The Lone Survivor
Description
A man survives a plane crash in the ocean but loses his memory. A cop, an airline boss, and a doctor team up to discover his identity.
The lone survivor of a plane crash at sea cannot remember who he is. A police detective, an airline executive, and a doctor work to find out.
The combination of a hole in its fuselage and clear air turbulence causes the crash of a plane en route to Hawaii. All on board are killed, except one man found swimming in the nude in the ocean. The man, hospitalized, seems to be suffering from a severe case of amnesia, is unable to identify himself or explain why he was on the plane. He is a cooperative patient—until the police try to fingerprint him and have his photograph taken.
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.
