Suspense - "A Little Piece of Rope" (Old Time Radio, 1948)

Suspense presents “A Little Piece of Rope,” listed in this archival recording as episode 4, originally broadcast October 1, 1948. Other episode references identify the Lucille Ball drama as a CBS broadcast from October 14, 1948, episode 311. Lucille Ball stars as Isobel, a struggling actress whose youthful appearance fuels a dangerous confidence scheme. When one of her encounters takes an alarming turn, she must weigh the risk of seeking help against the consequences of exposing herself. Written by Virginia Cross and directed by Anton M. Leader, this is a notably dark Suspense role for Ball. 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.
