In this thrilling episode of "Crime Photographer," we delve into the mysterious case of Dan Sykes and Chris Johansen, two adventurers who return from the South American jungle with a fortune in emeralds and a haunting tale of a serpent goddess. As Casey and Miss Williams interview Sykes, they uncover a story filled with intrigue, betrayal, and supernatural elements. The duo learns about the mysterious death of a third man, Vasca, who was reportedly crushed by a snake with a human face, and the eerie drumbeats that seem to follow Sykes and Johansen, hinting at a curse that might have followed them back to the city.
The plot thickens when Johansen is found dead, seemingly squeezed to death by an unseen force, and Sykes fears he will be next. As Casey and Miss Williams investigate, they encounter Isabella Vasca, who reveals a shocking truth about her brother's fate and her own quest for vengeance. With a clever use of a rubber tube and an air compressor, Isabella avenges her brother's death, leaving Casey and the listeners questioning the line between myth and reality. This episode is a gripping tale of adventure, revenge, and the supernatural, set against the backdrop of a bustling city.

[00:00:23] Unknown:
Sydney Porter, Samuel Clemens, Charles Dodgson. Well, they're all great authors. Well, how come I never heard of them? You would if they printed their pen names. They're O'Henry, Mark Twain, and Lewis Carroll. Well, I'll be.

goddess.
[00:01:43] Unknown:
Early afternoon, around 02:00, a sumptuous suite in one of our city's finest hotels. There's a knock at the door, and a big weather beaten man opens it.
[00:01:55] Unknown:
I guess you're the newspaper folks that taught me. I'm Dan Sykes. Yeah. Thanks for giving us this appointment, mister Sykes. This is miss Williams. My name is Casey.
[00:02:02] Unknown:
I'm real pleased to meet you, miss Williams. Thank you, mister Sykes. You're a swell looking kid. Thanks again.
[00:02:09] Unknown:
Come in. Make yourself an arm. Thanks. Well,
[00:02:14] Unknown:
what can I do for you? Well, through a mix up, mister Sykes, our paper didn't didn't have anyone at the airport this morning to cover your arrival with mister Johansson. And the morning express wants to rectify its blunder now with a special interview. Mhmm. Pictures too. Take all the pictures you want and ask all the questions you want. Well, we'd like to have your partner, mister Johansson, in on this. We phoned him, but he wasn't in. Oh, Chris went out to look for a cheaper place to live. He ain't like me. I'm gonna enjoy him either.
[00:02:40] Unknown:
According to our news service reports, you and Johansson have already sold part of the emeralds you found in South America for over a million dollars. That's right. I'm a nouveau rich.
[00:02:50] Unknown:
But, we didn't sell the best ones. We brought the eyes back here to The States with us. The eyes? Well, that's what Chris and I call the two big emeralds we we found.
[00:03:00] Unknown:
Reports on how you found all those emeralds have been rather conflicting, mister Sykes. What's the real lowdown?
[00:03:05] Unknown:
Well, Chris and I were flying an old crate out of Caracas on our way to Lima when a gas line broke and we had to bail out over the jungle. While we were trying to find our way out, we come out of some ruins of an old engine town and under a stone, we accidentally knocked over, we found them at once. And that's all there was to it. There wasn't another man with you and mister Johansen?
[00:03:28] Unknown:
No. We were alone. The first story we got on you fellas was that two very sick men, one with a pocket full of emeralds, had staggered into a village at the edge of the jungle raving about a third guy they'd seen crushed to death by a big snake. A huge boa constrictor or an anaconda with, of all things, a human face.
[00:03:47] Unknown:
Naturally, yawn like that made news. One of them South American reporters dreamed up that crazy stuff. Whoever saw a snake with a human face? Excuse me. Someone at the door.
[00:03:59] Unknown:
Oh, hello, Chris. I think I find me a place to live, Sykes. What's such high
[00:04:05] Unknown:
prices? Oh, you got company. Oh, they're newspaper folks. This is Chris Johansen, miss Witt. How do you do, mister Johansen? Well, how oh, you are a pretty lady, miss Williams. And, this is, Casey. Hello, mister Casey. How are you? They've been interviewing me about our medals, Chris. I just been telling them that snake story was a lot of bunt.
[00:04:26] Unknown:
Yo. Sykes and me was alone in that jungle. Also, we are not afraid of not drums. Drums?
[00:04:34] Unknown:
One of the goofy stories they told about us was that when we come out of that jungle, we raved about hearing drum beats all the time. Oh, we was
[00:04:42] Unknown:
sick with fever, Sykes. We didn't know what we were saying. We never said anything about drums. No. We never said nothing because we had no reason to. That's right. Hey, I, I would like a drink, Sykes. I see you've got the bottle there. Help yourself. Well, what other questions you wanna ask, miss Williams? I'd I'd like to know who yourself. A drum.
[00:05:05] Unknown:
It can't be here. Oh, not in the city.
[00:05:08] Unknown:
It can't be here. What's the matter with you fellas? Nothing. Nothing.
[00:05:13] Unknown:
Oh, there's music now, Chris. Look out of this window. There's only some Salvation Army folks down there with a a bass drum and a couple of horns. Yeah.
[00:05:25] Unknown:
Just Salvation Army people with an ordinary old bass drum.
[00:05:42] Unknown:
Good night, missus Wheelbruckert. Now, Casey, what was I saying? Saying good night to missus Wheelbrecher. Oh, I don't know, Pat. You hadn't started to say anything yet. Hadn't I? No. Oh oh, I remember. You know that fellow Sykes who you and miss Williams told me about interviewing a couple of weeks ago? Mhmm. Well, he come into this bar today, and I served him a couple of drinks. I recognized him immediately from the pictures you took for your paper after the little blonde he had with him called him Dan Sykes. No. After.
