[00:00:41] Unknown:
Hasselbert,
[00:00:42] Unknown:
what on earth's going on over there? Oh, that's Grace. I can't get her away from that piano.
[00:00:49] Unknown:
Tell her to let Herman play.
[00:00:51] Unknown:
Oh, Grace. That's enough. Thanks.
[00:00:56] Unknown:
Besides, this is the famous noise abatement break. Well, it may be famous, Casey, but it's not as famous as my favorite line. Anchor Hawking is the most famous name in glass. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is Tony Marvin. Every week at this time, the Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation of Lancaster, Ohio and its more than 10,000 employees bring you another adventure of Casey crime photographer, ace cameraman who covers the crime news of the great city, written by Alonzo Dean Cole. Our adventure for tonight, King of the Eight.
Mid afternoon, the Blue Note Cafe, leaning comfortably on the bar are Casey and Anne Williams. And behind the bar, it's chief custodian, Ethelbert.
[00:02:11] Unknown:
You and miss Williams are going to the circus tonight,
[00:02:15] Unknown:
Yeah. We gotta go, pal. It's an assignment.
[00:02:18] Unknown:
Every year, Ethelbert, he found an excuse to go to a circus. You you think I'd like to go to the circus, honey? Well, if you don't, you'd better reserve yourself a chair in the old men's home.
[00:02:29] Unknown:
She's right, Casey. Any guy who can enjoy the circus is slipping and fast.
[00:02:35] Unknown:
I love the clowns and the elephants. I still like the brass bands and peanuts and popcorn. I go for the lady bareback riders and the lady acrobats and the lady That's enough. Well, I just wanted to establish that I'm not slipping, Annie. I'm simply matured. That's all.
[00:02:53] Unknown:
What kind of assignment you two got at the big show? Principally, we're covering the feature act. King of the eight. They say that swell.
[00:03:01] Unknown:
According to pictures on the billboards, that fella, the king,
[00:03:05] Unknown:
keeps 20 or 30 giant gorillas under his complete control. Now circus posters, to rate a little bit, Apple bird. The 20 or 30 giant gorillas are really six orangutans.
[00:03:16] Unknown:
And their trainer isn't the king. His name is king, Charles king. Oh,
[00:03:23] Unknown:
but an orangutan is a pretty big monkey.
[00:03:26] Unknown:
Big enough. The full grown male can break a couple of Joe Louis' in two. Then I guess six orangutans
[00:03:33] Unknown:
are plenty for a guy to go into a cage alone with. I'd say so.
[00:03:37] Unknown:
Well, we better get over the circus, Danny. It's nearly time for our date. Uh-huh. Yeah. I thought you said you were going to the circus tonight. We're interviewing mister King after the matinee performance. We're seeing the show tonight. Oh, well, so long, pal. So long, Ethelbert. Have a good time, and,
[00:03:52] Unknown:
don't let them lock you up in the monkey cage.
[00:03:55] Unknown:
Not to you, pal. So long.
[00:03:58] Unknown:
So long, Casey. And not to you.
[00:04:09] Unknown:
King's dressing room is this way, Annie. The afternoon show is still going on. Casey, let's speak to those back, Curtis. Oh, no. No. Look. We'll see the whole thing come out front tonight, Annie. Besides, that's the wind up you hear now, the grand finale.
[00:04:21] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. I guess it is. Oh, look. The clowns are coming through the ring all my swaths. Oh, I've seen clowns before. We've got a date anyway. Just a minute, Casey. Oh, okay.
[00:04:38] Unknown:
Nice looking, performers coming through the curtains now. That that one in the black spangled pipes has got beautiful eyes.
[00:04:46] Unknown:
We'll find mister King. No. I'm in no hurry, Annie. He's got a date.
[00:04:51] Unknown:
Oh. Oh.
[00:04:53] Unknown:
Okay. Alright. There. There it is. That's the star dressing Room there. Well, give a nod. Oh, wait a minute. There's several star dressing rooms.
[00:05:00] Unknown:
Here's the one with the king's name on it. Why don't you dare call me that? I'll call your words and I catch you with that binder Penelope again. You better not, you big sloopers.
[00:05:07] Unknown:
You're logging in inside that room, K. B? Oh, King. I'm set up with your jealousy. If I feel like talking to a man, any man, I'm good. I'm not gonna speak up in corners with Neli again. Brian, stop me. I don't Don't you put your hands on me. Time to break this up, Andy. That Knox should do it. Who who who's that?
[00:05:24] Unknown:
Miss Williams and Casey in the morning express. If you're mister King, your press agent made a date for us to see you. Oh. Oh. Yes. Yes. Of course. Yeah. Just a moment. Alright. I ended the battle case, sir.
[00:05:36] Unknown:
Please, please come in. Oh, thank you. Mister Williams and mister Casey, you said? That's right. I'm Charles King. Nice to know both of you. Nice to know you. Mister King. I,
[00:05:46] Unknown:
allow me to present to my wife, mister King. If you do. If you'll excuse me, I'll be running along. Wait, Bernice.
[00:05:52] Unknown:
Yeah? Miss ladies and gentlemen are going to do a feature story about the act. Don't you want to stay in the No act, Charlie. They don't want to
[00:05:59] Unknown:
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 mister Casey. Shalom. Shalom.
[00:06:08] Unknown:
My wife is always on the go as you Americans say. You partner, I'm sure. Certainly. I am very grateful for this visit. For this city is the lifeblood of show business. Perhaps I better take you downstairs to the animal room with the three of us and my orangutans can get acquainted all at the same time. Alright. I sense that's what you wish. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. Come on. Then we'll walk down that ramp to the animal room.
[00:06:33] Unknown:
Careful, Annie.
