Summaries:SORRY WRONG NUMBER – One of the most legendary radio plays of all time. Mrs. Stevenson, an arrogant and domineering invalid, accidentally intercepts a phone call between two men plotting a murder for that evening. She tries to enlist the help of the telephone operator, the police, and a hospital, becoming more frantic as the time passes. In the final moments of the play, she realizes that she is the intended victim.
THE POCKET WATCH – A tale about Mr. Emit, a man from, well we never quite know exactly where he’s from, but he comes equipped with two pocket watches. One is the master with which he can control time, toy with it, run it backwards, forwards, or as he so desires. The other one he gives to his subject. The person in possession of the second watch can stop time for everything except himself and Mr. Emit. What will be the fate of his latest subject? Enter two-time loser, Mr. Ollie Benson.
