Overview

This episode of Lux Radio Theatre presents "Five Fingers," the radio adaptation of the acclaimed espionage film based on true World War II events. The story follows Diello, the crafty valet to the British Ambassador in neutral Turkey, who doubles as the infamous spy "Cicero," selling top-secret Allied information to the Nazis for a fortune. With intrigue, deception, and desperate ambition at its heart, the episode explores the personal motives and moral ambiguities behind espionage, all set against the backdrop of wartime Ankara.

Key Discussion Points & Dramatic Highlights

The Setup: An Offer to the Nazis

[02:05–04:17]

• The drama opens in WWII Ankara. Diello, valet at the British Embassy, clandestinely offers top-secret British documents to Moyzisch, German Embassy attaché, for £20,000.
• Quote (Diello): "I've brought you the opportunity of a lifetime. I can make you the envy of the entire German foreign service." (02:11)

Cicero's Game Begins

[07:23–09:53]

• Diello’s first transaction with the Germans. He delivers two rolls of film and confidently demonstrates his inside knowledge by cracking the safe’s combination.
• He negotiates for continued payments and baits the Germans with the prospect of more critical intelligence.
• Quote (Diello): "You see, I said to myself, if I were an ambitious attaché like Moyzisch, what would be the combination of my safe? And the answer was 1:30, 33. The day Hitler came to power." (08:28)

Complications: The Countess and Confidences

[10:05–15:05]

• Diello approaches Countess Anna Stavisky, his former employer, with a large sum of money and a proposal: she will help him store his illicit profits and, perhaps, accompany him to a new life in South America.
• Their charged conversation blends affection, pride, and lingering class resentments.
• Quote (Diello): “No woman is a mystery to her husband's valet.” (12:49)

The British Catch On

[16:45–19:59]

• British authorities, noticing leaks of secrets, assign Travers, a counter-espionage agent, to investigate.
• Suspicion begins to swirl around the Countess and Diello, but the traitor remains undetected.
• Simultaneously, the Nazis worry Cicero might be a British plant.

Escalation: High Stakes and Crossed Wires

[20:36–23:41]

• Colonel von Richter (Gestapo) replaces Moyzisch for future dealings with Cicero. Tension over motives and trust.
• Cicero sells strategic Allied plans at ever-increasing prices.
• Quote (Diello): “If I have a disgust for anything, it is simply for poverty.” (22:45)
• Both British and German sides suspect double-crosses, yet Cicero outmaneuvers them.

---

Act 2: The Net Tightens

Secrets and Methods

[26:30–29:41]

• The show details Diello’s ingenious method: photographing documents with a pocket camera under a bright lamp, then meticulously replacing them.
• Diello’s fortune grows; paranoia spreads.

Closer to Escape

[36:46–38:25]

• Anna acquires new identities and passage to South America.
• They plan to leave separately to avoid suspicion, and Diello boasts of being “an Argentine gentleman of leisure.”

---

Act 3: Betrayals & Final Gambits

Diello’s Downfall

[42:42–44:35]

• Anna absconds to Switzerland with Diello’s money, sending a letter that betrays him as a spy to the British Ambassador.
• Diello’s reaction: he desperately seeks more money in exchange for the secret of Operation Overlord.

Cat-and-Mouse Across Continents

[47:23–54:32]

• Diello, trailed by both British and German agents, escapes to Istanbul, where he makes his final sale for £100,000—right as the Germans receive Anna’s betrayal letter stating he is a British agent.
• In a final twist, the Germans decide it must have been a double-bluff, but "the documents were genuine, events prove I'm genuine." (53:55)

The Irony of Victory

[54:36–56:48]

• Diello achieves his dream in Rio, only to discover all his riches—over £100,000—are worthless: the German payments were in counterfeit British notes.
• Anna, too, is found in Switzerland with fake money.
• Quote (Diello): “Poor little Anna.” (56:59)

---

Notable Quotes & Moments

• Diello’s wit and cynicism: “You pay me to risk my life, not to risk my sense of humor.” (General tone)
• On the futility of espionage: “By informing a man about to be hanged of the exact size, location, and strength of the rope, you do not remove either the hangman or the certainty of his being hanged.” (23:09, Diello)
• Final irony as Diello is arrested for counterfeiting: “Your papers are all perfectly in order... your account at the bank. The money has been returned.” (55:32, Brazilian authorities)

Final Thoughts

Five Fingers is a master class in suspenseful storytelling, featuring double and triple crosses where trust is always an illusion. James Mason as Diello brings a mix of charm and ruthless pragmatism, while Pamela Colino deftly plays Anna as both accomplice and betrayer. The episode ultimately reveals the bitter, ironic truth at the heart of espionage: even the most successful spy can end up with nothing but ashes in their pocket.

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

Welcome to Hollywood. The Armed Forces Radio and Television Service brings you the Hollywood Radio Theater starring James Mason and Pamela Colino in Five Fingers. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Irving Cumming.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

Tonight we bring you another of our 20 greats.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Five fingers. A thrilling drama of a clever spy who sold his services to the highest bidder.

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

And recreating his original role of the

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

infamous traitor in this 20th Century Fox play picture will be James Mason and

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

as his co star, his charming wife, Pamela Colino.

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

Now act one of Five Fingers.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Starring James Mason as the yellow and

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Pamela Colino as Countess Stavisky.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

This account begins in 1944. The war was at its height, but some nations still were neutral. Among them, Turkey. One evening late in March, an attache of the German Embassy at Ankara, a man named Moyzisch, was about to enter his quarters when a stranger appeared from out of the shadows.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Whatever you do, don't raise your voice.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Who are you?

