About this episode
The same day Larry Fielding inexplicably loses his job as a reporter, he agrees to accompany a stranger to Paris in pursuit of Nazi-looted jewels. Once there, he becomes part of a dangerous intelligence plot, where no one's identity is certain — not even that of the alluring Carol Johnson. She claims to be a Sorbonne student, but might be a double agent working for the Russians — or perhaps the Americans. As Larry navigates this unfamiliar terrain, only one thing is certain: the food in Paris is good.About If You Please, Himan Brown’s Radio Mystery Theater
