What happens

Boston Blackie takes on an insurance case involving two stolen diamonds. When a French buyer named Jacques Pierre arrives to purchase the stones from a fence named Dalton, Blackie infiltrates the meeting in disguise to recover the gems before the sale is completed.

A fence's office in the city where stolen diamonds are being sold to a foreign buyer.

Characters: Boston Blackie, Inspector Faraday, Ernest Harvey, Shorty, Dalton, Jacques Pierre, Jerry, Bob

Listen for: Blackie's clever impersonation of a Frenchman and his attempt to outmaneuver the thieves and fence in a tense negotiation over the valuable diamonds.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
