State Trooper1956

[first lines]

Lt. Rod Blake:
Oh, hello. I'm Rod Blake, chief investigator for the Nevada state troopers. To say the least, this is the most unusual trophy I've ever received. Some newspaper men in San Francisco sent it to me as a gift. It's supposed to represent a scalp I helped them collect... one that they and the Bay City police had been trying to take for a long time. I guess, more than anybody else, a newspaperman has to have a sense of humor, viewing as he does man's inhumanity to man on one hand and man's kindness to man on the other and trying to reconcile the two 24 hours a day. Of course, this is just a sample of the wigmaker's art. You'll meet the man whose scalp it represents in a case called, "Pistols for Two".
