stations and standard stations throughout the west invite you to let
george do it
the bookworm turn another adventure of george valentine
my dear mister valentine
i am the owner of a small bookshop
if you are familiar with all with rare editions i'm sure you will recognize my
name
all jacobs humber
well i need your advice
you've heard of bookworms haven't you
of abraham lincoln's i can't relate
of students rioting to keep libraries open so that men may learn
for the past two months my shop has been broken into
but i simply can't bring myself to call the police because
nothing is stolen
not a book not a penny from the cash register
so you must be with me tonight by ten o'clock
because mister valentine
i'd believe i am being visited by the most art and bookworm of them all
the man who jimmy's window merely for the purpose of reading my books
reading
reading what
and why
certainly enough books mister
don't you ever tell any
it is the record in front of the shop is open this program
character
six for a dollar we're trying to surprise anyone it seems to me
or knowing he's never broken in this area
well instead of myself to turn eleven mister valentine never seen the guy
yourself on
why do i say guy what do you say he here there's an out for you just follow me
i don't want to turn the light on the bottom of my head you know i heard you
guys
and i am just
guessing that's all
is that the window over there and i don't know no the window on the other
side of the stockroom
alley entrance
here's my office is in here
we can look at what i mean you can't look at the book and white on that
all you'll be here

uh... business brooks uh... mister valentine
uh... mrs kill it
uh... wife of my assistant auto here in the shop
issued as a month bookkeeping to tell how do you do
a lot of how to go up town to see somebody
we live right next door to the party this is uh... college doesn't have a
photograph in her apartment we uh...
you have records here to lose
children and and well she can join the party and this is a college isn't the
bookworm type issue

something i didn't mention that's all rose and i do marry him
i think you've got
alone
no no i'm not but
excuse me now i'll be leaving
she's been required
not someone to me why i thought the subject
you hear about that

insured that
it's from back someplace
it's not going to be listening for we'll play it come on come on through here
literally wasn't
bookworm to around
you see
like
flash like get out of the way
get home with number
purchase on the sheet on the door glass blind that's all
but the doors and forced all right still open and he's already gone he must have
heard his
uh... he ran out and i'm not a
you see it is true miss about it and every night
but look around
nothing is touched again nothing's ever touched
here you see
you've had a first edition of the stint from boston and not even disturbed
mister valentine right here
for a total
uh...
visitors seems to be interested in all books not new ones
believe it or not you're right here and he was reading
spoke to still open let me see you what is it
all what some power of the gifted use
to see or sells is either to see us
uh...
robot
but
why should i know why anybody should like about birds
my background is a print of mister valentine not the oxford book of
english was okay okay
i waited to see you because i thought you might have noticed something unusual
i am handyman sheriff dust and salesman in the shop
should i have time to notice anything for three nights running somebody's been
breaking in here
to read books to read books
what is wrong with that
what would you like
people should only watch
television on the look i know i don't care if you my wife don't care if you
italy time
what this home but my boss don't you understand he is uh... what you call
uh... persecution but complexes
how one or is another thing he sees a mystery
so somebody should break into read
he should make something on this
or this makes something
why should he worry there is no damages
no damage all right is good without a stupid
you say nobody's up to anything on
no damage to mister hummer why worry what do you mean burns is the word all
right
but
did you tell a fire engine when you hear one
what do you think that's what's coming from come on let's get out of here
only nothing's been damaged george somebody broke into hummer store
during the night and didn't steal anything and now there's a fire but
nothing is damage credit luck in the fire department for that
uh... just look at the water
some other
on a few binding on our noise
isn't important how many of the six red dollar ones with
mister valentine what is it what's going on who is trying to do what to me
the bookworm who reads burn certainly didn't start the fire or it would have
burned up by interest dot no judge the fire didn't actually start here
but it was a
if you had to have been so crazy next door almost burned to the ground that was
the reason for the fire here and all the partners yes yes
for a lot of other live it
they don't own anything there was no loss to anybody
on our
it was here all right with me that the fire was aimed
only why
mister hummer suppose you give me a chance to find out
a of brooks it was a fire investigator here a minute ago let's find various
related to the mister valentine said i'll do it my own way thanks
are you
are you a mark a one-off
you addressing me young man
i uh... i thought you somebody else my whole lot of your brother poor perhaps
j p morgan's ghost
any law against my being me
sorry but what are you staring at bombs are moving
and you have a picture of with no color before it's to display the hair on my
chest naturally
great quite a usual don't you think okay friends you know george you'll find the
children's books on the next carter but that one you're looking at
what are you doing here
georgia poor jay putin and pie
but look like i'm doing taking a bath naturally
just the girls and say goodbye
and i'm using that get your hands off me
the book store isn't that it's open for business i'll say it is
it's wide open now
so the book you're interested in is
certain poems by robert bern
yes a book of burns forms i just picked it up
i suppose you're from the t s eliot protected leave us all this was very
hard work it's the same book i came here to buy this book any objections
no friend
just questions
like uh...
