Sears Radio Theater was a radio drama anthology series which ran weeknights on CBS Radio in 1979, sponsored by the Sears chain. Often paired with The CBS Radio Mystery Theater during its first season, the program offered a different genre of drama for each evening's broadcast.In January 1980, the program moved from CBS to the Mutual Broadcasting System and was renamed Mutual Radio Theater. The Mutual series broadcast repeats from the CBS run until September 1980, when a short season of new dramas was presented. Sears continued as a sponsor during the Mutual run.

Tuesday was "Comedy Night", hosted by Andy Griffith. Wednesday was "Mystery Night" with Vincent Price as host. Thursday was "Love and Hate Night" with Cicely Tyson doing honors as host. Finally, Friday brought "Adventure Night", first hosted by Richard Widmark and later by Howard Duff and finally by Leonard Nimoy.Several actors from the Golden Age of Radio were featured on the series.
Among the actors heard were Jim Jordan, Henry Morgan, Daws Butler, June Foray, Parley Baer, Mary Jane Croft, Howard Culver, John Dehner, Joan McCall, Don Diamond, Virginia Gregg, Janet Waldo, Vic Perrin, Hans Conried, Marvin Miller, Elliott Lewis, Jeff Corey, Lesley Woods, Robert Rockwell, Lurene Tuttle, Eve Arden, Keith Andes, Harriet Nelson, Alan Young, Tom Bosley, Marion Ross, Lloyd Bochner, Rick Jason, Frank Campanella, Toni Tennille, Arthur Hill, Dan O'Herlihy, Jesse White and Frank Nelson.[1] Veteran radio actress Peggy Webber was heard on 52 episodes.The program was produced and directed by Fletcher Markle and Elliott Lewis.

a baby. Well here's the pickle. Us left home right behind her of
(10:41):
the Georgrapords, and all faithful happystays behind to care for home and boss
until matters. She gets straightened upand now low in the hole, she

