The Deadly Pearls

CBS Radio Mystery Theater "The Deadly Pearls" is a Mystery from Wednesday, January 1, 1975.

A small Hawaiian island has but three inhabitants—a malicious retired colonel, an eccentric old woman and the beautiful girlfriend of a mobster. All are resentful of the intrusion of private investigator Keith Spencer, posing as a novelist, whose task is to find a string of pearls coated with radium that will bring death to the wearer. Spencer narrowly escapes death at the hands of all three, in each case a seeming accident, and determines he'll only find the owner of the pearls in a bridge game in which the stakes are very high indeed.
