The Accusing Corpse

mysterious traveler. This is the mysterious traveler inviting you to join him on 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? We're going to journey to the grave and learn the secrets

to the dead in a tail-tightening... the accusing corpse. I'm years ago when I was a county coroner. I was called in on a most interesting case, a case which had begun in the country home of Philip Drake, the wealthy stock broke up.

Thank goodness you were able to get here in time. I left time right after I received your call. What's wrong, Philip? You sounded so upset over the phone. It's Vivian. She's upstairs in her room packing.

She says she's leaving me, leaving you. Why? She seems to feel our marriage has been a mistake. Roger, won't you speak to her? Persuaded to stay. After all, she is your sister. I'm afraid, Philip, that Vivian and I have never been as close as sister and brother should be.

She's always been wild and spoiled. Perhaps, Philip, it would be better if you were to let her go. No, I couldn't do that. I love her, Roger. I wouldn't want to live without her. Won't you please try to persuade her to stay?

All right, Philip, I'll do my best. But I must warn you, I haven't much influence, ever. Well, I'm all packed and ready to... Why, Roger, darling, what a surprise. What are you doing here? Vivian, Philip has told me.
