February 5, 1952
A simple brass button, common to any military parade ground, is the focus on solving the latest featured crime in the Black Museum.
A young woman with artistic inclinations is approached by a soldier. She was found dead two days later. The shocking news sets the sleepy little town on edge. A manhunt begins, with a brass button playing its key role to find a killer. A short list of men who were off base focuses the attention of Scotland Yard inspectors.Is it the corporal who delivers mail? Or the small, nervous private who was absent without leave, and reluctant to tell where he was? More questioning from other witnesses is sure to bring the matter to an end.
Stay tuned for the court decision, and the final word from Orson Wells.
