Episode 52 - The Three Investigators - The Mystery Of The Stuttering Parrot
In only their second outing, the Three Investigators are hired by a friend of their patron, Alfred Hitchcock, to find his missing parrot. The boys soon discover that his parrot was one of a group of seven, trained by their former owner to each repeat a specific message. The focus of the investigation shifts from finding the single lost parrot to discovering the secret behind these cryptic messages.
The boys aren't the only ones who want to hear the dead man's secret. Others, including an infamous French art thief, Huganay, have also concluded that the messages are the key to locating a particularly valuable hidden item.

Episode 51 - The Sea of Adventure
This is a story tape from 1983 that I used to listen to a LOT! Even in my late teens I still listened to it because I love hearing locations created in sound only. I recorded my original copy into Pro Tools and edited the two sides of the tape together so it flows right through. Sadly, I lost the inlays for a lot of my story tapes when I was younger so I couldn't scan them in for the video artwork.

Disclaimer! This is one of Roald Dahl's more dark and disturbing stories. You may find it upsetting, so listen with caution.
"The Swan" is a short story about the boys Ernie and his friend Raymond, who like to bully Peter Watson. When Ernie receives a rifle for his fifteenth birthday, they both shoot birds on their way to the rabbit field. They soon come across Peter Watson and bully him terribly. First by tying him to the railway tracks, and later by sending him to get the birds that they have shot. The story builds to a horrible climax where Ernie shoots a swan and does something disturbing with its corpse.