[00:06:34] Unknown:
Bernice.
[00:06:35] Unknown:
What? I thought you were going shopping. I am. I just stopped to talk a minute with mister Fanelli. Hello, Charlie. Hello, Fanelli.
[00:06:43] Unknown:
You better get your shopping done, Bernie. Okay.
[00:06:46] Unknown:
See you later, Luigi.
[00:06:47] Unknown:
Sure, Bert. Missus King. Miss Williams, if your mister case will excuse me, I want a word with that, ma'am. Yes. Of course. Yeah. Go ahead. Thanks. Just a moment, Fanelli.
[00:06:55] Unknown:
This, seems to be the old triangle business. How?
[00:06:59] Unknown:
That, Fanelli is good looking. Yeah. So is missus King. They're both young, sir.
[00:07:04] Unknown:
King must be 50. Oh, easy.
[00:07:07] Unknown:
I mean, he looks like a tough guy to tangle with. He seems to be quietly laying down a little law to mister Fanelli over there.
[00:07:14] Unknown:
Thanks for waiting for me. Not at all. It's alright. Here's the ramp. The cage of my beast sounds far from the bottom.
[00:07:21] Unknown:
Hey. That guy you were talking with had on tights, mister King. What is he? An acrobat? He's a wire walker. Oh.
[00:07:26] Unknown:
Do you good people know very much about Orangutan? Practically nothing. We've seen a couple in the zoos. Then perhaps you'd like to have a little basic information for your story, miss Williams. Yes. I would. But the Orangutan is found only in Borneo and Samatha. In size, he is the second of the great apes ranking next to the gorilla. In intelligence, though some place a chimpanzee in a higher category, I rank the orangutan first. Those are my animals in those two cages. Katie, we've never seen an orangutan like that big fellow at the zoo. That's nimble boy. He's a full grown male. He stood upright, which he seldom does, he'd be five feet seven inches tall, and he tipped the scale at, twenty two stone, about three hundred pounds. Why do you keep him alone in that case? Is he vicious? No. I am keeping Nimbu separate temporarily because he he hasn't been very well. I'm quite worried about him. Without Nimbu, I wouldn't have the same act and quickly I'm fond of the old fellow.
[00:08:23] Unknown:
Seems pretty fond of you. Casey, you see him reach out at hand to mister King like a big child? Yeah.
[00:08:30] Unknown:
I let him take my hand and put his other long arm around my neck. I wouldn't want him that close to me, brother. I wouldn't dare to make this familiarity from the one in the next stage. Oh, he doesn't like you, Oh, he doesn't like anybody. Fear of Nimbu is the only thing that keeps Dillinger in his place. Dillinger? Yes. I I call him that because he's a public enemy, miss Williams. Hello, boss. Oh, hello, Joe. I was beginning to wonder where you were. I was out getting some fresh medicine for Nimbu. You know, I never want these animals left alone. Where's Tyrone?
[00:09:00] Unknown:
He have probably gone for a drink. That man is no good. Yes. I know that, but he knows big ape. Because he is a little ape himself.
[00:09:09] Unknown:
Whether you should send him back to Borneo where we got him. I'll have another talk with Tyrone. Oh, excuse me, miss mister Gates. Here, this is Johannes Fleet, my chief assistant. Mister Fleet? Hi. Your aunt knows as much more more about orangutans as I do. He was born in Dutch Borneo and talks their language. I talk Dutch and English,
[00:09:29] Unknown:
not ape talk.
[00:09:31] Unknown:
That is for men like that Tyon. Tyon. Tyon, my second assistant. He's a dyak. Oh. A Borneo tribesman. You can write a few colorful lines about him, miss Williams. It's feeding time. I go get fruit for your age. He's a he's a character, Casey. Yeah. I heard what you said, miss Williams. Joanne Phillip is, well, it isn't easy to find men who can properly care for orangutans, and he knows the beast. Same applies to Tayon who is, as you Americans might say, another stinker.
[00:10:04] Unknown:
Hey, Batman.
[00:10:05] Unknown:
Oh, there he is. Joe says you were left to watch those animals, Tayon. Orangutan
[00:10:10] Unknown:
not go away when locking kids. Tayon get the first or or get drink. You're always getting a drink and I'd like to And if we try and don't be more good, you you send him back chuk chuk quick to burn you. You don't for do that boss man. You need Ryan.
[00:10:30] Unknown:
Alright.
[00:10:31] Unknown:
Here's a fresh bottle of medicine. Give him some. Okay, boss man. First, I tell him I gonna do him good. He's
[00:10:42] Unknown:
He's chattering to that big ape. And he and the ape answers. Well, I'm gonna get some pictures because this is terrific. Science seems to really talk ape language, miss Williams. The darks believe orangutans have a language and some men learn it. That ought to be a good shot. Here comes Fliet. I'll get one of him feeding him. It was fun.
[00:10:59] Unknown:
Nimbu, he 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. Jack's never so good without Nimble Joe. Never will it be so good if Nimble die.
[00:11:14] Unknown:
The two of you are right, sir. 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.
[00:11:41] Unknown:
Children of all ages, the biggest show in the world is proud to present the most daring,
[00:12:05] Unknown:
the cage came from here. Most
[00:12:07] Unknown:
dangerously intelligent animals known to man are Rangutans.
[00:12:12] Unknown:
Well, that nimble sure looks dangerous and wise than me. I'm gonna come over here.
[00:12:18] Unknown:
One man dares to enter the cave alone and unarmed and to bend them to his superior will. Ladies and gentlemen, the outstanding, unexpelled, star attraction of the Texas
[00:12:42] Unknown:
Boy, that was some buildup, wasn't it? Mister Ringmaster did you with a few superlatives.
