[A]

Welcome to Choice Classic Radio where we bring to you the greatest old time radio shows like us on Facebook, subscribe to us on YouTube and thank you for [e-mail]. The Adventures of the Saints starring Vincent Price, The Saint. Based on characters created by Leslie Trotters and known to millions from books, magazines and motion pictures, the Robin Hood of modern crime now comes transcribed to radio starring Hollywood's brilliant and talented actor Vincent Price as the Saint. Snow sports who likes ski trains? I'd rather have an old fashioned mountains. I should have stood.

[B]

Hello.

[A]

On the other hand, perhaps not. Hello.

[B]

The seat next to you isn't taken.

[A]

I admire intelligent women. Sit down.

[B]

All right. But I'm not intelligent.

[A]

Oh, you're being modest.

[B]

I am not.

[A]

Oh, I'm sorry. You are beautiful, though.

[B]

I bet you say that to all the beautiful girls you meet. Do you like to ski?

[A]

No.

[B]

Then why are you on the ski train?

[A]

Because of the telegram you sent me.

[B]

Then you are Simon Templar. I kind of thought you looked like one.

[A]

Thank you. Your telegram sounded desperate. What do you want me to do?

[B]

A very small favorite.

[A]

Yes?

[B]

I'd like you to be my husband.

[A]

What?

[B]

Are you married?

[A]

No, but I.

[B]

Well, then nobody will mind. If you're my husband.

[A]

Nobody will mind.

[B]

Look, Peggy, I said only for a while. None of my husbands was ever able to say I outstayed my welcome.

[A]

None of your. Peggy, how many husbands have you had?

[B]

I have a terrible memory. I do remember a Smith and a Jones, though. Of course, they're easy names.

[A]

Yeah. Look, may I ask you why you want me to be your husband?

[B]

Nobody will murder me. You see, if Charlie thinks I'm married to the saint, he'll think twice before beating my brains out. Which would be the neatest trick of the year. He said on account of I don't have any brains. I'm quoting Charlie.

[A]

Who is Charlie?

[B]

He's in the car up ahead with the blonde.

[A]

Oh. Oh, he's a friend of yours?

[B]

Oh, no. He used to be my last husband. I mean, he was my husband last.

[A]

I think I understand. And why should he want to kill you? Alimony that you get from him. It doesn't seem much of a motive.

[B]

It's a lot of alimony. Also, he doesn't like my following him around.

[A]

You follow him around? Why?

[B]

To make sure Vicki doesn't kill him. Vicky, that's a blonde. She married Charlie after me.

[A]

And she wants to kill him.

[B]

Well, who wouldn't? Besides, she doesn't even like him. But she's crazy. About money. And if she kills him, she'll get all the money and I won't get any alimony. So I know a girl isn't supposed to be forward and ask a man to be her husband. Anyway, not the first time they meet. After all, this is a matter of life and death. So. So, Simon, will you be mine?

[A]

Yeah. Here's no valley. Out we go.

[B]

Oh, Simon, look. All the taxicabs are slaves.

[A]

So they are. Climb right in, folks. Oh, thank you. Come on, lady.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

Where to?

[B]

We're going to the Snow Top Hotel.

[A]

Snow Top Hotel? It's a nice lobby. I better go register and register. Look, Peggy, let's pretend we're not married. I mean, let's not pretend we're married to the hotel clerk.

[B]

I'd never marry a hotel clerk.

[A]

Peggy, I didn't mean. Never mind.

[B]

Charlie and Vicki must have gone upstairs already. You think they were on a honeymoon?

[A]

Don't finish that sentence. I'm going to register. I'll get separate rooms for it.

[B]

Oh, but Simon, is that friendly?

[A]

It's practical. Excuse me.

[B]

Vicky.

[A]

Oh, my Gorgio. At last you're coming to.

[B]

What are you doing here?

[A]

Oh, sculpting. Like anything, even snowman. I'm sculpting, but for right now I'm making a bust.

[B]

Vicky, from what anybody can see of Vicki, you'll be busy all winter.

