Welcome. I'm EG Marshall. Won't you join me once again for an adventure in mystery and suspense, where space is as boundless and as unlimited as your imagination, and time is measured by the beat of your heart? Most of us know who we are, but how many of us know why we are? Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief. Is each man's lot ordained from the beginning and fated to be or not to be? Or is it all how do I know? You got a chain lock, lady. Just open the door a couple inches. You can see my badge.
[00:03:00] Unknown:
Oh oh my goodness. What are we?
[00:03:06] Unknown:
Please come in. I I I saw this man. He was prowling around in the dark, outside in the back. I was so frightened. Can you describe him? Well, he he was tall. How tall? Tall. About like you are. What else? And and he had broad shoulders like you have. Why are you looking at me like that? Please. Don't look at me like no. No. Don't come any closer. Why would you wanna hurt me? No. No. Please.

Our mystery drama, Three Times Dead, was written especially for the mystery theater by Sam Dann and stars William Redfield. It is sponsored in part by Buick Motor Division and Anheuser Busch Incorporated, brewers of Budweiser. I'll be back shortly with act one. And now another story of the ball and chain as Kellogg's special k presents Veronica and Jeff. Oh, Jeffrey. Isn't this romantic?
[00:04:34] Unknown:
Out in a quiet lake at night with you rowing the boat. Yes, Veronica. It's really neat. Jeffrey, what was that? Frogs. Frogs that go bong? They're pretty weird frogs. Oh, Jeffrey, you're such a car. You have a ball in chains. Not the ones they use in those special k commercials. Yes, Veronica. It symbolizes my few pounds of extra weight. But I'm going to get rid of it. How? By exercising. You know, like rowing this boat and eating smart at every meal. Starting with a Special K breakfast. You mean a one ounce bowl of high protein Special K, four ounces of skim milk, orange juice, and coffee? Precisely. It's less than 240 calories and it tastes delicious. It'll help me get rid of this ball and chain. I'll help too, Jeff. After all, we're all in the same boat. You have a ball and chain too.
[00:05:20] Unknown:
Your happy ending could begin with a special k breakfast from Kellogg's.

How do you do? Can I help you? Yeah. I just want a can of oleum. Uh-uh. What do you mean, uh-uh? I got some patio furniture that's getting rusty. And I know rust oleum comes in lots of colors and will stop that rust and I want some of it. Uh-uh. Look, this is a retail store. Right? Right. You sell people like me the things we want. Right? Right. And I want some Rust oleum. Right? Right. So you're gonna sell me some. Right? Uh-uh. And why not? Well, we think people should use Rust oleum only on weekends. Today's only Tuesday. If you took some Rust oleum home today, you'd wanna try it right away. Once you saw how easy it is to use Rust oleum and how good it looks, why you'd wanna touch up everything it needs, touch and knock them. That might take you through Thursday, and your boss would be calling to find out how come you missed work for two days. Now do you think we want a thing like that in our conscience? Uh-uh. That's why we sell Rust oleum only on weekends. But I'm on vacation.

When will we Consider Napoleon. Historians agree that his doom at Waterloo had been ordained some three years before in his costly victory at Borodino, a tiny village on the road to Moscow. They say that at Borodino, he lost the flower of his army. And why did he lose so many of his best soldiers? Because he was unable to think clearly. The reason, he was suffering from a severe cold. Why? Well, we know that his orderly had gotten drunk the day before, and thus neglected to have a pair of dry boots ready for the great general. And so, in a very real sense, this unnamed, unknown, obscure military servant changed the course of history.
Those are the facts. We may ask, why was the orderly drunk? Did it just happen? Or was it all part area four units proceed to one

One was pistol whipping this old man. Sir, we better get you to a doctor. I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble. They started to shoot as soon as they saw me. I I I guess I was luckier than both of them. Yeah. You did a good job. I, I Hey, Greenway. What is it? I've been a cop for eight years. You know, it's the first time I ever had to draw the gun out of the holster.
[00:09:19] Unknown:

