The Weird Circle presents “The Executioner,” program 51, originally broadcast November 19, 1944. Adapted from Honoré de Balzac’s 1830 short story “El Verdugo,” this grim historical drama features Karl Swenson, Eleanor Audley, and Ted de Corsia.
In Napoleonic-era Spain, French officer Victor Marchand is drawn to Clara de Léganès, daughter of the proud Marquis de Léganès. Against the tense occupation of the coastal town of Menda, loyalty, family honor, and the brutal demands of war close in on the noble household.
