The CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents... [door opening] [door squeaking] [dramatic music] Come in.
[door squeaking] Welcome.
I'm E.G. Marshall.
We live in a world where man's achievements are immense, and his brutalities unparalleled.
The rack of the Inquisition in medieval Spain could not compare with the instruments of torture used on the world's population today.
Yet now, as then, there are no absolutes of goodness or of evil.
Some of the great secrets of our cosmos have been unearthed by men who were guilty of terrible deeds, and members of the world of academia who train the minds of young people are themselves in need of help to combat malignant forces in their own psyches.
Dr. Shirbey, your answering service said you'd be here.
I hate to disturb you, but I-
Oh, that's quite all right, chief.
Well, what can I do for you?
Well, I'd like you to come with me, doctor.
We need your help.
Well, I'm not much at forensic medicine.

There was a break-in at the Claymore Animal Shelter.

Animals ripped apart and savaged.
Only you can figure out who a- and why.