[00:12:48] Unknown:
Mister King looks nice in that jungle explorer's outfit, doesn't he? Yeah. His wife isn't half bad in her shorts. She is not in the cave. Oh, she's just outside over on the left there, ain't he? You see.
[00:13:03] Unknown:
Look. They're letting me eat from the ring cage now from those wagons.
[00:13:07] Unknown:
Yeah. That that Joe Fleer, the superintendent that you have. I I don't see Tyen. Oh, he's around somewhere, I imagine.
[00:13:15] Unknown:
Dylan just coming into the cage now. Oh, he's a mean looking animal. I'm sorry we're not gonna see Nimbu do his stuff. He's a real star of this action. No. And King depends on him. He told me he doesn't have to carry that big whip in the ring with him when Nimbo's there. Yeah. He's the baller. Look. The big mugs are gonna ride those price because look at that. I mean, you know, that's I, thought you didn't care for circumcision.
[00:13:37] Unknown:
Oh, well, it's part of my job to come here and take pictures. That's all.
[00:13:43] Unknown:
What was that? Funny cry, wasn't it? Animal or something, I guess. It came to those big apes to stop riding in that car. Yeah. King kinda gets me to start again. Seemed to be listening.
[00:13:55] Unknown:
There it goes again. Hey. Look at Dillinger.
[00:14:00] Unknown:
Hey. Grabbed mister King.
[00:14:02] Unknown:
He's killing me. He's got him on the throat, Annie. Annie, I'm gonna shoot some pictures of this. That cry we heard, Annie. I've got a hunch this wasn't any
[00:14:17] Unknown:

[00:15:34] Unknown:
Mister King of the Apes was buried this morning. Katie? I tried, Edselbert. Yeah. Miss Williams and I just came from his funeral. I suppose the circus folks gave him a big send off. They did?
[00:15:46] Unknown:
The funeral was a circus in itself, complete with brass band. And missus King gave a fine center ring performance.
[00:15:54] Unknown:
What do you mean? When she put on a big act, Ethelberg, she shed crocodile tears all over the place. And we think she cared about as much for her husband as I care for, well, a 1940
[00:16:03] Unknown:
model spring hat. Was that Wire Walker Fanelli there who you think is her boyfriend? No. He didn't come to the funeral. Neither did Tay Ann. Tay Ann's the other fellow who was King's assistant. Yeah. The Dyac 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?
[00:16:26] Unknown:
King was crushed to death by that big orangutan, Dillinger. After he and the other apes in the ring had shown a marked reaction to the peculiar animal cries that everybody heard. Miss Williams and I had seen and heard Tyen talking to Nimbu that afternoon, and a lot of the circus people believe really believe that he has a special way of communicating with apes. And fantastic
[00:16:51] Unknown:
as it may seem, Ethelbert,
[00:16:53] Unknown:
those cries made by Tyen could have instructed Dillinger to turn on his master. That isn't fantastic at all, Annie. Not a bit. Dogs, horses, and lots of animals instinctively react to certain sounds, don't they? Oh, sure. It ain't hard to teach a pooch to sick them. Well, that's right. He wasn't seen by anybody when them cries were heard, was he? Tyen, I mean. According to his story, he'd had a few drinks too many and was sleeping him off in the animal speed room. Another thing, Ethelbert. An expert from the zoo has examined Nimbu, and he says the big ape wasn't naturally sick. He'd been dope. Nimbu was the boss monk, and he liked King. He had to be taken out of the act before Haiyan 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 in the book, says what do they call it? Accident incident to a hazardous profession, and that's that. And we can't even hint at our suspicions in the paper, Ethelbert, without letting the express in for a libel suit. Yeah. But in my book, high end caused the death of Charles King, and I think missus King put them up to her. She's now free to play around with Fanelli. And missus King owns the act since her husband's death. I'm sure that she, Fanelli, and Tayen were together in this thing, and I I Excuse me. There's the part Go ahead, pal. Go ahead. Hello. Blue Note Cafe. Edselberg
[00:18:13] Unknown:
speaking. Yeah. Just a minute. Your city added the case. Oh, give me. Here.
[00:18:18] Unknown:
Hello, Burke. Yeah. Yes. 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, Casey? Fanelli has been murdered. Fanelli? And Tay Ann has been arrested for the killing. Case. Annie, this doesn't add up. It just doesn't add up at all.
[00:18:50] Unknown:
How was Finelli killed, captain Morgan? The same way Marie Antoinette was. His head was cut off. Oh, holy. The lethal instrument in this case was a curved razor edged Diac knife. It's been identified as belonging to that Borneo native, Tian, 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. Yeah. But why should he have killed Fanelli though, Well, the guy is only one generation out of the jungle and he was drunk. That's two reasons. Yeah. Wait a minute, though, Logan. Tyen had just landed himself a sweet job. He'd become the big shot in a big feature act owned by missus King.
[00:19:31] Unknown:
Oh, why should he pitch his big chance away in his life besides by killing our boyfriend? That doesn't add up. Look.
[00:19:37] Unknown:
This Tyen is a semi savage from Borneo. He was lit to the skylight. Well The murder weapon belonged to him and we found it beside him. Now, Casey, take your little camera in 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.
[00:19:57] Unknown:
Wise guy, Logan. He's right about Ty Anne, Casey. Is he? Of course he is. We're seeing a nice example of poetic justice. Missus King has Ty Anne arrange her husband's death so she can have Finelli. And then Ty Anne 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. She has no one who can work those apes.
