"The Old, Old Man" is the story of a very rich, retired old man who has left the city where he has lived with his stepdaughter and her husband, and has, without letting them know, secreted himself from their home and loving care to return to an old, out-of-the-way hotel where he once lived. The old hotel is now occupied by a few other very old men who wish to see all of the others dead. For you see, they have each signed a will stating that the last survivor among them is heir to the combined fortunes of the others. The kicker to the whole plan--now that their newest member has moved in, the above-mentioned rich old man--is that before his arrival the combined fortunes of the other 7 old geezers amounted to but a paltry $20,000, but with his new money the fortune awaiting the last to die is now well over a million dollars. Quite an incentive for murder, wouldn't you say? Soon enough the stepdaughter and her husband have tracked her stepfather to the hotel and beseech him to leave, but he resists their entreaties forcefully, offering to them that he has beaten or come out ahead in everything else in his life and he now wishes to beat the price of Death by playing this little game with these fellow old men. But then, right on cue, bodies begin to be murdered and then go missing, with naught but a blood trail leading to a corpse-laden back room in the cellar of the hotel, highlighting the disturbing out-of-character, frightening behavior on the part of the stepfather. But what would he have to gain but a miniscule $20,000 by murdering all of the other old codgers? Several clues point to one or the other of the old men along the way, but this traditionally incorporated script misdirection keeps the listener guessing as to the identity of the murderer, and to the man who eventually executes a plan to ensare him. Listen now to this morbid tale of serial murder most foul and learn what makes one man succomb to the evil buried deep within his soul and which all men possess, but allows it to escape to the world of the living in "The Old, Old Man."
