Randolf Watson owes the syndicate $50,000. He must pay it in a few days, or else. His wealthy Aunt Ethel refuses to help, even though she is most generous to his twin brother, Rudolf.

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.
