Listen Steve Granger, private detective with a story about a
girl who decided to get married and tried so hard
that it nearly killed me. Just a moment, I'll take
(02:59):
you back to one of my most interesting cases. This
is Granger, and in my head I have a note
which reads meet me at the Rendezvous Room at ten tonight.
I'll be in the bar wearing a pink dress signed
(03:20):
Gloria Lane. This is ten o'clock and this is the
Rendezvous Room, one of the smarter Manhattan supper clubs. Go
to the brim with customer just itching a part with
a ten dollar bill. Not knowing what Gloria Lane looked like,
I leaned up against the bar and waited for the
(03:40):
melopments big dress. Here, it's Steve Granger and you're Clia Lane.
Glad to meet you, Miss Lane, I'm glad to meet you.
Want to talk here? Shall we find a spot a
little more secluded.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
I think we should get out of here.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Let's go.
Speaker 7 (04:03):
Well, well it isn't the demon detective ah ain't Granger?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Pretty good?
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Rick?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Miss Lane? You know uh Rick Darrell, the owner of
Runne Bull.
Speaker 7 (04:12):
Oh, Gloria, I didn't realize it was you Ai.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
I'm fine, Rick, I can assume that.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
You do tap me. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (04:20):
Many times Grangers go here?
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Why are you?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Were a private investigator?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Business?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Hardly?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Granger and I are all friends.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
We were just leaving your pardon and there's a telephone
call for miss Lane.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I'm sorry, I haven't time took on a phone right now.
We were just leaving.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
I must beg miss Lane's pardonment again. This is a
most important call long distance. The operator said, very well,
will you waite, Granger, I'd be delighted.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I will show you the phone.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Miss Lane. I'll find it myself. I waited ten minutes
and twenty Miss Lane didn't show up. I wanted out
to the line of telephone booths in the lobby of
the Rendezvous and found no Glory Lane. We cornered the
head waiter who paged her. Yes, mister Granger, what happened
(05:09):
was Lane? She hasn't returned. I don't see her any
of the phone booths. Eh. She had a long distance closer.
I don't know what it said, but she left here
very abruptly. She left no message for me, none whatsoever,
mister Granger. You know where she could have gone?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Where she lives?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Hardly, mister Granger.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I'm just the head waiter.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Thanks.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I moved down the.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Street, wondering what this was all about. A look in
Gloria Lane's eyes when the headway to page her indicated fear.
But why disappear? Or had Choloody lied and had someone
forced her to accompany them? I stopped for a second,
debating what to do. Then I heard it. This was
(05:56):
someone in pain, someone down the alley way just to
my right. She was lying alongside the wall of the building.
And she was my recent friend, Gloria Lane. Get me
har sure, Gloria's sure?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Man?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
This is Granger? Where do you live? Right? Come on, baby,
come on, wake up, and he's better carry into I
Rendez wouldn't call a doctor. Listen, follow long row, real desk.
All right, So you got again and this guy has
(06:35):
been badly beaten and she needs a doctor.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
Just mind your own business. This time will be taken
on cal I I understand.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Now gone movements. I don't think so. You you haven't
gotten nerve enough to shoot. This is a blind alley.
There'll be four cops on your back before you made
a street. Oh what, guy know? It's so wise that
I'm taking this girl out of here. Okay, pick her up.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I'll continue with this interesting story in a minute. As
I went over to pick up the limb body of
Gloria Lane, a man behind me with a gun made
me a present of it right on the top of
the head. But I came to I stirred around, brushed
off my clothes, and got on my feet. The alley
(07:29):
was deserted, no Gloria Lane and no sign of the
guy who knocked me out. I looked around for a
door and found it the back entrance to the rendezvous.
I moved through the kitchen into the main room of
the club, and I asked questions. Rick Daryl wasn't around. Hilletti,
the head waiter, wasn't around. No one had seen Gloria Lane.
(07:52):
I took myself home, went to bed, hoping to forget
the whole thing. In the morning, I went to my office,
sat down, read the newspapers, nobody had reported anything.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Granger.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I want to talk to you, Hi, Rickly for night
spot operator to be around, isn't it.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
I want to ask you some questions, Granger. Oh, like
what why were you with Gloria Lane last night? I
think that's my business, although it should be obvious. She's
a very attractive woman.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Did you take her home? Nope? Hmm, what's wrong? Rick?
