The Velvet Claws
Description
A man talks to his counsellor and recounts the tale of his escape from a mysterious town full of people obsessed with cats.
A guy tells his therapist about how he got away from a strange town where everyone was crazy about cats.
Vacationing in France, John Latour, a middle-aged bachelor of fixed habits, finds himself inexplicably drawn into a French town where all the inhabitants have feline characteristics and appear to know him. A series of accidents prevent him from leaving, and he falls in love with Ilse, daughter of the innkeeper, the most cat-like of them all. Ilse is convinced Latour is the reincarnation of a long-ago warlock and urges him to join a fiery, demonic celebration of his return.
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.