[00:06:13] Unknown:
Get a little blonde along. Mhmm. Few days ago, we saw him with a big brunette. Well, and he told us he was gonna enjoy his dough, Annie. He's a awfully nervous acting guy, Casey.
[00:06:24] Unknown:
Walter happened to hit the bottom of empty wooden ice tub. He was taken down cellar, and when it went boom like a drum, I thought Sykes was gonna faint that away. Yeah. He and Johansen are certainly allergic to drum beats, aren't they? They didn't give you, no idea why? No.
[00:06:39] Unknown:
Their only explanation was an obvious phony.
[00:06:42] Unknown:
The original news report were hey. You really think there was another fellow with them in that jungle who was squeezed to death by a big snake with a human face?
[00:06:54] Unknown:
Wow. It's good reason to believe that a third man may have parachuted into the jungle with Sykes and Johansson.
[00:07:02] Unknown:
Yeah? According to inside dope, our paper can't print without risking a libel suit, Sykes and Johansson used their plane plane for smuggling jobs and has thought they specialized in smuggling people from one South American country into another. Like wanted criminals, Red Hots. Yeah. Political troublemakers. It's suspected that Sykes and Johansson were taking an exile revolution back to a country he'd been kicked out of when their plane went bad and that he's the other man they talked about when they came out of the jungle. They were both delirious from fever then, but when they recovered and knew what they were saying, they quickly changed the story. You figured they told the truth while they were delirious. Well, they couldn't help it.
[00:07:39] Unknown:
Then it must have been true about the third guy getting crushed by a big snake, but a snake with a human face.
[00:07:48] Unknown:
Yeah. Oh, we can't worry about it here any longer. Casey, we've gotta get back to the office. Yeah. Yeah. Four city desks are spagies.
[00:07:56] Unknown:
What do I owe you, pal? It's only, 60¢. Oh, only 60¢ too bad. I guess I got that much.
[00:08:02] Unknown:
Oh, excuse me. There's the bar phone. Hello? Just a second. Your city desk is paging you, Casey.
[00:08:14] Unknown:
Look at me. How's Casey? Three zero one Hawthorne Street, apartment three a. Okay. I got it, Burke. What goes there?
[00:08:25] Unknown:
Who?
[00:08:28] Unknown:
Say that again, Burke. In a city apartment? Hey. That's a story. Alright.
[00:08:36] Unknown:
You'll get right up there. Hey. What is it, Casey? You look funny.
[00:08:39] Unknown:
Chris Johansson has been found dead in his apartment. Sykes' party? Annie. He was crushed to death. Crush squeezed as though a big snake had coiled itself around it.
[00:09:04] Unknown:

[00:10:32] Unknown:
Captain Logan,
[00:10:33] Unknown:
did the medical examiner say that a, a big snake He didn't say a snake did it, miss Williams. He merely said that, well, that a python or boa constrictor were the only things he knew of that would kill in such a way. Johansen was literally squeezed to death by something big and and smooth that coiled around his entire body In this apartment. Yes, Casey. What what do you think, captain? Only that a snake big enough to do the killing didn't do the killing. That's too crazy, miss Williams. I oh, nuts, Casey. I just can't figure this one out at all. Do you know about the first news story we had on Johansen and Sykes? Yes. I think you told me about it, but, well, that fantastic yard can't have any barriers. Naturally, you're going to question Sykes. Oh, my men have orders to bring him here as soon as they can find him. Here's your sergeant now, Luke.
[00:11:20] Unknown:
Oh, maybe now we'll get the lowdown.
[00:11:23] Unknown:
You found Sykes at his apartment, sergeant? Yes, captain. I gave it to him cold about, Johansen's death. I thought he was gonna pass out on me, especially when I told him it looked like the job of a big snake. He kinda whispered to himself, she followed us. She followed us? Yes, sir.
[00:11:40] Unknown:
Oh, were you able to find out where he was last night when Johansen was killed? Oh, Sykes was throwing a big party in his place. His alibi is perfect. Now
[00:11:49] Unknown:
bring him in. Yes, sir.
[00:11:54] Unknown:
She followed us. That's a screwy one, Casey. Yeah. Another screwy one like his fear of drums.
[00:12:02] Unknown:
Mister Sykes, sir. Oh, I'm captain Logan, homicide bureau, mister Sykes. You already know miss Williams and mister Casey. You may see Chris. Yeah. The body's still in the next room where it was found.
[00:12:17] Unknown:
Step in.
[00:12:22] Unknown:
Take a look.
[00:12:26] Unknown:
So that's what she does to a man.
[00:12:29] Unknown:
Who is this she? Let me out of here, captain.
[00:12:33] Unknown:
I can't look anymore. Now let's go back into the other room.
[00:12:38] Unknown:
Sit down, mister Sykes, and tell us what you know about this thing.
[00:12:44] Unknown:
I may as well tell you. I know now there's no way of getting away from her. Vasco said we couldn't. Vasca?
[00:12:52] Unknown:
She got Vasca first. Now it's Chris. Soon it'll be me. You explain what you're talking about?
[00:12:59] Unknown:
Okay. There were three of us who bailed out of the plane over the jungle. Casey, he said quiet. Baskett caused a lot of political trouble in his own country, and he'd been told to stay out of it or else. They paid Chris Johansson and me a thousand bucks to fly him back there without anyone getting wiser. We'd have done it if our plane had gone wrong. But it did, and we had to jump. We were in luck, we thought, because all of us landed safe in the clearing. Then all of a sudden Sykes, what was that? Sounded like a drum, Chris. It is a drum. Oh, that's nuts, Baskin. There's nothing but animals in this part of the jungle. You saw it from the air way deep in the bush.
[00:13:51] Unknown:
Look there. Yeah.
[00:13:53] Unknown:
Guys with spears and clubs. Indians. They are all around this clearing. You got the only guns I'd shoot. No. No. Don't.