I've got a chore for you.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
Find Gloria Lane for me? Why personal reasons. I'll pay
you one hundred dollars and give you twenty four hours
in which to do it.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
It's a large order. Got the ideas a few That's
why are you so anxious to find Gloria Lane.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
She promised to marry me two weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Oh.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
I don't like people who break promises. Can't believe me
and that goes for you too. If I find out
that you saw Glory after she left the rendezvous, you'll
answer to me.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
If you're going to be tough about this, find another
boy to run the errands. Yeah, I guess you're right.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Okay, you didn't see her, Rick, Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Would anybody want to harm her in any way? Would
be a reason to grab her and hold of her price.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
That's what I want you to find out.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Rick Daryl threw Glory Elaine's address at me and slammed
out the door. I waited a few minutes and beat
it down the street myself.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Are you.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
You know it's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Grange, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
I'm ruby.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Now that we know each other, so well, see you later.
They wait, you're not going away, You're coming along with me?
You I yeah, you're pretty brass. Heront you putting my
finger on a man in broad daylight?
Speaker 3 (10:11):
This is no finger. Man wants to see you. I'm
here to see that he does.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
This man as you say, he doesn't know where my
office is if youure, but he don't want to go there.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
He wants you at his place. He likes to stay
out of sight from.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
The looks of his helper. Must live down a hole
in some place.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Cracks going hard mean none. I'll kick going, but I'll
crack you kid willed.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Well well Worlds seventy nine club.
Speaker 3 (10:52):

I will meet on.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
A different seconds.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Then shut up.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
You make me tired, and vice versa.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Go on, walk inside, now, what is there a flaw
show this time of day? Down this hall, this door
(11:36):
right here, walk in and meet the bus, and I
hunt you to be something like this Jerry Reagan himself.
Speaker 8 (11:46):
I have a cheer Greener.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I'd love to take a chair and break it over
this gorilla's head closed the door. He'll be sure you
always send you a strong man to bring people to
the seventy nine Club. At least it's a novel way
to attract trade.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Granger, got a job for you, No.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Thanks, I'm not interested in any of your projects. I
want to live a while. This is legitimate, Grainger. Goodbye.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
You ain't going any place.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Stand still, I'll be brief, Granger.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
Last night you met a woman named Gloria Lane at
the rendezvous.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
She disappeared. What's your interest, Reagan.
Speaker 8 (12:26):
He's the most beautiful woman in the world. Oh you see,
I can't send the boys to look for her. They
don't have any finesse. Dear me, you say, it turns
out that I'm going to marry this.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Thing you too?
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Ramonk now?
Speaker 8 (12:41):
I said, you are certainly end get the license to
prove it. I get started looking for miss Lane. There's
a home address in New York.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Thanks, Cherry, But do you think I can do the job.
Speaker 8 (12:53):
You're the best bloodhound in New York. Oh, just to
see that you stick to your work.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Herbie here, go along. I don't need him. Let him
stay here.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
I think you do. Granger.
Speaker 8 (13:07):
Also, if you should slip up, he's good orders to
bring you back here. And if that happens, it won't be.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
So good for you.
Speaker 8 (13:15):
You see, Herbie takes a real pride in his work,
don't you, Herby?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, Herbie turned a smile on me that resembled the
expression on a wolf's face as he sneaks up on
a rabbit. I didn't need three guesses as to what
would happen if I didn't come up with Miss Gloria Lane,
the girl I wanted to get married twice. In just
(13:45):
a minute, I'll bring you the climax of the case,
and that Jerry Riggins seventy nine club with us outsize guerrilla.
Herby right on my heels. Finding Gloria Lane was beginning
to mean more than solving another case. It meant staying
(14:06):
comfortably in one piece as well. A first port of
call was the marriage license ureau, where I had a friend,
Well Granger, thinking to get married. No, if I need
some information, who's your palum?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
What's the matter with his face?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
His name is Herbie. His face got that way when
his mother parked him for a week in a deep freeze. Alorry,
here's what I want tell me. If your office issued
a marriage license to a woman named Gloria Lane and
a man named Jerry Reagan, I don't know, but step
in and have a look.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
Right here we are, Layne Wayne. Here you are Gloria Lane.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Three to six seven East ninety first Street and Jerry Reagan.
I want you to look up one more license if
it's recorded. Who's this one for? Rick Darryl Daryl?
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Eh, that's the matter.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Here we are Rick Daryl and Gloria Lane. Thanks boyt.
Is this the same Gloria Lane? Yep? And this dog
doesn't know that polygamy has been outloud for years. She's
going to be in trouble. I oh see you, little Larry. Yeah,
but I wanted to wait, where are you going? How
to look for Gloria Lane. Brother what is this name?
Got herbie the hood and I left the Hall of
(15:24):
Records and proceeded along the car door. When we got
out into the street, I had my chance to get
rid of him. A quick push, a dive into a
cruising cab, and I was on my way to Gloria
Lane's address. Landlady told me she had left, but she
also told me that Gloria Lane had a girlfriend named
Ella Murray who lived on the West Side. When I
(15:45):
got to the Murray girl's address, I got on my way.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Wow, hello, I am what do you mind?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I don't want to talk about uh Gloria Lane. I'm
a friend. Oh you have a new one. Oh no, no, no,
I'm an old one. Of course. I'm not uh Rick
Darryl Nor am I Jerry Reagan? I can see that.
