Description
Suspense presents “Murder Aboard the Alphabet,” originally broadcast on August 21, 1947, as episode 259. Written by Charles Turrell McNair, this CBS production was sponsored by Roma Wines.
Aboard the transatlantic tugboat Alphabet, First Mate Marshland becomes increasingly troubled by Captain Godfrey Walker’s obsessive demand that every task be performed in alphabetical order. As unease grows among the reduced crew, Marshland must weigh obedience against the danger of challenging his captain. John Lund stars as Marshland, with Joseph Kearns as Captain Walker.
Suspense presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned and mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
