William Conrad and Charlotte Lawrence star in the second broadcast of a Larry Marcus script that is about greed. They deliver another excellent performance.
Conrad portrays a cab driver who is dominated by his unscrupulous wife. He found a wallet in the cab that had $12,000 in cash. He wants to return the money, but she demands that he keep it. He realizes that he knows who left it and when, and that it will be reported. This is Suspense, so the solution seems simple. She wants her husband to find him and kill him before he has a chance to report the loss of the wallet. Things get a bit out of control at that point.
The original broadcast starred Elliott and Cathy Lewis. Details about that broadcast, the original title of the script, the current value of the lost money, and how today’s mobile phones would change the elements of the plot are at:
