Clive Brook
This postwar half-hour
crime drama series ran from 1949 to 1951.  Each
week, anxious radio-listeners tune in to hear a different story:
A man finds an armless and legless body wrapped in ribbons and lace,
two close brothers who love one another do not like one of the brother’s
affluent, unsightly and ignorant wife, a malevolent fellow murders
the wealthy matron that he lives with and then makes her body disappear.
Each time, Scotland Yard detectives are afoot to solve the crime
mystery!