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

What do you want?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Take me to your office.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Either you tell me who you are.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Don't be a fool. I've brought you the opportunity of a lifetime. I can make you the envy of the entire German Foreign Service. Now open the door.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

The stranger was in his middle 30s, well dressed and as Moyzisch soon found out, exceedingly sure of himself.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Let me warn you, Moyzisch. Not one word of this must reach anyone except your ambassador. My life will depend on your discretion. A responsibility I do not choose to accept. I'm afraid you have no choice. Your life will depend upon it too. You see, certain British documents classed as most secret have come into my possession. The price is £20,000 English pounds sterling. 20,000? Who are you? I am a spy. Obviously. I'm also a businessman. And you consider it sound business to pay 20,000 pounds to an unidentified amateur for a set of so called secret documents? Not so called, not secret, I said. Most secrets. You will inform Herr von Papen of my offer? Naturally. He'll have to check with Berlin. I'll telephone you on Friday for his Answer. I must have more information. If you accept, I'll return at seven o'clock on Friday evening with two rolls of film containing photographs of the document. And I will receive from you the sum of £20,000 in English banknotes. For each subsequent roll of film, the price will be £15,000. Is this clear? It's not clear at all. What documents containing what? For one thing, the English have been discussing with the Turks their possible participation in the war. A matter of pure supposition. I have the minutes of their secret talks. Your ambassador, Herr von Papen, would be enlightened by them. And perhaps a little frightened. What else? The latest Allied plans for the shuttle bombing of certain Balkan targets. When and by whom and how many?

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Go on.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Don't be greedy, Moyzit. What do you expect for £20,000? How did you obtain such information? That is no concern of yours. Nor is my identity. And please do not have me followed. You Germans have no talent for it. You keep wanting to get ahead of the people you follow.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Yes.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Destiny extends its hand to you. Take it and hold on. Good night, Moises.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

The men left. Moyzic did not have him followed. But had he done so, he'd have discovered that his visitor was in the employ of the British Embassy. The ambassador's valet. And like any proper valet, he was at his post when the ambassador returned shortly before midnight from a reception.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

A pleasant reception, sir.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Diplomatic receptions are never pleasant, Diello.

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

The faces may be, but never the motives.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Your coat, sir. Allow me.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Speaking of pleasant faces, Diello, at one time weren't you in the service of the Countess Levisky?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I. I was valet to her late husband, sir, at the Court of St. James.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

She was at the reception.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Is she well, sir?

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

As charming and lovely as ever, but

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

not so well off. The Nazis in Poland have confiscated everything she owns.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I'm sorry to hear it, sir. She was a lady of great wealth

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

and she used it well.

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

More than anyone I've ever known.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Countess Lewisky symbolized the world in which she lived. A world of beauty and luxury gone forever, I'm afraid.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Let us hope not, sir. I put the survey of Turkish manganese beside your bed, together with your journal.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Oh, yes. Thank you. That will be all. Dialog.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

One moment, sir. Your capsule dialogue.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Have you ever considered the possibility that

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

you might just for once forget something?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Often, sir.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

I don't think you'd ever get over it.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Nor do I. Good night, your Excellency.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Three days later, the German ambassador, Franz von Papen, sent for his aid. Moych. He had just Received a dispatch from Berlin. Well, it's here, Moyes. Read it.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Transaction approved. Take every precaution. Essential you determine identity of agent. Expect immediate report.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

It was sent by Kaltenbruner. Well, here's the money.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

£20,000.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

There's no need to count it, Moises. I have not taken any of it, sir.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

But I had no such intention, believe me. I was just.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Are you sure you can handle this alone?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Oh yes, sir. And I can develop the film myself.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Good. The fewer people who know about this the better. Particularly if this fellow makes fools of us. What was your impression, Moises?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Arrogant, spoiled, cynical. The British aristocrat if I ever saw one, sir.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Fantastic. By the way, a code name has been assigned to him. He is to be referred to as Cicero. The name is the personal choice of Herr Ribbentrop.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Is it any significance, sir?

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

None that I know of. Except the surprising fact that Herr Ribbentrop had ever even heard of Cicero. He'll be here tonight.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

He said seven o', clock, sir. Keep your wits sharp.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

A great deal depends on you.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Moises.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Yes?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Excellent.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

The money. Here.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

You forgot it. Excellent.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Promptly at 7 o' clock, Diello arrived at Moyzit's office. On the desk lay the pile of banknotes.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Ah, you have the money, I see. Thank you. Moyzit. The film. Here, two rolls. Oh, fetch me a drink while I count it, will you? Scotch whiskey, please. I'm sure you must have some. We have the best of everything. One of the pleasures of duty in a neutral country. You Germans can drink fine Scotch whiskey and your enemies can fill up on fine German beer. Well, you can count the money later. It goes into the safe now until

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

I've developed the film.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Are you going to develop the film yourself? There's a dark room down the hall. And perhaps you'd better drink this. You're trembling like a butterfly.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Remain here until I come back.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I lock the door. I won't open it to anyone but you. Now hurry.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Mozych was stunned by the contents of the film as well he might have been back in his office. He did his best to hide his excitement.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Interesting snapshots, aren't they? The documents seem to be genuine. Don't be pompous, Mozic. My government has authorized me to make

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

further arrangements with you.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Splendid. £15,000 for each additional roll of film. Oh, and about my present fee. I've counted the money. It was all there. That money isn't the safe. It was. You opened the safe. It's open. You See, I said to myself, if I were an ambitious attache like Moyzic, what would be the combination of my safe? And the answer was 1:30, 33. The day Hitler came to power. I imagined that that would open half the safes in Germany. What an unimaginative lot you are. Well, don't be upset, Moyzit. There was nothing else worth taking.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

My.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

My government is prepared to pay £10,000 per roll.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

No more.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

We won't haggle. I risk my life to get these photographs. My price is quite reasonable. You'll pay it.

