Transcript

suspense, and the producer of radio's outstanding theater of thrills, the master of mystery and adventure, William N. Robeson. Motorists are constantly being warned against giving lifts to hitchhikers, but all hitchhikers are not dangerous characters, and all motorists are not angels and wheels.
