Another journey into the realm of the strange and terrifying.

I hope you will enjoy the trip that it will thrill you a little and chill you a little.

So settle back.

Get a good grip on your nerves.

Where are we going?

You'll find out when we get there.

Greetings everybody.

Hope everyone is doing well.

And I'm so excited to kick off the next 100 episodes here on the podcast and I found a good

play from the CBS Radio Mystery Theater to kick everything off with and that is a play called

The Smoking Pistol.

And it stars Howard De Silva.

Also appearing are Anne Petoniac, Rosemary Rice, and Robert Caliban.

The writer was Sam Dan.

Okay, folks, let's go ahead and get into it. This is episode number 565 of the CBS Radio Mystery Theater.

The first run was on December 14, 1976, and there was a repeat on March 30th, 1977.

Sit back and enjoy from the CBS Radio Mystery Theater, The Smoking Pistol.

And it first aired December 14th, 1976.

The CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents. The CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents. Come in.

Welcome.

I'm E.G. Marshall.

I am a parcel of vain striving by a mere chance held together.
