I was going along   2   at about thirty-five miles an hour when suddenly I heard a scream, a woman’s scream—“  3  !”I looked round, but the only   4  of life was a large, black, rather suspicious-looking car just   5  a bend in the road about a hundred yards   6  .That was   7  the cry had come from. I   8   speed and went after it. I think the driver saw what I was doing,  9   he did the same and began to draw away from me.

“Fool!”he shouted   17   he came towards me with his fist raised to hit me. But I was quicker than he. I put all I knew into   18   that would have knocked out Joe Louis. It caught him right on the ground without a   19  .I rushed to the car,  20   open the door and peered inside. There was no girl there. Suddenly from the back of the car came a voice.

“You have been listening to a radio play. Murder in Hollywood, with Mae Garbo and Clark Taylor. The news will follow immediately.”
