Not a bad episode. At first I thought I was listening towards an episode of The Whistler...which Suspense sometimes comes across as...but there were times this was a pretty good suspenseful story.
I'm not a big Lloyd Nolan fan and I could never get the picture of him out of my head. But all in all, pretty good.
