1:41
of The Amazing Mister Malone, which finds a new Mister Malone in the position.
1:47
After one hundred and fifteen episodes, Frank Lovejoy left the series and went
1:53
over to NBC. He started a show called Here Comes McBride, which didn't
2:00
make it, but he would eventually land the role of his radio career that
2:06
old time radio fans most remember him for, as Randy Stone in Not Bait.
2:10
For the nineteen forty nine to fifty season, ABC signed Gene Raymond,
2:17
a veteran film actor, to take on the role of mister Malone. There
2:23
are quite a few partial episodes from this series that survive, However, the
2:31
first full episode that I've been able to find with Gene Raymond is the nineteenth
2:38
episode from his run. This episode aired on January the twenty ninth, nineteen
2:44
fifty, and the title is The Devil finds work for Idle Hands Operator Operator
2:52
Getting Me the Office of John came Alonge. The American Broadcasting Company presents The
3:04
Amazing Mister Malone, an exciting half hour of mysteries starring Geene Raymond. Our
3:09
locale is the city of Chicago, the time, the presence. I'm the
3:15
hero of these weekly adventures, The Amazing Mister Malone. Malone is the name
3:35
John J. Malone, Attorney and counselor at law. If you're one of
3:38
our regulars, you know how fond I am of flea change tonight, I'd
3:42
like to direct your attention to that oldie devil finds work for idle hands.
3:46
The idol hand from this case belonged to a gentleman named Paul McKenzie. Isn't
3:52
that mister McKenzie is, lady, He's just not working because he had an
3:54
argument with the State of Illinois. Unfortunate he came out of bad second.
4:01
Oh, I am dropped dead with him at the Chicago Paper. Let's see
4:09
it. I'm doing a cross with Buster No. A five. Let the
4:12

4:25
the windows? Stop? Let me see that. Let me see that point.

7:54
I told you to keep an eye on her. Give me that towel.
8:01
Well, well, what what have you got to say for yourself?
8:05
Be reasonable, will you? Mac? I couldn't follow Ruther on. Why

8:11
do getting you out of the country over a jump, Harris, I'm gonna
8:15
stay right here. Get out of your mind. You know that's the trouble
8:18
with you people who don't spend any time in jail. You don't appreciate your
8:22
own hometown. You forget all the attractions. I got a beautiful girl right
8:26
here in Chicago, in about a quarter of a million in the US.
8:28
Find I know. I'm Matt. That's fine because I want them both here
8:31
by five o'clock tonight. Violot that violent? I don't know why? Yes,
8:52
oh this wouldn't be Heaven's get to the working girl. Larry Harris,
9:01
don't you understand me? No, he's standing right here. Look, mister,
9:09
if this is your idea of a gag, I don't think it's funny.
9:13
It's a matter. Recognize my voice. That's right. I forgot your
9:16
sorry. Okay, Harrison, pick you up in a half hour, and
9:20
then I'll prove it personally. Let me look at your baby, change my
9:35
time. You look better than ever. Okay, Harris, beat it?
9:41
What's the matter? Don't you understand English? Go on, blowin youself somewhere
9:43
else to flop tonight, all right, make you stop being such a worry
9:48
what I'll be all right, gosh, it's wonderful to have you back.
9:58
Why don't you keeping touch of Harris? I you know how I always thought
10:01
about him that? Yeah, he's okay. That reminds me. I was
10:07
so taken to see I forgot to ask where the bonds bond? Yeah?
10:11
You know before I went out? Oh those Well, I didn't bring him
10:13
along? Why not? Oh? When Harris first told me you were here,
10:16
I thought he was kidney. When you can see he wasn't. I
10:20
want you to pick him up the second thing tomorrow morning. What do you
10:22
mean second thing? Because I got something else I want you to do first.
10:26
It was the best mouthpiece here in Chicago. I have no idea.
