Hello. Yes, this is the Balkan speaking. Oh, Norma. I'm glad you call.

Now, you have to include me out tonight, Angel. I'm all jammed up. There's a party around

who's been shown how to parlay a two-bit pocket knife into a killing. So, naturally, he's

going to make a stare about it.

This isn't early, he friends, inviting you on behalf of the craft foods company to listen

to the adventures of the Balkan, Daring West Damon. You met the Balkan first in his

best-selling novels. Then you saw him in his thrilling motion picture series. Now, join

him on the air when the Balkan solves the case of the curious cop.

In just a moment, another thrilling adventure of the Balkan. But first, a word about an

adventure you can have any day in the week, right in your own kitchen. For several weeks now,

we've been telling you on this program about craft salad oil. The wonderful new salad oil

created by craft. That's lighter-bodied because it's super fine. Now, here's a suggestion.

Tomorrow, go to your grocers and get a pint or quart bottle of craft salad oil. Look

up your favorite recipe for homemade salad dressing. If you found cake or anything else

that requires liquid shortening, then that night, tomorrow night at dinner, surprise your

family with an old favorite, made this lighter-bodied, super fine salad oil way. You'll know the

difference, and so will the family. Get craft salad oil.

Now, the case of the curious cop. It's late Sunday evening in New York, and Hunter

is famed gambling club on East 84th as closed for the night. But that doesn't seem to deter

plain clothesman Jack Craven for his partner, Frank Walsh, from their decision to look in

on Mr. Hunter.

Yes, me, Craven. We're wasting our time. You think so, Frank? Yes.