By the way, I was just over at Gloria's place.
She doesn't seem to be around.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
No, she's sort of tied up. So what's the routine? Mister?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
May I come in?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Tell her? Murray? After a little coaxing, started chatting about
Gloria Lane. Some of these things were startling, some not.
She also mentioned the Lane girl but God was small
upstate New York town to recover from her injuries.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
She acted like she was terribly frightened about something.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Hm, I think I'll drive up to this town and
see her pretty late in the day to do that,
isn't there? This might be important Just a.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Minute, mister, You're not after to do her any harm.
I'd hate to think I.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Put it on a spot. Oh, I wouldn't do any harm.
Matter of fact, I'm beginning to think I can do
it some good. I'm glad to hear that. I see
you later, Ella. It's been fun. I'd like to see
you later. Maybe it will. Lam Murray headed over the
(17:21):
exact address of Gloria Lane's place in the Spartan. I
got downtown, rned a car and started the drive up state. Granger, Yeah,
Granger inside, baby, how'd you find out where I was?
(17:43):
Your girlfriend told me get your coach. You're going back
to New York me. Why, there's some money in this
for me, baby, and I'm going to collect it. Cranger.
You can't go back to the city now. I know
what they'll do, and I hope what happens. I never
did like chiselers, so we will even wait for you
to get your coat. Come on, please let me fix
my face.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
I'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I listened for the sounds of the back door closing
because I didn't believe a word. Glory Elaine said. I
never heard the door, but I did hear something else.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Here's what I need.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Put down that phone, baby, all right? Will who was that?
Did you say I was here? I won't tell so
you did. Come on, we'll drive back to New York
without your face if you won't need it anyway, you
listen to.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Me, I can't go back there. I'll pay you pray
if you'll let.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Me go so I can't. It's not him, baby, it's they,
and I would miss this meeting for the world.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Stranger, won't you listen to reason? Please let me off
any place alone? He all won't?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
You'll walk we get into the city. I'll be quiet, Granger.
I could do you a lot of good if you
pay my way your way. I'd buy me a nice
cold slab in the morgue.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
But I've got money, a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Just would get it.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Baby, Cranger, you're not being there.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I hired you first, got two men after me. I'd
rather not have his enemies.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
You are smart.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
You could get around them. If they paid you to
find me, you could say you didn't find Thanks for
a mining that. I double cross clients, even those I
don't want around. Stranger, there's another car coming up first,
Stop jittering. What did you tell the man you were
talking to that I was up here? Did you know? Duck?
(19:36):
He's running us off the road? When I opened my
eyes again, it was a face leering down at me.
Not a very nice face. And to belong to the
headwaiter leetti. I was still in my own car, but
(19:56):
my hands were tired. Well, so you come to Yeah,
but you're helpless. Where's Laurier Lane?
Speaker 6 (20:05):
In my car which is not so damaged it can't
be driven?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
You're taking you? I am okay, goodbye and good luck.
Because Jerry Reagan and Rick Darryl don't like the story
I'm gonna tell him.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
You won't telling a story, Granger, you won't be able
to and being cool?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Is that it? That's right? Most unfortunate and got in
like this.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
I start the car like this, you wind up in
that ravine at the speed I can jump.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Okay, buddy, how do you feel?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Who lucky? You want to I'm Steve Granger, private eye
from New Yorker.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
I ain't you what happened?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Has run off the road deliberately? Do you see another
car leaving here? I?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Sorry, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Who Maybe you'd better explain exactly what do happen. I
made a concise report to the state police trooper, got
his permission to leave and flag down a ride into
the nearest small town. From there, a train took me
to Manhattan. A few minutes later, I was at cal
Hendry's place. Hey, Steve, you look like you've been in
the war. Never mind that car. I'm in a spot.
I was supposed to find a certain woman. She's been
(21:36):
pulling two guys into thinking.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
She was gonna marry him.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Oh gag. She works with a confederate. His name is POLLETTI.
I had the woman in a car coming down from Spartan.
He took it away from me. I'm in a spot
because of the two men a on the truth. They
happened to be Rick Darrell and Jerry Reagan. Ah cute
perl hulm. Care I gotta find that girl or my
name will be embossed on a tombstone. Oh is she?
