Time Killer

Description

Edwin Qualen, a professor of parapsychology, believes that time can be just as elastic as space and that someday man will be able to put himself, if he so desires, into any time past, present or future. Suddenly, it happens to him and he’s back in New York 1933, where an argument with a man in a saloon over the current year, develops into a fight. To prevent his arrest, Qualen immediately returns to the present, later taking himself to the same bar, in early 1979, to find out if he had killed his opponent in the fight.

A college teacher experiments with ideas about how time can change and accidentally sends himself back to the years before the Great Depression. When he messes with the flow of time and space, he completely changes what happens in his future.

Playing with a theory on the fluidity of time, a college professor accidentally transports himself back to the period before the Great Depression. His interference with the time-space continuum alters his future drastically.

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.