[00:20:22] Unknown:
Wait a minute. Yes. She has. Johannes Flea. Say I'd forgotten about him. Yeah. So would I, almost Annie, from the first we've been wrong about this whole setup. Can't you see it, Annie Flea is the guy. Why? Well, because he he knows more about big apes than King does. I think Johannes Flee it doped Nimbu and gave that cry that caused Dillinger to kill King. And then when Tyen was put in King's place, Flea pulled a second murder and framed Tyen for it. But where do we go from here? Well, we oh, I don't know. That's the help. Oh, wait a minute, Annie. Give me a chance. I think you're with alright.
You'll go to Bernice King.
[00:21:03] Unknown:
Mrs. King?
[00:21:05] Unknown:
Yes. Benelli's death puts her in a clear. Flee, it's been the whole works and she can help us get the goods on him. How? Come on. We're gonna pay her a call, Annie. And on the way, we'll pick up that wise guy, Logan.
[00:21:24] Unknown:
I think you're right, mister Casey. Thanks. You're more reasonably sold than I am, missus King. I think he's altogether wrong. You would, Logan. 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, mister Casey. You think I was in love with Luigi Fanelli? I wasn't. If I looked twice at any man, he'd begin to spy on me, question me. But Fanelli, I was deliberately trying to pay him off for the unhappiness and jealousy it caused me. Miss Williams, another woman would realize how I felt what I was doing. Oh, I do realize, missus King. No, Charlie. Carney.
If I can only bring him back, he could be jealous. He can beat me anything. We're very sorry, missus Kate. I won't cry anymore. What do you want me to do, mister Casey? Well, first,
[00:22:15] Unknown:
I want you to give Dillinger some of the same harmless dope we think was fed to Nimble. So Flea will think that he's sick and will have to stay with him tonight. I don't get it, Tracy. No. Neither do I. There's more than one way to trip up a murderer. Now tonight, missus King, you will go to the animal room and talk with Flea. Logan and I will be hidden behind the cages. Now here's what I want you to take.
[00:22:52] Unknown:
There she comes. Welcome. Yeah. I see her.
[00:22:55] Unknown:
Mhmm. Love it. Clear.
[00:23:00] Unknown:
What are you doing here so late, missus King?
[00:23:03] Unknown:
I've come to talk to you, Joe.
[00:23:06] Unknown:
About Dillinger? Well, if you are worried about that orangutang,
[00:23:12] Unknown:
I'm taking good care of him. I'm sure you are. You figure he and all my other orangues belong to you now, and you've become king of the eight.
[00:23:22] Unknown:
That's right. You can't work them in the ring.
[00:23:26] Unknown:
I imagine you expect an increase in pay.
[00:23:30] Unknown:
I wasn't going to rush you on this, missus 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 10% of the net.
[00:23:44] Unknown:
You want 90%,
[00:23:46] Unknown:
But is that not fair enough for an indispensable
[00:23:49] Unknown:
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 some things I know. What do you mean? I know who really killed Fanelli and my husband. Oh, you know that, missus King? I was here last night when Fanelli was killed. I saw something.
[00:24:15] Unknown:
If you was here last night and saw something, why didn't you tell the corpse? I got a better idea.
[00:24:23] Unknown:
I'm a businesswoman, Joe. It occurred to me that you'd work very cheap in order to escape the electric chair.
[00:24:31] Unknown:
Missus King, you did a very foolish thing in coming here tonight.
[00:24:36] Unknown:
Why?
[00:24:37] Unknown:
The police will think you was worried about poor sick Dillinger. He was foolish enough to enter his cage while
[00:24:46] Unknown:
I was out of the room. What are you talking about? I am putting you in his cage. Dillinger will do the rest as he did for your husband. Let me go. Oh, no. As I kill your husband, as I kill Penelope. Now I kill you. That's all, Logan. Take him up, please. Oh, cupp. Take him up and let go of that woman. Oh, so this was all the strength. Let go of mister King. I do. And I do it, Joe. Oh, no. Cupp to get me, you got to shoot through this woman. But I got it done too. Captain Logan, he's holding. You can't get out of here, please. Hook. I got my gun at this woman's back. If I do not go free, she dies. You kill me, captain. Got it, Logan. All of you, head over by the wall. Alright. Now, missus King, we go. You'll never get away with this.
I'll take my chances on that. Now walk in front of me, out these cages, and slow, missus King.
[00:25:37] Unknown:
I will.
[00:25:42] Unknown:
That's big age, gentlemen. That's rude. Got too close to that case. Come on. Help me pull him away from that ranch, please. Alright.
[00:25:49] Unknown:
Wait. He's he's dropped it. Look. His neck is broken. He's dead. Dimple.
[00:25:57] Unknown:
He saved my life.
[00:25:59] Unknown:
Take it easy, mister Jean. You're safe now. I guess Annie was right. I guess there is poetic justice.
[00:26:18] Unknown:

I suppose they've let that little guy, Tyen, out of jail now, miss Williams?
[00:27:55] Unknown:
Yes, Esselbert. After captain Logan gave him a long talk about the electric chair he'd been so close to.
[00:28:01] Unknown:
Yeah. It made such an impression on Tyen that he took the pledge never to drink again.
[00:28:06] Unknown:
And he'll be back in the act as king of the apes tonight. And, Casey and I are going to the circus again tonight to watch him work with Nimbu.
[00:28:15] Unknown:
Hey. As a matter of fact, the performance will start in half an hour, Randy. We better get over there. The Apex don't go on too late, does it? Almost at the end of the show, Ethelbert. But you're gonna see the whole show again? That's Casey's idea. Well, there's a lady acrobat I wanna look at again, Anne. She has beautiful eyes.

Hasselbert,
[00:00:42] Unknown:
what on earth's going on over there? Oh, that's Grace. I can't get her away from that piano.