Her name is Gloria Lane, ah just from his late
(22:01):
edition of the paper.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Take a look.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Stee troopers found the body of a young woman identified
as Gloria Lane three two six seventies ninety first Street
in New York, lying in the covid Off Highway nine
an hour ago. She'd been killed with a knife. Brother,
I'm in trouble. Unless I move past.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
You're not moving anywhere.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Both of you standstill. Cal Let me introduce you.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
I know him Rick Darrell, and I know you Hendrix.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
That's how I figured where Granger might be. Granger, we
were going for a walk.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
You double cross, so you don't know what you're talking about.
You know, Gloria Lane. That's what I know. If you'll
check State Police headquarters, you'll find out I was involved
in a car accident. Couldn't possibly have killed it. I
don't believe you. If we can locate a certain man,
I can prove. But Gloria Lane was not only chiseling you,
but one other man. What want to take a chance.
If we hurry, we can grab him.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
All right, just this once, Granger, and you.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Better be right. It took a few minutes to check
Pelleti's address in the phone book, I didn't tip Daryl
because I wanted to make use of the surprise element.
When I found what I wanted, we got on our way.
Why are you trying to pull Granger? This is where Paletti,
(23:20):
my head waiter, lives. I didn't know it. Say how long
had Paletti worked for you?
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Five months?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
How long had you known Gloria Lane?
Speaker 8 (23:30):
What?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Five months?
Speaker 6 (23:33):
That's what I thought, Yeah, Craiger, Okay, get him up.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Well, Palati, I see your pank. Lotty is this Granger?
Pluddy and Gloria Lane were partners. The girlfriend Ala Murray
told me that. She also told me that they'd worked
this marriage rack at a lot of cities, lying it
was a simple routine. Gloria was good looking. Plotty had
find a man with doll This guy would fall for
him at the proposal of marriage. Then Gloria would need money.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Guys, stay, I'm leaving.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
There's more pality and I want Daryl to hear it.
This time they played it two ways. They not only
got you on THO, but they corralled Jerry Reagan over
and Jerry's Reagan. When Pleddy found out she double cracked
him out of the money, he killed her.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
Okay, keep those hands in the air.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Why you dry?
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Don't move Daryl one more step and I shoot.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
All right, go ahead, Well, friends, that's the story. I'll
be back to wrap up the case in just a minute. Oh.
(24:45):
I had a hand it to Rick Daryl for nerve.
He walks straight forward, Paletti, I die for the headwaiter's
arm and the shot went wide. Plati went to jail
on a charge of murder. Lada Jerry Reagan, Rick Darroll,
glorious girlfriend Dela Marae and I had a date.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Gee, I like this play.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
It's fine, you know, Grange, You've done a good job.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Me and Rick Kere we never liked each other. Oh,
but now we've got have buried the hatch.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Eh.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Herbie checked the marriage License Bureau later.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I like, you told me too, John, know you're telling
the truth. Herby did that. Didn't think he can read?
He is a graduate. He went to school get out
of the eighth grade when he was sixteen.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
On the third settle.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
You know one thing I don't get. Why did Gloria
try to hire you. I think she was gonna hang
something on plenty and let me find out about it
where she could get rid of him. Oh, I get
it well, grangeer Ran, here's a little piece of money
from me and a little change for me too. Lay well,
Oh that's okay. Jenny and I got back most of
the door Gloria took us for Jeanie could Grangey, you
certainly did a good job.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Hello. When I go out and spend a little of
this money with me, I'd like to, but I got
a gop with Week tonight and mclee the next night.
Oh what does that leave me? Or I don't tell me?
The only date I get is the one in the
fruitcake see Ranger again. You've just heard the most interesting
cases in my files, and I'll have another one for you,
(26:04):
so be around next time. Welcome back.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
A solid mystery with a lot of double crosses for
our hero to unravel and become involved in as well.
And I'm not The end kind of felt like the
way a Falcon episode would end, although the Falcon rarely
had more than one person conversing with him in the
final scene. Of course, a horrible pun at the end,
(26:37):
but that's to me expected. Listener comments and feedback now,
and we have a comment regarding the final Charlie Chan
episode and Mechanic sixty six rites. I've heard hundreds of
Australian actors and actresses who could do a perfect American accent,
even regional accents. Apparently they just didn't care when they
(27:00):
made this show. I think it definitely was a matter
of the times with the accents on a lot of
these Australian shows. And again, you could hear pretty much
the same sort of thing if you were listening to
other accents in the way they were portrayed on American
(27:21):
and British radio. And to be clear, not every American
accent on Australian radio is bad, but a lot of
them are. And I don't know if it's fair, but
I tend to assume the ones that are decent are
from actors who are American expats or Canadian expats who
are very capable at doing believable American accents for the
(27:44):
most part. All right, well, now I want to thank
our Patreon supporter of the day. I want to thank Marla,

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Just quay a smart Gloria, and nothing will happen. Is
that I'm going to get you and get you good.
