Legend of Phoenix Hill
Description
In 1900, Dr. Arnold and his adopted son Lee embark on a Chinese expedition to find Han dynasty relics. Lee is haunted by visions of a woman whose face he sees in an ancient mirror. Against Dr. Arnold's better judgment, Lee insists on joining the expedition to save her from the past. The discovery of her preserved body leads to Lee's ultimate sacrifice.
In 1900, Dr. Arnold and his adopted son Lee travel to China to hunt for ancient Han dynasty treasures. Lee keeps seeing a mysterious woman's face in an old mirror that haunts his dreams. Even though Dr. Arnold thinks it's a bad idea, Lee won't give up on joining the trip because he believes he must rescue her from long ago. When they find her body perfectly kept after all these years, Lee ends up giving his life to save her.
Dr. Samuel Arnold, an archeologist at Wyndham University, tries to discourage his 20-year-old adopted son, Lee, from accompanying him, in the early 1900s, to China’s Hunan province to dig for human remains over 2,000 years old. Others in the group believe that the presence of Lee, of Oriental extraction, will bring the expedition bad luck. But Lee prevails, and so does bad luck in the forms of a railroad wreck, an earthquake and a typhoon.
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.
