John Masters, a mathematical genius who says he had neither the time nor the need for love, moves into a remote country house. Through the housekeeper, John learns of the tragic death of a previous occupant, Stella Mayer, who died of a broken heart. John falls in love with the visions of Stella appearing to him, unable to resist her commands. When his friends learn of the gypsy curse Stella's former lover placed on her, they rush to save John's weakening life.

A scientist who likes to be alone buys a house far out in the country so he can work quietly. He doesn't know that an evil ghost roams around the property.

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.
