Close Shave

CBS Radio Mystery Theater "Close Shave" is a Mystery from Monday, July 24, 1978.

Algernon Pepper gets the ear of billionaire Elwood Fenris by offering him the crown of Dalzeel and marriage to Dalzeel’s beautiful princess, ineligible to the throne because of the Salic law. Aided by his confederate, Lolly Dankowitz, who pretends she’s the princess, and Dalzeel’s ambassador to the UN, who agrees to promote the hoax because of his many personal debts, Pepper convinces Fenris to sign a million-dollar contract. But his plans begin to falter when Fenris and Lolly fall in love.
