What happens
Two young men, one of them called Pan, are drinking together when a dare turns into a deadly game of chance with a revolver and a single bullet. Each takes a turn pointing the gun at his own head and pulling the trigger, while the other pushes him to keep playing and questions his courage. Pan's nerves grow visible as the turns continue. The episode is part of the Escape radio series and originally aired on August 30, 1953.
A room where two young men are drinking and playing a game with a gun.
Characters: Pan, Louie
Listen for: The tense back-and-forth over who is chicken, and the clicks of the revolver during each turn.
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.
