How can I add course content to my Moodle? A course in Moodle is basically a space on your Moodle site where one or more teachers can add learning content for their students. What the course might look like as a teacher will depend partly on the theme and settings which you as the admin define. This course uses the Boost theme, although it can be changed to Classic as shown in another video. With the Boost theme, teachers can expect to see a collapsible navigation draw on the left and a cog menu top right. By default, teachers can edit the course settings by clicking the cog icon and then edit settings. Other course features are available from here too including a More link which takes you to further settings including reports, badges and quiz questions. The main content area here is where the actual teaching and learning resources will be added. In this course there are numbered topics which can be renamed but if we look at a different course on a different Moodle site you can see that these are divided into weekly sections and there are some blocks on the right. In order to add learning content you need to have the editing turned on and with the Boost theme you do this by clicking the cog top right and then clicking the link Turn editing on. This displays an edit menu next to any existing content for editing the settings, hiding, duplicating, deleting and so on. There is an announcement forum here and if the teacher wishes to move it into a different section she clicks the crosshairs icon to move it by dragging and dropping. You can add slide presentations or word process documents simply by dragging and dropping Otherwise to add other content the teacher needs to click the link add an activity or resource in the section where she'd like them to appear. You can always move them afterwards. An activity involves input from learners such as submitting an assignment or posting in a forum. A resource is static content such as a video or page of text. When the editing is turned on a teacher can also add blocks to the side of the main learning content. For more information on how courses work watch our Learn Moodle Educator playlist on our YouTube channel and join our twice yearly Learn Moodle Educator MOOC. To summarise courses hold learning content resources are static activities require input from learners blocks may also be added to the side.


All aboard for the transcribe premiere production the crews of the fall parrot that exciting story of wailing days and the search for buried treasure Captain Roy Dalton and his friends are returning from Ascension Island with explosives in the hold with which to blow up the landslide which blocks the diamond mine on Secret Galto Island owned jointly by Ezra Grange and young Johnny Robbins While on Ascension Island They surprised a raid on the home of some friends of Captain Dalton by a reckless adventurer named Dirk briscoe After having been chased off Ascension Island by Captain Dalton briscoe and his men are hiding from the authorities on unchartered Galto Island Unknown to our friends there Red Mahouly has told briscoe of the diamond deposit and briscoe who had explosives in the hold has begun to remove the Debris which blocks the mine to seize the diamonds for himself as the fall parrot approaches Galto Island The sound of explosions is heard and our friends hastily cast anchor and raw shore We now find Captain Dalton Ezra Grange, Dickon, Johnny Robbins and Sue Grange ashore talking over this baffling new problem Blow me down Captain Dalton, then it goes again Hi, Dickon, there's no mistake in it now that Blaston's coming from the mine somebody else is trying to get at our diamonds Well, who could it be? There isn't anybody else left on the island since you took old Ezekiel Kip prisoner You're forgetting one swab We've always had to keep a weather eye on Sue Red Mahouly, but look here Captain I thought you and Dickon saw Mahouly caught in Kip's old cabin when it caught fire and caved in I mr. Grange so we did but we have no proof he was killed Hi, I captain that Mahouly Wallace is as tough as I had of a bloomin' grampus He's closing around somewhere not much the worse for the blow his weathered you may later that Dickon, what's a grampus? Why Lassie grampus is a killer whale one of the strongest and fiercest animals in the seven seas He lives for killing he'll kill anything that swims and he ain't worth a bit of good to anything So the whalers seldom catch him. That's not a bad description of Red Mahouly tough for murderer at heart and absolutely worthless We're wasting time eighties. We've got a set out for the mine and see what's in the wind It's lovely be dangerous, isn't it? We might walk into a trap. That's the chance. We've got to take mr. Grange Mr. Wainwright remained aboard ship Buscarus taking charge of the cabins ashore here again Nicholson supervising the bringing of the explosives ashore that leaves jowat free mr.  I'm coming too then captain my George I've got to see what's happening to the mine captain since I'm part owner of the mine I think I ought to have a right to go along too then why can't I go to now hold on a moment You can't run risks all the time and come out on her mr. Grange Johnny does have a right to see what's happening to his mine But I've asked now sue and Johnny you can follow along if you stay behind the men But the minute we cite trouble back you go that's orders. Yes, sir. Captain Dalton. We'll do just as you say very well Joe it are your men all set. Aye aye sir picked an arm to the table come ahead then full speed ahead We'll head through this underbrush to the mine So that you're blowing pelican you want to give us away keep all required dick and we don't know what lies ahead Captain I can't understand who could be blasting the mine though Even if red maholy is still nice where would he get all the explosives that remains to be seen I'll admit I haven't any idea the captain do you think No, no that would be too fantastic. What were you saying mr. Grains never mind. It would be impossible I was thinking that somebody else might have landed here and red told them about the mine That sounds possible enough mr. Grains that does yes, but this part doesn't I thought there might be a chance It could be dirt briscoe. Let me do your order. That's not as impossible as you may think Look he's right ahead Listen, listen cheering that must mean they're down to the mine itself But that sounds like a lot of man you sharp ears Johnny blow me down It seems we've run afoul of a whole crew Right here is the little you with the mine on top betting down the hatch captain look We built a best worker on the mine blew me down. They've hemmed themselves in like a fortress Look out captain. There's a man up there at one side of the hill who sees us He's aiming his musket up to the ground Look out going inside the best way to warn the men captain. Look somebody's sticking his head over the mound It's it's dirt briscoe. You were right mr. Grains I'm warning you your bloody pirates will swing it from the yard on before your cost is done You can stow it that talk will get us no place. We've got to do some quick thinking Pull me down. There's only one thing to do as I see it. I've got to take the chance Will you give me a white kerchief mr. Grains? Yes captain, but they can hand me that branch lion over there So I told you and Johnny to retrace your course back into the woods that we ran into trouble. I meant that Now I'll lash the white kerchief to the branch with this bit of line You're making a flag of true, sir, but why never line dicken there Dirt briscoe well, I'll be blown. It is my friend So sorry you wasn't invited to the party you and your flaccid truth clear off this island while you're all in one piece I've asked briscoe. I'll talk terms with you. Oh now you're so you see this flag of truth Will you agree to let me advance alone up to the mine? It may be the old advantage captain You can't go up there by yourself. It's the only way I've got to find out what he's done to that mine if we don't strike some kind of a bargain with him We'll never get anything you can't attack a party of men when they've built a fort around themselves like that one But captain you can't trust the bloomin rough. I'll take that chance every seaman respects the white flag of truth It guarantees safety to a representative of the other side Hi briscoe mr. Grains watch out for all parties till I get back Well, I can't help it, but I think Dalton's making a mistake the white flag of truth is supposed to be sacred There's no ten of what a rat like this go will do white flag or no look captain Dalton's climbing over the parapet. I Don't like the sound of that law for mr. Grains Retreat we might all rush him sir. We all let him do no harm the captain's all done It's no use, mr. Doherty. It'd be massacre if you attack that hornets nest We'll have to go back to the beach round the ball the men and form a quick plan of attack We must save captain Dalton This is a bit hard on me peg leg. I hope a vest it comes with Scott Mr. Grains mr. Grains I was looking for you the boy the girl you mean Sue and Johnny Why they were with us a moment ago speak up. What's happened to him Biscara? She's she's come out of the woods a few minutes back I not pay much attention then she's a both run away again around side of the island and they took some of the Explosives along what are you saying man Sue and Johnny came back and got some of the explosives. Yes Yes, mr. Grains, and then she's a run away again around the side of the island good lord now What's become of them and heaven only knows what's happening the captain's all and I thought you had better sense than that Walking right up here into my hands after the deal you gave me back on a sentient island Briscoe I didn't know any man who sailed the seas could sink as low as you have There's no seaman who doesn't respect the flag of truth the flag of truth be blowed I'm respecting nothing when there's loop to be got and for diamonds I'd murder me own brother for diamonds.  Whatever it is get it over with Dalton You're not going to be injured yet You're going to get the privilege of watching a very exciting scene. You'll be our guest honor That's why I lashed your face in the sea From the top of this rise you can just barely see the beach and that beach will shortly be very very hot Blow me down. What do you mean? Mr. Briscoe, I got your engine fixed just like you told me So help me Captain Dalton and lashed to a tree. Well, if this ain't the chance I've been waiting for for years Mulhooly your dog if my hands weren't tight I'd Briscoe loose this bowling just long enough for me to take care of that bill scum Mulhooly I ask it is only fair there. What do I care about anything being fair? That's certainly my short the right port dirt matey Abash you redheaded walrus. I'm not dirt matey to you. It's mr. Briscoe I am I ain't quite decided whether I ought to pardon you or not for what you did to me years back But mr. Briscoe you says it was all settled we was mates I told you about this mine and you say so it get back to your work on them engines later I'll let you have all the fun you want with Dalton. Hi, sir. Just like as you say, but I can't hardly wait So help me have them and draw them engines up here close to the parapet hollings Where's that blast at first made of mine hollings? Hi, I'm coming Mulhooly get to them and to help you bind that explosive in them canvas bags Hollings you aim one of the engines and I'll aim the other not me. I don't do no a man I don't want no part of it hollings.  I'll tend to you later hollings briscoe you swine. What are you doing? A vast my pretty friend. I always carries explosives in behold it comes in handy in the raids That's how I could mine your diamonds, but here's how I usually uses them see these engines Blow me down. They look like catapults now. You're getting smart Dalton Cannons is expensive and hard to purchase so I had my trusty men make me catapults the best part of me as they make Practically no noise. I put bags of explosives in them Lights them and let some go right into the middle of my enemy. You're not gonna use them on my crew That's right Dalton. We'll let these surprise packages right down in the middle of the beach where all your crew is I don't expect they'll ever know what happened to you. You Briscoe if I ever get my hands on you wouldn't that be nice for you? Well things couldn't possibly be any worse than this briscoe is in possession of the mine Dalton is captured and in great danger and The whole crew of the Paul parrot may be blown up at any moment by one of briscoe's explosive catapults And what's become of Johnny and Sue? Why did they run away with some of the explosives from the Paul parrot? Be sure to listen for the next thrilling adventure in the crews of the Paul parrot your Paul parrot announcer is Dave Ward

I can see flashes little moments, but I can't tell what's real Sorry, I was I was overacting for her. I'm sorry. I gotta play I gotta play Carol Danvers just more subdued more boring I'm sorry. I apologize. It's tough to have zero emotion.  I Didn't want to argue because I knew my Camaro would dominate But you cheated it took a shortcut since when is a shortcut cheating Violates the pre-determined rules of engagement. I definitely don't remember those I don't know what my acting is am I happy am I sad am I angry am I upset what a roller coaster You don't have to worry about emotions Carol Right in this scene, I'm just gonna showcase some of my physical prowess Imagine a song's playing in the background something spicy something lively Maybe no doubt.