[A]

Sir, I'm having now the studio in the woods. You wishing I make you a bust.

[B]

Also, I'm going to be too busy to be sculptured. Who's it sculpt?

[A]

Oh, Peggy, Don saying that all my life I'm dying for you. You look fine, Pagi.

[B]

Huh?

[A]

Really, Pa, you're a laughing clown. Laughing, that's all.

[B]

Oh, well, I'll think about it.

[A]

What's to think? Peggy is necessary to leave.

[B]

Look, Sergey, I'm married again now. His name is Simon.

[A]

I don't minding the husbands.

[B]

The husbands might be minding you.

[A]

Oh, mine beautiful. What I'm doing with mine chisel is not the business of any.

[B]

Charlie doesn't mind your sculpturing. Making a bar. So, Vicki.

[A]

No, she's not so beautiful like you. Also, I'm not admiring this, Charlie.

[B]

Oh, Vicky, Vicky's calling you.

[A]

I go, but mein heart stays with you.

[B]

You better not leave it here. Somebody might step on it.

[A]

Oh, Peggy, who on earth was that?

[B]

Oh, that was Sergey Popov son.

[A]

I don't believe it.

[B]

Well, it happens in Bulgaria all the time. That's where he comes from. He's got a studio out in the woods. And he's making a bus to Vicki. He tries to do that with all of Charlie's wives.

[A]

I never heard of him before.

[B]

Oh, you must have. He's a very famous chiseler.

[A]

Peggy, I've got us a couple of rooms. Yours is 218. We can pretend we're married for your husband's former benefit. The clerk will show you up to your room in a minute.

[B]

What are you going to do?

[A]

I'm going to find the bar and drink myself to death. 216. 217. Ah, here we are. 218.

[B]

Thanks, Mr.

[A]

Clerk.

[B]

Which room do the Thompsons have?

[A]

Room right next to yours, ma'. Am. And if you need anything.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

You're very welcome.

[B]

Coming. Simon. Simon, where are you? Hiding behind the door.

[A]

Peggy. Peggy. Peggy. What are you doing on the floor?

[B]

There was an earthquake and the hotel fell down and hit me on the head and I'm dead.

[A]

Oh, come on now. Let me help you up. I'll put you on the couch. There.

[B]

And now you can go right back and get my head. You left it on the floor.

[A]

Your head's where it belongs. Seems to be a little too much of it, though.

[B]

That's why the hotel shining.

[A]

Oh, but this isn't the earthquake season. What happened?

[B]

Somebody knocked at the door just after I got here.

[A]

That would be about an hour ago. Go on.

[B]

I stuck my head out and boom.

[A]

Who boomed you?

[B]

I didn't see him. Do you want to boom him back?

[A]

I might enjoy it. But Becky, do you have anything worth stealing?

[B]

Simon, you can believe me. Who steals my purse steals trash.

[A]

Besides, your purse wasn't stolen. It's right here on the table. Strange.

[B]

I'm hungry, Simon. I think getting hit on the head's good for my appetite.

[A]

Well, it may not be good for your head. Especially if the next time you get hit a little harder. How does your head feel now?

[B]

Like it's beginning to belong to me.

[A]

Eat some more steak, Simon.

[B]

Are you trying to fatten me up?

[A]

Of course not.

[B]

Because pop off. I mean, he's a sculptor, you know. Yes, but he's crazy about my figure.

[A]

So am I.

[B]

And he isn't even married to me.

[A]

Look, neither am I.

[B]

You don't have to shout. Even though I did throw myself at your head, it doesn't mean I have to have a figure like a flower sack.

[A]

I didn't say h. Good evening.

[B]

Good evening, Simon. Mrs. Sergey.

[A]

Papa. No, no, I stay here. That's a joke and that's debatable. But. Oh, my beautiful. This One sounds like a husband.

[B]

Well, yes, he's my husband. His name is Simon. He.