Before we could even get out of the place, everybody was there. Microphones, cameras, how? Two men are dead and and And what? Well, nobody seems to realize that Tom, everybody knows they're dead. Look. Honey, I can't explain that these two men, they're dead. Their lives are finished. See? I ended the world for them.
[00:10:11] Unknown:
They don't exist anymore. That that's what being dead is. Don, you had no choice. I know. It's part of your job. I
[00:10:19] Unknown:
know. I guess I never looked at that part of the job. I always had the idea I was a cop because I wanted to help people.
[00:10:27] Unknown:
You helped that poor old band today.
[00:10:30] Unknown:
You saved his life. I understand, honey. I know all the arguments. Then what is it? I just never thought I'd have to go for the gun. Don. I I feel as if as if something some part of me is gone.
[00:10:47] Unknown:
What? I don't know.
[00:10:49] Unknown:
When I saw those two men dead on the floor, I felt that some part of me had simply disappeared. Something something in my mind. Something like what? I don't know. But it's it's it's something that I felt was very special and important to me and now it's just it's gone. It's it's disappeared. What you did was absolutely necessary. I agree. But it doesn't change the basic fact, which is I killed. Listen. How about dinner? I didn't know how you feel, so it's wide open. Okay. Let's go out. Sure. Dress up. I'll take you to Oreddy's. Oh, we're gonna make this an occasion. Well, it is an occasion, I guess. Maybe it marks my coming of age.
[00:11:44] Unknown:
39. Phillips, get over to 4816 South Torrance Drive. Report a man is beating up his wife. Oh, talking about wives. Twenty one, Greenway. You with us this afternoon, Dan? Yes. Yes, sergeant. Your wife wants you to call her on your coffee break. Something wrong, Sarge? Why don't you take your break right now?
[00:12:09] Unknown:
He said he wants to entertain both of us this evening at his home. Are you sure? He said his name was mister Sanchez, the one whose life you saved. Oh, I thought it was something important. It is important. Well, that is he made it seem like a matter of life and death. Look, I already promised him we'd be there.
[00:12:33] Unknown:
May I pour you some more wine? It's delicious. My dear friend, I am so sorry I could not thank you earlier. Look. It's not necessary to thank me. I did my job. Nothing more. Unfortunately, I have been in the hospital for the past week, so I have been unable to show my appreciation. And and tomorrow my business takes me abroad for an indefinite period, and so it must be tonight or never What do you mean? Consider serpent. Now why do I show you this? Because this is the object those two thugs were after. Oh.
[00:13:33] Unknown:
But but but why? I mean, what do they know about it? Probably nothing.
[00:13:38] Unknown:
Perhaps someone had paid them to get it. Who? It could be anyone. That is anyone who might be aware of the legend that surrounds this statue. A legend of Dan. It is said that whoever owns this statue will be granted three wishes. Well
[00:13:59] Unknown:
oh, no. Oh, don't mind him, mister Sanchez. He's always skeptical about everything. Now do you know what year this is, mister Sanchez? Oh, that went out with the Arabian night. Son, can't we have a little romance? You you say that the statue will grant you three wishes. So why didn't you use it to save yourself when those hoods were beating up? I did. What do you mean you did? I wish to be
[00:14:22] Unknown:
saved. And
[00:14:24] Unknown:
and you arrived, mister Sanchez. I arrived because I got a call on the police radio. But you arrived. And it was their two guns against you one.
[00:14:37] Unknown:
And they fired first, yet you killed them both. How?
[00:14:43] Unknown:
What are you getting at, mister Sanchez?
[00:14:46] Unknown:
Everything or nothing. Now I wish to make you a gift Oh, no. No. No. No. I couldn't. Of this statue.
[00:14:56] Unknown:
Don.
[00:14:57] Unknown:
Please. That's out of the question. Besides, why would you wanna give it away since you seem to be convinced that it works? Because when I asked to be saved,
[00:15:07] Unknown:
that was my third wish.
[00:15:10] Unknown:
Mister Sanchez, I appreciate what you wanna do, but it's illegal for me to accept payment for performance in the line of duty. This is not payment.
[00:15:18] Unknown:
It is a token, a gift. Look, I am leaving the country for an indefinite period. I am an old man. I cannot make any long range plans.
[00:15:28] Unknown:
I
[00:15:31] Unknown:
There is no way to slice this to make it come out differently,
[00:15:37] Unknown:
mister Sanchez.
[00:15:37] Unknown:
Are you saying that there is no way I can show you my appreciation? No way beyond the thank you, and I've already received that.
[00:15:45] Unknown:
Ella, look. It's getting late. But, Don, mister Sanchez is very sincere. I I know he is. It's still getting late. Before you go, consider.
[00:15:56] Unknown:
In the ordinary way, I should be dead. That was the obvious way fate was working. However, by means of this statue, I changed it. In doing so, I also changed your life. You're a different man
[00:16:13] Unknown:
because of me. I'm the same man I always was. You don't realize it yet. So take this statue. Look, I'm very sorry, sir, but I You may
[00:16:24] Unknown:
need it. You may even now be headed for a fate
[00:16:28] Unknown:
that you may wish to change. Mister Sanchez, thank you for an excellent dinner and a very pleasant evening. Ella, tomorrow's an early day for me. Then
[00:16:36] Unknown:
there is nothing I can say to you? I'm
[00:16:39] Unknown:
afraid not. Wow. Honey, this is a spread.
[00:16:50] Unknown:
I thought you'd be hungry tonight. Look at that steak. And you
[00:16:54] Unknown:
oh, you even baked a pie. Yes. I did. Look. I'm gonna have to start losing weight soon.
[00:17:02] Unknown:
I have to tell you something. Sure. What? Well, at first, I thought maybe I could keep it a secret. But
[00:17:10] Unknown:
Hey. What is it?
[00:17:12] Unknown:
Look up there. On the shelf. On this the statue. Before you say another word, it's mine. Yours? Listen, Don. He stopped off here this afternoon on the way to the airport. He asked me to accept the statue. Couldn't you tell him that I can't? I told him. I even told him I couldn't accept it as a gift either. Well, so how does it happen that it's sitting there? Well, he said, let me sell it to you. Sell it? Let me sell it to you, he said, for $50. 50 dollars? It it's worth at least a thousand. Son, he convinced me we might need this statue one day. Honey, for what? Who knows? Anyhow, it's my statue. I have the bill of sale made out to me.
Here it is. Now what would you like me to wish for? Nothing.
[00:18:07] Unknown:
