We invite you to enjoy stories that keep you in suspense.

For suspense, tonight we present The Lord of the Witch Doctors by John Dixon

Carr.

The drums were beating that night.

The Lord of the Witch Doctors was on his way.

Twenty miles off the east African coast, and by the blistering heat of the Indian Ocean,

lies the island of Zanzibar.

Here many years ago,

the exact one year 1889.

Three nations were rivals for trade and imperial Germany gold,

at Mogadishu, with the Italians, a mixed population boiled along that coast Portuguese,

Arabs, Swahili.

On the island itself, they had caliph Zuzan al-Zanzibar ruled over one's mighty empire,

Mohammedan bountess of the tribe of Zanzibar took over there in the moonlight.

That white building, patched and rotted, was the palace,

where seyakali lived with his fat wives, and his captive liar.

Not far away on the hill overlooking the harbor,

stood the British residency.

The British residents, or Crown official, held an easy sway against German and Italian influence,

and that the residency on that half-night long.

Tomata, come away from the windows, please.

But Tomata, those drums are on the mainland.

That's a mind.

Twenty miles from here.

I'd rather you've stored them.

It's the fires I don't like, sir.

You can see the red light all this distance.

Having a bino of some kind.

You've got to stand back, too, Mr. Harris.

What's up here, sir?

Yes, Mr. Harris.

I've been your diplomatic attaché in this place for three years.

Couldn't you call me by my first and human private?

Just as you please.

Law the sun blinds and turn down the wick of that lamp.

Don't think there's any danger.

There's no danger, whatever.

But...

They don't think they're restless tonight.

Only natural, my dear, with the drums going.

Everybody seems restless.

This has been going on for days.

We're beginning to get in your now, right?

So you feel it, too, eh?

Can I do a fair call if I don't tease Nero?

Jab it in with a meat fork and that kind of thing.

If that lie, I'll ever got food.

That's my dear, nothing but nerds.

Let's face it, sir.

There's something very queer going on over on that mainland.

Well, suppose there is.

All we know is what Nioca knows.

This great witch doctor, whoever he is,

been making a triumph of progress to the coast.

The whole bush is afraid of him.

Who will alarm me?

Nioca says he's got horns.

Can make himself seven feet tall,

like stretching an accordion.

Oh, really? There he has.

Well, I don't say I believe it.

I say it might be dangerous.

Now, for instance, could this be one of Dr. Schmidt's tricks?

Dr. Schmidt is a friend of ours.

Yes, he's also head of the Germany Stafford Company.

Dr. Schmidt is a gentleman.

Look at that coast over there.

He's got every native chief in his pocket.

Dr. Schmidt assured me that the German emperor

has no more territorial claims in East Africa.

We get our trade concessions from Said Caliphs.

Said our only friend, but we can't even be sure of him.

The Germans give him trade gin and a grand piano.

The Italians give him three new wives for his harem.

What do we give him?

I have no instructions from London about the situation in this island.

No.

Somebody in Whitehall probably forgot to post.

For the last time, Mr. Harris,

I will not hear his majesty's government criticise like that.

Sorry.

Sorry.

These things take time.

If there's anything dangerous,

we'll be notified in due course.

Yes, sir.

Well, they're only our own natives.

They beat their own drums, you know?

Somebody would pass that window.

That's probably early in Iocca, my dear.

Surely you're not afraid of our own surf.

No, but I...

Dr.

Dr.

Dr.

Iocca, listen to me.

Don't hang on to that big curtain.

You'll pull it out.

Now, stand up straight to tell me.

What is it?

He here for the he here, yes, please.

Who's here?

Big, which doctor here, yes, please?

He come up as in moonlight.

He walks low, bow, bow.

He got big, deep, deep, with the outside front line down.

What was that?

Come to stop.

I hope it's right, sir.

We have got to visit her.

There's somebody coming down the hall.

Better turn down that lamp, Arthur.

Why?

I can't seem to find the lamp.

My finger's all plumbed.

There's a revolver in the table, draw behind you, sir.

I don't need it.

Stand perfectly still all of you.

Now, please, friends, all don't be alarmed.

Are you English?

That's right, Miss.

Born and bred in Strenon.

In which of you is the British cons?

I am the British resident.

Her name is Richardson.

May I ask the meaning of this compound?

Well, that's just what I'm here to tell you.

Or maybe I'd better show you.

Now, observe me right hand.

I only adapt so, and as I live, I like it's cigar.

