- From the long running radio series starring Dick Powell, this is, "The Jewel Thief."
Richard Diamond was a great radio drama/detective series. It ran for several years and was later adapted for TV (with David Janssen in the lead role).
This episode originally aired on February 19, 1950.
Radio can really tell a story, paint a picture in your mind. Listen to radio with my mom in the 50's., Now I'm 73, Alone with covid19 destroying the world, radio is the best thing now.
I used to listen with my grandpa on his floor model radio in the 50s. Wonderful memories. By the way I like the name. Lol
Love this stuff, thanks
Love the signature whistling of the series. Lol
One of my favorite old scool radio shows along with Jack Benny, Yours Truly Johnny Dollar and Life w Luigi.
Still the best detective show on the radio! Yours truly Johnny Dollar close second.
This episode was written by Blake Edwards who became a famous Hollywood movie director. The Pink Panther movies, for instance, among many others.
Edwards was married to julie andrews
love this show.
Me too! I've loved it for seventy years. SO glad to havei it back again. Dick Powell always was an ACE.
Diamond gets smacked upside of the head so many times throughout the series... once I think he got knocked out like 5 times in one show [wth?] it's a wonder the poor bugger can even walk let alone talk in a straight sentence LMAO!! Go Diamond the invincible!
At the time, the series appeared on NBC's Sunday afternoon schedule at 5pm(et)- opposite Mutual's "THE SHADOW".
28:09- "THE AMERICAN ALBUM OF FAMILIAR MUSIC", 9:30pm(et);
"TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT" {"THE $64 QUESTION"}, 10pm(et)
Blake Edwards also created the show as well, 'starmountainkid'.
Dick Powell is the best private detective.
"....radio, theater of the mind".

I know that these transcriptions are edited. Some of the cuts are mid word, thereby changing the meaning of the dialog or confusing the issue. Just one example can be heard at 1:20 on the time line where his customary slogan gag is obliterated. Why?
I don’t think it’s a cut at 1:20 - I think he is saying, “hap... py homicide!” Similar to the great Tim Curry’s delivery of anticip...pation.
Anyone know the significants of the "Yo Yo" comment in the program?
This was 4 months ago but, I'm willing to guess they're slang for condoms
