This Will Kill You: A Workman’s Obsession and a Fatal Setup

Originally Aired: August 23, 1945   In Suspense #155, “This Will Kill You,” factory worker Joe Jordan is fed up with being belittled by his foreman, Charlie Harris. But when workplace slights and romantic jealousy boil over, Joe hatches a chillingly calculated plan—not just for revenge, but to destroy Charlie’s life completely. What follows is a dark, manipulative plot to commit the perfect murder, plant the evidence, and walk away clean… until one fatal oversight unravels it all. A gripping narrative of ego, madness, and the illusion of control, delivered with relentless tension.   Cast: Dane Clark   Tags: Suspense, thriller, crime, psychological, daneclark, factorydrama, revenge, oldtimeradio, falsealibi, classicnoir, 1940sradio, murdermystery, setup, radiohistory, suspensepodcast
