Summary

Everywhere you looked, there were goods to be gotten, and the getting often fell to Black Jack and Trixie. But there were consequences to be paid that often had nothing to do with the princely sum of thirty-five dollars a day, plus expenses.

Whatever...) to reach deep for the ever-elusive happy ending.

0:00.0	Once again, Decoder Ring Theater presents another page from the casebook of that master of mystery.
0:07.5	That's Sultan of Sleuthing, Martin Bracknell's immortal detective, Black Jack Justice, starring Christopher
0:14.5	Matt as Jack and Andrea Lyons as Trixie Dixon Girl Detective.

0:56.7	But sweet, he was not. He was a working man in every sense of the word, including the olfactory.
1:02.9	I'd say he fell something in the neighborhood of five foot four, and he fell it in every single direction.
1:09.2	Mr. Bullerick had a problem.
1:13.9	Fortunately, Mr. Bullerick also had $35 a day,
1:15.9	and those two items in combination meant that he was our kind of people.

1:20.5	but Mr. Bullerick's problem was Mrs. Bullrick,
1:23.0	or rather his nagging suspicions thereof.
1:25.9	They'd been married five years.
1:27.8	He, blockish, nervous, and sweaty.
