This week on Ron’s Amazing Stories we visit the famous brownstone of one of radio’s most brilliant—and most stubborn—detectives. Join Nero Wolfe and his trusted assistant Archie Goodwin for an evening of classic mystery, clever deduction, and murder most foul.
Created by Rex Stout, Nero Wolfe became one of detective fiction’s most beloved characters, appearing in dozens of novels and radio adaptations. Tonight we feature two adventures from The New Adventures of Nero Wolfe starring the unforgettable Sidney Greenstreet as the great detective and Harry Bartell as Archie Goodwin.
Wolfe may prefer orchids, gourmet meals, and the comfort of his armchair, but trouble has a habit of knocking at his door.
In This Episode
- “The Girl That Cried Wolfe” (12/15/1950)
Archie and Nero receive a call from a redhead determined to create confusion and distraction. But when deception turns deadly, the question becomes—was Nero Wolfe quick enough to stop a murder? - “The Impolite Corpse” (12/8/1950)
Nero is called to investigate the murder of an overbearing businessman whose endless rules made him plenty of enemies. This time, Wolfe may have discovered a victim who made one rule too many. - Tonight we’ll explore the fascinating history of Nero Wolfe, from the novels of Rex Stout to his radio adventures, and talk about the remarkable Sidney Greenstreet, whose commanding performance helped define the character for generations of listeners.
So settle back, dim the lights, and enjoy Nero Wolfe: A Night of Murder & Mystery.
And remember… every story leaves something behind.
