A bank worker finds out that $50,000 has disappeared and needs to hunt down the missing cash before the auditors show up, fighting the clock to figure out who took it.

Criminal gangs put regular people in danger across the big city.

A man kills another man by accident, then a young woman starts demanding money from him to keep quiet about it. His wife gets crazy jealous about everything. Dead bodies pile up everywhere! Paul McGrath gets credit as the show's host because of old records. Raymond Edward Johnson stopped hosting on May 15, 1945. Berry Kroeger ran the next two shows, then Paul McGrath took over until the program ended. This matters because the AFRS announcer says "Raymond, Your Host" when introducing the host who tells the story. The AFRS announcer probably made a mistake about who the host was. The AFRS called the show "Mystery Playhouse."
