Welcome to The Line Up, "where under the cold, glaring lights pass the innocent, the vagrant, the thief, and the murderer."
This tightly scripted radio series traced the activities Lieutenant Ben Guthrie (Bill Johnstone) and his Sergeants Matt Greb (Wally Maher) and Peter Carger (Jack Moyles). Ride along with the squad and follow the parade of arrests they make, through witness identifications, subsequent investigations, and the apprehension of additional criminals—all eventually culminating in the cracking (and closing) of the day's case—a police procedural at its finest.
