Escape to Death

Suspence and the producer of radio is outstanding, the editor of frills, the master of mystery and adventure, William N. Robeson. The sixth commandment is short and explicit, thou shalt not kill, yet there are exceptions to the rule regrettably beyond number.

A man who kills is a murderer or a hero, depending upon the circumstances, and circumstances all the cases, such as the circumstances of a people's struggle for freedom. We offer you a neat point of morality to ponder as we present, Escape to Death, starring Mr. Francis Lederer. And now, Mr. Francis Lederer escaped to death. A tale well calculated to keep you

in suspense. Outside, it's snowing more heavily now. Coloring the streets of Budapest with soft whiteness covering the old ugliest snow and ice with their patches of dirty grey and angry red, the red of the blood of the freedom fighters, the fools.

A little more brandy, Dr. Gurlner. Thank you. And tell me, Doctor, how do you find it treating Russian soldiers? about the same. You know, the dying scream, the sick ones curse, the ones who are not so bad, make eyes at my nurse. And man, it's the same regardless of the uniform. My few warm and safe.

Here with me are Laszlo Kogosch, for my head of the secret police and now deputy premier, and Marshall Nikolai Chekhov, Russian commander in Hungary. I must admit, I am quite flattered by the attention of these important men.

And that is where you come in, Doctor. Er...forgive me, I...er...what were you saying? The subject was devotion to duty and country. Comrade Kogosh was just observing how hard you have worked to preserve Hungary. Well, after all, Commander, I am a Doctor.
