Happy Death Day

Description

Paul Verner, married to an overweight but wealthy Marge, is secretly courting her half sister, Valerie. Scheming to do away with Marge, Paul concocts an elaborate plot involving hypnosis, under the influence of which Marge begins to believe that she will commit suicide on her next birthday. Convinced she is going mad, Marge visits a psychiatrist who, after several interviews, is able to get an inkling of what Paul and Valerie are up to.

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.