She just brought it up and and just touched the panel none of this is in the script I know I wanted to add it.

Ladies and gentlemen, the story you're about to hear is true. Drag Nets.  You're assigned to burglary division.  There's no lead to its whereabouts. Your job? Find it. Committed drama of an actual crime. For the next 30 minutes in cooperation with the Los Angeles Police Department, you will travel step-by-step on the side of the law through an actual case from official police files. From beginning to end, from crime to punishment. Drag Nets is the story of your police force in action. It was Wednesday, December 24th. It was cold in Los Angeles. We were working the day watch out of burglary division. My partner's Frank Smith. The boss is Captain Bernard. My name's Friday. I'd gone across the street to buy stamps for some Christmas cards I was sending out. It was at 9.15 a.m. when I got back to room 45. Burglary. I sat on a table in the squad room and I started to address the cards when Frank walked in carrying a stack of Christmas boxes. Hi, Joe. Hi. Christmas cards, huh? They're late, aren't you? Well, I wasn't going to send them out Monday, but we had that stake out. You ought to get married, Joe. Yeah. It's the only system. Hey, it does all that stuff for me. Laundry, meals, cards. Only system. Might help. What's in your present? Want to open it now? No, I'll wait. I always opened a couple of days before. Why? Well, I'll put you in the spirit ahead of time. I opened Phil's this morning. Who's he? Ray's brother in Denver. He gave me a magazine. One of those funny ones. What do you mean, a comic book? No, one of those funny ones, you know. No, I don't, Frank. Well, some of the pages have holes in them. You look through when there's a picture on the next page. Oh, yeah, I've seen those on the newsstand. There's a cloth pasted in. Cloth? In the ads. If you want to buy a suit, they have a sample right there. You mean you can feel it? Reach right out and feel it. It was one for $200. A suit? Sure. Cloth comes from Scotland. What's it made out of? Solid gold? No, they've got a special kind of gold over there. It's real smooth. Not a gold, Frank. A sheep. Well, a special kind of sheep, then, because a suit costs $200. You going to get one? I told Faye. She said wear the sample. Anything doing? Nothing prior. We're in on that market holdup. They come up with anything? Pound of air, nothing else. I hope it stays quiet. I've got more shopping to do. I finished. What'd you get, Ann? Stationary set, some paper and envelopes, leather binding. Joe, you'll never learn. Well, what's the matter? No woman wants a stationary set. Get her something personal. What's got her initials on it? No, no. You want something more sentimental, romantic. What'd you get, Faye? It's different in her case. What'd you get, Faye? It's a sewing machine. That's romantic. Well, there's no way. Why don't you buy her a catcher's knit? Burgary Friday. Yes, that's right. You have the right department. All right, Father. We'll be right down. No, you can tell us about it there. Goodbye. The old Mission Church, they've had a theft. Collection money? Statue of the Child, Jesus. Frank and I checked out of the office and rode over to the church in the corner of Sunset Boulevard in Maine. The old Mission Plaza Church founded 1781. The year Los Angeles became a Pueblo. The outside was typical early Spanish design, complete with Mission Arches. It was made of adobe and painted white. They called it the Queen of the Angels. The pod race from down in Mexico building, the devout Mexicans in town still attended services there. 10.05 a.m., Frank and I crossed through the courtyard. It used to be the old stable, but it changed all that when it became a mission. Stone masons paved the stable floor and made it a courtyard. They planted grapevines, trees, and flowers. A young priest crossed the courtyard to meet us. He'd been sitting on a stone bench reading his morning prayers as priests had done here for 172 years. We asked for Father Xavier Rojas who communicated with us. We were told he was inside. We entered a side door. The church seemed to glow with hundreds of votive candles flickering on both sides of the altar and the shrines throughout the church. It was empty except for a few people praying. Surrounding the main altar were several old oil paintings and gold frames. The air was heavy with a set of advent flowers. We found Father Rojas up near the sanctuary looking at the nativity scene. He told us about the crib. It was a $70 duplication of the scene at Bethlehem. The parishioners had taken up a collection fort 31 years ago. It was put up every year on December 22nd and taken down after the holy season. It was beautiful. Except that one of the shepherds had lost an arm. The sheep was old and cracked. And the infant Jesus was missing. Father Rojas led us back into the sacristy. I'm sorry to bother you, man. All right, Father. Especially now, the holiday season. We cash our checks, Father. You want to tell us what happened? What you think happened? I discovered the statue was missing right after the 6 o'clock mass. You saved the six? Yes. I started over to the rectory and stopped by the crib. Was the statue there before mass? No. But it was there last night. How late is the church open? All night. You leave it wide open so any thief can walk in? Particularly Faye of Sargent. You say it was there last night, Father? How late? 10 or 11 o'clock. We had confessions. No one saw it after that? One of the altar boys. He says it may have been there. He thinks it was. Did he see it? He's not sure. What's his name? Pardon me. Here's the schedule. You'll find the names for every mass there. Was there a big crowd at the 6 o'clock mass, Father? Not too many. Seven's the big one. People on their way to work. Did anyone stay after mass, did you notice? Not especially. I came back here, took off the vestments. I suppose it was 10 or 15 minutes before I went back in the church. It was empty then? No. People were coming in for the 7 o'clock. Are these the altar boys, James Corneen and Joseph Heffernan? That's right. Joe's the one who mentioned it might have been there. Did you check with the other priest, Father? Before I called you. None of them knows anything about it. Just for a check on the pawn shops, how much the statue worth? In money. Well, that's the point in pawn shops, Father. Only a few dollars. We could get a new one, but it wouldn't be the same. We've had children in the parish, they've grown up and married. It's the only Jesus they know. We understand. And we've had children who died. It was the only Jesus they knew. So many other people have come here as simple people. They wouldn't understand, Sergeant. It would be like changing the evening star. We'll do our best, Father. That's why it would mean so much to have it back for the first mass on Christmas. It's not very long, Father. Less than 24 hours. If anything turns up here, you know where to get in touch with us. Yes. Sad, isn't it? How's that? In so short a time, men learn to steal. Yes, but consider us, Father. Us? If some of them didn't, you and I'd be out of work. 10.50 a.m., we notified pawn shop detail. Frank and I checked out the two aller boys. The first one, James Cornyne, said he knew nothing about the missing statue. The second one, Joseph Heffernan, was not at home. His father said he had a part-time job, but he hadn't gotten in touch with us right after lunch. By 11.30 a.m., we'd run out of book procedure. We had a man to find. Our only clue? He'd been to church, 11.33 a.m. We checked the phone books for the names of religious stores in the area. Two of them were closed. We tried the third. When we got there, the only person in the store was an elderly man sitting by a table. In front of him was a large, beautifully carved chess set. We're police officers. My name's Friday. This is my partner, Frank Smith. Great to see you. Caught me in the middle of a big chess match. Where's your partner? Up in San Jose. We've been playing for years. Same match? No, just two or three months on this one. What I meant was we've been playing different matches for years. I see. You know, we do it through the mail. I send him a move. He sends me one. Must keep you on your toes. Except during the holidays, the mail gets all fiddled up. That's no good. Guess not. Slow things down. That's no good. I like to catch him off guard. You, Mr. Flavin? How'd you know? We never met. Your name's on the window out front. Mr. Flavin, we checked the other two religious stores in this neighborhood. They're closed. That's the best one anyway. 50% European items. We're checking the stores around the Mission Church. For what? Statue of the Child Jesus. Do you have one we could look at? Sure. No, sir. A larger one. You don't want a larger one. Unless it's for a church. That's where you want a larger one. Could we see it, please? It's not my duty to butt in. But unless you live in a big place, this will make your living room all a-killer. Yes, sir. Do most of the people who go to the Mission Church trade here? Good many of them, especially the kids. Why kids? More religious. Well, see if kids aren't more religious than you. Right, be so. That's what's wrong with the world. Oh, I don't mean you're wrong with it, everybody. Yes, sir. What if we could stick to the point, Mr. Flavin? Sure, a lot of people from the Mission Church come in here. Do people ever come in and sell back a religious article? Like a prayer book or rosaries? Yes, sir. Secondhand, you mean? Yes, sir. Now, since I've ever been around, it's silly. Why? People don't have religious articles so they can get rid of them. They happen so they can happen. But if a man had a statue and wanted to sell it, he'd come to a place like this. Sure, but he wouldn't want to sell it. What if it was stolen? No, sir. If a man wants to steal a statue, he'd be crazy or something like that. The only place he'd want to go is where crazy people are. You may be right, Mr. Flavin. I don't know what you fellas are looking for, but if it's somebody who stole a statue, he's crazy and you won't find him. You won't find him as long as you live, or in a million years. That should cover it. We checked religious stores out as far as Van As. We asked the same questions. The owners gave us the same answers, but none of them were as encouraging as Mr. Flavin. Frank and I had lunch and reported back to the office. It was 1.30 p.m. when we started into the squad room. The captain was just coming out. I just checked Frank on lunchroom. We've been out on that theft at the mission. May get some action on the Patterson case. They locate him? I think he's on the bus from Sacramento. Well, that means the Bakersfield police. We'll wait and see. One of you fellas, Sergeant Freddie? He is. I'm Joe Heffner. My father said you wanted to see me. Sit down, son. You didn't have to come in. A phone call would have worked. My father said to get on over. He says that any kid that uses phones is lazy. We want to ask you about this morning. You serve 6 o'clock mass? Yes, sir. I'm senior, boy. So I get to 6. You're senior and you take the early trick? Yes, sir. That way, if you receive communion, you get to have breakfast sooner. Father Rojas says you think the statue was there before mass. I didn't look, but I have a feeling it was there. A feeling? You know, how you have a feeling about something, but you're not sure. Did you stay around long after mass? I put out the candles and hung up my surplus. How long would that take? About five minutes, maybe. Did any of the people at mass stay on? Some always do, especially ladies. Oh. Maybe they don't finish in time. Where else they start new prayers? I don't know. So when you left, there were still some women there? No, sir. That was at first. After I went back to the sacristy, there was only this one man. What man? He comes at 6 o'clock all the time. Do you know his name? No, sir. But he works down in Olive. You know, paint shop, where the paint signs. Could you describe him? Sort of medium, wearing a suit that didn't match. Didn't match? You know, different pants than coat. How about his age? Always pretty old. Take a guess. About 40, maybe. There's nothing particular about him. Then why'd you notice him? I've seen him before. And the bundle, I guess. The bundle? Out in front. I saw him when he was coming out. He had this bundle, and he almost dropped it. How large a bundle? Hard to say. Come on, son. Was it large or small, the size of the statue? About that big. Yes, sir. We located the sign shop. The suspect didn't work there anymore, but we discovered his name was Claude Stroke. We found out where he lived. 