10:28
When I went up there was a fellow named uh John J. Malone of
10:33
the boys used to talk about it be store. I don't know. Well,
10:35
the first thing tomorrow, Ruth, you find out and make an appointment
10:37
for me. You'll find out when I talked to him alone. You know,
10:41
I hate to repeat myself. It's funny you don't answer. Maybe maybe
10:56
Malone doesn't come in morning. Yeah, what are you gonna do? Make
11:00
myself comfortable while I wait? Yeah, I think this is not to do
11:03
the trick, But you know it's the old man hasn't lost his touch on
11:11
Ruby, Matt listen to but honey, I did inside all right? Now,
11:18
what were you going to say's not gonna like this. I will teach
11:20
you not to break dates with yours truly? Yeah, you get You're right?
11:24
You mean you guess, aren't you sure? Well? I only meant,
11:28
wait a minute, didn't you make an appointment with Malone for me?
11:33
Of course I did, not coming in here. I don't know, all
11:39
right, So I am I never called him alone. You didn't, honest,
11:41
Mac, I was only thinking of your welfare. But you were.
11:45
And the next time I tell you to do something, do it. I
11:46
don't need any masterminding, Are you kidding? I got news for you,
11:52
sweetheart, even a joliet. I heard a couple of stories about you.
11:54
They were about me and aren't Lucas. They were alive? Was the name
11:56
again, Lucas? Come on to me. Fuck up, Ruthie. I'm
12:03
gonna know the square if I have to break every bone in that lovely body.
12:05
I'm wanting you, Matthew, stay away from me. You're me,
12:07
you big ape. Put a finger on me and I'll put a finger on
12:11
you and we'll feel it up more damage. It was just one alad things,
12:28
just one of those crazy things, one of those that's right. I've
12:35
been waiting for you. Switch generally wait inside, skip at your on your
12:43
mind, Miss Andrews, missus and I but you've still got something on your
12:48
mind, didn't we talking? You sure? Come right in, missus Andrews.
13:00
No, and second thought, stay right where you are. Not that
13:05
he did. He isn't as reasonable a fact similar as you can get with
13:09
two slugs in the brain. Oh McKenzie. One of the men who broke
13:16
out of jail yesterday. How would you know I recognize him the picture I
13:20
would have what you called the place your mind. Oh, Matt, all
13:28
right, Missus Andrew, you stay right here till I get back Mackenzie.
13:31
I wouldn't worry in his condition. I think we can prevail upon him to
13:35
hang around too. You're already of mine, Malone. Mackenzie was in the
13:50
car with Wayne when it went off at Drawbridge near Jolliett. And they recovered
13:54
the bodies yet, Lieutenant, Wow, And I know I never will,
13:56
at least not until McKenzie's because it's McKenzie's body is right here in my office
14:03
and Missus Andrews, A missus looks like nobody's home. I don't get it,
14:09
Brooks. I left her standing right by the smoke when happened to the
14:13
bodies. What body? I told you, McKenzie's. It was lying right
14:16
the end of the switchboard. Look, Malone, if you've got nothing better
14:20
to do, you've gotta believe me, Lieutenant. Why would I make up
14:22
a yarn like that? That's what I'm wondering. But whatever your reason is,
14:26
it better be funny. I tell you. The line was cut and
14:30
it seems to be all right now they mister Patrick. Oh sure, where
14:35
was this missus Andrews living at the Renner departments? That's Fleming O seven hundred
14:41
at it wasting your timeless tennant. Whoever removes McKenzie must have taken her along
14:46
to the right. She won't be in I know. There's only one question
14:48
in my mind whether she ever was. Are you calling me? It quiet?
14:56
You got to missus Susan Andrews registered there. Hello, Missus Susan Andrews.
15:05
Hey, there is such a person see there? Now let me talk
15:09
wait your turn. Hello, Hello, missus Andrews is Lieutenant Brooks of the
15:13
Homicide Bureau. Do you ever hear of a lawyer named John J. Malone?
15:18
Hello? No, and you weren't in his office this morning. I
15:24
don't know how I could your called. Just lea, thank you, Missus
15:28
Andrews, your witness counselor you are listening to the Amazing Mister Malone starring Jean
15:39
Raymond. The year in nineteen fifty March the twelfth anniversary of the National Foundation
15:50
for Infantile Paralysis founded by Franklin D. Roosevelt. The National Foundation for Infantile
15:56
Paralysis through March of Dimes Funds, is still caring for thousands of victims stricken
16:00
by polio in previous years. This ever increasing load must be met by March
16:06
of Dimes campaign funds each year. The cost of medical care has increased.
