The Horror Within
Joe leaves town when he is taunted about his strange behavior and unusual power to perceive the thoughts of others. Working for his Uncle Pete in a supper club, Joe is able to use his talent in a nightclub act with the aid of Effie, his girlfriend. On the eve of their marriage, Effie is found brutally murdered, and Joe sets out to use his telepathy powers to find the killer.
A young man turns religious after the death of his beloved and seeks the power to forestall pain and suffering in the future. As time heals his grief, his desire to wield his powers grow aided by a swaying faith.
After his loved one dies, a young man finds God and wants the ability to stop pain and hurt from happening again. But as his sadness fades over time, he becomes hungry for more power while his faith starts to slip away.
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.
