This episode of the Adventures of Nero Wolfe first aired on November 17, 1950.Nero Wolfe, featured in 46 novels, movies, and television series, first came to radio on April 7, 1943. The great character actor Sydney Greenstreet played him from 1950-51. Wolfe, the "gargantuan gourmet", solved crimes with an attention to detail that surpassed the great Sherlock Holmes. The overweight detective of Rex Stout's novels refused to leave his tasteful brownstone on business, sending his wisecracking, two-fisted assistant, Archie Goodwin, out to do his legwork. This eccentric private investigator preferred tending to his cherished orchids over solving crimes. In fact, the only reason he worked at all was to keep up his lavish lifestyle.If you would like to contact us or recommend a show follow the the link to leave a message: https://anchor.fm/carnival-of-screams/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mysterytheater/supportSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/old-time-radio-mystery-theater/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
