Every Blossom Dies
Description
A cheerful police officer gets blamed for killing someone. He discovers clues that show him the terrible truth - he has two different personalities, and his evil side murdered someone while his good side didn't know. He confronts his dark half, admits what really happened, and quits being a cop to live peacefully with his wife.
Police detectives Bill Maitland and Jerry Ferris are assigned to investigate the murder of nightclub singer Georgia Temple, shot three times with a .22 pistol. As their investigation proceeds, Ferris becomes alarmed when the evidence—identification of his voice by a blind woman, a note written to his wife, his unexplained purchase of some flashy clothes—indicates that his partner, Maitland, could be the murderer. Maitland, however, remains completely unconcerned.
A once-happy detective is suddenly accused of murder. He finds evidence that leads him to the ultimate horror of his own dual personality, which has caused him to commit the crime without his knowledge. He faces his dark side, accepts the truth, and resigns from the force to lead a quieter life with his wife.
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.
