His uncle, Lord Percy, requests his presence under circumstances so strange that despite their reluctance to leave Virginia and their home, neither Sunday nor Lord Henry questions the necessity for going at once to Lord Percy.

Mother Young heard on NBC 3:30 P.M. EST PERRY MASON. Delia Street heard on CBS 2:15 P.M. EST Pepper and his family are overjoyed that Edie Hoyt's trip to South America was not a wild goose chase after all; she has really found her husband Andy who disappeared some time ago after a plane crash. Impatiently the Youngs await word from Edie and pilot Jerry Feldman who flew her down to South America as to when they'll be coming back. But Edie has found that her troubles were not ended merely because she found Andy. The harrowing months during which Andy was lost have left their mark on his whole personality. He has changed almost beyond recognition, perhaps beyond any help that Edie might be able to give him. In spite of many red herrings drawn across the trail and many narrow escapes from death, Perry Mason, working with the metropolitan police, is drawing constantly closer to the mysterious man who controls almost all the criminal operations in the city. Intensive investigation of the drug racket has turned up many clues for both Perry and the police. With the help of his secretary, Delia Street, Perry begins to narrow down the possible roads to the man he is after. A photograph which comes into Perry's possession provides him with the single clue that may turn out to be the most important — a picture that proves the link between socialite Allyn Whitlock and the crime ring.

Beth Lambert heard on NBC 3:15 P.M. EST Carolyn Kramer seems unable to extricate herself from the increasingly tragic set of circumstances which have followed on the court's decision to award custody of her son, Skippy, to her divorced husband, Dwight Kramer. When Dwight plans to move to Chicago, taking Skippy with him, Carolyn becomes hysterical in the face of the realization that this will make it almost impossible for her to see Skippy. She takes the child with her for a day's outing and on impulse drives over the state line, knowing that somehow she must prevent Dwight from taking Skippy out of her life. But so far there is no practical way for Carolyn to do this. Will she ever regain custody of her son? Although Beth Lambert has been the cause of much suffering in Dr. Jim Brent's recent past, he finds himself impelled to try to help her while she is on trial with the rest of the Rockwell gang for treason. Jim is particularly upset when Rockwell manages very cleverly to put the chief portion of the blame on Beth — an accusation which Jim knows is unfounded, although he knows better than anyone else the degree of Beth's complicity in Rockwell's plot. Meanwhile, Jocelyn McLeod, the sick girl in whom Jim has recently become interested, faces possibly tragic news of her physical condition. Will Jim, who has aided many other people, be able to help Jocelyn? ROMANCE OF HELEN TRENT. Helen Trent heard on CBS 12:30 P.M. EST ROSEMARY. Rosemary heard on CBS 11:45 A.M.
