Publisher's Synopsis

First broadcast on America's NBC network between 1932-33, Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel charted the exploits of shady lawyer Waldorf T Flywheel (played by Groucho Marx) and his dopey assistant, Emmanuel Ravelli (played by Chico Marx). The original recordings were lost, but the scripts were rediscovered in 1988, and adapted and re-recorded by BBC Radio 4 in 1990-92 in front of a live studio audience. Fast-paced and full of quickfire gags, the show proved a hit, winning a Gold Medal at the New York International Festival in 1992. Included here are all three radio series, produced by the award-winning Dirk Maggs (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) and published together for the very first time. In these eighteen episodes, the duo look after a Rembrandt, try to bamboozle a millionaire, stay in a haunted mansion and join the carnival - along with many other hilarious misadventures.
