Let George Do It, Vol. 1

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:

Personal notice: Danger’s my stock-in-trade. If the job’s too tough for you to handle, you’ve got a job for me, George Valentine. Write full details.

Valentine’s secretary was Claire Brooks, a.k.a. Brooksie. Other regulars included Brooksie’s kid brother, Sonny; George’s nemesis on the police force, Lieutenant Riley; and 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.