[00:00:49] Unknown:
Tell her to let Herman play.
[00:00:51] Unknown:
Oh, Grace. That's enough. Thanks.
[00:00:56] Unknown:
Besides, this is the famous noise abatement break. Well, it may be famous, Casey, but it's not as famous as my favorite line. Anchor Hawking is the most famous name in glass. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is Tony Marvin. Every week at this time, the Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation of Lancaster, Ohio and its more than 10,000 employees bring you another adventure of Casey crime photographer, ace cameraman who covers the crime news of the great city, written by Alonzo Dean Cole. Our adventure for tonight, King of the Eight.
Mid afternoon, the Blue Note Cafe, leaning comfortably on the bar are Casey and Anne Williams. And behind the bar, it's chief custodian, Ethelbert.
[00:02:11] Unknown:
You and miss Williams are going to the circus tonight,
[00:02:15] Unknown:
Yeah. We gotta go, pal. It's an assignment.
[00:02:18] Unknown:
Every year, Ethelbert, he found an excuse to go to a circus. You you think I'd like to go to the circus, honey? Well, if you don't, you'd better reserve yourself a chair in the old men's home.
[00:02:29] Unknown:
She's right, Casey. Any guy who can enjoy the circus is slipping and fast.
[00:02:35] Unknown:
I love the clowns and the elephants. I still like the brass bands and peanuts and popcorn. I go for the lady bareback riders and the lady acrobats and the lady That's enough. Well, I just wanted to establish that I'm not slipping, Annie. I'm simply matured. That's all.
[00:02:53] Unknown:
What kind of assignment you two got at the big show? Principally, we're covering the feature act. King of the eight. They say that swell.
[00:03:01] Unknown:
According to pictures on the billboards, that fella, the king,
[00:03:05] Unknown:
keeps 20 or 30 giant gorillas under his complete control. Now circus posters, to rate a little bit, Apple bird. The 20 or 30 giant gorillas are really six orangutans.
[00:03:16] Unknown:
And their trainer isn't the king. His name is king, Charles king. Oh,
[00:03:23] Unknown:
but an orangutan is a pretty big monkey.
[00:03:26] Unknown:
Big enough. The full grown male can break a couple of Joe Louis' in two. Then I guess six orangutans
[00:03:33] Unknown:
are plenty for a guy to go into a cage alone with. I'd say so.
[00:03:37] Unknown:
Well, we better get over the circus, Danny. It's nearly time for our date. Uh-huh. Yeah. I thought you said you were going to the circus tonight. We're interviewing mister King after the matinee performance. We're seeing the show tonight. Oh, well, so long, pal. So long, Ethelbert. Have a good time, and,
[00:03:52] Unknown:
don't let them lock you up in the monkey cage.
[00:03:55] Unknown:
Not to you, pal. So long.
[00:03:58] Unknown:
So long, Casey. And not to you.
[00:04:09] Unknown:
King's dressing room is this way, Annie. The afternoon show is still going on. Casey, let's speak to those back, Curtis. Oh, no. No. Look. We'll see the whole thing come out front tonight, Annie. Besides, that's the wind up you hear now, the grand finale.
[00:04:21] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. I guess it is. Oh, look. The clowns are coming through the ring all my swaths. Oh, I've seen clowns before. We've got a date anyway. Just a minute, Casey. Oh, okay.
[00:04:38] Unknown:
Nice looking, performers coming through the curtains now. That that one in the black spangled pipes has got beautiful eyes.
[00:04:46] Unknown:
We'll find mister King. No. I'm in no hurry, Annie. He's got a date.
[00:04:51] Unknown:
Oh. Oh.
[00:04:53] Unknown:
Okay. Alright. There. There it is. That's the star dressing Room there. Well, give a nod. Oh, wait a minute. There's several star dressing rooms.
[00:05:00] Unknown:
Here's the one with the king's name on it. Why don't you dare call me that? I'll call your words and I catch you with that binder Penelope again. You better not, you big sloopers.
[00:05:07] Unknown:
You're logging in inside that room, K. B? Oh, King. I'm set up with your jealousy. If I feel like talking to a man, any man, I'm good. I'm not gonna speak up in corners with Neli again. Brian, stop me. I don't Don't you put your hands on me. Time to break this up, Andy. That Knox should do it. Who who who's that?
[00:05:24] Unknown:
Miss Williams and Casey in the morning express. If you're mister King, your press agent made a date for us to see you. Oh. Oh. Yes. Yes. Of course. Yeah. Just a moment. Alright. I ended the battle case, sir.
[00:05:36] Unknown:
Please, please come in. Oh, thank you. Mister Williams and mister Casey, you said? That's right. I'm Charles King. Nice to know both of you. Nice to know you. Mister King. I,
[00:05:46] Unknown:
allow me to present to my wife, mister King. If you do. If you'll excuse me, I'll be running along. Wait, Bernice.
[00:05:52] Unknown:
Yeah? Miss ladies and gentlemen are going to do a feature story about the act. Don't you want to stay in the No act, Charlie. They don't want to
[00:05:59] Unknown:
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 mister Casey. Shalom. Shalom.
[00:06:08] Unknown:
My wife is always on the go as you Americans say. You partner, I'm sure. Certainly. I am very grateful for this visit. For this city is the lifeblood of show business. Perhaps I better take you downstairs to the animal room with the three of us and my orangutans can get acquainted all at the same time. Alright. I sense that's what you wish. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. Come on. Then we'll walk down that ramp to the animal room.
[00:06:33] Unknown:
Careful, Annie.
[00:06:34] Unknown:
Bernice.
