calling all cars/Old Time Radio

"Crime does not pay..."

Those four words sum up the raison d'etre for "Calling All Cars," a popular crime drama heard over CBS Pacific Network stations from November 29, 1933 to September 8, 1939. In these dramatizations, the point was driven home time and time again that a life of a crime was a life wasted, period -- and anyone venturing off the straight-and-narrow was fated to meet a sad and sorry end. (I'm certain the show's producers would have even admonished that "the weed of crime bears bitter fruit" had that sentiment not already been expressed by another program of the same era.)
