About this episode
In an ordinary American city, salesman Jerry Price is stunned when his old Army buddy, Paul Gardner, walks into Paddy Noonan’s bar — especially since Paul died nine years ago in Vietnam. Worse, he brings unsettling news: According to the Divine Plan, Jerry was meant to perish that day, while Paul was destined to survive, marry Jerry’s wife, Marge, and father a world-changing child. But cosmic balance must be restored, and time is running out for Jerry to meet the fate he narrowly escaped.About If You Please, Himan Brown’s Radio Mystery Theater
