Another well written episode by Sam Dann. He was quite prolific. And, for the most part, created strong, well crafted dramas. this is no exception.

Tony Roberts gives a compelling performance in this tale. It's rare for him to play the part of the villian, but he rises to the occasion.

It's interesting that the protaganist zeros in on his culprit so quickly and then spends the bulk of the story building a case against him. Again, Sam Dann approches this tale in a unique fashion.

Simple-- but well paced crime dramas such as these-- are what helped RMT last so long. Afterall, constant supernatural horrors or sci-fi's would have grown stale too quickly-- to keep the show as entertaining as it is-- through nearly 1500 broadcasts. Himan Brown wisely switched genres regularly and seamlessly to keep RMT at such a high quality.

Good selection-- which helps illustrate the more "Down-to-Earth" side of the Radio Mystery Theater..........
