Murder with Malice

Heavily in debt and unable to get money from his wealthy father, Mark Prentiss attempts a desperate scheme. Marge, his twin sister, is easily susceptible to hypnosis, and Mark knows the technique to put her under. Hoping their mutual hatred of their father will be enough of a subconscious incentive, Mark hypnotizes Marge and commands her to murder their father in her sleep.

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.
