Yes. Yeah, but to me a random harvest and smile here press attache to the governor of Hong Kong You probably never heard of the incident managed to hush it up at the time But now it can safely be told and should I believe there's a warning to the free world It began at the Hong Kong Airport I was very welcome a rather important member of her Majesty's loyal opposition who was on a fact-finding junket to the more distant outposts of our one-time empire However, the first passenger of the plane was not the member from upper cuts world But the little man in one of those dreadful Hawaiian shirts As soon as he saw the group of native reporters He started Then a couple coming down then she'll be glad to pose for any individual shots now Which one of you guys is hybrid Smith? It's harbors and smile and I am he bad to meet you smelly I'm Joey Finn mid sent me mammoth studio.

All right boys got everything you need fine Well, Smitty, what is the program? You got the program what you got laid on press conference reception for the governor within your hands Well, suppose we begin with first things first. Yeah, like what meeting miss Mayhew. Oh sure.

I just love Gentlemen, I give you miss Celestine Mayhew of the American cinema I think it's so heavenly of you to meet me. I just love Hong Kong. It's just heavenly I do believe it's my favorite city in the whole wide world I can't wait to try some real chops silly the way you prepare it in Hong Kong Oh I'm sorry, would you repeat that question, please? It's no question chop suey. No belong Hong Kong Chop suey belong in Chicago. Oh, Chinese make it a chop suey chop suey for Melecone, of course it isn't we love it. We are so grateful to China for it. It's so heavenly Okay, honey leave them while they're laughing Okay, Joey, and it now are there any further questions Hong Kong replace call give humble time to lady point of view Yeah, yeah, well smithy these airport arrival shots will do for a starter, but they're pretty squares though Squares bill. Yeah, we want to get some leg art with local color like Celestine sitting in the lap of one of them I did Joey Sheer genius. I'm a I'm afraid the Chinese might take rather a dim view in another thing Do you know whether the Sultan of Tekkong jima is in town? But what a Celestine's very big in Tekkong jima the Sultan's a number one fan. Oh Yes, I'm very large with the Sultan He's got a friend of every one of my movies and he runs him over and over Isn't that heavenly? He writes to me all the time and I send him all my pin-up pictures. I see. Did he ever send you his picture? No, no wonder. He's as wide as he is high more than 300 pounds and only five feet tall With his dimensions and Celestine's what coverage why a shot at him shaking hands would push everything off the front page When can you set it up smithy mr. Finn? Tekkong jima is an island nearly a thousand miles south of here and the Sultan is its absolute mark With all due respect in this bay who I doubt if he would come running up here for a Visited picture. Well, it didn't had to print some a knock on any and whatever grace Kelly's got Celestine's got more of her Oh Joe you say the nicest thing wait a minute. I got a better idea Look at limey battleship out in the harbor. We'll shoot a lay out of Celestine with all them sailors There's no yarn Yummy and clean cut, you know hands across the sea stuff English-speaking cousins get together jazz, you know No, no, I don't know. I don't think the world may be my salad chum salad All you got to do is point out the publicity value with Celestine may you in the picture I can get the British Navy on the cover of life What I love about you joy is you think big got too honey or you wind up in no where as well Mr. Finn it is my duty to warn you that such a course of action might have most embarrassing consequences. You mean no can do Yes, I suppose that's what I mean America's traffic accident rate is tragically high and unnecessarily so what makes the problem so difficult to deal with our emotions With so many people bring into play when they sit behind the wheel Scientific studies show that most of our accidents are caused when drivers give way to childish impulses The driver who insists on going when the traffic light says stop is behaving like a spoiled child So is the fellow who thinks he's too important to obey the legal speed limit So is the woman who forgets to signal other drivers when she's making a turn to be inconsiderate of others on the highway However, it's more than near bad manners. It's tempting fate When you get behind the wheel of your car, remember that you're an adult drive with patience drive with courtesy drive with care Safety conscious drivers get where they're going just as fast as reckless drivers do and more important. They arrive alive If you plan to live to a ripe old age act your age wherever you drive and now Starring Miss Marie Wilson act to of star over Hong Kong The rest of the afternoon is taken up with a dreary task of welcoming the empty from upper cuts for but I must say my heart Was not in it and as soon as I could I broke away from the governor's reception and hurried to miss me Who's hotel to see if I could be of any further service to her? Yeah, I was surprised and deeply concerned to find the poor girl in tears Oh What am I gonna do? What am I going to do? Why whatever is the matter this measure? It's Joey. He's in jail in jail. What for? I don't know Well, I mean one isn't incarcerated for nothing. What what did he do? Nothing. We just went for a boat ride a boat ride Yes, joy hired one of these cute little Chinese boats He told the man to take us out to that big battleship in the harbor. Oh Only they wouldn't let us on the boat Actually and while Joey was arguing with the sailor at the gang plank a lot of other sailors started crowding along the deck rail Naturally, they waved at me and whistled. They were so cute So I'll wave back naturally and Joey took some pictures of me waving at them and them waving at me And that's when they arrested him. Oh, mr. Smiles What am I gonna do? Here I am all alone in Hong Kong You're you're you're not alone my dear miss me, you know I'm here. I don't know what I'd do if you weren't Mr. Smiles Why why don't you call me? Randolph cute Randolph Thank you Celestine my close friends call me silly silly But it's short for Celestine the old silly that's right, Randy. Yes well Yeah, but we must try to get mr. Finn out of jail. Oh, yes poor Joey He's simply got to be back here by seven o'clock. Well, I am not sure that I can have him released that soon But who's gonna take me to the party what party the man who owns all the big movie theaters here in Hong Kong He's giving you dinner in my honor. I just can't go alone. Of course you can't I have it what an idea now if I'm unable to procure mr. Finn's release by seven o'clock Would you permit me to escort you? Oh? Randy I was hoping you'd say that It'll be just heavenly And my heart wasn't really in getting mr. Finn released but I went through the motions confident that the port security officer would be reluctant to let him go He was my wights. Mr. Smiles. I should hold your responsible for this mess me captain. Why are you all the press attache these types of your Responsibility however, and he's ours now. Well, what are you holding him for violation official secrets act?

