Episode 0039 "A Lady Never Loses Her Head"

Original Story by Ian Martin Directed by Himan Brown Host: E.G. Marshall

After a whirlwind romance, and American woman marries an aristocratic Brit. When she moves into her husband's Manor House, she is haunted by a headless specter on horseback who bears a striking resemblance to her.

Our suspense -filled tale is about two ladies. One heedless, one, alas, headless. To meet them both... we shall have to span an ocean and several centuries. The story of both ladies comes from Rudley Castle in the Cotswold Hills of England. But the tale of the First Lady belongs in this century, while the legend of the Second comes riding to us out of the medieval past.

The title of our tale is, A Lady Never Loses Her Head. This has been an accepted dictum since the beginning of recorded history. But in the literal sense, in feudal times, a lady unfortunately could, and frequently did, lose her head. Thank heavens, of course, that is no longer possible. Or is it? Let's travel to London and start our narrative in the gloomy gray atmosphere of Scotland Yard.

Starring: Kim Hunter, Nick Pryor, Court Benson, Ian Martin, Bryna Raeburn
