Killer At Large is a radio station whose sponsors pay $50,000 for the arrest and conviction of a killer at large. The twist is that they deal with real facts, real people and real crimes and real criminals. With a tape recorder they reconstruct one of San Francisco’s more sensational unsolved crimes the murder of Carol Stevens. The show is made up of the simple and honest spontaneous statements of witnesses themselves. The radio show is set on this case except for the statement of one man, Jimmy Biddle who had been top suspect until he came up with an alibi. The radio show had been unable to find him until now when he turned up claiming to know whom the murderer was and wanting to claim the $50,000. The radio program employs Private Detective Sam Spade to investigate.
