What happens
Adam Hamish, who has spent years hiding from a past he would rather forget, returns to the South Pacific island of Amokar, where he lived during the war. He has been fleeing a man who has followed him from Boston, and he believes he has finally shaken him off. Escape is the radio series that presents this tale, and the story was first broadcast on June 21, 1953. Ted de Corsia plays Adam, and the cast also includes Anthony Barrett, Edgar Barrier and Mary Hanson. On the island, Adam reconnects with old friends and begins to reflect on the choices that brought him back. The episode follows his life on Amokar and the tensions that build around him.
The South Pacific island of Amokar, and a schooner voyage from Papiti toward the island.

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.