16:11
It takes more money this year than ever before, the pay for hot packs
16:15
that relieve pain, iron lungs that take the place of human lungs paralyzed by
16:19
pollio, physical therapy to help the patient recover, control of weakened muscles,
16:25
hospitalization, nurses, and medical care that are often required for months and years.
16:30
Besides, a way of preventing this disease must be found if our youngsters
16:33
are to be free from the constant threat of crippling. To continue caring for
16:37
old cases, to provide help for those who will be stricken by polio this
16:41
year, to keep up the desperately needed all out research program of tracking down
16:47
the preventive and cure for polio. We must all give more generously than ever
16:51
before when we join the March of Dimes. And now back to the amazing
16:56
mister Malone. When you practice criminal law in a city like Chicago, Schooy,
17:15
things are found to happen. What gets me, is why they all
17:18
happen? To Malone. I rarely go to my office, and the first
17:19
time I do in weeks, I'm met by a blonde named Susan Andrews and
17:23
the corpse. Twenty minutes later, both had disappeared. Missus Andrews was denying
17:29
on the phone she's seen either of us. After I got rid of Lieutenant
17:33
Brooks, I chased over to the reign of departments. Hello, missus Andrews,
17:41
remember me? Yeah? I love her. It's Malone. Won't you
17:44
come in trying to keep me out? All right? Missus Andrews, what's
17:48
this all about? Listen, Susie, I'm in no mood for evasions.
17:52
You saw me find Mackenzie's body this morning, yes, you, and I
17:55
want to know why you're lied about it on the phone. I don't know
17:57
what you're talking about, like a woman, but in your case, it's
18:02
coming back to you now, Malone, believe happened. The cops think I'm
18:07
crazy for the rest of my life. Oh no, Now, what went
18:10
on in that office after I left? Malone? Please, I'll make it
18:11
easy for you. You had a visitor, didn't you. Who was he?
18:17
What did he tell you? Keep my mouth shut. Never mind,
18:21
I can imagine what otherwise was then what happened? Picked body and disappeared?
18:26
It wasn't as simple as all. That's Susie. You don't walk around the
18:27
streets of Chicago with a dead body on your hands. That might cause talk.
18:32
How did he get rid of it and you followed him? Don't lie,
18:37
Susie. You must have what was the license number? I didn't think.
18:41
I'm warning you, sweetheart. All right, Susie, you've been a
18:48
great help. I think I can take it from there. Well, I'm
19:03
looking for a gent named Larry Harris. My name is John J. Malone
19:07
in the dark. I don't see why Harris, you're up to my office
19:10
this morning? Weren't you? Where'd you get that? Screwy it? You
19:12
own a forty nine buick license number eight L four six three. Don't you
19:15
know? You better inform a license duel. According to their records, the
19:18
car belongs to you, so what if it does? I parked near the
19:22
freight entrance to my building today or building. I thought the Presco was owned
19:26
by some corporation, and you were there supposing I was. Well, if
19:29
you'd admitted that before, we could have saved a lot of time. What
19:32
did you do with Mackenzie's body? Strictly between us? Malone? I don't
19:34
see how that's any of your business. Were You're wrong, Harris? When
19:37
someone uses my office for a slaughter house, it concerns me vitally. Yeah,
19:41
yeah, I suppose when you look at it that way, you've got
19:44
to beef with the five hundred bucks. Take care of it only if I
19:48
can take it out of information. I'll listen alone. Let me give you
19:49
a little chip. Nobody's got hurt except Mackenzie. No skin off of your
19:53
nose, forget it. And if I don't, someone's liable to get sore
19:56
right? And who might that be? Oh? I don't like to mention
19:59
names, but it might very possibly be me. You don't know, you
20:00
don't we going on? What's the matter? Can't you stand a little pressure
20:04
on pres I don't want to convince you. I mean business. Now.
20:07
What was your tie up with Mackenzie? You can go, come on,
20:11
Sphil, we were friends. He was hold up here last night. Why
20:15
did he want to see me? I don't know. I'm sure, I
20:17
tell you, I don't know. Would you know what happened to all that?
