Prodigal Panda Caper, The
Broadcast: 29th December 1950
Added: Jan 05 2004
When Sam Spade arrived back at his office he was surprised to discover a small boy sound asleep in a chair in the corner. He’d been to the police who suggested he go see Spade. The thing was he’d bought a panda bear for his 5year-old brother and a man in a checked coat and a lady in a red silk dress stole it from him at gunpoint. It seemed like the kid read too many comic stories but then Sam Spade ended up in what he called “the prodigal panda caper”.
