by Paul Bryers, based on his novel "The Cat Trapper"
with Trevor Cooper as Christopher Coney
and Jenny Twigge as Caroline Kovaks

Christopher Coney earns his living as a travel writer "re-writing puffs for the travel trade"- a job he describes as a "mug's game." But when he takes off with a girl-friend for Bulgaria to write a piece on the Black Sea resorts, he walks into adventure and the sort of danger which a mere travel writer hardly expects to face in the normal course of duty - mug or no mug!

A ghost story by saki adapted by MICHAEL ELDER Read by Robert Trotter
' " What do you feed on?" asked Van Cheele. " Flesh," said the boy. " Since it interests you, rabbits, wild fowl, hares, poultry, children when I can get any; they're usually too well locked in at night, when I do most of my hunting. It's quite two months since I tasted child flesh." '
