Don’t Look Back

A legendary country singer falls for the charm of a plain girl from a small town he met at a remote service station. But she does not dare reciprocate out of fear for his manager who might even murder her to get her out of the way.

A famous country music star meets an ordinary small-town woman at a gas station in the middle of nowhere and falls in love with her. But she's too scared to love him back because his manager might kill her to keep them apart.

While stopped for gas, rock star Renfro Tibbit offers Doree, the young woman who runs the garage, a free ticket to his next concert. When Doree doesn’t show, Renfro drives back to the garage and proposes to her, the first woman who has ever refused his favors. Doree admits she is in love with him, but fears if she married him his career would be over—his millions of women fans would never forgive him—and his dollar-happy manager would surely kill her.

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.
