Lana Turner makes her second appearance on Suspense and plays a newly married ex-detective. Her former boss finds her and confronts her with his suspicion that the husband killed his first wife. The coroner’s verdict at the time was “suicide.” Her ex-boss believes that was wrong, and he’s hiring someone to investigate… but she decides to do the detective work herself to make sure it’s done right! She starts her work and looks into the lives of other women he knew. The husband begins to suspect something is up when he detects the odor of her ex-boss’ pipe tobacco on her clothes. Who’s trying to fool whom? It’s a good, surprise ending.

The story was by Lois Eby and John C. Fleming, cousins, who wrote novels, short stories, radio plays, screenplays, and other projects. It was adapted for Suspense by E. Jack Neuman.

This was the second transcribed Suspense production, likely to accommodate Turner’s film schedule. It was recorded on Sunday, 1949-11-27. 

The cast: LANA TURNER (Sarah “Shadow” Conway), Lou Merrill (Dutch), Bill Johnstone (Jimmy Conway), Joan Banks (Kathy Dane), Olive Deering (Millicent), Virginia Gregg (Saleswoman / Judy Fleetwood), Paul Frees (Signature Voice)
