Tourist Trap

Harry and Ruth Meeker are on their way to a long overdue and well-deserved vacation when a slight accident and a wrong turn into the village of “Downsville,” finds them mysteriously and frighteningly held against their wills. Harry wants some questions answered: Why can’t he and Ruth leave? Why is everyone in Downsville related? And why are there two gravestones in the town’s cemetery with Ruth and Harry’s names on them?

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.
