The Mysterious Stranger

In a superstitious Austrian village in the early 1590s, a young lawyer's efforts to help a disgraced priest and his niece only intensify distrust, culminating in their ruin and a grim lesson about human justice and morality.

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.
