Episode 12 - Scale-Tipping Sleuth (The Fat Man)

J. Scott Smart stars as Brad Runyon, aka The Fat Man - "a fast-moving criminologist who tips the scales at 237 pounds!" This original radio creation of Dashiell Hammett was one of radio's most popular shows, and Runyon is a detective who combines Nero Wolfe's brains and size with Sam Spade's fists. We'll hear "The Black Angel," first broadcast on ABC on July 8, 1946.
