0:00Petri wine brings you Thousand last bone and Nigel Bruce and the new adventures of Sherlock Holmes The Petri family the family that took time to bring you good wine invite you to listen to Dr. Watson He tells us about another exciting adventure. He shared with his old friend that master detective Sherlock Holmes And you know what I wish I could share with you sometime a bottle of Petri California's sheriff Have you ever tasted Petri's Sherry? It's just perfect before dinner Why that Petri Sherry can change the usual before dinner law into a special event and that's a fight Just look at the clear color of Petri's Sherry. It's a deep rich amber clear and cheerful looking and Wait till you taste it. That's when you find out for sure just how good a wine can be That's when you find out just what I mean when I say that the flavor of Petri Sherry comes right from the heart of the great

1:04Try Petri Sherry by itself or with or derives or canopies or whatever you call those little cocktail sandwiches and say if you like your Sherry dry Well then Petri California pale dry Sherry is the Sherry for you Just be sure the label says Petri the proudest name in the history of American wine And Now let's look in on our old friend doctor once doctor I see the welcoming committees here They begin to think they own this patio School for more for Sherry for the park villain And suckle yourself down all right I'll get all right That's it my boy The matter of fact it's not appropriate the puppy should be here tonight and in the story that I'm going to tell you a Dog who played a most prominent part a dog what kind of a dog?

2:07I know my boy don't get me anticipating my story But once I'm gonna start the beginning which was on a summer morning in 1800 and 90 what long after my marriage? I'd gone back to my private practice you know and Sherlock Holmes was living alone in our old back street rooms You're still signed my surprise indeed I did was to bar tell in fact occasionally I even proceeded him to go here for he me and habits So far as to visit my wife and me to get back to my story I've been exceptionally busy that summer in consequence was feeling rather should we say nervy and run down So much so that Mary This is well, so it's me to take a fortnight holiday We went down to the charming little village of Cap though on the lurches of the river Tim's Like this so often happens the best laid schemes of mice and men gang I guess the holiday backfired on your doctor and you found yourself involved in a mystery Maybe a mystery calling for the aid of your old friend Sherlock all right correct with the bar tell We don't do it down that a couple of days when the trouble began in fact the whole thing became so involved

3:10That I don't have the thing to do was to put the whole strange story in a letter to Sherlock Oh this idea and Imagine how he called You know what He's a little out of his dip My dear home I need your help or at least your advice Two days down here and I've come involved in a most unusual problem again this morning And Mary and I would often not to bet to stole the summer shining the birds was singing and there seemed every indication of it being a happy and You know Mary I've always thought up to now that's fun. It was rather silly word. I still do John dear Never less it's the only possible word to describe the day like this Very well dear. It's for me Personally, I'm so happy to see you relaxing that I don't care what the weather's like you've been working much too hard Yeah, it's busy. Yeah, so last year Sherlock Holmes monopolized most of your time at least I've got you to myself for one

4:13Hey, you've dear little thing you always be off the jealous of my association with home Gelis dear, but I must confess his influence on you wasn't entirely for the good He had a happy that you out all night. Well, you should be used to that deal after all it happens often enough in my practice True John, but on those occasions. I know where you are and don't worry about you And again, copy too many of this promise eccentricity Keeping your tobacco in a person's liver for it And oh John, look down Do you see that woman walking across the field towards it? Yeah, no, what's her mind? You know, I'm not sure But I think it's that in Walburton. I believe she does live somewhere near here. Who is that in Walburton? An old friend of mine She's five-click camera in advance. She's interested in women's suffrage and all sorts of things Oh sounds good for them. Imagine giving women the right to vote That place is in the house Give me a melon! Ellen! Ellen! Ellen! And the Walburton? Oh, how are you? Look at him He's a little awesome I'm very nice to see you again. I'm Mary Watson now. This is my husband. How you doing with Robert and Honey?

