Crime doesn\\u2019t take a rest during the holidays. Fortunately, radio\\u2019s best gumshoes are working on Christmas to keep the airwaves safe. In the annual \\u201cDown These Mean Streets\\u201d holiday special, we\\u2019ll hear four gumshoes and super sleuths in Christmas capers. First, Les Damon is private eye Mike Waring, aka The Falcon, in \\u201cThe Case of the Unwelcome Christmas Present\\u201d (originally aired on NBC on December 24, 1950). Next, it\\u2019s \\u201cthat most famous of all manhunters\\u201d \\u2013 Nick Carter, Master Detective. Lon Clark is Nick in \\u201cNick Carter\\u2019s Christmas Adventure\\u201d (originally aired on Mutual on December 25, 1943). Then, we have a Saint \\u2013 not Nicholas, but Simon Templar. Vincent Price stars in "Santa Claus is No Saint" (originally aired on NBC on December 24, 1950).
