What happens
Two young Pennsylvania men, Josh Ford and Ryan Dixon, give up their business in New Kensington and sail to Haiti chasing a dream. In Port-au-Prince they meet a woman at the Cafe de Pavillon de Petit Lune, and a poet who wants them to deliver merchandise they do not have. The woman is later found slashed to death by a fighting bird. Josh and Ryan are taken away by armed men who claim to be patriots, and they are held at an estate near the coast. The story is part of Escape, a half-hour adventure series, and it was broadcast on July 31, 1954. The episode's lead actors are not named in the transcript.

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.
