00:49but it is very old
00:51and very sinister
00:53for the ring a ring of roses
00:55were the splotches that first appeared
00:57on the faces of those afflicted
00:59during the black plague
01:01the pocket full of poses
01:03were the herbs that were carried
01:05hopefully to ward off
01:07the fatal disease
01:09the sneezing sounds
01:11achoo
01:12achoo
01:12were the sounds of the final spasms
01:16and
01:17we all fall down
01:19was
01:19well
01:21you can guess
01:22our mystery drama
01:31a ring of roses
01:32was written especially for the radio mystery theater
01:35by S.J. Wilson
01:37and stars
01:38Glynnis O'Connor
01:39I'll be back shortly
01:41with act one
01:42science has brought most plagues under control
01:57but not so those other epidemics of the past
02:01those that plague us with their unseen
02:05unknown and unexpected terrors
02:08and such is the tale of terror
02:11you are about to hear
02:12draw close to the guttering candle
02:15for you will receive no warmth
02:18from a ring of roses
02:20you know George
02:26I've heard about this place so often from Helena
02:28I'm just dying to see her home
02:31and I'm anxious to meet your friend Helena
02:33oh I'm sure you'll like her
02:35but will she like me
02:37taking her best friend away from her
02:39come on George
02:41you know you're irresistible
02:43ha ha
02:44why do you think I'm going to marry you
02:46well for one thing
02:48my beautiful
02:49exquisite
02:50enormous pots of money
02:51oh George wait
02:54look
02:55Laurie
02:55get your hands off the wheel
02:57what do you think you're trying to do
02:59but we passed it
03:01it's the sign to the house
03:02back there
03:03now Laurie
03:04Laurie
03:06Laurie I never want you to do that again
03:08I'm not going to let missing a sign
03:11risk your getting hurt
03:12you understand
03:13I'm sorry
03:15I shouldn't have grabbed the wheel that way
03:18alright forget it
03:20but please
03:21never again
03:22ever
03:22and
03:26that is supposed to be the sign
03:28Helena warned that we might miss it
03:31why would anyone use a rose colored stone
03:35in a brass oval
03:36with no name
03:37or any identification on it
03:39for a house sign
03:40well their name is Rosten
03:42and Helena said
03:43that generations back
03:45when their family first moved to America
03:47it was rose stone
03:49so they put up a rose stone
03:51well if they want people to get that meaning from it
03:55they either enjoy guessing games
03:57or more likely
03:58just want to keep themselves
03:59very very private
04:00yes
04:02guess what
04:03as you said
04:05they
04:05they are very private
04:07well I got that impression
04:09before we got here
04:10and I
04:11also have the feeling
04:12that they're not very friendly either
04:14oh how can you say that
04:16when Helena's mother
04:17especially invited us over
04:19because she personally
04:20wanted to give us our engagement gift
04:22yes
04:23and that's pretty peculiar too
04:25how
04:26how many parties
04:28I mean showers
04:29did your girlfriends give you
04:31four right
04:31no three
04:33the last one was a dinner
04:34all right
04:35and
04:35Helena was invited to every one
04:37but
04:38I know George
04:39she didn't turn up for any of them
04:42you know Laurie
04:44I've never seen you so wound up
04:47what's spinning around
04:49in that pretty head of yours
04:50I don't know
04:53but
04:53well
04:55I am on edge
04:57about what
04:58I
05:00I guess about
05:01meeting Helena's mother
05:03you see
05:04she
05:05she's so strange
05:06she seems so powerful
05:08and
05:09so terribly
05:10uncompromising
05:11I was trying to change things
05:14for Helena
05:15and
05:15and then I let her down
05:16by becoming engaged to you
05:18well now don't tell me
05:19you weren't gonna marry
05:20for poor Helena's sake
05:21well
05:22at least not until
05:23she married first
05:24we were going to share
05:26an apartment together
05:27in the city
05:28you know what I'm gonna do
05:31Laurie

