In this week's "Tuesday Night Detectives" Halloween special on Vintage Classic Radio, we delve into the shadowy world of crime-solving with two thrilling detective stories.

First up, join the suave Sam Spade, in "The Adventures of Sam Spade" for the "Fairley Bright Caper", originally aired on October 31st, 1948. In this gripping episode, Sam Spade, portrayed by Howard Duff, navigates the deceitful web woven by the seductive Fairley Bright, played by Lurene Tuttle. Spade is hired to track down a missing millionaire, but the case quickly spirals into a dangerous game of cat and mouse involving betrayal and hidden motives. The episode also features key performances by John McIntire as Lieutenant Dundy and Wally Maher as Spade's loyal but often flustered secretary, Effie Perrine.

Following that, we step into the shoes of the legendary detective Nick Carter, in "Nick Carter, Master Detective" with the episode "The Case of the Devil's Left Eye", which first hit the airwaves on January 1st, 1948. Lon Clark stars as Nick Carter, with Helen Choate as his resourceful assistant Patsy Bowen. This chilling mystery begins when a cursed gem known as the Devil's Left Eye is stolen, leaving Carter into a world of superstition and murder. A dramatic confrontation reveals the unexpected truth behind the curse. Supporting performances include John Kane as Scubby Wilson, Carter's friend and occasional sidekick, adding a touch of humour and camaraderie to the suspenseful narrative.

Tune in to experience the thrills and chills of Halloween with master detectives in the golden age of radio on Vintage Classic Radio.
