The Unexpected: Cargo Unknown|Mystery Audio Drama
In this 15-minute mystery from The Unexpected, Lyle Talbot stars as deep-sea diver Tom Stevenson, a man drawn into a web of deception and greed when a mysterious widow offers him a fortune to recover lost treasure from a sunken ship off the coast of Hawaii. But as the dive grows darker and the truth rises to the surface, Stevenson learns that fate—and fortune—can turn in the most unexpected ways.
Produced in Hollywood and syndicated across the country, The Unexpected ran during 1947–1948, offering compact dramas with twist endings reminiscent of Suspense and The Whistler. Cargo Unknown is a sharp example of the series’ flair for irony and moral surprise, delivered with brisk pacing and atmospheric sound design.
