00:00Good evening friends, this is your host to welcome you through the creaking door into

00:15the Inner Sanctum.

00:17Come in.

00:18We would like at this point to deny certain rumors that have been spread around to the

00:23effect that we of the Inner Sanctum lack culture.

00:27While we have our own shelf of the world's great classics, in our case, a six-foot shelf

00:34naturally, we subscribe regularly to such magazines as a Saturday evening goes.

00:43We're all members of the Spook of a Month Club.

00:47There's nothing we like more than curling up in a fire with a copy of Shakespeare's immortal

00:53Midsummer Night's Scream.

00:57In short, we are people definitely interested in the spirit.

01:03And I can safely say that all of us here have received their degree.

01:08Usually, the third.

01:09Tonight's Inner Sanctum mystery, Death's Little Brother, was written by Lou Vitus and stars

01:24Larry Haynes in the role of Danny with Amzie Strickland as Susie.

01:28Very well.

01:34Lock the windows, bolt the door, pull the shade down, pay the premium on your life insurance,

01:41and listen to Death's Little Brother.

01:45A happy-minded opus devoted to the thesis that nobody lives forever, and most people even

01:51live.

01:54Little Brother.

01:55Meet Danny.

01:56A lad on the train.

01:57His ticket paid on his way to...

02:00Suppose you find out.

02:02The big idea about trains is that they go someplace

02:10Someplace where people want to get to

02:13I wasn't going anyplace

02:17I was only getting out of town

02:19The cops wanted to talk to me about a coffee pot that got itself held up

02:24After the conversation, I would have wound up in front of a jury

02:28And a judge would have made a speech about crime

02:30And I'd have spent a year or maybe two in state prison

02:32So I got on a train

02:35Any train, I wasn't particular

02:37But the rest of the people, they picked this train

02:40It was going to places they knew about

02:44Places they wanted to be

02:47I looked at them and skated every one of them

02:51Including the guy who flopped into the seat next to mine

02:55It was around my age, around my size

02:58To somebody in a hurry, he could have been my brother

03:01Quite a train, huh?

03:04Quite a train

03:04Say, would you know how long it'll be before we get to Dorchester?

03:10No, I wouldn't know

03:11That's where I'm headed for

03:12I guess that

03:13Yeah

03:14You, uh, you think they got a smoker on this train?

03:19I wouldn't be surprised

03:20I think I'll go find it

03:22Second train I've been on tonight

03:25A guy who was overdoing it

03:28Not only one train, two trains

03:30A guy who was very anxious to get someplace

03:33So anxious

03:35He hadn't noticed his wallet dropping out of his pocket

03:39I had

03:42A couple of tens, a handful of ones

03:45It went into my pocket fast

03:47Driver's license

03:49Which said the guy's name was Clark Davis

03:52Hard to name for junk

03:54A letter

03:56A letter which smelled of perfume

03:59Night perfume

04:00I read it

04:01Clark Davis had a sister named Susie

04:05She wrote the letter

04:06Her mother and father had died 20 years ago in a car crash

04:10An uncle named Davis had brought up the guy

04:12The girl had gone to another uncle named Carter

04:15Out in Africa, Uncle Carter had died

04:18And left his dough

04:19Lots of it

04:20To his niece Susie

04:21And to his nephew Clark

04:22Clark and Susie

04:25Hadn't seen each other for 20 years

04:27I put the dough back into the wallet

04:31Susie was in the old family shack in Dorchester

04:35That was where Clark was going

04:38That was where I was going

04:41Say, did you happen to notice

04:43This?

04:44Yeah, my wallet

04:45You dropped it

04:46Thanks

04:46For a while I was afraid it was gone

04:48It's come back

04:49Thanks again

04:50He went to sleep sitting in the seat next to me

04:55I didn't go to sleep

04:57Susie and Clark hadn't seen each other for 20 years

05:02I wasn't going anyplace in particular

05:05Dorchester might be just as good a place to get off that as any

05:10Maybe even better

05:13You got her off here too, huh?

05:20Yeah, it looks that way, doesn't it?

05:22What a dump

05:23Station's dark

05:25Not a cabin site

05:26Wasn't anybody supposed to meet you?

05:28I didn't tell her what train I was coming on

05:31Her?

05:32My sister

05:33Oh

05:34Live in town?

05:36Nope

05:36I'm out on Lakeshore Drive

05:38Wherever that is

05:39I know where it is

05:39You wait here

05:40I'm heading out that direction myself

05:42Maybe I can rustle up a car

05:43Hey, Frank

05:43I swear on you

05:44Forget it

05:45It's on my way

05:46I'd spotted a sign down the street

05:50A cheap hotel battling the termites

05:53I went in

05:54Hey

05:57Huh?

