Sam Shovel – Dust Be My Destiny, The Abbott and Costello Radio Show, Broadcast: May 19, 1949

Dust Be My Destiny – Lou Costello performs a parody as detective Sam Shovel, the private detective. The skit is filled with silly scenarios, the case of the lady blue beard, a pun about too many crooks spoil the broth, a lady who needs Sam to come to her rescue — and the “hold up your hands” routine!
