Summary

A mysterious woman with unexplainable powers saves a half-blind gold prospector in the Klondike wilderness and follows him back to civilization — but when he abandons her and their children for a politician's daughter, she reminds him that the same gifts that saved his life can just as easily destroy it. | “The Gift of Doom” from CBS Radio Mystery Theater | #RetroRadio EP0572
