The Devil’s Brew
Description
Nineteen-year-old Dusty Lane, against his parents’ wishes, has signed a big league baseball contract with the Cougars. With a batting average of .392, he’s soon everybody’s hero. But then he’s knocked unconscious by a baseball. While in a coma, he meets a Mr. Conjureman, who says he has failed “to honor thy father and thy mother.” Furthermore, Mr. C. says, Dusty must either sign with his team, the Hellcats, or never get another major league hit.
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.
