Suspense - "Fragile-Contents Death" (Old Time Radio, 1951)
Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description
Suspense presents “Fragile-Contents Death,” originally broadcast on February 1, 1951. This local archival recording is identified as episode number 1. Paul Douglas stars as postmaster Douglas Jordan in a script by John F. Suter, aired on CBS and sponsored by Auto-Lite.
An anonymous warning sends Jordan and his postal staff into a race against time: somewhere in the mail system is a deadly package. As undelivered parcels, trucks, and delivery routes are searched, the ordinary routines of a busy post office become a tightly wound ordeal.
Suspense presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
