Suspense presents “A Present for Benny,” episode 628, originally broadcast on CBS on December 13, 1955. This sustaining Christmas-season broadcast was produced and directed by Antony Ellis and features Jack Kruschen, Stacy Harris, and Eve McVeagh.In this comparatively light gangster comedy, a holiday gift scheme becomes perilous when two nearly identical packages—one containing an ermine coat and the other something far more dangerous—are thrown into the confusion of Christmas shopping. Darkly comic tension builds as the intended present goes astray.Old Time Radio Stories presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned and mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.Chapters:00:00 Victor Sterling Introduction00:41 Original Broadcast31:01 ClosingBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/old-time-radio-stories-old-time-radio--7218844/support.Support Old Time Retro Radio at https://www.patreon.com/oldtimeretroradio