Nothing? Nothing. And, Ella, I want your word of honor that you will never, never use that statue to wish for anything. But don't. I want your promise. But you can't be serious. Look. I'll tell you how serious I am. If you ever make a wish on that statue, I will break up our marriage. Now can I have your promise? Why is Don so upset? Is it such a bad thing to have a wish come true? Well, it is according to both Aesop and James Russell Lowell because both of them said, granting our wish is one of fate's saddest jokes. Even so, and with all due respect to those two great men, wouldn't most people jump at the chance to get a wish gratified?
The proposition will be tested when I return in a few moments with act two.
[00:19:06] Unknown:
You don't see many people putting salt in their beer nowadays. Not that there's anything wrong with salt on radishes or French fries, but man, not in the king of beers. Truth is the only thing salt can do for Budweiser is make unwise thing to do to the only beer in America that's beechwood aged. Unsalted Budweiser has become the most popular beer in the world.
[00:19:31] Unknown:
That's because in brewing bud, the Budweiser brew master goes all the way for a
[00:19:41] Unknown:
know something else you can take without a grain of salt. The fact that when you say Budweiser, you've said it all. Anheuser Busch, Saint Louis.
[00:20:03] Unknown:
I never thought I'd admit it. I'm Susan x, and I used to be a deodorant switcher. I kept switching from one underarm spray to another, looking for one that gives me everything I want, and I found it. It's called Bodyol. Bodyol is different. It says so right on the label. Its deodorant is microencapsulated, so I get a fresh surge of deodorant every time time I perspire.
[00:20:29] Unknown:
Now that I switched to body oil, I promise I'll never switch again. This is Al Wisk. Southern Methodist University in the Southwest Conference will be our topics Tuesday night on Sports Central Dallas. My guest will be SMU's athletic director, Dick Davis. We'll talk about the Mustangs and the expansion of soccer in SMU's athletic program. We'll look at what's brewing in the Southwest Conference like the post season basketball tournament. SMU athletic director, Dick Davis, our guest, Tuesday night, 06:15 to 7PM, right here on KRLD, the sports voice of the Great Southwest.
It's a tiny statue, perhaps six inches high, made of the purest gold and the finest workmanship. It's the figure of a beautiful woman with a serpent coiled about her waist. It is said to have the power to grant its owner three wishes. And would you believe that it's the source of a violent argument between Don and Ella Greenway in this day and age of electronics and jets? Don, wouldn't it be something though? Wouldn't what be something?
[00:21:47] Unknown:
If it were all really true,
[00:21:50] Unknown:
if we could get three wishes out of it Now, Ellen, I meant what I said before. No wishing on that statue. Dawn,
[00:21:59] Unknown:
do you mean you believe the old man? Well,
[00:22:05] Unknown:
do you? What's the difference? But, Dawn, how could Ella, remember what he said last night about how I happened to be there? Yes. But When I pulled up in the squad car and jumped out, I couldn't see inside that shop. Do you know what I mean? No. There's a window display. It blocks your view. The door was closed, and it's a heavy wooden door.
[00:22:25] Unknown:
What are you trying to tell me? Listen.
[00:22:27] Unknown:
The call came in. You see? It was relayed to sergeant Carter. The assumption was some passerby had seen the holdup. Well, it has to be what happened. How? How could anyone on the street have seen anything inside the shop? Maybe someone passing by heard the old man scream? No. No. No. No. See, I was there at the height of it. I didn't hear a thing. I didn't see a thing until I threw that door open. Oh, but Well, but what? I got there first because mine was the nearest car to the scene. Each of them got off a shot at me before I could even fire.
[00:22:59] Unknown:
Dawn,
[00:23:02] Unknown:
please. I I don't even like to think about it. Ella, I didn't even wanna wanna shoot. Would you believe it? I had to force myself to pull the trigger. Still, when the smoke clears, there they are. They're dead. I'm alive. Could there have been, oh, fate or whatever you call it involved there?
[00:23:21] Unknown:
On the other hand, it could just be
[00:23:24] Unknown:
the way things happen sometimes. That's right. That's right. So let's let things determine themselves. Right? For better or for
[00:23:35] Unknown:
worse. How would it be if I wished you made sergeant?
[00:23:42] Unknown:
I'm gonna make sergeant anyhow.
[00:23:44] Unknown:
That's true. How about money? No. Ella, I want you to listen. Forget that statue. I won't whisper million dollars. Look, Ella, I'm telling you. All this is extremely practical and justified. Look. We owe 12,000 on the mortgage. Ella Fifteen hundred on the car. I don't wanna go into all this again. That's
[00:24:01] Unknown:
13 on the car. I don't wanna go into all this again. That's $13.05.
[00:24:07] Unknown:
We owe 400 for the new roof, and you'll have to have that dental work done. That's another 600. And we've been promising ourselves an air conditioner for the bedroom. Money. And our washing machine is ten years old. Comes to, say, $15,000.
[00:24:24] Unknown:
I don't wanna hear anymore, Ella. Don,
[00:24:27] Unknown:
it's my statue. Please, Ella. I What is it, Don? Dawn?
[00:24:34] Unknown:
Alright. Right. I'll admit it. I I'm scared.
[00:24:38] Unknown:
Of what?
[00:24:39] Unknown:
I don't know. Ever since that shootout, I've had all kinds of crazy ideas. Crazy ideas? Well, not crazy so much as as mixed up, and I I don't even know if they're ideas. They're more like like feelings. Can you No. No. I can't describe them. Honey, just please listen. Don't do anything right now to upset me. Okay? You need a vacation. I'm alright. I'm alright. Let's just let everything sit for a while. Dee, what time did it get to be? I have to sign in at five. Good Goodbye, honey. Goodbye, darling. Ella, just humor me, will you? I mean, promise.
[00:25:24] Unknown:
I promise. I promised. And I probably would have kept that promise. But I was loading the dishwasher.
[00:25:43] Unknown:
I turned the knob,
[00:25:46] Unknown:
and nothing happened. I kept clicking the knob, and nothing happened. I was so angry, so frustrated. I finally kicked it, and nothing happened. All we wanted was to live nicely, comfortably. It would take $15,000 to put us ahead of the game. Would that upset fate? I looked at the statue. I remembered the words that mister Sanchez had spoken when he left here. You look at the statue.
[00:26:22] Unknown:
You see to to the statue. I wish for I wish
[00:26:29] Unknown:

