Revenge Is Sweet
Description
A man who used to be a crook finds himself locked up for something he didn't do. After getting out, he tries to live an honest life by getting a job at a gym. But someone at the gym doesn't like him and sets him up to look like he stole a woman's purse. Fed up with being blamed for things he didn't do, the man decides he's willing to go back to jail if it means getting back at the person who framed him.
A man with a 20-year prison record working as an orderly at a health club is falsely accused of stealing a wallet. Although the wallet is later found, he's fired and unable to secure employment elsewhere. He vows to give his accuser an anxious moment or two; he still has a pass key to all the health club's lockers.
A life of crime, even in the past, can get you into trouble. A former swindler winds up in custody for a crime he did not commit. He tries to walk on the straight and the narrow once he is free by working in an athletic club. But a club member takes a dislike to him and frames him for stealing a purse. Finally driven over the edge, he is prepared to risk prison again to avenge himself.
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.
