A Curious Experience

In a Civil War fort in New London, Connecticut, Major and Sergeant Rayburn keep things running smoothly until a boy named Robert Wicklow arrives with a tale of his father’s lynching by rebels. He is taken in as a drummer, but his strange behavior raises doubts about his loyalty and leads to a tense climax when a conspiracy comes to light.

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.
