The Zero Hour (aka Hollywood Radio Theater) was a 1973–74 American radio drama anthology series hosted by Rod Serling. With tales of mystery, adventure and suspense, the program was broadcast for two seasons. Some of the scripts were written by Serling.
The radio series debuted on September 3, 1973, in syndication, and was picked up by the Mutual Broadcasting System in December. The original format featured five-part dramas broadcast Monday through Friday with the story coming to a conclusion on Friday. Including commercials, each part was approximately 30 minutes long. Mutual affiliates were free to broadcast the series in any available time slot that they wished.
In 1974, still airing five days a week, the program changed to a full story in a single 30-minute installment with the same actor starring throughout the week in all five programs. That format was employed from late April 1974 to the end of the series in July 1974.

dope around the ghetto at that time. Roger had the idea to expand the
operation, and he and Randy werethe ones to do it. He said,
Well, George didn't like it atfirst, but he did like Roger.

the next few years, all badfor me. I got stung out on
junk. There was so much moodaround. Instead of trying to straighten me
out, George threw me away.You were a little fool. I leaned
a photology, use up all themerchandise. I can't help it. I'll
(09:28):
die, I'll go off of lifesomewhere around. Oh Joyce don't leave me.
No, honey, you got itall wrong. I'm not leaving you
are I have no where to go? No, you can't. I'll find
yourself another connection. George had alot of people working for him. He
(09:48):
kept a list, but I couldn'tget my hands on it. The logans
were the main source of distribution.But I couldn't go to Randy. I
was too ashamed. There was noother choice. I had to go to
runj Hey, Randy, when didyou get here a couple of minutes ago?
Who's in the other room? Maketo say? Yeah? But things
are getting hot between the mob andthe FBI. We got a lot of
(10:11):
company out there. Roger, I'mforgetting out. Come on, what's the
matica? No gut? Come on? You know me better than that.
We've got enough money to go legit, So why don't we what and open
up a candy store? Come on, get with it. We're too hard
getting over the street to I'm getback in a room, Raandy. What
(10:33):
did you do to her? Roger? He came to me, she's a
junkie. What do you want?Oh? Hy, I'm sorry? Oh
you're coming with me? Roger.We're finished. And if I ever hitch
you within a mile of this grillagain. I'm gonna kill you, cousin.
You are making a mistake. Don'tbe so. Randy took me away,
(10:54):
He got me cleaned up, savedmy life. Really, we fell
in love, but we weren't togetherfor long. George was getting too big,
and the mob moved in. Allthat we know. It's too bad.
We weren't able to convict the oneswho had him killed, the loss
whooped in on the operation, andRandy was sevenced to ten years in prison.
Somehow Roger got off, and hisluck didn't stop there. Roger made
(11:16):
a lot of money and investments.He took poor Randy's advice and went straight,
or so I thought. He keptcalling saying that he wanted to see
me. Finally I gave in andwe met right here in this house.
Guy, fix you something? No, thank you. I don't drink anymore
either. Why you been? Imean it's been a long time. Oh
(11:37):
you've never cared about how I've beenin the past. Not so not so.
I've always liked you, Mareith.I mean you're a sharp dame.
You got spirit. What do youwant, Roger? Why should I want
anything? I got a maide moneya house, big guys, I want
a factory now, machine parts youso I've heard Randy wrote and told me
God forget Randy. Why should I? Because I can offer you more half
(12:01):
of all? Listen? Did Ihear you right? Meredith? I'm a
man with everything, everything but awife. I don't believe this. What's
past is past. I would marryyou if you were the last man on
earth. Don't make up your mindright away, Okay, Roger, I
thought you were a little what's thisthe maid? I think you said that
(12:22):
to me once. Come in,Lisa, meet Meredith. No, I
was just lady. This is LisaRamile Roger. Can I talk to you
for a minute. It's busneys goinghad Honey. I mean Meredith is an
old friend. Wait a minute,Wait a minute. Where'd you get that
book, Roger? That belonged toGeorge. I inherited it Machine Part Town,
Roger, I did it go?No, you better stay a pretty
young girl like you should hear this. I know what's in that book,
(12:45):
A list I was interested in atonce. It's got the names of all
the pushes who worked for George overStreet. You know you better, I
know, honey, and you betterwise up to your friend here, or
you'll end up like I almost did, a hopeless at it. I made
up my mind. Roger. Hey, Meredith, I wouldn't mention any of
(13:07):
this at the law. I mean, seeing that your name is on this
list, and so it's Randy,I'll get even, but you, Roger.
It may take me the rest ofmy life, but I'll get even.
And that's exactly what I did today. I just hope that Roger dies
but with his luck in Missus Logan, do you know what happened to that
(13:28):
list? Do you know where itis? Now? No inspected. There's
a call from Barbara. She saysit's urgent. Yeah, Barbara bought some
bad news for you. Ka,So do I. Missus Logan doesn't know
where the list is. Maybe shedoes know who killed Logan? What the
(13:50):
coroner hasn't told the police yet.But Logan didn't die of gunshot wills,
he was poisoned. Here, Honey, this is you. Oh George,
you had a nice surprise. Whatis it? It's a tire gauge.
Oh, it's beautiful. It's atire gauge. Well you check the tire
pressure. Well, he helps youget better miling. Oh yeah, well