14:52it's quite
14:53complicated
14:54photolysis
14:56is the means
14:57by which
14:57light
14:58can affect
14:58the arrangement
14:59of chlorophyll
15:00grains
15:00in leaves
15:01chlorophyll
15:03grains
15:04leaves
15:05there's a man
15:06not more than
15:06a mile
15:07from here
15:07who's been
15:08murdered
15:08now calm
15:09yourself
15:09my child
15:10there is
15:12no such
15:12man
15:13and no
15:14such
15:14daughter
15:15this has
15:16happened
15:16before
15:16I've seen
15:17it
15:17Helena
15:18has
15:18a very
15:19few
15:20close
15:20friends
15:20have
15:21unfortunately
15:22you have
15:23too
15:23Mr.
15:25Williamson
15:26do you think
15:27you'd still
15:27like to try
15:28an explanation
15:29of PSP
15:30well it's
15:31spooky in a way
15:32by that I mean
15:33the scientific
15:34explanation
15:35of it
15:36you see
15:37we're all
15:38supposed to
15:38give off
15:38certain light
15:39and heat
15:40waves
15:40and what
15:41is it
15:41happens
15:42in the
15:42case
15:42of
15:42individuals
15:43who are
15:43emotionally
15:44stimulated
15:45let us
15:46say
15:46people
15:47in love
15:48the theory
15:49has it
15:49that people
15:50in a very
15:50intense
15:51emotional
15:51state
15:52give off
15:52more
15:53highly
15:53concentrated
15:54waves
15:54well I
15:56just don't
15:56understand
15:57what
15:57chlorophyll
15:58and
15:58and leaves
16:00and
16:00and light
16:01waves
16:01have to
16:01do with
16:02a man
16:02being
16:02murdered
16:03you see
16:03it's
16:03tied up
16:04with
16:04photosynthesis
16:05and scientists
16:06aren't sure
16:07how that
16:08process
16:08really works
16:09but with
16:10the unusual
16:10intensity
16:11of light
16:11the cells
16:12of chlorophyll
16:13rearrange
16:14themselves
16:14and are
16:15forced to
16:15give off
16:16some of the
16:16excess
16:17carbohydrates
16:17in which
16:18there is an
16:18unusual amount
16:19of stored
16:20energy
16:20I'm not
16:23following this
16:24at all
16:24my dear
16:25Helena speaks
16:26of you as
16:27having the
16:27patience of a
16:28saint
16:28so if you'd
16:29like me to
16:30telephone the
16:31deputies I
16:31suggest you
16:32give your
16:32feelings there
16:33a chance to
16:33finish
16:34there isn't
16:35much more
16:35Laurie
16:35just at the
16:37openings in the
16:37leaves they're
16:38called
16:38stomates
16:39tend to
16:39react like
16:40projectors
16:41and through
16:42the magnification
16:43of additional
16:44oxygen are
16:44supposed to
16:45be able to
16:45relay an
16:46episode they
16:47once absorbed
16:48when they were
16:48in the
16:49receptive state
16:50like
16:50like film
16:52are you
16:53talking about
16:54something
16:54something like
16:56motion picture
16:56film
16:57yes Laurie
16:58but it
16:58means something
16:59like a
17:00projector
17:01with a
17:01memory
17:02a memory
17:03of blood
17:04in this
17:04case
17:05well it
17:05happens that
17:06chlorophyll
17:06is very much
17:07like hemoglobia
17:08except that
17:09it contains
17:10magnesium
17:10instead of
17:11the iron
17:11found in
17:12blood
17:12are you
17:13saying that
17:14what we
17:14saw was
17:15a motion
17:15picture
17:16nothing more
17:17well essentially
17:18that's it
17:19but when and
17:21where the
17:21original was
17:22recorded we
17:23have no idea
17:23but there's
17:25a building
17:26there's a
17:27cabin out
17:27there
17:28and there's
17:29a man's
17:29body
17:29bleeding
17:30why don't
17:31you go and
17:32see for
17:32yourself if
17:32you don't
17:33believe us
17:33no Laurie

27:53never be
27:53alone
27:53that she
27:54could hold
27:55on to
27:55her daughter

33:34that much
33:35to her
33:35what probably
33:36meant even
