Geico's motorcycle expertise gives me the coverage I need. Like 24, seven claims. I'm on cloud nine. Clouds are whole, unable to support the weight of an adult human. What's happening? Furthermore, clouds are not numbered. Even if you procured a jetpack and searched, you'd find no cloud numbered nine. However, at that altitude you'd likely befriend a flock of migrating snow geese. Geese who'd encourage you to leave your 24, 7 GEICO motorcycle claims insurance behind as they would take you in and even share their dinner of crickets and clovers with you. GEICO assumes no liability for any indigestion that may occur from a clover cricket dinner. GEICO expertise for your motorcycle. Renfro reporting ready for action. Once again we bring you Renfro of the Mounted. Another story of the famous inspector of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police known to thousand of admirers through the books and stories of Laurie York Erskine. Adapted for radio by George Ludlam. Today Renprul investigates the spirit strange case of Corporal Malcolm Sandis, officer in charge of the police post at Glen Afton, who has been suspected of taking a bribe. Our story begins in Glen Afton itself frontier town of British Columbia, where officials of the local bank are looking forward to the end of a busy day. Outside, a light rain spatters the windows and a group of mounted strangers are quietly gathering at the bank's door. But inside everything is light and warm. Unaware of danger, the President is in his private office talking with an assistant. Beg your pardon, sir? Yeah, Jackson. Kenny and Jackson, did you want to see me about something? Why no sir. They told me in the outer office that you want to see me. That's right. Come to think of it, I did want to see you. Jackson, look here. See that on the last copy of the register. What is it, sir? Halfway down the third column. Oh, you mean that story about the bank hold up down in Haywood? Yes, I did see that sir. Bad business. You're right Jackson, My bad business. What I'm thinking now is worry which should happen here. Good Lord, sir, it couldn't happen here. You've been going to the movies again. Seriously Jackson, why can't it? Do you know of any particular reason why a gang of hold up men couldn't come walking in that door this moment and hold us up full? Well, I can't just specify the amount offhand. The cashier will have it, sir. Shall I call it? No, don't bother. He'll be in himself directly Anyhow. Let's say our cash on hand is about 25 or $35,000. Is it that much, sir? All of that? Maybe more. My point is, Jackson, that it does our depositors much more good here in the bank than it would in the pockets of some hold up artist. You're not seriously worried, are you, sir? Well, I depend. What's that article say? That business down in Haywood, does it mention names? Let me see. Yes, sir, it does. Ah, here we are. This report says the general opinion seems to be that the men who did it are escaped convicts from up north, fresh from the penitentiary. Yeah, did you see who they are? Well, the leader's fellow's name is Saltaire. Saltaire? Yeah. Means nothing to me. Not one of my intimate friends for which much thanks. Well, look here, Jackson. Yes, sir, coming to the point. What can we do about it here in Glenafton? How are we fixed? Well, sir, the men at the windows have revolvers of course, but much good they do. Why, when I was down in Vancouver last month attending the bankers convention, there was quite a bit of talk about better protection for banks and small towns. Tear gas, hidden post, all that sort of thing. Well, sir, we could go in for that of course. But you really think it's necessary? Well. Well, if you ask me, our best protection is the mounted. We have a post right here in Glen Afton. That's true. Hadn't thought of it that way. Of course, a post of mounted police is really about the best protection we could have. Know the man in charge? Why yes, sir. Corporal Sanders. One of the best men I know. Well, that's encouraging. Come to think of it, I believe you're right. Forget all about tear gas and extra guns and whatnot. Well, I really think it isn't the best for itself. Let it go. That's all, Jackson. Yes, sir. Hello. Here's Bowman. Hello, bourne. Hello. Hello, Mr. Jackson. Well, sir, business is booming. Looks like it, Bowman. And I don't mind telling you I'm glad to see it. Yes, sir. Just a few more days like today and we'll have to move into larger quarters, build a vault. How much money have we on hand? Well, sir, between ourselves we have more than I like to see. Pretty close to 40,000. 