The Weird Circle presents “Declared Insane,” episode 5, originally broadcast September 26, 1943. Adapted from Honoré de Balzac’s L’Interdiction, this literary suspense drama was written by Peggy Mayer, with Morris Hamilton and Oscar Turner among the production team behind the series’ early adaptations.

In France, Judge Popinot receives a petition to have the Marquis d’Espard declared insane. As the inquiry examines an estranged marriage, disputed finances, and family loyalties, the case raises unsettling questions about motive, reputation, and who stands to gain from the judgment.

Old Time Horror Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
