanent the wave that gives that natural look P-O-N-I Tony side street you ain't so crowded we can talk okay but I hear I don't wish this on you Casey you ain't a guy who owes me anything after I run into you by accident a while ago I got to thinking of maybe it was one of them signs you see I've been praying yeah well there was always a regular in my book and I got to think that maybe you was the one guy in a world I could turn to for help well the kind of help you need I'm not so heavy with dough I have plans for a day but if you've got to have I don't want any money oh well you're not in trouble wait a minute you're wrong with the cops again not yet not yet Casey I've been a hundred percent straight since I came out of store last time I asked you to believe that I believe you that I the wife and I built up a nice little business we got it we got a store uptown the back of candy toys stationary things we're going along just swell until two weeks ago what happened then a couple of guys come in at my store with a proposition they wanted me to crack a safe yeah they offered me five thousand bucks to do this job nice money I told him where to go with it a couple days later they come back they raised their offer to 10 grand I threw him out of the place gone I didn't get me nothing he told me I'd play along with him or else and this morning I found a loaded 45 caliber automatic under my candy kind of a gun yeah I'm an ex-con Casey a three time loser you know what I mean for me if the cops found a gap in my possession you get the book sure I'd be put away for keeps the gun was planted under that counter Casey sometimes during the night I wrapped it up I made an excuse to a wife I had to come downtown and I went to the North Bridge and I dropped in the river this gun was left for you'd be sure to find it yeah it wasn't meant as a frame just a there's a hint of what'll happen if I don't play ball or the two guys been around to follow up their hint I don't know I ain't been back to the store since I left the bridge I just been walking around trying to think wife don't know anything about them guys in the proposition I told it I can't tell her she knows all about my record you can figure out sketch you'd be and you haven't told the cops the guy like me ever under the couple that it'd be smart if you ran through this no no why not in the first place they wouldn't believe me an ex-con if the guy's trying to put something over I can't blame him Casey well I could tell him you gotta promise me you won't live listen suppose they did believe me what happens they set a trap for the guys who propositioned me them guys got friends will know that the squirrel at the cops act on how to come from me my life wouldn't be worth a nickel yeah just you got some promise me you won't say nothing better cops Casey you got it what do you want me to do but I don't know I just had a talk to somebody that's all for a guy I knew was right and I ain't got that you could head Casey I figured maybe maybe you could figure my way out thanks for the compliment who are the guys that came to you with his property I don't know they didn't tell me the names when I get around a little what do they look like one was tall and skinny had a long face and big yellow teeth he kind of looks like a horse yeah the other is a little dark heavy set wait a minute the one you say it looks like a horse is he got a long scar on his neck yeah like somebody done a shift job on it can't be too much to answer that description scar neck horse face must be Jake Vanister head strong arm goon for Nick Reynolds Nick Reynolds you must know who he is the names familiar but you are out of touch with a racket kid Nick Reynolds is the mr. big behind some of the dirtiest crooked work that goes on in his town but he poses as a solid respectable business guy and the cops have never been able to nail him oh wait a minute tell me more about the little heavy set mug he looks he's got a corny flower here like a plug and he thinks of perfume Tony chef he's another rentals guys this is beginning to sound like hot stuff I don't suppose they told you who's safe they weren't open to know anything about it only there was a small house safe a real tough one that's what he needed an old hot shot like me and they offered you dough to crack a 10 grand they didn't say anything about giving a share of what's in it that's right I got a notion there isn't any dough in the box to share case he just up into somebody wants and it's willing to pay high for I think you can find out from those guys where the box is the location of the house and who lives there they won't tell me unless I say I'll play ball with them look back to your store they ought to be paying you a visit there today after planting that gun try to learn all you can and then well I made other plans for this afternoon but I'll I'll stick around the blue note I'll write down the number of a phone booth there so we can talk in private when you call here it is thanks Casey I got a dinner date for round seven that I can't break fellow and then I'll be tied up for the rest of the evening so if your guys don't show by seven things gonna have to just ride a while I guess in the meantime I'll be running down a