Let George Do It

Description

A traveler named Perry Foster gets stuck in a small New England town where he meets Eleanor Rawlings, who owns a dress shop and captures his heart. After Eleanor's husband turns up dead, she tells Perry about money she's going to inherit. Perry gets pulled into her life, but he starts to wonder about the man she used to love and whether her husband really died the way it seems.

While waiting for a local mechanic to locate a new clip, Foster meets gift shop owner Eleanor Crosbie and immediately falls for her. She is willing to marry him if he will help her murder her elderly husband, whose quarter-million life insurance policy is hers when he dies. Foster is tempted, until he has another conversation with the mechanic.

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.