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

Not until we know who you are

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

and how you obtain such information. That is my business. I will tell you this. I work at the British Embassy. Sooner or later you'll find that out anyway. You have been assigned a code name. Cicero. Cicero. A man of nobility, eloquence and dissatisfaction. I like that name. When will you bring more film? A week from tonight. Have some money ready. Oh, and change in the number of the combination. May I suggest one? Try. 6 hours, 18 minutes and 15 seconds. That's the date of the Battle of Waterloo. Good night, Hermosage.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Diallo left. Then he took a walk, which led him to a rather shabby section of town and to a rooming house. The quarters of Countess Anna Stavisky.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Oh, it's you, Diallo. Well, come in.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Do I disturb you, madam?

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Not at all. Fortunately, I have a dinner engagement. But he's an under secretary and he's used to waiting.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Any particular under secretary, madam?

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Under secretaries? I never particular. Yellow, perhaps. That's why they take me to dinner.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

It is far more likely that in madam's presence they feel like ambassadors.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Of all the diplomats I've ever known, you are still the best.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

It is my good fortune that you have known so few valets.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Diallo, please. I've spoken to you before about this. You are the valet to the British Ambassador, not to me. Now, sit down and tell me the gossip.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I'll begin with the British Ambassador, Madam. He finds you the most radiant, the most sought after lady in Ankara. To him, you are a symbol of everything worth having and wanting.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

A symbol of the good old days. That's me. You see this, Diallo? An emerald. The last of the lot. I want you to take this to the pawn shop tomorrow. I. I couldn't face another trip.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Would it not be pleasant to make just one more trip, madam? This time to redeem your jewels.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Redeem?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

With English pounds.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Here.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Where did you get that money?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

It's yours. £5,000.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

But it can't be real.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

There's nothing as real as money.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

But I may never be able to pay this back.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I don't want it back.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

I can't permit you. Why, it must be the savings of a lifetime.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Not savings, madam. I'm not a saving man. A business venture of mine has paid off handsomely.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

But what has it to do with me?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I propose to advance you £5,000 in return for certain favors. I have here another 15,000. I couldn't possibly keep such stamps at the Embassy. Nor do I want to draw attention to myself by depositing it in a bank. But you, madam, could keep it for me.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Go on, Diego.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

You could leave this grubby room, rent an attractive villa, live as you please.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

But how would all that be a favor to you?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

From time to time, I shall want to transact my business in privacy. You would set aside certain quarters for me, I see. If all goes well, I shall have some £200,000 within 12 weeks. That's the amount I've set as my goal.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

And then South America.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

A new life, a new name. That, of course, will require a passport, visas, letters of credit. You could be of great help in obtaining them for me.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

How?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I'll explain that when the time comes.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Is there anything else?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Nothing, except all I've told you must remain extremely confidential.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Seems little enough to ask for £5,000. Are you going to tell me what your business is?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Sometime, perhaps. Not now.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

This is quite a trust you put in me. You seem very sure of yourself.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I am sure of you, madam.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Oh?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

For three years I was valet to your late husband. It is said that no man is a hero to his valet. It is also true that no woman is a mystery to her husband's valet.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

You know me that well?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Well enough. The source of your money has never concerned you any more than the source of your electric light. They became worrisome only when they were shut off.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Quite true. But there is pride. I have pride.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

A great deal. I depend upon your pride. You will find it intolerable to have it known that your wealth was the gift of a servant. So you will keep your mouth shut tight.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Get me a brandy. There on the table.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Of course.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

No, Diello, not two glasses. I shall drink only out of one. Thank you. Do you know why I discharged you after my husband died?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I think I do, madam.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Because you made me uneasy. I felt you had an evil genius for something. Little did I know it was for making money.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

That's a lie. That wasn't why I made you uneasy.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

No?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

No. You were attracted to me. It was Upsetting to feel that way about a valet. And to feel that the valet knew it all the time. Have I offended you?

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

You'll soon be very rich.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Everything worth having and wanting. The ambassador didn't say that about you. I did. That's how I've always thought about you.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

And now you want me to go with you to South America?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Yes.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Away from the war, the intrigues, the

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

fears and the poverty.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

And it would be right for us now. Because now, now at last, we are equal.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Yes.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Equals. Who's lying now? Diello? Where are you going?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Madame has a dinner engagement. And we seem suddenly to have run out of gossip.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

You made me a business proposition. I agree to that part of it. As for the arrest, it's not an impossibility. It's merely an improbability. And above all, an impertinence.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Because I address you as an equal?

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

No, because you address me as a servant. Because in the manner of an inferior, you tried to buy something you didn't think you merited on your own. Now let's get down to the details of business.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

As madam wishes.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

My name is Anna.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Yes, Anna. Thank you.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

It was inevitable, of course, that the British Embassy would discover that many of their carefully guarded secrets were now known to the Nazis. When this disturbing news reached London, a counter espionage agent named Travers was sent to the ambassador at Ankara.

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

We've made all sorts of preliminary checks, Mr. Travers.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

So far we failed. I haven't the slightest idea how the German Embassy is getting this information.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

And if I were to assume that the source is someone here? Here at the Embassy, sir, Not all

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

our personnel and permanent employees have had

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

security clearance from London.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Forgive me, but I've never known a self respecting spy without security clearance. Where do you store your state papers, sir?

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

Right here in my study. And that's safe.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

What about the code room?

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

McFadden can answer that.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

The code room is under constant guard night and day, sir. Frederick, don't you think that this lamentable lapse in security could be due to a slip of the lip at some party or reception?