all. Well, it's something likeour old station wagon, our old station
wagon, except the travel all's afoot and a half shorter, so it's
much easier for you to part ourold station wage. And it has twenty
percent more room inside, more roomfor you and the kids, the more
room for groceries. Will get lotsof more use out of it our old
(14:35):
station with and right now until Julytwentieth, you get four firestone gas saving
steel belted radial tires on most modelsat no extra costs. But where is
it? And worth two hundred ninetydollars suggested retail price? George, where's
the new travel all right outside thewindow? Oh? You git different?

(16:08):
want to talk to me now.Not just yet, missus Logan. I
have a few more questions. Allright, you jumped way ahead in your
story. When did you marry RandyLogan five years ago? He was still
in prison at the time. Whendid he get out? He didn't.
Randy died in prison cancer. Hewould have been released this month. Did
(16:32):
you ever discuss the list with him? No, it was nothing either of
us could do. Roger held allthe cards, and you weren't seeing Roger.
No, not until after Randy died. Whatever happened to Lisa Romano,
Oh, she stopped seeing Roger,I guess, and you never saw her
again. No, miss Logan,did you plan to kill Roger Logan when
(16:55):
you came here today? Yes?Would you mind telling me exactly how it
happened? Well, all right,I came up the walk and rang the
doorbell. Roger was surprised to seeme. Why, Meredith, what a
pleasant surprise? May I come in? Roger? Well? Sure? What
(17:18):
brings you to see me? Afterall this that you made me an offer
a few years ago? Does itstill stand? You're joking? Oh,
I've never been more serious in mylife. Oh really, Mad, that's
why the sudden change your heart?Now you're still Morning Randon. Now my
seelings haven't changed. Let's just saythere's something in it for me that I
(17:41):
want. Name it that list ofname You know you drive a hard bargain.
You won't settle for a life ofluxury and the pleasure of my company
as it goes along with a list. Maybe I can change your mind,
maybe I can change yours. Youknow I've waited a long time for you.
I'm not a patient man usually.I mean, I know what I
(18:03):
want and I know how to getit right. But but you you were
always out of reach. There wasalways someone else. First it was George,
and it was Randy, and wellnow they're both dead. Right.
I wonder if that's a lesson forme. Don't you trust me? Oooh
not with my list? ID onit. One thing I've learned over the
(18:23):
years is question. And I rememberwhat you said the last time you were
here. If it takes me therest of my life, I will get
even. And that's what you say, and that's what I meant. Give
me the list, Roger out,come on, hold on, girl,
put down that gun. I'm notpatient. I want that list. It's
not here, right, it'stroit.I don't believe you. Hey, I
swear it, merit. No,no, no, that's when you follow