little tip I got on Nick Reynolds tip yeah it's just a piece of gossip I didn't think much of until I heard your story now it may mean something well so long but take it easy now and try not to worry huh that's right but you remember you promised me Casey you won't tell the cop yeah that's right I won't tell the cops and because your ex-convict friend is so worried Casey you leave me sitting here in the blue note from most of the afternoon I phoned you be a little delayed a little delayed look at the time is nearly five o'clock you were taking me to the movies this afternoon remember kid what's a movie when a guy's in a jam poor fellow isn't a bad spot he's in a terrible spot from what Casey's told us miss Williams and I don't see what can be done about it without help from the cops and if they are brought into the picture Appleburton Biff would be killed for squealing Nick Reynolds is behind this thing and he plays rough Casey you said you've been following up a tip on Reynolds you know Monty Summers Annie of the Summers detective agency and Summers Blackmail Bureau would be a better name for his outfit that's right well Summers is a shakedown artist of the dirtiest kind he's done a lot of work for Nick Reynolds but he doesn't work for him anymore there's been a buster I heard that my tip was that Summers pulled the old double-cross and collected evidence against his boss Reynolds enough to send him away for life now Reynolds is supposed to be paying him plenty to keep that evidence under his hat well that tip sounds like a phony Reynolds wouldn't pay a blackmailer he'd have him bumped off well sure like you just said Casey Nick Reynolds plays rough but he's too smart to play rough when he stands to lose by it if Summers has the goods on Reynolds it's in documentary form it won't be destroyed by his death since that Summers convinced his old boss that the stuff will be made public he's killed or if he disappears yeah that's all but Casey what's it got to do with your friend Biff Connors half over two of Nick Reynolds trusted hoods offer a flat sum not a share to open a house safe you mean well it could be Monty Summers documentary evidence that Reynolds wants and if it is and we could get it Casey what a story what a story but exclusive pictures it'll be worth missing an afternoon movie for when the kid and if the evidence got Nick Reynolds sent to jail this town would be a much better place to live in but how is this theory of yours going to help this kind of casey doesn't it's a complication well since Biff hasn't fallen I guess Reynolds mugs didn't show up at his place probably taking a holiday not like a little holiday myself and away from this place I'm hungry Casey let's start for the red well it's not nearly seven o'clock yet any I told the guy phones I'll tell him you've gone to the rich casey and a cold oh no effort but I'm not gonna have my Thanksgiving dinner spoiled by phone call for Casey we're so anxious to get out of the good old blue note miss Williams I thought you think again after we leave here you tell nobody where to reach us we're gonna have the rest of this day to our cell yeah you do as miss William says now really nothing I can do for Biff tonight and he's gonna stall those guys anyway whatever you say Casey yeah well come on any at last we're going places right so long at the bird so yes wallet phone call for you in the bull Mr. Connors excuse me and I might have known as a bird I might have no hello Casey speaking anything happened you told me Casey couldn't stop not I said they'd get my wife and kid if I didn't fall in line they weren't bluffing I gotta do that job tonight at 12 or else well tonight yeah I promised them I will and I have to there's no way you anybody else can help me now pal I just won't cuz I said I wouldn't you wouldn't be kept hanging around till seven o'clock wait a minute don't hang up I know you're talking to me Biff after you promise those guys that you do their job did they tell you where it's gonna be what you promised me Casey no cops you've got to trust me fellow now give me that address will you grab no number 390 39 all Riker that's right those two guys will go there with you at 12 tonight yeah well listen stay in your store I'll get in touch with you there by 10 30 got some chance there's a swell chance if there's every chance now stop worrying kid you'll hear from me in a couple of hours so long I got faith in you Casey so long faith in a liar I can't figure any chance yeah yeah I know don't tell me we're not heading for the Ritz some turkey dinner no we're going out to look over Monty Summers house right now I mean Monty Summers a black man I looked up his address this afternoon just in case he lives at 390 Riker Avenue come on Annie let's go yeah so long at the bird so long no thanks giving dinner for you don't when this house we go the horse knows the way to carry the sleigh through this something right there hi at the bird say wasn't that Casey and miss Williams just leaving the blue note there hello mr. Cullen yeah that was them well I didn't speak to me well I was going so fast they must not a senior yeah why the speed well they're trying to stop a safe cracker from cracking a safe he don't want to crack I