Listen to the last episode:

In this week's episode of "Tuesday Night Detectives" on Vintage Classic Radio, we delve into the thrilling world of private eyes with two classic radio dramas.

First, we feature "The Adventures of Sam Spade" in the captivating episode titled "Rushlight Diamond Caper," originally broadcast on July 4, 1948. In this episode, the witty and gritty detective Sam Spade, portrayed by Howard Duff, is hired to recover the priceless Rushlight diamond. The plot thickens with a mix of betrayal and mystery as Spade navigates through a web of deceit. The episode also stars Lurene Tuttle as his loyal secretary Effie Perrine, and Joseph Kearns plays the villainous mastermind behind the theft.

Following that, we present "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar," starring Bob Bailey in the episode "The Too Much Money Matter," which first aired on September 11, 1960. In this intriguing case, Johnny Dollar, the freelance insurance investigator with the action-packed expense account, investigates a suspicious over-insurance of a cargo ship that leads to deceit, danger, and drama on the high seas. Alongside Bailey, the cast includes Virginia Gregg as the sharp and resourceful witness, and Jeanette Nolan, who delivers a stellar performance as the plot’s mysterious antagonist.

Join us as we step back in time to experience the shadows and suspense of the golden age of radio, where danger lurks around every corner and the truth is only a clue away. Tune in for a night of mystery and intrigue with Sam Spade and Johnny Dollar, as they unravel complex cases in their own unique styles.