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

My lips are not in the habit of slipping, Mr. Travers.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

No, nor do I imply that they are, sir. But our secret information does pass through other hands. It. It might pass through other lips. Now, McFadden's been telling me about an unattached lady, a certain Countess Stavisky. It is possible, is it not, that. I beg your pardon, your excellency. What is it, Diello? It's time for your capsule, sir.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Oh, thank you, Diello.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Just set it down. Yes, sir.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

You were saying?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Feathers, your vennet?

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Yes, he's been with me for years.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Well, about the countess. According to McFadden, her circumstances have taken a startling change for the better. Does anyone know the source of her sudden good fortune?

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

I'm not able to answer that. However, she has many friends on either side, Allied and Axis.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Oh, by the way, you'll be interested to know I am not the only newcomer to Ankara. Colonel von Richter was also on the train from Istanbul.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Von Richter? The Gestapo?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Traveling under a Swiss passport. He calls himself Rudolf Hoodler, a tobacco buyer from Bern. He went directly to the German embassy, sir. No doubt he's reporting to von Papen, as I'm reporting to you.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

If we only knew what they're saying.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Yes, sir Frederick, if we only knew.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Von Papen's reception of von Richter was anything but cordial. Von Papen had good reason to be aroused. So you come here seeking confirmation of the documents we bought from Cicero? You had your confirmation on the 5th of April we sent you the British plans to bomb the Ploesti oil fields. Well, were they bombed or weren't they? Thousands are dead. Millions of gallons of precious oil destroyed. What is the need for further confirmation,

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Herr von Richter, regarding Cicero? It remains the opinion of General Kaltenbrunner and myself that all this still could be a British trap. Now then, you seem very certain about a connection between the Countess Levisky and Cicero. May I ask why?

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Because it is obvious. Why else would he choose her new home for his next meeting with Moises?

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

What a strange and sudden and perfect relationship. Too strange, too sudden, too perfect. The unknown Cicero and the well known Countess. Well known for her anti German sentiments.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Yet only a month ago she pleaded with me for an opportunity to work in our interests.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

For love, her vapen or for money?

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

For money, of course. Alone. Until the time when we return her property we've confiscated in Poland.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

I want to talk to Cicero myself. Moises. When do you meet with him?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Next Thursday evening, Herr Colonel.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Then you will arrange for Monsieur Hodler, the Swiss businessman, to be present.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

On Thursday night the Countess Stavisky was again entertaining. Among her guests was the tobacco buyer from Switzerland. During the evening she led him through the house to a secluded wing where someone was waiting for him.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

You will find your man in that room, Monsieur Hodler. I shall see that you are not disturbed.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Thank you, Madame.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Are you too a diplomat, Monsieur? Like Herr Moytic?

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

I suppose you could call me a middle man.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

There are so many sweet middleman. It seems to be a national occupation.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

And what could be more natural? After all, we Swiss have been in the middle for hundreds of years.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Just knock on the door with you.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Colonel von Richter. Sit down, please. Moyzis tells me that you're to be the new intermediary.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

That is correct.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Moyish is too well known here. It'll be safer for me to deal with you.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I'm happy to hear it. I share your concern.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

The Countess. Have you told her who I am?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Of course not.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Does she know the nature of your business?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

No.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Then just what is her relation?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

My dear Colonel, I did not invite you here to discuss my personal affairs. We have some business to transact. Did you bring the money?

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

You will be paid after we have developed the film.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

During the past weeks I have sold Moyzit 50 photographs. All of genuine secret documents. That's proof enough of my good faith. Henceforth you will pay on delivery. No. Well, possibly you're no longer interested in the strategic plans of the Allies for the entire Mediterranean area.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

A second front?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I do not know the number of the front. I do know that in these documents Mr. Churchill keeps referring to the soft underbelly of Europe. Of course, I could take the films to von Papen and ask that he himself query the German High Command as to their interests.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Very well. Here. £15,000.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Why? You had it with you all the time.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Who are you anyway?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

If I told you I was the valet to the British Ambassador, would you believe me?

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Certainly not.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

You see?

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

At least tell me why you are selling us this information.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I thought it was self evident. For money.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

But you must have some other motive. Perhaps you share our disgust with British decadence.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

If I have a disgust for everything, it is simply for poverty.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

You sell us information which will help us win the war, yet you insist upon being paid in money with a very dubious future. British pounds.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

What makes you think I think Germany will win the war?

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Apart from the money we pay you, you attach little importance to these documents.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Why?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

In the first place, I cannot sell you the intelligence to make the proper use of them. In the second place, by informing a man about to be hanged of the exact size, location and strength of the rope, you do not remove either the hangman or the certainty of his being hanged. And now I'm assure you want to rejoin your party one week from tonight I shall have some more film for you. Good night, Colonel.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

I trust your meeting was a happy one, Monsieur Hodler?

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Quite satisfactory, thank you.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

And you will honor us soon again.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

The honor will be mine. Good night, Madame.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Ah, how charmingly you sweets. Click your heels. Good night, monsieur.

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

We'll Continue with Act 2 of 5. Fingers in a moment. Letters that come to this show from servicemen bear postmarks from all over the world. And it's plain to see that they're having a wonderful opportunity to observe new customs and traditions among people of other lands. They're finding out too that these ideas of other people aren't so strange after all. For instance, in Fecamp in northern France, most of the men of the village are fishermen. Before venturing out to sea, they gather in the Notre Dame de Salut church to make their devotions, seeking divine guidance for a successful trip and safe return. Benediction services are held also in other parts of France, in England and Newfoundland, in Greece and Italy. They're of a religious nature. But fishermen are pretty superstitious too. Many of them will refuse to join a ship that doesn't have a mascot. And some refuse to sail on certain days or when the tide is running a certain way. I just don't think it'll be lucky for them. Well, all this might sound strange, but as our servicemen have observed we have our own traditions about the sea. In some cases, these are religious too, such as the services that are held in San Diego and Wilmington, California, at New Orleans and other fishing centers of Louisiana. We have other customs as far as luck is concerned. The christening of a ship by breaking a bottle of wine or water over its bow. The carrying of a dog, cat or other animal as a mascot. And the ritual still exists when crossing the equator, of initiating the first timers, introducing them to King Neptune, the royal chaplain, the surgeon, the barber and the royal baby. It's an enduring custom that dates back into antiquity, when men in all seriousness, paid homage to the sea gods. These things are a part of our culture and they have their equivalence among the customs and traditions of other people. The way of doing things may be different, but the ideals are the same. And our servicemen are helping to maintain goodwill between us and the people of other countries by observing these customs, by learning about them, and by honoring them. Now, our producer, Mr. Cummings. Act two of Five Fingers, starring James

