Based on a true story of the man who was framed for his own murder as told by a media reporter.
Chadwick Pollister is discovered murdered on the road near home. James K. Selby has just been arrested, tried and convicted of the crime. However, Selby claims he is really Pollister and that he found Selby’s body and switched identities. A visiting journalist finds too many unanswered questions in the situation: Why won’t anyone in town identify him? And if he is Pollister, how can he hang for killing himself?
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.