05:58Oh, yeah

06:00Where's Lakeshore Drive?

06:01Oh, a couple of miles out

06:03East on the highway

06:03Can't miss the turnoff

06:05I need a car to get there, don't I?

06:06Yep

06:07Got one you can let me have?

06:08Yeah

06:09Old station wagon

06:10But, uh

06:11You didn't mention your name

06:13I didn't, did I?

06:16It's Clark Davis

06:17Susan Carter's brother?

06:19Yeah

06:19Well, we've been hearing a lot about you in town

06:23How about that station wagon?

06:24Why, sure

06:25Seeing as who you are

06:26Won't have any need of it tonight

06:28There you are

06:30Glad to be of service

06:32Run fine

06:34Only you gotta be careful of the brakes

06:35Don't worry, I'll be careful

06:36Hold on

06:37Station wagon was there

06:41And so was Clark

06:42Came along after you

06:43Yeah, that's station wagon

06:44Hop in

06:45Okay

06:45I was pretty sure

06:50Nobody had seen Clark

06:51Get into the car

06:52And pretty sure

06:54It would have to be good enough

06:55We hit the turnoff in ten minutes

07:08And I began pumping the hand choking

07:10Clark had his eyes closed

07:12Look

07:14Hey, what, what happened?

07:16Motor

07:16I'll, uh

07:17Have to take a look at it

07:19Know much about Clark?

07:21No, not a thing

07:21Might be trouble

07:22Now, let's see what's under the hood

07:25Oh, yeah, yeah

07:27Carburetor's flooded

07:29Is that bad?

07:29That's serious

07:30Take a while to drain off

07:31In the meantime

07:32There's a flake over there

07:33Like to take a look at it?

07:34Yeah, sure

07:35The bank's kind of steep

07:37Oh, it's no hurry

07:38The water looks good

07:40That three quarters of the flake

07:43Well, why don't you get some water on your face

07:44It might wake you up

07:45Yeah, it's not a bad idea

07:46Oh, boy, it's cold

07:49Cold and deep

07:50Davis

07:52Huh?

07:53How's your sister going to know it's you when you show up?

07:55I'll tell her

07:56Didn't you send her any pictures of yourself?

07:59No, I haven't got any pictures

08:00Come on down here

08:02The water's fine

08:03Yeah, sure

08:04Say, it just occurred to me

08:07How come you know about Susie and me?

08:10Hotel clerk, town gossip

08:11Oh

08:12Better be careful with the rocks

08:15I'll be careful

08:16And I was

08:18There were lots of rocks around

08:20I didn't grab just any rock

08:24I picked one that was heavy enough

08:25But not too heavy to handle, you see

08:27And I went down

08:29Well, I certainly feel a lot better

08:32So what do you got that rock for?

08:35The rock?

08:36You weren't thinking of trying to skip that across the water, were you?

08:40Skip it?

08:40What you need is a flat rock

08:41I want a whole lot smaller

08:43What I need is this rock

08:44He went down, sprawling over the rocks at the edge of the lake

08:48He wasn't dead, but after a while

08:51He was dead

08:55I went through his pocket

08:57Wallet identification letter from Susan Carter, the worst

09:00It went into my pocket

09:02It wasn't robbery, though

09:03I gave him my wallet

09:04And I gave him some rocks, too

09:06Loaded his pockets with him

09:09So when I jumped him in the lake, he went down

09:12He'd stay down, too, for a while

09:14And if he came up in a week or two, he'd be a guy called Danny

09:18Wanted by the cops for larceny

09:20And he wouldn't have much of a face left to identify

09:23I turned around and headed back for the car

09:26Now I was somebody who had some place to go to

09:31Yes?

09:42Hello, Susie

09:42Hello

09:43Oh, you must be

09:45Haven't you got a kiss for your big brother?

09:47Clark

09:47Oh

09:48I, uh, didn't wire

09:52I thought I'd surprise you

09:53Oh, it's a wonderful surprise, Clark

09:55Oh, I'm so glad you came

09:57I was lonely

09:58Lonely?

09:59Well, this is your home

10:00I've never lived there

10:01Uncle and I were dead over here

10:02Oh, but of course you know that

10:04Yeah, sure

10:05You let her

10:06See?

10:07It's funny, after such a long time

10:10But you know, Clark, I think I'm going to like my brother

10:13He's kind of handsome

10:15Well, I guess it runs in the family

10:16Thank you, darling

10:18Say, uh, I'm kind of tired

10:20Oh, of course you are

10:21Come on

10:21I'll show you the room

10:23I sort of expected Mrs. Brenner to be with you, though

10:27Mrs. Brenner?