20:19
Money yet stashed away? What money? McKenzie was serving time for a
20:23
payroll robbery? They never found a dough. I never saw a penny of
20:26
it. And who did he spent all his girlfriend before they caught him?
20:30
It sounds like a physical impossibility. It was close to a quarter of a
20:33
million dollars. Harris, you don't know this girl, no, but i'd
20:37
like to what's her name? Ruth Nelson? That's one more thing. Did
20:40
you kill McKenzie and then go back to your office to remove his body?
20:42
Or what do you think? I don't know, but maybe Ruth Nelson can
20:45
help me arrive at some satisfactory answer later. Later, I help you,
21:00
madam. Ye wait a minute, you're no way hi. I still wouldn't
21:03
mind serving you now, i'd say off hand, you're the Scotch and soda
21:08
type, very easy on the soda. That's pretty good, and I by
21:12
you one. Aren't you afraid I might have a jealous boyfriend? Well?
21:15
Have you probably know the best way to handle him? Sit down, all
21:19
right, waiter, Scotcha's soda is here? What did he call you?
21:26
Quiet? Did he sound? Is your name alone? Well? I was
21:30
keeping it for a surprise. We beat it. What kind of hospitality do
21:34
you call that? I didn't turn you out when you're dropped in at my
21:37
office. Weren't you there this morning with McKenzie? No, you had to
21:41
do better, Ue hmm. I couldn't forget that perfume Max send you over
21:48
to apologize? Why should he let me tell you slap me around? Did
21:51
you do walk out any? Wouldn't you? Well? I wasn't going steady
21:55
with him, so it's hard to say. Where does he get off of
21:56
choosing me of two timing and with Ronold Lucas, aren't you No, Mac
22:00
doesn't believe me. He can check it with Ronold. You'll find him at
22:03
the granger. I kind of doubt that. Incidentally, Ruth, you wouldn't
22:07
happen to know why McKenzie wanted to see me in the first place. Didn't
22:10
he tell you he couldn't very well love her? When I first saw him,
22:12
he was dead murdered to be exact, Malone, Arnold had nothing to
22:21
do with it. If you did, Ruth, that's good enough for me,
22:36
said, Oh, would you be kind of a slip it under the
22:41
door just a moment? Hello? You're not from Western Union? Well?
22:51
I tried to enlist, but they wouldn't have me. Who are you alone?
22:56
Is the name John J? Malone alone? What can I do for
22:59
you? Miss? It's a long story, Lucas. Mind if I make
23:02
myself comfortable when I tell her, oh, please do and I offer you
23:04
something that just a couple of answers. You see, I'm a lawyer.
23:08
Yes, you get to meet a lot of dull people that way. Now
23:11
you'll never guess how I got in touch with you. But that's not you.
23:14
Ever hear of a man named Paul Mackenzie once or twice. He's dead?
23:18
How sir, afy those tears coming? I think I know where the
23:22
locator is, murderer. How did you accomplish that? Well? I had
23:26
several fine leads. Its an automobile license plate led me to one Larry Harris.
23:32
Harris, No, I don't believe I've had the pleasure. No,
23:34
but you have a mutual friend, Ruth Nelson. Uh uh, She's a
23:38
wonderful girl, Lucas. I'm so glad you appreciate her fun quality. I'd
23:42
be an ingrat if I didn't. After all, she gave me you.
23:47
Hello, Ruth, what are you doing here? You know the boys who
23:49
knows all the answers getting from that gun in your hand. I can only
23:53
be one. Never let it be said that you get for two and two
23:56
together, Darling that pleasure. Well, I'm on your way from alone.
24:04
I just thought you like, oh no, no, no, We'll have
24:07
plenty of opportunity for that later. I don't know. Lookus, you better
24:11
act fast before the police grab you. I don't think there's any danger that
24:15
you wrong. I got your boyfriend dead to rights, and that's where you're
24:18
wrong alone, because in a couple of minutes you'll have you dead. Period.
24:27
You are listening to the amazing mister Malone s Darring Jeane Raymond. Today,
24:37
America's schools are still suffering from a damage they experienced during and after the
24:41
war. A shortage of qualified teachers, too few young people preparing to become
24:47
teachers, classrooms overcrowded in many places, educational plants that are inadequate and in
24:52
many places obsolete. The situation's very serious. The chief victims are your youngsters.