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Mason as Diello and Pamela Colino as Countess Stavisky.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Two winks went by the man known to the British as Diallo the valet, and to the Nazis as Cicero the spy continued his audacious operations. How did he get his information? Months before, he had learned the combination of the safe in the Ambassador's study. Removing the documents, he would place them under a lamp. But the ordinary electric light bulb was not bright enough, so he would substitute a much more powerful one. And then, with a tiny pocket camera, quickly photograph each new document. In a matter of moments, the papers would be back in the safe and the original bulb restored to the lamp. Simple and incredibly bold. And bound, sooner or later, to be discovered. But not yet. No, not yet.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Come in, Diello. Another profitable evening?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Profitable enough to bring the total to £75,000.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Why don't you stop now? Why go on playing with fire?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

What makes you think I am?

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Don't treat me like an idiot, child. Your friend Hodler, he isn't Swiss. I know a Prussian when I see one.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Does it matter to you?

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Your safety matters to me. My security depends upon yours.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Oh, forgive me. I keep thinking of myself as a man. I keep forgetting that I'm a valet who pays dividends.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

I can't see why a man as rich as you should go on pressing the trousers of the British Ambassador.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

That's where I get my money. I steal the loose change from his pockets.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Before you go, get me a drink, will you? Tell me, where do you plan to settle when you go to South America Rio.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

There's no city like it in the world.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

When did you decide to go there?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Many years ago.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I was a cabin boy on a dirty tramp steamer. I can remember looking up at a villa high on a mountainside above the harbor. I could see a man on a balcony. He was wearing a white dinner jacket. He seemed close enough to touch, and yet he was beyond the reach of anyone. I swore then that someday I would be that man.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

My drink, please. Do you have a nationality, Diallo? You are not a native Englishman, are you?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Albanian. English by adoption. In England, it seemed profitable to become a gentleman, so I went into service. As you have pointed out, I am not yet a gentleman. But I am the best of the gentleman's gentlemen. Which reminds me, the ambassador will be wondering what has kept me.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Diello.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Yes, Anna?

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

I think I shall find Rio very much to my liking. You've waited a long time to kiss me. You don't have to wait any longer.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Yes, d. Get me a drink.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

During the following weeks, D's fortune grew to £155,000. And yet, despite the unerring accuracy of the information which he sold to the Germans, they stubbornly and amazingly rather refused to act upon it. Still afraid that Diello was really a British agent at the British Embassy, Travers, the counterespianage officer, continued on the merry go round which had led him exactly nowhere. But one morning, he asked the ambassador to send for Diello. We feel you can help us, Diello. After all, you were valid to the husband of Countess Levisky for some time.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I'm sure you learn more about both of them than we could in a lifetime of investigation. Infinitely more, Mr. Travers. Tell me, did you Ever hear the Countess express sympathy for the Nazis? To my knowledge, the Countess never spoke of countries or of political parties, sir. The world to her was made up of individual people whom she either liked or disliked. Well, would you consider her to have been pro German? The Countess was capable of being pro anything, sir, if it made for a congenial dinner party. Would you consider it possible for her to have become a German agent? Only for money, sir.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Of which he has suddenly acquired a most generous supply.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I. I know nothing about spies, of course, but I can remember that the Countess had a remarkable talent for receiving confidences from important people. The late Count always relied upon her for acquiring information. Thank you, Diello. That's all.

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

Oh, I'll be dining at the American embassy.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

You may take the evening off.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Thank you, sir. Clever chap.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

You told us nothing. The fact remains that von Papen still anticipates every move I make. Well, Travers, no argument?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

No, your excellency, no argument.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

That same evening Colonel von Richter was once again at Counter Stavisky's home. Many meeting with Diello.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

You're very nervous tonight, Colonel. Is something troubling you?

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

This house is far too dangerous a meeting place for us. I wouldn't be surprised if the British were watching it.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Not yet, but they will. They suspect the Countess is a German agent.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Are you serious?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

And all the while you suspected she was a British agent. Amusing, isn't it?

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

We should never have met here.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

From now on we won't. Do you know the Aslan Hane Mosque in the Old Quarter? Moyzic will find it for you. We'll meet there a week from tonight.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

A week is too long. It must be sooner.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Really? Why?

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Because there is something about which we must secure information as quickly as possible. A certain code word has appeared in several of the documents you brought us last week. The word is Overlord. We are convinced that Overlord is the name for their so called second front. What we must know is the place and date, the where and the when.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I can understand your curiosity.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

I will pay you well for it. £40,000.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Generous of you. But is information of that nature likely to turn up at the British Embassy in Ankara?

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Don't you read the documents you sell us?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I photograph everything that's stamped secret, most secret and top secret. I'm not particularly interested in what they contain.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

You photographed the dispatch last week stating that the Ambassador would receive a copy of of the revised strategic plan for overlord within 10 days.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

£40,000 you said?

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

For the where and the when.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

We'll meet at the Aslan Hani mosque on Thursday nights. Bring the money with you.