But perhaps the lady doesn't like smoking in the drawing room.

Now, look here.

There's nothing up the sleeves.

I wouldn't deceive you for the world.

I turn over, man, and would you believe it?

A glass of water.

Is this man insane?

Arthur, I think he's trying to tell you he's a magician.

That's right, Miss.

Directly Egyptian or Picadilly.

Animal tame in a magic.

That's my line.

Then you're the famous switch doctor

that's got all the natives in an uproar.

Nobody else, young fella.

Will you tell us what to mean by this nonsense?

Scaring everybody when there's no danger.

No danger.

I suppose you haven't heard about Sey's Caleb

and his gattling guns?

Gattling guns.

Kindly presented by Dr. Otto Schmidt.

And believe me, all you've got is an appointment

of a gattling gun, unless my nonsense steps in.

Here, take a look at this.

What you can't be from a British foreign officer?

That's just what I am, Governor.

Going up in the world, don't you think?

By the way, I'd better give you your instructions.

The envelope's pretty dirty and a little bit smelly

from being under my furors and devil pink.

But that...

Read it, sir.

Go on and read it.

On an office, quite hall.

British Council, Vanzibar.

There are this letter.

The great mafister.

That's me.

Real name, Bonnie.

They must be out of their mind, are they?

Listen, oh man.

I've been three weeks in that jungle

with a swallily interpreter.

I've been bitten and stung and fried to death.

But Schmidt and Oshmit, I've got those native chiefs

just where I want them.

You see what happens when I announce I'm a friend

of the great white queen?

Why, you'll have a meeting out of your arms.

Well, that's true.

And all we've got to do is get around

and say, tell her if you're on this island.

But do we need to get around here?

They're going to be good enough not to speak

until you're spoken to her.

All right, all right, Father.

Say it, maybe lazy and instead of the hippopotamus.

He's got a final, boy.

Is he?

You said something about gaffing, Bonnie.

Now, listen, he is the game.

Father, I don't like this.

I've never heard Nero's request in life.

Never mind Nero.

Go on.

Well, I came over here tonight in the steam lords.

Tomorrow, I'm paying my state visit

to the great Sultan, Sayin' Caleb.

Now, you present me as your friend

and a friend of the great white queen.

And I do me best tricks at him.

He's anything brown with your native boy.

Nyo Garbistu.

You're not afraid of our witch, Dr. Friend, do you?

No, I could question.

Yeah, what are you doing?

Come out, come under that sofa.

But, one, I see something.

I look out through windows.

That's deep, one of our balls head coming apart.

Well, I'm all head.

That's Dr. Schmidt.

Dr. Schmidt?

Well, he mustn't find me, eh?

As I quite agree, this is most irregular.

Get it back way out of here.

Yes, through that arch.

Stay in the back room.

Nyokel, show you.

Let me go with witch.

Get on a key.

I know, like, I know.

Never mind what you like, you go.

I'll like my son.

Access to affordable credit

helps me pay my employees.

But I don't really need it.

Infliction is killing me.

But who cares?

Big retailers are making record profits.

That's why we support the German martial credit card bill.

See, things in credit unions

help small businesses make payroll.

This bill would cut the vital resources they need.

So, does most baton succeed?

The most important MeSorry service

isn't.

We don't have a big deal of sharing.

But this bill can益t deviate.

You speak well.

Of course, Infliction is keeping me

in control.

Now.

At least you can count on me here.

So you can keep doing that?

We need to lock this up.

So are the government's completely

This is McPayroll, and this bill would cut the vital resources they need.

While increasing Megastore profits.

They deserve it.

Don't they?

Tell Congress, stop the Durban Martial Money Grab for corporate megastores.

Paid for it by the Electronic Payments Coalition.

Access to a portable credit helps me pay my employees.

But I don't really need it.

Infliction is killing me.

What do cares?

Big retailers are making record profits.

That's why we support the Durban Martial Credit Card Bill.

See?

Things in credit unions help small businesses make payroll.

This bill would cut the vital resources they need.

While increasing Megastore profits.

They deserve it.

Don't they?

Tell Congress, stop the Durban Martial Money Grab for corporate megastores.

Paid for it by the Electronic Payments Coalition.

All right, they've gone.

Yes, not time to.

Good evening, Dr. Schmitt.

Pleasure to see you.

Always a pleasure to see you.

Ah, my friends.

I wish I could say it was such a pleasure to see you.

Isn't it, Dr?

