From a set of reels labelled "Studio Black Catacomb Presents" comes this little gem. From a subset identified as "Five Minute Fictions", this brief piece seems to be another effort by Van Guarrault and his little studio staff to popularize the very short audio story, just about the length of two pop songs of the era. Though the effort never took off, as with several of Guarrault's innovations, there's also something genuinely delicious in these tiny brushes with the world of weird and dark storytelling.

Though it's difficult to connect names to voices, especially with the spontaneous pseudonyms the Black Catacomb crew seemed so enamored of concocting, that's clearly Guarrault reading the copy for the "Yarborough's Atomic Silver" there in the middle of the radioplay. As for the narrator, it's uncertain just who is playing our lead on this piece, though my best guess would be Robert Gary Terrace, who enjoyed a fine career as a studio regular on the famous "Boston Blackie" series.
