Calling All Cars
Opium and Dough Don't Mix
by
Calling All Cars brings listeners into the world of police work through dramatized cases inspired by crime and law enforcement. The series presents the pursuit of suspects and the investigation of offenses as radio drama, with actors portraying the people involved and a narrator guiding the story.
Episodes typically unfold as case narratives, moving from the circumstances of a crime through police investigation and pursuit. The title “Opium and Dough Don't Mix” points to a case involving narcotics and money, presented in the program’s crime-report style.
The listening experience combines suspenseful storytelling with the procedural perspective of law enforcement. Its direct narration and dramatic scenes make it a distinctive example of classic police radio, focused on the unfolding case rather than a continuing cast of fictional detectives.
