About this listen

The Alibi (10/25/1942 – Old Time Radio Mystery)


In a grand old house ruled by a sharp‑tongued, iron‑willed matriarch, fear has become a way of life. Everyone in her orbit—relatives, servants, even those who once cared for her—now lives under her constant scrutiny and cruel manipulation. Each of them has endured her control. Each of them has a motive. And each of them knows that as long as she lives, none of them will ever be free.


When tempers flare and long‑buried resentments rise to the surface, the question is no longer who might want her dead… but who will seize the chance to make it happen. In the world of The Whistler, guilt hides behind polite smiles, innocence is never guaranteed, and even the perfect alibi can unravel with a single whisper.


A tense blend of domestic suspense, psychological drama, and classic noir irony, this episode is ideal for listeners searching for vintage mystery, crime thrillers, and old‑time radio intrigue.