[00:14:00] Unknown:
The biggest man have laid down his spear and lift his hand in a sign of peace.
[00:14:05] Unknown:
Sigh. They're all laying down their weapons. It looks like they are coming as friends. They were friendly Indians. They took us to their village and treated us. Seems we were the first white men they'd ever run into. Isolated tribe. Vasco had called them a lost tribe, Casey. They had houses full of stone, and they acted civilized. That is outside of their religion. Their religion. They they worship snakes.
[00:14:44] Unknown:
Now go on.
[00:14:46] Unknown:
Boar constrictors were sacred to them, and they made human sacrifices to the boar. How? When any of them broke a law, they tied them up in big drums. After a while, a big snake could slide out of the jungle and well, I saw it done, but it didn't warn you. Let's have the rest of it. The top medicine man, the head priest of the tribe had a good looking daughter who fell for me high. She had a bracelet of emblems. White. After I picked up a little of her language, she told me where there were bigger, finer emblems. I told Chris and Vasco what she'd said, so one night, three of us started out.
We, must be getting close to the place she told you about, Sykes. Yeah. As I get it from her, Chris, we'll find a long stone building quickly hidden by jungle grove. I'll hold your torch high, I'd ask. Alright.
[00:15:51] Unknown:
I do not like this business, Sykes. You gonna start that again? If they catch us before we can escape,
[00:15:57] Unknown:
well, you have seen what happened to men who break their laws. They're not gonna get me squealed by any big snake, not while I have a gun.
[00:16:06] Unknown:
Listen. Don't strum.
[00:16:08] Unknown:
I hear. They are calling the big snake for the sacrifice tonight. Yeah. That's why I picked tonight to come here. The whole village or the attendant of ceremony? You are sure nobody guards that temple where we go to? The girl says it's guarded only by the spirits.
[00:16:23] Unknown:
They won't bother us. We shall be robbing their temple. Look.
[00:16:27] Unknown:
There is the long stone building. That's the place. We can walk right in. Sure. And take what we want. Come on. It's so dark in there, and these torches give so little light. They'll give it up. The emeralds aren't back on a statue you said. Yeah. Come
[00:16:48] Unknown:
on. Sykes, I see. Hold it. A snake.
[00:16:51] Unknown:
A big snake. Ron, get down. Oh, Chris, you've all it's the statue.
[00:16:56] Unknown:
The statue? Yes, Chris. Heart of stone with a human face. Look.
[00:17:01] Unknown:
I see now. It is a woman's face. And its eyes are umbrells. The biggest I've ever seen. And that emerald necklace. We'll be millionaires, Chris. They're all millionaires. I'll climb up and get them.
[00:17:16] Unknown:
What's that? The drum.
[00:17:19] Unknown:
It started when you touched the snake statue. Maybe it's a warning.
[00:17:26] Unknown:
Fuck. Hand me a knife, Chris. Phew. I'll be quick, Sykes. You are going to do what I came to do, Baskin. Cut off this necklace and pry out their mineral eyes. After I've pried the emerald eyes out, the three of us beat it fast. But when we slept, we dreamed of drums and that big statue of the serpent goddess, the snake of the woman's face. And sometimes deep in the jungle, we'd hear drums or think we heard them. Vazquez kept saying we'd never get away with what we'd done. He wanted his cut just like the rest of us. We kept on chopping our way through the tangled bush, hoping we'd finally get out of that jungle.
One day when we laid down.
[00:18:22] Unknown:
There is no reason, Sykes, why you do not divide those emeralds now instead of waiting. I told you. Chris and I have ordered no. We're two to one. Yes.
[00:18:31] Unknown:
Two to one. And every day we get closer to the edge of the camp. Cut it out, Rasker. Rasker. We ain't going to do nothing to you. Not a thing.
[00:18:41] Unknown:
It's your turn to scare up some grubs. Suppose you get out. Why will you never lend me your pistol, Sykes? Use your knife. I told you. I'm a good shot and I don't waste bullets and I'm saving the few I've got left. For what? For emergencies, of course.
[00:18:56] Unknown:
I see.
[00:18:57] Unknown:
I'll get going. I'm hungry.
[00:19:00] Unknown:
I go.
[00:19:01] Unknown:
Listen. To what?
[00:19:04] Unknown:
I don't hear nothing but birds. I hear drums.
[00:19:08] Unknown:
I don't hear any drums. You don't hear them now?
[00:19:13] Unknown:
No. There are no drum sounds.
[00:19:16] Unknown:
Maybe maybe I hear them because I will be the first of us to pay for robbing the serpent goddess. I go to hunt for food.
[00:19:30] Unknown:
Guys drive a mean nuts, Chris. Me too. Besides you,
[00:19:35] Unknown:
you didn't hear no drum. Oh,
[00:19:38] Unknown:
I'm I'm sure. Did you? I do not think so. I'm not always sure. He said maybe he heard him because
[00:19:47] Unknown:
he'd be the first of us to Sykes. Spasco. Hey. Is snake happy? Snake? Come away, Sykes. Run. Away, Chris. Away. We didn't try to help him. We know it'd be no use. We were afraid. Just left the guy to die. Yes, Casey. All we did was run until we dropped and couldn't run anymore. Then the fever got I woke up in a village where where the news reporters came, and, well, Chris and I denied the true things we'd said while the fever was in our heads because I can guess why you denied this story.
[00:20:35] Unknown:
Now she's followed us. She's paid off, Chris. And I'm next.
[00:20:54] Unknown:
I didn't see nothing in the paper today about the Johansen killing Casey. Ain't captain Logan gonna arrest Sykes? What for? His alibi was a %.
[00:21:03] Unknown:
Everybody confessed to stealing their memories. In another country, pal, from jungle Indians. Oh. There is one thing, Ethelbert, but it doesn't look very promising. What is it, miss Williams? Well, Logan's turned up a witness who says he saw Johansson let a woman into his apartment about a half hour before he was killed. A woman? Yeah. Described as a small brunette and carrying a small leather traveling case.