10:29I bet she's a wonderful person

10:31Mrs. Brenner

10:32Clark, what's the matter with you?

10:35I'm talking about the housekeeper

10:37One who practically brought you up

10:39You wrote me about her, don't you remember?

10:41Oh, yeah

10:41Yeah, sure, I remember her

10:43I'm just fuzzy

10:45I haven't had much sleep

10:46I know

10:47Well, like your room?

10:50Yes, well

10:51I've got Mrs. Brenner's room ready for her

10:53Down the hall

10:54Susie

10:54Yes

10:55Susie, she, uh

10:57She didn't come with me because, uh

10:59Well, because she wasn't feeling too good

11:01Matter of fact, I

11:03I don't know when she'll get here

11:05You're worried about her, that sweet, Clark

11:07But you don't really have to

11:09Huh?

11:09I got a phone call from her

11:11Oh, about half an hour before you came

11:13You did?

11:13Uh-huh

11:14She said she'll be here

11:15First thing in the morning

11:16Good night, Clark

11:18With Mrs. Brenner doing the morning

11:28Mrs. Brenner, who knew Clark Davis

11:31I had things to think about

11:32One of them was finding out

11:34When the train came

11:35I found out

11:37It was coming in early the next morning

11:40Which meant I had to be early, too

11:42Very early

11:43Clark?

11:46Huh?

11:46Oh, Susie

11:48Good morning, darling

11:49Why you up so early?

11:51Oh, what about you?

11:52I always get up early

11:53Don't forget I'm taking care of the house

11:55Well, I, uh

11:56Gotta get the station wagon

11:57Back to the hotel

11:57They don't need it

11:59Not right away

11:59And besides, Mrs. Brenner's coming in

12:01Oh

12:01I want to meet her at the train

12:02Well, she could always get a cab

12:04Yeah, but, uh

12:05Well, I'd like to make sure she gets here

12:08I'd, uh

12:09Like to make sure

12:10But she didn't come in

12:17Not on that train

12:19Hi, Mr. Davis

12:21Huh?

12:23Oh, the clerk

12:23Yep

12:24Seen somebody off?

12:26No

12:26Expecting somebody?

12:27No

12:28Well, it's fun watching trains

12:31I brought the hotel space wagon

12:32Oh, well, it was in no great hurry

12:34Uh, cigarette, Mr. Davis?

12:37I don't smoke

12:37Ain't much of a habit

12:39I guess the other fella

12:41Left this back in the station wagon then

12:44What the fella?

12:46Yeah, one that you was with last night

12:48I was alone

12:48Looked kind of sick

12:50Guess he's staying out of the house with me

12:53I tell you I was alone

12:53Thought you might have some trouble

12:55Starting the wagon

12:56You were so nervous

12:57Well, I was tired, that's all

12:58So I kind of drifted over to the window

13:01In front of the hotel

13:02And seen you help him in

13:04I told you I was alone

13:05That's right

13:05I, uh, I guess the pack of cigarettes

13:09Could have been left in the car

13:10Before last night

13:11Sure

13:12Even though I cleaned it out

13:14Sorry before you took it

13:15And, uh, I guess

13:17Maybe I could have made a mistake

13:19About, uh, seeing another fella

13:22Get in with you

13:23Mr. Davis, Joe

13:25I need a little time

13:27To think about, uh, these mistakes

13:30Get my mind straight about them

13:32Can't do that if I have to keep on working

13:35I don't get it

13:36Well, I could use a vacation

13:38And take one

13:39Well, I can't afford it

13:40Blessing a rich young fella like you

13:43Feels like helping out

13:45Well, I haven't

13:45The whole town knows about the legacy, Mr. Davis

13:48Now, uh, I ain't the fancy kind

13:52Say, uh, couple of thousand dollars

13:55Hmm?

13:56Couple of thousand

13:57You're crazy

13:59No

14:00Just need a vacation awful bad

14:03Say, uh, tonight

14:05Tonight?

14:07Yep

14:07All right

14:09Where can I meet you?

14:11Well, stop by the house

14:13No, no

14:13My sister

14:14Well

14:15Outside the house, then

14:17Okay

14:18Uh, down either road

14:21By the lake

14:22Sounds all right

14:23Around eight

14:24You better wait inside the house

14:26Till you hear a hoot owl

14:28Go three times

14:29I do awful good

14:30Hoot owl

14:31Ain't any real ones around

14:33So you'll know it's me

14:35Yeah

14:35I, uh, don't want you

14:37Waiting outside for me

14:39In the dark

14:39You

14:40Might catch cold

14:43So long, Mr. Davis

14:45See you tonight

14:47And, uh, besides doing a good hoot owl

14:51I'm pretty good at shooting things

14:53Comes from the hockey

14:55You don't want to forget that

14:58Do you?