5:18How do you do? Mary, I'd heard that you'd marry. Aren't you a medical detective or something Mr. Watson? And not quite dear. I hold a degree of Doctor of Medicine from the University of Lutton, madam But he's helped the great Sherlock Holmes on many of his cases. That's how I've heard of him then You mind if I walk with you a little way? Of course not, Ellen. Come along Herd you live near here, Miss Woodley? About four miles away, Doctor. Chevy range. I'm a glorified housekeeper for my uncle, Colonel Walburton Oh, dear, that sounds rather dull for you. As a matter of fact, the state of my uncle's health at present moment makes it anything but dull for me. That's why I asked if I might walk with you for a way. Well, what's the matter with you, madam? He's going mad. Before my eyes, and I can do nothing to help him. Mad? Come, I'm a swobb from the show, Ellen. Doctor, I'm not an hysterical girl. In fact, I regard myself as something of a scientist. I studied physics for a hundred of years at Bristol University. And I tell you that my uncle is going insane. Oh, something.

6:19Most of the time, he's perfectly normal. But when he's a passer on, he gets in the most frightful radius and says the strangest things. He's even complained of hearing a spilled, piping whistle that comes out of nowhere. I can't hear it, nor can anyone else. But I'll get into the most dreadful state. I wonder, would you have a look at him for me, Dr. Watson? No, I don't. I'm the first. John will do everything he can. Thank you so much. Hey, supposing you both come over for this. Some idea, Holmes, suddenly got this evening. We found ourselves approaching Chavvy Gray. There's a lot of forbidding looking place, covering with a more than an acre, I should say. As we stood waiting for it, Middense, I must confess that I was not an idiot. Brume, look in places, not me. There's a little forbidding, John, dear. Oh, dear, what's that? Sounds like a Tom Tom. Someone's singing a weird chard. Seems to be coming from the direction of that barn over there.

7:20It doesn't seem quite appropriate, dear, does it? I mean, nothing the heart of fucking a chair. Why not knock on the door again, John? It was all out of the wall. Perhaps they didn't hear it. Oh, they did. Oh, is it? Oh, yes. It's Dr. Mrs. Watson, my good man. That has the same, sir. Come in, please. The Colonel's expecting you, sir. He's in the study. This way, sir. By the way, Hacker, as we were waiting outside the front door, we heard a strange chant, and it sounded as if someone was beating a Tom Tom. Oh, that's... That was Miss Nader. You'll be here with more of her. From the beginning, what happened next? There's a very unpleasant fellow, Hacker, so this is the study where we make an orbiting. First, it was hard to believe that he was a sick man. He looked well enough in his conversation with Sprite Leigh.

8:22Spent most of his army life in Africa, as military government and solo district. The atmosphere is another trophies that line just study walls, bore mute evidence to his craft life. He encouraged me to tell him some of my own army experiences. Who's here? Who's that old? It's very rough, sir. There I was, Colonel Walbutton. On the howder of this wretched elephant. River was a raging torrent, and I couldn't get the confounded animal to budge. Well, I'm a pretty strong swimmer, you know? Uncertain capture swiveys, a matter of fact. Of course, I was much younger man there. And now... Yes, and here. You interrupted Colonel Walbutton's story, yeah. Oh, sorry. Well, instant would be interesting, sir. Do go on, Colonel. You'll stop even though he's in. You were telling us that you were intercepted by an African drum code message. Oh, yes, yes. Well, I don't want to sound conceited, but I doubt if there was not an Englishman in the world who could have told you what those particular drum beats made. Well, I don't doubt that Colonel Walbutton did. I'd spent a good number of years studying the native customs. I spotted the code right away.

