      A movie star is shot while in a trunk, but no bullet went through the trunk and the bullet wasn't inside the trunk either. The commercials for Champagne Velver beer heard on this program and the others following were not part of the original network broadcast, nor even an integral part of the Ziv syndication discs. The commercials were found on separate discs, intended for use during SOME of the Boston Blackie programs in SOME of the areas in which the program was heard. There is no indication of which commercials were heard on which programs in which areas. The commercials were added to these programs at random. Blackie has been asked by a famous movie making company to advise them on a few scenes of safe cracking. Mary wants him to do it so he agrees. During one of the scenes, the leading lady is shot…

      A man about to expose a criminal on Television is poisoned by a glass of water. Three other people, however, drank the water without ill effects! Boston Blackie and Mary Wesley seem to be settling in to watch a TV show with Inspector Faraday. As the set warms up they see Inspector Faraday and three other men seated around a table. Mary comments that the Inspector seems a little nervous as he keeps hitting the water pitcher, and so does another member of the panel. But Blackie explains it probably very warm under all those lights. As the show begins, a man by the name of Cyrus Baxter is introduced. He, too, drinks a glass of water and then begins to speak. After a few words, he appears to be choking and proceeds to keel over right into Inspector Faraday's lap.
