Episode 243 - Big Easy Beat (New Adventures of Michael Shayne)

Jeff Chandler trades the biology lab for the back alleys and swamps of New Orleans as Brett Halliday’s “reckless, red-headed Irishman” Michael Shayne. Chandler, known to radio fans as bashful science teacher Philip Boynton in Our Miss Brooks, gave radio one of its toughest, most two-fisted private eyes in a sensational syndicated series. We’ll hear Chandler as Shayne in all of his ultra-hard-boiled glory in three radio mysteries: “The Hate That Killed,” “The Case of the Deadly Dough,” and “The Case of the Bayou Monster.”