9:24It meant an uprising was planned to start brought for whole province at noon the next day. Of course I did. There it is again. A devilish whistle. And you hear a duck Watson? Mrs. Watson? I can hear nothing, sir. No, can I? Of course not. No one could hear it, but me. No, no, no, no, no, Colonel Walbutton, don't get so excited, sir. It's like magic, that's what it is. Oh, really? Oh, you may just be alive at the powers of jungle, which craft a completely unknown in this country, Dr. Watson. But I know of them. And I can think of many people who might wish to employ them against me. Did you...? I mean, I mean... Oh. But it's you, Nutter. Great scutchy, she's... She's very beautiful. Nutter, I want you to meet some friends of Evans. Dr. and Mrs. Watson. I'm very pleased to meet both of you. How do you do? How do you do, Mrs. Nutter? The Nutter's father was a chagodulla. One of the greatest zealow chiefs in Zaire, at the privilege of knowing. He did neither air on it, a swear blood brotherhood. But when the missionary sent Nutter to England who completed her education

10:25and sister Ditchie spent her first few months here under my wing, I... Listen, what is it, Colonel? That whistle again. I haven't said say that you heard it this time. Please say that you did. I didn't hear the things, though. Oh, I did. And I know where that sound came from. And I put down that spirit once when you got involved. You were the Friday King, they all killed him first. No, no, don't try it. I don't try it. Something's up in the door. It's Ellen. Great scutth. The spirit missed a by an inch. Oh, who is it? Whistle. I got it again, Ellen. And I'm going to find where it came from. I... For Uncle. Of course you heard no sound. Nothing, Ellen. What can we do to help him, Dr. Watson? Well, it's hard to say, Miss Warden. Sure, the medical helps what she needs. He seems perfect to say and elucidate except for these strange outbursts. I think he must do something. Post-a-medum. But who's I to back to the inn? I think I'll write to my old friend Sherlock Holmes.

11:26I can't feel that the man should be committed to an asylum and get obvious here when these attacks were on him. He says, matter to have a... Passing it in problem and one to call this speedy action. I think it's telegrammed to my friend Watson. I'd hope to tell if I saw him aspect to the case. Yeah. Let's see... John H. Watson. Redland in Teplo Bucks. I suggest that you have to pay in one moment. Pay in one moment. What in fact does the Warden house have a dog? They're not for buy homes. That's a cryptic answer. That's a... Yes, there it is. I'm afraid I'll not be disappointed. He's coming over to join us for lunch to see if you're having a new one. I don't know. It's conducts the medical case. I can't possibly... Yes, Helen now. Good morning, Helen. Hello, Mary. Good morning, dog. Good morning. I suppose it's too early to have received any reply from Mr. Holmes. Well, as a matter of fact, I just got this telegram from him.

12:27He's really good, right? I can't see it. It makes much sense, was it all? But that's extraordinary. I did have a little dog. He was killed a week ago. But it didn't occur to me to tell you about it yesterday. That's amazing. How could Mr. Holmes have known about it? Then it looked all at Holmes, doesn't know, my dear. How does your dog kill this, Warden? I found him in the grounds with his head smashed in by a stone. Oh, how dreadful. What do you think? Did it? It might have been a polcher. And then again, it might have been... Your uncle? It's possible. But he's in those rages. I don't think he knows what he's doing. That's very important. I think I should go and send Holmes a telegram at once. Don't wait lunch for me. Why do they have to walk over to the station?

13:27See if there was an answer at the station telegraph. I'll just tell the wire that I sent Holmes. Oh, there's only 30 dear. It's hard to possible for him to answer this quickly as well. In any case, they deliver the telegram to the hotel, you know? Well, it was a nice walk, my dear. Hello, there's a train in the station now. I wonder where it's from. Why don't you ask Pep Porta to do it? That's not a bad idea. A border... What trains it? Oh, it's the London train, sir. Right on time. Next stop, ready? Not many people getting over there, either. Greg Scott, look who's here. Yeah, it's Mr. Holmes. And he has a dog on the leash. Oh, what? My dear fellow, how are you? This is Watson, how nice to see you again. Thank you, Mr. Holmes. I will light it your hair over there. We walked through the station to see if you'd answer my telegram. You are in person. It occurred to me that I'd be down here at the same time that we'd take a telegram to reach you. And I decided that a day or two in the club would make a person change. Apart from the fact that Colonel Wolbert and his problem interests me enormously. Warner, you bring a dog. I thought that this was a case in which a dog would be

