The Adventures of Nero Wolf was first heard by a national audience. But again, many of the details of this second, Summer 1943 run of 13 episodes--other than its episode titles and its star, famous character actor Santos Ortega in the role of Nero Wolf--remain a mystery to this day. Indeed, we have only one representative episode of the 1944 run of The Adventures of Nero Wolf in circulation to date--and that lone episode is preserved only by its inclusion as a selection for the Armed Forces Radio Service's Mystery Playhouse series. The production run starred Santos Ortega in the role of Nero Wolf and Joseph Julian as Archie Goodwin.
