The Whistler | Old Time Radio

Show Notes

The Whistler presents “Partners in Crime,” originally broadcast October 14, 1951. This is episode 489 of the CBS Pacific network suspense series, sponsored by Signal Oil and written by Adrian Gendot.

Two criminal partners find themselves drawn into a murder mystery involving a valuable dagger identified as having belonged to Louis XIV. As the weapon’s dangerous value raises the stakes, their partnership comes under increasing strain. The story reuses a script first heard on The Whistler in 1943.

Old Time Retro Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned and mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
