The Washington Kidnap

Description

Henry Dawkins’ great artistic talents are directed toward one goal: printing his own version of George III’s legal tender. When his engraving operation lands him and friend Isaac Young in prison, they discover they serve time with a host of Tory sympathizers who are eager to use Henry’s ability for their own Loyalist cause: bringing George Washington to England in chains.

Two prisoners use their abilities to stop the Tories from trying to capture General George Washington.

When the Tories attempt to kidnap General George Washington, two convicts use their skills in order to hinder their plans.

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.
