The Amazing Mr. Malone — 1951

Paid to buy off the young man romancing a wealthy family's daughter, Malone watches a simple errand curdle into something a good deal deadlier.

A woman talked a meek bookkeeper into robbing his mob-connected employer -- and now she is the one who turns up murdered.

A divorce case sours when the jealous husband decides Malone is the wife's lover, then gets himself killed with the lawyer first in line to take the blame.

A musician's affair with a married woman ends the way such things tend to on Malone's beat: with the musician dead.

A brutal husband starts squeezing the first wife he never legally left behind, and the blackmail is what finally gets him killed.

A woman arrives at Malone's office already charged with murder -- the victim being her own husband's mistress.

A mob boss's hunt for a missing woman goes sideways when the detective he hired falls for her; she is murdered, and it is the detective's wife the police want.

The last broadcast puts a woman in the frame for the murder of her husband -- a lawyer whose ethics were nobody's idea of clean.
