In this thrilling episode of CBS Radio Mystery Theater, host EG Marshall delves into the intriguing world of 19th-century lady novelists, highlighting the lesser-known Amelia D. Edwards, an accomplished Egyptologist and writer of suspenseful stories. The episode features the adaptation of Edwards' chilling tale, "The Four Fifteen Express," brought to life by Elizabeth Kennel and starring William Prince. Set in 1856, the story follows William Langford, who returns to England after a business trip to Russia, only to find himself embroiled in a mysterious encounter on a train. Langford meets John Dwarehouse, a railroad official carrying a large sum of money, only to discover later that Dwarehouse had disappeared months earlier with the same amount.

As Langford attempts to unravel the mystery, he faces disbelief and accusations from his friends, the Jelfs, and the railroad company. The plot thickens when Langford identifies Augustus Rakes, a bookkeeper, as a key figure in the mystery. Rakes confesses to a crime involving the missing money, but the story takes a supernatural turn when Langford realizes he may have encountered a ghostly apparition of Dwarehouse. This episode explores themes of deception, guilt, and the supernatural, leaving listeners questioning the boundaries between reality and the ethereal.