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

In the morning.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Mr. Travers, for the first time had some good news for the ambassador. The British had succeeded in breaking the diplomatic code of the Nazi ambassador, von Papen.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

And now, for a change, sir, you can eavesdrop on von papen. All right, McFadden, read the message. This is from von Papen, sir, to the Reich Foreign Minister in Berlin in reply to your query concerning the authenticity of documents obtained from Cicero.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

I am firmly convinced the material is genuine. Cicero lives within the British Embassy.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Obviously he has access to top secret information.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Lives here.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Carlton Bruner's failure to evaluate the documents and von Richter's refusal to make them available to me is a tragic blunder. I strongly urge you to bring this

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

matter to the personal attention of the Fuhrer without delay. Signed, Von Pappens, Sicily.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

The code name for their informer, sir. Now, with your permission, I'll order a house search at once. But an open search will put him right on his. Well, that can't be helped. We can't catch him. We've got to frighten him enough to make him stop for a while.

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

As you know, I'm expected in Cairo tomorrow evening.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Until I return, take any security measure you think necessary.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Well, for one thing, I suggest the combination on your safe be changed and safety devices installed. A dozen members of the staff here have access to most of your secret documents. There's also McFadden and you and I,

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Cicero could be any one of us.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Yes, sir, any one of us. Well, McFadden, better start changing that combination.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

How long will it take?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Oh, a few days, sir, but I can install an alarm bell in a matter of hours. I'm sorry to disturb you, sir, about your trip to Cairo. Shall I pack your uniforms?

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

I won't be needing them, thank you, Diello.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Very well, sir. I'll close your bags.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

By the way, Diello, don't be upset

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

if these gentlemen ransack my quarters while I'm gone.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Oh, there'll be no need for that, I'm sure, sir. On Thursday night, Moyzic and Vonrista appeared as scheduled at the entrance of the Aslan Hani Mosque. But the man they were looking for was not there.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

It's never been laid before, sir. Never. Could it be possible, sir, that the British have found him out?

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

It is is more possible that the

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

British have known about him all the time.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

It's very curious how easily Cicero acquired the documents he wanted to sell and when.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Only once we named the information we want to buy. How Mysteriously, he failed to deliver it.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

What does the colonel propose to do now, sir?

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Precisely nothing. All spies in time outlive their usefulness. I'm afraid, Moises, that your friend Cicero has just about outlived his. Now drive me back to the embassy.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

No, Diello did not appear that night at the mosque. He went instead to call on the Countess Daviski.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

So you can be very proud of me, Diello. You have everything you asked for? Your passport, your visas and your tickets. Your name is now Roberto Antonini.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Well done, senora Antonini.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

He does nothing. One of my many pleasant wifely duties.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

How much do they cost?

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

5,000 pounds. Another thousand for birth and marriage certificates.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

And the tickets?

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Two first class compartments, separate cars on the Istanbul express leaving tomorrow evening.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

And the ship?

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

An Argentine passenger freighter sailing from Istanbul directly to Rio day after tomorrow at sundown.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Now remember, you're to take no notice of me whatsoever on the train. When we reach Istanbul, we'll go aboard the ship at once. How does it go at the bank?

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

The bank manager seemed extremely curious, but the papers will be ready tomorrow morning.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

How much?

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Another thousand. And all my powers of persuasion decide of respectability.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

That leaves roughly £130,000. In dollars, about 600,000 in Brazilian cruzeiros. About 11 and a half million.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Bless the 40,000 you got tonight.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

No, I withdrew from that transaction. The market's getting shaky. I've decided to retire. You have before you an Argentine gentleman of leisure about to take up residence in Brazil.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

I'm glad. We have more than enough anyway.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

We? We have more than enough. My dear signora Antonini, where I came from, a man's money is his own. And if his wife is a good wife, he. He gives her some from time to time.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Whatever you say, Roberto.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Will you miss being a countess?

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Not for a moment, darling. Not for a moment.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

In the morning, Mr. Travers, for the first time had reason to specifically question the ambassador's valor.

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

The yellow.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

May I ask what you're doing with those letters? These, sir? Mr. Morrison gave them to me. The ambassador's personal mail, sir. Oh, I see. Perhaps you better take charge of it, sir, until he returns from Cairo. Yes, I think we'd better put it in the safe. How many letters are there? Five, sir. This one seems quite personal. A lady's handwriting. You were looking at it, weren't you? It's perfumed. It struck me as such a pity that so few ladies use perfumed letter paper these days. By the way, Dieler, weren't you away from the embassy last night between 9 and 10? Yes, sir. Would you mind accounting for your movements? Not at all, sir. I walked for a while on the boulevard. Stopped for a drink at the Yuxel palace, then back to the embassy. One other question about the Countess. Do you remember any particularly close friends she may have had in Switzerland? Did she go there often? Oh, very often, sir. She was extremely fond of Switzerland. Ah, then that explains it. Countess Taviska left for by plane for Switzerland this morning. I hope she can enjoy it in the style to which she is accustomed. Now that shouldn't be any problem. She took with her £130,000. I wonder where she got it. Yes, I wonder, sir.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Step into the world of power, loyalty and luck.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse.

