About
the Series
Arriving at Inverness, young Jack Flanders encounters strange
happenings at the old Victorian mansion. Jack counts only three
towers in Inverness, even though he is certain he has seen a fourth.
An old jukebox, which he cannot locate, plays a haunting 50's
tune just before an accident happens. Jack pursues the hidden
jukebox, searching through sliding panels, hollow walls, and underground
passageways until finally he discovers the entrance to the Fourth
Tower that only he can see. In all these years, eight people have
ventured into the Tower, never to be seen again. Jack is the ninth...
Upon
entering the tower, Jack discovers steps that spiral endlessly
upward. On each level there is a door, and as our hero opens each
door he steps into different dimensions: strange worlds of myth
and mystical fantasy.
The
Fourth Tower of Inverness is classic radio, a humorous adventure,
with many levels of meaning behind the mystery. It is a beautiful
allegory of illusion and reality.