Listen Steve Granger, private detective with a story about a
girl who decided to get married and tried so hard
that it nearly killed me. Just a moment, I'll take
(02:59):
you back to one of my most interesting cases. This
is Granger, and in my head I have a note
which reads meet me at the Rendezvous Room at ten tonight.
I'll be in the bar wearing a pink dress signed
(03:20):
Gloria Lane. This is ten o'clock and this is the
Rendezvous Room, one of the smarter Manhattan supper clubs. Go
to the brim with customer just itching a part with
a ten dollar bill. Not knowing what Gloria Lane looked like,
I leaned up against the bar and waited for the
(03:40):
melopments big dress. Here, it's Steve Granger and you're Clia Lane.
Glad to meet you, Miss Lane, I'm glad to meet you.
Want to talk here? Shall we find a spot a
little more secluded.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
I think we should get out of here.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Let's go.
Speaker 7 (04:03):
Well, well it isn't the demon detective ah ain't Granger?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Pretty good?
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Rick?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Miss Lane? You know uh Rick Darrell, the owner of
Runne Bull.
Speaker 7 (04:12):
Oh, Gloria, I didn't realize it was you Ai.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
I'm fine, Rick, I can assume that.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
You do tap me. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (04:20):
Many times Grangers go here?
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Why are you?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Were a private investigator?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Business?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Hardly?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Granger and I are all friends.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
We were just leaving your pardon and there's a telephone
call for miss Lane.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I'm sorry, I haven't time took on a phone right now.
We were just leaving.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
I must beg miss Lane's pardonment again. This is a
most important call long distance. The operator said, very well,
will you waite, Granger, I'd be delighted.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I will show you the phone.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Miss Lane. I'll find it myself. I waited ten minutes
and twenty Miss Lane didn't show up. I wanted out
to the line of telephone booths in the lobby of
the Rendezvous and found no Glory Lane. We cornered the
head waiter who paged her. Yes, mister Granger, what happened
(05:09):
was Lane? She hasn't returned. I don't see her any
of the phone booths. Eh. She had a long distance closer.
I don't know what it said, but she left here
very abruptly. She left no message for me, none whatsoever,
mister Granger. You know where she could have gone?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Where she lives?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Hardly, mister Granger.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I'm just the head waiter.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Thanks.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I moved down the.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Street, wondering what this was all about. A look in
Gloria Lane's eyes when the headway to page her indicated fear.
But why disappear? Or had Choloody lied and had someone
forced her to accompany them? I stopped for a second,
debating what to do. Then I heard it. This was
(05:56):
someone in pain, someone down the alley way just to
my right. She was lying alongside the wall of the building.
And she was my recent friend, Gloria Lane. Get me
har sure, Gloria's sure?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Man?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
This is Granger? Where do you live? Right? Come on, baby,
come on, wake up, and he's better carry into I
Rendez wouldn't call a doctor. Listen, follow long row, real desk.
All right, So you got again and this guy has
(06:35):
been badly beaten and she needs a doctor.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
Just mind your own business. This time will be taken
on cal I I understand.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Now gone movements. I don't think so. You you haven't
gotten nerve enough to shoot. This is a blind alley.
There'll be four cops on your back before you made
a street. Oh what, guy know? It's so wise that
I'm taking this girl out of here. Okay, pick her up.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I'll continue with this interesting story in a minute. As
I went over to pick up the limb body of
Gloria Lane, a man behind me with a gun made
me a present of it right on the top of
the head. But I came to I stirred around, brushed
off my clothes, and got on my feet. The alley
(07:29):
was deserted, no Gloria Lane and no sign of the
guy who knocked me out. I looked around for a
door and found it the back entrance to the rendezvous.
I moved through the kitchen into the main room of
the club, and I asked questions. Rick Daryl wasn't around. Hilletti,
the head waiter, wasn't around. No one had seen Gloria Lane.
(07:52):
I took myself home, went to bed, hoping to forget
the whole thing. In the morning, I went to my office,
sat down, read the newspapers, nobody had reported anything.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Granger.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I want to talk to you, Hi, Rickly for night
spot operator to be around, isn't it.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
I want to ask you some questions, Granger. Oh, like
what why were you with Gloria Lane last night? I
think that's my business, although it should be obvious. She's
a very attractive woman.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Did you take her home? Nope? Hmm, what's wrong? Rick?