Good question. Hello, it's me. Oh, yes, Tassy, I
(11:05):
was gonna call you. I'm notgoing to be staying here at the hotel
after all. That's good because Ithink you better come home. Why?
What is it? Something wrong?That all depends on how you look at
it? Are you sitting down anddo you have some smelling salt? Handy?
Will you please just tell me whatit is? You have to tell
me. Okay, you're going tohave a baby. I'm going to watch
(11:26):
the adopts of people called you andmister Bitty wanted to adopt the baby once,
remember, but there was there wasmore than a year ago. Babies
take time, So didn't you tellthem? We couldn't now that it's impossible.
I didn't get the chance to tellthem anything. They just kept saying,
everything's all set, well, everythingcouldn't be more unset? Well?
(11:46):
What about mister Beithley. Should Icall him tell him the news? No?
No, never mind, Tassy.I'll be home as soon as I
can do. Did you have anyrun into Missus Bentley baying and change?
Yes? I did, by chanthen she told you told me what?
(12:07):
Then she didn't tell you, didn'ttell me what? I really think it's
Missus Bentley's pays a ten caffy.Missus Bentley and I are not exactly on
speaking terms. A message was forboth of you. What message about the
baby? What baby? Yours mine? Right? Run that past me once
again slowly? Okay, okay,but that isn't going to change. Anyone
(12:31):
left a message for Missus Bentley andme? Right right? About a baby?
Right? What about a baby?Think you've got one boy or girl?
Boy? Missus Bentley and I havea baby boy, not a baby
exactly. He's five years old.They said, we have a baby boy
(12:54):
five years old. Uh. Thatadoption business, we looked into it,
but that was at least over ayear ago. A five year old babies
take longer. That was when thingswere different. That was when you and
Missus Bentley were on speaking to Jazz. Right. I hope you explained that
to them. I mean it's impossible. Now, what would we do with
(13:16):
a boy five years old? He'sa little half and half kid from Vietnam.
He's what you know, the unknownsoldier in datafy I read the GI
overseas Manuel. What would missus Bentleyand I do with it? You must
have told him that you were infressing what we were we're not. The
whole thing is out of a questionnow, even if he were an all
(13:39):
American kid with red hair, blueeyes, and freckles, and if you
didn't explain that to them, you'dbetter call them right back. Mister Bentley's
car is outside. Well, hedidn't bring it in. I don't think
he's planning to stay, whereas upstairsyou didn't tell him, so I thought
(14:00):
he had a right to know ifhe's going to be the father. Cassie
there is not going to be ababy. It's a little late to say
that by about five years. Fiveyears, do you mean she isn't even
a baby? She isn't even asheep. A boy, a five year
old boy, and Chantuzari doesn't havered hair, blue eyes and freckles.
This kid didn't do anything right,didn't mister Bentley tell you to call them
(14:24):
back and cancel the orders. Willthen tell them we're sorry for any trouble
they went to. Too bad,the kid went to the trouble of being
born. Mister Bentley and I arenot responsible for that. Neither is the
kid? All right? Our callor all that's mister Bentley to call?
(14:46):
So what would be next? God? You mean about who's going to stay
here at the house where you are? Of course I'll get a rum at
a motel near the office until Ifind something else. Will you call the
adoption people? Of course to badfor the kid's sake. I mean,
what's gonna happen to him? Now? I wonder, Well, you'll probably
(15:09):
find another couple who know they're goingto stay married forever. Joe, there
isn't any point to this. Justcall and get it over with and forget
all about it. We both havea lot of forgetting to do. Let's
I want to let the kids come. What you haven't seen those kids over
there the way I have her?You'd feel the same way be talking about
(15:31):
what's your j o afware? Oh, Cassy didn't get around to telling you
that part? Well, you're partthe part where Gi Joe meets a Vietnamese,
Madam, Butterfly, you mean thechild is Vietnamese. The half of
him that doesn't fit in over hereis the half of him that doesn't fit
in over there is American. Look, all I was thinking is that,
(15:52):
well, we could go along withthis thing long enough to get the kid
over here at least, and thenwhat, I'm a lawyer, I'll think
of something. At least he'd behere, getting the right things to eat
and everything. But it wouldn't changeanything between them, and we'd just have
to pretend a little longer. That'sall. I'd have to keep on living
here for a while. If Icould sleep in a tin. We'd fix
(16:12):
up the guest room for the kid, fixing up a nursery. At this
point, and I'm married, it'llbe fine. It weren't so hilarious.
Who, Tassie, you'll take careof everything. You don't have to worry.
So what are we doing that?I guess I'd better call and try
to find out just when this blessedevent is supposed to happen. I'll tell
Tassie, since she's the one who'llbe going into labor. Good afternoon,
(16:44):
he sent me, after I thoughtyou weren't coming into the office to couldn't
stay away anything important. I've putsome things on your desk, but nothing
