The Colonel Chabert

CBS Radio Mystery Theater "The Colonel Chabert" is a Mystery from Tuesday, July 12, 1977.

By using the arm bone of a dead soldier, Colonel Chabert manages to dig his way out of a common grave, in which he found himself after the French cavalry charge at Eylau. It takes him ten years to get back to Paris, where a lawyer, Master Derville, agrees to help him retrieve his fortune, now in his remarried wife's name. But instead of heeding Derville's advice, Chabert tries to negotiate directly with his wife, who much prefers that he remain dead.
