Classic Radio for July 31, 2024 - The Self Made Corpse, The Saing foes Underground, and the Lady with the Golden Hair

2+ Hours of  Crime 

First a look at this day in History.

Then The Crime Club, originally broadcast July 31, 1947, 77 years ago, The Self-Made Corpse.  A mild little man visits a bunch of gangsters to have them help him with a bank robbery. They agree. 

Followed by The Saint starring Vincent Price, originally broadcast July 31, 1949, 75 years ago, The Saint Goes Underground. The Saint finds himself out west, helping a beautiful blonde and her newly acquired "Conley Silver Mine"...despite continual warnings to get out of town. 

Then Dragnet starring Jack Webb, originally broadcast July 31, 1952, 72 years ago, The Big Signet.  The restaurant and bar that is run by Mr. and Mrs. Ryner has been robbed. Mr. Ryner's diamond signet ring has been taken too. 

Followed by Jack Webb BEFORE Dragnet, as Jeff Regan Investigator, originally broadcast July 31, 1948, 76 years ago, The Lady with the Golden Hair. Who's trying to kill an eccentric Hollywood make-up artist, and what about that hairy lady?

Finally Lum and Abner, originally broadcast July 31, 1944, 80 years ago, Lum Serves Eviction Papers.  All things come to he who waits. Huh? Watching the steam shovels.
