Runyon 4x-xx-xx ep25 Madame La Gimp

The Damon Runyon Theatre. Once again, the Damon Runyon Theatre brings you another story by the master storyteller Damon Runyon, and this one, the famous Natum Luggan. And to tell it to you, here is Broadway.

Thanks. One night I am standing at the corner of 50th and Broadway, just minding my own business, while along comes Dave the Dude in a taxi. He spots me, and the next thing I know, I am in the cab with him and headed for someplace. Naturally, I could refuse to go with him, but

Nobody ever refuses Dave anything unless they wish his Sunday punch. So there on the end, starting on one of the craziest things that ever happens on Broadway. And how it happens, I will tell you in a minute.

And now back to the Damon Runyon Theatre and the famous story, Nightam Luggan. As I say, Dave the Dude gets me into camp with him. We drive clear to the East Side to a row of knocked-out tenements.

Now it is very puzzling to me why Dave has taken me here. But he says nothing until we get out and walk up 1900 flights of stairs. While we are climbing up and up, Dave says...

It's on the top floor. What is and why? We should hit snow pretty soon. You know madam like gimp? Sure. The old doll that hangs around the theaters selling two-day old newspapers and tired flowers from the other day this parlor?

So what? We're gonna see it. Oh I see. That explains everything. everything. In we are, this is it. If she is not at home after we claim this month. She's home, all right. I brought her back from the hospital.
