Black Museum – The Jack Handle. ep19, 1952.

Dramatic storys from the Gallery of Death, presented by Orson Wells. We are taken to a time during the war, when American troops found out of the way cafes to spend their time after blackout hours. A boy and a girl ride out in the night to find someplace to be alone. Looking for thrills, the two try to find victims to roll for their money.

After a thump on the head, and the unconscious body tossed into the river, the two cover their tracks as best as they can. Feeling confident, the crime spree rages on as more victims are found. The trail of bodies doesn’t go unnoticed, but how will the police put an end to the sensless murders? Is there a pattern that can be latched on to? Is there a trap that can be set?

The desserter and his gal are picked up, identified, and the excuses and finger pointing begin. Sit tight for the courtroom drama to see if the dastardly duo go down together, or if they’ll try to pin the blame on the other.
