The Merry Widower

Originally Aired: October 12, 1944 In Suspense #113, “The Merry Widower,” George Munsey—dreamer, would-be aristocrat, and frustrated husband—begins to believe he’s a prince destined for greatness. Caught between two women and haunted by a waltz from a popular operetta, George’s delusions spiral into murder and deceit. But when his lies unravel, he’s left facing a fate worse than justice: the lonely grandeur of his own madness. A grim and wry thriller where reality and fantasy dance toward a chilling end.