[A]

He's her husband. No, don't apologizing also. It's not necessary standing up. I'm being courteous. And I'm not inviting you to sit down. This is a way to treat great sculpture like myself. I, who are the Michelangelo of right now. There's one thing you unquestionably have in common with Michelangelo. My genius. Your fingernails. They're dirty. I mean, salt also. I see Vicki is coming in. Vicki? Oh, Vicki. Yes, there she is. Where's her husband? He doesn't come in with. Oh, why not? Who cares? Maybe. Perhaps he's suffering from dyslap. I should dearly love to see a man suffering from dizzle. Pepsic. Something eat, no doubt you know. Oh, Wickish is coming in. Yes, I've been noticing. Well, that is nice.

[B]

Sergey. Sergey, my love. We've been waiting long. And who is this lovely man? These lovely people you're with?

[A]

Well, she is Peggy. He's her husband. Hi. How do you do? My name is Templar.

[B]

I'm Vicky Thompson. You've lost something, haven't you, darling? Oh, have I? Your husband. I've seen you someplace before. Huh?

[A]

Where?

[B]

In Charlie's photograph album. Oh, you know I am, darling, Charlie's former wife. And I know all about the long winter evenings when Charlie shows his photograph album to his wife. Siggy. I don't think we'd better bother these nice people any longer. Let's go have our dinner. But have you seen Charlie? I see. Well, come along, Sergey.

[A]

Confidential. I do not understand being wiki. Oh, why not? She's worrying about her husband. Ridiculous. I'm seeing you sooner. Huh? Not if I'm seeing you sooner.

[B]

Simon, did you notice Vicki?

[A]

Yes, I did.

[B]

She does that to people. What I meant was she turned pale as soon as I mentioned Charlie to her.

[A]

So she did. Which reminds me, where is Charlie?

[B]

Oh, it's so pretty out here.

[A]

Mmm. Very high type snow.

[B]

Of course, none of my former husbands ever took me for a walk on our honeymoon, but I don't mind.

[A]

Good. It's funny. Charlie didn't show up all through. Didn't he?

[B]

Simon?

[A]

Yeah?

[B]

Would you mind not discussing other people?

[A]

Well. Hey.

[B]

Huh?

[A]

What happened to that snowman?

[B]

Snowman? Oh, he must have melted.

[A]

He was right there on the side of the road. He didn't melt, Peggy, because it gets colder, not warmer in the nighttime.

[B]

I wouldn't say that.

[A]

Peggy, be still. Look, the snow is completely flat where the snowman was and sleigh marks right next to the spot.

[B]

I'm cold, silent. I wonder why are you more interested in that snowman than you are in me?

[A]

Thought he had a kind face. Come on, Peggy. Let's go back to the hotel and get warm.

[B]

I'm going right up to my room.

[A]

I'll take you in. Oh, Simon, I want to make sure nobody hits you on the head again. Oh, but before I do, you know, I'm a little worried. About Charlie, perhaps. Oh, clerk. Yes, sir? Have you seen Mr. Thompson around? Mr. Thompson? Oh, yes. Oh, no. Oh, yes. Oh, no, what? I was merely remarking that I know who Mr. Thompson is and I have not seen him around. As a matter of fact, Mrs. Thompson was asking about him, too. I see. Thank you, Miss Doll.

[B]

What is?

[A]

Things seem to be disappearing around here. The snowman. Charlie Thompson. Peggy, we're not going downstairs. We're going out again to look for Charlie. No, the snowman.

[B]

Simon, any resemblance between me and an Eskimo is no coincidence. Incident. It's alive. I'm freezing. We've been all over town looking for that darn thing.

[A]

There's only a little more ground to cover. We've worked our way around to the back of the hotel.

[B]

I know, but, Simon, finding a snowman in the middle of all this snow, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

[A]

The difficulty of that has always been overrated. There's an easy way of finding a needle in a haystack.

[B]

How?

[A]

You just sit down on the haystack.

[B]

That's the end. What I just said, Simon, it was a joke.

[A]

Yeah, let's keep the conversation on a higher level.

[B]

Simon.

[A]

What?

[B]

Straight ahead, near those trees. There he is.

