For gamblers, burlesque queens, murderers and innocents, comedy and tragedy were found in equal measure on the streets of Damon Runyon's Manhattan. Runyon, one of the most popular and widely-read figures of the Golden Age of the American Short Story, found his work was cut to measure for success in the most verbal medium of all: radio drama. John Brown stars as the glib Broadway, whose scene-setting brings a distinctive unifying touch to these fourteen digitally remastered episodes of the classic Damon Runyon Theatre radio series.

Further complicating matters is the arrival of two new superheroes calling themselves the Legion of Liberty. Filling the void left vacant by the Newton Force, it doesn't take long for the Legion of Liberty to win the public over.

Meticulous private investigator Stanley Melvin likes to keep his work grounded in reality, not at all like the classic detective novels he has read incessantly since childhood.

Stanley isn't too sure how he feels about this. But as a professional, he forges ahead, despite getting out of his comfort zone.

The life of Aaron Tucker - freelance writer and stay-at-home dad - is anything but boring. In fact, Aaron manages to find himself in way more danger than your typical mild-mannered Jewish guy.

She (a former object of Aaron's affection) asks Aaron to find the killer.

Aaron Tucker, aspiring New Jersey screenwriter and occasional freelance journalist, puts on his sleuthing hat after a young man with Asperger's syndrome is arrested for a senseless murder.

Persisting even after a local mobster warns him off, the amateur detective uses his son to pursue the truth.
