The Golden Ball/Just Three Words was episode 18 of season 2 of of NBC's Fireside Theatre. This was an anthology series comprising 30 minute episodes where short stand-alone stories were dramatised. This episode had two story segments, the first segment of which was an dramatisation of Agatha Christie's The Golden Ball. The episode was directed by John Reinhardt whose story "Just Three Words" is dramatised in the second segment. The episode was broadcast on 17 Jan 1950. Like many television productions of this era, this one is not known to have survived and not much is known about it. However, as the Golden Ball has a tight self-contained plot, it is plausible that the scriptwriter could have followed Christie's original story closely.
