Cabin B-13

Suspens! This is the man in black here to introduce Columbia's program suspense. In Hollywood this evening our two distinguished stars are the lovely actress Margot, the Polish young actor from Holland, Mr. Philip Doan. A story by John Dixon Carr dealing with strange, very strange happenings about an ocean liner and called Cabin B-13

is tonight's tale of suspense. If you have been with us before, you will know that suspense is compounded of mystery and suspicion and dangerous adventure. In this series are tales calculated to intrigue you, to stir your nerves, to offer you a precarious situation, and then withhold a solution until the last possible moment.

And so with cabin B-13 and with the performances of Margot as Anne Brewster and Philip Dawn as Dr. Carl Heinrich, We again hope to keep you in... ...suspense... ...or in happier peacetime days to a great ocean liner...

...on the night of her departure for Europe. There she is at the West 22nd Street Pier... ...the 25,000-tonne Moravania of the White Planet Line. Smoke from her three funnels coils up lazily in mild October air.

You can see the decks white and shiny like shoeboxes... ...and the string of lights along them... ...and the van standing by on A-deck to play her out. You can hear the murmur of an excited crowd.

And the rattle of the steam-oonshires as cargo is lowered into the hole. You can see the bustle of activity. And the second officer standing at the head of the gangplank has two rather late passengers hurried through the custom shed towards that gangplank.

It's alright, we are not too late. No, and I thought we'd be in time. A honeymoon in Europe. Three whole months with nothing to worry about. Yeah, it's alright. And you've been my wife, well, let's see.
