Night Beat was one of radio's finest series for its writing, creativity, production, and its performances. The series starred Frank Lovejoy, in a role that seemed perfect for him, a reporter (Randy Stone) covering overnight stories in Chicago. Randy encountered all kinds of people in all kinds of difficult situations. He got his best stories by trying to help them or help make things right. The series had its occasional funny or lighthearted moments but it could also be gritty and dark. Frank Worth's highly atmospheric music marvelously evoked the night world in which Randy Stone worked. - Archive.org
