The Adventures of Leonidas Witherall
The Four Killers
von
Leonidas Witherall is a mild-mannered schoolteacher whose resemblance to William Shakespeare draws him into adventures involving crime and mystery. In this radio series, the scholarly Witherall finds himself caught up in dangerous situations, using his intelligence and composure to make sense of events around him.
The program presents a dramatic mystery in the tradition of classic radio adventure, with dialogue, sound effects, and music bringing the story to life. Its central appeal is the contrast between Witherall’s quiet, bookish nature and the perilous circumstances he encounters.
Witherall’s adventures offer a blend of suspense and light humor, as an ordinary teacher navigates extraordinary trouble. The episode title, “The Four Killers,” signals a crime-centered story, while the series’ distinctive hero gives the drama its engaging, literary character.
