The Case of the Murdered Miser (MP3)
$4.99
Copyright 1984
49 minutes
Spoof/satire
A literary flashback combining the creations of Charles Dickens (A Christmas Carol) and Erle Stanley Gardner, this courtroom melodrama poses the questions: What if Ebenezer Scrooge was murdered, found strangled in his bed with a bell cord knotted around his neck and a stake of holly driven through his heart? And what if the man charged with the crime was his own employee, Bob Crachit?
Appearances are made by a youthful court reporter, Charles Dickens, and that most famous of English barristers… Sir Percy Mason.
