Zero Hour

The broadcasting system presents the mysterious traveler written produced and directed by Robert A. Arthur and David Kogan and starring tonight to a radio's foremost actors, Mofson's Herbie and Cameron Poodal in an original radio drama titled Zero Hour.

This is the mysterious traveler inviting you to join me on another journey into the realm of the strange and the terrifying. I hope you will enjoy the trip, and it will thrill you a little and chill you a little.

So, saddle-packed, get a good whip on your nerves and be comfortable, if you can, as you hear the story I call, Zero Hour. Our story tonight begins in the large, luxurious office of Dr. William Jackson, the noted psychiatrist.

Dr. Jackson, a tall, intelligent-looking man in his late 50s, is seated in a chair beside a fireplace, reading a patient's case history. As he reads, the door to his office is quietly opened, and Keith Roberts, a slender nervous man of 35, peers into the room.

Pardon me, Doctor. Oh, it's you, Mr. Roberts. Come in. Thank you. Is there anything I can do for you? Doctor, I just couldn't stay in my room. I must talk to you. I simply must.

Now, tomorrow, do? No, no. It'll be too late then. It's got to be tonight. I see. Well, here, take this chair by the fireplace. Thank you. Doctor, I know you're my final hope. That if you don't find me sane, they'll put me away.

This is my last chance. I must make you see that my story is true. Are you sure it can't wait till tomorrow? No, no. Every minute counts. Even now, time is running out. You saw the law and overwhelming disaster were about to happen?
