What happens
Tom Dawson, a painter in Port Moresby, discovers that his wife Elizabeth has been seeing Pierre Duquesne, and he flees into the New Guinea interior. He lives among the natives of a hidden valley, where a wristwatch from Elizabeth becomes a source of fear and danger. The headman Ramabu sees the watch as a magical thing, and a young woman named Jerry becomes part of Tom's life. This is the Escape episode The Silent Horror, first broadcast on August 22, 1951.

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.
