The Wheel of Life Caper

Original Air Date:  July 11, 1948 – Play Time: 00:28:43 – Episode 107

Alan Reed

A beautiful woman appears in Sam’s office with a case of amnesia. Named after the flower of forgetfulness and the street on which she found herself, Poppy O’Farrell is being followed by a strange man.

Sam follows a lead to the Hotel Calcutta where he finds Poppy’s room where the floor and all the rest of the flat surfaces are covered in a fine dust – plaster dust. In the wardrobe is a dead body, a ship’s surgeon, with his throat cut. The murder weapon Sam finds isn’t a knife, not even a razor – it’s an electric buzz saw. Is Poppy a murderer? Who is the victim? And where did the plaster dust come from? And just what is the Wheel of Life? Listen and find out!

The cast includes Howard Duff as Sam, Sandra Gould as Bernadine and Alan Reed as Koralenko .