This is at any time, but now I do not mistake my big of you.

No, it is that confounded line, Neo.

Always I say it will happen.

And now it has happened.

What about, Neuro?

My friends, I regret.

Yes, me does kill.

Yes, tasted blood.

What's that?

Permit that I sit down and take off my sun helmet.

I am not young and I'm tired.

It's not say it, Kelly.

Yeah, yeah, it is so.

Yes, he sat lying once door.

Oh, poor old boy.

He was our friend.

He's not dead.

Yeah, yeah, I regret.

Yeah, he is dead.

Certain of sense of our state.

Oh, dead.

How did the lion ever get it in?

He didn't do much puma.

That was his trouble.

He got drunk and think he can do too much.

So he opened the door and went to the lion's cage.

Change the cage?

Yeah, which you believe it.

Not easily, but it is true.

Over the past days, what you call gnashing of teeth,

the sonopies and the tears.

Did you see this happen, Doctor?

No, no, no, I go there later and they tell me it.

It's all about us because of some foolish toy,

a tombhead story, that he has been stuck over the head

and thrown into the cage by someone who did not like him.

Well, that's small likely, if you ask me.

You might have been at this foolishness.

Everybody liked all men.

It was a father to his people and a kind friend.

Doctor, are you telling us that, say,

my it may have been put into that cage unconscious?

It is what one applicant, a soldier, says, yeah.

Well, then he may still be alive.

Live?

It's impossible.

What's more than possible?

The lion may more than unconscious man,

but it doesn't often kill him.

This is vital.

Vital to say it himself and others as well.

You're a doctor.

Don't you go and make sure my friend, Tirecrete.

Tire, I'm not that kind of a doctor.

There is, you may be right.

I haven't got better go myself.

Is this a good idea, sir?

I'll stay here and obtain Dr. Schmidt.

Unless, of course, he wants to go.

No, no, no.

I think I do not like sight of that, sir.

I have a tender heart and I have illnesses.

Besides, you can do nothing.

I tell you he is dead.

We'll see.

Mother, you'll better come with me.

Your nurse is training.

Maybe some youth at last.

I guess we better go the back way and speak to Nioca.

Yes.

Nioca mustn't be troubled in that back room.

Very good evening to you, Dr. Schmidt.

Mr. Harris, they have good hearts, but they're so foolish.

I would give my own right arm, day that poor man.

What?

Well, they must have for us.

They must share their debt.

Yes.

Now, Dr., we're all alone.

So we are.

So we are.

We must sit down and have a nice comfortable chat.

Yes?

Definitely, yes.

Oh.

I wanted to have a word with you anyway.

So about that, Mr. Harris.

Various things.

I am happy to give you all the time in the world.

I like talking to young people.

It makes me feel young again myself, like Nobi.

Nobi.

Say, Khalif's elder son, the new Sultan.

One, I'm young man for a savage, yes.

But weak, easy to manage.

And very fond of his father, too.

It's a wonder he didn't have a lion shot after they got the body away.

Shot with bat, my friend.

I beg your pardon, even I do not consider the matters fun.

No, no, no.

But the shot with bat.

These boots, they have nothing but muscle-loading muskets.

Get nearer of a dose, no.

Suppose they had gatling guns, but just suppose that, of course.

Of course.

Well, ah, my friend.

Get things would be up no better use.

You only wound.

Kill a lion, you must reach the eye or heart with a high-power bullet.

What is the matter with us?

Why are we talking of these things?

Talking of death, you mean?

Say, Khalif, who gave all the trade concessions

on Zanzan the bar to the British?

My friend, I was talking about express rifles.

OK, don't you find it warm in here?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yes, it smells of animals fur, doesn't it?

I'll just raise the sun by.

No, no, no, no.

You must not trouble yourself to do that.

It's no trouble.

I beg of you, not to trouble.

It is not necessary.

Doctor, you've been mopping your fire

ever since you've been here.

Little fresh air never hurt anybody.

Yeah.

Yeah, not better.

Much.

Much.

Why not sit down, my boy, and be up a nice chat?

Fine enough, Knight.

No smell of the animal's cage here.

With my friend, you talk like a hunter.

Yes, or a victim.

Yes, the fine light.

At least for this part of the world,

fire's still burning on the mainland.

I wonder if that's a good sign of what?

I wish I knew.

And the sea is like skin milk under the moon.

And good Lord.

But is it?

Let me cook you a camp.

Look there in the harbor.

My friend, I see nothing.

