Listen "Episode 118 - That Old Blackie Magic (Boston Blackie)"
Episode Synopsis
Reformed jewel thief Boston Blackie was a debonair detective in his years on radio. Along with his girlfriend Mary Wesley and sidekick Shorty, Blackie used his underworld know-how to catch more unscrupulous thieves and scoundrels. Racing against Blackie to crack the case first was Inspector Farraday of the police, always unsure of Blackie’s conversion to the side of law and order. To celebrate the anniversary of his radio debut, we’ll hear him in a pair of radio mysteries: “The Star of the Nile” starring Chester Morris (originally aired on NBC on July 14, 1944), and “Blackie Steals a Necklace for Charity,” a syndicated episode starring Richard Kollmar.
