His name is King Charles King But an orangutan is a pretty big monkey big enough The full grown male can break a couple of Joe Lewis's in two Then I guess six orangutans are plenty for a guy to go into a cage alone with I'd say so Well, we better get over the circuit Danny. It's nearly time for our date I thought you said you were going to the circus tonight. We're interviewing mr. King after the matinee performance We're seeing the show tonight.

I'll be running long wait, buddy Yeah, this lady and gentlemen are going to do a feature story about the act Don't you want to see your act Charlie? They don't want to interview me. See you later. I'd like you to stay I've got some shopping to do nice to meet you miss Williams and mr. Casey. Come on. Come on My wife is always on the go as you Americans say you were a partner, I'm sure certainly I'm very grateful for this visit publicity is the lifeblood of show business Perhaps I better take you downstairs to the animal room the three of us and my orangutangs can get acquainted all at the same time I fancy that's what you wish Come on, then we'll walk down that end to the animal room Careful Annie when Bernice what I thought you were going shopping Hello Charlie hello finale you better get your shopping done Bernie Mr. Casey would excuse me. I want to work with that man. Yes, of course. Go ahead. Thanks. Just a moment for that That is good looking so is Mrs. King. They're both young King must be He looks like a tough guy to tango with him. He seems to be quietly laying down a little law to mr. Finnelli over there Thanks for waiting for me. Not at all. It's all right. Here's the ramp the cage of my beast found far from the bottom Hey, that guy you were talking with had on tights. Mr. King. What is he an acrobat? He's a wild walker Do you good people know very much about orangutan practically nothing we've seen a couple in the zoo Then perhaps you would like to have a little basic information for your story, Ms. Williams. Yes, I would But the orangutan is found only in Borneo and Samata in size. He's the second of the great eighth ranking next to the gorilla Intelligence though someplace the chimpanzee in a higher category. I ranked the orangutan first Does a man moved in those two cages? Oh Casey we've never seen an orangutan like that big fellow at the zoo He's a full grown male. He stood upright, which he seldom does he'd be five feet seven inches tall and he tips the scale at 22 stone about 300 pounds. Hmm. Why do you keep him alone in that case? Is he vicious? No, I'm keeping him who separate temporarily because he hasn't been very well Quite worried about him without nimbo. I wouldn't have the same act Really, I'm fond of the old fellow Seems pretty fond of you You can reach out his hand and Mr. King like a big child. Yeah I let him take my hand and put his other long arm around my neck. I wouldn't want him to that close to me, brother I wouldn't dare to miss this familiarity from the one in the next stage. Oh, he doesn't like you Huh? Oh, he doesn't like anybody fear of nimbo is the only thing that keeps Dillinger in his place Dillinger I call him that because he's a public enemy miss William. Oh, hello boss. Oh, hello, Joe I was beginning to wonder where you were. I was out getting some fresh medicine for nimbo You know, I never want these animals left alone. Where's Tion? He have probably gone for a drink that money's no good. Yes, I know that but he knows big eight Because he is a little ape himself whether you should send him back to Borneo where we got him I'll have another talk with Tion. Oh, excuse me miss Williams. Mr. Casey. This is Joanna's thief My chief assistant. Mr. Fleet. Hi You're on knows as much more about orangutans as I do He was born in Dutch Borneo and talks their language. I talk Dutch and English not a talk But this for men like that Tion My second assistant. He's a dyke. Oh, a Borneo tribesman You can write a few colorful lines about him miss Williams is feeding time I go get fruit for you Character Casey yeah, I heard what you said miss Williams Johan Pilit is Well, it isn't easy to find men who from properly careful orangutans and he knows the beast Same applies to Tion who is your medicus might say another stinker I Yes, you says you were left to watch those animals Tion You're always getting a drink and I'd like it Don't be more good you you send him back chop chop quick to Borneo You don't for do that boss man. You need time. All right He's a fresh bottle of medicine give him some okay, but man first I tell him I go and do him good He's chattering at that big a me in the a-band Well, I'm gonna get some pictures of this. This is terrific. Tion seems to really talk a blank wish miss Williams I believe orangutans have a language and some men learn it That ought to be a good shot. Here comes play it. I'll get one of him feeding it No, look good in the eye and his tongue is tongue very die He more sick than before better you should not have him work tonight. Yeah, it's never so good without nimble joe Never will it be so good if nimble die The true of your right, I suppose I shan't work him tonight. Oh then Casey and I won't see him in your act And I'm sorry miss Williams. You won't see him tonight Oh The most daring Colossal and grossing educational exhibition of man's mastery over the savage beast That has ever been witnessed in the history of the universe. Did any this came down? throwing up a cave most dangerously intelligent animals known to man orangutan That nimble sure looks dangerous and wise I mean one man dares to enter the cage alone and unarmed and to bend them to his superior will ladies and gentlemen the Outstanding star attraction of the sexist world King Was some build-up one minute, huh? The ringmaster did you accuse the pearl