The Adventures of Rocky Jordan - The Man They All Loved

Old Time Radio Mysteries

Rocky and a couple of his friends planned to take a day off and go hunting for gazelle at a place near Helwan. When the day arrived, Rocky woke up early to get ready for the trip down the Nile. He walks down the stairs from his living quarters into the cafe. The Tambourine still reeks from Oriental smoke from a few hours before, so he went to open the front door for some fresh air. When he opens it, a dead man that was leaning against door, fell inside the cafe. The first thing Rocky notices is his unusual clothes, headdress, and heavy shoes, all in black. Just then, another figure moves from the shadows outside. It is a little beggar named "Samak" that Rocky has seen a few times wandering in the native quarter. Rocky says "Nothing here for you to see, Samak, move along". Samak tries to get the man's wallet, but Rocky prevents him. Rocky opens the wallet for the man's identification. Samak sees the man's name, and starts running away in fear.
