This Breed Is Doomed

Con man Reb Kendall's slick banter and a phony cancer cure get him kicked out of town. But he meets an old love who causes him to re-examine his life.

Smooth-talking swindler Reb Kendall gets run out of town after his fake cancer medicine scam falls apart. When he runs into a woman from his past, she makes him take a hard look at who he's become.

Red Harrison Kendall, an old-time confidence man usually one step ahead of the law, gets arrested in a small North Carolina town. He talks his way out of a jail sentence and starts to head west when he is befriended by a little old lady on her way to the bank to pay off her $1,000 mortgage in cash. Thinking Red a reverend, she asks him to hold her pocketbook for a moment—a mistake both she and he soon regret.

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.
