About this episode

Originally Aired: March 2, 1943 In Suspense #31, “The Night Reveals,” fire insurance investigator Harry Jordan begins to suspect his wife Marie of sneaking out at night—coinciding eerily with a series of arson fires across the city. As inconsistencies in her alibis mount, Harry uncovers chilling clues: matchbooks hidden in her purse, suspicious newspaper clippings, and a scorched family locket found at a fire scene. But the truth proves more twisted than he imagines. Is Marie the arsonist—or is Harry himself losing his grip? A searing psychological drama by Cornell Woolrich, brought to life by Robert Young and Margot in a blaze of suspicion and denial. Cast: Robert Young, Margot Tags: Suspense, thriller, RobertYoung, CornellWoolrich, pyromania, arson, marriage, oldtimeradio, 1940sradio, psychological, noir, classicdrama, suspensepodcast, gaslight, locket, insomnia
