Adventures by Morse. Cautony Morse presents... The Cobra King Strikes Back, featuring Captain Friday. If you like high adventure, come with me. If you like the stealth of intrigue, come with me. If you like blood and thunder, come with me.

Tonight, we are plunging toward the land of the Cobra King, Toward Cambodia, which is in the jungle country of French Indochina, Cambodia, the land of the mysterious ancient folk, the land now under the sway of the cobra and the wild elephants and the tiger, the land of Oriental myth and Oriental wonder, a land to the east,

to reach it from San Francisco, one travels to Hawaii, to Hong Kong, to Saigon, which is the capital of Indochina, and then through the jungle is northward. This is where the Carter expedition is headed.

And right now is a good time for you to meet Dr. Carter, archeologist, scientist, explorer, Dr. Carter. At the moment, my party and I are aboard the steamship West failure between Hawaii and Hong Kong.

The object of this expedition into the wilds of Cambodia will be explained shortly, but right now I want you to know the other members of my party. First, you must meet my daughter, Celia. She's especially trained by me to be a historian of this expedition.

Celia, please. Daughter, secretary, historian. That's quite an order for one girl to fulfill on one expedition. Oh, it's all right to be flippant, my dear, but just remember, there's bitter and trig and danger connected with this expedition.

I love danger. I eat it up. Well, that's my daughter Celia. The second member of my party you must know is Professor Ernst LeBroun, medical advisor and scientific technician. Professor Lebron, my friend. We, Dr. Carter, I was just remarking that I feel I've added greatly to our expeditions chances of success by persuading you to become a member of my party.
