What happens
Nero Wolfe and his assistant Archie Goodwin take on the case of Gloria Kent, a young woman whose late mother's money has been spent by her father on a supposed treasure map. The map and letters were sold to Mr. Kent by a pair of swindlers, Cross and Hallock, who later return the money to Gloria. The episode is part of the New Adventures of Nero Wolfe radio series, which first aired on October 20, 1950, and this title stars Sidney Greenstreet in the role of Wolfe. Archie is the narrator and the one who handles the pressing details of the case.
New York City, in Nero Wolfe's brownstone office on West 35th Street, the Kent house, and the Hotel Bogard.

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.
