Stand By for Crime is a crime drama radio show from the early 1950s that adopts a "true story" style of delivery, reminiscent of classic crime shows such as Gangbusters and Mr. District Attorney. Although not a true crime show, it features a very believable news anchor named Chuck Morgan, played by Glen Langen, who works at a Los Angeles radio station called KOP. He is friends with Lieutenant Bill Miggs of the police force who tips him off about crime news. Carol Curtis, played by Adele Jurgens, is Morgan's "Gal Friday" who also gets involved in these crime capers. The trio encounters various characters, mostly with shady backgrounds. The dialogue is well-written and engaging, with enjoyable old-school repartee between Morgan and Curtis.</p><p>The radio show was broadcast in the early 1950s, while a related American television police drama aired on ABC from January 11 to August 27, 1949. The TV series starred veteran newsman Myron Wallace, who later became known as Mike Wallace, and was notable for being the first program to be transmitted from Chicago to New York City. A total of 1,000 episodes have been documented for the radio show, and it remains a popular and intriguing listen for fans of crime dramas from the golden age of radio.