I've got a chore for you.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
Find Gloria Lane for me? Why personal reasons. I'll pay
you one hundred dollars and give you twenty four hours
in which to do it.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
It's a large order. Got the ideas a few That's
why are you so anxious to find Gloria Lane.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
She promised to marry me two weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Oh.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
I don't like people who break promises. Can't believe me
and that goes for you too. If I find out
that you saw Glory after she left the rendezvous, you'll
answer to me.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
If you're going to be tough about this, find another
boy to run the errands. Yeah, I guess you're right.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Okay, you didn't see her, Rick, Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Would anybody want to harm her in any way? Would
be a reason to grab her and hold of her price.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
That's what I want you to find out.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Rick Daryl threw Glory Elaine's address at me and slammed
out the door. I waited a few minutes and beat
it down the street myself.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Are you.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
You know it's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Grange, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
I'm ruby.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Now that we know each other, so well, see you later.
They wait, you're not going away, You're coming along with me?
You I yeah, you're pretty brass. Heront you putting my
finger on a man in broad daylight?
Speaker 3 (10:11):
This is no finger. Man wants to see you. I'm
here to see that he does.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
This man as you say, he doesn't know where my
office is if youure, but he don't want to go there.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
He wants you at his place. He likes to stay
out of sight from.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
The looks of his helper. Must live down a hole
in some place.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Cracks going hard mean none. I'll kick going, but I'll
crack you kid willed.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Well well Worlds seventy nine club.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
This is it.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
You're not gringing. I do to do a little gambling.
Is that it good?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Moving? Have a choice? Don't be scared, little man. Nobody's
going to hurt you call.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Me little man. Here I said, one day you and
I will meet on.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
A different seconds.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Then shut up.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
You make me tired, and vice versa.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Go on, walk inside, now, what is there a flaw
show this time of day? Down this hall, this door
(11:36):
right here, walk in and meet the bus, and I
hunt you to be something like this Jerry Reagan himself.
Speaker 8 (11:46):
I have a cheer Greener.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I'd love to take a chair and break it over
this gorilla's head closed the door. He'll be sure you
always send you a strong man to bring people to
the seventy nine Club. At least it's a novel way
to attract trade.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Granger, got a job for you, No.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Thanks, I'm not interested in any of your projects. I
want to live a while. This is legitimate, Grainger. Goodbye.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
You ain't going any place.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Stand still, I'll be brief, Granger.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
Last night you met a woman named Gloria Lane at
the rendezvous.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
She disappeared. What's your interest, Reagan.
Speaker 8 (12:26):
He's the most beautiful woman in the world. Oh you see,
I can't send the boys to look for her. They
don't have any finesse. Dear me, you say, it turns
out that I'm going to marry this.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Thing you too?
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Ramonk now?
Speaker 8 (12:41):
I said, you are certainly end get the license to
prove it. I get started looking for miss Lane. There's
a home address in New York.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Thanks, Cherry, But do you think I can do the job.
Speaker 8 (12:53):
You're the best bloodhound in New York. Oh, just to
see that you stick to your work.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Herbie here, go along. I don't need him. Let him
stay here.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
I think you do. Granger.
Speaker 8 (13:07):
Also, if you should slip up, he's good orders to
bring you back here. And if that happens, it won't be.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
So good for you.
Speaker 8 (13:15):
You see, Herbie takes a real pride in his work,
don't you, Herby?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, Herbie turned a smile on me that resembled the
expression on a wolf's face as he sneaks up on
a rabbit. I didn't need three guesses as to what
would happen if I didn't come up with Miss Gloria Lane,
the girl I wanted to get married twice. In just
(13:45):
a minute, I'll bring you the climax of the case,
and that Jerry Riggins seventy nine club with us outsize guerrilla.
Herby right on my heels. Finding Gloria Lane was beginning
to mean more than solving another case. It meant staying
(14:06):
comfortably in one piece as well. A first port of
call was the marriage license ureau, where I had a friend,
Well Granger, thinking to get married. No, if I need
some information, who's your palum?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
What's the matter with his face?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
His name is Herbie. His face got that way when
his mother parked him for a week in a deep freeze. Alorry,
here's what I want tell me. If your office issued
a marriage license to a woman named Gloria Lane and
a man named Jerry Reagan, I don't know, but step
in and have a look.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
Right here we are, Layne Wayne. Here you are Gloria Lane.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Three to six seven East ninety first Street and Jerry Reagan.
I want you to look up one more license if
it's recorded. Who's this one for? Rick Darryl Daryl?
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Eh, that's the matter.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Here we are Rick Daryl and Gloria Lane. Thanks boyt.
Is this the same Gloria Lane? Yep? And this dog
doesn't know that polygamy has been outloud for years. She's
going to be in trouble. I oh see you, little Larry. Yeah,
but I wanted to wait, where are you going? How
to look for Gloria Lane. Brother what is this name?
