This week on Ron’s Amazing Stories, we bring you a special one-hour broadcast from the legendary Suspense—and this one’s a real treat.
In a rare and clever crossover, Suspense takes characters from The Adventures of Sam Spade and drops them into a brand-new mystery. At the center of it all is the one and only Sam Spade, back on the case and up to his neck in trouble.
When a message arrives from an old enemy thought long gone—the infamous Fat Man from The Maltese Falcon—Sam is pulled into a strange hunt for something as unlikely as it is important… a tooth.
Yes, you heard that right.
What follows is a winding, suspense-filled adventure packed with familiar faces, sharp dialogue, and that unmistakable old-time radio charm.
Originally aired on January 10, 1948, this episode is a perfect example of why these stories have stood the test of time.
