Hit and Run

Ruletta Pound, who posed as witness to the “accident,” tries to blackmail Congressman Paul Foster, driver of the fancy red sports car that killed Louie LaPeer, the Flopper. Because he had his mistress with him, the congressman fled the scene. Though the scandal could ruin his career, he has no intention of paying the $150,000 Ruletta demands to keep quiet. Instead, he concocts another way of dealing with her.

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.
