An hour of Crime

First, a look at this date in history.

Then Gangbusters, originally broadcast November 8, 1947, 76 years ago, The Case of the Jersey Butcher Bandits. Narrated by boxing champion Jim Braddock in person (not by proxy). The bandits netted a quarter million bucks...until carelessness netted them a change in venue.

Followed by Let George Do It starring Bob Bailey and Virginia Gregg, originally broadcast November 8, 1946, 77 years ago, The Robber. An eccentric book dealer dies, and George is hired to find his missing money. The clue lies with Mary...and her little lamb!

Then Philo Vance starring Jackson Beck, originally broadcast November 8, 1949, 74 years ago, The Tea Cup Murder Case. Gangster John Williams has been shot and murdered in a house surrounded by mud...and there's no visible footprints in the mud.

Finally Suspense, originally broadcast November 8, 1959, 64 years ago, The Last Trip. A woman and her lover plan to place a bomb aboard the plane on which her husband will be flying. It's a sort of...birthday present.
