The Case of the Unhappy Homicide.
The Adventures of the Saints, starring Vincent Price.
The Saints, based on characters created by Leslie Charterman, and known to millions from books, magazines, and motion pictures. The Robin Hood of modern crime now comes to radio, starring Hollywood's brilliant and talented actor Vincent Price as... The Saints.
Waiter. Yes, Monsieur? Waiter, will you tell the chef of this unhappy restaurant that he'd make a better shoemaker? Monsieur...
What evidence suggests Mr. Potts may not be guilty?
Look at this miserable concoction. It's called a salad. Don't butt me. But, monsieur, I have something to tell you. Yes? Someone is waiting for you at another table. Well, get back to him at once. Warn him against eating anything in this establishment. Tell him his life is in danger. Mr. Spencer, there is something strange about the gentleman. I think he has a gun in his pocket. Aha. More severe critic of food than I am. Well, tell the chef he'd better flee for his life. Do you wish to see him?
How does Simon investigate the murder scene?
The chef? No, he'll have to look out for himself. Not the chef, monsieur. The little man, please. He's little, isn't he? Yes, sir. I'll go see him. How do you do? You wish to see me? Mr. Templer, my name is Potts.
How do you do?
I need help. I'm the senior partner of Potts and Carter, Jewelers Extraordinary. Extraordinary.
Earlier this evening, Mr. Carter was killed.
What twists and turns arise during Simon's investigation?
Too bad.
Mr. Templer, it wasn't an accident. Oh? He was murdered.
Oh, I see. And the police are picking you for queen of the man. And you want me to prove you didn't murder Carter? Oh, no, Mr. Tender. No? No. I want you to prove I did. It's no use, Mr. Templer. I did kill Carter. Well, why wouldn't the police believe you? Because they couldn't find the cause.
How does the truth about the murder unfold?
There's usually one around after a murder, you know.
Somebody stole this one.
Dealing causes is a rather restricted profession. Where did you kill your partner? In our establishment on Wilshire Boulevard. Oh, that's a nice place for it. When? Earlier this evening. And then you phoned the police from the shop?
No, I... I couldn't bear the sight of Carter's body. I walked over to a nearby hotel and made my call from there.
And then?
I returned to the shop. I didn't go into the back.
Where the shooting had taken place?
What is the resolution of the case and its implications?
Yes. I waited for the police. They arrived. I told them what had happened and led them into the back. But when you got there, the cupboard was there. Yes, Mr. Templer. No one had heard the shot? No. You see, it's a business neighborhood. It's an evening. That's understandable. May I ask you a question, Mr. Carter? Of course. Are you tired of living? Right. Oh, you mean, why am I so anxious to have the police leave me? Yes. Because I shot Carter in self-defense.
