Welcome to the Great Detectives of Old Time Radio from Boise, Idaho. This is your host, Adam Graham. In a moment, I'm going to bring you our first listener Support and Appreciation special. But first I do want to encourage you, if you are enjoying the podcast, to please follow us using your favorite podcast software. And also I want to encourage you to become one of our patreon supporters@patreon.greatdetectives.net Our Patreon supporters are such a vital part of making this podcast work. Truly appreciate it and I hope you enjoy this special. And now I've got to introduce this. I had expected that I would be doing corrections episodes, but we did those in order to buy some time to get the Great Adventurers podcast going. So now I get to do something that I heard probably a year or so ago and knew I wanted to do this and work this in as a special during one of our listener support campaigns. And it's a comedy episode, but it's from a comedy that a lot of people haven't heard about. Now. We've had a bit of a nostalgia craze in recent years. There have been revivals of old TV shows and film franchises, things that have been given more chapters and extensions decades after their last installments. And there are so many reboots, sequels, you just feel like nothing original is being created. Well, this tendency is not new at all. MGM Radio attractions in the late 1940s and early 1950s tapped into nostalgia for their earlier works as film stars and concepts for would come into the 1950s in familiar roles. They brought back Lou Ayers as Dr. Kildare with Lionel Barrymore as Dr. Gillespie, Ann Southern as Maisie. A series of radio programs Based on the 1930s crime does not Pay shorts. And they introduced the MGM Theater of the Air, which adapted many old MGM films of the 1930s, 30s and early 1940s to radios. And they brought back Mickey Rooney as Andy Hardy. The Andy Hardy film series had been big over a five year period from 1937 to 1942, where 13 films were released with two more films following in 1944 and 1946. The Hardy family radio series featured Rooney and reunited him with his on screen dad and mom, Louis Stone and Holden. The rest of the Hardy family from the films were absent from this radio series. It's an interesting series though, I guess episode by episode. It's a bit hit and miss in my opinion. However, when I heard today's episode, I knew I wanted to play it eventually as a special, an appropriate detective themed episode of a decidedly non detective themed program. Here from April 10, 1951 is the case of the Vanishing Warehouse.

From Hollywood, here's Vicki Rooney, Lewis Stone and Fay Holden in the Hardy Family. We're proud to present the Hardy Family based on the famous Federal Goldwood Mayor motion picture series which brought delight to millions and reflected the common joys and tribulations of the average American family. And now here are the same great stars and the parts they created on the screen. Louis Stone, Mickey Rooney and Fay Holden. The Hardy family. Every evening at six o', clock, Andy Hardy explodes through the front door of the Hardy home like a long range shell whistles through the living room and comes to rest at the dining room table with a burst of flack. Judge and Ma Hardy call this Operation Feedback. What time does your watch say, Emily? 5:59 and 3/4. Yeah, yeah, mine's the same. Well, Andrew will be hitting that front door in 15 seconds. Shall we run to the cellar tonight, dear? No, let's stay here and brave it out. Five seconds. Four, three, two, one. Zero. R. I'm home. I'm home. A direct hit. You're looking at the protector of people, champion of justice, enforcer of the law, defender of life and public safety. Oh, James. He's Mr. District Attorney. Mom. Listen, dear, one of Carvel's biggest outfits just hired me as a. As a private eye. Oh, but dear, why didn't they hire the rest of you? Well, Emily, it's somewhat unbelievable, but I think Andrew means he has become a detective. That's right, Andy. Oh, now, Andy, couldn't you find a steady job, dear? Steady job? Mom, this is a steady job. Now, Andy, I listen to Sam Spade, Nick Carter and Nero Wolf on the radio all the time and they never work over half an hour every week. Look here, in the first place, I'm not gonna be that kind of private eye. I won't exactly solve any cases. You see, I'll try to smell out the crime before it happens. Oh, I see. You'll be more of a private nose. No, dad, look, I'm going to work for the Carville Union Warehouse as a night guard. A night guard? Dean? Yeah, I walk through the warehouse with a flashlight and gun and look around to see if everything is all right. Oh, you mean you're really a private looker? I only look around every hour. The rest of the time I just sort of sit in an office, that's all. Oh, now I understand. You're a private sitter. My gosh, you folks make jokes. And I thought