Let George Do It, Vol. 1: The Classic Radio Collection

The detective series Let George Do It came to radio in 1946. It starred Bob Bailey as George Valentine, ex-GI and detective for hire. Clients came to Valentine's office after reading a newspaper carrying his classified ad:

Valentine's secretary was Claire Brooks, aka Brooksie. Other regulars included Brooksie's kid brother, Sonny; George's nemesis on the police force, Lieutenant Riley; and the elevator operator and handyman in George's apartment building, Caleb.

Casts came from radio's top tier of actors, including William Conrad, John Dehner, Lurene Tuttle, Harry Bartell, and Hans Conreid, to name a few. Don Clark directed scripts by David Victor and Jackson Gillis. Sponsored by Standard Oil, Let George Do It was last heard in 1955.

The 12 exciting episodes in this collection aired in 1948 and 1949: "The Body in the Closet", "The Penthouse", "The Pack of Boys", "The Tunnel", "The Island in the Lake", "Have Some Excitement", "The Bodyguard", "The Unfit Mother", "One Against the City", "Destination Dead End", "The Roundabout Murder", and "The Motive is Murder".
