Now back to Dick Calmer's Boston Blackie.

Enemy to those who make him an enemy.

Friend to those who have no friend.

Now back to Boston Blackie.

This has been a strange evening for Boston Blackie.

Three times by three different people, he's been called Mr. Peterkin.

But this is nothing compared to what happened shortly after.

When Mary walks into Brandon's jewelry store with a watch Blackie had bought there an hour earlier, she finds the owner dead.

When Blackie joins her in the store to start an investigation, they're both found there by the police.

And though Inspector Faraday sees no reason to hold Mary or Blackie for Brandon's murder, an insurance agent demands their immediate arrest.

As we return to our story, Robert Winston, the insurance agent, calls on a certain diamond dealer.

And now on to Dick Calmer as Boston Blackie.

Enemy to those who make him an enemy.

Friend to those who have no friend.

Janet Corning and a man named Harry Barlow, wanted for a Kansas murder, are stealing furs and apparently getting assistance in their work from Boston Blackie.

Inspector Faraday is convinced that Blackie is working with the thieves when he finds a stolen fur coat hidden away in Mary Wesley's apartment.

When confronted with this evidence, Blackie locks both Faraday and Mary in a closet and escapes with Janet.

As we return to our story, Blackie and Janet are in Blackie's car driving down a street in a remote part of town.

I'm going to tell this the way I've told it to two therapists, one deputy, and exactly one person who knew the cabin's owner well enough to make a call that got returned.

I'm not going to dress it up, and I'm not going to pretend I understand everything that happened.
