Two of a Kind

Description

An idle and selfish oaf leases two identical rooms and outfits them in the same manner in an elaborate scheme to relieve his aunt of her wealth, and to continue driving her crazy!

Because his Aunt Louise is sure to cut off his allowance upon her imminent release from a sanitarium, free-spending Wally starts making plans to ensure she will soon be recommitted to the institution. With $25,000 of her money, he rents two identical adjacent apartments and furnishes each in the very same manner. What he plans to do with them, he hopes, will make his Aunt Louise react so violently that the men in the white coats will demand to make her a patient again.

A lazy and greedy fool rents two matching rooms and decorates them exactly the same way as part of a sneaky plan to steal his aunt's money and keep making her lose her mind!

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.
