  1. Ep 19380323

    Mar 23, 1938 · The Dream

  2. Ep 19380406

    Apr 6, 1938 · Cat Wife

    The script was used on the program previously. The story was voted by listeners "the best" "Lights Out" story. A man's cat-like wife goes too far. The show features a fine performance by Karloff and an even better one by the "Cat Wife," who receives no billing.
