Suspense #391, "Love, Honor, or Murder,"

Helen and Harry Lewis face a life-changing decision when Harry, a struggling cab driver, discovers $12,000 in cash left behind by one of his regular passengers, Sidney Walker, a prominent news commentator. After seven years of disappointing marriage and financial hardship, Helen sees this as their chance to escape their miserable existence. While Harry knows he should return the wallet to his company before Walker reports it missing, Helen desperately tries to convince him to keep the money, even threatening to leave him if he doesn't.

As the clock ticks, Helen takes matters into her own hands, calling both Harry's cab company and Walker's home to determine whether the loss has been reported. She discovers that Walker follows a rigid schedule and will be at the radio station at five minutes to ten for his nightly broadcast. With this information, Helen begins to formulate a plan that goes far beyond simply keeping the money, pushing the couple toward a dangerous point of no return where love, honor, and potentially murder collide.
