Only the Dead Remember

Twenty years feels like nothing to Korean War veterans who meet up to plan killing a former prisoner who ruined their breakout from a prison camp.

Captured in the Korean War, three G.I.s vow to kill a fourth who they were certain had informed the North Koreans of their plan to escape. One of the three, piano player Eddie Benson, has combed the United States for more than twenty years and has now found the informer. But he cannot convince his buddies to join him in the execution they once swore they would perform together.

Two decades is a small time for Korean war veterans as they come together to plot the murder of a fellow prisoner of war who foiled their escape attempt from a POW camp.

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.
