What happens
Dr. Mark Donovan, a World Health Organization doctor, arrives in the Malayan river town of La Pore to fight a plague epidemic, only to find his supply of plague serum has vanished from his hotel room. He meets Miss Randall, an American woman running a makeshift hospital in a warehouse, and Dr. Grimes, the town's drunken resident medical officer. Donovan meets the rubber planter Oscar Ford, and a Chinese man named Mr. Kung warns him to leave town. As native unrest grows and a shopkeeper is found shot dead, Donovan must recover the serum before the sickness spreads further. The episode is from the Escape series, first broadcast on November 26, 1950.

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.
