Murder on the Aisle
About This Broadcast
Rocky is hired to keep an alcoholic drama critic in his theater seat and instead finds him murdered during the performance. A producer, playwright and Rocky all have motives or opportunity, while magazine editor Porridge even confesses in an attempt to protect actress Miss Carter.