really. Well, excuse me,mister Danley, but I didn't know you
played football. Oh oh, thisit's a present for someone, a surprise.
But as a matter of fact,I used to play a lot.
(17:06):
It's back in college. Feels goodto have the old pigskin again, I
suppose. So is this the biggame? Yes? Well, shall I
say? I live in mind?I'm an old friend of the family thirty
two. Let's see something? MayI play too? Oh? Hello,
(17:33):
Margot, I'm I'm not bad atintersecting a parent. I wasn't expecting anyone.
I told your secretary. I wantedto surprise you. I didn't know
you a did exercise. You knowthese desk jobs. I'm in the mood
for a little celebrating. How Itaken me out for dream celebrating. Yeah,
find kind of in the mood myself. I thought you might be.
(17:56):
That's why I stop by. Yougot a deal only how'd you know?
Have you talked to Elizabeth today?As soon as you called me with the
news, I couldn't wait to seeyou. I'm surprised she's spreading it around
already. I was delighted to bethe first to know. Oh, Leonora,
as long as there's nothing urgent,I'm going out for a bit.
(18:17):
I'll be back in about half anhour. They'll lash me or so,
yes, sir, Well, whatdid it be, jill? Congratulation to
commiseration. I'm very good at doing. Why don't we risk congratulations? I'll
(18:38):
drink of that. Did Elizabeth callyou? Or did you call her?
He called me? He's in indeederto spread the word and fall. No,
maybe she's happier about it than Ithought. She said it was her
idea, and the first thing.I don't know that I think about it.
I guess it was thank me.I don't really care whose idea it
(18:59):
just wait. Good news. Understand, it's not gonna change anything between Elizabeth
and me. It's not. No, we'll just go on pretty much as
we have. Oh we'll still livetogether, of course for a while at
least. Will that be a littleinconvenience. We'll both just have to learn
to be more tolerant. Broad mindit might be a better word. I
(19:22):
think she's a fool, a foolto let you get away. Well,
maybe we're both a couple of fools. But as I said, finding out
that we have this kid on theway doesn't change anything. What the kid
Elizabeth told you about? Tell meabout a kid? When did you anytime?
(19:42):
Now? It seems right away Ithought you said Elizabeth called you about
all this? What have we beencelebrating? Uh? I think i'd better
get you back to your office.Yeah, this is many time for a
family breadwinner to goof off, isit not? With this cookie? I
only pick on people my own size. A baby is out of my leave.
(20:04):
This kid is a baby, exactly. It's a boy five years old.
Amazing How time flies when you're havinga good martini. How you doing
lying around? I thought we weregoing shopping Till you go, Testie,
there's no point in my going,Oh, he's going to be your kid
(20:26):
at least for a while. Ihad nine years to get used to being
a wife, and I didn't makeit. You do the best you can
with the shopping tastie. I justI don't feel up to it. Wow.
And before you go, will youtake that picture and put it away
someplace out of sight? You weavingpictures? Oh? Now, wouldn't it
be kind of nice to leave itout just for the kid so he could
feel legitimate for a change. TAXI, mister Bentley and I have agreed.
(20:49):
This child is not going to changea thing between us. Well, then
you put the picture away. I'mnot going to do all your dirty work
for you. WHOA, that's oneway of putting it away. So we
let porch kid get here. Hethinks the war is over. Everybody nine
(21:37):
thousands up. I'm in the bedroom. You know, I might think this
was a touch of morning sickness.That's at wasn't three o'clock in the afternoon?
And if your husband hadn't already toldme that you've ordered a little ready
made muddle. Joe told you wehad a drink together to celebrate. If
you don't mind, why should Imind? Man? I see? And
(22:02):
why isn't you Oh no, thatwas just a little accidents. And you
weren't kidding when you said you werebreaking up your marriage. And what's all
this about adopting a child at thispoint? And why China Vietnam? These
Joel wasn't too informative. I'm afraidI'm not going to be either what's the
big mistery mother or as far asI'm concerned. I must say, you
(22:22):
don't sound too inspired. Would yoube if you just learned you were about
to become the mother of a starvingrefugee? You mean this was all Joe's
idea. No, we both agreedto it. M I got the idea.
You two weren't in agreement on anythingthese days, so you didn't waste
any time moving in on the situation. Any movie out again under the circumstances.
(22:45):
Has anybody told this pool kid whatyou've in for? Think to me?
The better off the day in ChinaVietnam. Fortunately, there's tactic cold
and this was all Tasty's ideas.It doesn't matter whose idea it was.
Al will be here soon and thepatterns litle feet is all you need in
your cozy little love. Now,Oh Margot, you're right, Just believe
(23:07):
in facing facts. The stage isspade. You can't make it into a
heart. Well you can relax.Joe and I are kidding ourselves. I
know exactly what you need. Getyourself freshened up, and I'll meet you
for cocktails at Tony's around five.All right, I don't know exactly whether
you have in mind, trust mefor your tie time, money, goodness.