225 p.m., we arrived there. It was a hotel for men, mostly old men, mostly down and outers. It was called a golden dream. Police officers, we're looking for Claude Stroke. Hope Claude didn't get in any trouble. So do we, is he in? No. He's got room 307, you can check if you like. He'll take your word. Were you on this morning? Hm? Yeah, the early shift. Well, we don't have shifts. My uncle owns the place. On the shift? Did Stroke spend last night here? Came in about 11. When'd he leave this morning? Around six, maybe before. He'd come back after? Made a clock or so. Then left, supposed to be back at 10. And pulls this trick. What trick? Our program. He knows the other fellas need him. Program? They're here at the hotel. Every Christmas, we have a program. Put up a tree and sing. They're mostly old fellas. Singing like that makes them remember back when they were kids. And Jimmy Finn comes on. Jimmy Finn? He shares number 409. His family wants to have a lot of money, so he tells the fellas about it. Stories about Christmas. How they had this big log, and his grandfather used to start it up. After dinner, everybody turned over his plate, and there underneath was a $20 gold piece. A brand new one. When Stroke came in this morning, did he have a bundle? I didn't see him come in. You said you saw him. I saw him go out after, but not come in. When was that? Eight. If you want to look for a bundle, I could give you his key. We don't have a warrant. It's all right. I know about police. It's all right with me. It's not with us. I didn't mean that. I just meant it was all right with me. Good King Wesson's lost look down On the feast of Stephen When three old men We couldn't tell how much better they would have been with Stroke singing the fourth part, but somehow you didn't care. It was Christmas at the Golden Dream, and it sounded fine. That night, though the cross was cruel When the poor men came in sight Gathering winter fuel This is the last rehearsal. I got most of the songs down pat. Sounds pretty good. That's why it's a shame Claude isn't here. He's tenor, and they need him to make it sound just right. Does Stroke have a job? No, sir. He used to have jobs. Not much lately, though. Where's Bourne? No, he should have. The fellas need him. But he comes every day. Call us. Sure, and not say anything to him. That's right. I hope it's nothing serious for Claude. The fellas' trouble ought to be over. Troubles? Way back wouldn't count. Tell us anyway. Well, I don't know much about it. As much as you know. Now, come on. Well, something back where he used to live Robbed somebody or something. What else? That's all. It was a long time ago. Way far back. But he forgot it all, the robber and everything. No, not quite. He remembered it this morning. We went back to the office and ran Stroke's name through R&I. If he'd been booked anywhere, we had no record of it. At least not under that name. 4.15 p.m. Pawn Shop detail reported back. No object resembling the statue of the child Jesus had been turned in. 4.18 p.m. I hung up the phone. Patterson's on that Sacramento bus. I thought Baker still had it. They were supposed to confirm. They did. Off work station. What about Panning and Pryor? They're still out. Well, he'll be back soon. When's the bus arrive? Six o'clock. There's plenty of time for him to make it. There's more time for you. We're still in that theft. Can't it wait? No. What is it? 10, $15 statue. When's the price determine a case? I realize it's a church statue, but that doesn't give a priority. It's important to them, Captain. Jill and I promise to get it back. What do you got on him? Nothing much. And why are you so big-hearted? Burgary Friday. When? No. Don't say anything. No. Right. Claude Stroke, he just walked into the hotel. He's our suspect. Nobody's leaked to him? No. You'll keep. You can run him down tomorrow. It'll be too late then. I need it for the first mass in the morning, Skipper. It's kind of a big thing for them. I'm sorry. I can't juggle details around so you can get a statue back. If this time later on, we'll do our best. Yes, sir. You better get over to the station. Yes, sir. Will you call Father Rojas over at the mission? Why? Tell him we're too busy to work on that statue. Well, we'll do it later. Tomorrow? Or when we get the chance? Why can't you call him? Well, we better get over to the station. If Patterson's on that bus, we don't want to miss him. All right. I'll call him. Ready? Yeah. I can send Fanning in prior or he might as well stay on that other thing. Whenever you say, Captain. You are listening to Dragnet, the authentic story of your police force in action. It's 4-3 p.m. We arrived at the Golden Dream Hotel. The desk clerk was right. Claude Stroop looked like a man who did his troubles at bargain rates. Your name, Claude Stroop? Yes, sir. Police officers. We'd like to talk to you. I didn't do anything against the law. Honest, I didn't do anything against it. You haven't been accused. I want to take you downtown. We'd like to talk to you. No, sir. I'm not going. I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going to talk to anybody. You're half wrong already. 5-15 p.m. We returned Stroop for interrogation. He kept his word. He refused to talk. 6-05 p.m. Frank called Fay. Told her he'd be a little late. Stroop didn't move for a whole hour. He sat and stared, but he didn't talk. 6-40 p.m. We got a final report from pawn shop detail. The shops were closed. There was no statute. Stroop still hadn't talked. Don't you ever want to go home, Stroop? If I was to talk, he wouldn't let me go. Depends on what you'd say. I'd say it wrong and I wouldn't get home. You won't this way either. I'd like to go. You can bet on that. This is the seventh year we had the program and I never missed a one. And a single one. Why don't you tell us what happened, Stroop? How would I know you'd let me go? You wouldn't. I might as well anyway. All right, what happened from Mass on? Well, there was Mass. I came out and started down toward the hotel. Back up. I left my stuff at the hotel and then I picked up George's car. I didn't steal it. He said I could have it anytime I wanted. Only this time I didn't ask him. I took it and started off. Well, I should have asked, but I just didn't. I went over to Grand Avenue for the Christmas bulbs for this fellow sells in secondhand. It was coming out of the lot that I did. Yeah. The bumper must have caught the other car. It didn't leave too big a dent, but there was this long scratch. I got out and tried to wipe it off with my handkerchief. You know, spit on it like. Well, I didn't do no good. I didn't think anybody saw. I don't know how you fellas found out about it. I'll check out our records. Right. Strick, we didn't bring you down here to talk about that. You didn't? No. There's a statue missing from the church, a statue of the child Jesus. You mean I took it? You took a bundle out of church. Yes, sir. That was my other pants for the program tonight. I had a place sewed up and there was a button on it. You can check. But I wouldn't take the statue. I don't think you would either. He's clear at auto records. One hope. For the program? You mean it's all right? Good night, Strick. I don't know. We could stay and work on it tonight. Wouldn't do any good. We won't find it. I don't think so. Tell your kid and the priest. Build his hopes up. As we'll go tell him now. 7 27 p.m. We found Father Rohas. Frank told him how it was that we couldn't get the statue back by morning, but that we'd keep trying during the week. He said he understood. We told him we had to get on. As Frank and I started to leave, the doors at the main entrance to the church opened. It was a good 200 feet away. It was hard to be sure, but it looked like a small boy drawing a bright red wagon behind him. When he got closer, you could see he was no bigger than a pint of milk. He was a luminous-eyed little Mexican boy with a face as young as yesterday. The priest seemed to know him. Paquito? In the back of the wagon was the missing statue of the child Jesus. He picked it up gently and walked up to the priest. Father Rohas? He just stood there looking up at Father Rohas. It's Paco Mendoza, the boy from the parish. Ask him where he found it. ¿Dónde lo encontraste? No le encontré. Le cogí esta mañana. He didn't find it. He took it. Why? Every year, Paco prayed for a red truck. This year, Paco prayed to Jesus. I promised to Jesus the first trip in my little truck. He says all through the years, he's prayed for a red wagon. This year, he prayed to the child Jesus. He promised that if he got the wagon, the child Jesus would have the first ride in it.  That's your department, Father? We crossed over to the sanctuary with the help of Father Rohas, the young boy replaced the infant Jesus in a triteful place, the crib and the nativity scene. Frank and I could have been wrong, but a small plaster statue seemed to approve. Mary, Joseph, the wise man, Gaspar, Melchior, Balthazar, the old shepherd, the young shepherd, the peasant, they all seemed to approve. Vuelve a tu casa paquito. The priest told the boy to go home. He took hold of his wagon, started the long walk out of the church. There wasn't much we could say. There wasn't much to say. We just stood there and watched him go. Halfway up, he turned to look back. And he went on out. I don't understand how we got that wagon today. Don't kids wait for Santa Claus anymore? It isn't from Santa Claus. The fireman picks old toys and give them to new children. Paquito's family, they're poor. Who just heard is true. The names and locations were changed. You have just heard dragnet, a series of authentic cases from official files. Technical advice comes from the office of Chief of Police W. H. Parker, Los Angeles Police Department.


