And now, tonight's presentation of Radios Outstanding Theatre of Thrills... Suspense! Tonight, we bring you a story of a killer and the family which he held in a night of fear. We call it Strange for a Killer.
So now, starring Mr. John Dana, here is tonight's suspense play... Strange for a killer. As is Henry. Oh, swell! Anywhere along here.
Thanks, bud. Are you sure you don't want to stop in for a minute? You haven't seen the kid yet have you? Yeah I'd like to but I have to get home early myself tonight. The wife's got some kind of meeting and I'll have to take care of my own.
Okay, see you tomorrow. Yeah, night, Hank. Alright. Hold it right there. Oh, I didn't see you officer. What's wrong? You'll have to wait a while. You can't go down that street. But that's where I live.
My wife's waiting for me. You'll be a little late. Well I'll wait a minute. Look, will you keep your voice down and stay back? You'll get hurt if you don't. Oh, you after someone? Roy Jalesca.
Jalesca? That's right. And he's been living in this neighborhood? Where? Right across the street, down three doors. There's a cop every 10 feet from here to the river. You better go back in that drug store and wait.
Call your wife if you want. Yeah, I think I'd better. Where'd you say he was? Crossing down three doors? Yeah. We're in the apartment house right next to her. You don't think they'll be any shooting?
Just tell her to stay inside and keep a door locked. She'll be all right. Oh, thanks. All right, Charlie. Hey, it's that you'll listen, guys. They're after, you know? Been living in the boarding house right next to you.
