2+ Hours of Crime

First a look at this day in History.

Then Dragnet starring Jack Webb, originally broadcast October 1, 1949, 75 years ago, Tom Laval. Thomas Laval admits to being involved in a truck highjacking. While in custody, he jumps out of a window, but Sergeants Friday and Romeo are accused of pushing him to his death. 

Followed by the news from 75 years ago, then The Adventures of Philip Marlowe starring Gerald Moore, originally broadcast October 1, 1949, 75 years ago, Tale of the Mermaid.  A traffic accident outside of his office leads Marlowe to a murder on the waterfront and a "mermaid."  

Then Escape, originally broadcast October 1, 1947, 77 years ago, The Most Dangerous Game starring Paul Frees and Hans Conreid.  A big game hunt for the biggest game of all...man!

Followed by Boston Blackie starring Dick Kollmar, originally broadcast October 1, 1946, 78 years ago, The Undersea Murder. Two deep-sea treasure hunters find their treasure and a double double-cross. Yet a third double-cross confuses the plot. 

Finally Superman, originally broadcast October 1, 1941, 83 years ago, Metropolis Football Team Poisoning.  Superman gets the two antidotes from the head-hunters, but they're stolen by Pango Pete.