24:57
It's now become plain the to give our children the kind of education we
25:02
want them to have, we must all remain and become fully alert from the
25:06
factors that go to make a good school system right. Stimulating classrooms and hopeful
25:11
energetic teachers. Inferior education for American boys and girls means damage to our future
25:17
prosperity, our traditions of freedom, our very security. Parents and citizens can
25:22
help by adjoining and working with local civic groups and school boards to improve educational
25:27
conditions. They can also show, by friendliness and interest that they appreciate the
25:33
vital importance of the teacher services to them, their children, and their community.
25:37
A good thing for everybody to remember is that our teachers mold our nation's
25:41
future. And now back to the amazing mister Malone. I'm just concerning about
26:00
a woman with a gun, particularly when she aims it at you. Even
26:03
Arnold Lucas, who is strictly a bystander, was fascinated. What seemed like
26:07
hours, we all stood there with no one saying a word, and then
26:11
Ruth went and broke the spell. All right, Malone, Gonny final requests.
26:15
Now is the time to make them now, Ruth, you know you're
26:18
not serious about this, But I've got nothing against you now. But you've
26:23
got plenty against Donald who told you he was wanted in New York. No
26:27
one you figured that out all by yourself. He's a smart boy, and
26:33
wouldn't take him long to guess if Mac went to his office. It could
26:37
only be for one reason. Wanted Malone to make a deal with him.
26:40
For the police, he wasting his time. Ruth, the state's attorney,
26:42
never would have accepted it. McKenzie ORed the police plenty for the payroll robbery
26:47
and a little extra something for that jail break. Lucas would really have to
26:51
be wanted pretty badly for the cops to forgive and forget. You never can
26:55
tell no, that's true enough. Well, now that you know it all
26:59
alone, what he intended to do about it? All right? You are?
27:03
Since it's my move, I better get out alone. Let me take
27:12
a look at her going on here. Come in, Harris, you're just
27:15
in time. I heard a shot. What happened? You see? I
27:18
didn't mean to kill him alone. I won't cheer up root. You didn't.
27:22
It's just a scratch. But you're a very careless girl. Anyone would
27:26
have done the same in my place. I had to protect her. I
27:27
guess you can't blame her alone. On a gal goes for a guy,
27:30
there's nothing she want to even try to cover him when you seen him commit
27:33
murder. We should know that better than you, Harris, meaning what meaning
27:37
you're the guy she's in love with, You are the one she's covering for.
27:40
Talking about sorry if I let the cat out of the bag, Roof,
27:42
But when it comes to murder, I'm just a great big blaber amount,
28:02
Oh, says he remember me mine, Yeah, I coupled lots of
28:07
life when I came over with Jaia with the saga of my fiance. I
28:11
heard all about it on the radio. Anyways, there's the music body no
28:17
no, I take it established as the mood h they stab on the air,
28:22
the Terris h McKenzie. They said, right, good? Why I
28:26
thought they were to the end? Only Harris saw it to it at McKenzie's
28:30
end came a lot sooner than I normally would. When McKenzie went to jail,
28:33
he left a quarter of a million dollars worth of loot with his girlfriend,
28:37
Ruth Nelson, and she and Harris. Uh huh, Well where did
28:41
this Arnold Lucas sit in? Oh? He was just a patsy in this
28:45
little affair. Roof was fattening him up for the kill. She led mackenzie
28:48
to believe that it was Lucas who was his rival, when all along it
28:52
was his boy. Here, I said, well, what put you on
28:55
the right track, Ruth? She was too anxious to make sure I didn't
28:57
overlook a clue. She was the one who sicked me out of Lucas originally.
