From Hollywood, it's time now for...

Johnny Deller.

Johnny, this is Lee Harkins, the Continental Insurance and Trust Company.

Lee, my old fishing pal.

You still holding down the Ohio branch to the company there in Columbus?

Yes, John, I am.

Now, look here.

Well, brother, I never will forget the great fishing you and I had over on Darby Creek a couple years back.

Look, John...

And long about this time, every year the year is really hits to me.

Hey, if the streams cleared up yet from the spring rains?

No, quite the contrary.

As a matter of fact...

How about little raccoon creek down there, Jackson?

Boy, remember those big channel cats in the bath?

Johnny, will you listen to me?

Huh? Oh, sure. I'm all here. The big river has gone on a rampage again. Spring floods. You mean the Ohio?

Yes, and every other river of any size. The rings are still coming down. I see.

Whole towns are being washed away by the flood waters. Death and destruction all over.

Oh, I'm sorry, Lee. I didn't mean to sound so... Well, you know, mention fishing, and I lose my head.

Look, Johnny, I need you out here.

Can you come right away?
