Astonishingly bleak episode where Lucille Ball stars as a not very successful actress in LA who makes her living posing as school girls enticing dirty old men into cars, conking them over the head and stealing their money. One night she is picked up by a man who turns out to be a serial killer... she tries to expose him without exposing herself, fails, so tries to kill him. Ultimately he kills her but then dies in a trap she sets for him!!
It's a powerful atmospheric tale with Ball very good in a completely untypical role and stands as an example of what was good about radio at its best.
