Frank Lovejoy
Sometimes the capers are cops and robbers. Or just normal
people in trouble. Sometimes they deserve it. Sometimes
fate twists their arm. Sometimes they're just too scared
or confused to know the difference.

Randy Stone's heart is in the right place, and sometimes
he can make a difference. Sometimes it's just too late.
And too bad. But he tells the story. That's life on the
Nightbeat. As he finishes setting it down in words, Randy
yells out, "Copy boy!" and the story rolls to
print, and the newspaper hits the street as the sun come
up.
Orchestra and sound effects are excellent. Frank Lovejoy is a seasoned pro of radio and film with an honest, gripping
delivery. Solid supporting casts maintain the intensity
of the noir theme. Good writing and direction keep the show
moving, allowing the listener to witness another story from
the Nightbeat.