15:06Clark

15:06Yeah

15:07You're so fidgety

15:09Well, I'm, uh, kind of worried

15:10How about Mrs. Brennan?

15:11She'll probably show up tomorrow

15:13No, no

15:14Not about her

15:14Uh, Susie

15:17Uh, Susie

15:18I've got some debts to take care of

15:20Oh?

15:20I, uh

15:21I guess the legacy is all set, isn't it?

15:23Uh-huh

15:23I'd like to lay my hands on some of it

15:25Just, uh

15:27Just for the fun of it

15:28Well, it'll take only about a week

15:29Before it comes through, Clark

15:31A week?

15:31You know all the legal red tape and stuff

15:34Yeah

15:34Yeah, but a week can be an awful long time

15:37Uh, Susie, you wouldn't have any money

15:40Of course I have

15:41Well, how much can you let me have?

15:42Against my share, of course

15:44Two, three hundred dollars?

15:46That's all

15:46Clark, are you in trouble?

15:48No, no, no

15:49Of course not, only

15:50Well, do you think the lawyer in charge of the estate might have asked you, though?

15:54I don't think so

15:55Why not?

15:56Well, most of Uncle's money is tied up a drug

15:59Yeah

15:59Yeah, well, that's it

16:01It's it

16:02It's it, what?

16:04I'll just have to wait, Susie

16:05That's all

16:06I might have paid the clerk off if I had the money

16:13Might have

16:15But this way

16:17It was going to be cheaper

16:18And safer

16:18He was waiting for me down by the lake

16:22And he had a gun

16:24He told me that

16:25I'd have to come to him

16:27Tracing him

16:28If he saw it

16:28But he forgot the lake

16:30I'd had all day to find a boat

16:33I found one

16:34There was no moon

16:36Though it was dark

16:37There was a wind

16:39Which made noise

16:40More than noise enough

16:43To cover the sound of the boat

16:44Even

16:44Even if he'd been listening for it

16:47And he wasn't

16:47I was wearing a white shirt

16:50Which made it easy

16:51He was standing a couple of feet from the shore

16:55Facing towards the top

16:56I let the boat drift the last two yards

17:00Quieter

17:02Besides, I needed an oar for another purpose

17:06It was a heavy oar

17:08I was out of the boat and hit the shallow water

17:12There was a splash

17:13But it didn't register on him until I was close

17:15Hey, what?

17:16He started turning

17:16It was almost all the way around

17:17Went

17:17Ow!

17:18Ow!

17:19Ow!

17:20Ow!

17:21Ow!

17:26The house was dark

17:29When I got back

17:30Susie asleep

17:31That was good

17:31I'd had enough for a day

17:33More than enough

17:34I went to my room

17:35And hit the head

17:36I didn't bother on Jesse

17:39I wanted darkness fast

17:41Darkness

17:43And quiet and sweet

17:45And though I didn't expect it to come

17:49It came

17:51It seemed

17:53What the?

18:03Who the hell?

18:06No, there aren't any around here

18:08There aren't any

18:08God was coming from the direction of the lake

18:12I was dreaming, sure

18:14But I had to go outside

18:16When I got close to where I put them

18:20There was no more time

18:23The earth over them

18:26Hadn't even been touched

18:27He was still under it

18:29Deep under it

18:30Where I'd put them

18:30After I finished with the oar

18:32Even if he'd still been able

18:35To hood like them

18:36Ow!

18:36You couldn't hurt them

18:37Not with all that earth

18:38On top of them

18:39I'm sure I'd been dreaming

18:42I got back to the house

18:48That's where the hood owl

18:50Was yelling from

18:50Except that when I got back

18:52The house was the same

18:53And my room was the same

18:54Till I put the lights on

18:55What?

