Well, it is time for 8 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,320 our four thousand, five hundred episode special, and after last 9 00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:06,840 week's special featuring an episode of Escape, I decided to 10 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,560 be good to play an episode of Escape that's a 11 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,519 little closer to the type of stories we usually do. 12 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:20,719 And I found this episode, which was written by Tony Barrett, 13 00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:25,879 who appeared in so many Great detective programs in supporting 14 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,040 roles and as various thugs, a policeman, and of course 15 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,719 his biggest ongoing role as Cabby Mark Donovan on the 16 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,439 Adventures of Frank Race and we've already heard some of 17 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,000 his writing on Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. So I decided 18 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,760 to give this episode a try, and it's a little 19 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,040 bit different than what we normally played, but I think 20 00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:52,480 it's still worth a listen. This is actually the second 21 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,760 to last episode of Escape, the original air date September 22 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,799 the eighteenth, nineteen fifty four, and the time is the Target. 23 00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:10,319 Speaker 2: Tired of the everyday grind, ever dream of a life 24 00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:16,280 of romantic adventure, want to get away from it all? 25 00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 3: We offer you Escape. 26 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,159 Speaker 4: Escape, designed to free you from the four walls of 27 00:02:28,199 --> 00:02:31,319 today for a half hour of high adventure. 28 00:02:44,479 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 2: You stare down from the heights of your plane and 29 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,479 your brain keeps whispering.

Tomorrow night, when Mister 401 00:30:13,839 --> 00:30:17,160 and Missus North bring us their latest thrilling mystery, don't forget. 402 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,119 CBS Radio has a date for Mystery with Mister and 403 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,039 Missus North Tomorrow night, and you're welcome to on most 404 00:30:23,079 --> 00:30:27,079 of these same stations. Stay tune now for Night Watch, 405 00:30:27,079 --> 00:30:30,920 which follows immediately over most of these stations. Where there's 406 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,000 gun smoke, there's Western Adventure Monday nights on the CBS 407 00:30:34,119 --> 00:31:06,480 Radio Network. 408 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: Welcome back. In interesting showcase of Tony Barrett's writing, and 409 00:31:35,759 --> 00:31:40,759 it definitely has a more modern feel. It features a 410 00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:47,640 morally ambiguous at best protagonist, so it's really hard to like 411 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,759 or root for. He's the type of character that I 412 00:31:51,759 --> 00:31:54,039 think you can get away with in a one off 413 00:31:54,119 --> 00:31:57,759 story or a film noir, and this really does that 414 00:31:58,039 --> 00:32:01,319 have that sort of feel to it. It also has 415 00:32:01,359 --> 00:32:05,599 a very ambiguous ending, which is really unusual for radio 416 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,319 show of this era. Typically you'll see a whistler type 417 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:15,119 ending where the guiltiest punished or they are inescapably trapped 418 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,599 in their own lives and Steati's like darn I got 419 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,799 some awkward explaining today. Trust be told, this is not 420 00:32:23,079 --> 00:32:26,880 my favorite type of story, although I have had listeners 421 00:32:27,039 --> 00:32:30,440 asking for these sort of stories off and on throughout 422 00:32:30,559 --> 00:32:33,519 the years, so I hope you're still listening and are happy. 423 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:40,480 The Escape Suspense Blog notes that the town of Toultan 424 00:32:41,079 --> 00:32:45,200 where the story starts, doesn't actually exist anymore. It was 425 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:50,960 wiped out by tsunami in the Great Chilean Earthquake of 426 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:57,119 nineteen sixty. There was a new community founded afterwards called 427 00:32:57,519 --> 00:33:02,039 Nueva Toultan nearby.

Which is it down? 452 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 3: What's the trouble? Don't you think I can take it standing? 453 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 9: I don't know what gave you the idea I had 454 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,920 anything unpleasant report, but you have. Yeah, you know, generally 455 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,280 I don't handle this kind of matter. 456 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,800 Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad you made an exception in my case. 457 00:34:44,039 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 9: I only did because you seem so concerned about your daughter, 458 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:48,880 and as you suspected, your son in law has been 459 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,440 running around with a girl named Rita Jordan. He's married 460 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,079 to a petty losny thief named Leo. 461 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:54,679 Speaker 3: I don't believe you. 462 00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:57,039 Speaker 9: You don't believe what that. He's a petty lostny thief 463 00:34:57,079 --> 00:35:00,719 for that, and he's been playing around neither. I don't 464 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,239 understand you, victim. You asked me to do some research 465 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,559 on your son in law. Obviously you were suspicious. 466 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,039 Speaker 3: I was nothing of the kind. I was merely interested 467 00:35:08,119 --> 00:35:11,760 in seeing how you private detectives operate, and you were 468 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,039 supposed to be the best. Now I'm not for sure. 469 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 5: What do I owe you? 470 00:35:16,599 --> 00:35:17,760 Speaker 9: Oh, I'll set up an explanation. 471 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,119 Speaker 3: I'm afraid you won't get it. 472 00:35:19,679 --> 00:35:22,280 Speaker 13: You better take my check, mister Wearing, you'll find it 473 00:35:22,519 --> 00:35:23,559 much more satisfied. 474 00:35:23,559 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 1: I hope you'll be with us then in the meantime. 475 00:35:26,079 --> 00:35:30,880 Send your comments to Box thirteen at Great Detectives dot net, 476 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,119 follow us on Twitter at Radio Detectives, and check us 477 00:35:35,199 --> 00:35:42,239 out on Instagram, Instagram, dot com slash Great Detectives from Boise, Idaho. 478 00:35:42,599 --> 00:35:44,719 This is your host, Adam Graham. 479 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:45,599 Speaker 3: Sign and off.
