Airdate: September 17, 1984

Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:

A $14,000 home office library!
A holiday for two in Paris, France!
An American-made car!

Over $53,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Janinka Walulik: Singer with an opera company and works at a country club, also sung in the opening and closing Olympic ceremonies
Seta Nargesian (returning with a 1-day total of $3,698)
Peter Correr: Computer teacher, also studying business and is looking to be a corporate attorney

Pat was relieved about Peter's easy name compared to those of Janinka and Seta.

Pat notices that Peter collects cards from all over the world. He can't think of too many questions to ask about cards.

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $750. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will lose all your cash, but once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!
