welcome you through the creaking door. Come on in.  Now these cuties went astray because they had no murder to guide them. Naturally his spout is written by Ed Adamson and Bob Sloan and stars Mercedes McAmbrys in the role of Clara with Carl Swenson as Vincent. Here's a nice spot for someone reasonable to just mark down from six to three. Let's get to tonight's terrible day. The night brings. Hardly the breath of air. If death has come to the valley to take us all everything here is dying. Clara this heat is the worst possible thing for you and I've told you before as a friend that you must leave.  Leave. I wish I could but I can't. Well of course you can. I'm going to hold you. You don't know. You don't understand her power. She's holding me here. She won't let me leave. She won't be talking about my sister. Evelyn Evelyn you're not making sense. Evelyn has been dead for over a year. Still she holds me. She's buried in the hillside cemetery. The dead have no power over the living Evelyn has now. What do you mean now don't you remember this. Last year when she died it was like this. The air was still hot.  She always thought I was the woman her husband Stephen was in love with that's why it broke her heart that's why she died. People don't die of a broken heart. I watched her during that terrible hot spell last year. I saw her feed I saw her dry and shrivel and I remember how she looked at me with those eyes every time Stephen came into the room. Believe me this is all your imagination. Now the heat is warping your reason that's why you've got to leave the valley immediately. What do you want. I just thought I'd let you know about it. So many times. You're almost afraid to go down. You should have listened to me. I was afraid to be alone tonight. The doctor is right like me. Sorry. Stephen it's only you. Going up to the grave you can't now half that side of the hill has fallen away. Look at this. You recognize it. Yes. Yes that's Evelyn's diary. One of the workmen found it in the dirt beside Evelyn's casket. That's the diary she always kept under lock and key the one that was placed in the coffin with that's right. Let me see that. Vincent please don't open it because she always guarded it. Her own private thoughts she didn't want anybody to see something in this diary may help us something maybe written here that explain her death. What is it and what's the matter. It's strange there's nothing written on any of the pages. Are you sure. Oh wait. Here's something in the last page tonight in the heat and darkness I will get my revenge from me to people who make me wish myself dead my husband Stephen she didn't understand my sister Clara I have the strength I will kill them both she must have written that the day she died she went to a grave thinking that Stephen and I but if this wasn't written the day she died look today August 15th 1949. That's today. I don't know this time. It means just what she wrote.  Of course she can't Evelyn can't do either one of you harm now not if she's really dead but what if she's still alive if she still had strength right in the diary what are you trying to say.  For why can't I wait for you here in the car. I don't mind going into the house. Minute. That light. In the house. Wasn't it on when you left now. It wasn't on with it. I honestly don't remember I'm not going in there we both may have forgotten about the life and our excitement come on. I can swear I turned that light off when we left and maybe it did maybe she turned it on again maybe Evelyn is in there waiting for us both of you are so frightened that you're not making a bit of sense I told you Evelyn is dead dead for all time please Vincent thought. Open the door maybe. There are you see that no one is in there. All right come on. Even I'll wait here while you get some things together. Clara. Clara what is the matter with you what are you staring at. Well I'm going to go on the table that's yours isn't it now. Then they should. It's Evelyn's car there you see Vincent I told you she's still alive here looking for the Steven she may still be here in the house of place we've got to get away from it.  What did you do I just hit him come on we've got to get away from him before he comes to do you want to die right Steven I'll go with you come back in the garage because we can't use it you'd place us that way but you might be wrong. Can I be you saw the club I never did trust him and Evelyn was so confidential with each other. Watch your step it's dark. We can't stop now what is. Someone is there in the shadows along side the house. You can't see there how do you know that. Can't you feel it in the air. The heat right here is so impressive. I felt something passing in the dark and I heard Steven cry back and then many fell to the ground. Steven is dead. He was stabbed in the heart. And that's the story. Dr. Branson here came out and found Steven stabbed to death. My sister Evelyn killed him just as she said she would in a diary. She returned alive. I love Miss Fleming. I admit this heat's got a so long a whole valley is going to go but I still don't believe in. But I tell you she was here you saw. I could feel it. When she was near the air was hot. I will suffocate it you know it's too hot to argue about goes but about her diary that note was in her handwriting in that glove of hers we found on the table what about that Clara somebody else could have put that there somebody else Dr. Branson why couldn't Miss Fleming sister put it there herself why couldn't she have killed Steven well that is a strange way for a sheriff to talk you know she's dead yes she then what happened to the body well obviously when the earth cracked and the health went away the body was thrown through the car and buried in the dead brain I was thinking doctor maybe the body was never in that coffin and what does he mean I don't know Doctor you took care of Evelyn didn't you yes and I find the death certificate I'm not sure if I don't like the implications that you're making you don't have to like him Evelyn died I have a complete record of the case I kept that record myself that's what I mean it's only your word not entirely there was a nurse on the case until the end no Vincent no don't you remember the nurse was discharged the day before Evelyn died the day before yes yes that's right well Vincent if you're hiding something you've got to tell it to the sheriff now before it's too late if she's alive ridiculous Clara you don't believe that your sister is alive do you know she's alive alright and doctor you know where she is now look here she's committed one murder already and you're going to tell me where she's hiding before she kills her sister you stay away from that phone doctor I'll take it hello what is it with you finally got something on that case good work and I was right she is alive cemetery but to make this identification that's your sister's body yes that's Evelyn okay can I take Clara home now Sheriff yeah sure sure and doctor excuse me for jumping on you that way before yes of course yes the heat got me more on her thoughts in a Caesar's crazy well I'm a long time oh Vincent what am I going to do now no no Clara there's nothing more to worry about aren't you sure that everything's dead she can't possibly hunt you still don't understand only her body is dead she killed Steven she returned from the grave and killed him no Clara you must believe that Evelyn could have had nothing to do with that but Steven is dead then whoever killed him is alive and will kill me whose house is this why did you bring me here are they right Clara don't remind us yeah when the name Lucille Lang and we'll be perfectly safe I don't want to go to the doctor back and good evening this line slang man I know that name from somehow come in this funny and your face I know your face too well of course you do we've met before where do I know you are you'll have plenty of time to talk about that late it's not oh no no I'm not going to stay here tonight but Dr. Brown's an order that you can send please you must do it miss my toes oh no please and take me away from him and I'm doing as I want my name will take the best care of you all right now you get a good night sleep yeah I'd be around to pick up the money good night good night now sit down right there miss Lennie that's it you know the more you move around the way she'll feel the heat yes so they say see how much karma you are already you're not afraid of me anymore now are you miss Lennie I guess now I'm glad I can't be of much help if my patient is frightened of me patient or I suppose you're not really a patient in the strictest sense after all no I know now I remember you're being there I guess I'm the nurse who took care of your sister with a shame to see such a fine young woman die I felt terribly when I heard about all you awful thing how dare you even mention my sister I don't understand you know why she died you know more about it than anybody else I mean Fleming you're just exciting yourself on this I'm near me but I only want to help don't touch me get over here oh what is it miss Fleming love a lot of love love that on the table

