# Every Shot Counts

When a mysterious woman arrives at George Valentine's office with a pearl-handled revolver and a confession she refuses to make, our hard-boiled detective finds himself caught between a trigger-happy killer and a web of lies that grows more tangled with each passing minute. In this tense installment, every shot counts—literally—as George must determine whether the gun in her trembling hands is an instrument of justice or guilt. The office grows claustrophobic as the rain drums against the windows and the clock ticks toward a deadline neither George nor his uninvited guest can afford to miss. You'll hear the distinctive scrape of a chair, the click of a revolver's chamber, and the breathless silence before a confession that could change everything.

*Let George Do It* captured American audiences during the golden age of radio when detectives prowled shadowy streets in listeners' imaginations, and Bob Bailey's portrayal of George Valentine became the voice of post-war cynicism mixed with earnest justice-seeking. Airing on the Mutual Network during the late 1940s, the show thrived on tight writing, naturalistic dialogue, and a protagonist who felt refreshingly human—broke, bewildered, but never beaten. This episode exemplifies the show's mastery of confined-space drama, where tension builds through conversation and implication rather than external action, a hallmark of radio's intimate storytelling power.

Slip on your headphones and step into a world of shadow and suspicion where one wrong word, one mistimed revelation, could mean the difference between solving a crime and becoming the next victim. *Every Shot Counts* awaits.
