The Flame Blue Glove

Originally Aired: December 15, 1949

Suspense #363, "The Flame Blue Glove," stars Lana Turner as Shadow, a former detective who left the business when she married Jimmy Conway. Her former boss Dutch refuses to let an old case rest, convinced that Jimmy murdered his wealthy first wife Eloise, whose death was ruled a suicide after she consumed dissolved sleeping tablets on New Year's Eve. Dutch believes one of Jimmy's three lady friends, Kathy Dane, Millicent Taylor, or Judy Fleetwood, may have been involved, and he has evidence: a distinctive flame blue glove found at the scene. Shadow had once tailed Jimmy for Eloise and knows about his romantic entanglements, but she refused to testify at the inquest.

Now Dutch pressures Shadow to help him investigate, using her knowledge of the case and her desire to prove Jimmy's innocence as leverage. Despite her misgivings and Jimmy's assurances that he never loved anyone before her, Shadow agrees to work with Dutch for one week. As she begins to reexamine the evidence and the women in Jimmy's past, she must confront the terrifying possibility that her husband might be guilty after all.
