Hello and welcome to another episode nostalgic mystery radio.

I'm your host Stevie K. And it's my honor to bring you the radio shows of yesterday year.

For today's episode, I bring you The Adventures of Philip Marlow, episode titled The Dude from Manhattan,

originally aired July 2nd, 1949, where Marlowe visits a dude ranch for a Western-style murder by horseshoe.

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

Thank you for listening.

outstanding author of mystery,

comes his most famous character and crime's most deadly enemy.

As we present,

the adventures of Philip Marlowe.

or a ranch he just bought near a rattlesnake mountain, I snapped at the chance.

Inside an hour I was rolling down the highway towards San Bernardino.