The outlook is not good.

[00:29:52] Unknown:
Missus Greenway, if there's anything any of us can do for you Thank you, Sergeant.
[00:29:58] Unknown:
It's guys like him. What's the use? It's usually guys like him who get it.
[00:30:05] Unknown:
You know, it's funny. You might have had a premonition
[00:30:09] Unknown:
about it. What are you saying, Sergeant?
[00:30:12] Unknown:
Oh, I I don't know. I'm just thinking aloud.
[00:30:16] Unknown:
No. Now tell me. Tell me what you mean by a premonition.
[00:30:23] Unknown:
Well, it's, just how things work out, you know. Couple of months ago, we got this new Benevolent Elite Special Insurance, and Don never paid any attention to it. But this morning, before going on duty, he said to me, hey, Sarge.
[00:30:41] Unknown:
Hand me a form. I'll sign up.
[00:30:46] Unknown:
He signed up for special insurance this
[00:30:51] Unknown:
morning? Yeah. How much insurance? How much?
[00:30:57] Unknown:
Well, let's see if I can remember. Oh, oh, sure. That,
[00:31:02] Unknown:
well, it was the same as mine. $15,000.
[00:31:12] Unknown:
This morning, Ella Greenway stood before a tiny gold statue and wished for $15,000. Taken by itself, we could call it an act of superstition. Now, fourteen hours later, her husband is dying, and we find he has just insured his life for, you guessed it, $15,000. Rarely is superstition so scientifically supported by mathematics. We'll have another set of numbers when I return shortly with act three.

Hello. Miss Goldilocks here, and welcome to my professional taste testing laboratory. Oh, Papa Bear. Uh-huh. Could you bring that case of sugar free diet seven up over here? Another case? Miss Goldilocks, you're drinking this sugar free diet seven up like there's no tomorrow. You can't still be taste testing it. Oh, no, papa bear. Sugar free diet seven up has already earned my seal of approval. It's fresh, light, natural. Delicious. I drink it because I love its taste. Now hurry up. Okay. Okay. Here. Mhmm.
This sugar free diet seven up really tastes delicious. Ladies, if you're tired of switching from one diet drink to another, take some advice from miss Goldilocks. Try sugar free diet seven up and you'll say, yes.

You know, if we didn't have the name, the gentle sound, I honestly don't know what we'd call the music. Yeah. We try to, to create an environment. Sort of an environment for living, you know. And naturally, we want it to be comfortable. And not so oddly, I guess. We've ended up with a unique sound. The music, the little comments we had, the news. And I mean that about environment how well. KRLD is the most listened to station in Dallas. The gentle sound is one reason.
[00:34:13] Unknown:
If you could have three wishes, would you take them? Ella Greenway was warned, stay with what fate is planned. Accept destiny. Don't improvise. But all she wished for was a modest sum of money to keep up with the cost of living. However, it turns out the price she must pay for the money is her husband's life. One wish down,

I'll have have something for you when I return shortly. I'd like to describe a car to you. See what you think of it. First of all, it's small. Second, it's got a six cylinder engine, a pretty handy asset these days. Third, it's a Buick. Now in spite of the fact that it's small, this car can seat six easily. It's got a 21 gallon fuel tank, which gives it great range, and it weighs several hundred pounds more than most imports, which in a small car is good. Now what does it look like? Well, that's pretty tough to handle on radio. I'd hesitate to call it glamorous and assure as in homely. I think handsome would be fair, and it offers some pretty attractive styling and trim options.
The interior is definitely its strong suit. Now, if that sounds like a little more than your average small car, then I've described it properly. Because remember, this small car is a Buick. The car is called Apollo, Buick Apollo. And it's about as much small car as you'll find on the road today. See for yourself at your Buick Opel dealer.

