The Star Killers

Dr. Mary Jane Marrisset, a Nobel Prize–winning physicist, helps a stranger fix his stalled automobile. When he learns who she is, Eric Marshall proposes marriage, and she accepts. Later, he admits he’s an advance man from the planet Arshanah, looking for a place for his four billion people to move. He has betrayed them, though, by marrying an earthling. When he is murdered by another Arshanahan, Mary Jane becomes the chief suspect.

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.
