It's no fun anymore.

How about a drink?

All right.

I think we should

celebrate my freedom.

( rockabilly playing )

( radio tuning static )

Hey, baby, it's the real

Don Steele show.

I got to get the devil

out of here.

I'm going to be out there

shoulder-to-shoulder,

Elbow-to-elbow, with the rest

of you thrill seekers.

Here I come ready or not.

And who's going

to sock it to us?

We're going to hock it and lock

it out there, right?

On 93 KAJ Boss radio.

And you know what happens

when delicious Don goes hog wild

On your receiver, right?

Thrill seekers of mine,

are you ready?

Thanks very much for saying what

have you, hey,

Dave Garroway, Johnny Ray,

Anita O'Day, Curtis Lemay

Sirhan may, x-Ray, el Rey

and a one-horse open sleigh.

Dennis Day, Marvin Gaye,

George day, Sammy Kaye,

Swinging with the car

in the next Lane,

If you love me,

you have to love my suit.

Can you dig it?

Here he comes.

Get ready to take

a trip along the strip with him.

I'm hip, can you dig it?

You better believe it! Bye!

( deejay chattering )

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,

go, go, go, go!

little Johnny probably

wants to shoot...

( dog barking )

...Just a moment

when we continue our news.

This week on

the Saturday night movie,

James Stewart, Lee Remick

and Ben Gazzara star

In Otto Preminger's

compelling production

Of anatomy of a murder.

Man:

You're guilty of murder--

premeditated and with vengeance.

That's first-degree murder

in any court of law.

Woman:

Here, I'll do that, dear.

The unwritten law's

a myth, lieutenant.

There is no such thing

as the unwritten law.

Anyone who commits a murder on

the theory that it does exist...

Woman:

Goodness, I feel so tired.

That bazaar's going to be

the death of me.

Younger woman:

Oh, why Don't you sit down--

I'll take care of this.

Suspenseful viewing.

Saturday night at 11:15

on channel 7.

Woman:

I'd like to know where

that husband of yours is.

He's been late

every night recently.

That job is...

( crash )

Younger woman:

Oh, darn!

Woman:

It's all right.

No harm done.

Younger woman:

Oh, here, let me get it.

She has not spoken, and she

carried no identification.

Her head is covered

with bandages,

But doctors

at county general say

Her hair is light brown,

cut short.

She was treated for severe

scalp lacerations.

Doctors think she

might be suffering

From some mental disorder

that would account

For this apparent stupor

and muscular rigidity.

Her clothing has been taken to

the sheriff's lab in the hopes

That it could help

establish her identity.

Woman:

Turn the TV down, Will you?

I thought I heard the car.

Man:

Hello, girls.

Woman:
