The Ghostly Rival

Description

A man wants to marry the woman he loves, but he needs her father to say yes first. He makes a bargain with a supernatural being to get rich, but everything turns into a disaster.

Rich and spoiled Tom Cartwright III, in pain from a spider bite and car accident in which he'd hoped both he and his pregnant wife would die, claims he is somebody else and requests psychiatric treatment. His complex story causes colleagues to suggest he be written off as incurable, but the psychiatrist persists.

In order to win the hand of his beloved, a man must first gain her father's approval. After he strikes a deal with an otherworldly creature for immense wealth, things go horribly wrong.

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.
