Transcript

Stay tuned for Nero Wolf, which follows transcribed in 30 seconds. What's on the menu at Duffy's Tavern tonight? Hell, there's a full serving of laughs with Archie the Manager, played by Ed Gardner, and his unpredictable friend, Miss Duffy, Clifton Finnegan, and Eddie the Waiter.

It's Duffy's Tavern, later this evening, over most of these NBC stations. And this Sunday, the big show comes your way once again, with Bob Hope, Jimmy Durati, Perry Como, Jose Ferrer, Mindy Carson, Eddie Catter, Meredith Wilson, and his orchestra, and many, many more.

And of course, your MC once again will be Tallulah Bankhead. That's this Sunday for the Big Show. Now, ladies and gentlemen, we take you to the most famous Brown Stone House in New York City, the one located at number 601 West 35th Street.

Oh, Mr. Wolf. Mr. Wolf. When's any idea? Would you be interested in taking on a case involving a woman who was found stabbed to death in one of New York's fancier men's clubs. Can't you see I'm already occupied Archie? My own city and hybrid is alien.

But sir, cash, C-A-S-H. Remember you need it to live on? Well, you're actually learning to spend. You'd better learn to count. We're broke. Thank you Mr. Goodwin. Now if you just go away and stop interfering.

Oh, just a minute. Yes sir? On your way out, switch on the fan. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's that one and only man of moves. The most famous detective in modern fiction. That corpulent orchid-raising beer-drinking gourmet who also happens to be a genius.

Rex stops incomparable Nero Will, starring Mr. Sidney Greenstreet. Tonight, Nero Will's long-suffering assistant Archie Goodwin tells us of the case of the careless cleaner. No clay Michelson very well at the time, or Mr. Wolf at Hunn one of the Michelson's paintings in the Library War.