I wish I could tell you what happened to the little statue, but I can't. Ella Greenway's house was robbed a few years ago, and the little statue was part of the loot. It may have been stolen by someone who knew its powers. On the other hand, it may be kicking around some antique or gift shop. Remember, if you see it, it's a beautiful lady with a snake twined about her waist. And if you should see it, would you buy it? Our cast included William Redfield, Suzanne Grossman, Sam Gray, and Dan Aco. The entire production was under the direction of Hyman Brown. Radio Mystery Theater was sponsored in part by the Kellogg company, makers of Kellogg's special k cereal, new sugar free diet seven Up, and sign off, the sinus medicines.

It is sponsored in part by Buick Motor Division and Anheuser Busch Incorporated, brewers of Budweiser. I'll be back shortly with act one. And now another story of the ball and chain as Kellogg's special k presents Veronica and Jeff. Oh, Jeffrey. Isn't this romantic?

You have a ball in chains. Not the ones they use in those special k commercials. Yes, Veronica. It symbolizes my few pounds of extra weight. But I'm going to get rid of it. How? By exercising. You know, like rowing this boat and eating smart at every meal. Starting with a Special K breakfast. You mean a one ounce bowl of high protein Special K, four ounces of skim milk, orange juice, and coffee? Precisely. It's less than 240 calories and it tastes delicious. It'll help me get rid of this ball and chain. I'll help too, Jeff. After all, we're all in the same boat. You have a ball and chain too.

If you took some Rust oleum home today, you'd wanna try it right away. Once you saw how easy it is to use Rust oleum and how good it looks, why you'd wanna touch up everything it needs, touch and knock them. That might take you through Thursday, and your boss would be calling to find out how come you missed work for two days. Now do you think we want a thing like that in our conscience? Uh-uh. That's why we sell Rust oleum only on weekends. But I'm on vacation.

When will we Consider Napoleon. Historians agree that his doom at Waterloo had been ordained some three years before in his costly victory at Borodino, a tiny village on the road to Moscow. They say that at Borodino, he lost the flower of his army. And why did he lose so many of his best soldiers? Because he was unable to think clearly. The reason, he was suffering from a severe cold. Why? Well, we know that his orderly had gotten drunk the day before, and thus neglected to have a pair of dry boots ready for the great general. And so, in a very real sense, this unnamed, unknown, obscure military servant changed the course of history.
Those are the facts. We may ask, why was the orderly drunk? Did it just happen? Or was it all part area four units proceed to one

