The Burning Whirlwind

An elderly woman who trusts easily takes eight million dollars out of the bank and hides it in her house. But the person who helped her move the money wants it for himself and pays a crook to trick her and steal it.

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.