don't quite follow you at the bird but I gather that crime does not take a holiday no and in and Casey figured it would eat promise miss Williams turkey and trimmings at the Ritz that's where he made his mistake mistake well I'd call that a pretty sound idea for Thanksgiving day making a promise to a woman mr. Cullen that's always a mistake no effort Tony made a promise to millions of women and it's been a great thing for everybody you see not many years ago no one ever dreamed women could give themselves satisfactory permanence right at home but Tony developed a gentle cream cold wave that they knew would give wonderful results with all types of hair so they made a promise and backed it up with a guarantee they said Tony will give you a permanent that lasts just as long as a $15 beauty shop wave and is guaranteed to look more natural or your money back and women were interested they tried Tony and the promise came true they found they can give themselves waves and curls with Tony that are so soft and shiny they look like naturally curly hair so they told their friends and what's happened you asking me or is that a reader Oracle I guess everybody knows the answer at the bird now more than a million women each month use Tony home permanent more than a million mm-hmm that's a lot of women yes each month another million women give themselves lovely Tony waves at the whale of a big house any body summers live well now that we're looking at it Casey what are you gonna do and we've got to think as though we plan to crack a safe here ourselves the easiest to go in and out from the front mm-hmm see I think I'd come here in a car and parking under one of these trees not directly in front of the house of book but close enough for a quick getaway leave a lookout in it no no no I wouldn't do that a guy sitting in a parked car might attract attention if they don't want I'd post a lookout but he won't be in the car even near it most of the time mm-hmm well now that that's decided what do we do I don't know kid I'm trying to make us think that I'm pretty sure that Nick Reynolds will come here himself with this and those rotten in the night he trusts nobody but himself to take that evidence out of the safe you want his own hands take it away and examine it destroy it if it's a chance of getting him we've got to get the cops in on there but they catch their opening the safe despite of everything that we could say in a guy's favor the law says that fourth offenders go up the life and we've got to catch Reynolds with the goods and at the same time keep this out of the large order it is too large kid I can't see any way to fill it if you and I came back here at midnight and hit ourselves when Reynolds and this Connors and the others come out we can cover them with a couple of guns we'll capture Reynolds and his gang and let this Connors get away and he can you really picture you and me in a gangster movie act like that we'd only get ourselves shot I guess we're not the right type why aren't we like some of the characters we see in the movies they solve everything so easily by just drawing the crusty automatic and going bang bang bang we were what am I a woman or a mouse in that Western we saw last week a gal my size captured a dozen tough cattle rustlers all by herself well our boyfriend was pretty good to go back and handsome in a fancy pants he was certainly a shock with a lot to the last of the character who tried to steal grandpappy's beef ranch he can't get off his pinto pony so hard I kind of got a good bone mister and so easy in the movie oh well line of thinking isn't getting us anywhere no but wait a minute maybe it is what lasso man want to meet him a couple of blocks from here see at 11 o'clock like I told you they'll be in the blacks to then they'll have the tool for me for the safety and we get out to the right-of-rave new house they say the guy owns the joint won't be there that's what it just got to be done it's only a servant in our house and he's been fixed they don't look for any trouble that now they claim it'll be a set I do for a surprise you're the one who's not headed for trouble Casey tell me what I know now unless you know about this whole thing the better for you but I want you to be sure that three things yeah first after you open the safe don't summer safe must be really tough Reynolds had to get an expert like this job you're sure it was Nick Reynolds that we saw go into the house it's dead sure went in with this and horse face Reynolds presence here and he means about his deep personal interest in that explosion from inside the house it means this has had to blow it up and it's open and they'll soon be coming out that's right you're you're you're certainly a look didn't see what you did a while ago but you didn't use the end of the block across the street when I was working in the dark I hope the work you did work trust old cowboy Casey and quiet quiet I can be shadows that coming from the house now and fast Reynolds is carrying sweet I see it set himself in the car he's going to drive started the motor who's the others get in I'll help him make a good get away but he doesn't start that car back to me Reynolds has taken the front seat beside the driver that's now