Followed by Escape, originally broadcast July 18, 1948, 76 years ago, Habit starring John Dehner.  A tale of the sea. An old captain finds himself performing an unusual operation, in an unusual way!

Then Hawk Larabee starring Barton Yarborough, originally broadcast July 18, 1947, 77 years ago, Mountain Central Railroad.  Hawk is working for the Mountain Central Railroad when 40,000 railroad ties suspiciously go up in flames. 

Followed by X Minus One, originally broadcast July 18, 1957, 67 years ago, The Merchants of Venus.   The problem is not how to get Earthmen to colonize Venus, but how to keep them there! 

Finally Superman, originally broadcast July 18, 1941, 83 years ago, Fur Smuggling.   Clark Kent is caught in a hidden bear trap, which does him no harm. Clark and Jimmy Olsen find smuggled mink skins in the bundle dropped from an airplane. Bud Collyer is Clark Kent and Superman, and Jackie Kelk is Jimmy Olsen.
