The Code

Description

At 21, Paul Wagner convinces the mysterious Juanita to hire him as barker for her mind-reading act in a touring circus. He learns her code for clues in “reading” audience thoughts so well that the local sheriff asks Juanita to help solve a murder. Paul fears that without his “code” Juanita will be exposed for the charlatan she really is.

In order to solve the murder of man who was killed three times over, a local sheriff enlists the aid of a carnival psychic.

A sheriff teams up with a fortune teller from a traveling carnival to figure out who killed a man that died three different ways.

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.
