It was broadcast on the CBS network (May 25, 1943), as a program in the popular radio anthology series, Suspense.
During one phonecall attempt, her phone line accidentally crosses with another line, and she overhears a murder plot being planned to kill an unknown man's nagging wife at 11:00 that night.
Frantically trying to get somebody believe her and find out who the intended victim might be, she spends the next 20 minutes relentlessly telephoning the phone company, her husband's office, the police, et al. -- all without results.
So who is the murder victim and will Mrs. Stevenson succeed in saving her, or is she forever destined to hear, "Sorry, Wrong Number"?
Accordingly, we offer for your approval, the 3 questions listed below about the famous radio play, Sorry, Wrong Number?
Please choose your answers from any of the 4 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", "C", or "D" (if applicable!) for each of the following question.
Ok, once again, lock the doors, shutter the windows, and hang up the landline -- NOW!

++ QUOTES OF THE DAY ++
“Operator! Operator! — I — I’m in
desperate trouble — I — I don’t dare speak louder. I — There’s someone
listening. Can you hear me now? But you’ve got to hear me. Oh — please…
You’ve got to help me. There’s someone in this house — someone who’s
going to murder me — and you’ve got to get in touch with the — Oh,
there it is. Did you hear it? He’s put it down. He’s put down the
extension phone. He’s coming up the stairs. Give me the police
department. Give me the police. I can hear him. Hurry — hurry AHHHHH!”
-- by
Mary Shelley: "Agnes Moorhead's character
annoys me to no end in this episode and I usually end up rooting for
the bad guys."[Source: Various citations]
