The mutual broadcasting system presents the mysterious traveler, written, produced, and directed by Robert A. Arthur and David Coughton, and starring two of radio's formal factors, Jan Miner and Wendell Holmes, in Chains of a Drem.

Here's the mysterious traveler inviting you to join me on another journey into the realm of the strange and the terrifying. I hope you will enjoy the trip, and it will really feel a little and cheer you a little.
