A murder most gruesome...seemingly committed by a phantom. A stolen letter whose contents could create a political and social scandal. A strange place where the workings of the mind may lead one to question one's own sanity. A cat, seemingly innocent, black as night, chasing the demon within man's worst nature. Four stories and tales. Classic intrigue, suspense, deduction, mystery, and murder that can only be told through the words of Edgar Allan Poe.

This program includes multi-cast dramatizations of The Black Cat, The System of Dr. Tarr and Prof. Fether, The Purloined Letter, and The Murders in the Rue Morgue.
