DRAMATICS DRUMS OF DEATH Mr. Bailey, an eccentric lifelong explorer in Africa, became the medicine man of a tribe of natives and, because of the belief these natives had in him, he was given a stone, a stone they believed to be magic. Mr. Bailey's life for years had been a wild flight from the vengeance of Thompson, the murderous cut-throat who was determined to obtain possession of this Stone of Munda-Rendovan. For this reason Bailey bought a ghostly mansion in the swamps and lived there like a hermit, however, Thompson found the place and came there in the middle of the night to warn Bailey that he would come for the stone. Immediately after receiving the message, Bailey dropped out of sight. Three nights after the mysterious disappearance of Bailey four women, relatives of Mr. Bailey, and Dr. Cameron, a suave and polished nerve specialist, arrived after being notified by fake telegrams that Mr. Bailey was very ill. Why were they summoned? Mrs. Sheldon Harley was the business manager in charge of Bailey's property but no one seemed to know iust where she came from. She had the task of finding out where Mr. Bailey was, why these people were lured there, and also of keeping the women out of danger and trouble, which they seemed to have a flare for getting into, especially Mrs. Gillete, a pompous, wealthy woman who had never taken an order in her life. The county sheriff, Newton Cooper, was brought in on the case. He was a well-meaning fellow but not very smart and spent most of his time worrying about his lost badge. Much mystery was added to the situation by jules, the Haitian negro servant, who was an ignorant, murderous animal that hated all strangers but was intensely loyal to his Missy Hah'ly g Celeste, the young octoroon servant from Martinique, who had weird trancesg and Mrs. Oakley, the Bailey housekeeper, who said she was about to break down under the tension, but always seemed to be standing in the doorway listening quietly to all conversations. ON E-AC T PLAYS LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON These three: Mr. Maxwell, a brow-beaten and hen-peeked husband, Wilbur Maxwell, the thirteen year old son who is disgruntled because his older sisters get everything and leave him holding the bag, and Hercules Nelson, Wilbur's bosom pal, who is intensely loyal but lacking in brain power. They Elan a campaign to make the women of the Maxwell family more aware of their sterling qua 'ties. To accomplish this they drink strawberry soda pop and say it is Betty Lou's poisonous bug blitzer which she has been working on in chemistry class. The plan back-fires when Connie, another daughter accidentally switches bottles and they really do drink the strawbeny pop.
