"You ever hear anybody say 'I'd sell my soul for' this, that or the other? Well, not very many people really mean it when they say it. Unfortunately, I did. And I found a buyer. No, nothing very exciting. No crashes of thunder, no red fire. No, the doorbell just rang and when I opened the door there was a worried little looking man standing there."
This episode is about 1/3rd serious and 2/3rd very funny; this is the story of a man who sells his soul to the Devil and, as he proclaims "makes a profit." But like all such tales there are loopholes which the Devil is eager to exploit. There are many depictions of the Devil in popular culture - here he comes off primarily like a meek businessman but he's shrewd and definitely not to be trusted.
"Kill Me Again" was originally broadcast November 17, 1947. You can listen to the episode at Quiet, Please.org.
