The Jataka
Description
After having been given several conflicting reasons by his servants for her mentor's mysterious absence, a young professor begins to suspect foul play.
A young teacher starts to think something bad happened to his mentor when his helpers keep giving him different stories about why the mentor disappeared.
Geraldine MacElroy has just finished lecturing at the University of Delhi where her old friend Professor Tankling is translating “The Jataka,” the story of the birth of Buddha. When the professor disappears, the most obvious conclusion is to believe that Jack, his brilliant young assistant, has murdered him. Why? Because everyone knows that he’s done it before.
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.
