on him and now we can turn to a little matter of murder our story tonight begins on a pleasant note with a honeymoon couple but don't start the squirm the unpleasantness will commence soon enough

be married yeah the other church that's got department store can see us now i don't want anybody to see us i just want to be alone in here joe the rest of my life i hope you don't mind spending our honeymoon in a tourist cabin instead of a swanky hotel but i love it this way joe it's been rushing past the moonlight shining on the bridge the woods all around us there's another car they're parking on the bridge he's turning his headlights out too they think they've got privacy i guess they can't see us parking look joe that couple's getting out of the car yeah for a walk on the bridge wonder if this is their wedding night too the gorgeous car joe that couple acting very strange huh they're having an argument joe look what he just took out of his pocket holy mackerel a gun he's pointing gun at her he shot her holy mackerel it it can't be it must be a gag or some kind but you saw the flashes when he fired the gun it was douchey night her body crumpled at his feet yeah he's picking her up

car i'll stop it hey it isn't stopping it went right by joe what i think i hear something you find us in the woods it's only the wind in the trees suppose we should suddenly step out of those woods with his gun maybe he gave up maybe went back to take care of that body our car is there joe with our marriage license in the glove compartment and there's a seat mrs swenson gave us for the cabin yeah he'll know all about it it's who we are we're to find us we don't know what's on your body except his face the face of a murderer come on Andy i think we better start walking we've got to get to the cabin and phone the police how much further joe just around the bend i'd like to lie down and sleep right here on the road fine way to spend a wedding night darling look we're there swenson's cabin they're all dark everybody's asleep now we'll have to wake up mrs swenson use a phone joe look in front of our cabin hey that's our car the murder must have driven here in it by another road to

shoot till he knows where you are take it easy stay back here in the shadows it'll be all right it's okay Nancy the car is empty maybe he's hiding somewhere close by no he must have skipped out but why why would he bring our car back here he wanted to get it away from the bridge don't you see he must have dumped that girl's body in the river and then he took our car away no trace i'm scared joe maybe he's hiding inside the cabin waiting for us he'd be a sap one shot would wake up all the people in the other cabins and mrs swenson too he'd never get away with it come on we're going in our cabin and get cleaned up then we'll use the phone the switch is right here hey see nobody hiding holy mackerel what what is it over there on the bed what a girl's body just like we saw her on the bridge now we can return to that cozy little honeymoon cabin where joe and Nancy found the beautiful corpse on their bed the corpse who had her face left it but don't worry before the night's over the murderer may have his face left it too on the end of a roll now if that murderer were in oriental he might try to save face but you can't save your face if you lose your head can you in the meantime i

please right it's like a few minutes it's all right we'll wait i'll turn the radio for you this is brought to you this is your friendly neighborhood station with the early morning local news during the night death came to mrs hannah swenson whose tourist cabins are located on the bay park highway right off route 27 mrs swenson's body was discovered by oscar jansen the handyman who was awakened by the sound of a car driving away from one of the cabin investigating he found mrs swenson lying on the floor of cabin three dr macklin who was summoned immediately noticed that mrs swenson had died of a heart attack he had been treating her for a severe heart attack and i didn't kill her joey didn't say anything he had not taken more of the photo of digitalis the state police are anxious to contact a couple who occupied the cabin and who apparently left during the night they are traveling in a blue nice sedan license number sn 1637 their names are not known as yet but if they should hear this broadcast they are requested to call at the state police barracks as soon as possible let's get out of here nancy i can't wait we're in a hurry come on dad what does it mean joe why didn't he mention the other body it's a trap nancy you get it they're keeping mum about the girl's body joe i don't think so what well what else could it be we left two bodies there didn't we shut the model maybe the real murder was waiting close by all the time maybe after we left he went in and took the girl's body away again i don't like it i want to get away from here far away wait joe don't you realize you're not a murderer you didn't kill mr swinton it was a heart attack that's what they say i say it's a trap now let's get moving joe it's too late look state troop he's coming right over here sure he's got this license no i guess our honeymoon is over l r u mr and mrs joseph stone yes you're joe stone that's right and you lady you're nancy stone yes well then this belongs to you what what is it figured our marriage license what where'd you get it one of our men happened to be cruising down to the old mill stream last night he saw a fella get out of a roadster on the bridge carrying a girl's body the fella dumped the girl over the rail and our man went after him they had a gunfight and the fella got a slug to the heart when we went through his car we found this and on the back of it you notice he wrote your license number was like you figured nancy the killer was waiting outside the cabin all the time and after we left he came back and took the girl's body away again and obviously you you got the murderer sure did but we didn't recover the body of the girl it was carried downstream may take several days to find it that and we're not wanted for anything well you're the folks that were in mrs swenson's cabin last night we figured you left in a hurry kind of embarrassing to have a thing like that happen on your honeymoon huh i can't blame you but then we're breathing to go on our honeymoon just come down to the barracks and find a statement and you can be on your way uh what would you mind officer just a few minutes we want to go back in the diner for our honeymoon breakfast haha who's it a break i'll bet you expected joe and nancy to come to a bad end it's too bad nancy had to be framed for murder but we just couldn't resist framing her she is that's pretty as a picture and oh yeah would you care to hear our recipe for eliminating crime but it goes like this to prevent a murder you must commit the murderer before he commits the murder they got over for a while and then you'll be ready to murder someone well friends it's time once again to close that creaking door i'll hear next week at the same time when we'll be back with a little hunk of horror inner sanctum has come to you through the worldwide facilities of the united states armed forces radio and television service