you'd be so proud of me. Oh, Andrew. Yes, Andrew, very pleased, very pleased indeed. But after all, you know, you're only a night watchman. Only a night watchman? Only a night watchman. Dad, did you ever hear of the case of the two million dollar warehouse fur robbery? I don't seem to recall that, no. Single handed night watchman John Henderson captured eight crooks in their armored car. Armored car? And he only had a flashlight and a measly little pen knife on him. Amazing. When did this happen? The last issue of Ghastly Detective Stories. Oh yes. Do you really feel that you have the qualifications to hold down a job like this? Certainly I do. Certainly. No criminal is a match for me with this trusty cannon at my side and this brilliant head on my shoulders. That's what worries me. What do you mean, dad? What worries? Well, I can just see the headlines. Some morning night watchman Andrew Hardy fires at fleeing crooks with trusty cannon. Missus puts hole through all brilliant head. Oh my. Isn't that exciting, James? Just imagine Andy having his name in the papers. Well son, I wish you all the luck in the world in this spine tingling new job. Thank you, dad. Thank you, sir. Tell me, when do you stop? At midnight, this very night. I don't suppose you care to come down some night and watch the changing of the Gods? That might be very interesting. I just hope you don't arrive in the middle of some blazing gunplay, that's all. What in the world is stored in the place? Nothing. It's been empty for a week. Andy, what was that? The clock just struck three. Lisa. No, no, I mean the other sound. Oh kid, it's this old warehouse that's all. Just creaks a little at night, that's all. Just creaks a little. This place should get a steady job with a couple of vampires. Relax, will you, please? Relax. The Eye is here to protect you. I'm glad you came down to sit with me on my first night too, kid. Yeah, it's been real keen fun. You like to sit in graveyards? Keep talking. Helps me stay awake, boy. Stay awake. Mm. My gosh. I thought you said you were worried about sleeping. I am. I am. I can't go to sleep on this job, you know. But I thought you meant you wanted to go to sleep. Certainly not. I'm not going to go to sleep. Want a bed? What do you mean? You know that coffee I went out to get you a few minutes ago? Yeah, with three sleeping pills in it. That's very nice. You knot it. Look. Beezy, do something. Slap me. Knock me around. Keep me awake. Beezy, keep me awake. Beezy, keep me awake. I can't. Why? I'll put three in mine too. Close your mouth, kid. You're yawning. I wish I was home in my nice, soft, warm bed. Shut up. Will you please? Cut it out. Cut it out, will you please? After all, beasy when you're on a job like. Wake up, will you? Anderson. Morning already? Hi, Andy. I guess I dropped off for a minute. Holy cats. Leave it to you to mess up a job like this. Yeah, I'm just not cut out for this work. Now, I gotta hand it to you for taking a job like this, Andy. It's cold and dark and spooky down here. Boy, I'd go nuts after one night on a job. This time, why don't you? Where am I, Anderson? Where am I? In a mausoleum in a mouth. Don't talk like that. This place is creepy enough without making it worse. Here comes the werewolf again. I'm going home. No, listen. Don't let a little noise like that bother you. It'll be daylight pretty soon. Yeah, and I want to be around to see it. Wait a minute. It creaks and groans like it was haunted. Look, you can't go home. I'll see you tomorrow, Andy. I know you won't mind staying here alone. Because like you say, there's no such things as ghosts and spooks that go around at night. Of course not. Oh, no. Criminals with guns and madmen with. Get out. Get out. Get out. What a coward. Afraid of a big, empty, dark place like this because it has a few moans and creeps. Shut up, party, you big jerk. Who's. Who's there? Who's there? Speak up. Speak up. I'll throw a scare into whoever it is. My guy's scared by my own voice. I gotta relax. Be confident. I got a gun, haven't I? Certainly. Good old cat. Yeah. You stand by me, won't you, baby? Huh? You get there. Put him up. Only a cat. Oh, my nerves are all on edge. Gotta loosen up. Take it easy. It's no use. What a horrible situation. Too drugged to stay awake and too scared to go to sleep. Hey, bud, come take a look at what I found in the office this morning. My gosh, an open manhole. No, no, it's a mouth. And I think there's a man behind it. Who is he? I don't know. Must be that new guard they put on the graveyard ship. Kid named Hardy. You know, it kind of gives you a feeling of security to know we got a man like that on the job, huh? Yeah. Well, let's get them up. We got a big consignment coming in today. Hey, Hardy. Eight o'. Clock. Rise and shine. Didn't budge. Em. Wait. I got a better idea. Okay, you must back the trucks up. We're