Escape - Train from Oebisfelde

In Escape's "Train from Oebisfelde," a British agent must transport a nuclear physicist on a train that is rigged for destruction.

Lawton Herrick, a valuable nuclear scientist, has decided to return to the western world after selling his services behind the Iron Curtain. Agent Bruce Kellander now has to transport him by train to British Intelligence in Hanover, Germany.

Things seem to be going smoothly, but after the train makes its first stop, an enemy agent boards with a suitcase filled with explosives. British Intelligence is aware of the threat and sends an agent to help Bruce. The bomb is set to go off when the train reaches the Oker River Bridge--and they have an hour before that happens. If the train stops beforehand, the bomb will blow. Can they find the enemy agent and his suitcase in time?

"Train from Oebisfelde" was written by Ross Murray. William Conrad starred. The ending credits are cut off in this recording, so names of the other actors aren't given. This episode aired on September 6, 1953.

Terrible episode. So by-the-numbers.

I just don't enjoy many of Escape's spy stories very much. I can't put my finger on why exactly.
