Strange New Tomorrow

The holocaust on Earth has taken place countless generations ago. The few remaining humans survive by capturing from other planets a constant supply of healthy bodies, hoping they can be used to weed out Earth’s radioactive poison. But the population continues to dwindle, and Gen. Vardon orders Earth’s one major scientist, Dr. Ralph Tremayne, to build an army of war-like robots with which to conquer a clean planet. If the reluctant Tremayne refuses, Vardon swears he will have the doctor’s beautiful young wife, Una, a humanoid created by Tremayne, destroyed and buried in a forgotten grave.

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.
