Suspense

A story about a bumbling, small town assistant police chief who's not as dumb as he seems to be. A wanted man is captured and later found hanging in his cell. The program has a surprise ending. 

A haunted balcony in an Italian villa encourages a madman to try a second murder. 

A man and his wife sit beside the fire in their country cottage. They are Professor Craft and his wife Cynthia. The cottage is rather isolated three miles from the nearest house - no electricity, central heating, or telephone. Professor Craft is convinced that his wife is having an affair with a young doctor from the village, so he devises a plan to rid himself of them both. 

One of the premiere drama programs of the Golden age of Radio, Suspense was subtitled “radio’s outstanding theater of thrills”. The protagonist was usually a normal person suddenly dropped into a bizarre or threatening situation; solutions were “withheld until the last possible second” and evildoers were usually punished in the end.
