What happens
Captain Nagel sails a ship to the South Sea island of Mauna Quora, carrying supplies and a new governor, Eugene Delage, who is sent to enforce the law there. Delage meets the island's people, including the young couple Tarangi and Marama, whose wedding he witnesses. Soon Tarangi is sentenced to prison for striking a white man who molested him, and he escapes. The Campbell Playhouse presentation of The Hurricane is an episode of The Mercury Theatre on the Air, first broadcast on November 5, 1939, starring Orson Welles, who narrates the story and plays Delage.

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.
