The Cat’s Paw
Description
Ross Parker asks his top agent to play the role of Dr. Samuel Jeffreys, the nation’s leading nuclear physicist, as a lure to draw out a double agent in the national security system. There’s just one catch: If captured, will the ersatz Jeffreys be able to fake his way through a certain dose of sodium pentothal?
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.
