The Cave-In

And now tonight's presentation of radio's outstanding theater of thrills... ...suspense. Tonight, the story of murder in a sealed coal mine, we call it... ...the cave-in. So now, starring Mr. Ben Wright, here is tonight's suspense play...

...the cave-in. Three, two, four, please. Hurry. Yes, it's the clean-up scene. I don't know. Put in the car, will you? Mr. Gart, Mr. Gart, this is Mr. Flowers.

It's a bad fall, Mr. Gart. Most of them got out, but a few are still down there. No, we don't know how many. I don't think there's been an explosion. Can you come down right away, sir?

How is it down there, Will? I didn't turn around to look, Mr. Flowers. I ran for the sake of my life when I heard it coming. Haven't you got any idea who's still in it?

I'm not sure. I was working along with you, Davis. Evan Lewis and David Oenha. I think maybe for Williams is with us too but I... I can't be certain, alright. As soon as the dust is cleared a bit, we'll go down.

Have any other men come up? I was the last I think. And said it, will you tell us? Yes sir. What's the matter with the thing? Why don't they answer up this?

The fall probably knocks it out. You're wasting your time. Oh well, no hard trying it. Hello, hello! Wait a bit. Hello! You got to. Emlin, can you hear me? It's David Owen. Yes. Tell him what happened.

Tell him. Tell him. Emlin, there's four of us in here. End of the shaft. You, Davis, Evan Lewis and me. There's evil Williams too. No, no, no. Evil Williams. But he's dead. And you better have a policeman ready if you ever get us out because he's been murdered.