Got herbie the hood and I left the Hall of
(15:24):
Records and proceeded along the car door. When we got
out into the street, I had my chance to get
rid of him. A quick push, a dive into a
cruising cab, and I was on my way to Gloria
Lane's address. Landlady told me she had left, but she
also told me that Gloria Lane had a girlfriend named
Ella Murray who lived on the West Side. When I
(15:45):
got to the Murray girl's address, I got on my way.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Wow, hello, I am what do you mind?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I don't want to talk about uh Gloria Lane. I'm
a friend. Oh you have a new one. Oh no, no, no,
I'm an old one. Of course. I'm not uh Rick
Darryl Nor am I Jerry Reagan? I can see that.
By the way, I was just over at Gloria's place.
She doesn't seem to be around.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
No, she's sort of tied up. So what's the routine? Mister?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
May I come in?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Tell her? Murray? After a little coaxing, started chatting about
Gloria Lane. Some of these things were startling, some not.
She also mentioned the Lane girl but God was small
upstate New York town to recover from her injuries.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
She acted like she was terribly frightened about something.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Hm, I think I'll drive up to this town and
see her pretty late in the day to do that,
isn't there? This might be important Just a.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Minute, mister, You're not after to do her any harm.
I'd hate to think I.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Put it on a spot. Oh, I wouldn't do any harm.
Matter of fact, I'm beginning to think I can do
it some good. I'm glad to hear that. I see
you later, Ella. It's been fun. I'd like to see
you later. Maybe it will. Lam Murray headed over the
(17:21):
exact address of Gloria Lane's place in the Spartan. I
got downtown, rned a car and started the drive up state. Granger, Yeah,
Granger inside, baby, how'd you find out where I was?
(17:43):
Your girlfriend told me get your coach. You're going back
to New York me. Why, there's some money in this
for me, baby, and I'm going to collect it. Cranger.
You can't go back to the city now. I know
what they'll do, and I hope what happens. I never
did like chiselers, so we will even wait for you
to get your coat. Come on, please let me fix
my face.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
I'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I listened for the sounds of the back door closing
because I didn't believe a word. Glory Elaine said. I
never heard the door, but I did hear something else.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Here's what I need.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Put down that phone, baby, all right? Will who was that?
Did you say I was here? I won't tell so
you did. Come on, we'll drive back to New York
without your face if you won't need it anyway, you
listen to.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Me, I can't go back there. I'll pay you pray
if you'll let.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Me go so I can't. It's not him, baby, it's they,
and I would miss this meeting for the world.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Stranger, won't you listen to reason? Please let me off
any place alone? He all won't?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
You'll walk we get into the city. I'll be quiet, Granger.
I could do you a lot of good if you
pay my way your way. I'd buy me a nice
cold slab in the morgue.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
But I've got money, a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Just would get it.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Baby, Cranger, you're not being there.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I hired you first, got two men after me. I'd
rather not have his enemies.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
You are smart.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
You could get around them. If they paid you to
find me, you could say you didn't find Thanks for
a mining that. I double cross clients, even those I
don't want around. Stranger, there's another car coming up first,
Stop jittering. What did you tell the man you were
talking to that I was up here? Did you know? Duck?
(19:36):
He's running us off the road? When I opened my
eyes again, it was a face leering down at me.
Not a very nice face. And to belong to the
headwaiter leetti. I was still in my own car, but
(19:56):
my hands were tired. Well, so you come to Yeah,
but you're helpless. Where's Laurier Lane?
Speaker 6 (20:05):
In my car which is not so damaged it can't
be driven?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
You're taking you? I am okay, goodbye and good luck.
Because Jerry Reagan and Rick Darryl don't like the story
I'm gonna tell him.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
You won't telling a story, Granger, you won't be able
to and being cool?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Is that it? That's right? Most unfortunate and got in
like this.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
I start the car like this, you wind up in
that ravine at the speed I can jump.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Okay, buddy, how do you feel?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Who lucky? You want to I'm Steve Granger, private eye
from New Yorker.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
I ain't you what happened?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Has run off the road deliberately? Do you see another
car leaving here? I?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Sorry, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Who Maybe you'd better explain exactly what do happen. I
made a concise report to the state police trooper, got
his permission to leave and flag down a ride into
the nearest small town. From there, a train took me
to Manhattan. A few minutes later, I was at cal
Hendry's place. Hey, Steve, you look like you've been in
the war. Never mind that car. I'm in a spot.
I was supposed to find a certain woman. She's been
(21:36):
pulling two guys into thinking.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
She was gonna marry him.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Oh gag. She works with a confederate. His name is POLLETTI.
I had the woman in a car coming down from Spartan.
He took it away from me. I'm in a spot
because of the two men a on the truth. They
happened to be Rick Darrell and Jerry Reagan. Ah cute
perl hulm. Care I gotta find that girl or my
name will be embossed on a tombstone. Oh is she?