14:28of intolerable assistance. Oh, did it happen, John? Yes, look out, O'Jabby. I think we'll be safe and not fat. I picked him up in the Mylion Road for a couple of stories, and I fear he's a dog that should have remained in London. A singularly unattractive nature seems to have been entirely ruined by a honest plane ride. I'm certain broken, isn't it? By the way, Holmes, what do you make of the case from my little... Well, I should prefer to reserve my judgment to let the Colonel. However, I will not say one opinion. Oh, what's that? The paraphrase of... A verb, don't disbelieve all you don't hear. Well, I can't think why someone doesn't answer. They can't all be of... Well, while we're waiting, I think I'll tell the dog up to his feet. Well, I don't want my web too much commotion. Why? Why? What do you think perhaps we could try the dog, John? Yes, certainly. It's good idea.

15:28Hello, brother. It's time to look. Let's go in, old fella. Let's go in. Colonel Wolbert? Colonel Wolbert? Alan? What was the name of that... Buckler's bullet? Heca. Is what that's a Heca? Heca. Heca. We have to be an episode. A dog. Oh, food that I am, I shouldn't have left to be here. Come on. Oh. We're too late. Oh, the poor dog's been killed. Yes, poor brute. Step to death by one of the Colonel's fears. That proves it, how? The man is mad. I think not watching him. I think it proves that Colonel Wolbert and there's a great deal more saying that some of the members of his foreselled. You'll hear the rest of Dr. Watson's story in just a few seconds.

16:30Time for me to remind you that there's one secret every smart woman knows. Simply, good wine makes good food taste better. And by good wine, naturally, I mean petri wine. Try a petri wine with your dinner. If you want a wonderful red wine, try petri California burgundy. If you want a perfect white wine, try petri California salt turn. In fact, try and both. You'll agree I'm sure that next to your good cookie, nothing can do more for a meal than a glass of good wine. A glass of petri wine. And now back to tonight's new Sherlock Holmes adventure, the story of Colonel Wolbert and his madman. Holmes, why are we hitting for this bomb? It seems to me that you should be back in the house. Why, old chap? Found the house empty. Besides, I thought I heard.

17:33What is it? Listen. It's the same sound that Mary and I heard yesterday. Once, once coming from the barn. Come on, Watson. Let's try it, please. You can see from this window here. What's that? The little girl. Not her. She's putting a drum and chanting. What's the man with her? It's Colonel Wolbert. No, it's his. It's that sound for a hecka. What can funnessy do in here? Time to just imagine this, not her. It's not her. Her. African mistresses. It's magic headdiving with the shit the Colonel said. Let's go in and catch him right now. No. Stay quiet. We're 12 to go soon enough. The moment I feel it's much more urgent to be fined Colonel Wolbert. Come on.

18:38There's a girl facing up and down in front of the house with Mary and is in his knees with Wolbert. We shouldn't have left the women alone with him yet. Are the men dangerous? I don't think the women have been in any danger, Watson. So dear, where have you been? Oh, well, Holmes and I decided we'd do take a walk. Very interesting. Uh, Miss Wolberton, this is Mr. Sherlock Holmes. How do you do, Mr. Holmes? I'm so glad you're here. I do, Miss Wolberton. And this is Colonel Wolberton, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, eh? I suppose you think I killed your wretched dog. Well, I might have done this. And I hear that whistle. Something seems to snap in my brain. I might have killed it. Why doesn't your doctor, Prince, certify me as insane? Send me where I belong. Before I do any whilst, have you? Poor man. Isn't there anything you can do for him, Mr. Holmes? I'm a certain liberal, tried Miss Wolberton. What no, fellow. I wonder if you follow the Colonel and give him a sedative. I'm afraid he has quite a lot of deal with the boy. What's that, little elf? Miss Wolberton, where were you when my dog was killed? Down in the greenhouse. As soon as I heard the poor animal helping, I ran up to the house. I see.

