Hello? Yes, this is the Falcon speaking. Oh, Kathy. Thanks for calling, Angel. I can't make it tonight. I have to see a girl about a prize fighter. He was asked to throw a fight, and it looks like he has a choice of being knocked out or knocked off.

The adventures of the Falcon, starring Les Damon. You met the Falcon first in his best-selling novels. Then you saw him in his thrilling motion picture series. Now join him on the air when the Falcon sobs.

The Case of the Worried Champion! The Case of the Worried Champion! It's Sunday in New York, and this particular Sunday happens to be the birthday of boxing champion Tommy Foster. So Foster's manager, Luke Whitney, throwing a big celebration at the River Steakhouse, and a good time as being had by all.

And suddenly Foster's jaw tightened in these cows and stares across the room. Whitney, notice. Now what's American? Look who just came in. Whoa! What do you know? Steve Cortez. It was in the paper. You were having a party for me here. That's why he came.
