Malevolent Medic

Stay tuned for Nero Wolf, transcribed in 30 seconds. Tomorrow, you're invited to a one-hour concert by the renowned NBC Symphony. The orchestra will be under the direction of Bruno Walter for tomorrow's performance, and celebrated violinist Joseph Saguetti will be featured soloist.

Selections for tomorrow include the overture to Mozart's Marriage of Figaro and the same composer's brilliant concerto for violin and orchestra. You're invited every Saturday to a concert by the NBC Symphony. Ladies and gentlemen, the ringing of that phone bell brings you mystery, adventure.

Narrow Wolf's office, Archie Goodwin speaking. Who? Mr. Hal Horton, United Industries? Oh, I see. Well, I must warn you, Mr. Horton, Mr. Wolf doesn't take kindly to big industrialists, says their great wealth upsets his digestion.

Why do you want to see him? The connection's bad, I don't hear you. Who? Who? Mr. Horton who- We're cut off. What is it Mr. Goodwin? Mr. Hal Horton called. I understand that. I won't see him.

Tell him what money I have to invest. I put into walkie-brance. Mr. Horton wasn't promoting anything. And what did he call you for? The Great Horton needs a detective. Maybe just my occupational reflex, but I thought he said somebody had been murdered.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's that genius who is the bulkiest, bulkiest, most ponderous and most brilliant detective in the world. Yes, none other than that chair-borne mass of unpredictable intellect, Nero Wool, created by Rex Stout, and brought to you in a new series of adventures of this NBC network in the person of Mr. Sidney Green Street.

It turned out that what Horton had said had been worded, which became celebrated in the case of the malevolent medic. But its solution wasn't a simple matter of following up his accusation. It had false clues mixed all through it like raisins in a pudding.
