Jobo

The discovery of a strange metal statue of an Easter Island god stirs Professor Tillotson's interest in an expedition to the distant isle. His daughter Alma becomes involved in the mystery of Jobo, a young man with the strength of legends and a striking resemblance to the statue, who is also the last descendant of an alien race.

After reading a newspaper article about Jobo Haley, a Tennessee hillbilly who looks like one of the very tall, very slender stone statues found only on Easter Island, archeologist John Tilletson organizes an expedition to the Pacific paradise, while his daughter Alma heads for Tennessee. Both discover identical objects: shiny silver medallions previously unknown to archeologists. Only Jobo and an Easter Island common thief are able to explain the historical significance and the astonishing relationship of the two strange objects.

Professor Tillotson finds a weird metal figure of an Easter Island god and wants to travel to the faraway island to learn more. His daughter Alma gets caught up in the puzzle surrounding Jobo, a strong young man who looks just like the statue and has incredible power from old stories. Jobo turns out to be the final member of a family that came from outer space.

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.
