Seeking a mystery show with a lion
As a kid in the 1980s, I remember hearing a radio rebroadcast of a mystery show. The story involved an escaped lion (from the zoo or circus I’m not sure) that was attacking and killing people. The roaring of the lion haunted me at the time.
I don’t know what series it was— Lights Out, Inner Sanctum, something else? I’ve searched the internet, but I haven’t found the show.
Can anyone help?