people
edinburgh addition before dials press seventeen ninety three
that's an old addition all right but very authentic addition a very rare one
so i see
priced at seven hundred fifty dollars
and notice that before it is quite valuable mister valentine
returned up in a bunch of secondhand things i don't pick up the doctrine
that's what is so peculiar
why the book room didn't steal a minute
i think it's even more peculiar how this man happened to know what here
and
how about that friend my name is just henry
not friends
not even to my enemies just the creepy well i salute you mister number of things
and that wonderful yes yes henry just a man who sells his pain for a few dollars
a month to sell a book magazine they get back on the rails would i ask you simple
how i knew that book was here
a man told me
not a bird a man what man
an envelope
now i don't know not for you for your mister number
a man in my imprecunious state will do anything for a commission
even talk to the likes of you
i don't buy it once in a while for collectors so they can pretend that they
know how to pick up the authentic items themselves
and this guy's name the man interested in this particular book
why should i bother with his name i don't know just a fact man that's all
don't ask me how he knew i'd find the addition here
i don't know that either
and the reports of what
his name
and justin out
authorization saying he'd be willing to pay up to me that
what's the matter mister jess
what's the matter with the name and re what's wrong
your client is me
nothing i didn't realize that was his name that's all
just a matter of phone to ask me to make the purchase for
i'm getting sick and tired of the user perfectly legal authorization mister
balin you tell mister hummer
you give me a case that's like a jellyfish you can grab onto it
the case of a book where mister balin time to remind you're a little slippery
yourself but i've never heard of emory what's the quiet with its this guy i'm
talking to you
after all
what's the matter what happened to us and i don't think
looking for a shot
no
gold
which some
and
take it all back to summer
it's a case now all right
photos
we'll return to tonight's adventure of george valentine in just a moment
listen to the difference yes now you can actually hear authentic scientific
proof of the difference between u r p m motor oil and premium type motor oils is
designated by the american petroleum institute auto engines are equipped with
a radiated piston rings
enduring operation my new particles of radioactive metal where off the rings
geiger counters of us able to detect the amount of where actually taking place
listen now as the geiger counters click off the difference first the low where
rate of the new r p m
now the much faster where a bit of a conventional oil
you are p m again
you have just heard off and it's scientific proof that you are p m motor
oil cuts in half the where rate of critical engine parts
doubles the life of the average auto engines between major overhauls due to
lubrication
ruled in the laboratory and checked out in severe road service new r p m motor
oil is sold with a money-back guarantee of satisfaction
as for it at standard stations and independent chevron gas stations where
they say
and mean we take better care of your car
and now back to tonight's adventure of george valentine
or some power of the gift to give us to see ourselves as a very serious
yes if your name is george valentine that's how your case started just book
of poems by robert berns
a valuable early edition from the four dials press in edinburgh
a book that someone broke into mister hummer shop just to read
a book that an agent wanted to buy for a collector named emory witzel
and who was emory witzel
well it johnson homicide has an opinion on that because now it seems a little
book may have been the cause of murder and those are his dying words what they
would still emory witzel he tried to tell you
that's right johnson
how do i would apparently been shot just a couple of minutes before on the street
and then came staggering in for help with the task to tell you who did it but
witzel did it
isn't that the usual interpretation and
only who is what's well now you're asking something after we'll find a
no worry i don't be too sure it's like finding the bookworm who disappeared the
minute we got close yes me this guy hummer knows a lot more than uh...
