Barrie Craig, Confidential Investigator - Behold a Corpse

Old Time Radio Mysteries

Barrie Craig meets his latest client on a horse and buggy ride around Central Park for three dollars an hour. Although it was freezing outside, he did not mind, because she was paying for it and he had dealt with eccentrics before. Her name is Brenda Connor, a brunette with tendency to overact. Barrie asks her "Who is the demon that is pursuing you?" She says "It's my husband, Ralph Connor. He was gone for five years, completely out of my life. I'd almost forgotten him. Then, a week ago, he came back to me". Barrie asks "Do you resent his return?" Brenda says "I didn't say that". Barrie says "That's right, you didn't, but you don't exactly look overjoyed". She said "No, but it isn't what you think. I have no basic quarrel with my marriage even despite the separation but, Ralph, this man who has come back, I am really not so sure that it is him".
