Then The Mysterious Traveler, originally broadcast March 29, 1949, 76 years ago, Death Has a Cold Breath.  A broken-down actor inherits a fortune; a tempting scenario for his agent in need of some cold cash. A cold corpse proves to be too cold. 

Followed by Big Town starring Edward Pawley, originally broadcast March 29, 1949, 76 years ago, Chill of Death.  There's a chill wind of death coming down from the north...to Croc Miller, a gangster living in the Florida swamps.

Finally, Yankee Yarns by Alton H. Blackington, originally broadcast March 29, 1950, 75 years ago, April Fools.   Tales of April Fool's jokes of the past...and the best joke of all. John Gow is told that oil had been discovered, and is convinced he'll be rich. The elaborate pranks continued.
