Double Entry

Originally Aired: December 20, 1945 In Suspense #172, “Double Entry,” a weary bookkeeper named Sam Crockett discovers that balancing ledgers isn't the only gamble he's made—especially when his friend Eddie tries to bail him out with a bet on a 100-to-1 longshot. As the office audits close in, Sam confesses to years of embezzlement, only to be overshadowed by Eddie’s misguided loyalty and a lucky win that turns everything upside down. But when the windfall vanishes, and the real thief is exposed, the story turns from criminal drama to ironic tragedy. A sharp, darkly comic tale about loyalty, crime, and the chaos of trying to set things right.
