The Prodigal Daughter

My name's Jeff Regan. I'm the lion's eye, his private eye. I work for Anthony J. Lyon, head of the International Detective Bureau. He doesn't care where the money comes from, just so long as it comes to him.

He cashes in on trouble, for him it pays off. For me, it's work. Here's the kind of adventure you've been waiting to hear. Hard-boiled action and mystery with radio's most exciting private detective, Jeff Regan.

So stand by for trouble and suspense in tonight's story of the prodigal daughter. And now here's Jack Webb as Jeff Regan. This is the way it started. Melody was sitting in the outer office wearing her horn rim glasses.

Fat told me that the client was in with a lion. I smiled at her and she blinked back, rolled her eyes toward the lion's den. She's polite today. Yeah, I know. On the phone I was Jeffery.

No. Why do you stand for it? I wish I knew him, Melody. It buzzed me in, will you? Yes, Mother Dave. Mr. Regan, dear, now, Mr. Iron. Oh, well, send him in. Send him in. We're waiting.

Good luck, thanks. Ah, Jeffrey, Jeffrey, my boy. My boy, come in. Come in. There's someone here I want you to meet. Now, then, Jeffrey. Mr. Carter, this is Mr. Jeffrey Regan, one of my very best men.

Jeffrey, this is Mr. Daniel Carter. How do you do? How do you do, Mr. Regan? Mr. Lyon has assured me that you're a discrete young man. Well, I always... I always discreetness, Mr. Carter. International detective bureau is ethically bound to employ sympathetic understanding personnel, as well as alert productive operators.
