"Out of Paradise" is a short story by E. W. Hornung, and features the gentleman thief A. J. Raffles, and his companion and biographer, Bunny Manders.

The story was first published in December 1904 by Collier's Weekly in New York,[1] and in January 1905 by Pall Mall Magazine in London.

[3] Bunny was once engaged to a niece to a rich politician, Hector Carruthers, who lives at Palace Gardens.

However, following his shameful descent into crime, Bunny has written to her to end the relationship, and miserably awaits her reply from where she is staying in the country.

Raffles, who has scored a century, invites Bunny to the Café Royal to celebrate.

While Bunny helps, Raffles drills the lock out of the study door.

Raffles had shaken off his chaser by ducking into a ball and leaving his coat there.

He explains that he lied about Lord Lochmaben to spare Bunny's feelings about robbing the house.

[5] The drama features Jeremy Clyde as Raffles and Michael Cochrane as Bunny.

The episode faithfully follows the plot of the original story, with minor changes: "Out of Paradise" was adapted as the fourth episode of Raffles, the Gentleman Thief, a series on the American radio show Imagination Theatre.