[A]

Yeah. Doesn't seem to have been damaged much. He's frozen silent. We're about 100 yards from the hotel. And we should have a wood pile here, which is just what we need. Some nice dry wood.

[B]

I need a nice hot bath. What good is wood?

[A]

It burns. I'm going to build a fire.

[B]

Oh, I appreciate your worrying about me, Simon, but it would be even warmer in the hotel.

[A]

I'm not building the fire for once. I'm building it because I want to give that snowman a hot foot.

[B]

Simon, that's a very pretty fire, but why do you keep staring at that snowman?

[A]

Oh. Oh, I'm waiting for it to melt.

[B]

Now, that isn't a nice thing to do to circus work. We begin to melt already. Oh, Simon.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. Now we know why the snowman was moved. Don't they?

[B]

That's Charlie. He was in the snow. Oh, Simon. Is he dead?

[A]

Yeah, he's very dead. Somebody beat his head in. Well, the sheriff will be over in a little while, Peggy, as soon as he gets his galoshes on.

[B]

I hate to think of Charlie lying out there in the snow. He was never an outdoor man.

[A]

Now, Peggy, maybe you better run upstairs to your room.

[B]

Simon turned him.

[A]

It's just that I wanted to get over to Sergey's studio before the sheriff gets there.

[B]

Do you think Sergey killed Charlie and put him in the snowman?

[A]

It's possible. Charlie's death makes Vicki a very rich widow. Sergey might approve of that. I'd like to ask.

[B]

I'll go with.

[A]

No, Peggy.

[B]

A wife's place is at her husband's side.

[A]

But look. Still weird.

[B]

Not another word and I'll marry you right out here in the lobby.

[A]

Never mind. Let's go get ourselves a sleigh. This here is a stupid studio, folks. Oh, Peggy, why don't you stay out here in this lake?

[B]

You don't think all their sculptors have fiends inside of them?

[A]

No, but he might be dangerous.

[B]

I'm coming with you.

[A]

You don't mind if I come, too? A little dark out here. Oh, no, we'd love having you. Come on. Okay.

[B]

Oh, the studio looks like a hunting yard.

[A]

Yeah, the Prince of Graustark should be inside. But he won't be. Let the windows. 3, 4. Covered with snow. You ain't answering too quickly. The door's open. Come on.

[B]

It's so dark.

[A]

Wait a minute. I'll find the lights. What came from that window? Say, what's going on here?

[B]

All right. Hey, that's my slave.

[A]

That was your sleigh.

[B]

Somebody please shut the door. It's so cold.

[A]

All right, now what are we gonna do now? We'll phone town, look at the phone. Anyone see one? No. They don't have lines strung out in these woods. Oh, that's fine.

[B]

Simon, look what I found.

[A]

Huh? Oh, it's a wallet. Not much help. No identification in it.

[B]

But Simon is the kind Charlie always carried. With lots, lots of money in it.

[A]

Yeah, perhaps. But it's empty now. It could just as well be Sergey.

[B]

Sergey carries a purse. Simon.

[A]

Now, you mentioned that Charlie's wallet was missing when we found it. Ain't missing anymore. I wonder if any spare socks are going to turn out.

[B]

Spare socks?

[A]

Charlie Thompson was wearing one red sock and one green one. Somebody may have walked off with the mate to one of them. Well, come on, everybody. Let's Start walking. Going to take us about a week to walk back the hotel. Snow's kind of deep out there and Sergey may not be back for hours or months.

[B]

Simon, there are a couple of pairs of skis in the corner near the door.

[A]

Yeah, they're very decorative.

[B]

People go from place to place on skis.

[A]

Sure, sure. People who can ski.

[B]

I once read a book, Simon, they said skiing is really very simple.

[A]

It is. Don't look at me. I ain't getting on them wooden death traps. All right, you stay here. We'll send for you. You mind? Don't mind at all. You. Peggy, now look, I'll help you get those keys strapped on.

[B]

I hope it's down here all the way. Simon, you're such a liar. You're a such. Beautifully. You know, this is wonderful. Just like flying.

