Twilight Zone Radio Drama

Salvadore Ross is a arrogant, short-tempered man desperate to win the affection of Leah Maitland. After breaking his hand, he makes a astounding discovery in the hospital: he possesses the uncanny ability to trade personal traits, physical conditions, and even years of life with anyone who agrees to a deal. Sal trades his broken hand for an old man's cold, then sells his youth to a millionaire before buying back years from young men to regain his age while keeping the fortune. Believing he can buy anything, he attempts to purchase the one trait Leah demands in a husband—compassion—from her father. However, Sal learns the hard way that every transaction in the Twilight Zone comes at a fatal cost.
