夜班编辑 (1946)

一位报社编辑每晚会在广播节目中讲一些报纸故事，这次他讲的故事是：

一位警探，虽然深爱着妻子和儿子，却和一个交际花有染。一天他俩将车停在偏远的路边，正巧目击了一起谋杀案。警探由于做贼心虚，没有去抓杀人嫌犯，也没有报警。后来，警局让他负责这个案子，她发现他只有自己直面作证，才能抓住杀人嫌犯，也才能不然无辜的人蒙冤。(文：life_is_good@YDY)

"Night Editor" was based on the already existing radio program in which a newspaper editor would recount the 'inside story' of some bit newspaper story, and later became a television series: This time, a night editor of a newspaper is telling a story to a young reporter, who is neglecting his job and wife and beginning to drink too much. The story begins as a police detective, although devoted to his wife and young son, has entered into an affair with a society girl, also married, and while they are parked out in the boonies on a lonely road, they witness a murder. The detective, because of the circumstances of being where he is for the reason he is there, does not attempt to catch the killer and does not report the crime. He is later assigned the case and soon realizes that an innocent man is about to take the blame, and the only way he can clear him is to arrest the killer and become a witness against him. The story-teller also has a vested interest in the old case.
