OTR Mysteries: The Line Up

The Line Up -- The Cornered Cop Killer Case 

Scott Burke has just been promoted from patrol officer to detective. Ben is assigned to work with him on his first case which involves a series of hold-ups of cocktail lounges.

It seems the suspect always does the same thing: He sits at the bar, has a couple of drinks, and plays Poor Butterfly over and over again on the juke box before pulling a gun and demanding money.

The detectives track the suspect to an apartment building where they believe he lives. It is there that things quickly get out of hand.

Featuring: Wally Maher, Jack Moyles, Scott Douglas, Ed Begley, Virginia Gregg, Dick Ryan, Sam Edwards, Howard McNear, Burt Holland.

Original Broadcast Date: April 8, 1952 on CBS
