Crime Classics - "The Boorn Brothers and the Hangman a Study in Nip and Tuck" (Old Time Radio, 1954)

Crime Classics presents “The Boorn Brothers and the Hangman: A Study in Nip and Tuck,” originally broadcast on CBS on January 27, 1954. Episode 30 is a historical crime drama written by Morton Fine and David Friedkin, produced and directed by Elliott Lewis, with Lou Merrill as host and narrator.

Based on Vermont’s real Boorn-Colvin case, the story follows brothers Jesse and Stephen Boorn after the disappearance of their brother-in-law, Russell Colvin, draws suspicion, accusations, and growing public pressure. Set against the perilous justice system of early-19th-century New England, it is a tense account of suspicion and a capital case closing in. The cast includes Virginia Gregg, Lamont Johnson, Bill Conrad, and Jack Kruschen.

Old Time Retro Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
