Listen to Herbert Marshall as the man called X. Wherever there is mystery, intrigue, romance in all the strange and dangerous places of the world, there you will find the man called X. Of all the weapons of modern warfare, those that have gained the greatest notoriety are the guided missiles, the death-dealing germs, the terrifying atomic and each bonds.
But perhaps the deadliest, the most vicious weapon of all is one that we cannot see nor feel. But the impact of which can be a thousandfold more destructive. The weapon? The big lie. A widow in a Maundice, New York apartment receives a mysterious telephone call.
Rumors spreads through automotive community in Los Angeles, California. Yeah, yeah, they're really getting a raw deal.
All your guys in Korea being used as assault troops. They get themselves bumped off knocking out enemy positions, and the other boys move up without even getting their hair messed. Talk about a raw deer.
In a small town just outside Narmicamp in Tennessee. The way I heard it, they don't know how good these new atom rockets were work against troops. So they shipped A and B companies out to the proving grounds last week to use them as human guinea pigs.
