The Pharaoh’s Curse

Hoping for some good luck, Sir Geoffrey, head of an archeological expedition, persuades singer Diane Elliot, a dead ringer for a dead princess, to accompany the team about to enter a tomb and recover a fortune in jewels. The 4,000-year-old curse on the tomb seems to be more effective than the party bargained for, and Diane wonders if she will have to share a catafalque with the look-alike princess and a ruthless fortune hunter.

An archaeologist and a singer search for treasure in an Egyptian tomb, but an old curse turns their hunt into a deadly nightmare.

A treasure hunt in an Egyptian tomb becomes a nightmare as an archaeologist and a singer become the victim of an ancient curse.

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.