he's the one hired me it's as much great to him as it is to us
a johnson check on that file with you know it started what how can you connect
i don't know just do it with you
only scratch the surface of this thing so far
will never get deeper unless we retrace what we already got
like what you said brooksy
at the bookworm disappeared in the shop last night but he got away correction
angel he was scared away before we ever got a chance to see him
is now what really happened
all that photograph no i think most of them
i want to know how she's feeling
now that she's a widow
uh...
no
please leave me alone i don't know anything i'm i'm sorry mrs coolidge but
you have to help us
you know that i want you in mister hummer's office last night in the first
place
wasn't just listen to records what's it
oh i know what you're thinking but it's not true
yes i like mister hummer
some ways it's been closer than i would have a walk
but you can't make anything out of it all it was my husband but he's dead now
it's all over so what's everybody hiding nothing just
it's time that we think a little hard to be a two seconds to tell us who was in
the stock room last night
when we heard him
you talked loud
you gave him a warning a chance to get away i didn't want to judge them now
is that what you're so upset about
wondering whether or not to be loyal to a dead i know it wasn't auto i don't know
who it was breaking into the store going to the older did you find your husband
was uptown at the time i remember that i really want i don't believe it was i'm
not lying he was at the bedford hotel room two seventeen
well now we're getting someplace
the bedford hotel
sing-along
man named what's on maybe no
i don't know anymore than that i don't
okay
maybe for now that's enough
it's the middle of the afternoon friend come on open the door
two seventeen bedford hotel come on open up
yes and in about one minute i'll spell out the letters on the badge for you
come on come on
dick tracy bad get back in there
no need to show up here
looks like we get paid her class to go on time to see what you mean johnson
big fat guy
answers that book agents description all right and what is this what's this all
about you tell us mister what's all
wrong number of local as that would try to play this marker carers market don't
right at now these is my line of surprise for every party will lead you
brought your shimmy and shake sporting cigars and if you want to shake hands
instead
or smell a carnation on my call we look at it i cut it out
identification
what i want by jim or is jim a good case i know what is new york
so that you mistake what
that's probably mable alaska she's got a couple of dumb friends for you
uh... get away from that
well
you know there's a major head
noted here
yeah i got it thanks
my friend
mable's aside tonight or on the phone here
i guess i would have enjoyed the day if he got anything
and he did let's have a chance record on emery watson
all sure sure there's a record there's such a guy all right or there was ten
years ago in the phony book business
in new york
small world
that's my town what else chance and what do you mean phony book business i mean
like in forgeries fakes for genuine like maybe that book right there in the shop
the robert burns who knows
as for you my friend new york is such an intimate place just sit yourself down a
relax because ten years ago you would have been about the right age hold it
action
to start fires might be
you were in the light of fluid business to my dad
six kids perfume it's a gag you'd go to novelties i showed you my
identification with some of you all
let me see what it's well you know what i'm not going to go
eight-hour
uh...
