Hello, and welcome to another episode of Nostalgia 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 Pat Novak for hire.

Episode titled Rory Malone, originally aired March 20th, 1949,

where Novak gets an offer for $300 from a beautiful woman to stay away from boxer Rory Malone and $300 from Malone's manager.

Whichever sign he ends up on, it's going to be trouble.

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

Thank you for listening.

Ladies and gentlemen, the American Broadcasting Company brings to its entire network One of Radio's most unusual program Pat Novak

For Hire

Music Sure. I'm Pat Novak for hire.

I'm Pat Novak for hire. That's what the sign out in front of my office says.

At Foghorn for hire.

Oh, there are other ways to say it, but down on the waterfront in San Francisco,

you've got to put your best foot forward,

especially if you want to trip up a friend. Down here, a friend is anybody who's been dead more than

ten years. And then it pays to watch out, because if you relax, somebody will come along and knock you on the

back of your stomach. Works out all right, though. I rent boats and do anything else you can hide in the dark.

It's about all you can ask, because along the Embarcadero, nothing's perfect except the heels.

I found that out Wednesday afternoon.

She was a lovely girl.
