Classic Radio 02-04-25 - Skeleton Bay, Tongalani, and Murder is Legal


Listen Later

A Dramatic Wednesday

First a look at the events of the day

Then Inner Sanctum Mysteries, originally broadcast February 5, 1946, 79 years ago, Skeleton Bay starring Betty Lou Gerson. A mystery writer witnesses a murder. The killer sees the witness, who surprisingly offers to help the killer dispose of the body! 

Followed by Let George Do It starring Bob Bailey and Virginia Gregg, originally broadcast February 5, 1951, 74 years ago, Tongalani. The story title means "shaped liked like a heart," or is it a character in a book, or a real woman? Just what is a tongalani? A meek little man gets the courage to find out.

Then The Whistler, originally broadcast February 5, 1945, 80 years ago, Murder is Legal.   A lawyer gets his client acquitted, even though he's in love with the client's wife. After a murder, a contract of death is agreed to. A framer is framed for a murder he actually committed. 

Followed by Gang Busters, originally broadcast February 5, 1955, 70 years ago, The Case of the Lost Gun. A laundryman named Floreid Scearce is involved in a February, 1954 bank robbery in Danville, Virginia. 

Finally, Lum and Abner, originally broadcast February 5, 1942, 83 years ago, Diogenes has announced that he's going to award $10,000 to the truly honest man in town.
