OTR Mysteries - New Adventures of Nero Wolfe

New Adventures of Nero Wolfe -  The Malevolent Medic

When Hal Horton, rich industrialist, calls on Nero Wolfe it is because he believes Dr. Benjamin Sloane murdered his wife. Since her death Horton has learned that his wife and the doctor had one time been a couple.

When Wolfe sends Archie to investigate, the evidence points to three people with a possible motive to want Mrs. Banks dead: Doctor Sloane, his nurse and fiancee Grace Banks, and Mister Horton himself.

Pretty good story. Note how many politically incorrect things (some that are even illegal) that Archie gets away with as he gathers the evidence.

Featuring: Sydney Greenstreet, Harry Bartell, Jean Bates, Vic Perrin, Bruce Payne, Bill Johnstone, Mary Lansing

Original Air Date: February 3, 1951
