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 today's episode, I bring you the Adventures of Philip Marlowe, episode titled The Orange Dog, original airbeat January 22nd, 1949.

Where Marl looks for a woman's missing sister and instead

finds himself in Chinatown on the trail of the Orange Dog of Fo. So sit back and relax,

and I hope you enjoy this nostalgic mystery radio. Thank you for listening.

A startled corpse, a blue-eyed woman and a cryptic message scrawled by a dying man, with the pieces of a Chinese puzzle that wouldn't fit together,

until I found out what was deadly about the orange dog.

From the pen of Raymond Chandler, outstanding author of crime fiction,

comes his most famous character, as CBS presents,

The Adventures of Philip Marlowe.

And now, with Gerald Moore, starred as Philip Marlowe, we bring you tonight's exciting story, The Orange Dog.

By six in the evening of a very slow day,

I'd resigned myself to the business of no business.

So I took my feet down from my desk,

switched off the lights and started out the door for home with the prospect of a nice, quiet evening ahead of me.

But I didn't make it, even as far as the door.

Oh.

Hello, Philip Mallo.

Malo, my name is Shelley Martin.

I'm at 8412 Los Felis, a private residence.
