tonight. He—
     
    But those were the last words she spoke before all of a sudden a pair of very strong hands grabbed her & another hand forced a wad of Gauze over her nose & mouth soaked in Chloroform.
     
    ROSALIND: N-no! Mm-mm-mm!
     
    Leon Kern decided on a crash of thunder here he shook a big piece of sheet Metal which sounded very realistic to my ears. The rain was stillpelting down when the Scene changed to outside the Police station and the Sound Effect of car doors slamming.
     
    PETER: You can’t do this to me! I know my rights! It’s ridiculous! This is a farce!
    FLATFOOT: Maybe it is maybe it ain’t. Keep goin’. Walk.
     
    And inside the station Captain O’Shaughnessy was waiting for the Flatfoot to bring in Peter Tremayne under arrest.
     
    FLATFOOT: I got him outside Captain. He didn’t come easy.
    O’SHAUGHNESSY: Bring him in.
    FLATFOOT: He says he didn’t do nothin’. And he don’t know nothin’ about nothin’.
    O’SHAUGHNESSY: The jails are full of innocent men.
    FLATFOOT: You said a mouthful there Captain. (Off) In here Tremayne!
    PETER: Captain! This palooka ruined the best night’s sleep I’d had all week. He just dragged me out into the rain and well if you’re accusing me of anything I want my attorney here. This is America! In fact it’s Washington D.C.!
    O’SHAUGHNESSY: Calm down Mr. Tremayne. I just want to ask you a few questions is all. Routine.
    PETER: Routine for you maybe.
    FLATFOOT: You want me to stay Captain?
    O’SHAUGHNESSY: I think I can handle this by myself.
    FLATFOOT: O.K. I’ll wait outside.
     
    And the Flatfoot left so the room was quiet. Peter Tremayne’s voice was quiet too & it was O’Shaughnessy’s turn to be in the dark.
     
    O’SHAUGHNESSY: Mighty fine piece of acting.
    PETER: Thanks.
    O’SHAUGHNESSY: I’ve been meaning to thank you for your help with the alphabet. I never would’ve caught on it was the initials of those poor girls’ last names.
    PETER: I wasn’t quick enough to save Rosalind.
     
    And right on Cue the door burst open and Senator Bentley barged in and when he saw Peter Tremayne his anger went off like a Time Bomb.
     
    SEN. BENTLEY: Tremayne! Where is she? What did you do with her? Where’s Rosalind?
    O’SHAUGHNESSY: Please Senator! This is police work!
    FLATFOOT: Senator if you don’t mind.
    SEN. BENTLEY: It so happens I do mind! Get your paws off me. Grill him! Give him the 3rd degree! He’ll crack. Sure I know his type—all talk, fancy cars and foreign cocktails.
    O’SHAUGHNESSY: Tremayne will talk all right—to me! By the book.
    SEN. BENTLEY: Arrest him! Look at Rosalind’s diary. The last thing she wrote in it—
     
    The Flatfoot had to wrestle Senator Bentley out of the Captain’s office so he had a problem of Loyalty but Mr. Argyll explained that while he was in Uniform on Duty the Flatfoot took his orders from O’Shaughnessy & as soon as he slammed the office door (Leon) Peter & O’Shaughnessy could talk free again no one listening.
     
    O’SHAUGHNESSY: You can’t blame him Peter.
    PETER: No. He’s right.
    O’SHAUGHNESSY: What?
    PETER: Arrest me.
    O’SHAUGHNESSY: Are you crazy? On what charge?
    PETER: Use your brains! Anything. How about—kidnapping?
    O’SHAUGHNESSY: So that’s your plan is it?
    PETER: Yes. It’s the perfect camouflage. Now I’m free to operate as—The Green Ray!
     
    That was all I had to say & The Green Ray summoned all his strength from the Theme Music which came up like a volcano all drums & trumpets it held the Nation spellbound especially Moms for them to hear the Important Message concerning the digestive wonders of Spiller’s High Energy Buckwheat Breakfast Flakes.
    Then the adventure continued as promised & I landed very sly in the lap of a gang of foreign Anarchists by the names of Britzky & Zoharin—
     
    BRITZKY: It’s all very simple Mr. Tremayne. One by one we kidnap the precious daughters of your V.I.P.s Your Senators & Congressmen. Your captains of
