Another journey into the realm of the strange and terrifying.

I hope you will enjoy the trip that it will thrill you a little and chill you a little.

So settle back.

Get a good grip on your nerves.

Where are we going? You'll find out when we get there. I'm Suspense.

Autolite and its 96,000 dealers present Mr. Danny Kay in I Never Met the Dead Man,

a suspense play produced and edited by William Spear.

And now with I Never Met the Dead Man and the performance of Mr. Danny Kay,

Autolite hopes once again to keep you in suspense.

I never even met the guy.

I was just walking along humming.

On an empty side street on New Year's Day.

Hey! Hey there!

Hey, you!

I didn't do anything, officer.

Oh, nobody ever does anything.

Why they pay us cups of salary, I don't understand.

Well, you know me, Mr. Callan. Joe Wickoff. I was on my way home from the plant. Running home, boy? No, I wasn't... Bullets were flying around here. Somebody killed that man in the car. Sure. Somebody. Are you crazy as something? I had nothing to do with it. Ask anybody. Ask who, for instance, boy. There wasn't anybody else on the street when I turned the corner. Well, how about these buildings around here? He could have been shot from

one of them. That's right. He could have. But you better stick around anyway, boy.

That's how it started. Just walking along, honey.

All of a sudden, bang, bang, and a half hour later, the cops have me in the yes room at headquarters.

No rubber hose, none of that kind of stuff.
