Synopsis
Three radio plays adapted from classic works by Edgar Allen Poe, Rudyard Kipling, and Oscar Wilde. The Cask of Amontillado: Driven by his burning desire to avenge his family's suffering and father's death, Montressor tricks his arrogant and boastful archrival into assisting in his own hideous demise. The Mark of the Beast: A lack of respect for the spiritual power of the Monkey God exacts a horrible price on a soldier. The Canterville Ghost: Doomed to spend the rest of his life haunting a castle, a ghost's wish is finally granted thanks to a single act of kindness by a child.
