Whatever it is, it works in the strangest ways to reward us or defeat us. Fate walked into Charles Powell's life in the person of Clint Libitz. Everything looked right to Charles Powell that crisp September morning when he walked into his executive office at the J. P. McCready Company. And why shouldn't it? Charlie Powell was a big shot there. At thirty -seven, executive vice president of one of the largest manufacturers of heavy construction equipment in the country, and he had done it all in less than twelve years. It was a real -life Horatio Alger story. Even to his being engaged to JP McCready's daughter, Allison. How could anything go wrong? Starring: Larry Haines, Jackson Beck, Anne Meecham, Sydney Walker, Tom Keena **Jackson Beck was quite the Voice Actor.

Marshall A psychiatrist once said that the human brain is like a spider's web. Together all the strands are strong. But taken one by one, each can easily be broken and the web destroyed.

Original Airdate: January 12, 1974 Episode 0007 "I Warn You Three Times" Original Story by Sam Dann, Directed by Himan Brown, Host: E.G. Marshall I Warn You Three Times is a tale of Witches who are young and beautiful and who even fall in love. When one man discovers that his wife is a witch he tells a newspaper that he is going to kill her. What do you think about witches? Not the bony hags and atrocious crones of Shakespeare and legend or the poor unfortunates of Salem. But witches who are young. Witches. What beautiful witches who even fall in love. It's one of those miserable stormy nights in the dead of winter. A thick, clinging, wet snow seems determined to smother the entire earth and everyone on it. You'd think that most people would choose the cheerful indoors, a warming fire, a relaxing drink, a comfortable bed. That's the problem with most people. You can't figure them. For instance, consider that line of cars crawling down Main Street, bumper to bumper, skidding, sliding. Where is everybody headed on a night like this? Have we become a race of lemmings? Do we follow some mysterious, unconscious drive? An interesting speculation, but we won't pursue it. Starring: Starring: Joan Loring, Mason Adams, Tom Keena, Alan Manson, Sam Gray

Radio Mystery Theater Cold Storage Times Episode 0008

Original Airdate: January 13, 1974 Episode 0008 "Cold Storage" Original Story by Ian Martin, Directed by Himan Brown, Host: E.G. Marshall I am a man normally filled with the milk of human kindness, but prepared, I'm afraid, to curdle your blood with a tale not of life and death, but rather death and life. I offer you one small comfort. It could hardly happen today. But in the last century, on the old Montgomery estate in Maryland, in the great dark rambling house called Westerly, it was easier to be marked for death than in this one. Some ghouls robbing a grave. Many years before, Buford Montgomery found himself engaged in essentially the same activity, where every bit is shocked when the corpse whose rings they were tearing off suddenly sat up, alive. An epileptic seizure in other times could counterfeit death. The ghouls, of course, had a recourse. They ran away. Buford Montgomery has to stay and face his problem. Starring: Ruby Dee, John Baragray, Bryna Raeburn, Roxy Roker
