Transcript
Listen to Herbert Marshall transcribed as the man called X. Wherever there is mystery, adventure, intrigue, in all the strange and dangerous places of the world, there you will find the man called X. The news caused little excitement in the papers or on the air.
A sentence or two was enough to inform a disinterested public. The Dr. Franzarly convicted Nazi war criminal had escaped from the metal ward at Strasbourg Military Hospital. And then the incident was forgotten. For who was there to know that this unimportant little episode might result in a major European catastrophe?
Might result in World War III. Any word about Saudi yet, Chief? Oh, Ken, come in. No, nothing new yet. They've set up a routine search for him, probably find him heading for the Russians own a Germany.
Maybe they better try Portugal. Portugal? Why, so Charlie, go there. Well, because the heads of the North Atlantic Treaty are going to meet there in Lisbon. So don't get it, man. Chief, do you remember what he was working on for the Nazis during the last war?
Oh, could I forget? The deadliest gas ever invented by man, nerve gas. That's right. But we heard about it in time. Man used to grab both Sally and the gas before the Nazis had a chance to use it.
Yeah, I know. What's that got to do with Lisbon? Chief, I was at Sally's trial when he swore that someday he'd kill the man responsible for seizing the gas. You know who that man is?
Well, sure, the chairman of the NATO meeting at Lisbon, the man responsible for the entire defense of Wettenure. Can't. Yes. Good Lord. If he was able to release some of that gas at the NATO meeting, he'd kill the heads of defense for every nation.
