The Lady in the Red Hat

And now tonight's presentation of Radios Outstanding Theater of Thrills, suspense. Tonight, we bring you a story of a manhunt that ends in a church. We call it the Lady in the Red Hat. So now, starring Mr. Vic Perrin, here is tonight's suspense play, The Lady in the Red Hat.

Hello, Mitch. Come in, sit down. Thanks. What's the trouble? Orders to stop those articles you're writing. Why? Well, it's not so much the thirteenth apostle, is the way you keep harping on those theories you've got about him.

Well, I think I'm right. I know, so does the cheat. But you've got every woman in the city scared to death, that's why I want you to lay off. Look, five women have been murdered by the thirteenth apostle in three months, and they were all wearing red in their clothes.

I say that means something, and they want me to lay off. This isn't me. We hired you to do the feature column in the Sunday supplement, Sunday's supplement because you've got a big following psychology of murder. It's a great idea.

Excuse me. Yeah. Mr. Banning, is Mr. Mitchell in there? Yeah. Will you tell him his housekeeper's on the phone? He says it's urgent. All right. Switch the call in here. Yes, sir. Use this phone, Mitchell. Thanks.

Hello? Oh, yes, Mrs. White. Hello? Will you repeat the message, please? Thank you. No, don't worry, it's alright. Yes, I won't be home until after midnight. Yes, goodbye. Anything wrong? I don't know. I'll find out, though.

An anonymous note slipped under my door. Somebody wants me to meet the Avenger at midnight. Good evening. Oh, hi, Mick. I thought you were going to wait downstairs. I was, but Banning wanted to see me. Naylor called him.