19:39With the homes you are going to be able to help the Colonel, aren't you? I'm convinced of it. This is Watson. That is why I brought a dog with me in London. But now that he's dead, I... I must have taken another one before I can proceed. Third of a case, now I wonder where in the second place? What are you looking at? Look, don't buy the gate. There's a little girl walking with a dog. That's Sarah Entwistle, the daughter of Arm Neighbors. Sarah? Excuse me, would you just a moment? Sarah! Sarah! Sarah! Sarah! Sarah, my dear. What a... What a pretty job you have there. What's his name? It's her. Her name's Lujan. What's your name? Holmes. Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock? That was funny, now. Yes, it is, isn't it? Then the case, Sarah. That case a nice, shiny half-crown for you. Why are you giving me money? Because I love dogs, my. I want to borrow a web. What do you call it? Bogen. Bogen. Bogen, oh yes, yes. I want to borrow Bogen, but I have now. Why? Well, I... I want to borrow a web. I want to borrow a web. I want to borrow a web. You can play with her here. She's awfully friendly.

20:40Well, you see, I... I really want to take her for a nice walk. Why? She's just happy now. Look here, Sarah. It's a beautifully shiny half-crown. Mommy's told me I mustn't take money from staying. I'm not a stranger. I'm a friend of Colonel Wobbitton. I've been troubled Mr. Wobbitton. Yes, I am. Mrs. Watson. You see, I... I wanted to say that half-crown for borrowing Bogen for a short while, but she... But she doesn't want to do it. Sarah, does Bogen like Bogen? Oh, yes. Love them. We've got a lot of bones up at the house. We'd like to give her. Have they got plenty of meat on them? Auntie, she can have a wonderful piece and then we'll bring her back in half an hour. All right. Go on, Bogen. Now promise you'll bring her back in half an hour. Oh, we promise. Yes, Sarah. And Sarah, what about the... and what about the half-crown? Well, I'll get home and ask Mommy's family to keep her. Good. Good bye. Good bye. And take care of Bogen. She's a sweet little girl. Mr. Holmes, you're not going to express Bogen to any danger, are you? None, Mrs. Watson. Otherwise, I should live for that. I'm convinced that Bogen will give us a clue

21:41to what appears to be Colonel Wobbitton's madness. The The The The Now, like I see, but all here, Ms. Wobbitton, the Colonel is now down on the dark bulge of Mew. Now, ladies and gentlemen, I propose to conduct an experiment. Before I conduct it, I should like to point out the chronology of the events in this case. First, Ms. Now, that I write here. Mr. Holmes, you're not suggesting... At least, let me finish Ms. Now, then. First, Ms. Now, that I write here. Second, the Colonel. First, the mysterious whistle. Third, your dog was killed in Mr. Wobbitton. Fourth, the whistling setting in deaden is the Colonel Wobbitton and Ms. Bogen. Doesn't that happen? Suggest anything to you? No, I can't say that it does, Mr. Holmes. I don't see what you're blading at. No more room, no more room. There should be more space. And well, then I will. I shall now conduct my experiment. I once ordered what's Colonel Wobbitton and the dog bulge of. Excuse me while I turn my back. No.

