It represents the mysterious clapler written produced and directed by Robert A. Arthur and David Cogon and starring tonight's who are radio's foremost actor Eric Vessler and John Sylvester in an original radio drama titled Murder is My Business.

This is the mysterious chameler inviting you to join me on another journey into the realm of the strange and the terrifying. I hope you will enjoy the trip, and it will free you a little and chill you a little.