missus logan, go on with thestory. Well, a lot happened in
the next few years, all badfor me. I got stung out on
junk. There was so much moodaround. Instead of trying to straighten me
out, George threw me away.You were a little fool. I leaned
a photology, use up all themerchandise. I can't help it. I'll
(09:28):
die, I'll go off of lifesomewhere around. Oh Joyce don't leave me.
No, honey, you got itall wrong. I'm not leaving you
are I have no where to go? No, you can't. I'll find
yourself another connection. George had alot of people working for him. He
(09:48):
kept a list, but I couldn'tget my hands on it. The logans
were the main source of distribution.But I couldn't go to Randy. I
was too ashamed. There was noother choice. I had to go to
runj Hey, Randy, when didyou get here a couple of minutes ago?
Who's in the other room? Maketo say? Yeah? But things
are getting hot between the mob andthe FBI. We got a lot of
(10:11):
company out there. Roger, I'mforgetting out. Come on, what's the
matica? No gut? Come on? You know me better than that.
We've got enough money to go legit, So why don't we what and open
up a candy store? Come on, get with it. We're too hard
getting over the street to I'm getback in a room, Raandy. What
(10:33):
did you do to her? Roger? He came to me, she's a
junkie. What do you want?Oh? Hy, I'm sorry? Oh
you're coming with me? Roger.We're finished. And if I ever hitch
you within a mile of this grillagain. I'm gonna kill you, cousin.
You are making a mistake. Don'tbe so. Randy took me away,
(10:54):
He got me cleaned up, savedmy life. Really, we fell
in love, but we weren't togetherfor long. George was getting too big,
and the mob moved in. Allthat we know. It's too bad.
We weren't able to convict the oneswho had him killed, the loss
whooped in on the operation, andRandy was sevenced to ten years in prison.
Somehow Roger got off, and hisluck didn't stop there. Roger made
(11:16):
a lot of money and investments.He took poor Randy's advice and went straight,
or so I thought. He keptcalling saying that he wanted to see
me. Finally I gave in andwe met right here in this house.
Guy, fix you something? No, thank you. I don't drink anymore
either. Why you been? Imean it's been a long time. Oh
(11:37):
you've never cared about how I've beenin the past. Not so not so.
I've always liked you, Mareith.I mean you're a sharp dame.
You got spirit. What do youwant, Roger? Why should I want
anything? I got a maide moneya house, big guys, I want
a factory now, machine parts youso I've heard Randy wrote and told me
God forget Randy. Why should I? Because I can offer you more half
(12:01):
of all? Listen? Did Ihear you right? Meredith? I'm a
man with everything, everything but awife. I don't believe this. What's
past is past. I would marryyou if you were the last man on
earth. Don't make up your mindright away, Okay, Roger, I
thought you were a little what's thisthe maid? I think you said that
(12:22):
to me once. Come in,Lisa, meet Meredith. No, I
was just lady. This is LisaRamile Roger. Can I talk to you
for a minute. It's busneys goinghad Honey. I mean Meredith is an
old friend. Wait a minute,Wait a minute. Where'd you get that
book, Roger? That belonged toGeorge. I inherited it Machine Part Town,
Roger, I did it go?No, you better stay a pretty
young girl like you should hear this. I know what's in that book,
(12:45):
A list I was interested in atonce. It's got the names of all
the pushes who worked for George overStreet. You know you better, I
know, honey, and you betterwise up to your friend here, or
you'll end up like I almost did, a hopeless at it. I made
up my mind. Roger. Hey, Meredith, I wouldn't mention any of
(13:07):
this at the law. I mean, seeing that your name is on this
list, and so it's Randy,I'll get even, but you, Roger.
It may take me the rest ofmy life, but I'll get even.
And that's exactly what I did today. I just hope that Roger dies
but with his luck in Missus Logan, do you know what happened to that
(13:28):
list? Do you know where itis? Now? No inspected. There's
a call from Barbara. She saysit's urgent. Yeah, Barbara bought some
bad news for you. Ka,So do I. Missus Logan doesn't know
where the list is. Maybe shedoes know who killed Logan? What the
(13:50):
coroner hasn't told the police yet.But Logan didn't die of gunshot wills,
he was poisoned. Here, Honey, this is you. Oh George,
you had a nice surprise. Whatis it? It's a tire gauge.
Oh, it's beautiful. It's atire gauge. Well you check the tire
pressure. Well, he helps youget better miling. Oh yeah, well

international travel all. A new internationaltravel all. Yeah, what's a travel
all. Well, it's something likeour old station wagon, our old station
wagon, except the travel all's afoot and a half shorter, so it's

percent more room inside, more roomfor you and the kids, the more
room for groceries. Will get lotsof more use out of it our old
(14:35):
station with and right now until Julytwentieth, you get four firestone gas saving
steel belted radial tires on most modelsat no extra costs. But where is
it? And worth two hundred ninetydollars suggested retail price? George, where's
the new travel all right outside thewindow? Oh? You git different?

(16:08):
want to talk to me now.Not just yet, missus Logan. I
have a few more questions. Allright, you jumped way ahead in your
story. When did you marry RandyLogan five years ago? He was still
in prison at the time. Whendid he get out? He didn't.
Randy died in prison cancer. Hewould have been released this month. Did
(16:32):
you ever discuss the list with him? No, it was nothing either of
us could do. Roger held allthe cards, and you weren't seeing Roger.
No, not until after Randy died. Whatever happened to Lisa Romano,
Oh, she stopped seeing Roger,I guess, and you never saw her
again. No, miss Logan,did you plan to kill Roger Logan when
(16:55):
you came here today? Yes?Would you mind telling me exactly how it
happened? Well, all right,I came up the walk and rang the
doorbell. Roger was surprised to seeme. Why, Meredith, what a
pleasant surprise? May I come in? Roger? Well? Sure? What
(17:18):
brings you to see me? Afterall this that you made me an offer
a few years ago? Does itstill stand? You're joking? Oh,
I've never been more serious in mylife. Oh really, Mad, that's
why the sudden change your heart?Now you're still Morning Randon. Now my
seelings haven't changed. Let's just saythere's something in it for me that I
(17:41):
want. Name it that list ofname You know you drive a hard bargain.
You won't settle for a life ofluxury and the pleasure of my company
as it goes along with a list. Maybe I can change your mind,
maybe I can change yours. Youknow I've waited a long time for you.
I'm not a patient man usually.I mean, I know what I
(18:03):
want and I know how to getit right. But but you you were
always out of reach. There wasalways someone else. First it was George,
and it was Randy, and wellnow they're both dead. Right.
I wonder if that's a lesson forme. Don't you trust me? Oooh
not with my list? ID onit. One thing I've learned over the
(18:23):
years is question. And I rememberwhat you said the last time you were
here. If it takes me therest of my life, I will get
even. And that's what you say, and that's what I meant. Give
me the list, Roger out,come on, hold on, girl,
