Originally Aired: April 19, 1945
In Suspense #138, “Pearls Are a Nuisance,” William Bendix and Alan Joslyn star in Raymond Chandler’s slyly comic tale of bumbling detectives, fake pearls, and one very inconvenient romance. When Mrs. Penruddock’s “priceless” pearl necklace vanishes, mild-mannered Walter Gage and the tough ex-chauffeur Henry Eichelberger form an unlikely duo to recover the loot. Their hunt through seedy hotels, nightclubs, and the underworld reveals a tangle of mistaken identity, double-crosses, and Chandler’s signature wisecracks—right up to the last punch. A rare light-hearted gem from the golden age of radio noir.