[00:21:24] Unknown:
A little skinny girl couldn't squeeze a big guy to death. No. You think Sykes will be bumped off like Johansson was in in that basket? No. He seems to think so.
[00:21:36] Unknown:
That's funny. That guy's trying to pack a month of life into every hour because he figures every hour will be his last. Hey, Annie. What do you say? Let's, let's drop off at his new apartment on our way home. Maybe we can cheer him up a little. Okay, Scout. If you must do a good deed. Well, it's a selfish good deed. I'd like to hear Sykes talk some more about that guy, Vasca.
[00:22:07] Unknown:
Oh, there's a parking spot, Casey, in back of that old Ford Cooper. That's for us. Somebody put a bad debt in the fender of that jalopy. Sure. I'll say. Oh, Sykes certainly got himself a swanky place to live when he moved out of that hotel. Whole First Floor of these new garden apartments. Yep. You know what? I'll get you out of the car. Okay.
[00:22:24] Unknown:
There's a light behind those Venetian blinds for the guys at home, anyway. Let's go in. I am sorry. Excuse me. In case, Sister, but what's your hurry?
[00:22:34] Unknown:
She is in a hurry.
[00:22:35] Unknown:
Almost knocked you over and gets into that old Ford, knocked you over. Some case of hers almost cracked my shin. She came out of Sykes' door. Sick Annie. She was a small, pretty brunette So? With a traveling case. Casey. She and her Ford are out of sight. Hey. Look. Let's get into Sykes' apartment quick. Okay. Yeah. Hey. Hey. She didn't close the door tight. Not with ceremony and the bell. I'll open it myself.
[00:22:58] Unknown:
Sykes is lying on the floor. Just like Johansson. Hey. Is he dead?
[00:23:03] Unknown:
He's dead alright. Oh, Casey. I think he's been squeezed to death. Just like Johansen. The serpent goddess. But that little brunette, she couldn't have crushed him. I don't see how a gal's answering the same description or What'd you just pick up? The valve cap off a tire. I wonder how that got you. A tire cap? Well, that won't help Annie. Hey. It's plenty help. Annie, pick up that phone and get your story into the paper. Yeah. I'm getting Logan at headquarters to tell him to locate an old Ford coupe with a dented rear fender.
[00:23:40] Unknown:
That's the car, Logan. I'm sure of it. Oh, garage guy here says that Ford belongs to a miss Isabella Vazquez. Is Isabella Vazquez?
[00:24:02] Unknown:
Yes.
[00:24:03] Unknown:
I'm captain Logan, homicide bureau. Where? Remember me, miss Vazquez?
[00:24:08] Unknown:
It wasn't smart to use that dented car for a getaway after you murdered Sykes.
[00:24:15] Unknown:
I did not try to be careful or smart after my work was accomplished. I I am very tired. Please take me to jail. You admit the killing of Sykes. I proudly admit it for I am Pedro Vazquez's sister.
[00:24:30] Unknown:
So that's the connection.
[00:24:32] Unknown:
Where is your brother, miss Vazquez? He never really believed he was killed by any human faced boar constrictor.
[00:24:38] Unknown:
He wasn't. He got out of the jungle, and he wrote me a letter.
[00:24:43] Unknown:
Tell me about it.
[00:24:45] Unknown:
My brother was sure those men, Sykes and Johansson, intended to kill him. So when he called to them that the serpent goddess had him in her coils, it was a trick. He knew they would run away away quick and leave him as I did. Then alone, he made his way to a village at the edge of the jungle where he write to me of everything that has happened
[00:25:06] Unknown:
and asked me to avenge him. How did you do the job in such a fancy way, miss Vazquez? How did you crush those men to death? I know how she did that, Logan. You know this. I think so.
[00:25:17] Unknown:
Oh,
[00:25:18] Unknown:
first, I wanna know why she did it. Why didn't your brother do his own avenging, miss Vazquez?
[00:25:24] Unknown:
Because when he wrote me that letter, he was dying. Just before he reached that village at the edge of the jungle, his body was broken in the coils of a big snake.
[00:25:47] Unknown:
We'll join the crowd of the Blue Note in just a moment. Very seldom do you hear a commercial announcement as important as the one we have for you tonight. It's about a brand new kind of dinnerware, a product of anchor glass. Its name is jadeite, j a d e I t e, jadeite. It looks and feels like rare Chinese porcelain, and it's as sturdy and heatproof as the fire king oven glass you use in your oven, and its cost is unbelievably low. Now for instance, a beautiful jadeite cup and saucer cost only 15¢. In fact, this revolutionary new jadeite costs less than half as much as the very cheapest dinnerware on the market. Now you can buy jadeite items separately or a complete dinner service for six for less than $5.
Now the demand for jadeite is enormous. To avoid disappointment, go to the nearest chain store, department store, or other store selling China ware or glass tomorrow and ask for jadeite by name. Jadeite, j a d e I t e, is the newest triumph of anchor Hawking. The most famous name in glass.
[00:27:08] Unknown:
K. Tell me how a little woman like that miss Vazquez was able to kill them two big guys like she did, Casey, and how did you know? Oh, that valve cap I found was a tip-off, Ethelbert. That and the suitcase she carried.
[00:27:21] Unknown:
And that suitcase contained a long thick rubber tube
[00:27:25] Unknown:
and a portable electric air compressor pump. And Isabella Vazquez is a pretty woman, Ethelbert. Both Sykes and Johansson were wolves. She let them pick her up and take her to their apartments, and then she tapped them on the head with a well padded blackjack that left no mark and wrapped the big tube around them and inflated it with the electric pump. You know, if a doctor ever used one of those blood pressure gadgets on your arm, pal, you know how air can squeeze
[00:27:49] Unknown:
because the doctor only uses a small bulb to pump it in a small tube. Gee. It was as simple as all that. Mhmm.
