GREEN EYES
Based on The Murder of Stephen Kester, a plot-twisting novel by H. Ashbrook, Green Eyes gets off to a shocking start as Stephen Kester (Claude Gillingwater), the host of a masquerade party, is found stabbed to death in a closet. The victim's daughter (Shirley Grey) and her fiancé (William Bakewell), whose impending wedding was staunchly forbidden by Kester, become prime suspects. Then, mystery writer Bill Tracy (Charles Starrett) suggests to the investigating Inspector Crofton (John Wray) that Kester's business partners Pritchard (Alden Chase) and Hall (Arthur Clayton) also had motive to do the deed. Tracy's suspicions appear to prove true when Hall commits suicide, leaving behind a note confessing to the murder. But there's more to this tricky little mystery than meets the eye—the truth turns out to be an impossibility.

INTERNATIONAL CRIME

As he's reporting for a radio crime show, his assistant Phoebe Lane (Astrid Allwyn) hands him a note saying the Metropolitan Theatre is to be robbed that night. As an aside, he includes this bit of news at the end of his report about Honest John (William Pawley), a notorious safe cracker who's been released from prison. Through with his report, Cranston goes to the theatre to be robbed, but nothing happens. Across town, a safe is blown at the home of an international banker who is killed in the explosion.
