Beautiful actress Virginia Stewart is in England to make a film. But before long both the film’s male lead and director, after the shrill shriek of a mandrake plant is heard, are found dead near the base of the tower attached to “haunted” Wicklow Manor, where the film is being made. However, it is Virginia, not the ghost, who is suspected, since she was the last person to see each of the two men alive.
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.
