0. The Amateur Cracksman (Pilot) Raffles and Bunny travel to a country estate with a plan to steal a priceless necklace. They soon learn that two other thieves are also there.

1. The First Step Raffles is visited by his old school chum, Bunny Manders, who has fallen on hard times. Penniless himself, Raffles comes up with a scheme.

2. A Costume Piece Brash and crude, Reuben Rosenthall is a real "rough diamond" -- a self-made millionaire who wears his wealth in the most ostentatious way possible.

3. The Spoils of Sacrilege Bunny feels he needs to do more to justify his share of their ill-gotten gains, so the brothers in crime plan a job in which he takes the lead.

4. The Gold Cup Raffles and Bunny swipe the famous Royal Gold Cup from the British Museum, but criminologists track them down, suspecting Raffles of the theft.

5. The Chest of Silver After depositing his precious (and stolen) silverware in a bank vault, Raffles departs for Scotland sans Bunny. Inspector Mackenzie sees his chance.

6. The Last Laugh A display of jewelry at the Italian embassy proves too great a temptation for Raffles and Bunny ... and so does the chance to rescue a young maid.

7. A Trap to Catch a Cracksman Raffles relies on cunning rather than strength to take on an American boxer. The champion brags he can catch anyone who tries to steal his trophies.

8. To Catch a Thief London's other thief has Raffles worried -- the city isn't big enough for both of them. Raffles and Bunny track the man down to steal his booty.

9. A Bad Night Plans to rob a Dutch millionaire's home hit a snag when Raffles has to play cricket for England. Bunny sets to do the job himself.

10. Mr. Justice Raffles When one of his cricket friends runs afoul of a ruthless moneylender, Raffles decides to pay the man's bill ... and then some.

11. Home Affairs Raffles takes it personally when the secretary for Home Affairs threatens draconian new measures for offenses against property.

12. The Gift of the Emperor The government asks Raffles to steal a priceless black pearl belonging to the German kaiser - aided by none other than Mackenzie of the Yard.

the full text of Graham Greene’s 1975 play “The Return of A.J. Raffles” is now available for perusal on Google Docs for the 3 people that care! click the image above to read! there are probably some typoes, let me know if you see one and I’ll fix it [unless it’s a Mackenzie line because his keysmashes are canon]

this is the one where raffles/bunny are a canon couple and they meet Wilde and Bosie by the way, i would have uploaded it sooner had i not had to snap my fingers in a ‘z’ formation at the best lines

also be sure to check out the radio version of the play  »here« (if you’re a Rafflesian you should be and probably are following that blog anyway because it’s impossibly perfect)