You know, it's the first time I ever had to draw the gun out of the holster.
[00:09:19] Unknown:
Can you drive? Drive? Oh, sure. Sure. Yeah. I don't think so. I'll get Smitty to take your car. You come back with me. Write up up your report.
[00:09:27] Unknown:
Now? Sure. Right now. While it's fresh. Dom? Yeah. Yeah. It's me. I heard about it. It was on the radio. Yeah. It's gonna be on the TV news too. Before we could even get out of the place, everybody was there. Microphones, cameras, how? Two men are dead and and And what? Well, nobody seems to realize that Tom, everybody knows they're dead. Look. Honey, I can't explain that these two men, they're dead. Their lives are finished. See? I ended the world for them.
[00:10:11] Unknown:
They don't exist anymore. That that's what being dead is. Don, you had no choice. I know. It's part of your job. I
[00:10:19] Unknown:
know. I guess I never looked at that part of the job. I always had the idea I was a cop because I wanted to help people.
[00:10:27] Unknown:
You helped that poor old band today.
[00:10:30] Unknown:
You saved his life. I understand, honey. I know all the arguments. Then what is it? I just never thought I'd have to go for the gun. Don. I I feel as if as if something some part of me is gone.
[00:10:47] Unknown:
What? I don't know.
[00:10:49] Unknown:
When I saw those two men dead on the floor, I felt that some part of me had simply disappeared. Something something in my mind. Something like what? I don't know. But it's it's it's something that I felt was very special and important to me and now it's just it's gone. It's it's disappeared. What you did was absolutely necessary. I agree. But it doesn't change the basic fact, which is I killed. Listen. How about dinner? I didn't know how you feel, so it's wide open. Okay. Let's go out. Sure. Dress up. I'll take you to Oreddy's. Oh, we're gonna make this an occasion. Well, it is an occasion, I guess. Maybe it marks my coming of age.
[00:11:44] Unknown:
39. Phillips, get over to 4816 South Torrance Drive. Report a man is beating up his wife. Oh, talking about wives. Twenty one, Greenway. You with us this afternoon, Dan? Yes. Yes, sergeant. Your wife wants you to call her on your coffee break. Something wrong, Sarge? Why don't you take your break right now?
[00:12:09] Unknown:
He said he wants to entertain both of us this evening at his home. Are you sure? He said his name was mister Sanchez, the one whose life you saved. Oh, I thought it was something important. It is important. Well, that is he made it seem like a matter of life and death. Look, I already promised him we'd be there.
[00:12:33] Unknown:
May I pour you some more wine? It's delicious. My dear friend, I am so sorry I could not thank you earlier. Look. It's not necessary to thank me. I did my job. Nothing more. Unfortunately, I have been in the hospital for the past week, so I have been unable to show my appreciation. And and tomorrow my business takes me abroad for an indefinite period, and so it must be tonight or never What do you mean? Consider serpent. Now why do I show you this? Because this is the object those two thugs were after. Oh.
[00:13:33] Unknown:
But but but why? I mean, what do they know about it? Probably nothing.
[00:13:38] Unknown:
Perhaps someone had paid them to get it. Who? It could be anyone. That is anyone who might be aware of the legend that surrounds this statue. A legend of Dan. It is said that whoever owns this statue will be granted three wishes. Well
[00:13:59] Unknown:
oh, no. Oh, don't mind him, mister Sanchez. He's always skeptical about everything. Now do you know what year this is, mister Sanchez? Oh, that went out with the Arabian night. Son, can't we have a little romance? You you say that the statue will grant you three wishes. So why didn't you use it to save yourself when those hoods were beating up? I did. What do you mean you did? I wish to be
[00:14:22] Unknown:
saved. And
[00:14:24] Unknown:
and you arrived, mister Sanchez. I arrived because I got a call on the police radio. But you arrived. And it was their two guns against you one.
[00:14:37] Unknown:
And they fired first, yet you killed them both. How?
[00:14:43] Unknown:
What are you getting at, mister Sanchez?
[00:14:46] Unknown:
Everything or nothing. Now I wish to make you a gift Oh, no. No. No. No. I couldn't. Of this statue.
[00:14:56] Unknown:
Don.
[00:14:57] Unknown:
Please. That's out of the question. Besides, why would you wanna give it away since you seem to be convinced that it works? Because when I asked to be saved,
[00:15:07] Unknown:
that was my third wish.
[00:15:10] Unknown:
Mister Sanchez, I appreciate what you wanna do, but it's illegal for me to accept payment for performance in the line of duty. This is not payment.
[00:15:18] Unknown:
It is a token, a gift. Look, I am leaving the country for an indefinite period. I am an old man. I cannot make any long range plans.
[00:15:28] Unknown:
I
[00:15:31] Unknown:
There is no way to slice this to make it come out differently,
[00:15:37] Unknown:
mister Sanchez.
[00:15:37] Unknown:
Are you saying that there is no way I can show you my appreciation? No way beyond the thank you, and I've already received that.
[00:15:45] Unknown:
Ella, look. It's getting late. But, Don, mister Sanchez is very sincere. I I know he is. It's still getting late. Before you go, consider.
[00:15:56] Unknown:
In the ordinary way, I should be dead. That was the obvious way fate was working. However, by means of this statue, I changed it. In doing so, I also changed your life. You're a different man
[00:16:13] Unknown:
because of me. I'm the same man I always was. You don't realize it yet. So take this statue. Look, I'm very sorry, sir, but I You may
[00:16:24] Unknown:
need it. You may even now be headed for a fate
[00:16:28] Unknown:
that you may wish to change. Mister Sanchez, thank you for an excellent dinner and a very pleasant evening. Ella, tomorrow's an early day for me. Then
[00:16:36] Unknown:
there is nothing I can say to you? I'm
[00:16:39] Unknown:
afraid not. Wow. Honey, this is a spread.
[00:16:50] Unknown:
I thought you'd be hungry tonight. Look at that steak. And you
[00:16:54] Unknown:
oh, you even baked a pie. Yes. I did. Look. I'm gonna have to start losing weight soon.
[00:17:02] Unknown:
I have to tell you something. Sure. What? Well, at first, I thought maybe I could keep it a secret. But
[00:17:10] Unknown:
Hey. What is it?
[00:17:12] Unknown:
Look up there. On the shelf. On this the statue. Before you say another word, it's mine. Yours? Listen, Don. He stopped off here this afternoon on the way to the airport. He asked me to accept the statue. Couldn't you tell him that I can't? I told him. I even told him I couldn't accept it as a gift either. Well, so how does it happen that it's sitting there? Well, he said, let me sell it to you. Sell it? Let me sell it to you, he said, for $50. 50 dollars? It it's worth at least a thousand. Son, he convinced me we might need this statue one day. Honey, for what? Who knows? Anyhow, it's my statue. I have the bill of sale made out to me.
Here it is. Now what would you like me to wish for? Nothing.
[00:18:07] Unknown:
Nothing? Nothing. And, Ella, I want your word of honor that you will never, never use that statue to wish for anything. But don't. I want your promise. But you can't be serious. Look. I'll tell you how serious I am. If you ever make a wish on that statue, I will break up our marriage. Now can I have your promise? Why is Don so upset? Is it such a bad thing to have a wish come true? Well, it is according to both Aesop and James Russell Lowell because both of them said, granting our wish is one of fate's saddest jokes. Even so, and with all due respect to those two great men, wouldn't most people jump at the chance to get a wish gratified?
The proposition will be tested when I return in a few moments with act two.
[00:19:06] Unknown:
You don't see many people putting salt in their beer nowadays. Not that there's anything wrong with salt on radishes or French fries, but man, not in the king of beers. Truth is the only thing salt can do for Budweiser is make unwise thing to do to the only beer in America that's beechwood aged. Unsalted Budweiser has become the most popular beer in the world.
[00:19:31] Unknown:
That's because in brewing bud, the Budweiser brew master goes all the way for a

know something else you can take without a grain of salt. The fact that when you say Budweiser, you've said it all. Anheuser Busch, Saint Louis.

