For years an anonymous Cape Cod mural painter has been adorning the underpass to the Barnstable Village railroad bridge with images of scantily clad nudes in Clasical poses. An activity which, although many in the Village enjoy them and approve, is also illegal and a source of irritation particuarly to nearby neighbor, Otis Narwhal, who feels the paintings go too far. With night-vision binoculars he sits on his portch at night hoping to spy the Phantom Artist at work and report her to the local police.

When his spying succeeds he calls in the cops, (including Captain Underhill ), thinking this will put an end to it, but, unfortunately, it is only the begininng: the beginning of the suspense and the beginning of the terror. ‘The Mermaid on Halloween Bridge’ is a real time suspense thriller perfect for the Jack-o-Lantern season!

A Captain Waverly Underhill mystery

For CCRMT’s 20th anniversary, we bring you a sequel to our very first Captain Underhill mystery, The Legacy of Euriah Pillar. This one’s called The Case of the Indian Flashlights.

The Case of the Indian Flashlights picks up the trail twenty years later, after the dust has settled and the case nearly forgotten. Euriah Pillar’s strongbox, formerly a buried treasure that became a piece of courtroom evidence, now has become a sought-after item for collectors of crime memorabilia. It has fallen into the hands of one such person, a crooked antiques dealer known as Augie Nickleswipe (Stephen Russell) who runs a shop in West Barnstable. A beautiful law student, Roberta Salizar (Christine Rathbun), and a sweet old lady, Mrs. Clattershaw (Bernie MacPherson), also enter the fray. The reluctant-as-usual Doctor Scofield tags along with his friend, the retired police captain, Waverly Underhill, as he cleverly sets snares and unearths clues that lead the detective duo to an ancient tunnel running from a tavern under Route 149 and into the West Barnstable Burial Ground, where lies the crypt of Jabez Howland.

Carol McManus reprises her role as Tishua, the West Indian cook from The Case of the Automatic Murders. Old Tishua delivers the opening monologue, an amalgam of Cape Cod history and mystery, that sets up the tale which spins itself out, answering many questions along the way, including one already implied: Exactly what are ‘Indian Flashlights’ and how do they end up saving the lives of Captain Underhill and Doctor Scofield?

A Captain Waverly Underhill mystery

The Boston Red Sox haven’t won the World Series since 1918. Zachary Develin, an up-and-coming catcher and hitter, may change all that…but first he’s got to survive his first game in Fenway Park. Someone is sending notes to the Sox’s general manager, proclaiming in broken verse that if Develin plays in the annual Cape League exhibition game, he will be killed. Luckily for Zack, Captain Underhill is a big baseball fan, and he’ll go to any lengths to protect the kid…including suiting up for the game himself.

Counting House is an intriguing ‘baseball murder mystery’ wherein Captain Underhill not only saves a young ball player’s life, but ‘reverses the Curse’ by removing ‘The Curse of the Bambino’ from the Red Sox. This program was produced with the full cooperation of the Boston Red Sox, and features the real Fenway Park, the real Fenway organ, and such notables as former and current Red Sox radio announcers, Ken Coleman, and Joe Castiglione.

The late Ken Coleman was a broadcast announcer whose career spaned many decades and included broadcasting Ohio State football games, the Clevelan Indians, the Cleveland Browns, the Boston Red Sox, and many more. He was the author of many sports books and on radio was well known for a variety spot called “Ken’s Corner”. He was a gentleman and a person greatly to be missed.

A Captain Underhill Thriller

Captain Underhill and Doctor Scofield, vacationing up from Cape Cod, encounter more adventure than they sought.

First, they offer a ride to a beautiful park ranger. Then, they’re kidnapped by an escaped convict. To top it all off, they are all swept into a harrowing merry-go-round on a busted-loose ferry platform, which is being sucked into the spiral maw of one of Nature’s most awesome displays, a monstrous tidal whirlpool fourteen hundred feet across.

Musically rich and with awesome sound effects and a marvelous cast, The Whirlpool features John Stead, o.b.e. as the Announcer, regulars David Ellsworth, Wally O’Hara, Stephen Russell and introducing Jade Rutanen.

This story is based on a real natural phenomenon. Just off the easternmost point of land of the United States is situated a rare natural phenomenon; the Old Sow, one of five large size whirlpools in the world, and the largest ‘true’ one, meaning one formed from multiple colliding currents. Passamaquoddy Bay is the breeding ground for the Old Sow and her piglets; Eastport, Maine is where you’ll find it.

A Captain Underhill mystery

When little Anna Gale Storm is abducted by a stranger in a white van, the police– and the media — spring into action. Bulletins are issued. The police swarm. News and police helicopters hover near the twin bridges. Anna Gale’s mother, Betsy Storm, is hysterical but must be questioned. The police are desperate, frustrated by the fact that the only eyewitness is a frightened, easily confused, 5 year old named Jody Higgins.

A parent’s worst nightmare, this story is based in part on a true Cape Cod incident. The locale is Point Isabella, Cotuit, off Old Post Road, where, legend has it, Bluebeard the Pirate buried his girlfriend, Hannah Screechum, after he caught her snooping. Now little Anna Gale Storm, by virtue of her recent kidnapping from the same spot, is in line to take her place alongside Hannah’s. Unless Captain Underhill can get to her in time…
