Postage Due

When mailman George MacCreedy appears at a house with a World War II–vintage letter, he finds the addressee’s brother surprisingly eager to get his hands on it. At the sender’s posh mansion, an old servant would only be too happy to take the missive. George decides to turn it over to the dead letter office, but a late night phone call advises him otherwise.

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.