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

With family.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

In a moment. Act three of five fingers. The town of Kotzebue, Alaska, had very little defense against the fire which raced through it on a winter's night. In a few hours, houses, stores and other buildings had burned to the ground, and many people were homeless. But a unit from the 11th Air Division stationed nearby took charge and made space for the people to stay overnight. Set up temporary shelters and mess tents, and the next day they set to work to rebuild the town on off duty hours. Throughout the next few weeks, they worked as carpenters, painters, bricklayers, plumbers and electricians. And from their example, the people of Kotzebue took heart. As the town was rebuilt, so their hope for the future was rekindled Such acts by you and your friends today are shaping our world of tomorrow. We pause now for station identification. The curtain rises on Act 3 of Five Fingers, starring James Mason as the

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Yellow and Pamela Collino as Countess Stavisky.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

To the Yellow the news will come unthinkable. Alice Stavisky had stolen his money and gone to Switzerland. He hurried away from the embassy, went to a cafe and telephone. Moyes.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Listen carefully, Moych. Tell Colonel von Richter I have decided to get the information about Overlord. I. I need the money. But I'm being watched. I'll arrange a meeting place in Istanbul. I'll call you there tomorrow at the German Consulate. That's about it, brothers. After the phone call, Diello came directly

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

back here to the embassy.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Did he speak to anyone at the bar?

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

No, no one.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I think you're on the wrong track, sniffing after Diello. After all, he didn't bat an eye when you told him about the Countess. But why go to a cafe to make a telephone call? And why did he? Maybe you're right. Where is he now? Upstairs. If he should leave again, he'll be followed.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Of course. Yes. Diello was upstairs, staring at the Ambassador's safe and the newly installed wiring that led up to the hall to an electric alarm bell. In the safe was a secret worth £40,000. But one turn of the dial and the entire British Embassy would descend upon it. But then he smiled. How simple it would be. Diello walked down the hall to a broom closet, and it was a fuse box. He removed the fuse that served the Ambassador's study and thus broke the current to the alarm bell. Two minutes later, he was taking photographs of half a dozen papers containing the word Overlord. And then there was no time to return the documents to the safe. No time for anything but to find out who was at the door.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

What do you want?

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

I am the porter, sir.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I clean office.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Now?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

No, not now. His Excellency won't be back until tomorrow.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

But it is necessary.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Not now, I said. Come back later.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

But the porter was not one to quickly surrender. If he could not tidy up the study, at least he could vacuum the carpets in the corridor. But when he turned on the vacuum cleaner, there was no electricity. So I went to the broom closet, observed that a fuse was missing, and promptly replaced it.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

That man, where did he go? Did you see him?

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

What man?

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Who?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

The man. He'll get away. Where's the other?

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

My cousin.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

He just ran out the back stairs.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

He's chasing somebody. Johnson.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Yes, sir?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

You and Kim will follow Him.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Find him and stick with him.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Right.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

Out.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Morrison, get a dispatch off to London. I want all available information on the yellow sent here at once. All right, McFadden, let's take a look at the safe. Well, the papers are all here. Now, what about the letters? That batch of mail that came for the ambassador? There were five letters. One letter's missing. The one with the delicate perfume. One letter gone, but none of the papers. I wonder why he'd. What's that light in the bedroom? Huh?

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Lamps.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

On an unusually bright lamp, isn't it? Come here. Photographic bulb.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Why, he photographed.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

All right, all right. Have Burrows and Murray watch the German Embassy. We've got to keep him from delivering that film. Grab him in public. Our Turkish friends might not like him. If we can't kidnap him, Macfadden, we'll have to kill him. There's a little matter called Overlord we've got to consider. I'll send a man out to the airport. After Johnson gets back, you and I will get out to the railroad station. If he doesn't show up at their embassy, you can be sure he's leaving town.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

At the German embassy, Colonel von Richter was also making plans based on Viol's phone call from the cafe to Moises.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

He said he would arrange a meeting in Istanbul. Very well. See what you and Sturb and take the train, Musician. I will go by plane. Cicero is bound to be on one or the other.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Shall we go armed, Colonel?

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Naturally. You are to protect Cicero from the British at all costs until we get that film.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

And after that, sir?

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

And after that, Moises, it'll be up to Cicero to protect himself from the British and from us.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

At the crowded railroad station, four men kept their tense watch for the Oliver you British do not see. But there was no sign of Diello, not until the train started to move from the platform. And then from his hiding place, Diello dashed through the crowd and onto the train.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I've gone through the last three cars. There's no sign of him. He's in the car just ahead, second compartment. The doors closed. Well, there's nothing to do between here and Istanbul but make sure that none of them get off them down there. The old familiar faces. Same two we saw in the station. But what if he's given them the Pilgrim? They wouldn't be playing watchdog for him if he did so. Put your gun away, McFadden, and light up your pipe. It's a long ride to Istanbul.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

In his compartment, Diello was reading a letter. The letter with the delicate senate Addressed to the. The British Ambassador.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

And so by the time you receive this letter, I shall be far from anchor, far from uncertainty and hunger and humiliation. I shall be settled, I hope, in a new life of security and self respect. You have spoken to me so often, my dear Ambassador of Diello. The perfect valet. Surely I can offer no greater proof of my devotion to the Allied cause than to inform you that your trusted DLO is a German spy. I know both you and your government.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Early the following morning, Diello left his compartment and entered another.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Good morning, gentlemen. You sleep well? I slept extremely well. Guards to the right of me. Guards to the left of me. You are my bodyguards, aren't you? Or are you my assassins?

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

We are here to see that no

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

harm comes to you from the British.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

We will stay at your side till

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

you reach the German Consulate. Don't be whimsical. I'm here only to give you a message from Moyzisch. Tell him to meet me at hakim's Restaurant at 6 o' clock this evening. We would prefer the Consulate. No, thank you. So many more people go into German Consulate than come out of. We must have some guarantee that your film is genuine. Here is a little strip of film. Have Moyzisch develop it and you will see a piece of the document that Colonel von Richter wants to buy. I'll deliver the rest of it when Moyzisch pays me £100,000. 100,000. I forgot to tell you, I've just raised my price.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

At 6 o' clock in Istanbul, in a restaurant called Hakim's, Moyzic kept his appointment with dmo. Some moments later they were followed there by Travers and McFadden.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Good evening, gentlemen.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

You wish a table?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I'm looking for a friend.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

He.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

He'll be in a private room. There is a private room over there. It is occupied.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Good, then he's here. I am sorry, he does not wish

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

to be disturbed nor. But he's expecting. Sir.