[00:06:35] Unknown:
What? I thought you were going shopping. I am. I just stopped to talk a minute with mister Fanelli. Hello, Charlie. Hello, Fanelli.
[00:06:43] Unknown:
You better get your shopping done, Bernie. Okay.
[00:06:46] Unknown:
See you later, Luigi.
[00:06:47] Unknown:
Sure, Bert. Missus King. Miss Williams, if your mister case will excuse me, I want a word with that, ma'am. Yes. Of course. Yeah. Go ahead. Thanks. Just a moment, Fanelli.
[00:06:55] Unknown:
This, seems to be the old triangle business. How?
[00:06:59] Unknown:
That, Fanelli is good looking. Yeah. So is missus King. They're both young, sir.
[00:07:04] Unknown:
King must be 50. Oh, easy.
[00:07:07] Unknown:
I mean, he looks like a tough guy to tangle with. He seems to be quietly laying down a little law to mister Fanelli over there.
[00:07:14] Unknown:
Thanks for waiting for me. Not at all. It's alright. Here's the ramp. The cage of my beast sounds far from the bottom.
[00:07:21] Unknown:
Hey. That guy you were talking with had on tights, mister King. What is he? An acrobat? He's a wire walker. Oh.
[00:07:26] Unknown:
Do you good people know very much about Orangutan? Practically nothing. We've seen a couple in the zoos. Then perhaps you'd like to have a little basic information for your story, miss Williams. Yes. I would. But the Orangutan is found only in Borneo and Samatha. In size, he is the second of the great apes ranking next to the gorilla. In intelligence, though some place a chimpanzee in a higher category, I rank the orangutan first. Those are my animals in those two cages. Katie, we've never seen an orangutan like that big fellow at the zoo. That's nimble boy. He's a full grown male. He stood upright, which he seldom does, he'd be five feet seven inches tall, and he tipped the scale at, twenty two stone, about three hundred pounds. Why do you keep him alone in that case? Is he vicious? No. I am keeping Nimbu separate temporarily because he he hasn't been very well. I'm quite worried about him. Without Nimbu, I wouldn't have the same act and quickly I'm fond of the old fellow.
[00:08:23] Unknown:
Seems pretty fond of you. Casey, you see him reach out at hand to mister King like a big child? Yeah.
[00:08:30] Unknown:
I let him take my hand and put his other long arm around my neck. I wouldn't want him that close to me, brother. I wouldn't dare to make this familiarity from the one in the next stage. Oh, he doesn't like you, Oh, he doesn't like anybody. Fear of Nimbu is the only thing that keeps Dillinger in his place. Dillinger? Yes. I I call him that because he's a public enemy, miss Williams. Hello, boss. Oh, hello, Joe. I was beginning to wonder where you were. I was out getting some fresh medicine for Nimbu. You know, I never want these animals left alone. Where's Tyrone?
[00:09:00] Unknown:
He have probably gone for a drink. That man is no good. Yes. I know that, but he knows big ape. Because he is a little ape himself.
[00:09:09] Unknown:
Whether you should send him back to Borneo where we got him. I'll have another talk with Tyrone. Oh, excuse me, miss mister Gates. Here, this is Johannes Fleet, my chief assistant. Mister Fleet? Hi. Your aunt knows as much more more about orangutans as I do. He was born in Dutch Borneo and talks their language. I talk Dutch and English,
[00:09:29] Unknown:
not ape talk.
[00:09:31] Unknown:
That is for men like that Tyon. Tyon. Tyon, my second assistant. He's a dyak. Oh. A Borneo tribesman. You can write a few colorful lines about him, miss Williams. It's feeding time. I go get fruit for your age. He's a he's a character, Casey. Yeah. I heard what you said, miss Williams. Joanne Phillip is, well, it isn't easy to find men who can properly care for orangutans, and he knows the beast. Same applies to Tayon who is, as you Americans might say, another stinker.
[00:10:04] Unknown:
Hey, Batman.
[00:10:05] Unknown:
Oh, there he is. Joe says you were left to watch those animals, Tayon. Orangutan
[00:10:10] Unknown:
not go away when locking kids. Tayon get the first or or get drink. You're always getting a drink and I'd like to And if we try and don't be more good, you you send him back chuk chuk quick to burn you. You don't for do that boss man. You need Ryan.
[00:10:30] Unknown:
Alright.
[00:10:31] Unknown:
Here's a fresh bottle of medicine. Give him some. Okay, boss man. First, I tell him I gonna do him good. He's
[00:10:42] Unknown:
He's chattering to that big ape. And he and the ape answers. Well, I'm gonna get some pictures because this is terrific. Science seems to really talk ape language, miss Williams. The darks believe orangutans have a language and some men learn it. That ought to be a good shot. Here comes Fliet. I'll get one of him feeding him. It was fun.
[00:10:59] Unknown:
Nimbu, he 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. Jack's never so good without Nimble Joe. Never will it be so good if Nimble die.
[00:11:14] Unknown:
The two of you are right, sir. 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.
[00:11:41] Unknown:
Children of all ages, the biggest show in the world is proud to present the most daring,
[00:12:05] Unknown:
the cage came from here. Most
[00:12:07] Unknown:
dangerously intelligent animals known to man are Rangutans.
[00:12:12] Unknown:
Well, that nimble sure looks dangerous and wise than me. I'm gonna come over here.
[00:12:18] Unknown:
One man dares to enter the cave alone and unarmed and to bend them to his superior will. Ladies and gentlemen, the outstanding, unexpelled, star attraction of the Texas
[00:12:42] Unknown:
Boy, that was some buildup, wasn't it? Mister Ringmaster did you with a few superlatives.
