Two ex-cons, Ernie and Sid, fresh out of prison, visit their former cellmate’s Aunt Grace because she holds a key they need—the other half to open a chest containing $100,000. They decide to kill her to get her key—but it turns out Aunt Grace “refuses to stay dead,” introducing a supernatural twist to their crime. It’s “The Tell-Tale Corpse” from CBS Radio Mystery Theater! | #RetroRadio EP0480