[Countess Anna Stavisky / Madame Antonini]

I am sorry.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Sorry.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

If you care to wait, please to be seated here. Well, he's here, McFadden. And Moyzic is in there with him. You know there's a time for using your wits and a time for blasting away. Let's get it over with. We've no monopoly on blasting away in this place, huh? Our Nazi friends again. And those dim witted supermen would drop us before we got clear of the table. But he may be handing over the film this minute. As of this minute we don't want the film. Plans can be changed, you know. We Want yellow. We've got to know just how much the Natchez have found out. I'm gonna send him a note, just a word or two to let him know we're protecting. Ah, you're barmy now. You'll jump at it. Oh, you. If you don't mind.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Yes, sir.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

My friend may not know we're waiting for him. Would you give him this note, please?

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

That note you.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Just who is it from? What does it say? Ah, you're troubled, Moy, because you know that I haven't much longer to live.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

The two Gestapo men are here to

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

protect you from the British.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

What?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Two men? Really, Moy. You and your guilty conscience and your big mouth. Well, the money is all in order and here is the film. Good. Has it occurred to you that our roles are now reversed? That the British may try to kill you? Well, Moises, shall we go? Here he comes. He's heading towards us.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Travers.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Your note worked. Mr. Travers. I'm touched by your solicitude. Imagine me of all men with a British sword and a British shield. Personally, I'd rather slit your throat. Impractical. In that case, I'd be unable to tell you the things you want to know. You've no idea how confused the Nazis are to see you protecting me. They still half suspect I've been a British plant all along. We have a car outside. We'll see you safely to the British Consulate. No, no, thank you. We'll walk away together and then say goodbye.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

We'll get the Turkish police to arrest you.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Is that a gun in your pocket, Mr. McFadden? It's against the law here to carry a weapon, didn't you know? Come along. Of course you disapprove of me, don't you, Mr. Travers? You're the most cold blooded traitor I've seen in a lifetime of looking at human trash. What a pity. I rather hoped I looked like a gentleman.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

They left the restaurant. Behind them came the two Gestapo men, Siebert and stubborn. But Diello had known exactly what he was doing when he picked Hakims as the meeting place for the narrow street was jammed with people and traffic. They walked not more than 50ft when he suddenly darted away and was lost in the crowd. Meanwhile, Moyzich had rushed to the German Consulate with a roll of film that had cost a hundred thousand pounds.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

The film is developed, Herr Colonel.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

I have the exact exactly the information you wanted. Or have you?

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

It took you long enough.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I was so nervous I spoiled the first print.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

But here it is, sir. D Day For Operation Overlord is tentatively

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

set for early June along the coast of Normandy and the Cherbourg peninsula. Colonel, did you hear me?

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Now you hear this. An urgent dispatch from Von Papen. Von Papen have just received personal letter from Countess Anastaski naming Cicero as British agent. Am unable to confirm accusation because Countess is now in Switzerland. But endure past efforts to ingratiate herself with us. Am compelled to believe her charge is true.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

I cannot believe it.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

I have always believed it.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

From the first.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

But the documents were genuine. Events proves I'm genuine.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Of course, they had to be. So that we would swallow that big lie. That one in your hand.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I knew it all along.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

I knew it.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Lies.

[Colonel von Richter / Gestapo Officer]

Lies.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Lies. Yes, the yellow had won. And as Roberto Antonini he sailed away to Rio. He bought a magnificent home high on a hill overlooking the harbor. And he wore a beautiful white dinner jacket every night. But one evening, as his valet was serving dinner out on the balcony, two gentlemen came to call on him.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

This is an unexpected pleasure, Senor Da Costa.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

And may I present my friend, Senor Santos.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

I am honored, Senor.

And you have discovered some irregularity in my papers?

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Your papers are all perfectly in order. There is an irregularity, however. Your account at the bank.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Senor, I am overdrawn. As of yesterday, I had approximately 7 million cruzeiros in my account.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

I. I was referring to the 25,000

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

The money has been returned.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

It is Counterfeit?

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

You have a distorted sense of humor, senor.

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

And so is the money which you exchanged for Brazilian currency. It is all counterfeit. The most skillful I have ever seen. Senor Antonini, I implore you to cooperate. Those counterfeit notes were printed in Germany. The British have just established that beyond the tart. And so far they have turned up in three places. Here in Brazil, in Turkey and in Switzerland.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Switzerland?

[Moyzisch / German Embassy Attache / Narrator]

Over 100,000 counterfeit British pounds confiscated there two days ago in the possession of a political refugee. A lady.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

Counted.

It will be to your interest, senor, to tell us where and and how you got this money.

[Diello / Cicero (British valet and spy)]

G.J.

[Narrator / Announcer (Hollywood Radio Theater)]

watermool, a naturalized United States citizen, has done much to bring the fruits of democracy to his native country, India. As one of Hawaii's most successful merchants, Watamul, with his American wife, established the Wadamul foundation over 15 years ago to bring Indian students to America. The first year, they offered 14 fellowships, paid for the students passage to the United States and their tuition at a university of the candidate's choice and gave them $150 a month for two years living expenses. Since the foundation was begun, industries all over America have offered their services to the Watamols in helping Indians learn modern techniques in pediatrics, the control of epidemics, food canning and the building of machinery. Through the years, the Wadamus have expanded their program to sponsor and exchange goodwill ambassadors between the United States and India. We should be especially proud of G.J. watamo, who as an American citizen has proven to peoples of two nations that by helping others, you help your country. Now here's Mr. Cummings with our stars. And here we are, James Mason and Pamela Collino.
