by William Donaldson Smith.
Performed by The Station Radio Players

James Anderson is roused from sleep by his wife, who has heard sounds. 'Wake up', she cries. 'There are burglars downstairs'. Mr. Anderson, armed with a pistol, goes downstairs, turns on the light of the dining-room and covers two men who are apparently fighting together. Each man in turn declares that the other man is the burglar and that he came on the scene to aid the household. There is no proof. Mr. Anderson decides to detain-both until the police come, but this takes time, as the village is two miles away. Finally, Mrs. Anderson hits upon a plan.
Scene: A Country House, two miles from the nearest village.
Time: Midnight.
