First a look at the events of the day

Then The Lives of Harry Lime starring Orson Welles, originally broadcast August 24, 1951, 73 years ago, A Ticket to Tangiers. Down on his luck in Paris, Harry finds an opportunity in Morocco from a classified ad in a newspaper. 

We follow that with The FBI in Peace And War, originally broadcast August 24, 1955, 69 years ago, Double Play.   A con-game by a gang is led by a crook who looks exactly like a major league baseball star. 

Then Crime and Peter Chambers starring Dane Clark, originally broadcast August 24, 1954, 70 years ago, Winston Carr. The wealthy Winston Carr (a Sydney Greenstreet clone) hires Chambers to deliver an envelope. This task is valued at $200, and is worth every cent, as the recipient of the letter has been murdered!