Listen, so you've brought out thetown. Don't forget lid Tony's at
five where I have the shopping goTASTI look for seven stakes. If you
had to get so much, youcould have had a deliver I did.
The truck will be here tomorrow.Here you are, good girl. I
(24:00):
was afraid your impending motherhood had completelyimmobilized. All right, Margot, what
are you up to? Just whatis it that you think I need,

Well it's a living But let's nottalk about me. Let's talk about you,

tiptoe doll, butter, nobody's husbandis asleep. No, there was no
reason for you to wait up forme. I didn't. Oh, DIGGI

and rumpled in your Jammy. I'lltell you what happened Joe. Margo said
(25:41):

He's a model. A model,but the Joggs's model, you know,
or it is the West. Showthem your tattoo, Bill had it
done? Especially? I believe inrealism in my work. Admirable. Well,
No, that we're all here,no reason to let the party die.
(26:03):
Oh, it'll have to live onwithout me. I don't feel so
good all of a sudden. Ohwhat's the matter, little mother? Just
a little three o'clock in the morningsickness? Cool? Then you'd better get

up way and can I take him? Missy? Right? Thank you?
Yes, what is it? He'son his way? What are your meaning

be here soon, even sooner?Try six o'clock to night. Oh,
don't worry with enough baby, Yourhead'll be back by bed. Somebody has
to go to the airport to pickhim up, and I think it should
(27:52):
be both of us. Why whygive him the wrong idea? Right from
the studs. He's going to beset straight soon enough. But right now
he's a little kid landing in astrange place. He'll need somebody to comfort
him like a like a mother.Well, he's so young. I don't
know how to talk to a fiveyear old kid, especially one that doesn't
understand English. Look, I agreewe should both go, But honestly,
(28:15):
Bill, I I don't think Icould make it the way i'm feeling.
You picked a great time to godisco hopping. Well, I don't think
it's a hangover. It's like fluor something anything that gives you one out.
Right, Well, it's still afew hours. Maybe i'll feel better
by then. Maybe you'd better feelbetter by then. Oh no, no,
no, no, don't look atme. I'm the home Front welcome
(28:37):
committee. I'll have to hop mealand the warm bed beddy. I can't
do everything, but Cassie, Ireally I just feel awful for you.
I haven't mind a cold, showerysleep. Almost before he head hit the
pillow, poor little guy. Idon't think he knows what's happening. I'm
still working on it myself. Whatdo you When he first came off the
(29:00):
plane and saw you started to cry. I never stop until I gave him
a lollipop to suck on. AndI've been yengling about that. How do
you happen to have a lollipop inyour pocket? I've been trying to quit
smoking. Oh, sad, Iforgot? How you doing? Please?
Maybe the kid will help you quit? I mean you'll be too busy playing
football. Maybe only I can't counton the kid as a permanent solution.
(29:21):
You keep forgetting that taxi. Ican I when everybody keeps reminding me.
But for the moment, at least, it looks like we're in apparent business
for better or worse. As someonesaid on another auspicious occasion, Right,
(29:45):
Joe, they're just surprise to me. Is the bar open for you?
Anytime? You doesn't last? Right? Right? Sure? How do you