[00:12:48] Unknown:
Mister King looks nice in that jungle explorer's outfit, doesn't he? Yeah. His wife isn't half bad in her shorts. She is not in the cave. Oh, she's just outside over on the left there, ain't he? You see.
[00:13:03] Unknown:
Look. They're letting me eat from the ring cage now from those wagons.
[00:13:07] Unknown:
Yeah. That that Joe Fleer, the superintendent that you have. I I don't see Tyen. Oh, he's around somewhere, I imagine.
[00:13:15] Unknown:
Dylan just coming into the cage now. Oh, he's a mean looking animal. I'm sorry we're not gonna see Nimbu do his stuff. He's a real star of this action. No. And King depends on him. He told me he doesn't have to carry that big whip in the ring with him when Nimbo's there. Yeah. He's the baller. Look. The big mugs are gonna ride those price because look at that. I mean, you know, that's I, thought you didn't care for circumcision.
[00:13:37] Unknown:
Oh, well, it's part of my job to come here and take pictures. That's all.
[00:13:43] Unknown:
What was that? Funny cry, wasn't it? Animal or something, I guess. It came to those big apes to stop riding in that car. Yeah. King kinda gets me to start again. Seemed to be listening.
[00:13:55] Unknown:
There it goes again. Hey. Look at Dillinger.
[00:14:00] Unknown:
Hey. Grabbed mister King.
[00:14:02] Unknown:
He's killing me. He's got him on the throat, Annie. Annie, I'm gonna shoot some pictures of this. That cry we heard, Annie. I've got a hunch this wasn't any
[00:14:17] Unknown:

[00:15:34] Unknown:
Mister King of the Apes was buried this morning. Katie? I tried, Edselbert. Yeah. Miss Williams and I just came from his funeral. I suppose the circus folks gave him a big send off. They did?
[00:15:46] Unknown:
The funeral was a circus in itself, complete with brass band. And missus King gave a fine center ring performance.
[00:15:54] Unknown:
What do you mean? When she put on a big act, Ethelberg, she shed crocodile tears all over the place. And we think she cared about as much for her husband as I care for, well, a 1940
[00:16:03] Unknown:
model spring hat. Was that Wire Walker Fanelli there who you think is her boyfriend? No. He didn't come to the funeral. Neither did Tay Ann. Tay Ann's the other fellow who was King's assistant. Yeah. The Dyac 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?
[00:16:26] Unknown:
King was crushed to death by that big orangutan, Dillinger. After he and the other apes in the ring had shown a marked reaction to the peculiar animal cries that everybody heard. Miss Williams and I had seen and heard Tyen talking to Nimbu that afternoon, and a lot of the circus people believe really believe that he has a special way of communicating with apes. And fantastic
[00:16:51] Unknown:
as it may seem, Ethelbert,
[00:16:53] Unknown:
those cries made by Tyen could have instructed Dillinger to turn on his master. That isn't fantastic at all, Annie. Not a bit. Dogs, horses, and lots of animals instinctively react to certain sounds, don't they? Oh, sure. It ain't hard to teach a pooch to sick them. Well, that's right. He wasn't seen by anybody when them cries were heard, was he? Tyen, I mean. According to his story, he'd had a few drinks too many and was sleeping him off in the animal speed room. Another thing, Ethelbert. An expert from the zoo has examined Nimbu, and he says the big ape wasn't naturally sick. He'd been dope. Nimbu was the boss monk, and he liked King. He had to be taken out of the act before Haiyan 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 in the book, says what do they call it? Accident incident to a hazardous profession, and that's that. And we can't even hint at our suspicions in the paper, Ethelbert, without letting the express in for a libel suit. Yeah. But in my book, high end caused the death of Charles King, and I think missus King put them up to her. She's now free to play around with Fanelli. And missus King owns the act since her husband's death. I'm sure that she, Fanelli, and Tayen were together in this thing, and I I Excuse me. There's the part Go ahead, pal. Go ahead. Hello. Blue Note Cafe. Edselberg
[00:18:13] Unknown:
speaking. Yeah. Just a minute. Your city added the case. Oh, give me. Here.
[00:18:18] Unknown:
Hello, Burke. Yeah. Yes. 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, Casey? Fanelli has been murdered. Fanelli? And Tay Ann has been arrested for the killing. Case. Annie, this doesn't add up. It just doesn't add up at all.
[00:18:50] Unknown:
How was Finelli killed, captain Morgan? The same way Marie Antoinette was. His head was cut off. Oh, holy. The lethal instrument in this case was a curved razor edged Diac knife. It's been identified as belonging to that Borneo native, Tian, 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. Yeah. But why should he have killed Fanelli though, Well, the guy is only one generation out of the jungle and he was drunk. That's two reasons. Yeah. Wait a minute, though, Logan. Tyen had just landed himself a sweet job. He'd become the big shot in a big feature act owned by missus King.
[00:19:31] Unknown:
Oh, why should he pitch his big chance away in his life besides by killing our boyfriend? That doesn't add up. Look.
[00:19:37] Unknown:
This Tyen is a semi savage from Borneo. He was lit to the skylight. Well The murder weapon belonged to him and we found it beside him. Now, Casey, take your little camera in 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.
[00:19:57] Unknown:
Wise guy, Logan. He's right about Ty Anne, Casey. Is he? Of course he is. We're seeing a nice example of poetic justice. Missus King has Ty Anne arrange her husband's death so she can have Finelli. And then Ty Anne 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. She has no one who can work those apes.
