Heart’s Desire

Henry Doyle starts his career at the 42nd Street Bank as a messenger. Fifty years later, he's still working at the bank, still a messenger. A very, very good "Suspense" story with excellent use of (one) sound effect. Fill to time with an excerpt from the "Suspense" program of March 29, 1945.

Suspense is a state of anxiety or excitement caused by mysteriousness, uncertainty, doubt, or undecidedness. In a narrative work, suspense is the audience's excited anticipation about the plot or conflict, particularly as it affects a character for whom the audience feels sympathy. However, suspense is not exclusive to narratives.
