"Episode 2.67: A
Real Life Hero" -
May 14
Last time, James
Berkley turned $300 into $7000 and nurse Beverly Futch turned
$25,000 into $80,000.
Tonight, though, a real life hero
will play for the million. If you've read the news, then no
doubt you've heard of WESLEY AUTREY, a man who risked his own
life to save that of a complete stranger. Tonight, we honor him
and everyday heroes around the world who, however small, make
the world a better place.
But now it's Wesley's day in the
sun... again. He wants to get a house. Hopefully the keys to his
new house will be in case #7.
Wesley run the AMEX bell seven
times. We start with six.
