Vanity Dies Hard
Planning out the perfect crime and pinning the blame on his cheating wife is a piece of cake for a slick police detective. Life gets even better when he is called on to the case to help solve it!
Michael Marchand, wealthy detective story writer, swears he will ruin both his beautiful actress wife, Katherine Kendall, and the actor she says plans to marry. Marchand murders the actor and, in what he considers to be the perfect crime, is able to point the finger of suspicion at his wife. To insure she will go to prison for life, he volunteers to help the police prove her guilt.
A smooth cop thinks it's easy to set up the perfect murder and frame his unfaithful wife for it. Things get even sweeter when he gets assigned to investigate his own crime!
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.