Perhaps if I take off my spectacles and vibe,

why man, you must see it in the harbor.

Out of the left there, beyond the shadow

of those big palm trees, there's your riding lights.

It looks like...

By George it is.

It's a warship.

It's only a champion gunboat, my friend.

Only a little champion gunboat.

German gunboat.

My friend, you must not be so distrustful.

That is not kind.

Let me get a telescope.

But I tell you who she is.

It is nothing.

She's how much you call a goodwill tour.

You're not angry.

Angry?

Now, my friend.

You did not know I could not guess...

That it's ringed in the sir's heart and the stench.

We know that ourselves.

I tell you something in confidence.

It chums a sensitive.

When it is objected, the native sphere too strong,

I tell the gunboat to go away.

I find an express rifle.

It has a sound.

You cannot mistake one another.

That is why I think of an express rifle.

What do you?

Nobody will object.

I am not the least bit.

Tell me, doctor.

You like it here on this island.

Well, just not bad.

Would you ever want to get away from a forsaken mud heap like this?

My friend, I am a champion.

I do this here.

It's iced tea here.

Yes, I know.

Between ourselves, that's exactly my position.

But you are young.

That's not the point.

It's the importance of the job.

The British don't rule Zanzibar.

We hold the trade concessions from Saeed Khalif

and our residency has to protect them.

But even you, doctor, would be surprised

that the amount of trade that we have to protect.

And the revenue that comes out of this island is so now,

you don't say so.

I do say so.

It's so much more than you think.

Of course, I'm not allowed to give you any figures.

No, no, no.

Of course not, I would not need my fasting, you.

How much would you say it comes to Raplow?

Come now, doctor.

As one gentleman to another, you're not asking me

to give away secrets.

No, no, no, no, no.

Personally, a joke, I understand.

Please do not try to uplift me.

I would try to pull your leg and it was on your joke, believe me.

It's all in the game, isn't it?

Yes, sir.

But in the game is gentleman, doctor.

You're quite a humorous, sir.

You're not dependent, not at all.

No, as I was saying, I hold a rather important job.

Of course, Mr. Richardson holds an even more important one.

He's been very friendly with old Saeed Khalifa and this job.

Of course, you know what that job is?

Of course.

He's the British Councillor.

But he's the matter, isn't he?

You're not smiling any longer.

Are you looking at me like that?

So that's it.

That's the game.

You made exactly the same mistake that he did.

As who did?

Dr. Schmidt, have you met the great Lord of the witch doctors?

The maker of spells and the tamer of lions?

I am a good Christian.

I pay no attention to what I need to say.

I do not believe in bitch luck.

No, neither do I.

Not in this one at any rate, but the witch doctor who came here tonight and said that

he was on a mission for the British foreign office.

He's an imposter from the word go, and you're working with him.

I don't have such a chair like that, Dr. Schmidt.

Because if you fall on it, you may hurt yourself.

I have not hurt myself, young man.

Or else you have.

The fellow who came here tonight addressed Mr. Richardson as the British consul.

That might have been a sip of the tongue.

But then you see the letter on the table there.

I have eyesight, I thank you.

The letter is supposed to come from the foreign office, and it calls in the British consul

too.

I heard it read aloud.

The foreign office may make mistakes, but they don't make mistakes like that.

That letter doctor is a forgery, who's forged by a German and probably by the German who

calls himself Barney Hicks, or the great Mephisto.

He's in the back room now.

No, he's not, Governor.

He's standing in the door way behind you now.

Yes.

What have I heard you?

Don't turn around to look at me.

I'm just warning you.

Have you got anything to enforce that?

Yes.

I've got a five-o-o express rifle that could smear all over the opposite wall.

Correct.

First of all, can I get a tooth?

No, no, no, no, no.

But the kind of...

If you fellas are going to shoot me, I wish you'd speak English about it.

Carl, I beg of you.

No, no, no.

Don't fire that rifle exactly.

You see, Carl?

I'm turning around.

This is all day.

No, Carl.

You see what the doctor means, Carl?

If you fire that rifle, you'll send your gunboat out of that harbour just when you need it.

Isn't that the signal, Doctor?

To send the gunboat away?

Carl, I beg of you.

Yes, it is.

Very simple, economical, German signal.

So...

You two killed Saeed Kulling.

Get the slender.

That cannot be pulled.

I had to do it, I imagine.

Saeed was the one chief that you couldn't buy or frighten with your witch doctor, so you've got rid of him.

