What happens
Blue Murder is an Australian live television play which aired in 1959 on ABC. Broadcast live in Sydney on 2 December 1959, a kinescope ("telerecording") was made of the broadcast so it could be shown in Melbourne (it is not known if it was also shown on ABC's then-new stations in Adelaide and Brisbane). It is not known if the kinescope recording still exists. Filmink magazine wrote "it sounds as if it would be great, campy fun." It was one of several thrillers filmed in early Australian television.