Hey, this is Charlie Kina. We just wrapped up a two-day event, the 8% Nation 12 Counts. It was the first event and I got to tell you Cody and Lauren didn't absolutely else do any job. Like literally people were engaged, packed the house, Nissan Stadium. Their crew was absolutely fantastic and the speakers were second to none. We had Grant Cardone on stage today, Coach Burke. I had the pleasure of speaking. Gosh, who else? Chuck McDowell. Like industry experts, people left energized and more importantly, people left with the tips, strategies and techniques so they could have a mindset, the mission and the moves to generate millions. Cody and Lauren definitely delivered on their mantra and everybody that was here, thank you for coming and those that weren't here, you better be here next year for the second annual 8% Nation 12 Counts.


I'm just going to push the garage door button opener and we'll watch the roof roll off and we can go inside and take a look at what we've got. Hey everyone this is Nico from Nebula Photos. My friend Jay Satelano has recently built his dream roll-off roof observatory in his yard in rural Pennsylvania. Jay was kind enough to invite me over for an observatory tour to explain its design and I'm sharing that experience here on YouTube in the hopes that it helps others with their home observatory builds. What you're looking at is kind of a ready-made observatory. There is a company down in Ackman, Pennsylvania, Sulfis is the name of the company. Mine was the first that they had ever done by actually adding a warm room onto it so we actually went through the design phase with them to add the warm room to the observatory itself. We walked about talking about how we were going to do two piers. Each of the piers is isolated from the original floor that was poured, the concrete floor that was poured. There's about an inch spacing between the piers. Any of the wiring that runs through is all encased in a plastic housing so that if any critters get in there they won't be chewing through cables hopefully. There's an interesting story about how we did the piers themselves as far as those bolts that you see sticking up. Instead of just using the standard j-hooks that you'll see happen in a lot of observatories, one of the contractors was also a welder and so what he did was he actually used those threaded rods built a cage with rebar and those went down almost two feet and we sank that into the concrete. This is one of the actual forms that I used to do that pier, pardon the scratch outs and so forth but what we did was my wife and I came out at night before anything was poured just when the columns were in and we marked out where north was going to be and where south was going to be. We put notches so that we could see and those notches aligned with the edges of the piers. So on the outside of the piers we put where north and south was. We put levelers in there and then when the time came we attached this to the cage. We sank it down into the cement aligned north and south and that's how we pretty much got everything level and pretty much lined up with north and south to begin with and so these became really invaluable to working with the piers and setting them in the concrete. Sorry for the noise but as you can see a roll is pretty smooth. Even at three or four o'clock in the morning I haven't gotten any complaints from the neighbors as far as the roof closing or opening. One of the things that you see in a lot of observatories that are roll-off roofs is the older way of doing rolling which is to have the angle iron sitting on top of the roof itself or on top of the building itself and then you would have those large three or four inch rollers that have the indentation and that's how you would do the rolling. One of the things about those is it can be really really hard if one of those wheels tends to go bad or one of those wheels locks up it becomes really difficult to try and change that out fairly easily. One of the things about this is these are garage door opener wheels. Each wheel can hold about 110 pounds. There's 22 on each side for this roof. The roof weighs about six to seven hundred pounds so the beauty is if a wheel goes bad as you can see underneath there's only a couple of screws that are holding it in place and I can drop that whole wheel assembly out replace it with one of these that Nega was just filming put it in and I'm back in business and really the only out time that I've got is how long it takes me to take a few screws out of the top and then like I said you're put in the new wheel if one of them happens to get a little bit tied up. So again something you think about as you think about how would I improve upon things right how would I work with things um what you're looking at is the construction that they used it's actually built by the Amish community the company again that that works out of Aqua and again Stolfitz they hire people from the Amish community to actually do the construction and if you've ever seen anything that that you know that their history in terms of bond raisings and so forth they are excellent excellent carpenters and so they bring that trade into building this the company itself did a lot of this with storage sheds that's what they were their primary business was um but they branched out now into these observatories and have really really come a long way um we have people I've had people here to look at the observatory who are considering one for themselves from Maryland from Maine from other areas that um that what just want to see before they actually you know purchase one what's one of the ones that looks like when it comes out um they deliver all over the northeast they do um and um I have some videos I'm not sure if Nico's going to include them or some pictures it was an amazing delivery um the floor was already poured the concrete pillars the bases were already in before the building actually came and the building comes off of a truck um and then at that point they have this remote control radio control whatever you want to call it forklift and they are actually able to roll the entire building make adjustments as much as like a sixteenth of an inch with this huge building sitting over the floor that's been poured and over the concrete pillars as you can see that were already in the ground and so the holes that were cut at the factory how well they aligned those holes up to match the concrete pillars that that were already poured and in the ground that was that was the part that amazed me is that the entire building rolled over the top of those and was set down perfectly in place so you mentioned you you know you've seen friends observatories you've thought a lot about this over the years so you've already put in a lot of like collected wisdom into this design is there anything that's been unexpected that you you know you regret or anything that's come up we tried to do as much you know as possible you see the you see the tree line around you know and you and I talked about this a little bit offline um my wife and I actually came out and we used poles right that we cut to height of where we knew the roof was going to be so that I could actually see from where the observatory where the mounts were going to be what my line of sight was going to be to the trees so that's one thing that I don't think people necessarily think about is the line of sight over the top of a roof right um and you need to right because the worst thing to do is find out that you built the walls too high and you've lost 10 degrees of the sky right yeah in terms of the wall height what what do you think so other than what you're saying about you know losing sky what what do you think the other consideration with wall height is is it is it about comfort more or is it about wind or is it everything wind um certainly is one aspect of it um you know the the higher the wall but not too high the less wind you have I mean you know even with this little breeze that we've got today right you go inside the observatory and there's nothing I mean you won't feel it at all so so that's helpful one thing I would have thought about possibly I've seen some of those south facing walls that fold down to give you a little bit more but when I looked at those and the amount of time that you're actually having that south facing wall open for imaging you're running into the corner of the building fairly quickly right you know so you maybe you get an hours worth of acquisition out of it right but it just didn't seem to make sense to add that much complexity onto that side of the of the building right you know sure um so again I think that the best thing to take out of this is is that as you expand the series now um of different people doing observatories different ways everybody should tune in and see what to pick out the best for them right whether you build it yourself like we talked about there wasn't anything here that couldn't be done by myself it's a time cost of money kind of a thing and you know who's going to help me raise a roof who's going to help me with rafters so on and so forth um versus having somebody build it and then just roll it right onto your your pad one of the things that you know that we like to that I like to do is you want to kind of personalize the observatory and I'm getting to the point now where the walls are partly up and I can start to do that um visit errata um happens to be one of my most favorite poem um one of the ones that always resonated to me was there's a line down here that says um you're a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars and you have a right to be here and in fact that line child of the universe resonates with me so much but that's the name of the observatory uh in latin I converted child of the universe to puerre university um which translates in latin to child of the universe and so my image is now that when they come out or all pointing to the observatory named puerre university um so again this was kind of special as well because my wife knew that desert errata was my favorite um kind of thoughts in life and uh one of the things she did once we had the observatory up and running where she got me this uh canvas of desert errata so a nice personal ad and a nice thought from my wife as well so this was the second video in a series I'm doing you know obviously touring other people's observatories and my hope is that eventually I'm going to use all of this knowledge that I'm gathering from other people in designing my own observatory and that's the long-term plan but Jay was amazingly helpful in that um as you could see he had tons of cool tips like the template for the piers and describing using poles to visualize how high the walls should go uh considering the tree line just tons of really cool ideas I'd never heard before I think my biggest takeaway was that I think roll-off roofs are superior to domes at least for me it actually cleared up a bit the night I was there and being in the observatory completely under the wide open night sky I just really don't think you can beat that experience so I'm keeping an open mind but roll-off roof is definitely what I'm personally leaning towards I want to put in a quick plug here at the end for my patreon campaign videos like this one where I'm traveling to do an observatory tour take time and money to produce so I'm very grateful to everyone who is able to support me on patreon as it allows me to make videos like this one and in addition to helping support the channel there are some real benefits for signing up I think we're building a great community now over 700 people over on patreon both through the monthly zoom calls and on the discord which is like a message board where we do challenges and group projects and people have really great discussions in both places on the zoom and on discord you know everything related to astrophotography is covered so if you like my videos and you could pitch in just a few bucks a month I'd truly appreciate it the link is patreon.com slash nebula photos till next time this has been nico carver nebula

