Transcript

Family Theater presents Jane Wyatt, Wardbahn and James Whitmore. Drum Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater, presents James Whitmore and Wardbahn in the Visitor. To introduce the drama, here's your hostess, Jane Wyatt.

Thank you, Tony Lefrano. Family Theater's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice that must become an important part of our lives if we are to win Peace for ourselves, Peace for our families, and Peace for the World. Family Theatre urges you to pray. Pray together as a family.

And now to our drama, The Visitor, starring James Whitmore as Lou Anders and Wardbahn as the Major. For the last time, Major, are you going to let me off this field? For the last time, no. And you know why, Mr. Anders.

And you won't let me file my story from here. No. You say I know why. Well, I don't know why. And frankly, I think you're a little bit of a fool for this attitude. For the first time in the history of the world, we are visited by someone from another planet.

For the first time in the history of the world, we're given a solution for all the troubles this Earth is heir to, by someone who might know, and you want to play dictator and withhold this.

That's enough, Mr. Chairman. It's not enough, Major. This isn't a military installation, it's a private airfield. And this isn't a military matter, it concerns everybody, and get this Major Winters. I'm going to print this story while it'll still do some good with your help or without it.

And if your guest from outer space dies, before I can print it, you can bet you a life you'll never be a colonel. Get out of here, Anders. Out of me around, Junior. I'm not under martial law.
