My Wife Doesn’t Understand Me

Description

A research scientist, unhappy with his marriage, finds solace in the arms of his new secretary. But she has more than love on her mind.

A married scientist who isn't happy at home starts a romance with his new assistant, but she has secret plans beyond just love.

Horace Bellows, 60 years old and dissatisfied with his work and his marriage, is enchanted by his new employee, Ann Jackson, a 30-year-old stenographer. While his wife, Marjory, spends her evenings at committee meetings, Horace spends his time with Ann, first complaining that his wife doesn’t understand him and then talking incessantly about his chemical discoveries, for which he never really got due credit. But, when Marjory exposes the real reason for Ann’s interest in him, Horace learns that his wife is the smart one after all.

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.
