A Departmental Case

An aging Texas official recalls how he reluctantly dragged out his gun to protect Amanda, the bride of a gunman whose violence had driven her to seek help. But his story makes the narrator suspect that Amanda's motives were less than innocent.

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.