[00:27:57] Unknown:
Well, all this certainly wrecks the notion that that serpent goddess was paying off them three for stealing her emeralds.
[00:28:06] Unknown:
Does it count?
[00:28:10] Unknown:
Think about it, Ethelbert.
[00:28:13] Unknown:
Gee. Gee.

The Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation brings you crime photographer.
[00:00:16] Unknown:
What's puzzling you, Ethelbert? One of those quizzes. And it says here, what are these men famous for?
[00:00:23] Unknown:
Sydney Porter, Samuel Clemens, Charles Dodgson. Well, they're all great authors. Well, how come I never heard of them? You would if they printed their pen names. They're O'Henry, Mark Twain, and Lewis Carroll. Well, I'll be.

[00:01:26] Unknown:
goddess.
[00:01:43] Unknown:
Early afternoon, around 02:00, a sumptuous suite in one of our city's finest hotels. There's a knock at the door, and a big weather beaten man opens it.
[00:01:55] Unknown:
I guess you're the newspaper folks that taught me. I'm Dan Sykes. Yeah. Thanks for giving us this appointment, mister Sykes. This is miss Williams. My name is Casey.
[00:02:02] Unknown:
I'm real pleased to meet you, miss Williams. Thank you, mister Sykes. You're a swell looking kid. Thanks again.
[00:02:09] Unknown:
Come in. Make yourself an arm. Thanks. Well,
[00:02:14] Unknown:
what can I do for you? Well, through a mix up, mister Sykes, our paper didn't didn't have anyone at the airport this morning to cover your arrival with mister Johansson. And the morning express wants to rectify its blunder now with a special interview. Mhmm. Pictures too. Take all the pictures you want and ask all the questions you want. Well, we'd like to have your partner, mister Johansson, in on this. We phoned him, but he wasn't in. Oh, Chris went out to look for a cheaper place to live. He ain't like me. I'm gonna enjoy him either.
[00:02:40] Unknown:
According to our news service reports, you and Johansson have already sold part of the emeralds you found in South America for over a million dollars. That's right. I'm a nouveau rich.
[00:02:50] Unknown:
But, we didn't sell the best ones. We brought the eyes back here to The States with us. The eyes? Well, that's what Chris and I call the two big emeralds we we found.
[00:03:00] Unknown:
Reports on how you found all those emeralds have been rather conflicting, mister Sykes. What's the real lowdown?
[00:03:05] Unknown:
Well, Chris and I were flying an old crate out of Caracas on our way to Lima when a gas line broke and we had to bail out over the jungle. While we were trying to find our way out, we come out of some ruins of an old engine town and under a stone, we accidentally knocked over, we found them at once. And that's all there was to it. There wasn't another man with you and mister Johansen?
[00:03:28] Unknown:
No. We were alone. The first story we got on you fellas was that two very sick men, one with a pocket full of emeralds, had staggered into a village at the edge of the jungle raving about a third guy they'd seen crushed to death by a big snake. A huge boa constrictor or an anaconda with, of all things, a human face.
[00:03:47] Unknown:
Naturally, yawn like that made news. One of them South American reporters dreamed up that crazy stuff. Whoever saw a snake with a human face? Excuse me. Someone at the door.
[00:03:59] Unknown:
Oh, hello, Chris. I think I find me a place to live, Sykes. What's such high
[00:04:05] Unknown:
prices? Oh, you got company. Oh, they're newspaper folks. This is Chris Johansen, miss Witt. How do you do, mister Johansen? Well, how oh, you are a pretty lady, miss Williams. And, this is, Casey. Hello, mister Casey. How are you? They've been interviewing me about our medals, Chris. I just been telling them that snake story was a lot of bunt.
[00:04:26] Unknown:
Yo. Sykes and me was alone in that jungle. Also, we are not afraid of not drums. Drums?
[00:04:34] Unknown:
One of the goofy stories they told about us was that when we come out of that jungle, we raved about hearing drum beats all the time. Oh, we was
[00:04:42] Unknown:
sick with fever, Sykes. We didn't know what we were saying. We never said anything about drums. No. We never said nothing because we had no reason to. That's right. Hey, I, I would like a drink, Sykes. I see you've got the bottle there. Help yourself. Well, what other questions you wanna ask, miss Williams? I'd I'd like to know who yourself. A drum.
[00:05:05] Unknown:
It can't be here. Oh, not in the city.
[00:05:08] Unknown:
It can't be here. What's the matter with you fellas? Nothing. Nothing.
[00:05:13] Unknown:
Oh, there's music now, Chris. Look out of this window. There's only some Salvation Army folks down there with a a bass drum and a couple of horns. Yeah.
[00:05:25] Unknown:
Just Salvation Army people with an ordinary old bass drum.
[00:05:42] Unknown:
Good night, missus Wheelbruckert. Now, Casey, what was I saying? Saying good night to missus Wheelbrecher. Oh, I don't know, Pat. You hadn't started to say anything yet. Hadn't I? No. Oh oh, I remember. You know that fellow Sykes who you and miss Williams told me about interviewing a couple of weeks ago? Mhmm. Well, he come into this bar today, and I served him a couple of drinks. I recognized him immediately from the pictures you took for your paper after the little blonde he had with him called him Dan Sykes. No. After.
[00:06:13] Unknown:
Get a little blonde along. Mhmm. Few days ago, we saw him with a big brunette. Well, and he told us he was gonna enjoy his dough, Annie. He's a awfully nervous acting guy, Casey.
[00:06:24] Unknown:
Walter happened to hit the bottom of empty wooden ice tub. He was taken down cellar, and when it went boom like a drum, I thought Sykes was gonna faint that away. Yeah. He and Johansen are certainly allergic to drum beats, aren't they? They didn't give you, no idea why? No.
