Suspense and the producer of Radio's Outstanding Theatre of Thrills, The Master of

Mystery and Adventure, William Anderson.

Everybody knows it is unwise to pick up hitchhikers.

It is especially unwise if you are young and pretty and driving a very powerful foreign

sports car.

depending on the hitchhiker.

Tarko, my big husky stiffened on the seat beside me.

Quiet, Tarko.

So as you are decided, I don't look like too much of a risk, huh?

Not at all.