(11:26):
the adopts of people called you andmister Bitty wanted to adopt the baby once,
remember, but there was there wasmore than a year ago. Babies
take time, So didn't you tellthem? We couldn't now that it's impossible.
I didn't get the chance to tellthem anything. They just kept saying,
everything's all set, well, everythingcouldn't be more unset? Well?
(11:46):
What about mister Beithley. Should Icall him tell him the news? No?
No, never mind, Tassy.I'll be home as soon as I
can do. Did you have anyrun into Missus Bentley baying and change?
Yes? I did, by chanthen she told you told me what?
(12:07):
Then she didn't tell you, didn'ttell me what? I really think it's
Missus Bentley's pays a ten caffy.Missus Bentley and I are not exactly on
speaking terms. A message was forboth of you. What message about the
baby? What baby? Yours mine? Right? Run that past me once
again slowly? Okay, okay,but that isn't going to change. Anyone
(12:31):
left a message for Missus Bentley andme? Right right? About a baby?
Right? What about a baby?Think you've got one boy or girl?
Boy? Missus Bentley and I havea baby boy, not a baby
exactly. He's five years old.They said, we have a baby boy
(12:54):
five years old. Uh. Thatadoption business, we looked into it,
but that was at least over ayear ago. A five year old babies
take longer. That was when thingswere different. That was when you and
Missus Bentley were on speaking to Jazz. Right. I hope you explained that
to them. I mean it's impossible. Now, what would we do with
(13:16):
a boy five years old? He'sa little half and half kid from Vietnam.
He's what you know, the unknownsoldier in datafy I read the GI
overseas Manuel. What would missus Bentleyand I do with it? You must
have told him that you were infressing what we were we're not. The
whole thing is out of a questionnow, even if he were an all
(13:39):
American kid with red hair, blueeyes, and freckles, and if you
didn't explain that to them, you'dbetter call them right back. Mister Bentley's
car is outside. Well, hedidn't bring it in. I don't think
he's planning to stay, whereas upstairsyou didn't tell him, so I thought
(14:00):
he had a right to know ifhe's going to be the father. Cassie
there is not going to be ababy. It's a little late to say
that by about five years. Fiveyears, do you mean she isn't even
a baby? She isn't even asheep. A boy, a five year
old boy, and Chantuzari doesn't havered hair, blue eyes and freckles.
This kid didn't do anything right,didn't mister Bentley tell you to call them
(14:24):
back and cancel the orders. Willthen tell them we're sorry for any trouble
they went to. Too bad,the kid went to the trouble of being
born. Mister Bentley and I arenot responsible for that. Neither is the
kid? All right? Our callor all that's mister Bentley to call?
(14:46):
So what would be next? God? You mean about who's going to stay
here at the house where you are? Of course I'll get a rum at
a motel near the office until Ifind something else. Will you call the
adoption people? Of course to badfor the kid's sake. I mean,
what's gonna happen to him? Now? I wonder, Well, you'll probably
(15:09):
find another couple who know they're goingto stay married forever. Joe, there
isn't any point to this. Justcall and get it over with and forget
all about it. We both havea lot of forgetting to do. Let's
I want to let the kids come. What you haven't seen those kids over
there the way I have her?You'd feel the same way be talking about
(15:31):
what's your j o afware? Oh, Cassy didn't get around to telling you
that part? Well, you're partthe part where Gi Joe meets a Vietnamese,
Madam, Butterfly, you mean thechild is Vietnamese. The half of
him that doesn't fit in over hereis the half of him that doesn't fit
in over there is American. Look, all I was thinking is that,
(15:52):
well, we could go along withthis thing long enough to get the kid
over here at least, and thenwhat, I'm a lawyer, I'll think
of something. At least he'd behere, getting the right things to eat
and everything. But it wouldn't changeanything between them, and we'd just have
to pretend a little longer. That'sall. I'd have to keep on living
here for a while. If Icould sleep in a tin. We'd fix
(16:12):
up the guest room for the kid, fixing up a nursery. At this
point, and I'm married, it'llbe fine. It weren't so hilarious.
Who, Tassie, you'll take careof everything. You don't have to worry.
So what are we doing that?I guess I'd better call and try
to find out just when this blessedevent is supposed to happen. I'll tell
Tassie, since she's the one who'llbe going into labor. Good afternoon,
(16:44):
he sent me, after I thoughtyou weren't coming into the office to couldn't
stay away anything important. I've putsome things on your desk, but nothing
really. Well, excuse me,mister Danley, but I didn't know you
played football. Oh oh, thisit's a present for someone, a surprise.
But as a matter of fact,I used to play a lot.
(17:06):
It's back in college. Feels goodto have the old pigskin again, I
suppose. So is this the biggame? Yes? Well, shall I
say? I live in mind?I'm an old friend of the family thirty
two. Let's see something? MayI play too? Oh? Hello,
(17:33):
Margot, I'm I'm not bad atintersecting a parent. I wasn't expecting anyone.
I told your secretary. I wantedto surprise you. I didn't know
you a did exercise. You knowthese desk jobs. I'm in the mood
for a little celebrating. How Itaken me out for dream celebrating. Yeah,
find kind of in the mood myself. I thought you might be.
(17:56):
That's why I stop by. Yougot a deal only how'd you know?
Have you talked to Elizabeth today?As soon as you called me with the
news, I couldn't wait to seeyou. I'm surprised she's spreading it around
already. I was delighted to bethe first to know. Oh, Leonora,
as long as there's nothing urgent,I'm going out for a bit.
(18:17):
I'll be back in about half anhour. They'll lash me or so,
yes, sir, Well, whatdid it be, jill? Congratulation to
commiseration. I'm very good at doing. Why don't we risk congratulations? I'll
(18:38):
drink of that. Did Elizabeth callyou? Or did you call her?
He called me? He's in indeederto spread the word and fall. No,
maybe she's happier about it than Ithought. She said it was her
idea, and the first thing.I don't know that I think about it.
I guess it was thank me.I don't really care whose idea it
(18:59):
just wait. Good news. Understand, it's not gonna change anything between Elizabeth
and me. It's not. No, we'll just go on pretty much as
we have. Oh we'll still livetogether, of course for a while at
least. Will that be a littleinconvenience. We'll both just have to learn
to be more tolerant. Broad mindit might be a better word. I
(19:22):
think she's a fool, a foolto let you get away. Well,
maybe we're both a couple of fools. But as I said, finding out
that we have this kid on theway doesn't change anything. What the kid
Elizabeth told you about? Tell meabout a kid? When did you anytime?
(19:42):
Now? It seems right away Ithought you said Elizabeth called you about
all this? What have we beencelebrating? Uh? I think i'd better
