A smooth-talking con man pitches a powerful crime boss on a new kind of protection racket—one built not on violence, but on rumors capable of destroying major corporations.

Original Radio Broadcast: August 11, 1949

Originating from New York

Starring: Don McLaughlin as David Harding; Mandel Kramer as Peters

Also featuring Rosa Rio. Directed by William M. Sweets.
