The Guilt of the Innocent
Description
A young and poor Russian falls under the influence of a master thief who works a seaport. A naive, and hard up Russian falls for the guiles of a master robber in a harbour town.
A broke young Russian gets drawn in by a skilled criminal who operates around the docks.
Ivan Ivanovitch, an innocent country man hoping to strike it rich, is hired by Grishka Chelkash, an experienced dock thief, to row a load of stolen goods to a steamship outside the harbor. Ivan doesn't realize what he's getting into until it's too late. When he sees how much Grishka has been paid for the loot, he demands a larger share.
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.
