Hello and welcome to another episode of Nostalgic Mystery Radio. I'm your host Stevie K. And it's my honor to bring you the radio shows of yester year. For this episode, I bring you The Whistler, episode titled The Alibi, originally aired October 25th, 1942, where a domineering old lady controls all those around her, several of whom

have a good reason for doing her in. So sit back and relax, and I hope you enjoy this nostalgic

mystery radio. Thank you for listening. I'm the whistler.

I'm through.

Another Sunday night, and again CBS, presents The Whistler.

I know many strange tales, many secrets hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows.

And so I tell you tonight the amazing story of The Alibi.

Poor Henry Farrington paces the library floor. Through his mind run the events of the

past twenty years, from the day when he married the wealthy young widow, Agatha Durant.

Henry hadn't a dollar of his own then, nothing but charm. He still hasn't a dollar of his own,

and now very little charm.

Henry was a struggling artist, but Agatha was a businesswoman and was determined to make Henry a businessman.

And Henry had tried, tried hard. Agatha backed him in venture after venture, bossing him,

completely dominating his every moment.

But Henry experienced nothing but failure, and gradually Agatha's love turned to disgust.
