On Halloween, a murderer is shot to death by what seems to be a young trick-or-treater in a ghost costume.
Reviews:
Nothing supernatural, just a straightforward whodunit by one of radio's top mystery writers. But the detective is bland and the puzzle plot isn't very engaging. The most interesting thing is the wartime setting: one of the suspects is a female factory worker and another is Gino the Italian dwarf who's involved in the black market! --- Anonymous

Two Men in a Furnished Room
Two strangers rent a furnished room together because of a housing shortage: Carr—world-weary and bitter toward women—and Dixon—affable and pleasant, but with a steady girl. After a few months, Dixon asks Carr if he'll step-out for the evening so he can be alone with Estelle. Carr agrees, but with bad grace. When Carr returns, he finds that Estelle has already left... but she never returns home!
With John Payne (Red Carr).
Reviews:
Nothing supernatural here, just a straight-forward, hard-boiled, murder mystery with a few unexpected twists. John Payne (who starred in "Miracle on 34th Street") does a great job as the cynical roommate, Red Carr. The other parts are all minor. Good pacing. Good dialogue. [7/10] --- zM
