This is Case Closed, Crime Stories from the Golden Age of Radio.

Welcome back to Case Closed, your weekly hour of old-time radio crime.

We begin our hour this week with the adventures of Philip Marlowe.

We'll hear the Orange Dog, his story from January 22nd, 1949.

After that, it's Jeff Regan Investigator, and the man with the key, his story from October 2, 1948.

with the pieces of a Chinese puzzle that wouldn't fit together,

until I found out what was deadly about the orange dog.

From the pen of Raymond Chandler, outstanding author of crime fiction,

comes his most famous character, as CBS presents,

The Adventures of Philip Marlowe.

And now, with Gerald Moore, starred as Philip Marlowe,

we bring you tonight's exciting story, The Orange Dog.

I'd resigned myself to the business of no business.

switched off the lights and started out the door for home with the prospect of a nice, quiet evening ahead of me.

Hello, Philip Molo.

Molo, my name is Shelly Martin.

I'm at 8412 Los Teless, a private residence.
