The Countess

CBS Radio Mystery Theater "The Countess" is a Mystery from Thursday, May 26, 1977.

Countess Josephine de Merret, despite her much older husband's orders, takes their newborn baby to a Parisian park where she meets a young Spanish nobleman, Carlos. It's love at first sight. Later the Count, drunk most of the time, interrupts a tryst in Josephine's bedroom. Carlos hides in a closet, and even though Josephine swears there is no one inside, the Count orders it bricked up. Then, with a gun at his side, he sets up a vigil outside the closet. If Carlos manages to get out, Josephine knows it will be the end for both of them.
