Nightbeat was a radio drama series that aired on NBC from February 6, 1950 until September 25, 1952, sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer and Wheaties. Frank Lovejoy starred as Randy (originally "Lucky") Stone, a reporter who covered the nightbeat for the Chicago Star, encountering criminals and troubled souls. Listeners were invited to join Stone as he "searches through the city for the strange stories waiting for him in the darkness." Supporting actors included Joan Banks, Parley Baer, William Conrad, Jeff Corey, Lawrence Dobkin, Paul Frees, Jack Kruschen, Peter Leeds, Howard McNear, Lurene Tuttle, Martha Wentworth and Ben Wright. The format was recreated, with Lovejoy as Stone, on an episode of the television anthology series, Four Star Playhouse ("Search in the Night" 5 November 1953). *************************************** SHOWS LIST *****CD 1 500206 (1) Zero 500213 (2) The Night Is a Weapon *****CD 2 500220 (3) A World All of His Own 500227 (4) The Girl in the Park *****CD 3 500306 (5) Number 13 500313 (6) Am I My Brother's Keeper *****CD 4 500320 (7) The Man Who Claimed To Be Dead 500327 (8) Flowers on the Water *****CD 5 500409 (9) The Night Is A Weapon 500410 (10) I Know Your Secret *****CD 6 500417 (11) Tong War 490519 (Audition)The Ted Carter Murder Case *****CD 7 500501 (13) Mentallo, the Mental Marvel 500508 (14) Elevator Caper *****CD 8 500515 (15) The Night Watchman 500522 (16) I Wish You Were Dead *****CD 9 500529 (17) Harlan Matthews, Stamp Dealer 500605 (18) The Girl from Kansas *****CD 10 500612 (19) Football Player and the Syndicate 500619 (20) Vincent and the Painter *****CD 11 500626 (21) The Juvenile Gangster 500703 (22) Marty *****CD 12 500710 (23) T'will Be the Death of Me 500717 (24) Molly Keller
