Suspense presents “Dead Ernest,” originally broadcast May 8, 1947. This local archival recording is identified as episode 8. Written by Seeleg Lester and Merwin Gerard, the CBS thriller features Wally Maher as Lieutenant Steve Healey, with Junius Matthews as Ernest Bowers.
After a street accident, a man prone to cataleptic attacks is mistaken for dead when the safeguards identifying his condition are separated from him. As police and medical officials follow routine procedures, Lieutenant Healey races to piece together the clues in this darkly comic, time-sensitive suspense story.
Suspense 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.