[A]

Yeah, so long as you stay on your feet.

[B]

Simon, I'm hungry.

[A]

Hungry. Well, when we get back to town.

[B]

And you know what I'd like?

[A]

What?

[B]

A salami sandwich.

[A]

Peggy, people get shot for jokes.

[B]

Like, I'll take a. You're happy. So mean.

[A]

Shots came from the clump of trees down the slope. Hey, Peggy, do you know what bad little boys do?

[B]

This is the time to.

[A]

But if we can get under the

[B]

smoke here, get to some rocks.

[A]

Of course.

[B]

Make snowball with rocks.

[A]

Yeah. He can't get us unless he gets a lot closer.

[B]

Oh, dear. I can't see what is.

[A]

He's moving in. You have to come out into the open. Okay, I've got one. Ready? All right. Now he's moving out towards us. Here goes.

[B]

Simon, you hit him now for the next. You hit him again. Oh, Simon. Now I know how they felt it Bunker Hill. Gosh, I'm so glad to get back to the hotel.

[A]

Oh, Mr. Templer. Oh, yeah. The sheriff said he wanted to see you as soon as you came in. He's in the manager's office to your left. Thank you. Would you send someone out to Mr. Popoff's studio? Left a slave driver. Standard. I'll take care of it, sir. Thanks.

[B]

Diamond, do you know who killed Charlie in Chanda?

[A]

Well, I'm not sure, but I think it isn't going to take much longer to find out. Darrell. Hello, Sheriff. I'm Simon templer. I know. Mr. Templer, the saint. This is a great pleasure. Thank you. And this is Peggy Smith, Jones and so forth. Glad to meet you. My name's Hudson. Got statement from Mrs. Thompson, the sculptor fellow. Mr. Templer, I thought you might have something to add.

[B]

Well, he said he was going to take a shower. I left him upstairs.

I'll go right now. Oh, no. Excuse me. Use my v.

[A]

He was also breaking the head. The clerk, Mr. Templar. Why did you. I just wanted to make sure he wouldn't try playing games with his gun. Sheriff gone? Yes, Peggy. The one he tried to kill us with.

[B]

But if he was the one, who. Then he must have been the one who.

[A]

Who killed Thompson. He is.

[B]

But why now? What reason would he have to kill Charlie?

[A]

I think he'll tell us. Seems to be with us again. Good evening. I hope you slept well. I'll listen. You. You listen. Sit down. Thank you. Sheriff. Charlie Thompson was killed in his shower. Then he was dressed, dragged out of the hotel and planted inside the snowman. That's why you moved the snowman, wasn't it? So that you wouldn't have to carry the body so great a distance. I never touched Charlie Thompson yet. I know you did.

[B]

How?

[A]

Templar? Thompson's corpse was wearing one red sock and one green. It meant whoever had dressed him was colorblind. Yes. Yes. And the business with the holly proved that the berries were really red. But when I told our friend here that they were green, he had to take my word for it. He couldn't tell the difference. Why?

[B]

Why, you. You evil man. Simon, he must have been the one who hit me over the head in my room.

[A]

That's why I knew Mrs. Thompson hadn't killed her husband.

[B]

What do you mean?

[A]

You wouldn't have had to hit Peggy over the head in order to get into your husband's room. And I couldn't suspect Mr. Popoff. Why not? Some of my best friends are suspecting me. Because you would never have left Thompson's empty wallet in your own studio. It was the clerk Peggy and I surprised planting it there. After, of course, he had taken all the money out of it. That's why Thompson was killed. Mr. Popoff, he always carried lots and lots of money in his wallet. Peggy supplied that interest. You mean this clerk? He tried to frame me. So I am looking like a murderer. That he did. What do you like that? A man who tried to chisel on a chiseler.

[B]

Simon, we're alone.

[A]

Oh, so we are.

[B]

Simon, did you know that some people pronounce skis? Skis.

[A]

There must be a moral in that someplace.

[B]

Or an immoral. Simon, we're not really married. But you could kiss me anyway. Nice, Simon.

[A]
