Blackmail

Three blackmailers try to extract a fortune from a young movie star with a photo they have of her embracing a notorious mobster. Maidey Rambeau, a fast-rising young film star, can’t figure out how the blackmailers obtained the photo. She doesn’t want to pay the $100,000 being demanded, but her good friend, her hairdresser, believes that if she doesn’t, her image as “Miss Clean” will be destroyed. Tony Carbo, wanted for hijacking and murder, claims he can straighten everything out. Maidey is interested.

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.
