'LARRY KENT, the private investigator, is an American detective operating in Australia. Next Wednesday this series presents the unusual story of three confessed “murderers” whom Detective Daniels is quite convinced are innocent.
'This conviction is so pronounced that he co-opts Larry Kent, his friend, to help him, and to this end a sensational story is released to the Press about the first two murders. But it didn’t bring anything to light except the knowledge that both murdered men had been in the theatrical business, and that, ten years ago, they had organised a vaudeville chain that crashed.
'Immediately on publication of the story there is another murder. This time an attractive young woman, manifestly innocent, confesses to the crime. A hurried air-trip to Melbourne from Sydney important interviews with a theatrical agent and theatre personality, provide the clue to the motive, and a tense finale, in which Larry Kent is nearly murdered, satisfactorily rounds off a play for listeners who like “suspense.”'
