Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you the red of young, Jeffery Lynn and Brian Donlevy in Jezebel. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.
The test of gold is fire, and the test of a strong man or woman is not peace and success, but danger and disaster. It's true today and it was true a hundred years ago when a vain and selfish girl suffered her trial by fire and came out a heroine Tonight we tell the story of that girl in Jezebel

Jezebel takes us back to a glamorous scene, the South before the war between the states, a land of gallant quick-tempered men and lovely impetuous women, who lived by the high code of a day now beyond recall, lived excitingly, dramatically, and dangerously.
