“Hi, this is Randy Stone. I cover the nightbeat for the Chicago Star. My stories start in many different ways. This one began…”
Opening with a mixture of kettledrums and jazz clarinet, Nightbeat was a 1950s drama about a newspaper columnist, narrating his own half-hour tales of writing a late-night column.
In this thirty-minute adventure series, Frank Lovejoy played Randy Stone, a reporter for the Chicago Star. He cared only for human interest and the people who suffered through life’s hard knocks, with tales of trouble, tenderness, crime and races against time.
