Million Dollar Murder

A man having money troubles learns who he really is and what his friends are truly like after a wealthy lady offers him one million dollars to kill someone.

Businessman Dick Nelson, about to liquidate his assets to keep his furniture company from going bankrupt, is offered $1 million by wealthy Althea Beaumont, his former lover, if he kills his closest friend, Judge Morrow. The reason, Althea reveals, is that after 30 years she still wants to punish the judge for convincing Nelson to leave her in favor of a promising career. Not until Nelson accepts Althea’s offer does he realize he, too, may become a victim of her vendetta.

A struggling businessman discovers his true nature and that of the people close to him when a rich woman asks him to dispose of someone for the sum of one million dollars.

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.
