Suspense - "Black Death" (Old Time Radio, 1955)

Suspense presents “Black Death,” originally broadcast on CBS on August 2, 1955. Episode 609 stars Edgar Barrier as Dr. Gebhardt and William Conrad as Police Chief Williams, in a script by Lawrence Goldman.

When a laboratory cat exposed to plague bacteria escapes into the city, Dr. Gebhardt and the police face a desperate race to find it before panic—or infection—spreads. The crisis becomes even more urgent when the doctor’s young daughter, devoted to the missing cat, may be in danger.

The 50 Greatest Old Time Radio Shows presents this original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
