Picture On A Wall

Soon after she moves into an apartment in Greenwhich Village, Amanda Phillips, a young midwesterner in search of an acting career, startles her lawyer boyfriend, Gil Franklyn, when she tells him she has been visited by the grandson of the man whose picture hangs on the apartment wall. Gil doesn’t believe her, but he does worry about her safety. Two previous tenants, both young women, have been murdered—strangled to death in the garden outside.

A young actress moves into an apartment with a beautiful garden and becomes fixated on something living in the yard, which worries both her boyfriend and the property owner.

After transferring into a new flat with a picturesque yard, a fledgling actress becomes obsessed with a certain 'inhabitant' of the garden. This greatly disturbs not just her lover, but her landlord as well.

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.
