Stranded on a lonely stretch of road when their car breaks down, Marian and Janet are taken by an oldtimer in a wagon to the strange ghost town of Mirado.

Their panic grows with each turn of events, revealing one live ghost.

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.
