We interrupt the program to bring you a special news flash. Millionair and former college football team fullback Jerry McGowan was found shot to death two miles North from Kansas City earlier tonight. His bullet-riddled body was found beside a dead road near the Anderson farm on Route 3. The car he was driving was found near by. The girl Jerry McGowan was escorting, Miss Barbara Blandish, 21 year-old daughter of socialite John Blandish, is reported missing. Since then, no trace has been found of her nor has she tried to communicate in any way with her father or the police. Police suspect kidnapping, although no ransom demand has yet been made. More details on the big news, in fifteen minutes. And now, back to the fabulous music of Henry Busse and his band, from the Edgewater Beach Hotel.

It’s certainly a wonderfully entertaining and well-crafted movie that plays perhaps better today than it did in 1971. — Jeffrey M. Anderson
