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 Stoped Watch Caper, originally aired April 10th, 1949, House of Horrors include a butler who resembles

Frankenstein, radioactive poisons, and man-eating plants. So sit back and relax, and I hope you

enjoy this nostalgic mystery radio. Thank you for listening.

The adventures of Sam Spade, detective, brought to you by Wild Root Cream Oil Hair Tonic, the non-alcoholic hair tonic that contains lanolin.

Wild Root Cream Oil, again and again, the choice of men and women and children, too.

Sam, Spey, Detective, Agency.

Quote the Raven, Nevermore.

Yes.

This is me. Is this Mr. Space? Yes, but is this Miss Perrine? Well, yes, but... Why are you eating her peanut butter sandwich at this time of night? Why, the illusion to Poe's Raven? Was your assignment among the literati? It certainly was. There was, uh, Rowena from Ivan Hall, a lost Lenore, a no place Ralph, and a Boris from the Carloth of the same name. Oh, I distinguished. Have you got a cold, F?

No. Well, uh, then there was a carnivorous plant, a hideous meat-eating specimen of the botanical

world. Try to take two fingers off me.

Well, I've got three fingers all poured out for you here.

Pretty heap.

I can see you intend to be terribly amusing tonight.

But even so, I intend to come right down and dictate my report on the stopped watch caper,

or time stood still. Dashel Hammett, America's leading detective fiction writer and creator of Sam Spade,

the hard-boiled private eye, and William Spear, radio's outstanding producer-director of mystery and crime drama,

join their talents to make your hair stand on end with the adventures of Sam Spade.

Presented by the makers of Wild Root Cream Oil for the Hair.
