Too Many Women Can Kill You

Description

A determined servant threatens to expose her boss after she sees him kill his wife. The man faces trouble from the women around him when his dead wife's ghost starts haunting him in the dark.

An ambitious maid blackmails her employer after witnessing him murder his wife. The man is plagued by the women in his life when even the spirit of his deceased spouse begins to torment him at night.

Silas Cunningham manages to hasten the death of his rich wife—a seemingly perfect murder—so he can live in splendor on her estate with a woman who would like to share the wealth with him. But his wife’s housekeeper as well as her sister, both of whom would like to marry him, know about a slight oversight in the commission of the crime. He keeps hearing about it in nightmares from his wife who promised on her death bed that they would never be parted.

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.
