Followed by Escape, originally broadcast February 8, 1953, 72 years ago, Jetsam starring Ben Wright.  Junius Peabody is an alcoholic, broke, and on a beach on an island at the end of nowhere. Finding a fortune in ambergris, his troubles are only beginning!  

Then The Chase, originally broadcast February 8, 1953, 72 years ago,  The Penny Pinching Landlord.  A miserly couple running a boarding house find one of their tenants dead in an alley...with $5000 in his pockets. 

Followed by The Lives of Harry Lime starring Orson Welles, originally broadcast February 8, 1952, 73 years ago, Earl On Troubled Waters.  Harry poses as a nobleman to smuggle $30,000 out of the country, but little Lord Randolph himself takes a hand.
