Deadly Honeymoon
“Deadly Honeymoon” is Episode 19 of CBS Radio Mystery Theater, first broadcast on January 24, 1974. The drama follows a newly married woman whose cross‑country honeymoon turns terrifying when she learns that her husband may be responsible for the mysterious deaths of his previous two wives—both of whom died during their honeymoons. As suspicion mounts, she begins to fear that she herself may be his next intended victim.
Episode basics
- Series: CBS Radio Mystery Theater
- Episode number: 19
- Original air date: January 24, 1974
- Runtime: Approximately 51 minutes
Plot overview
What begins as a romantic journey quickly becomes a psychological nightmare. During the honeymoon trip, the bride is confronted by unsettling revelations from a police detective: her husband’s earlier marriages ended in tragedy, and the circumstances surrounding those deaths were never fully resolved. As the couple continues their travels, every gesture and conversation takes on a sinister edge, forcing the woman—and the listener—to question whether coincidence or calculated murder lies behind the pattern.
Themes and tone
- Trust and betrayal: The episode probes how quickly intimacy can turn into fear when secrets surface.
- Psychological suspense: Rather than overt violence, tension is built through implication, doubt, and mounting paranoia.
- Fatal romance: “Deadly Honeymoon” exemplifies the series’ fascination with love stories that conceal lethal intentions.
Production notes
Airing during the show’s first month, this episode reflects CBS Radio Mystery Theater’s early emphasis on slow‑burn suspense and moral unease. The extended runtime allows the story to linger on atmosphere and character psychology, making the listener share the protagonist’s growing dread.
