Hello, and welcome to another episode of nostalgic 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 Philip Marlow, episode titled The Hairpin Turn, originally aired January 28th, 1950.

When Marlowe meets a female sharpshooter, it only adds up that she is somehow connected to a dead body, a body shot with a target pistol.

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

Thank you for listening.

Get this and get it straight.

Crime is a sucker's road and those who travel it wind up in the gut of the prison of the grave.

This time a fireball too handy with a target pistol

led me down a rocky road past a sleazy money grubber

to a curly-headed corpse,

and it might have gotten worse

if I hadn't slowed down at the hairpin turn.

It happened like this.

From the pen of Raymond Tranver,

outstanding author of crime fiction,

comes his most famous character in...

The Adventures of Philip Marlowe.

Now, with Gerald Moore, starred as Philip Marlowe, we bring you tonight's exciting story,

The Hairpin Turn.

Hey, stop it. Put down that gun and listen to me. Stay back, Uncle Enoch. How do you like that? Well, if you could think just half as straight as you could shoot, I'd have nothing you worry about, but you can't. And it's high time you realize that you think... Oh, there's the house buzzer. Somebody's up at the house, Uncle Enoch. And this is Miles Knight. Oh, well, right, I'll answer it.

I'm expecting a man from the office.
