Episode description: Mrs Putnam calls the police and tells them she is being murdered. Police Detectives Jeff Hanson and Ed "Porky" Lamb trace the call to the Putnam house and pay them a visit only to find that Mrs Putnam supposedly died 2 hours before the phone call was made. Mrs Putnam's niece, Lois, and Doctor Halloway tell the police that Mrs Putnam died from a blood clot in her heart (coronary thrombosis). But a few things don't add up and Mrs Putnam's brother, Joel Adams (the gardener) and Williamson (the butler) all had reasons to kill her.
Aired on NBC and sponsored by Carter's Little Liver Pills.
Note: The episode "Death for Sale" from July 13, 1952 was mistakenly thought to be from this date.
Inner Sanctum Mystery was a radio drama that originally aired on the Blue Network between January 7, 1941, and October 5, 1952. Hosted by Paul McGrath, otherwise knows as "Raymond, your host."

A total of 527 episodes were produced, but sadly, the majority are presumed to be lost. Less than 200 are known to exist today. A number of the episodes that exist are edited versions that were rebroadcast on Armed Forces Radio Service (AFRS) as part of Mystery Playhouse hosted by movie and radio great, Peter Lorre. These episodes edited out the commercials as well as the original introductions and postscripts by Raymond. They were replaced with an introduction by Peter Lorre.
