What happens
Four survivors of the freighter Capricorn drift in a lifeboat in the Indian Ocean until they find a derelict sailing ship. Among them are Cora, a dancer, and three men named Keaton, Mike and Lu. On board they discover a pile of gold bricks beside two skeletons. The gold leads the castaways to argue over how it should be divided, and tension builds between them as the days pass. The episode of Escape is the 180th in the series and was first broadcast on April 26, 1953. Cora's lead role is played by Charlotte Lawrence.

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.
