Episode 101 - Amazing, Esquire (Amazing Mr. Malone)

Craig Rice's crafty criminal lawyer John J. Malone, a wisecracking counsellor at law, sprang from the pages of mystery novels to radio in The Amazing Mr. Malone . Malone takes tough cases in Chicago, where he does his own leg work to clear his wrongfully accused clients. He's more of a Paul Drake than a Perry Mason in the way he tackles his cases. We'll hear George Petrie star as Malone in "Hard Work Never Killed Anyone," originally aired on NBC on June 1, 1951.
