057- Red Wine -Jeff Chandler

Fed up with the everyday grind, tired out by the dull routine. You want to get away from it all. We offer you escape. Escape transcribed to free you from the four walls of today for a half hour of high adventure.

I'm in the jungle with three men. You know that one of them is a desperate criminal, From you've come to arrest, but you don't know which one. You have to find him before he can save himself by killing you.

Today we escape from reality into the depths of a tropical jungle in a tantalizing search for a murder. As LG Blochman told it, in his famous story, Red Wine! Rusty little tramphreight have bumped against the rickety wharf and I dropped from the rail under the planking.

For the first time felt the humid heat roll out of the jungle. This was Tanjiang Samar, sweltering, half forgotten, last outpost on the rubber coast of Borneo. I crossed the beach and walked up the path of crushed shells leading to a low bungalow at the edge of the jungle.

The freighter would lie at the war for four hours. But it's time for me to get the thing over with and be back aboard when she saved. I was expecting trouble of course, but no real danger.

I'd done jobs like this before, or at least I thought this would be the same. I thought so until I stepped up on the porch and met here Kurt, controller, that Tenjungsomar district. Yeah, I'm here, Kurt, the controller.

What is it I can do for you? My name's Paul Verneam, Mr. Kurt. I have a letter of introduction here from the Governor-General. There you go. Mr. Paul Veneer from the United States. Yeah, the governor promised me your cooperation.