they're brilliant it's time for me to impersonate a cop here goes and quiet quiet keep back any shadows that coming from the house now and fast Reynolds is carrying a briefcase I see it set himself in the car he's going to drive started the motor who's the others get in I'll help him make a good fast get away but he doesn't start that car back to me the others are in the car now Reynolds has taken the front seat beside the driver that's perfect now they're all in it's time for me to impersonate a cop here goes hey you fellas in that car you made the driver step on the gas came hard it won't be long now I see this game work couldn't fail come on we got to get this out of there we'll be braced himself to see didn't it look a man's calling from out of the car it's okay fellas me what happened to the car there's nothing in front of us there's nothing in there now suddenly the thing stopped like we had a stone wall I see your three playmates went half through the windshield and they're out cold case you want never mind you haven't got time to ask any questions now around that corner you'll find a black Ford coupe here's the key get in drive home quick as you can and if anybody ever asks you say you've never been near Riker Avenue come on biff get going quick okay tell whatever you say but you like to know what happened to that car see what the sleeping mr. Reynolds has in his briefcase I want to see a lot of letters canceled checks photographs all incriminating I imagine now we'll call the cops and then Casey you think a gal may safely hope for a bite of dinner or soft water shampooing you Tony cream shampoo even in the hardest water Tony cream shampoo yes even in the hardest water Tony cream shampoo gives soft water shampooing that rinses away dandruff instantly leaves hair so soft so smooth so shining clean today bring out the sparkling beauty of your hair with soft water shampooing get the handy tube or jar of Tony cream shampoo it's new I'm terribly sorry we can't get you and Casey nothing better out of the kitchen than this cold turkey miss Williams but of course the cooks left hours ago I just love cold turkey ever and at this hour morning so much nicer than the dinner I expected to have a risk yeah well I'm awful sorry any I certainly gummed up your day didn't you ever know what I'm kidding Casey I've had a swell day a real day for Thanksgiving because we accomplished something worthwhile your palate say you ain't told me yet how you made that car stop like it had hit a stone wall hmm you've seen a lot of Wild West movies ever but then you've seen men pulled off running horses with the lasso lots of time the horse always kept on running yeah now imagine the horse was lasso not the rider the horse had stopped and his rider would keep on going over his head that's what happened to the Crooks getaway car you lassoed that car casing a little amount of that Casey brought a very strong 150 foot steel cable out there with a hook at both ends in the darkness he hooked one end of his cable to the axle of that car and the other end to a big tree and I made a noise like a cop to start all the driver into a good fast start and when the cable paid out to his little oh I get it yeah and the only reason big corners wasn't not to the wind she liked the others was cause he braced himself like it's all that's right even he was a little daze when he climbed out anyway Reynolds and his mob are all washed up thanks to the stuff in that briefcase they can't hurt big corners or anyone else you two had quite a holiday mm-hmm not grand one oh well have some more cold turkey Casey yeah I think I will any and it didn't cost you anything you save money by not going to the movies to the rich for dinner into a play after well sure that's right yeah you can't need all the dough you got on you of course not huh I hate the done a friend Casey but there's a little matter of that long overdue October bill and he's got you Casey I'm dead to right if this isn't an ending for a grand here I've been roped in myself well as my sister Edna says quote if you give a cap enough rope he can't be led to work no no you can lead a cap before cross I'll be darned if I don't forget it unquote well all right after that here's what I owe you happy thanksgiving yeah happy thanksgiving happy thanksgiving to all I'm photographer starring Stott's Cotsworth as Casey is directed by John Dietz it's written by Alonzo Dean Cole and it's based on the fictional character of flash gun Casey created by George Harman Cox original music by Archie Blyre and the program features Miss Jan Miner as Ann and John Gibson as Ethelbert Herman Chittison as the Blue Note pianist this is Bill Cullen asking you to listen again next week at the same time to another exciting adventure of crime photographer and also inviting you to listen to this is Nora Drake radio's thrilling serial romance heard every Monday through Friday 2 30 p.m. New York time over most of these stations both of these programs brought to you each week by Tony home permanent the wave that gives that natural look and the new Tony cream shampoo for soft water shampooing even in the hardest water this is CBS where 99 million people gather every week the Columbia Broadcasting System
