Host
The program is also known as, "The Indian Caper" (for obvious reasons). Announcer Dick Joy and Lurene Tuttle (as "Effie") both pronounce the longer name of the caper during the program. Sam is hired to find a drunken engineer, who is promptly found scalped. A valuable wampum belt is stolen. A second middle commercial is heard three minutes after the first, making the integrity of the program suspect.
