Transcript

Family Theater presents Otto Kruger, Keith Brazell, and William Londigan. From Hollywood, Family Theater presents Abalone Boat, starring Keith Brazell and Otto Kruger. William Londigan will be your host. Family Theater's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention the practice that must become an important part of our lives, if we're to win peace for ourselves, peace for our families, and peace for the world.

Family Theater urges you to pray. Pray together as a family. An Ottawa transcribed drama, Abalone Boat starring Otto Krueger as youngko, and Keith Brazil as Jim. In the dictionary under the word Abalone, you will find the definition, any of a genus of gastropod mollus having a shell of slightly spiral form with a row of

apatures. The shell is lined with mother of pearl. There isn't anymore, for all Noah Webster was never one to spend an unnecessary word. And what did he know of the hardships and dangers that men of abalone fleet face when they sail from San Pedro to pry this tooth-sooth delicacy from the rocks and ledges and the twilight depths of the blue Pacific.

This is the story of Yanko Stepanovic, born in Yugoslavia, captain and owner of the abalone boat, star of the Edriatic. It also concerns his sons Pete and Mike, his daughter Maria, and the man who loves Maria, Jimmy Stanton.

Most of all, perhaps, it concerns courage. The raw courage which enables a man to rise above himself and face an unknown and ghastly horror. Hey Mike, guess what I just seen Mike? Wait, wait I'll make this shot.
