What happens
Professor Antoine Edwards travels through French equatorial Africa with his daughter Lorna and his assistant Jack Martin. The professor has obtained a preserved human head that speaks, and he believes its words are a language he has studied for twenty years, one that may point the way to the lost Atlantis. One night Lorna is found walking in her sleep, apparently drawn toward the bush. Her father and Jack bring her back to bed and tie her down, while the professor's servant Guru keeps watch over the camp. The professor is convinced the head's chatter gives directions to a people of perfect health. The episode is part of the Moon Over Africa series and was first broadcast on March 23, 1935.

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.
