The Night Is A Weapon - Night Beat - Frank Lovejoy
Randy encounters a troubled man trying to steal a gun.
The adventures of "Lucky" Stone, reporter for the Chicago Star begin. A friend of Ted Carter, an ex-hoodlum, is found murdered. Lucky is determined to find the killer, and the trial leads to the powerful George Bailey.
Night Beat, sometimes spelled Nightbeat, is an NBC radio drama series that aired February 6, 1950–September 25, 1952, sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer and Wheaties.
Radio historian John Dunning described Night Beat as a "superior series", carried by vivid writing and Lovejoy's sympathetic performance
Frank Lovejoy starred as Randy Stone, a reporter who covered the night beat for the Chicago Star, encountering criminals, eccentrics, and troubled souls. Listeners were invited to join Stone as he "searches through the city for the strange stories waiting for him in the darkness." Most episodes leaned towards suspense, crime and thriller themes, but Night Beat also featured occasional humorous or sentimental stories. Each episode ended with Stone at his desk as he finished typing a news story based on his latest exploits, and shouting for the copy boy to deliver his story to an editor.
Originally Broadcast 2/13/1950