of this? Mr. King looks nice and had jungle explorers out there doesn't he yeah Wife isn't half bad in their shorts. She is not in the cave. Don't you just outside over on the left there, and They're letting me eat from the ring-cage mountain of wagons. Yeah, that that Joe cleared it's super tending the job He's around somewhere I imagine Dylan just coming into the cage now Mean looking animals. I'm sorry. We're not gonna see nimble do his stuff. He's a real star This action and King depends on him He told me doesn't have to carry that big whip and the ring with him when nimbo's there Look at he looked at big mugs. They're gonna ride those tricycles Oh, well, it's part of my job to come here and take pictures What was that funny cry wasn't it animal or something again? Stop writing in that car Can't come get me to start again seem to be listening There goes again Look at Dillinger He's got him on the phone any any I'm gonna shoot some pictures of this that cry we heard any I've got a hunch This wasn't any accident Mother's Day is a week from Sunday Why not make this an occasion to be remembered make mother queen for the day keep her out of the kitchen Let the whole family pitch in and cook this Mother's Day dinner yourself It's not as difficult as it sounds particularly if you rely on fire king oven glass the amazing oven glass Which practically assures baking results plan your meal around a big baked casserole dish Supplement it with hot bread or biscuit and top the meal off with a homemade pie Try it easy if you follow the recipes and use fire king oven glass Casseroles pie plates and baking dishes at your favorite chain variety hardware or department store You will find a wide variety of fire king oven glass an ideal Mother's Day gift prices are amazingly low Fire king oven glass is a product of anchor Hawking The most famous name in glass Mr. King of the apes was buried this morning That's right. I've worked here miss Williams and I just came from his funeral I suppose the circus folks gave him a big send off they did the funeral was the circus in itself complete with brass bands and Mrs. King gave a fine center ring performance She put on a big act at the bird she shed crocodile tears all over the place And we think she cared about as much for her husband as I care for Well on 1940 model spring hats was that wire Walker Finnelli there who you think is her boyfriend No, he didn't come to the funeral Neither did tie and tie ends the other fellow who was King's assistant. Yeah, that's I act from Borneo Who's inherited King's place in the act you think one of them people had something to do with King's death, don't you? No King was crushed to death by that big orangutan Dillinger After he and the other apes in the ring had shown a mocked reaction to the peculiar animal cries that everybody heard This Williams and I have seen and heard I am talking to nimble that afternoon and a lot of the circus people believe really believe that he has a special way of communicating with apes and Fantastic as it may seem But those cries made by tie-in could have instructed Dillinger to turn on his master Isn't fantastic at all any a bit dogs horses and lots of animals instinctively react to certain sounds nothing Oh, sure. It ain't hard to teach a pooch to sick him. That's right He wasn't seen by anybody when them cries were heard was he a tie-in. I mean according to his story He had a few drinks too many and was sleeping them off in the animals feed room another thing Ephelbert an expert from the zoo has examined nimble and he says the big ape wasn't naturally sick He'd been dope nimble with the boss monk and he liked King He had to be taken out of the act before tie-in could do anything with Dillinger What are the cops doing about all that nothing nothing they can do No way of proving that those cries had anything to do with King's death So it goes down to the book says what do they call it the Accident incident to a hazardous profession and that's that and we can't even hint at our suspicions in the paper Ephelbert without letting me express in for a libel suit Yeah, but in my book tie-in caused the death of Charles King and I think Mrs. King put them up to it She's now free to play around with finale and Mrs. King owns the act since her husband's death I'm sure that she finale and tie-in were together in this thing and I'm excuse me. There's the farm Just a minute your city editor Casey. Oh, give me it. Yeah Hello Burke Yeah, yeah, I'm here again What what happened at the hippodrome hippodrome? That's where the circus is. Tell me that again, Burke We'll get over there right away so long. What is it case? Finale has been murdered finale and tie-in has been arrested for the killing. Hey, honey. This doesn't add up It just doesn't add up at all How is finale killed Captain Logan the same way Marie Antoinette was his head was cut off Oh, holy the lethal instrument in this case was a curved razor edge Diac knife that's been identified as belonging to that Borneo native Tyan who was found in his dressing room dead drunk with a murder knife beside him shortly after the murder was discovered Did you sober him up enough to talk? He was able to deny that he killed anyone drunk or sober nearly all killers can do that Why should he have killed finale though? Well, the guy's only one generation out of the jungle and he was drunk. That's two reasons Yeah, wait a minute though Logan Tyan had just landed himself a sweet job He'd become the big shot in a big feature act owned by Mrs. King Oh, why should he pitch his big chance away in his life besides by killing our boyfriend? That isn't that out look this Tyan is a semi-savage from Borneo He was lit to the skylight the murder weapon belonged to him and we found it beside him Now Casey take your