The Devil-God

Description

After inheriting a sprawling ranch, a young couple discover that the estate is home to a wild and beautiful Palomino stallion. What they don't know is that the horse belongs to a powerful deity who is angered by their attempts to claim the steed as their own.

A young man and woman get a big ranch when someone dies and leaves it to them. They find a stunning golden horse living there and try to make it theirs. But the horse belongs to a mighty god who gets mad when they try to take it.

New Englanders, Jeff and Katie Moore, take over her father’s ranch somewhere in the Southwest. They are almost immediately faced with a crisis over a prize-winning palomino her father had owned. Their superstitious Indian ranch hands say the horse, which had been struck by lightning and its rider killed, must go. Otherwise the Indians maintain the spirits they believe in will cause trouble. The Moores soon wish they had listened to what the Indians were saying.

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.