40,000? Well, tomorrow we'll transfer some of that money to safer quarters. Though I really don't suppose. Hello. What's that? Those men out there, what are they doing? Come on, hands up. Everybody stand right where you are. They've got guns. It's a hold up and it surely means business. Next time I aim to hit. Get going. Boys, Bring it fast. Telephone. Call the police. No, wait. Don't move. Hey, there. You two in the back room. Come out of that. Come on or I'll hurry up. Salt there. Make it fast. Come on, you hear me? I won't tell you again. Come on, sir. Have to do it. But they can't make me. Make you, huh? Watch us. Make it fast. I'll make it fast. Who's the boss here? You. All right, Quick. How much you got here and where is it? Come on. I said quick. Why, none of that stuff. Go in there and open the safe, soldier. Never mind him. We got it. Sure. I tell you, we got it. The safe is standing wide open. Look. Okay, beat it for the horses. Come. Come on, you guys. Make it fast in there. Okay. Here, Salter, we got the cash in the window. Stand still, you healing hands up. Feed it outside. I'm backing out of here. If anybody makes a move, drill em. Okay, boys. Okay, Saltier. You'll give us five minutes, see, before you make a move. If you don't, well, we'll be back. Okay, boys. Right. Well, yard scheme, Mailer. Don't make a move. Remember what he said. Nonsense. That was a bluff. Telephone. Quick. Get the police. Where's that phone? Operator. Operator. Police. Get the police. An armed gang is held up the bank. I see an armed gang. What? What? What's the matter? What'd she say? She says the post is closed. The corporal in charge of the way. Now, look here. Are you listening? Find out where he is, call him back. And if you can't catch him, call Renfrew. Inspector Renfrew at Gen bow. Get that rent. Take that other phone, Sheehan. Yes, sir. I've got this one. Hello? Hello? Ren for speaking. Yeah, Carstairs. And get these orders. The Saltier gang is held up the bank at Glenopton. Glenopton. G L E N A F P O N For sure. That's right, Saltier. S A L T I R E S. We know he's heading south. Call in all your men at once and cover the roads to Fort Brandon. Warn the constable in charge. If anything turns up, telephone me here at Grenville. Got it? Good. Doesn't make any difference. He was told to stay at his post. Well, sure. Ever since that robbery in Haywood. Well, I know. All right. If you hear anything, let us know, will you? All right. Goodbye. Where's Ben Afton? Sir, there's still no word or sign of Corporal Santis. I don't like it, Shin. I don't like it at all. What's the matter with him? Where is he? Why wasn't he on the job when Salty and his gang rode into Glenafton? That looks queer, sir. Oh, it looks worse than that. I wouldn't have believed it, but no Sandys. Do you? No, sir, I don't. But Salty is a hard case with a price on his head. If he warned Sandy, say, to stay out of the picture. You know, for his health. No, no, no. I know Sandys. If there was one man in the world that I'd say couldn't be bluff. But why else was Sandys away? He was ordered to stay by his post since that robbery down at Haywood. Of course, sir, they do say that every man has his price. His price? Oh, no, no. Sheer, not bribery. You know better than that. I'll take it, Blaine, for speaking. Constable Baker, special orders. Baker. The Salt Air Gang is held up the bank of Glen Afton. Glen Afton and is heading south. You will take your patrol and cover the tunnel trail between Ferndale and Spider River. Got it? I'll repeat. The tunnel trail between Ferndale and Spider River. Report by telephone if you make an arrest. That's all. All right. Come along. Sheehan. Yes, sir. Where to? All the roads are closed. If Saltier is heading south now, he's only got one way left. Jiminy, sir. That's right. South through Black Pass Canyon. Do we ride there now? No, Sheehan. No. We're going north to the post of Corporal Sandys at Glen Afton. Glen Afton, sir? Exactly. Sheehan, we're going to find out why a corporal of the mounted police has failed in his duty. Hand me my belt, will you? Now, wait a minute, sir. Here you are. Thank you, Sheehan. Come on. Hey, there. Come on, now. Ain't none of that here. You get your nose out of my pocket. Out, I said. That's better. Well, if it's sugar, you won't ask for it politely. I said politely. There, that's better. Now stand back there. Stand back while I load this pack. Hello, visitors. Are you a corporal, Sandis? Yes, sir. My name's Renfrew, inspector in charge at Grenbo. This is Constable Sheehan. Yes, sir. Happy to meet you, sir. And Constable Sheehan. How do you know about this Saltier