Sears Radio Theater – OTR Plots

 

Sears Radio Theater

1979-1980
Known Episodes: 260

 
Not really “Old Time” Radio, this 80s production ran on CBS back-to-back with CBS Radio Mystery Theater in the same hour long format.

Monday was Western Night, hosted by Lorne Greene. Tuesday was Comedy Night, hosted by Andy Griffith. Wednesday was Mystery Night with Vincent Price. Thursday was “Love and Hate Night” with Cicely Tyson. Friday was Adventure Night, hosted by Richard Widmark (and later by Leonard Nimoy).

We have included all ;the shows hosted by Vincent Price, but many of the others are pretty good listening, too.

Melissa  

A home-schooled girl with extraordinary wisdom tells an inquest she has learned science directly from Einstein, philosophy from Locke, and from other genius spirits. When a man claims she is in league with the Devil, the town’s children must come to her defense.

 

Thirteenth Governess, The  

A Spillane-style hardcore detective mystery about a photographer that was killed to end blackmail. Another murder in the wake of a man’s suspicious disappearance. Nursemaids scatter from the green! An assassin on the rooftops! What do a clothing designer and a swinger have in common… Can a private dick sort it all out? (Not Horror.)

 

Voodoo Lady  

A conjure woman promises to heal a woman’s baby, but the cost is higher than she counted on. Her talking cat explains what the already blind old woman must sacrifice to make good.