I was a communist for the FBI. Starring Dana Andrews in an exciting tale of danger and espionage. I was a communist for the FBI. Many of the incidents in the story you're about to hear are based on the actual records and authentic experiences of mathematics. Who for nine fantastic years lived as a communist for the FBI. Here is our star Dana Andrews as mathematics. I spent nine long years living a lie. A lie called communism and it was a frightening experience.   I didn't do it because I knew that at that time you wouldn't believe me. The lie had been told too well. You better believe me now though Mr. or you may wake up some morning living or dying that same lie. The lie called communism. In a moment listen to Dana Andrews as mathematics under cover man. Here is Dana Andrews as mathematics under cover man. This story from the confidential file is marked the kiss of death.  Even a communist for the FBI.  Fight upon that the Central Committee is getting a constant stream of reports on what you do who you see even what you eat. It's party discipline self enforced by fear. I have a date with an FBI agent and as I walk to the meeting place I'm haunted by the sense of being followed for no tangible reason my heart beats faster and blood pressure pounds in my temple. I duck in and out of our cave checking my back. I see no one that I recognize. Still I'm out of breath when I round the last corner and find my FBI contact waiting for me in the car. After a last look over my shoulder I get in the car beside him and we take off. Think someone was following him that I always think someone's following me nothing new. Nothing spectacular anyway we had another cell meeting my last report getting more frequent I think yeah but nothing's happening nothing of any great importance at any rate but this last meeting we took in three new members and were notified of another special assessment. There have been a lot of assessments lately haven't there. Yeah they've all been ordered by the State Central Committee instead of by a national headquarters state. Any indication of what they're for. If they're building up a war chest they may be going to back some candidate against Senator Stewart. Oh he's too strong they wouldn't waste the money. The fact is they seem to have given up on Senator Stewart. Well the words come down to lay off the character assassination and they have a new idea they think is better. They never give up on any man in public office who has done them as much damage as Stewart had. Probably right. Check into the reason behind these special assessments Matt. Maybe there is something spectacular cooking. I asked Johnson to let me out of the car several blocks from home so that I can get some exercise walking. As I walk I think that no matter how much I think I can't connect the special assessments with Senator Stewart. Back in my room I give up thinking and stretch out on the bed I'm about to doze off when I knock at the door sent me to my feet. It's comrade Hobart my cell leader with a message that will eventually lead me to the reason for those special assessments. Sorry to disturb your red comments of any part I wasn't asleep. I'm eating at my house tonight. I hope it's more important than the last two or three comrade Hobart you are not tiring of party activity comrade. No I'm glad to hear that. I'm tiring of party inactivity. I should have known. There are plans in the making comrades of etiquette which should satisfy even your craving for action. What are they coming. I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to the vault of them even to you until they're complete. However. Yes I can almost promise that they will be complete before tonight's meeting. Be sure to be there. I'm at the meeting all right long before anyone else arrives except comrade Hobart and it's his house. I don't learn anything about plans strictly a routine meeting as far as I can see a couple of comrades report on their activities in various front organizations but I hear nothing that sounds like new activity and I don't until the meeting is adjourned and the members are leaving. I'd like to have you wait until after the others have left comrade Static. Okay it'll be a couple of minutes before they're gone. Why don't you wait for me in the kitchen. Anything to say. Comrade Corbin did you know that the others were leaving. I hope they were. I was asked to wait for comrades to make. Any ideas to what it's all about.  Maybe not as much. I couldn't even guess. And wouldn't if you could. Others are gone comrades we can be on our way now on our way. Where are we going comrade Hobart. We're driving to the state capitol for a conference of the state Central Committee right now immediately comrade Static I received a phone call just before you arrived this evening advising me that the plans I mentioned to you are complete. Tell us what they are comrade sorry comrade Corbin I don't know the details. I know only that they involve senator Stewart and that once they're set in motion no one not even comrade Static will have cause to complain about lack of activity. All I can think of as we get into comrade Hobart's car and drive to the state capitol is that Johnson my FBI contact of that afternoon was right. I want to call him and congratulate him but there's no chance not even when we get to the capitol Nordstrom the chairman of the state central committee has waited up for us. He gives us the word and sends us back home that night.  There's less chance of our being spotted by the FBI at this time comrade Corbin but if the plan is to make it right comrade the essence of the committee's plan is timing premature exposure would ruin everything. You like the idea comrade Static. I think it can be very effective comrade Hobart very effective. However as you just said premature exposure would defeat us completely completely comrade. That is why the committee took the precaution of having us drive to the capitol at night and gave the details of the plan only to us three no one else will know no one but we're to use other party members we will tell them what to do not why they do it. In that case the details of the plans that leak out one of us must be guilty. Obviously comrade Static. Well why this side comrade relief I guess common knowing that we needn't worry about betrayal it would be extremely unpleasant for anyone who betrayed this plan comrade it is the perfect formula for giving senator stewart the kiss of death. If the central committee's plan works it is the perfect scheme for eliminating senator Stuart from public life. In fact if it is not exposed prematurely it can be used against any political enemy of the communist party and only three of us comrade Hobart comrade Corvin and I know the details as soon as we get back to our city I call the FBI and report but Johnson can give me no help the moment this is big math I know that too big for any snap play it by ear until we have a chance to try and formulate a counter scheme that can be used without exposing you any suggestions not except to redouble your usual caution I'll get back to you as soon as possible. When Johnson hangs up I feel more lonesome than ever I hang around my room hoping you'll contact me before I have to go to comrade Hobart's house for another meeting but he doesn't and the tension begins to build again only three of us know the plan not many to share the suspicion that the plan is upset I wonder if anyone saw me going to that phone booth or come out or overheard me talking to the FBI by the time I get to the meeting that night I'm jumping a shadow and the meeting is in progress and now comrades we come to the real purpose of this meeting consideration of senator john stewart in our efforts to eliminate this vicious enemy of the world's democratic and peace loving people we have suffered a serious defeat spurred by pandering editors of the captive capitalistic press the stupid bourgeoisie has closed their eyes and ears to any criticism of senator stewart now he is running for redomination facing his campaign almost entirely on his reactionary opposition to communism at the moment it appears to be impossible to defeat senator stewart in the usual way therefore our brilliant leaders have evolved the plan which will permit us to use senator stewart to this end our cell has been ordered by the state central committee to join forces with our enemy comrades comrades committee please join me here I want you to tell the comrades what it's expected of right if you quiet down I'll give you your orders in the first place we're not joining forces with senator stewart for the purpose of putting him in office but senator stewart belongs to one of the major political parties I don't see how we can possibly hope to capture an organization on that side it isn't necessary for you to see comrades in fact my advice is don't try better brains than yours or mine have worked out the details of this plan and if each of us follows his orders unquestioningly we cannot fail I accept the review comrades dramatic what are our orders so that's better the first thing each of you will do is to register as members of the senator's political party if you're registered in another party change your registration tomorrow your next move is to join the ward club of the senator's party in your ward and work hard for the renomination of senator stewart this will defeat sword comrades dramatic if you follow instructions and work hard enough comrade we'll not only defeat senator stewart we will have proved a weapon we can use successfully against any reactionary who opposes communism andrew starring as matt sabatic and I was a communist for the FBI and the second act of our story this point of a dictatorship is that it gets things done of course rights are obliterated property is confiscated citizens are imprisoned and executed without trial but things get done the dictatorship exerted over members of the communist party even here in america no exception to that rule two days after they received their orders every member of our cell had registered as a voter in senator stewart's party and meeting with comrade corvin and myself cell leader hobart reports that the state central committee is pleased the committee is satisfied with the manner in which we have executed the preliminary step of the plan comrades I now have orders for the next step the committee has furnished you with details comrade they gave us an overall plan comrade