affair, Sandys? Oh, I see, sir. They thought I needed help. It's a bad business. Yes, sir, I know. It looks, Corporal Sandys, as if Saltier had ridden in here and robbed the bank right under your nose. Yes, it does look like that, doesn't it? You were instructed to stand by your post. And when Saltier turned up, you were away. Yes, sir, I was away. Why were you away, Sandys? You knew Saltier was in the country. You knew we were looking for him, yet you allow him to slip through your fingers. Yes, sir. You allowed a criminal whom all the force was looking for to dodge you neatly and completely. He did worse than dodge me, Inspector. What? What do you say? I say he did worse than dodge me. He bribed me. Bribed you? Yes, sir. Bribed me. Look here. I carry it around in my pocket just in case. Glory be. That's money. It is money. $1000 in hundred dollar bills. In consideration of that amount, I was to shut up the post and be out of town while Saltaire cracked the bank. Now, here's the note that came with it. But I don't understand, Sandys. This note reads just as you say. You don't mean to tell me you pulled out of here because of that thousand dollars? Looks like it, doesn't it? Yes, Standish, it does. But I don't believe it. You don't, sir? No, thank you. That's all that counts. And now I'll tell you what happened. On the day of the robbery, I got a phone call saying Salt here had been seen near Colville Ranch. So out I went and I found out it was a plant. Nobody'd seen Salt here and nobody'd sent any phone calls. Well, that's easy. Salty sent it himself. Maybe. Anyway, back I came, and on the way I met an old Indian, Fred Pius. And he handed me this. Did he say where he got it? Oh, yes. He said a strange man gave it to him two days before with orders to deliver it to me. But why did he do it? I mean, why did he wait? He saw it contained money and for a while he was tempted to keep it for himself. As it was, he kept it just long enough. I got the money and I got the note and I was out of town at the appointed time while the bank was robbed. So there it is. Saltier thinks I'm a bribed man, hmm. So it would certainly appear. Well, what are you going to do about it? Well, I'm going to catch up with Salt here if it's the last thing I do. And I'm going to make him swallow this whole bankroll. He can't make a crook out of me. Well, with the Indian to testify for you, you can prove your innocence. No, not to Salt here, Sheehan. He believes he's bribed me and I'm going to show him different. I'm carrying this bankroll right here in my breast pocket and when I catch Salt here, I'm heading south. I thought so. Oh, you did? Well, why? Well, Salt here's an old range rider and that's the way he would head. I've just packed up some grub and Ronnie and I are going to follow. Oh, you'd better wait, Sandys. He's got quite a crowd. You think I'm worried about that, sir? Hello, who's this? Whoever it is, he's in a hurry. Oh, it's. It's Daggett from Glen Afton. Uncle Sandys. Got a message for Inspector Renfrew. I'm Renfrew. What is it? Phone call, inspector, relaying from Glenbow. They said it was urgent, so I came right out to the post. All right, Daggett, what is it? Assault here and his gang are heading for Black Pass Canyon. Are you sure? Oh, don't ask me, sir. That's what they said to tell you. Yeah? Who said it? The clerk, Carstairs at Fort Brandon. He said to tell you to hurry. Don't worry, I'll hurry. All right. Come on, Ronnie. Wait, sand, it's. Where you going? Black Pass Canyon, of course. Head him off. Wait a minute. Hi, Ronnie. Come on, boy. Get going. I call him back, sir. Wait a minute. She in? Crazy young fool yet. I can't blame him. All right, sir. Look, Daggett, there's a police post at Black Pass, isn't there? Yes, sir, there is. Good. Fine. And here's what we'll do. I'll ride back to town with you. Daggett and Sheehan, you go on ahead to Black Path and catch the Corporate, huh? If you can. But that doesn't matter as long as you reach the pass ahead of Saltier. You can do that, all right, Inspector. He's been seen at Fort Brandon. He's taking a long way around. I'll make a few arrangements by phone and follow along as hard as I can. I understand, Sheehan. I want. I understand, sir. I'm to reach the Black Pass ahead of Saltier and head him off. Head him off? No, first not hit him off, sir. No. When Saltier and his gang reach Black Pass Canyon, let them through. Understand? Let them go through. Come on, Daggett, let's get going. We've got work to do. Foster. Foster. I'm here. Stand where you are. Who is it? I'm Sanders, corporal at Glen Afton. I thought I'd find you in the post cabin. Yeah, I figured that. Saltier Might think that too. They tell me he's headed this way, so I've been watching from the dark side of the woodshed. What's new then? He hasn't been.

