The Spit And Image

CBS Radio Mystery Theater "The Spit And Image" is a Mystery from Wednesday, March 31, 1976.

After retiring from football, Gil Stevens is offered a job he can’t refuse: to impersonate a man he physically resembles, Durward Drake, international playboy, financier, sportsman and heir to the Drake Machine Company fortune. Stevens’ employers, aides to Drake, explain that the billionaire, now a recluse, needs an impostor to make public appearances to prove that he is alive. However, Stevens soon suspects that the whole deal may lead to several dead ends, including his own. But his job is at the center of a game with much higher stakes than the Super Bowl. Notes: Michael Tolan played Dr. Alex Tazinski on the television series The Nurses, from 1964 to ’65. He also played Jordan Boyle on The Senator, a short-run television drama during the 1970-71 season.
