Tonight’s episode is The Headless Dead. This episode is from Dark Fantasy, a series that aired for 31 episodes between November of 1941 to June of 1942. It stars Ben Morris, Eleanor Naylor Corin, Fred Wayne, Garland Moss, and Murillo Scofield. It was written by Scott Bishop, and Tom Paxton was the announcer.

When Swifte goes to lock up the rest of the building, Holman decides to remain in the chapel a little longer and falls asleep in a pew. When he wakes up, he discovers that he is locked in, and long, bony arms are pushing up the flagstones from the floor…

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
