What happens
Dr. Daniel Scott and Dr. Herman Bach test a serum derived from fruit flies that lets injured creatures adapt instantly to their injuries. They use it on Kira Zellas, a dying tuberculosis patient, who recovers astonishingly and is taken in by Dr. Bach as a paid experimental subject. Her unnerving changes in strength, appearance and healing raise alarm among the doctors. The episode is from the Escape radio series, first broadcast on March 26, 1949, and was adapted from a story by John Jessel. Lead actors credited in the broadcast are Edgar Barrier as Dr. Bach and Staats Harris as Dr. Scott.
A hospital and Dr. Bach's house in an unnamed city, with later scenes in a courtroom and Washington.
Characters: Dr. Daniel Scott, Dr. Herman Bach, Kira Zellas, Mrs. Geth, John Callan, Mr. Salvatore
Listen for: Listen for Kira's first meeting with Dr. Scott and Dr. Bach, and the moment the doctors notice her wounds closing in seconds.
Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