little camera and hand and shoot pretty pictures for the paper I've got important police work to do so long miss Williams try to keep Casey from straining his brain Why is guy Logan? He's right about Tyan Casey. Is he? Of course he is We're seeing a nice example of poetic justice Mrs. King has Tyan arrange your husband's death so she can have finale and then Tyan destroys the man She wanted and himself at the same time and now she's without a husband without a boyfriend and without a means of making a living He has no one who can work those eight Wait a minute. Yes, she has Johannes fleets Say I've forgotten about him. Yeah, so what I own Annie from the first We've been wrong about this whole setup. Can't you see it and it fleets the guy. Why well because he He knows more about big apes than kingdom. I Think Johannes fleets Dope nimble and gave that cry that caused Dillinger to kill King and then when Tyan was put in King's place Fleet pulled a second murder and framed Tyan for it. Well, where do we go from here? Well, we That's the health. Oh, wait a minute Annie. Give me a chance. Thank you. All right You'll go to Bernice King Mrs. King yes Vanelli's death puts her in a clear fleets been the whole works and she can help us get the goods on him Oh, come on. We're gonna pay her a call Annie and on the way. We'll pick up that wise guy Logan I think you're right. Thanks. You're more easily sold than I am. This is King. I think he's all together wrong You would love him whether he's right or wrong captain I'll take any chance to get the man who may have caused my husband's death You've been frank with me. Mr. Casey You think I was in love with Luigi finale. I was If I looked twice at any man, he'd begin to spy on me question me But for Nellie I was deliberately trying to pay him off for the unhappiness and jealousy of course Miss Williams another woman would realize how I felt what I was doing. Well, I do realize Mrs. King Now jolly's Connie If I could only bring him back he could be jealous. He could beat me anything. We're very sorry I won't cry anymore What do you want me to do, Mr. Casey? Well first I Want you to give Dillinger some of the same harmless dope we think was fed to nimble So Fliot will think that he's sick and we'll have to stay with him tonight I'll get it Casey. No, neither do I. There's more than one way to trip up a murder now tonight, Mrs. King You will go to the animal room and talk with Fliot. Logan and I will be hidden behind the cages now Here's what I want you to take I What are you doing here so late, Mrs. King? I come to talk to you, Joe About Dillinger Well, if you're worried about that O'Rang you think I'm taking good care of him I'm sure you are You figure he and all my other orangs belong to you now and you've become king of the eight Yes, that's right. You can't work them in the ring. I imagine you expect an increase in pay Yeah, I wasn't going to rush you on this mrs. King, but Since you bring the matter up suppose we make it from now on I Take all the money from the act and pay you ten percent of the net You want mighty percent, huh? Well, is that not fair enough for an indispensable man? Joe You're going to work for me in your new job for less money. Are you crazy? You see if you don't accept my terms, I'm going to tell the police and things I know what you mean. I know who really killed finale and my husband How you know that mrs. King? I was here last night when finale was killed. I saw something If you was here last night and saw something Why didn't you tell the corpse? I got a better idea I'm a businesswoman Joe and occurred to me either. You'd work very cheap in order to escape the electric chair Mrs. King You did a very foolish thing in coming here tonight. Why? The police will think you was worried about poor sick Dillinger You was foolish enough to enter his cage while I was out of the room What are you talking about? I'm putting you in a cage Dillinger will do the rest and he did to your husband. Let me go If I kill your husband if I kill finale now, I kill you Let's go that woman Cops to get me you got to shoot through this woman, but I got the gun to You can't get out of here for it. Look I got my gun at this woman's back If I do not go free she died Of you Now mrs. King we go you'll never get away with this. I take my chances on Dutch No walk in front of me off these cages Flow mrs. King. I will Come on help me pull him away Drop Neck is broken Take it easy you're safe now Guess Annie was right I guess there is poetic justice Back to Casey in just a moment, but first here is a message from anchor Hawking I hope that every one of our listeners will make a special point to tune in crime photographer next Thursday evening We're going to have an unusually exciting show and the anchor Hawking glass corporation will have an announcement to make of the utmost important And now tonight we're celebrating national baby week and in the interest of better health Retail stores and food packers throughout America are focusing attention on the scientifically prepared glass packed baby foods Which make it so easy to provide a properly balanced and helpful diet Now these glass packed baby foods Simplified the young mothers work enormously you can eat and serve baby food in the same glass container in which you buy it and Re-seal it safely to store leftover portions Glass containers are easy and safe to open and they have no effect on taste flavor or purity All better brands of prepared baby foods come to you packed in glass In anchor glass containers protected by anchor vacuum cat both products of anchor Hawking The most famous name in glass I Suppose they've let that little guy tie an out of jail now Yes, that's a bird out the captain Logan gave him a long talk about the electric chair.
