Tales of the Texas Rangers | Old Time RadioShow Notes
Old Time Retro Radio presents Tales of the Texas Rangers, “Death Plant,” originally broadcast on December 9, 1951. This is episode 56 of the NBC Radio Network crime drama, starring Joel McCrea as Texas Ranger Jace Pearson.
After a rural Texas couple’s pickup is destroyed in a nighttime explosion near the fictional town of Pembroke, Ranger Pearson and the local sheriff investigate evidence of a carefully constructed homemade bomb. With suspicion quickly falling on a man connected to the truck’s past, Pearson must follow the facts before drawing conclusions. Stacy Keach Sr. directed and produced this dramatized case, with Captain M. T. “Lone Wolf” Gonzaullas serving as technical adviser.