cleaning out this warehouse and heading for the border. Oh, good night. This guy looks like an ad for Knockout Drop. I tell you what, let's fire his gun. That ought to do it. That's a good idea. Stand back. He couldn't be dead and make a noise like that, could he? I never saw anybody sleep that hard. What are we gonna do with him? Well, we could turn him into the lost and found. You know, Joe, I hate the suggestion. It's a low down, dirty trick. But go ahead. I like it already. Well, what do you say we carry him down the street and dump him in that vacant lot? Oh, that's murder. Yeah, he'll wake up and wonder what place has hit him. Well, look, you grab his legs and I'll take his arm. All right, Cap, but I don't want to wake him up now. Oh, boy, I'd give a day's pay to see the excuse freshing on his face about an hour from now. He'll have to go some to beat the one that's on his face now. Mom. Mom. Dad, are you up? Yes, dear, we're right in here having breakfast. Why wait till you hear what happened? You mean you had some excitement on your new job already? Excitement? Dad, the biggest crime wave in years has broken out. Crime wave? It's amazing. You won't believe it when I tell you. Believe me. No, we won't, dear. But tell us anyway. Well, Look, mom, about 4:00' clock this morning I dropped off to sleep in the warehouse. Andrew, you went to sleep on the job? Well, Beezy doped me. But I. I couldn't have handled these guys anyway. What guy? The most daring. The most daring, the most clever crooks of all time. Good heavens. You mean someone broke into the warehouse while you were asleep? Worse than that, dad. When I woke up, I was lying on cold buried ground right out in the open. Oh, goodness. And what happened? The biggest robbery in history, that's what. Robbery? You mean they stole something from the warehouse? From the warehouse? Dad, they stole the warehouse. In a moment, the Hardy family will return the prince away from your announcer. And now back to the Hardy family. Starring Mickey Rooney, Louis Stone and Fay Holden. If ever a man was destined to become a great criminologist, a famous G man or an outstanding chief of police, Andy Hardy is obviously not that man. Dad? Yes, Andrew? You happen to have any fingerprint dusting blood around the house? Fingerprint dusting? Well, now you know, son, that's strange. It is? Why, yes. I was just thinking this morning. I've got to remember to get a fresh box of fingerprint dusting powder. Oh, dad, please. Look, you know, it just seems to disappear around here. Just like embalming fluid. Never can keep a nothing bombing fluid in the house either. All he asked for a simple bit of fingerprint dusting powder, that's all. Andy, dear, there's some dusty fingerprints on the piano there. Yep. Sweetheart, luck, you don't seem to understand. I'm faced with a terrific baffling mystery and. Andrew, there was no mystery. You know, now that the warehouse wasn't stolen. Oh, that's not the point. I was. Dear, there's nothing to worry about. You found yourself. Darling, you don't understand. Somebody must have carried me out of that warehouse and put me in that vacant lot. It's obvious somebody was trying to get me out of the way. Well, I'd say it's pretty obvious. They certainly succeeded. Dragged me out, threw me in the loft and then went back to rob the warehouse. Yeah, I'll bet they were surprised when they found it empty. They probably miscalculated. A big consignment just came in today. That's what they were after. They didn't get it. Did. It's all clear now. Don't you see? They'll be back. If I could only get someone to come to the warehouse. With me tonight. I'd like to set a trap. Oh, yes, I imagine that old place must be full of mice. No, honey, I mean a trap for the crooks. They'll be back. Criminal always returns the scene of his crime. Believe me. But there was no crime, dad. There's going to be. Believe me, there is going to be. If I could just sit at that desk again tonight and pretend to be asleep. If somebody else were to hide behind the office door, Ricky, maybe BT Anderson would do it. Anderson? He wouldn't come within a mile of the place. Well, don't look at me. I intend to get a good night's sleep. Well. Oh, my goodness. Oh, I simply die if I saw a real criminal. Well, there's only one other person I could hope to get. Holly Benedict. Well, son, I hope you know what you're doing. Don't worry about me, dad. But just in case I'm not home by 10 o' clock tomorrow morning. Yes, dear. Bring a pillow and blanket out to the vacant lot. It gets pretty cold out there. Mom, Mom, dad, the case is all wrapped up. What's that? Yes, Andrew, you mean that you've mastered the mystery already? I don't monkey around with a thing when I really go to work on a dad, believe me. Oh, I think that's wonderful. How did you manage it, dear? Sit down a minute while I just take my report on the case of the vanishing warehouse dictator. Yeah, certainly a private eye always makes out a report. Oh, can you take shorthand, Emily? Oh, no, dear, no. Can you? No, I'm afraid not. Well, maybe if Andy could speak in shorthand, I could take you down in longhand. Never mind, Mom. I'll give you the report anyway. That's good. Now, let's have it. Private investigator Andrew Hardy lies in number 4615-334264-91785. 