Lux Radio Theater (CBS) Pinocchio. 391225

A festive image of a vintage Santa Claus holding a large sack of toys over his shoulder, with a snowy background and the words "Spread the Christmas Spirit" written in bold white letters above.

Walt Disney’s classic movie, brought to the radio. Featuring Gepeto, the wood carver who wants a boy so badly, he carves one out of wood. A visit from the Blue Fairy grants his wish for happiness. Troubles begin as the animated puppet learns the difference between right and wrong, with the help of his conscience, Jiminey Cricket He’ll have to work hard, but if he masters doing right, he stands to be rewarded by becoming a real boy. Music from the movie is included.

Where will Pinocchio’s troubles lead him? If you’ve seen the movie… and who hasn’t? You’ll know he strays far into temptation, and the wrong path. Despite his conscience, he falls in with all sorts of bad company.

Things are about as bad as they can get when Gepeto finds himself in trouble while searching for his errant, wooden boy. Thanks to some fast and selfless thinking, and a repentant heart, Pinocchio saves the day for both his dad, and himself.