sabatic the details have been left to the three of us first there's a matter of timing the committee wants the exposure to be made on the day before the election that will allow every voter to hear that senator stewart has been actively supported by party members and there won't be time for them to hear his denial that's right now whenever pays attention to denials anyway people are much more interested in scandal some newspapers discovered that a long time ago the next point is perhaps even more important than the matter of timing the method of exposure I've been wondering how we were going to handle that without tipping the whole scheme the committee has a scheme brilliant in its simplicity if we can work it out that's your if for the committee's comrade hobart nine comrade corvin the committee permits no ifs what's the plan one of us is to establish contact with some important member of the group in senator stewart's own party opposed to his renomination after gaining this person's confidence will furnish him with documentary proof of senator stewart's communist support and permit him to make the exposure that's how we should establish this contact summit over that comrades of eddie is a detail that the committee has left to us I want the assignment of making this contact because this is the key to the whole plan but comrade corvin volunteers before I do I try to draw him out on how he intends to make his contact and with whom but he's too cagey and since there's nothing more to discuss the meeting breaks up and on my way home I phone the FBI I'm calling from a phone booth chanting the news is bad the documentary proof of stewart's red backing will be made public to a member of the senator's own party that'll take time to refute that's the plan who's a member of the senator's party he'll make the charges I don't know comrade corvin the unfriendly witness is going to make the contact oh that helps shouldn't be hard to prove what he's up to yeah once we know his contact I don't have an agent available tonight but I'll put a tail on corvin first thing in the morning that should do it in the meantime if there's even the slightest change in the situation phone johnson doesn't wait for me to phone him though the next day as I leave my place the car pulls up alongside me and johnson says get in math quick get chance of picking up so close to home math but this is urgent what happened we can't find corvin what I sent an agent over his place early this morning when corvin didn't show by noon the agent phoned his rooming us and learned that he checked out late last night he must have been suspicious of my questioning something happened under the circumstances mad I hate to ask this because you may be sticking your head right into the lion's mouth but we have to know where corvin is so that we can trail him to his contact yeah I'll see what I can find out johnson good has the bureau figured out its counter scheme yet not yet map it's a tough problem but I understand they're going to decide one way or the other sometime today I'll probably be able to give you the word when you report on corvin when you report on corvin what he meant was if you report on corvin then unconsciously I start thinking of ways to avoid seeing comrade Hobart but when you're a communist for the FBI there's no turning back though I go to Hobart's house he doesn't act suspicious so I leave the conversation around the corvin he's a valuable man comrades of eddy no question about them full of surprises apparently he has an acquaintance and senator stewart's party opposition who just fits our plan as he said so not in so many words however he called me this morning to report that he had his contract and it moved what he moved to when I asked him he said he'd tell me after he completed his mission right now he's developing his contact and avoiding all party members who is his contact obviously someone of importance but just who is comrade corvin secret he didn't tell me and frankly I don't want to know why not well I wouldn't care to share the responsibility comrades of eddy you and I will keep our necks let comrade corvin keep his secret let comrade corvin keep his secret that's the one thing I can't do later that night I meet johnson my fbi contact and while we're driving around the outskirts of town report my lack of progress concerning corvin have you anything else to report the money from all those special assessments made by the state central committee has come back to the cell with interest it's being contributed to stewart's campaign fund I don't miss a bet do they there are no amateurs at the bench at the bureau worked out their counter scheme yet yeah I don't like it and neither will you what is it well it looks as though you're stuck man go on it's a matter of political values if this scheme isn't exposed before the red set the national lose a valuable man from public life and I'm an expendable well I guess the military would call it that naturally we'll give you all the protection possible man when are you going to break the story late sunday from monday morning's papers that way we'll beat the commies by about eight hours on their release sunday thursday night gives me friday and saturday what are you figuring out corvin if I can find out who his contact is the guy he's going to break the story to I can break the story myself oh my phone I'll call the man and tell him that I'm corvin and give him the expose with all the details yeah there's only one thing wrong with the idea man what's that you don't even know where corvin is much less the name of his contact Johnson's right I don't know where corvin is and I don't dare ask Hobart again the tough part of it is I can understand the FBI's position particularly after talking with comrade Hobart's next morning everything is complete now comrade sovetic our workers are publicly identified with senator stewart we have receipts for more than two thousand dollars contributed to his campaign fund and comrade corvin reports that his contact in the opposition camp is beginning to take the base well I hope corvin plays his hand right if he puts out too much bait his fish may bite before we are ready I had that in mind when I told you that I wanted to know nothing about comrade corvin's operation if anything goes wrong he'll take the discipline if anything goes wrong corvin will take the discipline but only if it goes wrong before sunday on sunday it'll be mine I leave comrade hobart to make my check when our party members working for senator stewart and as I check I can fully understand why the FBI has to break the story immediately the workers themselves however don't realize how big a job they've done I still don't see how this can hurt so it comrade sovetic now how can this do him anything but good you'll be told at the proper time comrade sure that's what comrade corvin tells me every day I ask him what goes every day like you he tells me nothing you see comrade corvin every day like a calendar he calls on a fella lives two doors for me bring him into the party I guess like he did me sure uh you live on oak street don't you oak street see there 400 blocks south as quickly as I can without arousing suspicion I get away from the target of comrade and go to the 400 block south on cedar for five hours I wait to see nothing then in the middle of the afternoon I finally spot comrade corvin going into a house with another man they're far down the block though and I have to get closer to see the street number I keep my eye on the house as I walk so I don't notice anything around me until a heavy hand falls on my shoulder and a voice says what's your name what are you doing here well look officer whatever you have to say you can tell to the desk sergeant for what am I supposed to have done the neighbors complained about suspicious characters larger than around the neighborhood the other one seems to have got away but I'm taking you down to the station I try to break away and make a dash to where I can get the street number of the house corvin enters but the policeman is too fast for me thinking of the way I've had my only chance to save myself from the red snatched out of my grasp I blow my top and I try to fight my way free it's no use the cops a big man and he knows what to do with it beef the next thing I really know is that I'm locked in a cell soar and bruise finally hours later the cop comes back hey you cooled off any mister yeah I'm sorry I blew up can I use a phone well you're lawyer right no just a friend okay and back while I open the door come on out walk ahead of me that way I got over here as quickly as I could man I wasn't quick enough Johnson I kind of got roughed up I had it coming to me but I've forgotten the house I was looking for I haven't met huh after our talk last night I was afraid you might take some pretty desperate chances so I failed you today that cop said there was someone else hanging around who got away me I saw him coming anyway man I got the address and the name of Corvin's contact at a talk with a bureau chief madden he wants you to make the call and prematurely spill the story of the reds and senator stewart that's great Johnson except for one little detail oh what's that first you'll have to get me out of jail the party gave common Corvin full credit for the premature exposure of the plot against senator stewart I don't know for certain what happened to him I only know that he disappeared and that if I hadn't been lucky it would have been mass poetic so disappeared a communist for the FBI is a man on a tightrope and on a tightrope you walk alone Dana Andrews will return in just a moment this is Dana Andrews the technique of communism is the technique of conquerors and would be conquerors since the dawn of history it's the old technique of divide and rule don't let it happen here although to protect innocent persons the names dates and places in this story are fictitious the danger they warn you against is very real next week we'll bring you another strange adventure based on the fantastic experiences of math poetic join us then won't you