ho smoke
both parts came to the front of the month
somebody's been in the next room all the time on the can you hear me
got away from the whole part of the doors open the garrick stand alright
what's all over his head so i'll cover the other end just get that street
closed off fast
no no i don't know who it was
i don't know why the five blocks behind stupid
besides maybe the answers right here i was gonna my dirty fired twice but
there's another shell missing
that could be the one that killed auto looks like about the same caliber what
india mine just grab it for a lab check
because there was a lot of fluid in these cans johnson's problem
and i think what the bottle him
sure that's what he carried it and it's empty to hold case or your hunch was
right this guy started the fire but it doesn't go back to the place where the
fire was i got an idea
well this is what's left of their apartment on the road
or really right
and so far the only thing to explain anything is a copy of robert burns
to murders for seven hundred and fifty bucks one at a time johnson
but they're good the first one right sure sure it looks like the bulldozer
check all right so somebody else did the second one
but there
which solar whoever was didn't kill himself
so it's three hundred seventy five bucks for each murder
what's this
these are no lady
a brooksy
and they look
missus cool it yet
one
she's talking to him
and my
you ever see a steamer i'm like this on a lane
well here
heavy wooden screw
what's left of the
quick impression how you get that old-fashioned small printing press
and i was a pretty what he
well he had been in the past i remember that i'm supposed to school which new
workers was up to something that she didn't like with it
before we book was just
and that means humbren that other guy jessica tied right up with it take it
easy
it was a bookworm wasn't there
that person would have been tied up with auto otherwise white power outage you
mean i was
printing book on money it takes a long time
but sure remember
humble even told us auto himself a pick up the copy of burns at auction book
smoke salami seven hundred dollar with the list of the crowd
the car was
pay
somebody got out with the shop there
the bookworm is a second coming back to the book
up in the group's room i said the book was down the shop
but that person in the next room the one who killed him also could have heard us
check
uh... but coming back to the place
when i want to check
the registration
but it's my corrects car
george look in the back
or no no
not another body
box seven or eight foot long just about the right size for a lot you figured yet
what might be really valuable in this the work of any murder for
what are you talking about trying to get away from auto and having to kill him
with burning apartments so people would know about the press
here
here to me
let's see what's inside this
most type
right old style
here at the front of capital c
short johnson it's tight
maybe one book is only worth seven fifty
but think what a few hundred supposedly off any books scattered in markets all
over the world would be well
my car now is that
quick this way
back out of the store or
let's be able to see it
you're not coming for an
triple
here
kind of a dumb stunt was that
coming back to get that one book so that be no record of what autos type look
like
i'll wait so far in over your head anyway that
but it's all kind
so i don't know we are sure
auto tried to get a spot the name emory witzel
but that didn't do it much good
whoever it is used as a different name now
but then i thought of a poem which says
to see ourselves as other c
so back
it's something occurred to me on a lot of trying to say who his killer was
he was just trying to talk to one of the two people there with me
i'm over not just take it easy
back from the car you mean under the car because of the cop to the right here
mr jess was about one
excuse me
i guess it was to the left
yeah angel it was a big-time operation all right
with a double cross for good measure
you see justin my gherkin found out about that and to type that auto made
as a hobby maybe
i don't know whether or not i want to have to use it crookedly and i
perhaps he slipped in the copy of the robert burns to see how successfully was
how much i'd switch one with the book one
yes of course
you don't think it got like my girl could have told a book more race track
sheet to you
no
i just want to buy a book then
because he was a brain angel
the other guy with the arm
the armed double-crossed
if he just thought he was going to run a real clever
but my great family couldn't buy off bottle silly shot up and stole a type of
set fire to the place
just didn't even know about all that until he opened that letter right in
front of him
to find that his partner had signed the name but still to it
he did it so just who was really what's all would have to go into hiding again
well my good walk over the loop
just turned into an army himself until the group
i thought it was mister humbree
who would you see ourselves as illicit
it would from many a blunder frees
and foolish notion
foolish notion
he wants eyes on the emotions instead of the facts
sometimes you can be the most even though the crew which loves that guy
hopper but she was loyal to my husband's top course he doesn't make sense
arrogant but can you see the women in love seldom do why you don't kill me
angel
you wanted it explained in june
but i know who you don't
the name of that poem of robert burns you so
blib about
it's called
to allow
connected
uh...
