Originally broadcast November 16, 1950 on the CBS Radio Network. "On a Country Road" starts with a couple driving home at night using a short cut on an unfamiliar road. Their radio informs them that a psychotic woman patient who has a history of murder has escaped from a nearby institution armed with a meat cleaver. Just then their car comes to a stop—out of gas—and a woman starts pounding on it and yelling, “Let me in! Let me in!”
