The Brain Without Mercy

A crazy doctor takes out the brain of a badly hurt robber to find out where he hid the money he stole. What lengths will he reach for his experiments?

A mad scientist removes the brain from a severely injured hijacker to ascertain where he left the loot he got away with. Just how far will he go in the name of science?

When Dr. Werner Diethardt finds skyjacker Miguel Riveras on the hot Texas plain, the thief is near death. Having heard on the radio that Riveras had parachuted with his $2 million ransom, Dr. Diethardt, who needs the money for his advanced animal research project, allows Riveras’ body to die, at the same time determining to keep his brain alive so that it will tell him the location of the cash. The brain, though, demands a new body before it will reveal the secret.

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.
