2 hours of Crime 

First a look at the events of the day

Then The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, originally broadcast September 10, 1945, 79 years ago, Colonel Warburtons Madness.  The Colonel has gone raving mad, and only Sherlock Holmes and a dog can discover the cause! 

We follow that with Dragnet starring Jack Webb, originally broadcast September 10, 1949, 75 years ago, Sullivan Kidnapping.  "The Wolf" has kidnapped a girl and has demanded $30,000 ransom.  

Then Boston Blackie starring Dick Kollmar, originally broadcast September 10, 1946, 78 years ago, The Backstage Murder Case. Blackie dons tights and grease-paint to perform in, "The Mikado." Murder takes a bow, with marked cards found on the corpse.

Next  Suspense, originally broadcast September 10, 1951, 73 years ago, The Evil of Adelaide Winters starring Agnes Moorehead.  A phony spiritualist convinces a grief-stricken father that she can communicate with his dead son. She succeeds all too well! 

Finally, Superman, originally broadcast September 10, 1941, 83 years ago.  Metropolis Football Team Poisoned.  Superman learns who would benefit if the Metropolis Football team doesn’t win their final game.  Jimmy sees the cook putting something unusual in the team’s milk.  Bud Collyer is Clark Kent/Superman, with Jackie Kelk as Jimmy Olson.
