The Mad Scientist Caper

Original Air Date:  July 25, 1948 – Play Time: 00:28:40 – Episode 109

Raymond Fox is a mad scientist – his eyes had a wild gleam in them, his hair was a wild tangle, and he was wearing a wild assortment of clothing that looked like they’d been slept in. Inventor of the helioscope and synthesizer of hydroxylamaphotograniton, the formula for Fox’s latest and greatest invention, Penetron, has been stolen!  Grierson Enterprises submitted a patent application with identical information, and Fox’s high powered patent attorney, a legal ball of fire named Roscoe Manning, can do nothing about it.

This episode has one of my favorite lines… “I asked her to come up and listen to my Herb Jeffries record. She said my apartment needed a woman’s touch, so I handed her a broom. She hit me over the head with it and left.”

Sam takes on the case – searching for Grierson. During his investigation, Sam is locked up in a mental hospital and almost blown up… twice! Is Fox as mad as he seems? Is he blowing people up (again?) Listen and find out!

The cast includes Howard Duff as Sam, Lurene Tuttle as Effie and Joseph Kearn as Raymond Fox.