265-31-5597, dash. Okay. 910, Jack, Queen, King. That sounds like a roll call at San Quentin. Well, as I was about to say, I left the house here and started for poly fee. Oh, James, isn't that an exciting report? Darling, Sweetheart, I'm just starting out on the report. Oh, I'm sorry. I was in a completely new world outside our house. It was entirely different from being inside the house. James, isn't that weird? That's positively spooky. The dense fog got wrapped around me like a blanket fog when. Oh, James, there's always a fog. Somewhere out in that pea soup, a mournful boat whistle sounded. Yeah, it was spine jangling I imagine wise when you consider there isn't any water within 200 miles of here. Hoping blindly, I found my way to Polly's house. I rang the doorbell. Said door opened. I'll never forget the shock I got at that moment. It was a short circuit in the doorbell. You see, standing in the doorway was. Who do you suppose? A banshee. Christopher Columbus Electrical. Admiral Dewey. Nuh. Now it's your turn again, Emily. It was Polly. That's unbelievable. Yes, Polly. Imagine Polly Benedict being at Polly Benedict's house. Amazing. She was beautiful. So happy, gay and alive with living. I felt like I was defacing a beautiful painting. But I had to tell her I was on a mission of danger. That death might be lurking just around every corner. I'll never forget how she smiled bravely and said ever so sweetly to me, honestly, Andy, I think you're a screwball. Look, look, sweetheart, I'm in this thing deep up to my neck, understand? Well, that certainly isn't very deep. Listen, sweetheart, we gotta move. We gotta move fast. You wanna work on this case with me or not? Well, what do you want me to do? Just hide behind the door of the warehouse office for a few hours, that's all. A few hours. And keep your Roscoe ready for action. Roscoe. You're gat, woman. You're gat. Oh. When the crooks come in the room, you jump on them from behind and it's all over. You mean I'm all over, Mr. Cinch? I got it figured right down to the second. And what will you be doing all this time? I, little lady, will be sleeping at the desk. She put a coat over his solid gold evening gown and we hurried out to my car. I turned the key in the ignition, stepped on the starter and felt a surge of smooth power as the motor caught and we glided quietly into the fog. In a few minutes, we pulled up in front of the old warehouse. It was deathly quiet. Sweethearts. Nothing seemed to move. Sweethearts. But it was very still and ominous. Sweethearts. This was it. It was now or never. If the crooks came back tonight and I caught them, the case would be solved forever. The case would be cracked, dear. Yeah, yeah, cracked. I completely agree with the cracked idea. Here's the way I figured it. If I didn't catch the crooks, I only had two things to worry about. Either they'd never come back, or they'd try again next month. If they didn't come back, I had nothing to worry about. If they did come back, I'd try to Catch them? If I caught him, the case would be cracked. If I didn't catch them, I only had two things to worry about. Either they'd never come back, or they'd come back next month or. Well, just let me know when you get to October. My vacation comes up. Then we approach the door of said warehouse office. Just midnight. Time for me to report on the job. If the thieves were going to strike it, it'd be soon. Then I saw him. Every muscle in my body froze. The back of my neck crept up toward the top of my head. Oh, Andy, dear. Didn't that push your hair down over your eyes? Andrew, take a short cut. Who was the man? Oh. Oh, the man. The other night watchman. He was just going home. He had a close friend. I almost shot him myself. Then Polly and I headed for the warehouse office. Andy. Andy, don't cross the sidewalk. I have a feeling something horrible, something unnatural is waiting there in the dark. Sweetheart, we can't turn back now. It's it or us. Oh, Andy, please. Please don't go that way. I laughed at the foolish child. I thought you were simply hysterical. Then. Then it. Then it happened. I must have fallen two miles down that manhole. My whole life passed before my eyes. You know, it'll make a wonderful Technicolor picture, too. Finally, I hit bottom with a thud. Then I. I was being lifted on a peppermint stick. Giant candid cameras flew past, popping the flashbulbs and clicking the shutters up and up. I went into a raspberry