Tired of the everyday routine? Ever dream of a life of romantic adventure? Want to get away from it all? We offer you escape! Escape! Transcribe to free you from the four walls of today for a half hour of high adventure!

You are standing outside a room, horror gripping you. or before your eyes seen through the trentsome window, the most beautiful girl in the world is about to die, because of you. Today we escape from reality with a fascinating story of a girl who lived a weird second life, as John Jessel told it, in his gripping story, the adaptive ultimate.

No, Daniel, I can't do it. You have a very interesting theory. It's more than a theory, Dr. Bach. I've proved it. It works. I tried my serum on tibriculogini pigs and it cured them. They adapted themselves to the tibriculobicilis and live.

I tried my serum on a dog with rabies. He adapted himself too. I tried it on a cat, the broken spine. The cat instantly adapted itself to its injury so that the spine had time to knit and heal.

Don't you see what a tremendous discovery this is? Think what that would mean in accident cases. There'd be no further need for emergency surgery, don't you see that? No matter what the condition, the injury to the body, our mere injection of my serum would permit the patient instantly to adapt himself to his condition and live.

No matter what his injury. Exactly. A serum made from insect. From a common fruit fly. The most adaptable of living organisms. Taroff a wing and it grows a new one. Taroff its head even. Stick on a new head and that too will adhere in time.