I never thought I'd admit it. I'm Susan x, and I used to be a deodorant switcher. I kept switching from one underarm spray to another, looking for one that gives me everything I want, and I found it. It's called Bodyol. Bodyol is different. It says so right on the label. Its deodorant is microencapsulated, so I get a fresh surge of deodorant every time time I perspire.
[00:20:29] Unknown:
Now that I switched to body oil, I promise I'll never switch again. This is Al Wisk. Southern Methodist University in the Southwest Conference will be our topics Tuesday night on Sports Central Dallas. My guest will be SMU's athletic director, Dick Davis. We'll talk about the Mustangs and the expansion of soccer in SMU's athletic program. We'll look at what's brewing in the Southwest Conference like the post season basketball tournament. SMU athletic director, Dick Davis, our guest, Tuesday night, 06:15 to 7PM, right here on KRLD, the sports voice of the Great Southwest.
It's a tiny statue, perhaps six inches high, made of the purest gold and the finest workmanship. It's the figure of a beautiful woman with a serpent coiled about her waist. It is said to have the power to grant its owner three wishes. And would you believe that it's the source of a violent argument between Don and Ella Greenway in this day and age of electronics and jets? Don, wouldn't it be something though? Wouldn't what be something?
[00:21:47] Unknown:
If it were all really true,
[00:21:50] Unknown:
if we could get three wishes out of it Now, Ellen, I meant what I said before. No wishing on that statue. Dawn,
[00:21:59] Unknown:
do you mean you believe the old man? Well,
[00:22:05] Unknown:
do you? What's the difference? But, Dawn, how could Ella, remember what he said last night about how I happened to be there? Yes. But When I pulled up in the squad car and jumped out, I couldn't see inside that shop. Do you know what I mean? No. There's a window display. It blocks your view. The door was closed, and it's a heavy wooden door.
[00:22:25] Unknown:
What are you trying to tell me? Listen.
[00:22:27] Unknown:
The call came in. You see? It was relayed to sergeant Carter. The assumption was some passerby had seen the holdup. Well, it has to be what happened. How? How could anyone on the street have seen anything inside the shop? Maybe someone passing by heard the old man scream? No. No. No. No. See, I was there at the height of it. I didn't hear a thing. I didn't see a thing until I threw that door open. Oh, but Well, but what? I got there first because mine was the nearest car to the scene. Each of them got off a shot at me before I could even fire.
[00:22:59] Unknown:
Dawn,
[00:23:02] Unknown:
please. I I don't even like to think about it. Ella, I didn't even wanna wanna shoot. Would you believe it? I had to force myself to pull the trigger. Still, when the smoke clears, there they are. They're dead. I'm alive. Could there have been, oh, fate or whatever you call it involved there?
[00:23:21] Unknown:
On the other hand, it could just be
[00:23:24] Unknown:
the way things happen sometimes. That's right. That's right. So let's let things determine themselves. Right? For better or for
[00:23:35] Unknown:
worse. How would it be if I wished you made sergeant?
[00:23:42] Unknown:
I'm gonna make sergeant anyhow.
[00:23:44] Unknown:
That's true. How about money? No. Ella, I want you to listen. Forget that statue. I won't whisper million dollars. Look, Ella, I'm telling you. All this is extremely practical and justified. Look. We owe 12,000 on the mortgage. Ella Fifteen hundred on the car. I don't wanna go into all this again. That's
[00:24:01] Unknown:
13 on the car. I don't wanna go into all this again. That's $13.05.
[00:24:07] Unknown:
We owe 400 for the new roof, and you'll have to have that dental work done. That's another 600. And we've been promising ourselves an air conditioner for the bedroom. Money. And our washing machine is ten years old. Comes to, say, $15,000.
[00:24:24] Unknown:
I don't wanna hear anymore, Ella. Don,
[00:24:27] Unknown:
it's my statue. Please, Ella. I What is it, Don? Dawn?
[00:24:34] Unknown:
Alright. Right. I'll admit it. I I'm scared.
[00:24:38] Unknown:
Of what?
[00:24:39] Unknown:
I don't know. Ever since that shootout, I've had all kinds of crazy ideas. Crazy ideas? Well, not crazy so much as as mixed up, and I I don't even know if they're ideas. They're more like like feelings. Can you No. No. I can't describe them. Honey, just please listen. Don't do anything right now to upset me. Okay? You need a vacation. I'm alright. I'm alright. Let's just let everything sit for a while. Dee, what time did it get to be? I have to sign in at five. Good Goodbye, honey. Goodbye, darling. Ella, just humor me, will you? I mean, promise.
[00:25:24] Unknown:
I promise. I promised. And I probably would have kept that promise. But I was loading the dishwasher.
[00:25:43] Unknown:
I turned the knob,
[00:25:46] Unknown:
and nothing happened. I kept clicking the knob, and nothing happened. I was so angry, so frustrated. I finally kicked it, and nothing happened. All we wanted was to live nicely, comfortably. It would take $15,000 to put us ahead of the game. Would that upset fate? I looked at the statue. I remembered the words that mister Sanchez had spoken when he left here. You look at the statue.
[00:26:22] Unknown:
You see to to the statue. I wish for I wish
[00:26:29] Unknown:
for I wish for

