In this exciting film, the Lone Ranger and Tonto intervene in an attack on a stage-coach in which a notorious thief is known to be travelling under guard; but they are puzzled to find the only occupant of the coach is a woman wearing a widow's black veil. Who is she? Has she any connection with the professor whom they meet looking for dangerous spiders, tarantulas, and 'black widows'?

[Starring] Michael Gwynn, Sheila Burrell, Jane Wenham

From the BBC's Midland television studio

(Paul Hardwick appears by permission of the Governors of the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon)

At 8.35
Harry, an accountant with a Midlands industrial firm, succumbs to the temptation to steal eighty pounds from the office. Like other people who have made the same sort of mistake, he fully intends to pay it back. But at the start of the play, on one Friday evening, the boss looks into Harry's office and asks him to have his completed accounts ready by Monday morning. So Harry has the weekend in which to get himself out of his predicament, for the money has been spent on school fees....
Tonight's play is written by Eileen Hall, a writer new to television, who lives in Nottingham and for several years has been a teacher at various schools. First heard as a radio play in the Midland Home Service in 1957, it will be produced for television from the BBC's Midland Studios by Peter Dews.
