Show Notes

(UPDATE! One of our astute listeners (thank you, Mike!) noticed that we have misidentified the origin of this recording! This is in fact from the 1955 run of The Clock, recorded in Australia. Our humblest apologies for the error.) The Society finally has finally turned their attention to The Clock! Howard Williams has moved to a small town, where everyone seems considerate and happy to help a neighbor, but chance and coincidence have conspired to turn a friendly favor into a death sentence in this episode entitled, “A Helping Hand!” What’s the worst that could happen when you help a stranger? Is the perfect murder truly possible or will there always be a slip up? Who would write a story about a pile of potatoes? Listen for yourself and find out!
