And now, tonight's presentation of radio's outstanding theatre of thrills... ...suspence. Tonight, the story of a young girl who was able to win her way with all men, save one. So now, starring Lynn Allen with Vic Perrin, here is tonight's suspense play...

...Pretty Girl. Hi Lieutenant. Sergeant Ormond? Yeah. Where is she? We've got her down here at the end of the hall. Uh, wait a minute. On the phone you said she had something with her. That, on the desk.

That's all she had, no coat, no purse. Walking around in the rain with that thing in her hand. Then check, yeah. That's heavy enough. For what? It's a good question. Let's find out, right? You give a name yet?

Yes. All right, see what you can find. Right. What happened tonight, Emi? Where have you been? What happened? Where's my curse? I don't know. Lipstick. Where's my lipstick? Probably in your purse. Where'd you leave it?

I couldn't find my lipstick. I couldn't find my lipstick. I asked Sal. She wears my color. I wanted some lipstick. Here. Use my lipstick. Thanks. What's his name?
