The Conversation Factor

CBS Radio Mystery Theater "The Conversation Factor" is a Mystery from Friday, September 22, 1978.

En route to resign from what he considers a dead-end project, research scientist Frederick Lanners leaves his attaché case in a diner. Frantically, he returns there, hoping the teenaged cashier, Darlene Jones, has found it. But before he can ask, she says she knows what he wants and hands him the case. Testing her further, Lanners finds that she has ESP and can be the key to his project’s success. But Darlene wants no part of it, not even for $50,000.
