Killer’s Appointment
Lydia Prentiss is so in love with Herb Larson that when he assaults a factory guard and empties the company safe, she tells the police she is the guilty one. She’s willing to put off their wedding for three years if she can save Herb’s reputation. Suddenly, after a year, his daily letters stop coming to the jail, and so does he. When told by her mother that Herb has married his boss’s daughter, Lydia swears she’ll break out of prison and settle matters—with a gun.
In a small town, Lydia Prentice stands by her fiancé Herb, who is accused of a robbery that left a night watchman injured. To protect him, Lydia confesses to the crime herself, but her devotion falters when she discovers Herb's betrayal with another woman. As she seeks revenge, she finds his guilt punishment enough.
Lydia Prentice supports her boyfriend Herb when people say he robbed someone and hurt a security guard in their small town. She tells everyone she did the crime to save Herb, but then she finds out he's cheating on her with another woman. When Lydia wants to get back at him, she realizes that knowing he's guilty is punishment enough.
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.