[00:20:22] Unknown:
Wait a minute. Yes. She has. Johannes Flea. Say I'd forgotten about him. Yeah. So would I, almost Annie, from the first we've been wrong about this whole setup. Can't you see it, Annie Flea is the guy. Why? Well, because he he knows more about big apes than King does. I think Johannes Flee it doped Nimbu and gave that cry that caused Dillinger to kill King. And then when Tyen was put in King's place, Flea pulled a second murder and framed Tyen for it. But where do we go from here? Well, we oh, I don't know. That's the help. Oh, wait a minute, Annie. Give me a chance. I think you're with alright.
You'll go to Bernice King.
[00:21:03] Unknown:
Mrs. King?
[00:21:05] Unknown:
Yes. Benelli's death puts her in a clear. Flee, it's been the whole works and she can help us get the goods on him. How? Come on. We're gonna pay her a call, Annie. And on the way, we'll pick up that wise guy, Logan.
[00:21:24] Unknown:
I think you're right, mister Casey. Thanks. You're more reasonably sold than I am, missus King. I think he's altogether wrong. You would, Logan. 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, mister Casey. You think I was in love with Luigi Fanelli? I wasn't. If I looked twice at any man, he'd begin to spy on me, question me. But Fanelli, I was deliberately trying to pay him off for the unhappiness and jealousy it caused me. Miss Williams, another woman would realize how I felt what I was doing. Oh, I do realize, missus King. No, Charlie. Carney.
If I can only bring him back, he could be jealous. He can beat me anything. We're very sorry, missus Kate. I won't cry anymore. What do you want me to do, mister Casey? Well, first,
[00:22:15] Unknown:
I want you to give Dillinger some of the same harmless dope we think was fed to Nimble. So Flea will think that he's sick and will have to stay with him tonight. I don't get it, Tracy. No. Neither do I. There's more than one way to trip up a murderer. Now tonight, missus King, you will go to the animal room and talk with Flea. Logan and I will be hidden behind the cages. Now here's what I want you to take.
[00:22:52] Unknown:
There she comes. Welcome. Yeah. I see her.
[00:22:55] Unknown:
Mhmm. Love it. Clear.
[00:23:00] Unknown:
What are you doing here so late, missus King?
[00:23:03] Unknown:
I've come to talk to you, Joe.
[00:23:06] Unknown:
About Dillinger? Well, if you are worried about that orangutang,
[00:23:12] Unknown:
I'm taking good care of him. I'm sure you are. You figure he and all my other orangues belong to you now, and you've become king of the eight.
[00:23:22] Unknown:
That's right. You can't work them in the ring.
[00:23:26] Unknown:
I imagine you expect an increase in pay.
[00:23:30] Unknown:
I wasn't going to rush you on this, missus 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 10% of the net.
[00:23:44] Unknown:
You want 90%,
[00:23:46] Unknown:
But is that not fair enough for an indispensable
[00:23:49] Unknown:
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 some things I know. What do you mean? I know who really killed Fanelli and my husband. Oh, you know that, missus King? I was here last night when Fanelli was killed. I saw something.
[00:24:15] Unknown:
If you was here last night and saw something, why didn't you tell the corpse? I got a better idea.
[00:24:23] Unknown:
I'm a businesswoman, Joe. It occurred to me that you'd work very cheap in order to escape the electric chair.
[00:24:31] Unknown:
Missus King, you did a very foolish thing in coming here tonight.
[00:24:36] Unknown:
Why?
[00:24:37] Unknown:
The police will think you was worried about poor sick Dillinger. He was foolish enough to enter his cage while
[00:24:46] Unknown:
I was out of the room. What are you talking about? I am putting you in his cage. Dillinger will do the rest as he did for your husband. Let me go. Oh, no. As I kill your husband, as I kill Penelope. Now I kill you. That's all, Logan. Take him up, please. Oh, cupp. Take him up and let go of that woman. Oh, so this was all the strength. Let go of mister King. I do. And I do it, Joe. Oh, no. Cupp to get me, you got to shoot through this woman. But I got it done too. Captain Logan, he's holding. You can't get out of here, please. Hook. I got my gun at this woman's back. If I do not go free, she dies. You kill me, captain. Got it, Logan. All of you, head over by the wall. Alright. Now, missus King, we go. You'll never get away with this.
I'll take my chances on that. Now walk in front of me, out these cages, and slow, missus King.
[00:25:37] Unknown:
I will.
[00:25:42] Unknown:
That's big age, gentlemen. That's rude. Got too close to that case. Come on. Help me pull him away from that ranch, please. Alright.
[00:25:49] Unknown:
Wait. He's he's dropped it. Look. His neck is broken. He's dead. Dimple.
[00:25:57] Unknown:
He saved my life.
[00:25:59] Unknown:
Take it easy, mister Jean. You're safe now. I 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 Hocking. 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 Hocking Glass Corporation will have an announcement to make of the utmost importance. 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 healthful diet.
Now these glass packed baby foods simplify the young mother's work enormously. You can heat and serve baby food in the same glass container in which you buy it and reseal 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 cap. Both products of Anker Hocking, the most famous name in glass.

I suppose they've let that little guy, Tyen, out of jail now, miss Williams?
[00:27:55] Unknown:
Yes, Esselbert. After captain Logan gave him a long talk about the electric chair he'd been so close to.
[00:28:01] Unknown:
Yeah. It made such an impression on Tyen that he took the pledge never to drink again.
[00:28:06] Unknown:
And he'll be back in the act as king of the apes tonight. And, Casey and I are going to the circus again tonight to watch him work with Nimbu.
[00:28:15] Unknown:
Hey. As a matter of fact, the performance will start in half an hour, Randy. We better get over there. The Apex don't go on too late, does it? Almost at the end of the show, Ethelbert. But you're gonna see the whole show again? That's Casey's idea. Well, there's a lady acrobat I wanna look at again, Anne. She has beautiful eyes.
