In the CBS system, convertibility can be managed, though awkwardly. First, an adapter (estimated price: $30-$50) is added to an ordinary set to make it compatible.

Meanwhile, Frank Stanton...
...thing - even that he can persuade a "Save-A-Soul Mission" lassie (Isabel Bigley) to go with him to Havana. While the law is missing out on dice games in sewers and Salvationist missions, love gets Sky firmly into its clutches, and leaves him out to make converts rather than points...