Missus Greenway, if there's anything any of us can do for you Thank you, Sergeant.
[00:29:58] Unknown:
It's guys like him. What's the use? It's usually guys like him who get it.
[00:30:05] Unknown:
You know, it's funny. You might have had a premonition
[00:30:09] Unknown:
about it. What are you saying, Sergeant?
[00:30:12] Unknown:
Oh, I I don't know. I'm just thinking aloud.
[00:30:16] Unknown:
No. Now tell me. Tell me what you mean by a premonition.
[00:30:23] Unknown:
Well, it's, just how things work out, you know. Couple of months ago, we got this new Benevolent Elite Special Insurance, and Don never paid any attention to it. But this morning, before going on duty, he said to me, hey, Sarge.
[00:30:41] Unknown:
Hand me a form. I'll sign up.
[00:30:46] Unknown:
He signed up for special insurance this
[00:30:51] Unknown:
morning? Yeah. How much insurance? How much?
[00:30:57] Unknown:
Well, let's see if I can remember. Oh, oh, sure. That,
[00:31:02] Unknown:
well, it was the same as mine. $15,000.
[00:31:12] Unknown:
This morning, Ella Greenway stood before a tiny gold statue and wished for $15,000. Taken by itself, we could call it an act of superstition. Now, fourteen hours later, her husband is dying, and we find he has just insured his life for, you guessed it, $15,000. Rarely is superstition so scientifically supported by mathematics. We'll have another set of numbers when I return shortly with act three.
[00:31:46] Unknown:
Hello. Miss Goldilocks here, and welcome to my professional taste testing laboratory. Oh, Papa Bear. Uh-huh. Could you bring that case of sugar free diet seven up over here? Another case? Miss Goldilocks, you're drinking this sugar free diet seven up like there's no tomorrow. You can't still be taste testing it. Oh, no, papa bear. Sugar free diet seven up has already earned my seal of approval. It's fresh, light, natural. Delicious. I drink it because I love its taste. Now hurry up. Okay. Okay. Here. Mhmm.
This sugar free diet seven up really tastes delicious. Ladies, if you're tired of switching from one diet drink to another, take some advice from miss Goldilocks. Try sugar free diet seven up and you'll say, yes.

This one's just right. I'll bear witness to that, Goldie.

You know, if we didn't have the name, the gentle sound, I honestly don't know what we'd call the music. Yeah. We try to, to create an environment. Sort of an environment for living, you know. And naturally, we want it to be comfortable. And not so oddly, I guess. We've ended up with a unique sound. The music, the little comments we had, the news. And I mean that about environment how well. KRLD is the most listened to station in Dallas. The gentle sound is one reason.
[00:34:13] Unknown:
If you could have three wishes, would you take them? Ella Greenway was warned, stay with what fate is planned. Accept destiny. Don't improvise. But all she wished for was a modest sum of money to keep up with the cost of living. However, it turns out the price she must pay for the money is her husband's life. One wish down,
[00:34:37] Unknown:
two to go. I I don't want the money. I don't want that. Missus Greenway.

[00:35:41] Unknown:
It's getting worse. He's thinking quickly. It could be a matter of minutes. Will I Please tell me. Yes. He could die at any time. Sergeant Carter, take me home. But don't you want it now? Take me home. Take me home as quickly as you can. Take

Don will be alright. Just remember, if there's anything, anything at all, Miss Greenway, aren't you gonna answer it? Answer? The phone. Okay. Don't don't bother. I will. Hello?
[00:37:06] Unknown:
Is that you, sergeant? Yeah. Could you bring Mrs. Greenway back here right away?
[00:37:18] Unknown:
We never saw or even heard of such a remarkable turnabout.
[00:37:23] Unknown:
You could almost say it's a miracle. Why not say it? It was one thing for sure, Mrs. Greenway never gave up hope, never lost

Three times dead. And you can have the story anywhere you like. The supernatural powers of the little golden the sudden rallies and collapses that still defy the best thinking of medical science. Random accident or predestined fate. We always have something for everybody. As usual,
[00:50:40] Unknown:
I'll have have something for you when I return shortly. I'd like to describe a car to you. See what you think of it. First of all, it's small. Second, it's got a six cylinder engine, a pretty handy asset these days. Third, it's a Buick. Now in spite of the fact that it's small, this car can seat six easily. It's got a 21 gallon fuel tank, which gives it great range, and it weighs several hundred pounds more than most imports, which in a small car is good. Now what does it look like? Well, that's pretty tough to handle on radio. I'd hesitate to call it glamorous and assure as in homely. I think handsome would be fair, and it offers some pretty attractive styling and trim options.
The interior is definitely its strong suit. Now, if that sounds like a little more than your average small car, then I've described it properly. Because remember, this small car is a Buick. The car is called Apollo, Buick Apollo. And it's about as much small car as you'll find on the road today. See for yourself at your Buick Opel dealer.

I wish I could tell you what happened to the little statue, but I can't. Ella Greenway's house was robbed a few years ago, and the little statue was part of the loot. It may have been stolen by someone who knew its powers. On the other hand, it may be kicking around some antique or gift shop. Remember, if you see it, it's a beautiful lady with a snake twined about her waist. And if you should see it, would you buy it? Our cast included William Redfield, Suzanne Grossman, Sam Gray, and Dan Aco. The entire production was under the direction of Hyman Brown.