[00:06:39] Unknown:
Their only explanation was an obvious phony.
[00:06:42] Unknown:
The original news report were hey. You really think there was another fellow with them in that jungle who was squeezed to death by a big snake with a human face?
[00:06:54] Unknown:
Wow. It's good reason to believe that a third man may have parachuted into the jungle with Sykes and Johansson.
[00:07:02] Unknown:
Yeah? According to inside dope, our paper can't print without risking a libel suit, Sykes and Johansson used their plane plane for smuggling jobs and has thought they specialized in smuggling people from one South American country into another. Like wanted criminals, Red Hots. Yeah. Political troublemakers. It's suspected that Sykes and Johansson were taking an exile revolution back to a country he'd been kicked out of when their plane went bad and that he's the other man they talked about when they came out of the jungle. They were both delirious from fever then, but when they recovered and knew what they were saying, they quickly changed the story. You figured they told the truth while they were delirious. Well, they couldn't help it.
[00:07:39] Unknown:
Then it must have been true about the third guy getting crushed by a big snake, but a snake with a human face.
[00:07:48] Unknown:
Yeah. Oh, we can't worry about it here any longer. Casey, we've gotta get back to the office. Yeah. Yeah. Four city desks are spagies.
[00:07:56] Unknown:
What do I owe you, pal? It's only, 60¢. Oh, only 60¢ too bad. I guess I got that much.
[00:08:02] Unknown:
Oh, excuse me. There's the bar phone. Hello? Just a second. Your city desk is paging you, Casey.
[00:08:14] Unknown:
Look at me. How's Casey? Three zero one Hawthorne Street, apartment three a. Okay. I got it, Burke. What goes there?
[00:08:25] Unknown:
Who?
[00:08:28] Unknown:
Say that again, Burke. In a city apartment? Hey. That's a story. Alright.
[00:08:36] Unknown:
You'll get right up there. Hey. What is it, Casey? You look funny.
[00:08:39] Unknown:
Chris Johansson has been found dead in his apartment. Sykes' party? Annie. He was crushed to death. Crush squeezed as though a big snake had coiled itself around it.
[00:09:04] Unknown:

[00:10:32] Unknown:
Captain Logan,
[00:10:33] Unknown:
did the medical examiner say that a, a big snake He didn't say a snake did it, miss Williams. He merely said that, well, that a python or boa constrictor were the only things he knew of that would kill in such a way. Johansen was literally squeezed to death by something big and and smooth that coiled around his entire body In this apartment. Yes, Casey. What what do you think, captain? Only that a snake big enough to do the killing didn't do the killing. That's too crazy, miss Williams. I oh, nuts, Casey. I just can't figure this one out at all. Do you know about the first news story we had on Johansen and Sykes? Yes. I think you told me about it, but, well, that fantastic yard can't have any barriers. Naturally, you're going to question Sykes. Oh, my men have orders to bring him here as soon as they can find him. Here's your sergeant now, Luke.
[00:11:20] Unknown:
Oh, maybe now we'll get the lowdown.
[00:11:23] Unknown:
You found Sykes at his apartment, sergeant? Yes, captain. I gave it to him cold about, Johansen's death. I thought he was gonna pass out on me, especially when I told him it looked like the job of a big snake. He kinda whispered to himself, she followed us. She followed us? Yes, sir.
[00:11:40] Unknown:
Oh, were you able to find out where he was last night when Johansen was killed? Oh, Sykes was throwing a big party in his place. His alibi is perfect. Now
[00:11:49] Unknown:
bring him in. Yes, sir.
[00:11:54] Unknown:
She followed us. That's a screwy one, Casey. Yeah. Another screwy one like his fear of drums.
[00:12:02] Unknown:
Mister Sykes, sir. Oh, I'm captain Logan, homicide bureau, mister Sykes. You already know miss Williams and mister Casey. You may see Chris. Yeah. The body's still in the next room where it was found.
[00:12:17] Unknown:
Step in.
[00:12:22] Unknown:
Take a look.
[00:12:26] Unknown:
So that's what she does to a man.
[00:12:29] Unknown:
Who is this she? Let me out of here, captain.
[00:12:33] Unknown:
I can't look anymore. Now let's go back into the other room.
[00:12:38] Unknown:
Sit down, mister Sykes, and tell us what you know about this thing.
[00:12:44] Unknown:
I may as well tell you. I know now there's no way of getting away from her. Vasco said we couldn't. Vasca?
[00:12:52] Unknown:
She got Vasca first. Now it's Chris. Soon it'll be me. You explain what you're talking about?
[00:12:59] Unknown:
Okay. There were three of us who bailed out of the plane over the jungle. Casey, he said quiet. Baskett caused a lot of political trouble in his own country, and he'd been told to stay out of it or else. They paid Chris Johansson and me a thousand bucks to fly him back there without anyone getting wiser. We'd have done it if our plane had gone wrong. But it did, and we had to jump. We were in luck, we thought, because all of us landed safe in the clearing. Then all of a sudden Sykes, what was that? Sounded like a drum, Chris. It is a drum. Oh, that's nuts, Baskin. There's nothing but animals in this part of the jungle. You saw it from the air way deep in the bush.
[00:13:51] Unknown:
Look there. Yeah.
[00:13:53] Unknown:
Guys with spears and clubs. Indians. They are all around this clearing. You got the only guns I'd shoot. No. No. Don't.
[00:14:00] Unknown:
The biggest man have laid down his spear and lift his hand in a sign of peace.
[00:14:05] Unknown:
Sigh. They're all laying down their weapons. It looks like they are coming as friends. They were friendly Indians. They took us to their village and treated us. Seems we were the first white men they'd ever run into. Isolated tribe. Vasco had called them a lost tribe, Casey. They had houses full of stone, and they acted civilized. That is outside of their religion. Their religion. They they worship snakes.
