A not-to-bright, small-time horse player inherits a diaper service.
Sounds like O'Neill's "Hughie" in an alternative universe.
Maybe one of my erudite readers - the real stuff, not what's been on display here earlier this morning - might know if it even exists as a video.
Update:
Here's one of the last things Oboler did in radio drama, from the same Sears Radio Theater series I posted from yesterday, from 1979, complete with the vintage commercials and messages and announced by Vincent Price.
Arch Oboler - The Old Boy
The Old Boy
Update 2: Yeah, I've heard his Drop Dead LP. You can hear it on Youtube. I have to say that I don't find Oboler's horror and sci-fi stuff as good as some of his other stuff. Oddly, the content he recorded in hi-fi in 1962 seems more dated to me than the stuff he did in the 30s and 40s. I really like some of it but he was churning out a lot of stuff as a working hack writer. It's amazing how much stuff those guys wrote. It's like blogging only a lot longer and a lot better quality.
