Dane Clark stars in a “one-hit-wonder” script authored by a California high school chemistry teacher. Joseph Edward Hudock’s story outline and narrative was edited by Robert L. Richards. It was Hudock’s only broadcast radio script.
A gangster falls in love with a rich heiress and his friends concoct a scheme where he will marry her, and she will soon (if all goes according to plan) lose her life so he can inherit her wealth and split it with his supposed pals. Problems arise when he realizes he really does love her. He wants to stop the plan from being completed but has to create a scheme of his own to save her life. It won’t be easy.
Spier must have liked the script because he also used it on Philip Morris Playhouse on 1949-05-22. That also starred Dane Clark. No recording of that broadcast is available. Suspense used Hudock’s script again in 1959. CBS lost track of Hudock by that time and ended up placing an ad in Variety asking for his whereabouts so they could mail him his check!
The only available recording is an Armed Forces Radio Service one (#156). It is not possible to identify from which broadcast coast it was derived.
