The Plan

The whims of a wealthy woman leads to the demise of her favourite maid and she is wracked with guilt.

When Marybelle, the Russells’ domestic, is killed in a freak taxicab accident while going to work, Mrs. Russell blames herself. As a birthday present to Marybelle, her employer arranged to pay her cabfare rather than give her the day off she requested. However, when Mr. Russell suggests that Marybelle’s death was part of a master plan, his wife becomes determined to find out why the girl and the cabdriver had to die.

A rich woman's selfish choices cause the death of her beloved servant, leaving her consumed by shame.

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.
