The Diamond Necklace
Description
Ostentation has tragic consequences for a couple with modest means as they borrow a diamond necklace to show off at a party. They end up losing it and the husband is forced to take a huge loan from an evil financier. But a mere debt is not their salvation as murder, death by accident and suicide soon follow in its wake.
A poor couple borrows an expensive diamond necklace to look wealthy at a fancy party. When they lose the necklace, the husband must borrow a large amount of money from a dangerous lender. Their debt problems lead to murder, accidental death, and suicide.
A couple mistakenly invited to a party borrows an expensive necklace, loses it, and faces years of financial hardship repaying the replacement.
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.
