Suspense presents “Dead Ernest,” listed in this archive as episode 4 with an original broadcast date of March 2, 1949. Contemporary listings and surviving documentation identify the CBS broadcast as March 24, 1949, episode 333; it stars Pat O’Brien and Alan Reed and was written by Selig Lester and Mervyn Gerard.
After Ernest Bowers is struck by a car at a busy city intersection, an unusual medical condition makes it urgently difficult to determine what has happened to him. A tense, race-against-time thriller set amid police, hospital, and morgue procedures, “Dead Ernest” was sponsored by Autolite.
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.
