Originally Aired: July 19, 1945

In Suspense #150, “Bank Holiday,” junior bank teller Jane Evans thinks the biggest challenge to her engagement with assistant manager Harold Osborne is the bank’s no-romance policy—until a routine Friday morning turns into a harrowing ordeal. When two armed robbers burst in and take her hostage, Jane is plunged into a day of blindfolded getaways, desert chases, and tense standoffs in a remote mountain cabin. As danger closes in, she learns that loyalty can take many forms—and that the difference between the “right guy” and the “wrong guy” isn’t always what it seems. A taut crime drama blending romance, moral choices, and unrelenting suspense.