18:57I nearly let go of it

18:58I nearly turned and ran

19:00Because

19:01Because sitting in the chair

19:03Next to my bed

19:04Was Mr. Davis

19:06Mr. Clark Davis

19:09Dead and in prison

19:12The water was dripping

19:15From his clothes

19:15Under the floor

19:16But there was no blood

19:17Nothing more

19:17He was cold when I touched him

19:20Because I had to touch him

19:21I didn't want to

19:21I wanted to run

19:22To get away

19:22To keep running forever

19:23But I went to him

19:25And I touched him

19:27And his body

19:28Was cold and wet

19:30And solid

19:30My hand didn't control

19:31That was all I needed

19:34I headed downstairs

19:35Susie had a car

19:36A convertible

19:37Back to the house

19:37I was there all right

19:39I reached in

19:40Felt the seats

19:41One of them was wet

19:41I went to the front of the car

19:43And touched the hood

19:43It was warm

19:44All he asked was

19:45Except one

19:45And that one

19:46I'd get in person

19:47I turned back to the house

19:48I wasn't thinking anymore

19:49Just doing what had to be done

19:50But I should have

19:52Prosted

19:52Both shots had got me

19:57It ain't good

19:59Oh

20:01Not trying for anything fancy

20:04Like the head

20:05Both shots were in me

20:08Deep

20:08I hit the ground

20:11And stayed put

20:13Blake did

20:15It was easy

20:17A rehearsal

20:18I could taste my own blood

20:20And my mouth

20:21Soon it wouldn't be

20:24A rehearsal

20:24But the real thing

20:25But before that

20:28He stopped

20:32He was smart

20:34He stopped a few feet away

20:38From me and waited

20:39I didn't breathe

20:42She was one of those

20:44Don't thrift more noise

20:45After a while

20:48She came a little closer

20:49She'd seen the blood

20:52I was lying in

20:53She came a little closer

20:56And I still had strength enough

20:59To roll

21:00And hit her ankle

21:01And bring her down

21:01I got a risk

21:03She still was

21:05Watching through the gun

21:06Too far

21:06To get out

21:07And I still danced with

21:09But

21:09Darling what's the matter

21:11With you

21:11It's no use

21:12You dragged your brother

21:13Out of the lake

21:14Didn't you

21:14You hooted like an hour

21:16You saw me kill a hotel clerk

21:17Didn't you

21:17I'll let you feel

21:18The better I did

21:19Better let go of me

21:21You're not doing yourself

21:23Any good breathing

21:23The way you are

21:24Why shoot me

21:25Why didn't you yell

21:26At the cops

21:26You had the goods on me

21:27All you had to do

21:28Was show him

21:28Your brother's body

21:29Why drag it into my room

21:30Why try to drive me nuts

21:31Because you

21:32That body in your room

21:34Isn't my brother

21:36Brother

21:38Who is he

21:40A friend

21:41A boyfriend

21:43What about

21:44What about your brother

21:46You want to close your breath

21:48A dying man like you

21:50What about your brother

21:51He was murdered

21:53Fine

21:53The man you fought

21:55Was my brother

21:55Why

21:56Because my uncle

21:56Left all the money

21:57To my brother

21:57He didn't trust me

22:00Didn't like me

22:00So I had my brother killed

22:03The man you met

22:05On the train

22:06Was going to impersonate

22:07My brother

22:07Until the war went through

22:08You had to come along

22:11Yeah I had to come along

22:12When you walked in

22:14I didn't know what to do

22:14I tested you

22:16There is no Mrs. Brenner

22:17But you fell for it

22:18So I knew you didn't

22:20Come from across the town

22:21Why did you shoot me

22:22I think for the corner

22:24For the act

22:24Not after you killed

22:25The hotel clerk

22:26He'll be missed

22:28If I couldn't afford

22:30To have an unsolved

22:31Murder around

22:31They'd find out

22:33About my real brother

22:34This way you're a killer

22:36My brother's dead

22:38Because of you

22:39I'll get the money

22:41She'd stop trying

22:45To get away

22:46She was waiting

22:49For me to die

22:50And I was dying

22:52All right

22:53But I was still

22:55Strong enough

22:56My

22:57No

22:58Don't

22:59No

23:00No

23:01No

23:01Still

23:04Still

23:05Long enough

23:06Thanks

23:08And I

23:09With me

23:12Now that I think

23:24Pretty much winds up

23:25The sad story of Danny

23:27A winsome lad

23:29Who only wanted

23:30A new address

23:30And discovered

23:31That the housing

23:32Situation is

23:33Murder

23:34We can sympathize

23:36With his feeling

23:37About rent feelings

23:38But he really

23:39Shouldn't have

23:40Raised the rule

23:41Of course

23:42It's no fun

23:43To be out in the cold

23:44But did Danny

23:45Have to go to the other

23:46Extreme

23:47The person that we

23:50Really don't understand

23:51Though is Susie

23:52She didn't have

23:54To kill Danny

23:55After all

23:56He only wanted

23:57To be a brother

23:58To her

23:59My

24:10Pleasant

24:12Dream

24:13Or

24:17But

24:22He only wanted

24:23To be a woman

24:25And the
