Suspense – Will You Make a Bet with Death? (#16)
Suspense – 11/10/42, episode 16

A young man who needs money to continue a failing venture makes a bet with his uncle if he can escape being murdered… directly or indirectly by his uncle. The prize is $25,000 and his life. In today’s US dollars, that’s almost $475,000.
The script was used again in the BBC’s Appointment with Fear radio series 1943-10-14.
The cast:
Michael Fitzmaurice (Bob Penderel), Lesley Woods (Betty), Nicholas Joy (John Destry), Ted de Corsia (Police sergeant), Charles Slattery (Inspector Mullen), Ted Osborne (Signature Voice)
This is one of the few Carr stories that was repeated after he left the series. There is a missing hour-long Suspense version of the story broadcast in 1948. That 1948 script was re-worked by Les Crutchfield, who would become better known for many of his 1950s CBS scripts for many series, but especially for Gunsmoke.
In 1952, Carr’s novel The Nine Wrong Answers was an expansion of this script.
