The Little Silver Box With a Terrifying Secret | An Ancient Evil Stands Between Him and His Love

“The Bisara of Pooree”: Set in 1891 British India, Major John Churton is riding a streak of bad luck — a robbery, the death of his horse, a rejected invention — when he becomes engaged to the woman of his dreams, Millicent Hollis. His old friend Tom Futon recognizes the source of the trouble: a small silver box called the Bissara of Puri, containing a tiny eyeless wooden fish, which Churton unknowingly purchased in a bazaar. According to legend, the Bissara brings ruin to those who buy it — but grants the heart's desire to those who steal it. When the odious Captain Pack secretly steals the box and uses its power to bewitch Millicent into accepting his marriage proposal, Churton must arrange to steal it back before he loses everything. | #RetroRadio #WeirdDarkness | EP0620