Smiles at least may who is your problem? But it yes, isn't it? Well, I've done what I could perhaps I could do more tomorrow, but right now I was late for my engagement with the Celestial Celestine and I hurried home to change. I was just putting the last stud in my dress shirt when the phone rang Harborson smiley oh Hello, silly I'm just leaving Chinese gentleman called for me.

Celestine this is a man who called for you. What was his name Celestine? Celestine home of the theater owner there was a party there All right, the guests were chatting and sipping cocktails and the air was filled with the fragrance of women's perfume without a trace There was only one thing wrong the guest of honor Celestine may who had not yet arrived and I had a terrible suspicion that you never would When acid indigestion slows you down get relief quickly safely effectively Settle the upset fast with a modern and acid that goes everywhere with you Do you know about the little white Just a waitin for the moment when you need them to bring your acid indigestion under control Tom's are the little white In the little green Keep them handy in the pocket roll Keep your tummy under No acid rebound with modern in Tom's yet Tom's 10 cents Three roll pack a quarter or the new Tom's six roll pack with free metal carrier 49 cents and now Starring Miss Marie Wilson act three of star over Hong Kong I drove it once to the port security office, but the captain wasn't there Nor was he at home or at his club Well at last I located him by phone at the home of the theater owner where he had gone presumably to investigate Celestine may you at close Hand won't your business wait until morning? No, I don't think so captain. You've got a kidnapping on your hand. It's a common crime in the Orient Not when the victim is Celestine may you own answer She's due here any minute, but she'll never arrive She was lured from her hotel by a man named one fat something or other not as the name mean anything to you Oh, I have to consult my file That's up the top of your head. Do you know any one fat? We executed him for murder a few months past. That's the wrong one Sounds like an unlikely aspect. Oh, she said it was a cute name just before the line was cut. You can sit up one fat She might what about him slippery customer. We've been watching for him some time We've never been able to take him into custody. Why is he under surveillance always have reason to believe that his real occupations? Wait a minute when we're including the island of Teck Kong jima. Yes. Yes I believe he claims to be sort of personal representative of the Sultan of Teck Kong jima. That's our man Wait, wait, where can we find? Will these go down on the dark Queen's Fair? Well, let's get cracking and I'll meet you there. All right, oh boy I got to the dock first the place was deserted But at the end of the pier was a big junk and on its foredeck was a pile of luggage that I had seen before that Celestine Mayhew was luggage Now the sound line had already been slipped and the Cooley was casting off the bar line I leapt on to the after deck and an instant later a huge Chinese leapt on to me Rest for silence for a while When I came to the first thing I saw was the pork capping slapping handcuffs on the last of the sailors and the next thing I saw was Celestine Mayhew and she appeared to be quite upset. I Really think you owe me an explanation Randolph Mr. Wong has just been heavenly to me all evening and it was just about to take me for a moonlight boat ride When you had to go and spoil everything that would have been quite a boat ride Celestine What do you mean? Well, no doubt you've been too busy to notice the cargo on the foredeck What are you talking about your luggage and my guess is that your moonlight boat ride was a trip to Teck Kong jima Why did you go and stop it? It sounds like a heavenly trip one way Did the Sultan ever mention his wife when he wrote to you? Wow, yes wives 34 of them last time they were counted and our wager quite a few of them were provided this way by Mr. Wong Well, one you wish to make a statement now or must be force one from you later It is as the brash one says Sultan Teck Kong jima a good friend a long time, you know like 34 wives You only want this lady soon so don't have a birthday. I bring him lady for birthday present Charming far Birthday present for a Sultan far really it's just heavenly Well, we managed to get Celestine checked back into her hotel in a good condition And I bet her good night promising to meet her for lunch the next day But when I arrived she had checked out again And no one could or would tell me where she'd gone so once more I went to the port captain now There's nothing to get excited about mr. Spide this place. He was quite all right. I saw her off adorn myself. Oh, where where where to Singapore? Heavens though. We should not want to embarrass another of a magic to possessions Oh, no, I went to the trouble of laying on a Royal Air Force bomber Which will take them non-stop to go on I felt it better for all concern that they should return to and remain on American soil they Is mr. Finn with us indeed he is What about the spy charge you were holding him on? Oh, there are sometimes higher considerations, mr. Smiley Such as world peace I don't understand now supposing one fat toy successfully spirited Miss Mayhew to the Sultanatek Kong jima Do you think for a moment the American government was submit to such an indignity for who know The American 7th people have become involved and inevitably certain units of the British Navy and what with the state of the world today Who knows where the affair would have ended? Yes, yes, I see between me and I haven't looked at it quite that way mr. Pity you didn't I tell you smile that girl was the fuse that could have ignited the powder cake of Asia Oh, I dare say Still I should have liked to have had an evening of her company Oh, so what a little boy would say would I but there are times in peace as well as in war When means make sacrifices above and beyond the call of beauty suspense In which Marie Wilson starred in Star over Hong Kong written produced and directed by William and Robson in a moment and names of the support Players and a word about next week's story of suspense Each week night over CBS radio the men behind two of the most familiar voices in the land Edward R.
