I’ve been going through the Bailey stories in order, and so far this is next to The Valentine Manner as my favorite story. It had such a different angle and it worked great.
Want a shorter version of it? Try Episode 144, "The Thelma Ibsen Matter." This is one of several half-hour John Lund episodes by E. Jack Neuman which the author expanded under his pseudonym John Dawson into 5-part, hour and a quarter Bob Bailey episodes. Same plot, only the names are changed and scenes were expanded to fit the longer time available. And in this case, the amount of the benefit was adjusted for the contemporary economy.

I love the descriptions & Foley sounds in these broadcasts. Sparks the imagination - something that books also do, but movies don't.
John Dehner has a very recognizable voice. And the suicidal woman…Virginia Gregg.
Virginia Gregg’s voice is so recognizable in so many radio programs, isn’t it? I can always pick her out even if I don’t hear her name in credits.
This is the best radio drama.
Ha! The nun & the landlady are the same actress. No mistaking that voice.
I noticed that too.
Amazingly modern in the character...
Phil Hartman made a career using the voice

Maleficent... the voice actress at least sounds the same as from Sleeping Beauty