I've been on the watch ever since. Ah, good, then I made it. You've been riding to cut him off? That's right. I've got to see that swine. You won't see him here. We've got orders to let him ride through. Good. Then I'll go down into the canyon. Come on, Ronnie. Hold on. What's the idea, Corporal? I thought Renfrew was handling this job. He is. He's handling the chase. But I've got to be in at the kill. But the inspector there, Renfrew will understand. Tell him I'll join the posse at Merrivale. Come on. But you can't hold him alone. Good luck, Foster. There's a lunatic if I ever saw one. Yeah, I should say that just about does it. Got the dynamite, Foster? Yes, sir, Inspector. Luckily the road gang had some left. Yeah. There'll be awful surprise when they come back to the job tomorrow. I hope not. Maybe it won't be necessary at all. But if it is. If it is, we'll have them like rats in a bottle. Rats in a trap, Shien. Oh, yes, sir. Only this trap is shaped like a bottle and Arin. Foster, you sure you understand everything? I think so, sir. When Saltier and his gang come along. And that'll be right now, directly, any minute, we let them pass through the canyon as though nothing had happened. Right. I've telephoned down to Merrivale and the inspector in charge will have 10 men at the mouth of the pass in three hours time. Ah, tis a grand plan, sir. A grand plan indeed. We let them in and there they are trapped. Once into the canyon, they can't get out except at the ends, either down through Merivale or through this narrow road at this end. Now, if the men down at Merrivale. Drive them back here. Yes, sir. I stay here and touch off the dynamite. Yes, that's it. Or rather. No, you can't stay here now. They might see you. I know. We'll all go back to the cabin and wait until they ride through. Are you sure that charge is heavy enough? Yes, sir, Positive. See how the trail curves around the canyon wall? Yeah. It's cut right out of the rock. When the dynamite goes off, it'll drop the road right down to the riverbed. 50ft straight down. You'd have to have wings to go through after that. No, it seems a shame to spoil the road. Well, maybe we won't have to. But it's the only way we can stop them without gunplay. If they come riding back with the Marale men at their heels. Hello. What's that? Listen. Horses. Hoof beads coming down the pass and. Roofer. It's them, sir. Come on back to the cabin. Quick. Grab that pick and pop. Got the charge in? Yes, sir. Come on. Talk about touch and go. Just made it in time. A minute more and they'd have caught us at it. Will they see us now, do you think? Don't think so, sir. We hear the horses quite a bit before we see them. Sort of an echo that comes down the canyon. Good. We'll duck in the cabin and close the door. Are all the horses hidden? Our own horses? Yes. Yes, sir. Out and back. Look out, sir. Mind that turn in the trailer. I see it. I'm all right. Lord, sir, If a man fell off here, he'd fall a good long ways. Here we are, sir. Find the door all right. Inside and down below the windows, quick. Hurry, sir. Yes, sir. All right now, sir? I think so. All we do is wait. And by the way, where's Sandy's? He went on ahead, sir. I told him how you'd set things up over the phone and he said he'd ride down the canyon, join the posse at Merivale. And if he can help it. What do you mean, Sheen? Oh, I think Sandy's will want to take Salt here himself. He'll want to take him and choke him on that bankroll before anybody can stop him. I don't know that I blame him. I rather wish he'd stayed here. Why, sir? He's young, headstrong. I don't quite like it, Sheehan. He might do something foolish. Quiet, sir. Here they come. Handful, sir. He's right. Look. Just coming around the bend. Quiet now. Don't let them guess we're here. What if they stop in on the chance? They won't. They're in a hurry. Look, sir. Is that Salt here, the one in the lead? I don't know. Looks like it's pictures, but at this distance, can't be sure. It is Saltier, sir. I saw him at Edmonton on trial. Count them. How many are there? I can just see three so far. Maybe. Maybe there's another. Say, why not rush out right now, sir, and take him? Come on. Hey, quiet, Jim. Stay where you are. Oh, but look, sir, there's only three of them and there's three of us. They'll be back up the trail before we could make it, and then we'd have it all to do over again. Besides, there's more than three. Here's two more. Yes, and