This week's “Tuesday Night Detectives” on Vintage Classic Radio brings a festive twist with three thrilling holiday specials from the golden age of radio. In "Broadway is My Beat" from December 22, 1951, Detective Danny Clover, portrayed by Larry Thor, unravels the mystery of "Buddy Malpaugh and the Jeweled Scimitar." As snow blankets the streets of New York, Clover tracks the elusive Buddy Malpaugh who has stolen a precious scimitar sword, adorned with jewels. Charles Calvert voices Sgt. Tartaglia and Jack Kruschen plays Muggavan in this chilling winter tale. Next up is "Candy Matson" from December 10, 1949, featuring Natalie Masters as the sharp-witted private eye in "Jack Frost." This episode sees Matson investigating a suspicious accident in a chilly San Francisco, accompanied by her loyal sidekick Rembrandt Watson, voiced by Jack Thomas. The twist comes when they discover a plot that could ice over the Christmas cheer, making it a thrilling holiday investigation. Wrapping up the trio of tales, we revisit "The New Adventures of Nero Wolfe" from December 22, 1950, in "The Slaughtered Santas." With Sidney Greenstreet playing the iconic armchair detective Nero Wolfe, and his assistant Archie Goodwin played by Larry Dobkin, the duo solves the sinister slaying of men dressed as Santa Claus. This chilling mystery dives into the darker side of the festive season, presenting a high-stakes puzzle for Wolfe and his sharp instincts. These episodes blend intrigue with holiday spirit, offering listeners an evocative throwback to yesteryear's Christmases, filled with suspense and festive adventure. Whether it's following footprints in the snow in New York, untangling a frosty mystery in San Francisco, or solving a series of Santa Claus murders, each story promises to keep you guessing and entertained during the holiday season.
