The Man Who Couldn't Die

I am Lipton Soup present in a Sanctum mystery. This is your host to the inner sanctum inviting you in for the creaking door.

Come on in and enter into the spirit of things. Oh, don't pay any attention to those googling sounds you hear. They are the unfortunate ones. The Midnight Spirits who were caught haunting before Midnight, poor things.

All they can do now is gurgle, because they've evaporated into distilled spirits. What a horrifying thought, Mr. Host. Can't we ever talk about the brighter side of life? Well, don't forget Mary, murder is my business.

Well, thank goodness it isn't mine. And right now, I'd much prefer to talk with our lips and listeners about something more conducive to happy spirits. I mean, a cup of hearty piping hot Lipton tea.

You know, it's really wonderful. The extra delight you get from this superb tea, friends. And the reason is simply this, Lipton's grand brisk flavor. Brisk, you know, is the tea expert's own word for the fresh, full-bodied, lively flavor of Lipton tea.

Because unlike ordinary teas, Lipton's is never flat-tasting or lifeless. Lipton T is always spirited, full-flavored, truly satisfying. Why, I'd even go so far as to say that once you've tried it, I think you'll enjoy Lipton T more than any other T you've ever tasted.

And I'll go even further, Mary, and introduce our listeners to tonight's story. It's an original radio play written especially for Inna Sanctum by Emil Tepelman and starring Richard Whitmark in the role of Alex Gregory.

It's about a man who became master of a secret, so fearful that it could never be revealed to any mortal, living or dead. But let him tell you the story himself. How he learned the most terrible secret in all the universe.
