The Singing Walls: A Melody of Mystery and Murder

Suspense - Radio’s Outstanding Theater of Thrills

In this chilling episode of Suspense, a young man, Tom Cochran, finds himself in a desperate situation after waking up from what he thought was a nightmare. The only problem is, the strange events that unfolded in his dream might have been real—and now he's in a serious jam. Was there a murder? And why does that eerie music seem to follow him wherever he goes?

Tom, played by Dane Clark, seeks help from his friend Danny Sullivan, a San Francisco homicide detective, played by Preston Foster. Sullivan is willing to lend a hand, but his loyalty has limits. If Cochran is guilty, Sullivan will have no choice but to arrest him.

As they work to unravel the mystery, clues emerge in the most bizarre ways—a man with a frog-like voice, the haunting sound of the "singing walls," and a strange location known as Joe's Place. With each revelation, the tension mounts, leading to the discovery of a body and evidence that increasingly points to Tom.

Adapted from a story by Cornell Woolrich, The Singing Walls expertly weaves suspense, guilt, and the supernatural into an unforgettable tale. Directed by Ted Bliss, with Bernard Herrmann providing a haunting musical score, this episode will leave listeners questioning what is real and what is imagined.