Get this and get it straight. Crime is a sucker's road, and those who travel it wind up in the gutter, the prison, or the grave. This time a platinum wrist watch, a body on a lonely strip of beach, and a case of heart failure in a Beverly Hills garage all added up to blackmail, 25 years old, and a killer who would never be caught. It happened like this. From the pen of Raymond Chandler, outstanding author of crime fiction, comes his most famous character in... The Adventures of Philip Marlowe. In just a moment, tonight's story, but first, a message from the Ford dealers of America. The whole country's talking about the great 1950 Ford. Listen to what Mr. Carl Moore of Kingston, Pennsylvania, one of more than 420,000 delighted owners, says about his new Ford. I leave my car out on the street a lot in winter, but you'd never know it to look at my 50 Ford's paint job. It's still as new looking as when I bought it. I'll never stop wondering how Ford can sell a car that stands up so well for so little money. And speaking of getting a lot for a little money, my Ford gives me up to 22 miles to a gallon of gas. Yes, it's hard for Ford owners to keep the good news to themselves. The news about the economy of the big new Ford, from its low initial price to its high resale value, from its low cost of maintenance to its thrift on gas and oil, Ford is a real economy buy. But prove it for yourself. Your neighborhood Ford dealer has the facts on Ford economy, and he'll be glad to have you test drive the big 1950 Ford in your own way. And now we bring you tonight's exciting story, the anniversary gift. We turn left at the next corner, Cabby. Okay. Boy, it's Beverly Hills in the sunny afternoon. It's really something, ain't it? Wide streets, classy homes. Boy, these jokers got it made, some life. Some life. Nothing ever gets to them to bother them except the income tax, maybe. Here it is, mister. 8834 Beverly Road. What a joint. Yeah. Wait for me, huh? Sure, sure, mister. The door was answered by a girl of about 16, a tall, slender girl with dark eyes, too deep for her years. Oh, come in, won't you? I believe dad's expecting you. She led me across a living room as dignified as the lobby of her bank to adore the children. If you'll wait here in the library, I'll tell dad you've come. The library of Stanley Turner, my new client, was as somber as his living room, except for one thing. Over a fireplace that half filled one wall was a life-sized portrait of a woman, a most beautiful woman. Could have been a painting of what the girl who had just left would look like in another 25 years. I was still staring at the picture when Stanley Turner came in. That's a portrait of Margaret, my wife. We lost her one week ago today. I'm sorry, Mr. Turner. Well, we'd been expecting it for over a year. The doctors had warned us, but even when you're braced for a blow like that, it... Yes, I know what you mean. It was her heart, Marlowe. She was coming home from a shopping trip in Westwood last Tuesday evening when it happened. She had her own car and was just pulling into the garage here when the attack seized her. Catherine, my daughter, and I both heard her car hit the garage wall. We ran out and found her. The doctor did everything possible. Wednesday morning, she was dead. I'm sorry. It's all right, Mr. Turner. I must tell you all this because the reason I called you here has to do with Margaret's death. I don't understand. I've got to get Margaret's watch back. A what? A watch? Yes, a wrist watch. It's... Well, I'll try to explain. I loved my wife very deeply, Marlowe. Now that I've lost her, the most important thing in the world to me is the preservation of her memory. Can you understand that? It's natural that you'd cling to things that remind you of her, Mr. Turner. Now what about the watch? It's lost. Somewhere in Camino Beach. You know where that is? Yes, a few miles below Redondo. Yes, that's right. The day Margaret died, I had taken her watch with me to have it repaired. I went down the coast on some business and on the way back, I stopped at Camino Beach for lunch. A place called the Trade Winds. You had the watch with you when you went in? Yes, in my overcoat pocket. I came out and got in my car and was halfway back to my office before I realized it was gone. I've got to get it back, Marlowe. How much is it worth? In cash, about $500. Now it's worth 20 times that. What's the watch like? It's a Benris Platinum set with emeralds. I gave it to Margaret on our 20th wedding anniversary. There's an inscription on the back to Margaret from Stanley with eternal love. I know that watch is somewhere in Camino Beach. Can you find it and bring it back here to me? There's nothing more you can tell me. Unfortunately, that's all there is. I'll do my best, but I can't guarantee a thing. The cabbie waiting outside drove me back to the gas station on Wilshire where I picked up my own car fresh off the grease rack and headed for the ocean and the sunset. It was getting dark by the time I reached Camino Beach. A rickety, salt cake little town jumbled in between the highway and the surf. My first stop was the Tradewinds Cafe, a waterfront shack on spindly lakes standing knee deep in a smelly backwash. It only took 10 minutes to find that there was nothing there for me. After that, I drew a blank at each of the three hawk shops in town. Wand up an hour and a half later, no farther than the sidewalk curb where I watched a traffic cop brand my tire with his parking marker. Plant a heavy foot on my bumper to steady his bike and light a cigarette. I am. Is your car... Yeah. What is it? Am I over parked? Nope, not yet. Just borrowing your bumper a minute, mind? Of course not. Got a lot of scratches already. Say, that's a fancy chalk label you put on the side of that tire there. Z, the Mark of Zorro, huh? No, the Mark of Ziegler. That's me. Just a little thing I worked out there at a personal touch to my business.  Yeah, from LA. Saw you coming out of the pawn shop there. You don't look like the type. Well, I'm not as long as my luck holds. Actually, a friend of mine lost a wristwatch here in town. I'm trying to locate it. Pretty good watches? Yeah, good enough. The really tough part is that it has a very big sentimental value. I've tried all three of the pawn shops in town, but no dice. You know, if I had a friend who'd lost a good watch, I think I'd check in at Sean's Bicycle Shop on Third Street. Well, thanks a lot, Ziegler. Don't mention it. Oh, uh, incidentally, I wouldn't bother to tell him who sent me down if I was you. So long. Hello, anybody there? Hello, Sean? I'm, uh, interested in a lady's wristwatch, Mr. Sean. Just how does that bring you to a bicycle shop? Look, we both know your offense, so let's not waste time on that. The watch I'm after is platinum set with emeralds and has an inscription on the back. To Margaret from Stanley with eternal love. A bright sentiment, I'm sure. Have you seen the watch? No. Look, Sean, either I beat your tongue as limber as the St. Bernard's ears, or you'll accept this $20 in exchange for some straight information. Peacefully. Now, take your choice and take it fast. $20. Kind of a choice as that. But I don't have the watch, Buckle. But you have seen it. Oh, five, six days ago, fellow brought that watch in here, wanted to know what it was worth. I said $500, he laughed in my face. Who was this guy? You mentioned something about $20. Oh, yes. Here. All right, now give. Oh, it's better. His name is Chip Manichee, and summers he works in the concessions in the pier, and winters he's nothing more than a beachcomber. Lives in a little room out in the pier behind the shooting gallery, and that buckle is your $20 worth. It'd better be, Shane, or I'll be back for my change. The amusement pier was deserted. When I finally found the one-room shack tacked on behind the shooting gallery, it was dark and quiet. I knocked once, got no answer. So I pushed a wad of rags out of a broken pane of glass and the door reached in sight, and then snapped a lock and went in. With a light from the one-naked overhead bulb, I started through the room. On a packing crate that passed for a dresser, I found a weak old newspaper clipping that said the body of one Leon Stice of Camino had been found on an isolated beach Wednesday morning, shot in the chest, no apparent reason. Stice was survived by his wife, Nancy, of 320 Front Street. I got real busy wondering why a bum like Chip Menachie saved old newspaper clippings of murder stories when a noise outside turned me toward the open door. What are you doing in my place? You went home, so I came in to wait. You want a cop or something? No, I'm no cop Menachie. The name's Marlowe. Maybe we can do business. I'll get you. I collect old watches. A mutual friend sent me Menachie. I'm interested in ladies' watches, particularly maybe something in platinum with emeralds. Okay, Pally, what's the proposition? Nothing until I see the merchandise, now how about putting it on display? I can't hear you, Pally. Come on, now where's the watch? Don't wash me, Mr. Don't wash me.  Make me a proposition. Ten grand? Ten thousand? You must be out of your mind. Yeah, we'll see who's out of their minds. That's a very valuable watch.  Yeah, maybe I'd better at that. But, uh, Menachie, don't go away, because I'll be back. I won't go away. I know when I'm sitting on top of the pile. As I walked away, a hunch kept whispering to me that the body of a guy named Leon Stice found on a lonely beach was somehow tied in. So I decided to pay a call on his widow. I drove down Front Street to number 320. But there was nobody home. As a matter of fact, the only sign of life on the entire block was a red neon pelican and a blue neon martini glass above the door of a bar across the street. So I walked over and went in. A couple of questions later, I found Nancy Stice sitting alone in the back. The offer to buy a drink was the only introduction I needed. Sure, you can buy me a drink. Hey, Charlie! Okay, Nancy. I, uh, I'm an old friend of your husband's, Nancy. I just heard. That lass didn't have no friends.  Uh, no, um, here, keep it. Mud in your eye. Nah. I got nothing against Leon Stice. Except 25 years of living with him in a Camino Beach rattle or nothing. That's all. Any idea why it was killed? For the role it was carrying. After what you just said, that makes no sense. That's the way it was. I didn't get one red cent of it. I was all gone when I found them. Did you tell the cops he had money on him? Nah. I ate cops. Yeah, sure. Uh, where did Leon get this dough? He told me he ran into an old acquaintance who was staking him. Some guy named Martin Vogel who used to live here in Camino Beach years ago. Martin Vogel was staking him? To what? Leon said him and Vogel was going in business together. The cash was in advance. Oh, sure. He was going to be such a big shot. What kind of business, Nancy? Just between... Just between you and me, the only business that crummy mind of his would work on was blackmail. Take it from me. Hmm. Now, how about another drink for his grief-stricken widow? I'll, uh, leave a buck on the bar on my way out. In just a moment, the second act of Philip Marlowe. But first, a brief message from the Ford dealers of America. From coast to coast, Ford owners agree the big new Ford brings you more for your money. More in comfort, more in performance, and more in economy. But only through personal experience can you appreciate the restful ease of Ford's famous midship ride and the luxurious comfort of Ford's non-sag foam rubber cushion front seat. Only by driving this great car can you enjoy its smooth power and solid rotability. And only by getting the facts about Ford's economy can you understand that so powerful, so smooth-riding, and so beautiful a car can cost so little to buy. To run and to maintain. But see, hear, and feel how much the new Ford gives you. Find out how much it saves you. Yes, before you buy any car at any price, it will pay you to stop by your local Ford dealers, take the wheel of the 100 horsepower V8, or its companion in quality, the 95 horsepower 6. Once you've driven it, you'll agree, the new Ford is the one truly fine car in the low price field. Now we return to the second act of Philip Marlowe and tonight's story, the anniversary gift. I left the Pelican Club, got into my car, and started for the local law on the chance that I could learn something more about the new question mark I'd picked up named Martin Vogel. Ten minutes later, I parked my car under the cracked globe that oozed sick purple light over a weather-beaten sign, Camino Beach Police.   