A Coffin For The Devil

A professor and a young couple try to determine what really happened 100 years ago when a stranger ordered from a mortician a coffin of unusual design for himself. With an inside lock and hinges, the coffin also had enough room for its occupant to move arms. The stranger carried it to a cemetery, apparently walking with it through the gates.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
