Time Killer

Edwin Qualen, a professor of parapsychology, believes that time can be just as elastic as space and that someday man will be able to put himself, if he so desires, into any time past, present or future. Suddenly, it happens to him and he’s back in New York 1933, where an argument with a man in a saloon over the current year, develops into a fight. To prevent his arrest, Qualen immediately returns to the present, later taking himself to the same bar, in early 1979, to find out if he had killed his opponent in the fight.

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.