22:43Third, Mr. King. Is that whistle? Oh, no! The dog heard it too. What does it mean? It means that this wouldn't whistle in my hand as the answer to the mystery. The sound made by this cunningly designed instrument is above the normal range of pitch. You see, the Colonel has hypersensitive ears. So the dog heard it. Perhaps I should have said the normal, human range of pitch. Didn't you suppose someone was deliberately trying to drive the Colonel now? Of course, man. That's why the dogs were murdered. Whoever it was, you, that a dog would give the game away. It's not hard to guess who that someone is. Nader, this started when you're paying here. Is this your gratitude for the Colonel's kindness to you? Endangering his sanity with your evil black magic, that is not true. A one-numbered, please, Mr. Wobbitton. There's Nader. Dr. Watson and I watched you in the barn something quarter-centred now to go with Nacker. Were you engaged in practicing any form of black magic? No. I was praying to my old gods to save the Colonel's sanity. What were you doing, Lerhacker?

23:43Don't tell me you were praying to old gods too. I used to be a chap who'll go in man so that I don't know. No arm in trying something new I always say. In the case, why should Mr. Nader wish to pursue the Colonel? It might be for some tribal revenge. That's ridiculous, Ellen. Her father and I were sworn bloodbrough. Exactly, sir. No, it should be obvious. Who had a motive for making the Colonel appear mad? Is nice and average. Physics, you will remember. And so could know about supersonic research. Possibly she bit her favorite Colonel might leave the state. Because Nader. No wish to appear insane. And thereby, you will. In any case, I found this whistle in a draw in your room, Mr. Wobbitton. Ellen, how could you? I did it for your sake. To save you from Nader. He's just an adventurous. Only you won't see it. Then I'll Wobbitton. What action do you wish me to take regarding your niece, Mr. Wobbitton? I have no niece, Mr. Holtz. I'm not a major.

24:49Oh, an amazing case, Holmes. There wasn't for the way Holmes solved it. It was very interesting, dear. I was quite enthralled. Now I think I shall return to London and let you finish your holiday and peace. Before you do that, Mr. Holmes, there's one thing we should do. What, Mer? Who jumped? We promised you that. Yes, yes, of course. Of course, I think the three of us might walk our home. But before we do that, I suggest we run each other, kitchen, the kitchen, the floor. Oh, dear. Then, exactly. And the bones with plenty of meat on them. Oh, dear. Say, Doctor, that was a swell story. And look, you mean there really is a whistle that only dogs can hear? I thought you'd ask me that question, so I've got one of those whistles to show you. There. Oh, there's nothing unusual about it. Boy, Doctor. Listen, Mr. Bartell, if I want you to come quickly, I don't just have to whistle.

25:49Well, I have to say, if anybody likes to know a pit line, take a piece of stuff. There you are. People, can you blame me? I know a good wine when I hear it. And Petri Wine sure is good wine. It ought to be. The Petri Family's been making wine for generations. As you know, ever since they started the Petri Business way back in the 1800s, that business has always been family-owned and operated. So just think of all the experience the Petri Family's game. They've been able to hand on down from father to son, and father to son, all they've ever learned about the art of turning luscious California grapes into fragrant delicious wine. So whenever you're choosing a wine, a wine to serve before dinner, with dinner, or at any time, you can't go wrong with a Petri Wine because Petri took time to bring you good wine. The Night Sherlock Holmes adventure is written by Des Greene and Anthony Boucher,

26:49and is based on an incident in the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's story, The Engineers' Fund. Mr. Rathbone appears through the courtesy of Metro Golden Mayor, and Mr. Bruce through the courtesy of Universal Pictures, where they are now starring in the Sherlock Holmes series. The Petri Wine Company of San Francisco, California, invites you to tune in again next week's same time, same station. The Petri Family took the time to bring you such good wine, and told when you eat and what you cook, remember petri's food, to make good food taste better. Remember? Pet, pet, petri, food. This is Harry Bartel saying good night for the Petri Family. Sherlock Holmes comes to you from our Hollywood studios. This is the mutual bond between the two of you, and the two of you, who are the best of the three of you. The first time you've ever seen a petri family,

27:49you've never seen a petri family, Sherlock Holmes comes to you from our Hollywood studios. This is the mutual bond casting sister.
