This is the second production of a Shirley Gordon story adapted by Antony Ellis. Paula Winslowe plays the lead character who seeks to prevent a murder. That evil act will be hidden by the noise and crowd of a passing parade. Her good and innocent intentions to act on the information she accidentally found, however, may facilitate the crime rather than preventing it.
Gordon was a writer and editor of Radio-TV Life magazine and became a successful writer of radio and TV scripts. She later became a successful author of children’s books.
The original broadcast starred Agnes Moorehead. Details of that broadcast can be found at:
