I'm Hyman Brown. I have a strange and frightening story about an onyx eye and the effect it had on the lives and happiness of several people.

If you drop a stone into a puddle of water, the water rises in exact

proportion to the displacement of the stone. If good luck is on the face of a coin, wouldn't the other side bring the reverse?

Oh, oh, what's the matter? It moved. It moved in my hand. Take it away, Jack. Take it away,

Jack. Take it away. Please! The Onyx Eye was written especially for the Mystery Theater by Sydney Sloane and stars Francis

I'll be back shortly with Act 1. It was on a cold slushy day in January that Jack Evans found himself on the run down

side street in a section of town in which he had seldom been before.