Her name is Gloria Lane, ah just from his late
(22:01):
edition of the paper.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Take a look.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Stee troopers found the body of a young woman identified
as Gloria Lane three two six seventies ninety first Street
in New York, lying in the covid Off Highway nine
an hour ago. She'd been killed with a knife. Brother,
I'm in trouble. Unless I move past.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
You're not moving anywhere.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Both of you standstill. Cal Let me introduce you.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
I know him Rick Darrell, and I know you Hendrix.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
That's how I figured where Granger might be. Granger, we
were going for a walk.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
You double cross, so you don't know what you're talking about.
You know, Gloria Lane. That's what I know. If you'll
check State Police headquarters, you'll find out I was involved
in a car accident. Couldn't possibly have killed it. I
don't believe you. If we can locate a certain man,
I can prove. But Gloria Lane was not only chiseling you,
but one other man. What want to take a chance.
If we hurry, we can grab him.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
All right, just this once, Granger, and you.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Better be right. It took a few minutes to check
Pelleti's address in the phone book, I didn't tip Daryl
because I wanted to make use of the surprise element.
When I found what I wanted, we got on our way.
Why are you trying to pull Granger? This is where Paletti,
(23:20):
my head waiter, lives. I didn't know it. Say how long
had Paletti worked for you?
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Five months?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
How long had you known Gloria Lane?
Speaker 8 (23:30):
What?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Five months?
Speaker 6 (23:33):
That's what I thought, Yeah, Craiger, Okay, get him up.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Well, Palati, I see your pank. Lotty is this Granger?
Pluddy and Gloria Lane were partners. The girlfriend Ala Murray
told me that. She also told me that they'd worked
this marriage rack at a lot of cities, lying it
was a simple routine. Gloria was good looking. Plotty had
find a man with doll This guy would fall for
him at the proposal of marriage. Then Gloria would need money.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Guys, stay, I'm leaving.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
There's more pality and I want Daryl to hear it.
This time they played it two ways. They not only
got you on THO, but they corralled Jerry Reagan over
and Jerry's Reagan. When Pleddy found out she double cracked
him out of the money, he killed her.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
Okay, keep those hands in the air.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Why you dry?
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Don't move Daryl one more step and I shoot.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
All right, go ahead, Well, friends, that's the story. I'll
be back to wrap up the case in just a minute. Oh.
(24:45):
I had a hand it to Rick Daryl for nerve.
He walks straight forward, Paletti, I die for the headwaiter's
arm and the shot went wide. Plati went to jail
on a charge of murder. Lada Jerry Reagan, Rick Darroll,
glorious girlfriend Dela Marae and I had a date.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Gee, I like this play.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
It's fine, you know, Grange, You've done a good job.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Me and Rick Kere we never liked each other. Oh,
but now we've got have buried the hatch.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Eh.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Herbie checked the marriage License Bureau later.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I like, you told me too, John, know you're telling
the truth. Herby did that. Didn't think he can read?
He is a graduate. He went to school get out
of the eighth grade when he was sixteen.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
On the third settle.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
You know one thing I don't get. Why did Gloria
try to hire you. I think she was gonna hang
something on plenty and let me find out about it
where she could get rid of him. Oh, I get
it well, grangeer Ran, here's a little piece of money
from me and a little change for me too. Lay well,
Oh that's okay. Jenny and I got back most of
the door Gloria took us for Jeanie could Grangey, you
certainly did a good job.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Hello. When I go out and spend a little of
this money with me, I'd like to, but I got
a gop with Week tonight and mclee the next night.
Oh what does that leave me? Or I don't tell me?
The only date I get is the one in the
fruitcake see Ranger again. You've just heard the most interesting
cases in my files, and I'll have another one for you,
(26:04):
so be around next time. Welcome back.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
A solid mystery with a lot of double crosses for
our hero to unravel and become involved in as well.
And I'm not The end kind of felt like the
way a Falcon episode would end, although the Falcon rarely
had more than one person conversing with him in the
final scene. Of course, a horrible pun at the end,
(26:37):
but that's to me expected. Listener comments and feedback now,
and we have a comment regarding the final Charlie Chan
episode and Mechanic sixty six rites. I've heard hundreds of
Australian actors and actresses who could do a perfect American accent,
even regional accents. Apparently they just didn't care when they
(27:00):
made this show. I think it definitely was a matter
of the times with the accents on a lot of
these Australian shows. And again, you could hear pretty much
the same sort of thing if you were listening to
other accents in the way they were portrayed on American
(27:21):
and British radio. And to be clear, not every American
accent on Australian radio is bad, but a lot of
them are. And I don't know if it's fair, but
I tend to assume the ones that are decent are
from actors who are American expats or Canadian expats who
are very capable at doing believable American accents for the
(27:44):
most part. All right, well, now I want to thank
our Patreon supporter of the day. I want to thank Marla,

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
