The Damned Thing
Description
Professor Hugh Morgan's death becomes a mystery when three conflicting accounts emerge. His wife claims he was shot, while his mistress insists he drowned, and an Indian guide suggests a snake bite. A young newspaper reporter, however, believes Morgan fell victim to "that damned thing"—proposing an altogether different cause of death remains to be uncovered.
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.