gelatin sky. And then I saw it. I saw it. My little pink cotton cloud number six and seven eights. And that horrible, grinning little man was there, laughing. I loathed him. That monster. That monster. My alter ego. Alter who? Do you. Alter ego? Emily. That's his other self? Yes. I don't understand this part of it. Auntie dear. Come back, me little pink cloud, and climb up out of that manhole. My head was splitting. A million stars were exploding all around me. And that fiendish little gnome kept laughing. James, Isn't that funny? Suddenly I crashed back to earth. Don't come down so f You'll get the bins. Wind up said manhole and the whole solution of the mystery came to me in just a flash. That's fine, that's fine. I mean, we have it in a flash also. Period. End of report. Period. Dash, semicolon. Period. Stop. End of report. End of report. You haven't solved anything yet. Certainly I did. I washed the case up in two minutes. But how dear, but how easy. I just walked up to the boss this morning and quit the moment. The Hardy family will reserve. Now here again is the Hardy family. Dad, what would you say if I told you I was going into a sensational new business? Andrew, I wouldn't say a word. I'd be speechless. Yes, but Andy, you've got another job already. Yeah, I ran into a guy who's planning to open a new office in Carville. He gave me his phone number and told me to call him this evening. Well, what little venture are you interested in this time? Swiss Alp climbing? No, no, not Swiss Alp climbing, dad. This job is just tailor made for me. As I recall it, you were just perfect for that night watchman's job too. That wasn't right for me. I know I'm no good at guarding things. I'm better at losing things. Yes, that's right. Here, James, you remember just last week he lost his watch and his wallet. That's right. So I'm going into the losing business. Losing business? Yeah, I'm going to sell Flor policies for an insurance company. You know, we pay off if you. If you happen to lose something. Well, that sounds wonderful for you, dear. It does sound like work more suited to your talents. I think you ought to call a man right away. I would, except for one thing. What's that? I lost his phone number. The Hardy Family, starring Willis Stone, Nikki Rooney and Fay Holden is based on characters created by Orania Ruberal. This program was written by Jameson Brewer.

Welcome back. This was so funny. So many great detective shows were parodied. Sam Spade and Rogues Gallery were prominent, but they just did some general parodies of genre conventions in general. I thought the manhole cover bit was hilarious. And there's a wonderful balance of Mickey Rooney giving this over the top manic energy. And Lewis Stone and Fay Holden just coming up with these great lines that are delivered so matter of factly and in such a relaxed way. And I thought Fay Holden had just the best lines here. I laughed a lot at this and I hope you enjoyed it as well, because this was a lot of fun for me. Now, I will note that the Andy Hardy film series did actually continue. There was a film final installment in 1958, by which time Louis Stone had passed away. So this wasn't quite the last guess for Andy Hardy, just pretty close. All right, well, now it's time to thank our Patreon supporters of the day. And I want to thank Kathy, patreon supporter since February 2024, currently supporting the podcast at the Psalmist level of $4 or more per month. Thanks so much for your support, Kathy. And that will do it for today. If you're enjoying the podcast, please follow us using your favorite podcast software. Well, we will be back next week with another listener support and appreciation special, but join us back here tomorrow for the Adventures of the Falcon, where.

Uh huh. Well, what did he want? Well, now, this ain't no place to talk. I. I got a brand new Nash around the corner and you can say anything you've got to right here. Well, it's kind of embarrassing, Sheila. I don't like to be seen taking money from a woman in a public thoroughfare. What are you talking about? Well, naturally, you can't expect me to divulge this kind of information for free. You're absolutely right, Mr. Pulaski. So you keep your information and I'll keep my money. Oh, now, wait a minute. I'm not interested. Well, this really concerns you, I doubt. Looks like I ain't gonna make a buck from the Barker family nohow. But I like you better than I do your husband. Thanks. I mean it. If I were you, Sheila, I'd watch my step. Larry's checking up on you. What do you mean? That's what I said. As a matter of fact, I did a little checking on you myself. Why? Take it easy. As far as I can learn, you never once stepped out of line. So what's the matter with that husband of yours anyway? He must be out of his mind. You may be right. Well, if I was you, honey, I'd never put up with it.
