The Missing Day

CBS Radio Mystery Theater "The Missing Day" is a Mystery from Wednesday, February 14, 1979.

Art Cummings, the plant’s chief executive, while on his way home to celebrate his wedding anniversary, is hailed by a stranger who shoots him with a strong anesthetic. Cummings misses a whole day of his life during which a truckload of high-grade uranium being shipped from his plant is hijacked. Cummings, one of two people who knew about the shipment, can’t remember telling anyone about it. The local sheriff, though, is mighty suspicious: There was enough uranium in the truck to build half a nuclear bomb.