another six of them. Oh, well. Still, it's no worse than two to one, sir. Orders, Sheehan. No unnecessary risk. All right, sir. Look, there they go. Down the corner to the south. Safe to go out now, sir? Not yet. They might look back. Now what, sir? When we do go out, you and I, Sheehan, will follow along behind them out of sight. Foster, you will go back up the trail to where we've set the dynamite. Understand? Yes, sir. Wait there. But don't touch it off unless you hear signs of trouble. No, sir. For example, shots or yells. I understand, sir. If possible, we'll try not to blow up the road. But if you do hear shots, well, don't waste any time. Just light that fuse, me lad, and run. Exactly. Run back this way and join us. I'll get going. I think it's safe enough now. All right, sir. And good luck. I hope we catch one. We'll catch him all right. Now then, Shin, is it? It's all right. You can leave the door open. Get on the telephone and warn the inspector down at Merrivale. All right, sir. Tell him Salty has passed through here and he'll be down to the mouth in three hours time. Yes, sir. Hello? Hello? What's the matter? Something wrong? Line seems dead. Let's have it. Hey, you're quite right. It is dead. Does the wire cross the trail anywhere? Do you happen to know? I think it does at that, sir. Just down below a bit. Then they've cut the wire. Well, then we can't warn Mervyn. No, but the cut line will be warning enough. They'll be trying to ring us. And the dead line will tell them what's happened. Yes. Now, come on, Sheen, get the horses and let's follow Saltier. All right, sir. I'll go bring the horses around. Shall I, sir? Yes. Hello. That's sounded like a shot down to the south. Yes, sir. It was a shot. Do you think? Lord, sir, you. You don't think. Don't wait to think. Get those horses. Something's happened down there, Sheehan. Something we didn't expect. We going down, sir? We are as hard as we can ride. Come on, quick. Hey, stop a bit. Pull up forward. Tell me, did you hear anything? I thought I did. Yes, by Jove, I do. Down. Shin. Down. Down the trail. Come on, quick. Come on, boy. Officer. Come on. Come on. Easy. This mountain. Yes, sir. Quick. Down back of those rocks. We can command the trail from here. Yes, sir. Listen. Here they come, sir. Look. Look. It's Saudi comin back. All right. Wait till he gets opposite. Then we'll go out on foot. But don't show yourself yet. All right, sir. Here come the others too. I'll in a bunch. Say, tell me, sir, what's hit them? What's the matter now? Then you're on the trail. Stop. Stop. He's meaning you saw here red coat. Let him have it, boys. Write him down. Let him have it, I say. He count him. Get him some of that dirty cooks. Get down, I tell you. Get down. Don't fire back. Don't fire. Let them through. That's true. Look, they were shooting, sir. Shooting to kill. Oh, look at them. Do you mean to say you're going to let them get away with that? Have you forgotten? Foster would have heard those shots. Oh, Lord, sir, I had forgotten. But look, we're a mile down the canyon. Do you think he'll have heard that far? Sure to. The place echoes like a vault. I know it does. But what if he did? We'll worry about that when the time comes. Right now there's something more important. Yes, sir, I know. Right after him. Black em up. No, no, I don't mean that. Don't you understand what's happened, Sheehan? That I do, sir. A pack of thiever no goods put a bullet clean through me hat. I'll get them for that if it's the last. No, no, Sheehan, no. Look here. Have you ever known outlaws to fire on the mounted? Well, yes, sir, I have heard of it, but only once. And why did they do it then? Well, it seems to me twas because they killed a police officer already. They knew they couldn't be any worse off than that. That's it, Sheen. They fired on mounted police because they'd already killed one. And that's the reason Saltier fired on us. Now do you understand? How could they do with it? They didn't reach the mouth of the canyon. They didn't have time. No, of course they didn't. So what happened? They met an officer on the trail. A mounted policeman who was waiting for them. Sandys. Corporal of the mounted police who was waiting there on the trail to force a thousand dollar bribe down the throat of the man that sent it to him. Come on, Shin. We've got to find him. Come on. Come on, boys, we'll make it yet. Ride for it, Saltier. Look. There's the police cabin we passed on the way down. No wonder we thought it was deserted. They were on the trail waiting for us. Shouldn't have done it, Saltier. Now what you want me to do? Stand there and let