A Very Private Miracle
Multi-millionaire Jasper Crown has closed down his money-losing mill, Dawson City's largest employer. Now living alone in his large mansion—his wife is dead and his children have left him—Crown ignores all pleas to reopen the plant so people can work again. That is, until a little girl, Jennifer Swallow, persuades him to dress up as Santa Claus and attend the church's annual Christmas party.
During Christmas in a small American town, a rich and lonely man named Jasper Crown lives by himself after closing the town's mill and hurting the community. Only his lawyer Arthur and housekeeper Mrs. Murchison stay with him. Then a kind young woman named Jennifer Swallow arrives, and her caring nature breaks through Jasper's loneliness while giving the town new hope.
In a small American town during the festive Christmas season, the story surrounds the reclusive Jasper Crown, a wealthy, isolated man who shut down the local mill, causing community hardship. His only companions are his lawyer, Arthur, and housekeeper, Mrs. Murchison. Enter young Jennifer Swallow, whose warmth and innocence disrupt Jasper's solitude, bringing a flicker of hope to the town.
CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
