# Framed For Hanging

George Valentine faces his darkest hour yet in this September 1951 broadcast—accused of a murder he didn't commit, with a noose waiting in the shadows. As our quick-witted, ever-resourceful detective finds himself on the wrong side of the law, the stakes have never been higher. The evidence is damning, the witnesses seemingly bulletproof, and time is running out before justice becomes execution. Listeners will be drawn into a labyrinth of deception and double-crosses, where every alibi crumbles and every lead turns to ash. The tension crackles through the airwaves as George must use all his cunning—and perhaps a healthy dose of his trademark charm—to expose the real killer before the law's machinery grinds toward its terrible conclusion.

*Let George Do It* stands as one of the golden age of radio's most beloved detective series, and for good reason. Running from 1946 through 1954 on the Mutual Broadcasting System, the show captured the cynical, street-smart atmosphere of post-war noir perfectly. Bob Bailey's portrayal of George Valentine—urbane, quick-thinking, perpetually entangled in cases far more complicated than they first appear—became the gold standard for radio detectives. The show's writers crafted intricate plots that rewarded careful listeners, and this episode exemplifies their mastery of misdirection and dramatic irony. During an era when audiences gathered around their sets for weekly adventures, *Let George Do It* delivered sophisticated mystery storytelling that treated listeners like intelligent adults.

Don't miss this electrifying episode where George Valentine must prove his innocence before the final gavel falls. Tune in for a masterclass in classic radio suspense—you'll be on the edge of your seat from the first sinister note of the opening theme.
