Description

A man who works in advertising tries over and over to photograph a stunning model, but every picture comes out empty. While he keeps trying, he falls deeply in love with her, only to discover what she truly is.

Advertising man Sky Harris, who will be made a vice-president of his agency if he’s able to create a successful campaign for the new Bianchi cosmetics account, meets a beautiful model while riding home on his commuter train (albeit a little tipsy from a visit to his favorite watering place). But when he arranges to see her again—in his city apartment—and tries to take her photograph, all that his camera records is blankness.

An advertising professional makes futile attempts to take the pictures of a beautiful model as all her photos turn out blank. In the process, he falls hopelessly in love with her until her real nature is revealed.

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.