Tomorrow morning, the witch doctor would have appeared, he'd have scared that they lights out of a weakened superstitious son, Nobi.

I tell you, I was fairly good at my work, Governor.

And I am.

Yes, and then the witch doctor would have taken over everything.

The British resident had to be bamboozled for 24 hours to keep him out of the way with a ghost story about a...

A British agent.

And there was a gunboat in the harbour in case of trouble.

Slight mistake there, Governor.

There is the gunboat in the harbour.

Yes.

It's really worked out beautifully.

The empress should be pleased.

I don't think your white queen will be very happy, though.

I am the great witch doctor to that frightened mob over there.

Saeed is dead.

And there's a German gunboat in the harbour.

This is...

I think I hear something.

Wherever's out there, stay back.

Wherever's out there, stay back.

Listen to me.

Say it's alive.

He's alive.

This is impossible.

We don't see him breathe.

We don't even think he's badly hurt, but he's still in the cage unconscious.

Still, he would change.

You mean they can't get him out of there?

If he wakes up or they attempt anything near over, tear him to pieces.

The whole crowd over there is nearly crazy.

But they don't dare go into the cage.

Well, gentlemen, you should have been more careful.

If they do get Saeed out of there alive, you're done for.

Be quiet.

Listen.

Nobby and the resident is becoming up here now.

See him, Miss.

Are you talking about the old boy, son?

Nobby, yes.

He wants to see the witch doctor.

Let's put you in some slight trouble, Carl.

Listen to me, Miss.

I couldn't get that old person from the other way to the Mad Lion, even if I...

I've got to get out of here.

You'll make now my dear witch doctor.

The native's just around at the house.

Who's that?

Nobby, he's coming down the hall.

Eva, how do we do, Sami?

I know me.

Speak wide language.

Harry Sultan's want.

Witch doctor.

Much respect.

Fall on floor.

Go ahead.

Lay your part, Carl.

Lay your ruddy part.

Get up again.

Great medicine, ma'am.

Father heard.

In cage with the lion.

You'll come.

Say something, Carl.

You can't be a dumb wizard.

You'll come.

Take care, nobby, my friend.

Witch doctor can't understand you.

Be a witch doctor.

Let's speak everything.

But, witch doctor.

No, it is not that.

It does not hear you.

It's in another world.

See, see how it's ice-close.

See how it's free?

I know this.

He saved my father.

Or maybe all of you.

We will kill all white people here.

Witch doctor saved my father from lion.

You'll come.

Nobby.

Listen to me.

You needn't worry.

The great witch doctor can save your father.

Go in cage?

No.

Not go in cage.

Strike with fire?

Yes, that's it.

Strike with wizard fire.

Open heaven.

Flash great light.

Nero scream and die.

Father save.

You must not save him.

He may not allow people to talk.

Then they did smell no.

You'll not want to say father?

Witch doctor does want to save your father.

Nobby.

You see that gun under his arm?

Gun?

Gun no good.

No use gun.

Only wound lion.

Lion in pain till father?

No.

That's not like your musket, Nobby.

It's an express gun.

It's a magic gun.

Magic gun?

Listen Nobby.

Magic gun save your father with one shot.

Just like that.

Lion fall over dead.

Your father will again.

And our friend.

Real gun?

Give me gun.

No.

You could not use it Nobby.

Witch doctor can use it best.

Tell him to use it.

Tell him to be sure that he hits the lion.

Here, Harris.

I don't know for this.

Yes, Nobby.

If he wants to hit Nero with that white fire,

he can strike the lion dead before you could wink your eyes.

Then do.

You better try it, Carl.

And you better not miss him.

Or you know what will happen to every white person in this room.

I have a shaky mind.

Just in with shaky hands, that won't do.

I take your shoulder.

You follow.

Yala.

Ganba.

Ganba.

There is change.

I fell a storm.

All caught over river.

Right as day.

Thousand torches.

All make life.

Now do.

Now do.

How quiet they get for Nobby raises his hand.

They're playing.

So are we.

We'll do it.

You better.

I told you that.

They're out of hand now.

You miss you on a witch doctor.

And if you had any thought of hitting Saeed instead,

just imagine what they do to you.

I can't see.

This torch is planted.

You do.

I think the old man's moving.

If he stirs the lion will kill him.

You know what that means.

It's right.

Not with a rifle.

I was a shaker.

Yeah.

It's a point blank shot.

No!

No!

Hello!
