Richard Diamond Private Detective "Tom Waxman Murdered" (June 26, 1949)


A mail bomb has been sent to the Waxman family, killing Tom Waxman. His brother Phil is accused of the crime, but Diamond suspects that the Labor Assistance League is behind it. After the case, Dick Powell sings in Yiddish! An announcement is made that the program is switching to Saturdays. The script is essentially the same as the "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar" program of July 14, 1953 (see cat. #16553). + A union meeting is in full swing. Tom Waxman, a charismatic young speaker has the audience in the palm of his hand, but two men have other plans on who should control the union. That evening a parcel arrives at Tom's house. The parcel turns out to be a bomb. It kills Tom and severely injures his fiancé and future mother-in-law. The main suspect is Tom's brother Phil, but Richard Diamond knows this is ridiculous and sets out to prove that the police are wrong in their suspicions.
