This is quite an original little mystery with Ruth Terry taking centre stage as "Jan Cornell". She hosts one of those weekly radio shows that tells stories of cold-case crime. One week, though, with ratings dwindling and the sponsors getting tetchy, she hits on the idea of the show solving a real crime - by next week! Her boss loves the idea so now allied with her fellow radio detective "Jerome" (Frank Albertson) they embark on some sleuthing. All too quickly, though, they become embroiled in a fresh murder - one of their prime suspects, no less, and who knows if they might be next! This moves along nicely with plenty of creepy scenarios to keep the interest piqued and the nerves tingling but the audio! Yikes, but were the microphones in the studio next door? Terry and Albertson do make for quite an engaging duo and the story has just enough jeopardy to keep us guessing right until the broadcast. I bet she'll never accidentally lean on the lift buttons again, either!
