  • 177. WBW Theater Classic Old Time Radio - CBS Radio Mystery Theater - Hickory, Dickory Doom

    One of our more popular American pastimes is attending garage and tag sales. There seems to be something about buying someone else's junk that fascinates most of us. But of course, not all garage sales offer junk. Some of them have some very usable merchandise, and occasionally, you might pick up a real antique. The garage sale we're about to visit now with Charlotte and Charlie Tucker, contains the belongings of a recently departed minister - a bachelor - who left his earthly possessions to his nephew, Richard Lumb. Let's join them on the lawn of the Lumb's home, in southern Pennsylvania.

    In a small hillside New England cemetery a chill evening wind stirs the leaves and a blood red moon clings to the branches with grotesque fingers touching the faded headstones with their eerie light.
