Coming up this week on the old-time radio snack wagon, it's done, I killed as any man would have killed, I run as any man would run, it's done, I killed as any man would have killed, with my embroidery scissors, listen to the old-time radio snack wagon, snack wagon.net or wherever you get your podcast.

Welcome to the great detectives of old-time radio.

From Boise out of home, this is your host Adam Graham, if you have a comment, email it to me, box 13 at great detectives.net, follow us over on Twitter, have radio detectives, and become one of our friends on Facebook, Facebook.com slash radio detectives.

If you've not already, I do encourage you to check out my two e-books, all I needed to know I learned from Colombo, and all I needed to know I learned from Dragnet.

These books examine the careers and histories of seven great fictional detectives and life lessons that can be learned from them.

They are available wherever fine e-books are sold, or as audiobooks in the Apple store or through audible.com, and you can find all my books, audiobooks, and e-books over at store.greatattackives.net.

While now we're going to get into the syndicated adventures of follow vans, and to be honest, this is probably what most old-time radio fans will think of when they say, well, I'm going to listen to follow vans, because that's just the vast majority more than 95% of what's out there is from this radio run.

Which began in 1946, and as a syndicated program, it was sold throughout the country. The series starred Jackson Back as follow vans, and with that, I think we're pretty well set up.

We have a lot to talk about about how the series work, but let's go ahead and get into today's episode.

Now, I want to let you know the original air day is September 26, 1946, and the title is the Eagle Murder Case.

There's nothing much wrong with the guy with Karen, is there a duck?

Oh, not too much, Steve, fracture the right arm and right ankle. They had more trouble with his wife and two partners. They wanted to ride along to the hospital and his ambulance.

That's all I need, passengers. Yeah. What happened to the guy we got in back?

What a accident. That is wife and two partners in the car and tried to wrap it around an elevated pillar.

You're a funny guy. He fought against my giving him a hypodermic.

Wonder why? No reason. No good reason that is. He kept saying, no hypo, please doctor, I'll be murdered before I get to the hospital if you give me a hypo.

That's nothing though. Shock hysteria brought on by the accident, that's all.

Wonder why a guy would think someone was going to kill him? He didn't know what he was saying.

He kept mumbling about no hypo right up to the time we closed the doors in the back.

Don't you remember? I remember him saying something, but I didn't pay any attention.

Well, here we are.

I'll have this back door open in a jiffy and our friend fixed up before he knows it.