me go no you're coming back to the house with me I'm going to take care of you just to Dr. Bronson all the things I'm paying you anything on the line what is it what's wrong it's here again what you're in the dark around I can hear it closer closer I was worried about you can I just need back to make sure that everything is all right what happened I'm calling this line is dead Vincent on the ground there look she was in danger she wasn't she wasn't she wasn't meant to be killed it's so dark out here she was mistaken for me the murder I'm meant to kill me what's taking the police so long

Clara what is the matter with you you heard me speaking on the phone didn't you know I was in the other room you sound as if you don't trust I don't know who to trust anymore I'm sorry but I feel better with the sheriff we're here but you've no reason to be afraid I'm here you're here you're afraid of me yes why why would I want to hunt because you think I know who killed Stephen I'm not sure I didn't see anybody but you and that's where that is what you will tell the police and I want to believe you please tell me you didn't kill them of course I didn't let me call the police all right Clara just to prove a point you will drive over to the sheriff's office come on now you go I wait here for you I wouldn't leave you alone now not for all the world after all is a murderer loose all

moment hello operator operator quick to be the sheriff's office please hurry this is Claref Cleming did Dr. Bronson call your office I knew he was lying there's been another murder and Dr. Bronson is the one who's responsible for both of them you've got to get here before he kills me too sure if he's outside the house where are you at a Miss Land's house at the northern end of the valley just a few yards off Trumbull Road I'm coming Vincent Sheriff please hurry up the lights they've been turned off he when you drop that night I drop it drop it I said you would have killed me too just like you killed Steven Miss Lang I could feel her near me and he was beside me all the time she made me do it but she was my sister I had to happen you called Sheriff Cooper so all the blame would be put on me before you stabbed me no I wouldn't have gone through with it Vincent I could never kill you never but Steven Steven was evil and that lying woman she's the one who took Steven away from Evelyn she's the one who broke up their marriage they took my sister's life it was only fair that there's me taken I suspected you in the way clear that's why I took you here to Miss Lang's house you hid your sister's body and you wrote those words in their diary I only copied what my sister said in her one year ago tonight on a night like this it's on the overheated pen
