Tales of the Texas Rangers - "Open and Shut" (Old Time Radio, 1951)
Tales of the Texas Rangers | Old Time RadioShow Notes
Tales of the Texas Rangers presents “Open and Shut,” episode 52, originally broadcast on November 11, 1951. Joel McCrea stars as Texas Ranger Jace Pearson in this NBC Radio Network case-file drama, written by Joel Murcott and directed by Stacy Keach.
When an apparent lovers’ lane homicide rocks a small Texas border town, the evidence seems to point quickly in one direction. Ranger Pearson looks beyond the obvious, following the case from a ranch household to an isolated cattle road. The story was presented as a reenactment adapted from Texas Ranger files, with names and locations fictionalized.
Old Time Retro Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
