Episode 0058 "Sea of Troubles"
Original Story by Henry Slesar Directed by Himan Brown Host: E.G. Marshall
The subject of the story you're about to hear is murder. But the subject is also time. We've all heard of killing time. But have you heard about using time to kill? You will in the next few minutes when Mr. Owen Layton himself tells you his most ingenious scheme for getting rich quick by means of sudden death.
Our spine tingler begins across the sea in the delightful city of Paris. They say that you can sit at a sidewalk cafe on one of these streets and sooner or later meet everyone you've ever known. Well, now we're going to introduce you to someone who you don't know, but whose acquaintance you will enjoy making. His name is Owen Layton, and he prefers to tell you his unusual story in his own words.