them take us? Come on. Right. They'll be after us. After us hard. Let em. Once we get up to the north again, they can hunt all over British Columbia. Pull up, Saltier. Easy one, easy. There's the narrow place dead ahead. Not to go single file. Here. I'll go first. Ah, come on, will you? Think we've got all day, sir. What's that? Dynamite. Big dynamite in the roof. Can't get through now, soldier, what do we do? The trap and us. You redcoats down there on the trail stand and surrender. Stop where you are. Come on, boys. Turn around. Back. Back down the path. Holes are wildfire. Back down the path. It's our only chance. Come on. Rise. Ride. That was the dynamite, all right. Foster stopped them. They're trapped now, sir. They'll be back this way. I only hope so. I want to meet that man. I want to tackle Salt here myself. I'm with you, sir, all the way. But I know, I know. We haven't found Sandy's yet. They killed him, Sheehan. I know they did. Hey, look. Look. She. Where is it? There, on that rock. See those spots? Yes, sir, I see, sir. Blood sheen. Down this way, I think. Come on. Can't be very far away. Do you think so? Well, don't you think there's a chance? Just a chance? Not a chance in the world, Sheehan. They knew what they've done. That's why they rode through us. That's why they fired at us. Look there, sir. There in that patch of sun beyond the rock. A patch of scarlet shihan. A scarlet coat. Oh, poor lad. Straight through the heart. Devils. Thieving, murdering devils. Look, Shehan, his hand there up at his breast. Listen. His coat's unbuttoned, sir. Well, what Was he doing? I think I know. Look here. What? It's the money, sir. The thousand dollars. He was reaching for it, Sheehan. Reaching into his pocket for the bribe. To throw Saltier's dirty money in his face. That's how he died, poor lad. Poor, poor lad. If he'd only thought first of his gun. No, Sheehan, not poor lad. Not a bit of it. A brave, gallant gentleman who held honor before life itself. Hand me that money, Shien. Yes, sir. Here. We've got a job to finish. Renfro. Sir? Listen. It's them. They're coming right with Foster. After them. Good old Foster. Come on out on the trail. Yes, sir. Here they come, sir. Saltiers in the lead. By heavens, they won't get through us this time. Take your rifle, Shin. Yes, sir. Get back on that rock. But, Renfrew, sir. What are you doing? Get back, sir. Get back in the trail yourself. No, Shin. I'm holding this trail. Let them pass through if they dare. Stand where you are, soldier. Stand and surrender. Trawl up. It's no use. I'll take a fool and don't shoot. Don't do it. Out of the way, red coat. Out of the trail. That's enough, soldier. Don't fire. I shot once and I'll shoot again. Stand away. All right, then. Have it. I've got you, soldier. You can't get away this time. I'm throwing stone. You got him. Shot the gun out of his hand. All right. Cover the other, Sheehan. Yes, sir. I've got this one. Well, I'll shoot. Don't shoot. You got me. You got me. I tell you, I'm hit. Stand up there. Stand up, I say, soldier, my shot only clipped your arm. Turn around. Inspector. Inspector Renfrew. Inspector. Thank the Lord. When I heard the shots, I was afraid. It's all right, buster. We've got them. We've got them. Thanks to Corporal Sandis. Thanks to you. Sandy's. What's he got to do with it? Sandis turned them back. Now he's lying up there on the rocks, dead. Why, the crooks. The scum. Let me have to. Stand back. Keep him off me. All right, get back, Foster. This man's a prisoner. If I had my way, he'd hang. He'd hang right here and now. He'll hang, all right. Never fear about that. You can't do that. You can't do it. Oh, don't worry, Saltier. It won't be here. You're going to get a proper ending with all the formalities. Yes, By Jove. All the formalities money can buy. You've earned them. Look here, Salt. Here. Yes. Look at this money, this blood soaked roll of bills. The money you tried to bribe Sandys with. That's why you can count on the formalities, Saltier. You bought them and paid for them. You're lucky they're not crammed down your throat. That's what Sandy's wanted to do. Yes, and he'd have done it too. He wouldn't take your bribe and you killed him. Foster. Yes, sir. Repair that wire and telephone down to Merrivale. Yes, sir. Tell them that Corporal Sandy's job is finished. So we bring to a close another adventure of Renfrew of the Mounted, famous inspector of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, known to thousands of young Americans and Canadians through the books and stories of Laurie York Erskine and specially adapted for radio by George Ludlam.
