Another journey into the realm of the strange and terrifying.

I hope you will enjoy the trip that it will thrill you a little and chill you a little.

So settle back.

Get a good grip on your nerves.

Where are we going?

You'll find out when we get there.

Thank you. Good evening. This is Jeffrey Byrne. Welcome to the Mollet Mystery Theater, the program that presents the best in mystery and deception.

Tonight's mystery by Walter Dean Newman is entitled,

Talk Them to Death,

and stars Everett Sloan.

It might well have been called

Murder under the Big Pot

since it has a circus locale

and is bright with the color and glitter of circus people.

But the most powerful element of our mystery is its leading character, Nick Arnold,

a strange, ugly little man who discovered that the best way to rid himself of his enemies was to talk them to death.

And now for tonight's Molley Mystery,

Talk Them to Death,

starring Everett Sloan. Oh,

Oh, That morning, I decided to talk to death all those between me and what I wanted.

Words had always been my only defense.

What other defense have you when you're weak and smell and ugly?