29:02
Then she volunteered the information that he was wanted in New York, and
29:04
then on top of that, she tried to get me to believe that that
29:07
was the reason Mackenzie came to my office originally, of course not. Mackenzie
29:11
may have wanted me to work out a deal for him, but never on
29:14
that thesis. He'd be the first one to realize the police would never accept
29:18
it. Then what would be the deal? Well, of course, I'm
29:21
guessing now, but it's the only thing that makes sense. The state's attorney
29:25
originally offered to let Mackenzie plead guilty to a lesser crime if he turned back
29:29
the money he iced that payroll, Robbie. I guess after a year and
29:32
a half and stir McKenzie thought better of it. So if you put all
29:34
that together, plus the fact that Ruth tried to kill Lucas right in front
29:38
of me, it'll be silly, that gallant what she was doing? Or
29:42
do you think I had such an easy time disarming it? And does that
29:47
answer all your questions? Good? Now we can start on mine. I
29:53
didn't have time to ask you before. But what were you doing in front
29:56
of my office earlier in the morning. Well, as I told you,
30:00
I wanted to see you. Well. I generally handled divorce actions, Susie,
30:07
but for you, I might make an exception. Suppose you tell me
30:11
about your husband now, Well, he's handsome, charming, culture, everything
30:19
a woman could. Hey, wait a minute, you sound like you're still
30:22
in love with a guy. After I saw you this afternoon, I thought
30:29
it over and I called him. You should be here any n It's nice.
30:34
It was all my fault, Malone. I made a mistake. I
30:37
was just counting on him. Yeah, well, don't feel too badly,
30:42
Susie. We all make mistakes. I was counting on something too home,
30:52
Thank you and good night, missus Andrews. I he heard a story and
31:02
the boy who never found time to play he learned, if you plan your
31:06
work properly, you'll have time to kill. Tell you all about it next
31:08
week. So why not pick me up in my own at the same time,
31:11
I'll be waiting for you. Good night. Gen Raymond will start as
31:15
John J. Malone, with Henry Morgan as Lieutenant Brooks. Our program is
31:19
written by Gene Wang and directed by William Pierrussol, music by Basil Ablam.
31:25
The Amazing Mister Malone is based on the character created by Craig Rice and produced
31:29
by Bernard L. Schubert. The events and characters depicted in this story were
31:33
entirely fictional, and any resemblance to actual places of people living or dead is
31:37
entirely coincidental. And now this is Richard Tufel asking you to listen. Next
31:41
week The Amazing Mister Malone has come to you from Hollywood and now a listening
31:45
reminder. Tonight, Lawela Parsons take you to Berlin by Transcetlantic Wire for the
31:49
world premiere of the Hollywood motion picture Francis. Don't miss the Lawella Parsons Show
31:53
tonight. This is ABC, the American Broadcasting Company. Welcome back well even
32:00
after starting into dragnet, Jack Webb not below taking on a guest star role
32:08
as he does here playing a really bad heavy and of course he appears in
32:17
this episode along with Harry Morgan, who's listed as Henry Morgan, which I
32:23
believe was his right name, but it was changed because there was a satirist
32:29
named Henry Morgan and he didn't want to get confused with him. That,
32:32
by the way, is also while while m Conway changed his name from Tom
32:38
to Tim when he first came to Hollywood, because Tom Conway was a fairly
32:44
well known actor who we've heard previously in Sherlock Holmes. All right, well,
32:49
now we turned to listener comments and feedback. First of all, we
32:52
had some pretty good feedback on the first episode of Murder and Mister Malone featuring
33:00
Frank Lovejoy. Robertus simply fantastic episode, and Chris says always liked Lovejoy,
33:08
is Randy Stone and Nightbeat. We'll eventually get to that one, and of
33:14
course here comes McBride will be coming up in the twenty thirteen fourteen season.
33:21
Now we turn to listener comments and feedback, particularly from those who have donated
33:25
the show. Joel says, your podcast and the Superman Show are regular notly
33:31

34:45
writes Lynn. Michael says, I started listening to your app on a
34:51
recommendation of a friend at the start of the year and enjoyed immensely. Growing
34:54
up in Australia in the sixties and seventies, we watched TV and didn't give
35:00
any thoughts to radio drama and the quality of these programs have been a complete
35:02
eye opener for me. I really appreciate the work you put into producing the
35:06
app and bringing shows new to me to the air. Well. Thanks so
35:10
much, Michael, and I hope you've been enjoying our Australian programs the Card
35:15
Brown Mystery and we actually will have about four weeks of Australian Mister Malone stories
35:22
and Deanna Rots and you're most welcome for the support. I really enjoyed the

replay of Box thirteen. That was a great show and I sure miss it.

35:36
support, and I think that actually will do it for today. We will
