The Vanishing Point

Description

Dr. William Carstairs, in Munich to deliver a paper on dislocated ionic particles in a negatively charged nucleus, tries to locate a Dr. Franz Wilhelm Klust who, in the 1930s, wrote a monograph on the disappearance of matter. While conducting his search, Carstairs is kidnapped, beaten and threatened with death. Klust, it seems, is a captive of Germany’s new National Restoration Party which is demanding that he develop the ultimate weapon that will give Germany another try at conquering the world.

An exciting World War II story follows an American physics teacher who travels to Germany to find an elderly German scientist famous for creating a powerful anti-matter machine. But his search gets complicated when he stumbles upon a dangerous plot by secret Nazi supporters who want to use that same anti-matter device to bring back their evil regime.

A thrilling Holocaust-based narrative about a visiting physics professor in Germany on the search for an aged German physicist who had been known for his work on an anti-matter device. Only he is impeded by accidentally coming across a scheme to restore the Nazis with a mysterious weapon - the anti-matter device!

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.