[00:14:44] Unknown:
Now go on.
[00:14:46] Unknown:
Boar constrictors were sacred to them, and they made human sacrifices to the boar. How? When any of them broke a law, they tied them up in big drums. After a while, a big snake could slide out of the jungle and well, I saw it done, but it didn't warn you. Let's have the rest of it. The top medicine man, the head priest of the tribe had a good looking daughter who fell for me high. She had a bracelet of emblems. White. After I picked up a little of her language, she told me where there were bigger, finer emblems. I told Chris and Vasco what she'd said, so one night, three of us started out.
We, must be getting close to the place she told you about, Sykes. Yeah. As I get it from her, Chris, we'll find a long stone building quickly hidden by jungle grove. I'll hold your torch high, I'd ask. Alright.
[00:15:51] Unknown:
I do not like this business, Sykes. You gonna start that again? If they catch us before we can escape,
[00:15:57] Unknown:
well, you have seen what happened to men who break their laws. They're not gonna get me squealed by any big snake, not while I have a gun.
[00:16:06] Unknown:
Listen. Don't strum.
[00:16:08] Unknown:
I hear. They are calling the big snake for the sacrifice tonight. Yeah. That's why I picked tonight to come here. The whole village or the attendant of ceremony? You are sure nobody guards that temple where we go to? The girl says it's guarded only by the spirits.
[00:16:23] Unknown:
They won't bother us. We shall be robbing their temple. Look.
[00:16:27] Unknown:
There is the long stone building. That's the place. We can walk right in. Sure. And take what we want. Come on. It's so dark in there, and these torches give so little light. They'll give it up. The emeralds aren't back on a statue you said. Yeah. Come
[00:16:48] Unknown:
on. Sykes, I see. Hold it. A snake.
[00:16:51] Unknown:
A big snake. Ron, get down. Oh, Chris, you've all it's the statue.
[00:16:56] Unknown:
The statue? Yes, Chris. Heart of stone with a human face. Look.
[00:17:01] Unknown:
I see now. It is a woman's face. And its eyes are umbrells. The biggest I've ever seen. And that emerald necklace. We'll be millionaires, Chris. They're all millionaires. I'll climb up and get them.
[00:17:16] Unknown:
What's that? The drum.
[00:17:19] Unknown:
It started when you touched the snake statue. Maybe it's a warning.
[00:17:26] Unknown:
Fuck. Hand me a knife, Chris. Phew. I'll be quick, Sykes. You are going to do what I came to do, Baskin. Cut off this necklace and pry out their mineral eyes. After I've pried the emerald eyes out, the three of us beat it fast. But when we slept, we dreamed of drums and that big statue of the serpent goddess, the snake of the woman's face. And sometimes deep in the jungle, we'd hear drums or think we heard them. Vazquez kept saying we'd never get away with what we'd done. He wanted his cut just like the rest of us. We kept on chopping our way through the tangled bush, hoping we'd finally get out of that jungle.
One day when we laid down.
[00:18:22] Unknown:
There is no reason, Sykes, why you do not divide those emeralds now instead of waiting. I told you. Chris and I have ordered no. We're two to one. Yes.
[00:18:31] Unknown:
Two to one. And every day we get closer to the edge of the camp. Cut it out, Rasker. Rasker. We ain't going to do nothing to you. Not a thing.
[00:18:41] Unknown:
It's your turn to scare up some grubs. Suppose you get out. Why will you never lend me your pistol, Sykes? Use your knife. I told you. I'm a good shot and I don't waste bullets and I'm saving the few I've got left. For what? For emergencies, of course.
[00:18:56] Unknown:
I see.
[00:18:57] Unknown:
I'll get going. I'm hungry.
[00:19:00] Unknown:
I go.
[00:19:01] Unknown:
Listen. To what?
[00:19:04] Unknown:
I don't hear nothing but birds. I hear drums.
[00:19:08] Unknown:
I don't hear any drums. You don't hear them now?
[00:19:13] Unknown:
No. There are no drum sounds.
[00:19:16] Unknown:
Maybe maybe I hear them because I will be the first of us to pay for robbing the serpent goddess. I go to hunt for food.
[00:19:30] Unknown:
Guys drive a mean nuts, Chris. Me too. Besides you,
[00:19:35] Unknown:
you didn't hear no drum. Oh,
[00:19:38] Unknown:
I'm I'm sure. Did you? I do not think so. I'm not always sure. He said maybe he heard him because
[00:19:47] Unknown:
he'd be the first of us to Sykes. Spasco. Hey. Is snake happy? Snake? Come away, Sykes. Run. Away, Chris. Away. We didn't try to help him. We know it'd be no use. We were afraid. Just left the guy to die. Yes, Casey. All we did was run until we dropped and couldn't run anymore. Then the fever got I woke up in a village where where the news reporters came, and, well, Chris and I denied the true things we'd said while the fever was in our heads because I can guess why you denied this story.
[00:20:35] Unknown:
Now she's followed us. She's paid off, Chris. And I'm next.
[00:20:54] Unknown:
I didn't see nothing in the paper today about the Johansen killing Casey. Ain't captain Logan gonna arrest Sykes? What for? His alibi was a %.
[00:21:03] Unknown:
Everybody confessed to stealing their memories. In another country, pal, from jungle Indians. Oh. There is one thing, Ethelbert, but it doesn't look very promising. What is it, miss Williams? Well, Logan's turned up a witness who says he saw Johansson let a woman into his apartment about a half hour before he was killed. A woman? Yeah. Described as a small brunette and carrying a small leather traveling case.
[00:21:24] Unknown:
A little skinny girl couldn't squeeze a big guy to death. No. You think Sykes will be bumped off like Johansson was in in that basket? No. He seems to think so.
