Hello, and welcome to another episode of Nostologic Mystery Radio.

I'm your host Stevie K.

And it's my honor to bring you the radio shows of yesteryear.

For this episode, I bring you The Adventures of Sam Spade, episode titled The Biddle Riddle Caper,

originally aired January 5th, 1951, where Sam is hired by a radio producer to help solve a three-year-old murder.

He finds a reel of recording tape disguised as a typewriter ribbon and exposes the murder with the recording.

So, sit back and relax, and I hope you enjoy this nostalgic mystery radio.

Thank you for listening.

The National Broadcasting Company presents the Adventures of Sam Spade Detective.

Sam Spade Detective Agency.

Sam, where have you been?

I don't know what to tell them.

Tell who?

The reporters, everybody.

They all say you're the first private detective in the history of San Francisco to get rich, honestly.

Uh-huh.

Oh, Sam! When I think of all the back salary, I'll be getting the fur coats. Easy, girl, easy. Prepare yourself. Sam? Yep. You mean... The $50,000 is not available to employees of the network or sponsor, which unfortunately I happen to be. Sam! But cheer up, girl, think of the taxes we'll save.

Now make everything fast. I'm on my way. Meanwhile, puzzle me this. You're ready? All right, Sam. Wine is a man who was going to blow his brains out, set his mantle clock ahead four hours. San, it doesn't make sense. Ah, but it does. Moll and ponder, sweetheart. I'll be down in a Trice, 1951 model,
