The Climbing Boy
A dead chimney sweep boy's spirit seeks revenge on the cruel Lord who mistreated him. He gets his chance when two upper-class women help him settle the score.
The aggrieved ghost of a young chimney sweep clamors for vengeance against the Lord that abused him. His desire is granted when two noble women aid his cause.
Lady Emily Hollander discovers after her son's death that she can enter a "dead spell" to communicate with the deceased. Her husband Lord Rodney carelessly causes a young boy's death despite entreaties from her friend Maria. When a chimney fire kills Rodney, Maria wonders how much Emily had to do with it.
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.