Inside, a small, old man, neat in a clean white shirt, groomed silver hair and a gentle smile, was strapping on a shoulder holster when I put my license on his desk. When I stopped talking, he got up and extended an almost delicate hand. I certainly hope we can help you, Mr. Marlowe. Martin Vogel, you say? Yes, it might have been a long time ago, Captain, maybe even 25 years if he was mixed up with the police at all. Do your records go back that far? Oh, yes, by the apocryte load. And I mean that literally, Mr. Marlowe. You see, in Camino Beach, police files, fixtures, furniture are somewhat lacking. City appropriations only go where they show. Public bird bass, statues of the mayor. Oh, here. This bottom crate here. Mark, let's see. 1921 to 1930. Figure he was arrested along in there, this Vogel? Yeah, if he was arrested. Dusty, isn't it? Well, the cards are alphabetical. And I see, Riker, Rooney, Stimple. By the way, Mr. Marlowe, what's your angle? I'm not sure, Captain, Svensson, Underweatherman. Vogel, Martin. Got it, eh? Yeah, picture and all. Bring it over here in the light. Yeah. Martin Vogel arrested Camino Beach Hotel May 28, 1923 on Warren from Chicago, Illinois, police. Returned to Chicago, sentenced to five years and state penitentiary for embezzlement. Arresting officer, patrolman, Elvin Bush. Hmm, picking him up myself, did I? Well, I've locked up a lot of people in the last 35 years. Yeah, I guess you have it. Holy smokes. Huh? What? That can't be. What is it, Mr. Marlowe? You look kind of pale. There was no mistaking it. The time-yellowed picture of Martin Vogel made it plain. Vogel and my client, the distinguished Mr. Stanley Towner, were one and the same. That meant that Towner had lied to me and, more important, had no doubt killed Leon Stice, who was blackmailing him because he knew he was Vogel. I left Captain Bush piled into my car and pointed it back for the amusement pier, where one way or another I was going to get Chip Meneshi to fill in a few remaining blanks for me. Marlowe, Meneshi, I want to talk business. Okay, Marlowe, looks like I doped it right. I thought you'd come back. Now get up. Now listen hard. I want the watch and the story that comes with it. I told you my price, it's still ten grand. You're bluffing, Meneshi. You know the watch means money, but you don't know why. Yeah, Mr. Wisenheit... All right, now come on, talk. Okay, okay, quit. I'll tell you what you want. I took the watch from Leon Stice. I found him dead on the beach. It was crunched in his fist. And the dough you're spending? Was in his wallet. Come on. Now sit over there, hands in your lap. School isn't out yet. What more do you want, Marlowe? How do you tie the watch in with Stanley Towner? What makes you think I did? The fact that I was sent here to Camino Beach and the fact that you were ready and waiting for somebody. Well... Okay, okay. I was lucky. When I read about Stice and the papers, I also just happened to read another article. An article, you might say. A rich man's wife who got a heart attack in her car just she pulled into her garage. Woman called Towner. Front name Margaret. Wife of Big Shot Broker, also called Towner. Front name Stanley. I went from there. I was trued. Yeah, genius. Okay, now give me the watch. Come on, let's have it. All right, get your mitts, sir. Here. Now you're real happy muscles, happy... Pops. Hey, menace, wait a minute! By the time I got to the door, he was halfway across the boardwalk to his car. But Captain Bush and his sergeant were ready and waiting. When menace was next to the gun, he kept in his glove compartment the spotlight on the squad car, slashed through the dark, found him and froze him in a position. We've got you, menace. You'd better quit. Menace, do you hear me? No, you listen, copper! The windshield sprang into little pieces. That's got him. Come on, Becker. That's him. Captain Bush and Becker were next to the body and had lifted it off the steering wheel. Then I moved quietly along the side of the building as far as the squad car. There, I turned and started back towards them. Hey! Hey, what happened? Oh, it's you, Captain. What brings you around here, Mr. Marlowe? A guy in town told me that somebody named Chip Menace might give me a lead on Martin Vogel. You won't be able to now. That's Menace. What? We wanted him for a week-old stick-up murder. Stick-up murder? The same. Hey, Becker! Did you find the money on him? Right, some 300 bucks, Captain. Good. Well, he's a better cop of the wagon now. Check. Funny thing, Mr. Marlowe, one fingerprint did it. Oh, how's that? That guy on the beach, Leon Stice, found his empty wallet and sand next to him. It had an eyes and glass front over his driver's license with a thumbprint that wasn't his. But it was Chip Menace's, huh? We got on to Menace because he was spreading a lot of door around. Today, Becker got down here and lifted one of his prints. That's sensitive, huh? Yes, that, and a shot he just threw at me. Strictly a stick-up killer who got caught. Marlowe, about this Martin Vogel, you still want to let it go that the Beverly Hills police are going to get in touch? I think so. Good night, Captain Bush. The ride back to Beverly Hills was an uncomfortable hour and a half, cold and empty. I was glad that I had things to do to stop and start and shift gears that kept me from thinking too much about a lot of things and a lot of people I wish I'd never heard of. People like Stanley Turner, who I had every reason to be against, but who I was starting to pull for. Stanley Turner, a man who had started all over again after a single mistake made 25 years ago. A man who had fought to build good things like a comfortable home, a marriage to, to a woman in a painting, a 16-year-old likeness named Catherine. But Stanley Turner, who was also a killer on a lonely stretch of beach far from home, destroying something rotten who would destroy him, a killer that nobody knew about, except me. Well, I pulled into the driveway and parked behind the car that had been Margaret's. As I got out, the light of the garage went on and the side door of the house opened. I felt almost wrong dropping my hand around the 38 in my side pocket. Good evening, Mr. Marlowe. You have the watch? I had quite a tussle getting hold of it. I imagined you wouldn't. Menace is dead, Mr. Turner. Menace? Who is Menace, Mr. Marlowe? The reason you hired me? The man who called you and dangled this bait? Yeah. You were right. It's a beautiful watch, Mr. Bogle. Bogle? You know about it? Yeah, they keep police files a long time. I know about everything, except why you didn't go after the watch yourself. I was afraid. Afraid to show yourself in the town where somebody might remember you, huh? The town in which you had committed a murder, is that it? Yes, yes. That's it exactly. Dad? Dad, is that you down here? Yes, dear. Me, Mr. Marlowe. Why don't you come into the house? It's so late and it's chilly. You'll catch your dad the cold out there. Yes? You know why, dear. Now go back to bed. Good night, dear. Good night, Mr. Marlowe. I will, Catherine. Good night. Do you mind if we go along to the police at once, Mr. Marlowe? I'd rather she didn't know right now. Tomorrow is soon enough. And, uh, can we take your car? Yeah. The lights go off out here? Yes. The switch is on the garage wall over there. Okay. Get in. All right. You know, Mr. Turner, I'm sorry about Catherine and the way she's going to be hit, but... hit by this thing? The switch is there on your right. Mr. Marlowe. Yeah. It was a very nice house. Mm-hmm. Mr. Turner, you certainly loved Margaret a lot, didn't you? Completely, Mr. Marlowe. And her memory, too? Why do you ask? Something that makes me awfully happy. Mr.  Marlowe, what are you saying? That you never lost your wife's watch at Camino Beach. She lost it herself. Lost it when she struggled with Leon Stice just before she killed him for your sake, for you and Catherine and everything you've worked for. No, Marlowe, no, you... Yes. Margaret had a bad heart. She knew she didn't have long to live. Also, she knew that Stice was blackmailing you at figures, Turner. And what also figures is that you'd rather pay for a murder that you didn't commit than to have Margaret's name soiled. Yes, I would, and I will, because you can't prove any of this. Your marriage, the car in which she died on what you said was her return from Westwood. Which it was? No, not according to a funny little chalk mark I just saw on one tire, it wasn't. A little white Z that a policeman named Ziggler in Camino Beach makes to check on parking time. And we can go on from there. Your confession won't mean a thing. But Marlowe, it will, it will, it... No. Oh, I guess it won't. I guess you can't hide the truth very often, can you? No. Only once in a great while. And then, strangely enough, only when it seems like the right thing to do. What do you mean? Why did you stop the motor? There's one thing I haven't told you yet. The way things worked out in Camino Beach, Mr. Turner. The police there think that men as she killed Leon Stice and they're happy that way. They never heard of you or your wife. And I don't see why they should now. I mean that nobody really knows the whole story. Nobody. Except you, Marlowe. Nobody, Mr. Turner. Good night. Thank you, Mr. Marlowe. Good night. Back in just a moment, but first, a word from the four dealers of America. Tonight, there are more than 420,000 enthusiastic 1954 donors and it seems as though most of them are talking about this car. Listen to what Judge Richmond B. Keatsch of Washington, D.C. has to say about his new Ford. I was so satisfied with my 49 Ford that I decided to get a 50 as soon as they became available. I've been more than pleased with the 50. Truthfully, I see no cause to pay more when a Ford gives me all the performance, quiet and comfort a man can ask for at such a reasonable price. The Ford is wonderfully easy to handle, particularly in traffic. Yes, ask any Ford owner how he feels about his big new Ford and he'll tell you it stops for performance and for comfort. But prove it for yourself. Drop into your neighborhood Ford dealers and test drive this truly great car. You'll be amazed when you discover how little it costs to buy, to run and to maintain. Do it tomorrow. Test drive the big new 1954. Be sure and be with us again next week when Philip Marlowe says... This time I was in the country where the night should have been nothing but peace and quiet. But a pair of angry eagles changed all that. One was solid gold and too close to a battered corpse. The other weighed 160 pounds and was too quick with his fists in or out of the ring. The adventures of Philip Marlowe bringing you Raymond Chandler's most famous character, tonight's star, Bill Conrad, are produced and directed by Norman McDonnell and are written for radio by Robert Mitchell and Gene Levitt. Featured in the cast were Sammy Hill, John Daener, Gene Bates, Ralph Moody, Larry Dobkin, Harry Bartel and Edgar Berrier. The special music is composed and conducted by Richard Orant. This is Roy Rowan speaking for CBS The Columbia Broadcasting System.
