NARRATOR: When last we left our intrepid heroes, the incredible crime-fighting night detective OWL PHANTOM™ had just trailed the gangsters to their hideout on the wharf, accompanied by his young ward CABBAGE-O-LANTERN™, the avenging vegetable!

CABBAGE-O-LANTERN: Withering willows, Owl Phantom! My helmet’s Green Plant-O-Vision is useless against the walls of that hideout!

OWL PHANTOM: Just as I feared, Cabbage-O-Lantern. Those gangsters have lined their lair with two inedible, impenetrable, but otherwise safe for all purposes, materials: lead and asbestos.

CABBAGE-O-LANTERN: Bruised bracts, Owl Phantom! Who could do such an elaborate, but safe, job of keeping our prying eyes at bay?

OWL PHANTOM: We won’t know for sure until we penetrate that sanctum of safety, but I suspect it is our old nemesis The Cackler. Only his demented mind could conceive of such a thing.

CABBAGE-O-LANTERN: Rotten roots, Owl Phantom! What could The Cackler and his ruthless Mirth Mooks possibly be planning in there?

OWL PHANTOM: I don’t know, Cabbage-O-Lantern, but I suspect it will take us about three minutes to find out.

NARRATOR: And now a word from our sponsors. Stay tuned for more exciting radio drama after this!