[00:21:36] Unknown:
That's funny. That guy's trying to pack a month of life into every hour because he figures every hour will be his last. Hey, Annie. What do you say? Let's, let's drop off at his new apartment on our way home. Maybe we can cheer him up a little. Okay, Scout. If you must do a good deed. Well, it's a selfish good deed. I'd like to hear Sykes talk some more about that guy, Vasca.
[00:22:07] Unknown:
Oh, there's a parking spot, Casey, in back of that old Ford Cooper. That's for us. Somebody put a bad debt in the fender of that jalopy. Sure. I'll say. Oh, Sykes certainly got himself a swanky place to live when he moved out of that hotel. Whole First Floor of these new garden apartments. Yep. You know what? I'll get you out of the car. Okay.
[00:22:24] Unknown:
There's a light behind those Venetian blinds for the guys at home, anyway. Let's go in. I am sorry. Excuse me. In case, Sister, but what's your hurry?
[00:22:34] Unknown:
She is in a hurry.
[00:22:35] Unknown:
Almost knocked you over and gets into that old Ford, knocked you over. Some case of hers almost cracked my shin. She came out of Sykes' door. Sick Annie. She was a small, pretty brunette So? With a traveling case. Casey. She and her Ford are out of sight. Hey. Look. Let's get into Sykes' apartment quick. Okay. Yeah. Hey. Hey. She didn't close the door tight. Not with ceremony and the bell. I'll open it myself.
[00:22:58] Unknown:
Sykes is lying on the floor. Just like Johansson. Hey. Is he dead?
[00:23:03] Unknown:
He's dead alright. Oh, Casey. I think he's been squeezed to death. Just like Johansen. The serpent goddess. But that little brunette, she couldn't have crushed him. I don't see how a gal's answering the same description or What'd you just pick up? The valve cap off a tire. I wonder how that got you. A tire cap? Well, that won't help Annie. Hey. It's plenty help. Annie, pick up that phone and get your story into the paper. Yeah. I'm getting Logan at headquarters to tell him to locate an old Ford coupe with a dented rear fender.
[00:23:40] Unknown:
That's the car, Logan. I'm sure of it. Oh, garage guy here says that Ford belongs to a miss Isabella Vazquez. Is Isabella Vazquez?
[00:24:02] Unknown:
Yes.
[00:24:03] Unknown:
I'm captain Logan, homicide bureau. Where? Remember me, miss Vazquez?
[00:24:08] Unknown:
It wasn't smart to use that dented car for a getaway after you murdered Sykes.
[00:24:15] Unknown:
I did not try to be careful or smart after my work was accomplished. I I am very tired. Please take me to jail. You admit the killing of Sykes. I proudly admit it for I am Pedro Vazquez's sister.
[00:24:30] Unknown:
So that's the connection.
[00:24:32] Unknown:
Where is your brother, miss Vazquez? He never really believed he was killed by any human faced boar constrictor.
[00:24:38] Unknown:
He wasn't. He got out of the jungle, and he wrote me a letter.
[00:24:43] Unknown:
Tell me about it.
[00:24:45] Unknown:
My brother was sure those men, Sykes and Johansson, intended to kill him. So when he called to them that the serpent goddess had him in her coils, it was a trick. He knew they would run away away quick and leave him as I did. Then alone, he made his way to a village at the edge of the jungle where he write to me of everything that has happened
[00:25:06] Unknown:
and asked me to avenge him. How did you do the job in such a fancy way, miss Vazquez? How did you crush those men to death? I know how she did that, Logan. You know this. I think so.
[00:25:17] Unknown:
Oh,
[00:25:18] Unknown:
first, I wanna know why she did it. Why didn't your brother do his own avenging, miss Vazquez?
[00:25:24] Unknown:
Because when he wrote me that letter, he was dying. Just before he reached that village at the edge of the jungle, his body was broken in the coils of a big snake.
[00:25:47] Unknown:
We'll join the crowd of the Blue Note in just a moment. Very seldom do you hear a commercial announcement as important as the one we have for you tonight. It's about a brand new kind of dinnerware, a product of anchor glass. Its name is jadeite, j a d e I t e, jadeite. It looks and feels like rare Chinese porcelain, and it's as sturdy and heatproof as the fire king oven glass you use in your oven, and its cost is unbelievably low. Now for instance, a beautiful jadeite cup and saucer cost only 15¢. In fact, this revolutionary new jadeite costs less than half as much as the very cheapest dinnerware on the market. Now you can buy jadeite items separately or a complete dinner service for six for less than $5.
Now the demand for jadeite is enormous. To avoid disappointment, go to the nearest chain store, department store, or other store selling China ware or glass tomorrow and ask for jadeite by name. Jadeite, j a d e I t e, is the newest triumph of anchor Hawking. The most famous name in glass.
[00:27:08] Unknown:
K. Tell me how a little woman like that miss Vazquez was able to kill them two big guys like she did, Casey, and how did you know? Oh, that valve cap I found was a tip-off, Ethelbert. That and the suitcase she carried.
[00:27:21] Unknown:
And that suitcase contained a long thick rubber tube
[00:27:25] Unknown:
and a portable electric air compressor pump. And Isabella Vazquez is a pretty woman, Ethelbert. Both Sykes and Johansson were wolves. She let them pick her up and take her to their apartments, and then she tapped them on the head with a well padded blackjack that left no mark and wrapped the big tube around them and inflated it with the electric pump. You know, if a doctor ever used one of those blood pressure gadgets on your arm, pal, you know how air can squeeze
[00:27:49] Unknown:
because the doctor only uses a small bulb to pump it in a small tube. Gee. It was as simple as all that. Mhmm.
[00:27:57] Unknown:
Well, all this certainly wrecks the notion that that serpent goddess was paying off them three for stealing her emeralds.
[00:28:06] Unknown:
Does it count?
[00:28:10] Unknown:
Think about it, Ethelbert.
[00:28:13] Unknown:
Gee. Gee.
